IMMEDIATE BREAK B[":!!KIA AYERTED PRISONERS RELEASED
STILL WAITING
 FUR RREP[YFROM GEN. CARRANzA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-An im- mediate break between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico has been averted by compli- ance with the American demand for release of twenty-three troopers cap tured in the fight at Carrizal
 Whether a state of war has been prevented or merely postponed no one here would attempt to say tonight. Of- ficial information as to the attitude of General CarranZa was lacking. Until his response to Secretary Lansings note, dispatched Sunday making two peremptory and distinct demands. is received, there will be no decision on whether President Wilson shall lay the crisis before congress.
 News of the release of the pris- oners, received early tonight in press dispatches, brought undisguised relief to high officials. It was accepted as correct, although no announcement had come through official sources. Moreover, it was assumed that Car 1 ranza impressed with the urgency of the situation, had ordered the cap- | tbiSN NAN clli lIlCll SlcI ltu TUT lHG DOT | der without waiting for his announce ment of the action to reach Wash ] ington
 i While it generally is conceded that 1 this move lessens tension and makes ! the crisis less imminent, no one con- versant with the grave problem is los- | ing sight of the fact that the all-im- portant question of Carranza's atti- tude toward the American expedition across the border to protect the ter ritory and citizens of the United States from bandit outrages remains unsettled If the de facto govern ment stands upon the orders to Gen. Trevino to attack Pershing's men
 when they move otherwise than to-
 ward the border, the situation actually is just what it was before, except that
 there is now a possibility of diplomatic
 negotiation that did not exist while
 the Americans were held prisoners in Chihuahua.
 The preparations of the United
 States for war will go steadily for
 ward. There will be no interruption
 of the rush of national guardsmen to the border and General Funston will continue disposition of the forces un- , der his command as though he ex-
 pected an immediate attack from the
 Mexicans
 The fact that Carranza has com
 piled with one of the demands is ac- cepted by the more optimistic officials here as an indication that he is striv- : ing to prevent break. Even though
 he again should attempt to place all
 blame for the Carrizal fight upon the
 American officers and insist upon his
 right to forcibly oppose any except
 northward movements of American !, troops, it is thought that possibly he
 will state his position in such a man
 ner as to make no further discussion
 necessary.
 During any negotiations. however , the United States will insist upon
 freedom of movement of troops ir
 Mexico and any attempt to interfer,
 with them will be met by such force a. (ConfiDl1ed oO Pa pa Tbraal

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, June 2S.-Mili- tary authorities here tonight an- nounced they were convinced that earlier reports that six Mexicans, be- lieved to have been the murderers of Wm. Parker and wife on their ranch southwest of Hachita, had been cap tured and killed, were erroneous. In- vestigation indicated, it was stated, that the report probably was an out growth of a fistic encounter between Americans and MeXicans aboard a train between Douglas and Hachita.
 Twenty three Villistas, taken captive by General Pershing's command since it crossed the border, who. formerly had been held at Namiquipa, have been removed to a point nearer the border for safe keeping, according to reports from the field. It is possible they may be brought here, where a large stockadt | of barbed wire has been erected fol the detention of prisoners.

At 1O:3O, when the fire first showed signs of the effects of the water, the entire front and south sections of the building had been drenched.
 At this time, the fire broke out with renewed vigor in the northeast corner of the structure, having followed a bend in a hall on the second floor. Eating it's way through the ceilings, it reached the roof, where it gave itself away by casting a brilliant light on the entire surroundings. The water was then concentrated on this part of the building, and at precisely Il o'clock. after it had been burning ? hours and five minutes, the fire was officially declared out.
 There was not a casualty. Fortu- nately, it was not necessary to seek anyone in the rooms, for the halls soon became filled with noxious gases. No accidents, even of slight nature, were reported Considering that in the basement of the Talbot Hubbard warehouse, there was an entire carload of cartridges, beside a great store of linseed and other oils, this is little short of amazing.
 The fire was discovered by a party of players in the card room back of the old Commercial bar. Guy Alsar who had rooms in the hotel for the week. was the first to notice the flames spreading in the court. He dashed into the hotel office and

There was no indication at headquar- ters here that Trevino's order for the liberation of the prisoners would in any way effect the movement of na tional guardsmen toward the border.

General Funston has urged the war department to expedite the transfer of recruits for the regular army from eastern recruiting stations to the border.

History Of The Commercial

The Commercial hotel was built in the middle eighties by the present owner, George H. N. Luhrs who for long time before that had owned the ground on which the hotel stands and most of the rest of the real estate thereabouts. It was the first preten- tious hotel in Phoenix. Though it has since been improved and modernized, the last time about five years ago, its outward form has been changed only by the eastern extension on the lower floor of which is occupied by the ware rooms of Talbot X Hubbard.

The first test of the complete new fire equipment demonstrated it's abil- ity to hurl immense quantities of wa ter. Within two minutes after the alarm had been sounded, water was being directed into the building, which to many, seemed doomed. Through the crowds of spectators, who gathered before the trucks from the outlying stations had arrived these monsters came swinging into the fray.
 Each of the four corners of the block in which the Commercial is To- cated, became a station. Three en- zines, including the new gasoline driven pump, were used, each throw ing two streams.
 Not since Phoenix began to build comparatively high buildings, has there been a fire needing high water pressure until that of last night It was early seen that it would be i'm possible to make headway by directing Rose on the lower floors, and lines were carried up the fire escapes and fire ladders to the windows giving into the second and third floor halls. From the tops of the National Bank of Ari- Zona and Ellison buildings, adjoining the hotel on the other side of the alley streams were thrown 200 feet reach. ing the court, where the fire was hot test.
