FAIL TO AGREE At
. FIRST CONFERENCE
MExfcANs DEMAND IMMEDIATE
WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS IN
PURSUIT OF VILLA.
Representatives Of Mexican Govern.
ment Told That II Evacuation 10
insisted Upon the Conference
Would Go Into Deadlock.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Two conflicting
propositions developed Immediately
after the beginning in the Mexican
customs house in Juarez late Satur-
| day OF the conference to decide the
future disposition of the American ex.
peditionary forces In Mexico.
They are understood temporarily to
have increased the gravity OF the ne.
gotiationa
The initial meeting was held behind
closed doors In the big green-tinted
room which Francisco Villa used as his
council chamber when he dominated
northern Mexico and Juarez was his
headquarters. Generals Hugh l.. Scott
and frederick Funston represented
the United States. The Mexican con.
ferees were General Alvaro Obregon,
Mexican minister OF war, and General
Jacinto Trevino, military commander
of the northeast district of Mexico.
The progress of the negotiations was
not divulged, but from an authorita-
tive source two things were learned
First, that the Mexican representa-
tives reiterated the wish expressed in
General Carranza's recent note to the
Washington government that the
American troops should be withdrawn
from Mexican soil at an early date.
Second, that they were informed by
the American officials that the latter
were not empowered to discuss the
withdrawal Of General Pershing's col
umns.
1t is understood the American repre-
sentatives told the Mexican conferees
that If the de facto government in
sisted on an American evacuation the
conference would go into a deadlock
and the whole matter would revert to
diplomatic discussion between Wash
ington and Mexico City.
The Mexicans further were informed
that the purpose of the present con-
ference. so far as the United States
is concerned. is the development of
specific plan for the cooperation OF the
American and de facto armies in wip.
ing out the bandit groups that have
spilled so much blood along the border
and have repeatedly taken American
life in the interior of Mexico.
1t is understood that General Obre-
gon, the Mexican minister of war, prior
to the conference. openly expressed
disinclination to discuss any other sub
ject than withdrawal and that he car
ried this attitude into the initial meet
ing.

PREPARE SEEDED FOR OATS
Not Generally Necessary to Plow
Land Before Sowing-Disk Har-
row Is Recommended.

Oats usually follow a cultivated
crop such as corn or potatoes; hence
II is not generally necessary to plow
the land before sowing. Oats do we'll
on fall-plowed land, but if the land
has not been plowed in the fall better
yields are usually produced from
sowing in a seeded made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring blowing. Early seeding for
oats isvery desirable AS a good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
pillow on land that was in a cultivated
crop last year. the saving in time is
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the spike-toothed har-
row will put clean land in good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best in a seeded that
has 2 or inches of loose surface soil.
but which is firm below that depth,
This is another reason why disking Is
to be preferred to spring blowing for

Mormon COLONY Homes pestroyed.

Ell Paso, Texas.-The report is cur
rent here that Colonia Chuichupa, in
the state of chihuahua. Mexico,
owned by American Mormons. has
been completely destroyed by Mexican
bandits. A man employed by S. H.
veater. one of the colonists. to watch
his property, reached here with the re-
port that the entire colony had been
burned by the Mexicans. two or three
days after the American troops
reached the vicinity OF MADEIRA, which
is southeast of the colony.

OUT OF TRENCHES
FRENCH CLAIM SUCCESS IN IN
PANTRY CHARGES IN THE
vERDuN REGION.
The Claim is Made by Germans That
Attacks by Frenchmen Were Re.
pulsed.--victory In Air Fight
Claimed by French.

London.-The French and Germans
on several sectors to the northwest
of verdun have been engaged in rela-
lively heavy infantry fighting, with the
results evidently in favor OF the
French To the north of LIE Mort
Homme the French seized a German
trench and captured fifty-three prison
ers and to the north of Cumleres made
similar gain in which thirty prison
ers we're taken. Berlin says that strong
French attacks from lie Mort Homme
to the northern part of the Caurettes
wood were repulsed.
On the remainder of the French
front, except from small infantry at
tacks. notably in the Vosges noun
tains and in the region of Lassigny,
commandments alone have been in
progress.
In fights in the air the French claim
that their aviators have brought down
four Fokkers and four other German
aeroplanes, while Berlin says that in
fight over Verdun French ma
chine was shot down.
Except for an Austrian attack on
the Col Di Lana, which the Italians re-
pulsed, only commandments have taken
place on the Austro-Italian line.
In the region south of Lake Narocz,
further success for the German arms
against the Russians in the capture of
four guns, one machine gun and eighty.
three prisoners is reported by Berlin.

INDIANS CAPTURE FISHERMEN.

Objected to Fishing on Reservation
and Took Law in Their Own Hands.
Bellingham. Wash.--A band of
armed Lummi Indians captured eight
Austrian fishermen Sunday in Hales
pass. Puget sound, and took them to
Lummi island. where the fishermen
were held as prisoners. The Indians
seized the fishermen's boat and their
nets. Because the land on which the
prisoners are held is part of the Lum-
mi Indian reservation and under fed
eral jurisdiction, the sheriff said he
was unable to rescue the prisoners.
