Arredondo Bringing No
Ultimatum From Mexico
on Troop Withdrawal

San Antonio, Texas. Oct. 11.-Eliseo
Arredondo brings no ultimatum from
General Carranza to the United States
and his trip to Mexico City from
which he is just returning. will have
no important bearing on the delibera-
tions of the American Mexican COM
mission at Atlantic City, the Mexican
ambassador designate said here last
night. Mr.. Arredondo's statement
was elected by questions relating to
rumors that the de facto government
of Mexico would demand that the
United States withdraw the punitive
expedition into Mexico or take the
consequences. His trip to Mexico City
the ambassador said, was more in the
nature of vacation.
Arredondo will leave to-day for
Washington. He was Joined here by
Colonel Juan Barranga, Carranza' s
chief of staff, who authorized the
statement that an agreement to with
draw American troops from Mexico
must be signed before any other ques-
tions affecting Mexico can be success
fully considered by the commission
now sitting at Atlantic City.

Debate on Serious Problems
Started by Parliament After
New Credit Is Asked

London, Oct. II. The House of
Commons to-day began consideration
Of the serious problems resulting from
the war with the introduction by Pre-
mier Asquith of new vote of credit
for 300.000,000 pounds. Under the
procedure of Parliament this step per-
mits members to discuss any subject.
It was expected the debate would COW
er q wide range and would include, in
addition to financial questions, the
government of Ireland which Nation
alists who have definitely taken sides
against the government will bring up;
the suggestion of extension of con-
scription to Ireland, which Unionists
are urging, but which 1t Is understood
the government opposes, and the OBJ
tanning of more men from England,
Scotland and Wales by closer scru-
tiny of men under 40 years of age who
have been thus far exempted from
military service. Extension of the age
limit OF DO is not expected at present.
The vote of credit is the thirteenth
since the outbreak of the war, bring
ing up the total to $3.132, 900, 900
pounds. AS to-day's credit vote is ex-
pected to last only until the end of
the present year another request will
be necessary before March, but in
view of the statement made yesterday
by the chancellor of the excheuuer,
Reginald McKenna, there probably
will be no fresh public borrowing in
the shape of q long term war loan at
present as the country's needs are be-
ing met by revenue from taxes and by
short dated issues.

the robbers "red-handed"; that is, he
desires that they be caught just about
the time they are half way in and half
way out of window, and 1t is a pretty
sure bet that no member of the bureau
will catch any one of the burglars with
his feet off the ground.
It's true, too, that the patrolmen in
plain clothes have been assigned to
patrol various parts of the city at
night, but their efforts at catching the
thieves have also been fruitless. These
men are not detectives. They were
employed as patrolmen, and when they
are called in to assist the Detective
Bureau the inadequacy of the latter is
practically admitted.
Refuse Outside Aid
Assistance from outside of Harris
burg which would not cost the city a
penny has been suggested to Windsor,
but he has not made move OBSCURE
the assistance of men who are really
trained in running down criminals.
These men are unknown in Harrisburg
and it's a ten to \one shot that they

Of cooperation in the department was
displayed one day last week. The night
previous an aged man, whose charac-
ter is vouched for by prominent per-
sons, was arrested in the vicinity of
the State Arsenal as q robbery suspect.
At the hearing the day following AL

the defendant, heard his story and
then discharged him. as the old mans

neighbor who was to accompany him
to his home in Edgemont.
The next prisoner was a colored
man of about twenty-five or twenty
three, arrested the night before by
Roundsman Mccain and Patrolman
Cope. During the previous night q
report was made that some men were
acting suspiciously about the home of
David Goldberg, interpreter for the
pennsylvania Railroad Company in
this city. McCann and Cope were de-
tailed to the scene, but when they got
there the men had disappeared. How
ever, persons across the street pointed
out colored man standing farther up
the street as one of those who were at
Goidberg's home. The man was ar
rested. AT the hearing little was said
about attempted robbery, although
Goldberg appeared at the hearing and
gave Alderman Deshong q screwdriver
which was picked up front of his home
Just after the men had disappeared
the night before. Deshong examined
the article, so did several others in the
room, including one of the detectives.
The defendant said the screwdriver
was not his, so Deshong permitted him
to go after fining him $40 on a charge
OF disorderly practice. The police and
detectives have been searching for a
screwdriver for weeks, as most of the
houses entered have been entered with

 HIRE IN 3U YEARS

c. w. Winningham, S1 years old, a lifetime resident of Damascus, 25 miles north of Conway, is here today for the first time in 30 years. The last visit to this city was in 1886, when he brought load of apples and marketed them. In company with J. R. Pierce, MT. Winningham motored to Conway today, and was taken for a drive over the city. He expressed astonishment at the growth of the town since his last visit. The bad condition of the roads until several years ago was given by the aged Faulkner county resident as the cause of his failure to come to Conway. He has been trading at Morrilton and Plumerville, but from now on he ex- poets to make Conway his trading point.

 In the course of his conversation he suggested that he make out his application and turn it over to MT. Russell as the time was limited. l told him if this was done that it would be necessary for me to call MT. Rus sell in regard to the matter. It is plainly written in the blank used by the association that no application shall be considered unless made out on our regular form and then ap- proved by the president. For this reason l would have had to call Mr. Russell This is all there is to the 1 Mr. Russell affair.
 If MT. Estes was really in earnest about joining the association, he should have taken up the matter in time so that it could have been set tied in writing. There was no way for him to misunderstood or misinter- pret my letter. It is poor policy to wait until the last moment, and then i try to rush matters by telephone.

the Normal withdrew last year be- cause permission was not given 1t to play Ouachita College. The same con ditions exist this year. If the Nor
 nal withdrew last year because it's every desire was not granted; Ii It was not willing to be governed by the same rules last year that the other colleges and schools submitted to, does it not seem that the president of the association has the right to ask of the Normal what it expects to do if admitted? The Normal has the
 that it had last year. If these off cials have had change of heart in regard to the constitution and bylaws
 of the Athletic Association, l have seen no evidence of it.
 It is true MT. Estes said that he would adhere strictly to the rules of the A. A. A. as long as he remained member of the organization, but that is the crux of the whole matter.
 MT. Estes would not say whether he would abide by these rules even until
 Thanksgiving. It would have been an easy matter for him to withdraw be- fore the Arkansas game. Judging from his actions last year when he did not get what he asked for, there is little doubt as to what he would have done. If he really wanted to become member of the Athletic As sociation, il he really wanted to carry out it's laws and regulations in every respect, he could have joined. l put nothing in his way. Just simply ask ed that the Normal agree not to play Arkansas College. The Normal re- fused to join, when asked to make this simple agreement.
 The fact of the business is, if the reports of the papers are true, the Normal is already member of an- other association. When asked about his membership in the new associa- tion, whose constitution and bylaws, according to newspaper reports, are being written, MT. Estes said that there was nothing to keep him from coming into the A. A. A. Judging from the reports at the time mention was made of this new association, one would think that the rules of the A. A. A. were so odious to those who were taking part in this new organi- zation that it would be an impossi- bility for them to submit to them. Knowing that the paper reported MT. Estes to be one of the leaders in this movement, it seemed to me that the only thing to do was to find out if matter of joining.
 Not knowing whether Mr. Estes knew of the efforts that were being made by President Workman of Hen derson- Brown to have the constitution so changed that the colleges would have complete control of college af- fairs, l suggested that he get the ath- letic committees of the Normal and Hendrix, together with the presidents of the two institutions, and go over these suggested changes and see whether he was willing to join the association under the proposed chang es. This was the only reason that l suggested this conference. made no such suggestion in my letter to him, which was on it's way when he called me over the telephone. He knows very we'll that this suggestion was made to enlighten him as to the pro- posed changes. It seemed to me that this was the only sensible way to do.
