IS CARRANzA ABLE

MAIN QUESTION
Commissioners Reach Vital
Point In Their Joint
Negotiations

Mexicans Turn to Small Bank
ers For Loan Celebrating
the Day
BY Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New London, Conn, Sept. 16.-Amer-
ican-Mexican negotiations reached a
delicate point today. Whether Carran-
"a is willing. and more Importantly,
able to patrol the border is vital ques-
tion upon negotiations are now turn
ing.
AS far as surface indications go, the
first chief probably will take over the
duties which have devolved upon Gen
eral Pershing's Column. But the fact
that his representatives have not com.
mitted themselves to such scheme
make negotiations at this stage ex'
tremely important and delicate.
As matters now stand the American
commissioners want Carran2a to dc
most of the patrolling through a sort
of Mexican police.
This,varies from the original PROPOSE
tion in that what the Mexicans then
proposed, called for Joint internation'
al police. Now, the Americans want
Carranza to establish strong force
Today in the absence of the Mexican
commissioners the American conferees
indicated their belief that, there is nC
hitch in sight.
The Mexicans have despaired of get
ting loan from Wall street interests
-and have decidedpto turn to the small
bankers for their loan.

England FOrbids Importation
Of 100 Articles by

Washington, Sept. 16.--The British
blockade has again become matter Of
first diplomatic Importance in the Uni
ted States state department.
New orders by the British govern
ment which, so far as considered here,
are viewed as encroachments on the
rights of neutrals, threaten to fan into
live issue the smouldering dissatis-
faction this country has felt over the
whole blockade question. One effect
of the new orders, it is agreed, will be
a more insistent demand that this gov
ernment make use of the retaliafory
powers voted by the recent congress.
The action of Great Britain in plac-
ing an importation embargo until Oc-
tober |, ON more than 100 new articles
to the Scandinavian countries and the
Netherlands from all countries, includ-
ing the United States, is arousing most
resentment. Even holders of unexpired
licenses to export the articles listed In
the new embargo have been directed
to communicate with the war trade de-
partment if the British foreign office
before making further shipments. The
allies claim the countries embargoed
already have received a supply of the
excluded articles exceeding the normal
domestic demand.

dent with retaliatory powers through
the shipping and revenue bills, the pres.

its notes on the blockade, the mails and
the blacklist has greatly increased.
Exporters and importers whose busi-
ness has been damaged both with South
America and Europe in the trade re-
strictions of the allies have become
more impatient for action than ever.
now that they see chance to use sim
liar methods against their alleged OPP
pressors.
The state department is also concern

protesting to Sweden against her ac-
tion in distinguishing between com
merce and naval submarines, it was
learned This stand is identical with
that taken by the department, both
when the Deutschland cleared from Bal.

That the note to Sweden is a strong
one, has created an unfavornble impress

confident belief in the justice of the
American position.

Cousins and his officers today went

Notwithstanding heavy volume of

session, the movement of prices in the
best part of two hours Of trading was
in the direction of higher levels, reac-
tions as rule being small and in no
way suggesting q movement on the part
of substantial holders to turn over their
accounts in the expectation of the devel-
opment of sustained cheaper quotations.
To great extent speculative interest
centered upon the railroad shares, many
of which were brought in volume, es-
pecially Union Pacific, st. Paul, Read.
ing, New York Central and Erie.
Union Pacific sold at n new high rec
ord for the year, the movement accom-
panying reports of buying by large OPP
orators who believed the time ripe for
wider operation not only in this par
ticular issue but in all departments of
the railroad list.
In certain parts of the market evil
dence of bear pressure was presented,
as for instance in some of the cOppers
and war shares which had been strong
features in preceding days of the week,
while there was heavy selling also in
United States Steel, the demand for

important reaction from its early rec.
ord but subsequently carried it to a

Leland G. Hendricks, managing editor
of the Salem Statesman, and son of Mr..
and Mrs. r. j. Hendricks, disappeared
yesterday afternoon about $3.50 o 'clock
while bathing at the Denison bath house
and is believed to have been drowned.
He was last seen by Enrol Byrnes and
Oscar Gingrich about $3.50 o'clock on
the floating platform dressed in his
bathing suit. His long absence was
noted about s O'Clock ana upon inves.
tigation, his clothes were found in one
of the dressing rooms at the bath house.
1t had been Mr. Hendricks custom
for some time to take swim before be-
ginning his work in the evening and up
on leaving the office in the afternoon
stated that he was going to take a
bath and also, had date to keep. The
latter statement gave the vague hope
that he had taken canoe or launch up
or down the river, but this hope vanish
ed as the hours wore on and no encour-
aging word was received.
Although an all night search was
made and parties were out dragging
the river, his body had not at late
hour this afternoon been found.
The river close to the bath house was
searched with graphing hooks and sew
eral boats searched up and down the
stream in the hope of finding him on
one of the islands or opposite shore.
This morning one of the harbor police
men of Portland and professional
grappler arrived with his grapplins
hooks and began work at once in search
of the body. This afternoon the Deni
son bath house and tank were removed
in the hope of finding the body under
the floating platform. Divers have al
so been searching in the vicinity Of the
boat house, but up to a late hour thi.
afternoon the body had not been recov
cred.
Leland Hendricks was bright young
newspaper man of much promise, 0
graduate of the State university ant
school of journalism, where he was
very popular aud won many honors
from his fellow students. His death ha:
cast a gloom over large circle Of
