SAN ANTONIO. May 19.-By the first of the coming week almost 1000 men will he added to the border partol in the Big Bend district where ban dits raided Boquillas and Glenn Springs two weeks ago. General Fun ston has given orders for the Sixth Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Jos eph A. Gaston, that arrived today at Columbus, N. M. from service with General Pershing's column to report immediately at Maria, Texas. From there this regiment will be appor- tioaed to Sierra Blanca, Alpine and Marathon.
 Colonel Sibley is expected to reach the border near Boquillas Monday and soon afterwards Major Langhorne is expected to arrive with his troops of the Eighth Cavalry bringing to an end the little eXpeditionary movement be- gun after the raid on Glenn Springs.
 Brig. General Henry A. A. Greene left here tonight for the border and early in the coming week it is eX- pected the militia will be ready to take its assignment in the Brownsville dis trct.

This informa- tion was contained in a message re- ceived tonight from Major Langhorne dated yesterday at Fl iPno, to Cap tain G. A. Wieczorek of the 127th coast artillery here. It was men, toned also that Lieutenant Cramer's command wounded two bandits and captured four prisoners in the fight. name is not given, was one of the four caught. The bandits left behind in their flight ten Mauser rifles which Lieutenant Cramer secured.
 Major Langhorne mentioned in his message that he has his troops at
 Sierra Blanca, Los Alamos and Fl
 Pinto, the latter place being his head
 quarters. No mention is made in the
 message as to the whereabouts of
 Colonel Sibley, but it is supposed that he is camped at Sierra Blanca
 with the Fourteenth cavalry. Cartain Hageman of the quarter ; master department, is expected to re- port here tomorrow from Columbus to take charge of the motor truck division of the expedition.
 It is given out officially that natives have informed Major Langhorne at 1 Fl Pinto that one hundred Carranza

.L|FE OF LYNCH
 SAVED BY PLEA
 OF AMBASSADOR
IRepublican A. p. Leased wiref

WASHINGTON, May 19. -Ampas- sador Page at London cabled the state department tonight that the sentence of Jeremiah c. Lynch, the naturalized American convicted of complicity in the Dublin uprising, had not been con- firmed, but that in accordance with instructions from Secretary Lansing the British government had been asked to suspend the infliction of any pun ishment peifling an investigation.
 Until this message came there had been no definite assurance that Lynch was alive. Senator OGorman in- formed President Wilson last night that he had been informed by friends of Lynch in New York that he was sentenced to be shot at midnight, New York time. Secretary Lansing, at the presidents direction despatched at once instructions to Ambassador Page to seek a reprieve. This was done at g o'clock but it was feared the appeal might be too late.
 Early today the state department re- ceived a garbled code message from the ambassador transmitting 8 report from the American consul at Dublin. The report, dated yesterday and evil dently forwarded before MT. Page re- ceived Secretary Lansing's message, said Lynch had been tried by field court martial yesterday. An omis- sion made the cablegram unintelligible but apparently the consul was report l ing that either execution or sentence
 was to take place at daybreak today Ambassador Page will inquire into

to take oath of allegiance in the regu- Jar establishment. The number re- iected for disability was negligible General Funston was still without ad- vices today relative to the return of American consuls from Mexico.
 Late tonight, General Funston re- ceived a message from Colonel Sibley saying the expedition which started from Glenn Springs ten days ago was coming out of Mexico. Major Lang horne with two troops of cavalry has penetrated to Cerro Blanco, 135 miles from Boquillas.
 Having rescued the Americans taken prisoner by the Glenn Springs bandits and scattered the raiders and also be- cause of scarcity of water and forage, Colonel Siblcy decided to return. His message stated the troops would start back as soon as he could collect scat tered detachments of Troop A which were some 15 miles in advance of the main body.
 The message also contained a sup piemental report on the brush with the Mexican bandits a few days ago. This report gives the wounded as four and captured as two and the capture of 1 ten rifles. One of the wounded is a son of the Carranza commender at l Sierra Majadas.

WIRE TAPPING PROBE BRINGS
 NEW SENSATION
[Repnbllcan A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, May 19--Disclosures, develonments and charges came in rapid succession today Tn the Thomp- son legislative committees inquiry into the wire tapping activities of the New York police. After hours of verbal exchanges between State Sen ator George F. Thompson, chairman of the committee. and municipal of ficers, Police Commissioner Arthur Woods was permitted to take the stand to attempt to justify the wire tapping practice.
 Earlier in the day when the con- troversy between Mayor Mitchell and Senator Thompson had reached an acute stage, the mayor accused the senator of Cumulative treachery" to the United States because the com mittee chairman insisted on going on with his inquiry after MT. Mitchell had protested that to do so might involve the federal government in grave inter- national complications, in connection with munitions contracts. Senator Thompson asserted that the United States was in no way involved. He | was supported in. this contention by | District Attorney Swann. This phase | was complicated tonight when United | States Attorney H. Snowden Marshall 1 issued a statement declaring "any publication of the facts in the case l at this time would be most regrettable from the standpoint of the admins | tration of federal justice"
 1 Mir Woods, in his testimony failed to make any disclosures regarding ar international plot.
 The greater part of the day was | spent by the committee in secret ses | sion. Later today after the occu

SECOND HANGING
 SINCE STATEHOOD
Five Years Almost to a Day Since Francisco Rodri- guez Was Condemned, He Pays Penalty for Cold blooded Crime
BY R. p. HOLIDAY

FLORENCE, May 19.-With the wind blowing a gale outside and great clouds of dust surging against the walls of the penitentiary Francisco H. Rodriguez, convicted wife murderer, calmly walked up the stairs to the death room, took his place on the gallows without tremor and was dropped through the floor into eter- ity. He entered the death chamber at eight minutes after three o'clock, the trap was sprung two minutes later and fourteen and a half min utes afterward he was pronounced dead by the prison physician.
 It was a very nervous little group of men who wended their way from Warden Sims office toward the death chamber. There was little chatting in the group; rather they walked along with eyes on the ground. AS they were admitted to the death house Rodriguez calmly stood behind the bars of the tier of cells which had been his home for five long years of uncertainty He gave back glance for glance. Outside of a tightening of the lips he exhibited no sign that he realized in a few min utes he was to face the group in an entirely different role.
 As soon as the witnesses had taken their places in the death room, War den Sims and several of the guards who had been especially close to the condemned man, took their last leave. Rodriguez stuck out his hand with n nA rrrith shook hands with each of them.
 Well, Frank, let's get it over with" said Warden Sims, and Rod riguez assented in cheerful tone. The guards quickly strapped his hands behind him and he ascended the stairs without aid It was but the work of seconds to show him where to stand on the trap and to bind his legs with a heavy strap.
 He was dressed in neat blue suit with a pin stripe pattern. In his right buttonhole he wore two carna tions. Just before his arms were his shoes, saying that he did no want to die with them on.
 Have you anything to say?" sait Warden Sims. With smile whicl lighted his whole counteannce, Rod riguez replied, ''No-o. there's noth ing to say" and then he faltered. bu only for a moment. "Only, every one goodbye And once again tn smile lighted up his gaze.

F|L|BU5TER|NG HA[TS PASSAGE
 SHIPPING BILL
TRenubican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 19-Filibuster- ing Of Republican Leader Mann to- night prevented the democrats from carving out their plan to pass the ad- ministration shipping bill before ad- journment.
 Debate on the measure closed at four o'clock this afternoon and three hours later it was ready for passage Virtu- ally as reported by the committee, in spite of persistent effort to amend 1t. Representative Mann demanded teller votes on many of the hundred or more amendments offered by republicans and when a final vote on the measure itself was about to be taken, he in sisted that the formality of reading the engrossed bill be observed. as the bill had not been engrossed there was nothing to do but adjourn. The vote probably will be reached early tomor- row afternoon.
 Early in the day while the house was in the committee of the whole, the republicans succeeded in striking out the section providing for the purchase of ships by the government but this was restored by the house itself. The only result of the strict party vote by which the section was stricken out 10e to 90, was to give the republicans ran opportunity to cheer and laugh al the discontinue of the democrats ove; the failure of their forces to be oI hand to vote. Majority Leaders inn mediately sent out hurried calls fol members, and when the section agair was voted on it was restored by vote of POS to 152.
 Indications tonight were that the bil would pass without vital amendment by almost a strict party vote.
