RAILWAY CONFAb
is At DEADLOCK
Negotiations in New York Conference
Halted by Counter of Officials
Split Threatens.

New York, June 13.-The conference
oil railroad managers and officials OF
railroad mems unions, representing
about $4,000 employees, looked peril
ously near a deadlock today This was
the result of the application Of what
the men called yard stick" to their
demands. In this the railway officials
declared that time paid for under one
rule is not to be paid for under an
other rule, or rules"
This proposal was regarded 50 IN
favorably by officials of the unions that
A. B. Garretson, president of the Order
of Railway Conductors, the chief
spokesman for the employees, said: 1T
does not look at all promising for II
continuation Of this conference"
Mr.. Garretson said he interpreted
that yard stick to be denial of the
mems requests for an eight-hour day
and time and half for overtime.
Elisha Lee, chairman of the confer
ence committee of railway managers
denied that the railroads have rejected
the demands of the workers, and was
ready today to go on giving answers
TO the 105 questions submitted by Mr.
Garretson.

tOFOrce
on Mexican
Border Line

Washington, June 13.-Fifteen hun
dred additional troops were being mob
ilized today for Mexican service in view
of continued reports of anti-American
demonstrations in Mexico and bandit
raids on Texas territory.
Ten companies Of coast artillery
drawn from Notifications between
Portland, Maine and Sandy Hook, and
battalion of engineers from the bar
racks IN Washington, were under or
ders to join General Pershing's army
and assist in guarding against further
border raids in the region near Laredo.
Assistant Secretary of War Ingram
in the absence of Secretary Baker,
faced situation which officials admit
ted appeared serious. They feared not
only continuance of bandit raids but
the effect which the killing of three of
the bandits, who raided the Coleman
ranch near Laredo Sunday, might have
on the Mexican people. Equally puz-
zling to officials was the question CT
what purpose is the basis for the anti
American demonstrations and the re-
newed border attacks.
Reports persisted that certain Car
rama officers have agreed not to inter
fere with the Mexican general, De La
Rosa in his threatened attack on Dor
der communities. In this connection
was cited the report that one of the
bandits killed after the Sunday raid
had been identified as Lieutenant Col
onel Villareal, a Carranza officer. Ever
civil authorities of northern Mexican
states are said to be relaxing their
strict allegiance to the Carranza gov.
eminent and issuing orders independ
ent of the Mexico City officials.

|. ORPET'S DEFENSE

tinues Testimony On Stand
Detrimental to State.

Davis testified today that Marion Lam
bert, for the alleged murder of whom
viii H. Orpet is on trial here, threat
ened to commit suicide if it proved
that Orpet had transferred his affec-
tons to another.
The school girl witness, called by
the state, continued to testify for the
defense. She completely repudiated
previous stories of the cheerfulness OF
Marion, her chum, and told of fits OF
depression over fear that she was in
a delicate condition and later when
this fear became less acute after Jan
20, over the reported detection of Or
pet. 1t was Dorothy Mason who told
Marion that Orpet, a student at the
University of Wisconsin. was engaged
to marry Celestia Youker, according
to the witness.
~ wonder why she told me that,
Marion said to me" related Miss Davis
Maybe it was just TO make me fee
bad
so we framed up letter to Orpet
but as no reply was received Marion
began to think that Miss Mason haC
told the truth. 1t was on Feb. wher
Marion had her 18th birthday party
that she threatened to kill herself. She
was cheerful. very, very cheerful dur
ing the party but when she was alon,
with me, she cried.
LIT is seeing all those girls in there
so happy that makes me think o
what's on my own mind she told me
Honest if Billie has thrown me owe
I'll kill myself
Il laughed at her Just to try to &c
her out of that mood and then sh,
laughed too. / said you won't let M
tell everything to your mother now

death? She laughed and said Well,
guess not. There will be gossip any
way and we might as well give then
something 10 gossip about"
