SECOND TRAIN OUT
Supplies Sent by Rail to Casas
Grandes Today.
Lack of RatiOnS at Front Is
Causing Uneasiness.

Ell Paso, Texas, April 10.-The sec
ond trainload of supplies consigned to
Mormon merchants at Casas Grandes
will leave Juarez today but it is now
doubtful if this will relieve the lack OF
rations at the front. Several hundred
tons of canned goods, forage, etc, is
now piled high and exposed to the
weather at Casas Grandes. The motor
truck trains have had no difficulty in
getting the supplies that far.
Carranza money. which scared in
price until one dollar was worth al
most four cents last week. has dropped
to practically nothing again. Still the
soldiers are paid in this money and the
natives have, no other medium of eX-
change for the necessaries of life.
1t is no longer denied that hundreds
of the former Carranza soldiers have
deserted the garrisons to- forage and
loot because there is no other alterna-
tive except starvation.
Wilson Harris. a reliable ranchman
who lives near Preside, Texas, said
here that bandits of this class are in
possession of nearly every ranch from
La Mula Pass to Ojinaga. The same
conditions prevail for a distance of SO
miles up and down the Rio Grande in
the Big Bend country.

Enters Plea Today at Arraignnient;
Reserves Right to Change 1t.

New York, April 10.-Dr Arthur
Warren Waite, who has confessed to
poisoning his father-in-law, John E.
Peck, millionaire drug manufacturer
of Grand Rapids, Mich, entered
through his counsel today a plea of
not guilty, when arraigned on the in
dictment charging him with murder In
the first degree. His counsel, how
ever, reserved the right to change the
plea within ten days.
Committed Without Bail.
District Attorney Swami consented
to this arrangement and DR.. Waite
was committed to the tombs without
bail. No date was set for the trial.
The arrangement required only two
minutes and DIR. Waite spoke no word
but stood pale and quiet, gazing at the
floor. 1t was apparent that he had
not fully recovered from his recent
illness caused by the drugs he took
on the day before his arrest.

DEADLINE UNDER DISCUSSION.
Officials Decline to Discuss 1t But
Admit 1t Is in PROTOCOL

Washington, April 10.-Secretary
Lansing and Secretary Baker declined
to comment today on border reports
that an agreement between Washing
ton and the CarranZa government had
fixed "deadline" beyond which the
American troops would not go in their
pursuit of the Villa bandits.
Secretary Baker declared in answer
to questions that such an agreement
would come under the pending pro-
tocol and was a subject not under the
war departments Jurisdiction. The
proposed protocol of which little has
become known still is under discus
sion at General Carranza's provisional
capital, Quertaro. Special Agent
Rodgers left the provisional capital for
Mexico City last week, but expects to
return to General CarranZa's head
quarters soon, when the negotiations
will be resumed.
At both the state and war depart
ment it was said nothing was known
of reports of massing of Carranza
troops on General Pershing'S rear
