LOCATE NEGRO BOY
AFTER THREE DAYS

Jakey Allen. colored boy, living at
S12 Fourteenth street, has learned a
whole lot in the last three days. He
is II years old. Three days ago he
started away from his home. His
grandmother, Mrs. Matte Allen, has
been frantic She appealed to the po-
lice Saturday night to find the lad.
Yesterday he was picked up in Moline,
Today he is at police headquarters,
Authorities are in "a quandary over
what to do with him. A bicycle, which
he admitted stealing from in front OF
Horst & Strieter's garage, was in his
possession when he was nabbed by the
Plow city police. The owner of the
wheel has not been located. After he
is found the authorities will likely de-
eide whether or not the lad will be
taken into county court to answer to
charges of delinquency.

suit was halted by the hostility OF
Mexicans.
There was no opportunity to reach
an agreement to enter Mexico, other
than that of March 1914, now repu-
dated by General Carranza as imme-
date action alone could avail. The
note claims that it was the form and
nature of the agreement that occupied
the attention of Carrange rather than
the capture Of the bandits.
Secretary Lansing then reaches the
reluctant conclusion that the de facto
government did not and does not in
tend or desire that the outlaws should
be captured, destroyed or dispersed by
American troops"
