 Men Are Sent in Rear of
 Relieving Column

San Antonio, June 24.-The force of the Tenth United States cavalry under Capt. Charles T. Boyd succeeded in breaking through the lines of the Mex lean force under Gen. Felix Gomez at Carrizal, according to message to- night from General Pershing to General Funston, but whether any of them were able to make their escape still is un- known.
 Captain Boyds men of Troop c took the ditch in which the front line of Mexican troops were entrenched and charged through into the town of Car rixaI. Troop l., under Capt. Lewis Mercy, charged with Troop c, but were out fianked and forced to take refuge In an adobe house. They at least had n chance to defend themselves from cover but their ultimate fate Is unknown, as Is that of the remnants of Captain Boyd's troops.
 NEWS FROM RELIEF FORCE
 This news came to General Pershing by courier from Mai. John M. Jenkins. commanding a squadron of the relief expedittiOn sent out from COlonia Dub- Ian. Major Jenkins also announced that he had found five members of c troop of the Tenth cavalry and one man of K troop at san Luis ranch. They did not sec the finish of the fight but their stories, according to Major Jenkins' courier, confirmed the stories of the other stragglers that the attack had been opened by the Mexican troops without prOvocatiOn.
 General Pershing said in his report that he did not believe that the 37 men still unaccounted for had been captured. This was taken to mean here that he feared Captain Morey's men had not been able to hold out against the overwhelming odds against them. even from the shelter of the house in which they had taken refuge, and had been killed.
 It is hoped, however. that they still may be holding out and Major Jenkins command Is hastening toward Carri- gal with all speed to their relief. Maj. Robert l.. HOwse with the second squadron of the relief expedition is n day behind Jenkins, and is pressing hard to Overtake and support him.
 SUPPLIES ARE SENT
 General Pershing according to his re- port, has sent provisions and supplies for the wounded to meet Majors Jenkins and Howse on their return march to- ward Colonia Dublan.
 General Pershing reported that the troops under Captain Boyd and Captain Mercy showed the greatest courage and exhibited the most sterling fighting quali- ties.

Surrounding Mexico So That Defenses May Be Crumbled

AWAITING OFFICIAL
 REPORT ON CARRIZAL
Efforts Toward Reinforcement of the Border Guard Pressed-Delay in Getting Details From Carrizal
 Looked on as An Ominous Sign
By HUGH ". ROBERTS


 Washington. June 24.-tspecfai.) After conference with President WiI- son this afternoon Secretaries Baker and Lansing, only to the extent of say- ing that the administrations would con- tInue to await developments, declined to discuss the chaotic Mexican situs- tion with newspaper correspondents. outstsnding tonight, however, arc the follovvinR,
 1. The United States will send an ultimatum to General Carraza to tho effect that unless prisoners taken by Mexicans nt Carrizal are instantly re- leased. the United States will move for ward with it's armed forces.
 2. The United States will send to General Carranza an ultimarum to the effect that unless the de facto Eov- ernment disavows all connection with the Carrizal ambuscade. the United States will move forward with it's , armed forces.
 3. In all probability American gum boats, nt present nearing Mexican wa- | ters. will put into effect a tentative blockade of all Mexican ports.
 AWAITS OFFICIAL INFORMATION | It seems to he the plan of the Presi- dent to await official Information from either commissioned officer who sur- vived the struggle at Carrfsai or frols General Carranza. and at tho same time so to surround with troops and cruisers the nation to the south that when the time for striking arrives the foundation of that republic can be made to crumble by one gigantic blow. l It is learned from every state of ] the union telegrams urging immediate l action for revenge have reached the President today. "CarrixaI is another l ously declares. "and we must instantly strike."
 Formulation of a communication to Carranza conveying the ultimatum | awaited final report from General Pershing on the Carrizal incident. Pen1r 1 ing it's receipt, the war department 1 pressed urgently today it's efforts to strongly reinforce the border patrol and prepare for any eventuality. Full information from American sources as to what happened at Carribzal was still lacking, and the long delay in fnd- ing additional survivors of the fight was regarded as an ominous sign. No Amer ican officer may survive. In that event action by the United States probably would be based on the reports already | received from stragglers.

First Detailed Story of Car rizal Battle Received From Pershing's Headquarters. Captured Trench and Adobe Hut

Field Headquarters. June 24.-Wy Wireless to Columbus. N. M.)-Trapped and fighting against heavy odds, the troops of the Tenth cavalry engaged at Carrixal Wednesday. charged twice di- rectly into the jaws of the ambush which the Mexicans had laid for them. Capt. Charles T. Boyd. the commander. remained in the saddle. leading his ne- gro troopers until they had captured the concealed Mexican machine gun trench. when he fell. mortaIly wounded. | This was the gist of the first detailed account of the engagement from Ameri- can sources which was brought to General Pershing today by Corporal Green of troop, who was at Captain Boyd's side when he fell
 ON BOTH FLANKS
 ] The Americans were fianked on both side by the Carranzistas, who had part | ly surrounded the little command dur ing a confrenece between General Felix Gomez, the Mexican leader, and Captain Boyd. In front was a con cealed Mexican machine gun trench from which stream of bullets unex lpectedly was poured into the American | ranks.
 Corporal Green said that Captain Boyd, although wounded in the arm and shoulder by the first fire, immediately gave the order to charge. and the de- tachment rode at top speed. in hail of bullets, directly at the trench, cap- turing it just as the American leader fell. The Mexicans retreated to cover in a nearby adobe shack.
 l Lieut. Henry Adair assumed com mand and ordered second charge which drove through the shack. scat tering the Mexican command.
 Green said he did not see Lieutenant Adair after this charge and believed that he lost his life in it.
 MOREY ALSO SURROUNDED Meanwhile Capt. Lewis s. Mercy commanding K troop, which was also partly surrounded during the barley occupied another adobe house with his men, from which he engaged a second | detachment of the Mexicans. While il is assumed here that Captain Morey was wounded in the fight, neither Cor lporal Green nor any of the other sur ,vivors reaching here knew anything of the outcome of that part of the fight l It is believed, however. that he may have collected the shattered remnants | of the American command and is bring ling them slowly, and through obstacles to General Pershing's. lines.

 TARIFF WILL NOT BE ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN Underwood Differs From
 Opinion of Clark IS WILLING TO FIGHT Thinks Democratic Implied Apology for fhn Toriff Troxrad;orf Errr, a
IS WILLING TO FIGHT
Thinks Democratic Implied Apology for the Tariff Inexpedient From a Political Point of View-Will
 Not Oppose Commission
By HUGH w. ROBERTS


 Washington. June 24.-(Specfal.) Senator Underwood. author of the tar if bill which the democrats in con- ventiOn indOrsed and William Jen- est economic measure written in 50 years. is of the opinion that the tariff, as an issue. will be minimized if not eliminated in the ensuing campaign.
 In this position, the senator differs with Champ Clark, speaker of the House. The Missourian, in an interview today, declared that the republicans would "sputter' in regard to the fore eign and Mexican policies of the ad- ministration. but, finding in the long run that they could thereby make very little profit, they would resort again to the old issue-that of the tariff. Senator Underwood said today that while he did not view the situation as did the speak CT, he would be willing to fight the battle out on the merits of tariff for revenue only, as against the merits of a tariff for protection only.
 In the Underwood interview two note worthy and significant facts stand out:
 THE TARIFF ABANDONED
 l. His opinion that the democrats "sidestepped" and in a measure "apol- ogized" for the tariff-a course which, in his opinion, was from political standpoint, inexpedient.
 ?. While he opposes the idea of a tariff commission and had planned not only to oppose it, but vigorously in a prepared speech to combat it's success full passage, he will. because the dem ocrats in convention formally declared for tariff commission, live up to his reputation for being good party soldier and during the congressional struggle assume a quiescent attitude.
 'No," said the senator this morning, T do not believe the tariff will be the issue in the campaign. Both parties in their platforms declare for tariff com mission, expressing thereby their con- victions that all economic problems can justment of differences without re- course to law. While in my opinion. tariff commission can serve no good purpose, and will fail to accomplish that which is desired-namely. the elim- ination of the quadrennial disturbance of business-b parties have an- nounced themselves partisans of tho favored idea. Thus the tariff is removed for the time being as an issue.

 JUDGES ARE RAPED
JUDGES ARE RAPED
Jurors Urge That Another Special Grand Jury Be Immediately Im- paneled and Continue Probe Which They Started-Legal Auth0ri-
 ties Go to Montgomery
By ROY o,NEAL

Huntsville, June 24. - Especially
 Eight true bills were returned by the special grand jury of this circuit court | today, after it had spent week investi-
 gating the murder of Probate Judge w. T. Lawler, and Incidentally a rather
 stated that indictments for murder in the first degree were returned against Charles M. Nails, former circuit court
 clerk. and Percy Brooks, owner of the ferry at Whitesburg, both of whom are in jail in Birmingham.
 Court officials are unable to answer
 any questions as to David D. Overton, for whom a reward of 5000 has been offered, but he is supposed to have been indicted for murder in the first de- | gree also.
 l Scouting parties of deputies and de- | tectives are securing the country for Overton and there is little doubt that the grand jury indicted him as the prin- cipa1 in the case. The grand jury reports
 that an unprecedented condition of law lessness has prevailed in Madison coun- |
 in the murder of the probate judge.
 I The blame is not placed on any one department of law enforcement. but il lis charged that taxicabs owned by the chief of police of Huntsville have beer | used in hauling liquor to the bootleg gers up from steamboats on the Ten nessee river. The report also takes a rap at social clubs. several of which are reported to be selling liquor illegal 1 ly.
 The text of the report signed by
 the largest transfer companies in Hunts vile, reads as follows:
 REPORT TO FOSTER Hon. A. B. Foster. Judge: We. the
 grand jury, specially empannelled. beg leave to make our final report. We have 1 examined nine cases, 80 witnesses and returned eight true bills.
 This grand jury has not attempted 1 to go into a general investigation of violations of the law in the county for the reason that we have been em- panelled for one specific purpose, and other Investigations that we have made have been merely incidental to the main purpose of our assembling, yet the evil dence that comes to us makes 1t very clear that there has existed an unpre- cedented lawless condition in the coun- ty for number of years, which culmi- mated in the horrible tragedy which brought us together.
 LAXITY BY OFFICERS The blame for this condition cannot ] be placed on any one department of the law, but there has been a general

BATTLE MAY BE ON NOW

Fl Paso Tex.,, June 24.-Apprehension that battles may be in progress tonight between American and Mexican troops in at least two places in northern Chihuahua gripped the border tonight
 American columns were moving in the direction of San Antonio and Ojo Caliente. while General Trevino, commanding the Carranza army of the north, has ordered troops at adjacent points to attack them Eff they do not retreat immediately.
 While information concerning these movements reached here today from Chi huahua City, additional advices indicated that General Trevino's scouts reported the approach of the Americans yesterday, and that his. orders were issued im- mediately. With a lapse of "A hours 1t is assumed here that it is possible the op- posing forces may have met.
 Little was known here today as to the strength of the American columns on their mission, but it was assumed that one of them might be a detachment sent by General PerShlng to rescue SurVlVors of the Tenth cavalry engaged at Car. rizal.
 MAY BE RESCUE COLUMN
 Army officers here also pointed out that the column headed for Ojo Caliente, about 30 miles southwest of Carrizal, probably is composed of the troops sur viving the engagement there and the two squadrons of tAe Eleventh cavalry sent to reinforce them Mexican authorities content themselves with asserting that the strength of the commands dispatched to meet them is adequate.
 It is believed here that the American command advancing in the direction of San Antonio 50 miles southeast of Nami- ouipa, may be in pursuit of bandits
 While the lack of definite information begets apprehension. military men point out that General Pershing, with General Trevino's threats and the Carrizal fight before him, undoubtedly has taken steps to protect attachments he has sent out and that preparations have been made to
