New York Central
Preparing for Strike

New York, May 3.-0ne thousand
strikebreakers have been herded here
for shipment along the New York Cen
tral and Nickel Plate railroads in an
tieipation Of a strike, according to re-
ports today. Agency advertisements
call for signal men, maintenance and
tclegraphers. President Perham of the
telegraphers said that If the demands
of telegraphers and signal men Of the
New York Central were not met, a
strike would be called Immediately.
The New York Central railroad adj
mitted today that it was gathering and
shipping strikebreakers in anticipation
Of labor troubles. A. T, Hardin, presi-
dent of the operating department, said
officially that he did not believe the
threatened strike would interfere with
the train service. He declared the road

present organization wIiirR is linked up
with several other crafts. This makes
strike practically certain.
Tieup Of freight on the waterfront
continues, due to the failure to settle

not likely that America will complain.

Stocks again were dominated by un-
certainties in the international situa-
tions and moved irregularly following
halting opening, distinguished by a
sharp advance in Mexican petroleum

a somewhat better aspect Of affairs in
Mexico Prices were generally improved
But the betterment was confined to
specialties and did not proceed far ex-
cept in the case Of industrial alcohol,
distillers securities and few issues of

War stocks were inclined to heayiness
and standard railways and leading in
dustrials were largely neglected, dis
closing no remaining traces Of recent
professional bidding up.
After the first hour and half the
market lapsed into dullness which was
accentuated in the afternoon, probably
due TO the announcement that Germany
had at last drafted a reply to he Amer.

This Sum Represents the

LabOrers for One Year

Adoo is directed to furnish congress
with a statement showing whether

held from the treasury by income tax
frauds and evasions, in resolution
offered IL the house today by Repre-
sentative Keating, of Colorado. Me.
Adoo is asked why he has not recon-
mended to the president that all income
tax returns be made public in order
that fraud may be checked Heating
said he based his resolution on the
charges made by Basil NJ Manly, chief
investigator of the industrial relations
commission.
Manly, in published statement, de-
clared that more than $400,000 900
should be received annually instead of
the $S0,000,000 actually collected. The
resolution asked whether:
Fifteen billion dollars was paid in
wages and salaries during 1914, $780,.
100000 being paid to them receiving
$4,000 year or more; whether more
than $3O0,O0O,OOO yearly above the
$4,000 exemption is received as income
from fees; whether $20,000,00O is re-
eeived as income from ownership of
property and the conduct of business
above the $4,000 exemption; whether in
comes received by persons subject to
income tax total $20,o06000 and wheth-
er, with all proper deductions, the
figure should be $l2,o00,00O.
In introducing his resolution, Keat-

viii Make Rush Campaign.
By Carl D. Groat.

Washington, May 3.-An early termi.
nation of the campaign in Mexico is
what the Scott-Obregon agreement
means, in the view of authorities here
today. Honpsred heretofore by the
necessity of maintaining strong com
munication lines in almost parallel
rows, General Pershing has not had the
free rein desired. The use Of the Mex
lean Northwestern railroad, granted by
War Minister Obregon, means that it
will be utilized by troops in trailing
Villistas. The only thing remaining is
Carranza's o. k. This, it is believed, 4,
will be given.
The agreement for an established
base at Colonia Dublan means that the
present base will be moved northward
eight miles. In effect, this agreement
is what General Seott's original or.
ders sought
Americans will patrol northern Mex
leo while Carranzistas chase the vii.
listas southwark. A short, quTcK clean
up is in prospect When Funston feels
that the seOurge Of border raids is
eliminated, the American troops can be
Withdrawn.
The way may be clear for the state
department to "treat" with Mexican
ENJOYS on the subject Of the Withdraw.

have accomplished.

FL Paso, Texas, May 3.-American
troops are to remain in Mexico without
interference from Carranzistas, accord
ing to an agreement reached by War
Minister Alvaro Obregon and General
Hugh Scott, chief Of staff of the Uni
ted States army, after conference last
ing l3 hours.
The agreement was reached at mid
night. Obregdn and Scott emerged
smiling from the room, refusing to IN
dicate the outcome. In statement IS
sued earlier in the evening both said
that Negotiations in progress would
probably result in satisfaction to all
concerned. b"
General Fred Funston was eliminated
from the conference. This was obvious,
although no official objection to his
presence was given. Funston strolled
about the lobby during the meeting,
and this pointed to an indication that
the negotiations hau been robbed of
their military aspect Funston was re-
ported to have clashed with Obregon
during the first conference.
May Use Railroads.
Obregon granted permission for the
expedition 20 have full use of the Mexi-
can Northwestern railway and prom
ised to cooperate as fully as is pos
sible with General Pershing and his
forces it was stated reliably. In re-
turn, Scott is unofflclally reported to
have set a GO day limit on the presence
of American troops in chihuahua.
Scott IS concessions are not definitely
known, however, and it is believed the
war department will shortly give out
the program agreed upon.
The conclusions of the conferees viii
not be effective, however, until they
are ratified by the Mexican and the
United States governments.
Emerging from the conference, Scott
went to his private car and dispatched
a long telegraphic report to Washing
ton by special wire, Whether there
will be additional conferences is not
definitely known but both war leaders
are expected to remain on the border
for some time. Scott indicated that the
attitude of Washington would decide
whether another meeting would be
necessary. ObregOn was silent.
Some Mexican Hot Air.
An indication that the conference
was reaching an amicable adjustment
was seen early when Oh 'egon came
from the meeting. When 0bregon re-
turned to the conference room, Adolph
De La Huerta dictated the following
message TO CaTan2a.
Information in negotiations now in
progress will terminate complete salts
faction all concerned"
President McQuatters of the Mexican
mine owners association. arranged the
last conference. He is head of com
pany owning large mines in Parral,
which were looted recently. McQuatters
invited Obregon and Scott to luncheon
at the Del Norte hotel, ostensibly to
discuss the tendency Of Mexieans to
blame the de facto government for lack
of employment. Obregon came openly,
Scott surreptitiously.
Obregon impressed Americans here as
being the strongest Mexican ever seen
on the border.

and demoralized and his prestige has
been dimmed by successive defeats.
The wreck of Villas fortunes has put
quietus ON bandistry in northern
Mexico, in the opinion of military men.
They believe the Carranzistas will be
able hereafter to control northern Mex
leo. Their forces arc ample to cope
with the remaining outlaws and to po-
lice the country adequately.
Carranzista leaders now hope to gath
er the remnants of General Cervantes
bands and enroll them under the stand
ard of the "first chief" thus remov-
ing another obstacle to the peace of
northern Mexico.
At last report Villa was in a seri-
Gus condition, according to Figueo
Saens, his sweetheart, of Guerrero.
She told Colonel Dodd at Guerrero that
Villa was brought into the village in
carriage after the battle of Guerrero
last month with head bandaged. All
but the girl and DR.. Stell, an American,
were ordered away from his side. The
bandit would not even allow Dr. Stell
to treat aim, taking a roll of bandages
from the American surgeon s hand, ap-
parently intending to treat himself.
The Saenz girl told Colonel Dodd
that she saw a wound in Villa 5 head
aud another in his hip. She said Dr.
Stell mentioned a third wound in the
bandit s leg Villa spent a fortnight
at Guerrero, she said and then went
south.
