Ell PASO, Texas. May 3-The
American expedition will remain in
Mexico without interference from
Carranzista troops, according to an
agreement reached early today by
Chief Of Staff Scott and Carranza
War Minister Obregon, after con-
ference lasting nearly twelve hours
Obregon has granted permission
for the expedition to have full use
Of the Mexico Northwestern railway
in transporting supplies and men and
has promised to cooperate 'as fully
as possible" with General Pershing' g
forces, it was stated on reliable
authority. In return, Scott was un-
officially reported to have set a sixty
day limit on the presence of the
Americans in Chihuahua. Scott's con-
cessions, II any were made, were not
definitely known, however, and 1t was
believed the war department would
give out the program agreed upon in
short time.
The conclusions will not become
effective, according to the understand
ing around the conference room, un-
til ratified by the respective govern
ments conferees. Though Obregon
was clothed with greater authority
than Scott, he will submit his report
to General Carranza, while Scott's
part of the agreement will be sub
ject to ratification by the Washing
ton administration
The agreement was reached shortly
before midnight, after a conference
beginning at noon yesterday in the
Hotel Del NOrte.
Obregon and Scott emerged srail-
ing from the conference room at the
conclusion of the meeting, Doth re-
fusing to indicate the outcome of
the session. In a statement earlier
in the evening they had stated joint
ly that negotiations now in progress
will probably result to the satisfac-
tion of all concerned"
General Funston was eliminated
from the meeting. Iris was obvious,
though no official intimation of OBJ
lection to his presence was given
out. Funston strolled about the lobby
of the hotel during the waning hours
Of the meeting and his absence from
the conference was pointed to as In
dication that the negotiations had
been robbed Of their military aspect.
Funston is persistenty reported to
nave ClaSneu Will oDItSou uuiAAS tho
first conference held in Juarez over
the war minister's contention for the
expedition's withdrawal and the Car
ranzis tas ability to control the stu
alton.
Emerging from the conference,
Scott went at once to his private car,
standing on a siding here and dis
patched long telegraphic report of
tho deliberations to washington,
using a special wire from the car.

INCOME TAX Is. SMALLER
THAN 1T SHOULD BE

the larger incomes, the total taxes to
be collected would be 1891, $780, 900.
In introducing the resolution Rep
resentative Keating said: 81 do this
largely because Of my faith in Basil
M. Manly Through his work with
the industrial relations commission
Manly has demonstrated he is an
economist Of the first rank, and an
Investigator who, in his researches
would display neither fear nor favor.
Manly declares that approximate
ly $32O, 900, ,0G0 is being annually
withheld from the treasury Of the
United States by income tax frauds
and evasions.' You may discount
Manly's figure by fifty per cent and
still have a sum which makes all
other frauds which have heretofore
been perpetrated on the federal gov
ernment seem insignificant.
Three hundred and twenty million
dollars represents the total income
of 100000 American workingmen who
have labored every day of the year"
The nations pension rolls is enor-
nous but with the sum which Basil
Manly says the millionaires Of this
country steal from the nation every
year. would pay it twice over.
with this sum you could take all
the children out of industry and place
them In schools, and give the nation
a virile manhood and womanhood
which would render it invulnerable
to the attacks of it's enemies.
''If you wish to use the money to
destroy your fellow beings, you could
construct twenty super-dreadnought
every year with the amount Manly
says millionaires are stealing from
Uncle Sam.
"The American people are entitled
to know the facts about this charge
and therefore / have introduced
resolution calling the treasury for its
side of the case. 1 will ask the COM
mittee on expenditures in the case
to hold public hearings on the mat
ter. In that way Manly will have his
day in court and II his statements
are questioned, the other side VIII
be given ample opportunity to De
heard"

Reply From Germany Will Not

this government is unlikely to COM

While German officials have been
drafting their reply to President Viii

commanders have refrained from

This is the Interpretation placed by
officials on the cessation Of subma-
rine attacks in the last few days.
1t is believed orders were started
to U boat commanders Immediately
upon receipt of President Wilson's 8
last note There was a noticeable
decrease in the number of attacks at

The delay in the chancellor's return
from the conference with the kaiser
has held up the sending of the reply
indefinitely. 1t is the general belief,
howe-er, that the reply will go for

Won Bethmann-Hollweg's arrival here.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Hope Of
definitely disposing of the submarine
issue with Germany before Sunday
anniversary of the Lusitania sinking
today when unofficial dis
patches from Berlin said the German
reply to President Wilson's last note
was not yet ready for the cables.
In order to reach Washington by
Saturday the note should be on the
cables by tomorrow night. While this
is entirely possible, it is regarded as
highly improbable in the light Of dis
patch here today.
One thing seems certain-that when
the note finally is started across the
Atlantic, it will have the approval of
all the leading German heads, from
the kaiser himself to those represent
ing the people in the reichstag.
There is no disposition as yet, so
high officials say, to set time limit
on Germany's answer.
So long as her officials arc obvi-
ously seeking to solve the dt0cuify,

CONFERENCE HAS HARMONIOUS ENDING
Chief of Staff Scott and War Minister Obregon
Come to Satisfactory Agreement
at Midnight.

Whether there win be additional con-
ferences was not definitely known,
but both war leaders were expected
to remain at the border for the time
being Scott indicated the Washing
ton attitude will decide whether an
other m Getting will be necessary. Obre-
gon was silent on this roint.
Indications that tho conference was
bounding toward an amicable adjust
ment of international question were
seen early in the evening when Obre-
gon came out of the meeting to talk
with Adolfo De La Huerta, recently
appointed civil governor Of Sonora.
The pair withdrew and held a whis-
pered consultation for several min
utes. When Obregon returned to the
dictated a message to General Car
ranza-. saying:
My information is that the nego-
tiations now in progress will termin-
ate to complete satisfaction Of all
concerned"
Arthur j. McQuatters. president of
the Mexican Mine Owners associa-
tion, arranged the conference. He is
head of the company owning large
mines at Parral which were looted
recently by Mexican civilians, follow
ing the fight between expeditionary
troops and Carranzistas. McQuat-
ters employs Scott's son and Is per-
sonally well known to Obregon. The
Carranza government las been
anxious to have mining operations re-
sumed because the natives have
grown restless and turned to maraud-
ing through lack of employment. The
American owners, at the same time,
were anxious to renew work, but
under existing internal Mexican con-
ditions hesitated to expend large
sums in rehabilitating their plants.
McQuatters invited Obregon and
Scott to luncheon at the Del Norte,
ostensibly to discuss the Mexicans'
tendency to blame the defacto gov
eminent for their lack Of employ
ment. Obregon came openly, but
Scott slipped in to the hotel in an
effort to avoid being seen while his
secretary insisted for an hour that
the chief of staff was still in his pri-
vate car.
Obregon has impressed Americans
here as the strongest Mexican ever
seen on the border. AS a result of
his handling of the negotiations with
Scott, he was looked upon today as
the coming strong man Of Mexico
1t was stated positively there win
be no conference today. Scott await
ed word from Washington giving Of
ficia approval Of the plan as he out
lined it in his dispatches, had no
authority to progress further with the
arrangements. The state department
