and Frederick Lehman, former solicitor general, and a member of the A. B. c. mediation conference at Niagara Falls had been considered. The name of Louis D. Brandeis, associate justice of the su- preme court, also was mentioned There was nothing to indicate, however, that any selections had been made
 It appears certain that Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister of finance, will head the Mexican commission. Mentioned as his probable associates are men of great prominence in Mexican economic life, and 1t is argued from this that General Car ranza also realizes that the commission may have a far greater task than the mere settlement of the border disputes
 The Mexican outline of subjects to De discussed by the commissioners contains no new proposal except that the origin Of the border raids be investigated It is recalled that General Carranza's first indication of hostility took the form of note suggesting discussion of the with draTal of the American forces and that the state department was preparing to discuss the subject when a. wave of anti American demonstrations in northern Meixco, new border raids and the Car rizal clash brought the situation to a crisis.
 Administration officials here are known to have regarded the sudden outbreak of hostility in Mexico as indicating the activity of agencies which sought for their purposes to embroil the two nations in war Secretary Lansing and other officials have made no secret of their belief that sinister influences have been striving consistently toward that end. President Wilson has repeatedly referred to these influences in public utterances. , There is no reason to believe that the United States would not welcome an in- Vest1gatlon of the origin of the border raids, such as now has been proposed by General Carranza.
 CARRANZA WAS SUSPICIOUS
 As, to the reciprocal agreement sug- gested in the Mexican note, the term of such protocol were being worked out by MT. Lansing, MT. Polk and MT. Ar redondo when General Carranzas sus- picions led him to terminate the nego- ttations abruptly and demand withdrawal of the troops The only point then re- maining to be settled was the status of General Pershing's force.
 Apparent elimination of suspicion on General Carranza's part, through the eff forts of European and Latin American diplomats in Mexico City, leaves the way open, administration officials believe to give material aid to the de facto gov ernment in meeting it's troublesome do- nestle problems. It has been suggested that the United States might induce American financiers to go to the relief of General Carranza.
 Whatever the immediate cause of delay in reaching a final decision to the commission plan, state department off cials unquestionably are actuated by a desire to find a permanent remedy. They hope to avoid limiting the commissioners in order that every chance will be of fered for the evolution of a construc- tive plan of action to be shared by the two governments, and which will have the rehabilitation of Mexico from the inside as it's object.

Why Spannell Killed His
 Wife and Army Officer
 Is Shr0uded in Mystery

| Alpine, Tex, July 21.-Mystery sur
 rounds the motive of Harry J. Spannell | manager of local hotel for shooting
 and killing his wife and Lieut.. Col M. C. Butler of the Sixth United States cav- | terday morning.
 According to an announcement from the
 county attorney tonight, Spannell. who surrendered himself immediately after the shooting refused to discuss his case and
 a thorough investigation disclosed no ap-
 parent reason for the killing.
 The shooting caused much excitement
 because of the prominence of the Span-
 nell family and of Colonel Butler. Span nell, who was held over night in the
 county jail, was taken today to another town, the name of which was not re- l vealed, for safekeeping.
 l An investigation by local authorities disclosed that Spannel was driving his
 wife and Colonel Butler in his car along
 the main residential street of the town when suddenly he stopped his engine
 turned in his seat, drew an automatic pistol and a revolver and with the one | began shooting Colonel Butler and with 1 the other his wife.
 l He calmly emptied both firearms into l the bodies of the victims, according to | witnesses, and then without haste,
 walked to the courthouse and gave him | self up.
 Apparently Colonel Butler was shot first and killed instantly, for persons | nearby heard the woman cry out aft CT the shooting had begun, Harry, don't kill mel while the officer made no outcry.
 1 Previous to the shooting Spannel had | been chatting gayly with friends at the Holland hotel, of which he was | manager
 | Colonel Butler only recently was pro- | noted from the rank of major and had been stationed here in command Of l the garrison for about two months, and had become popular with the | townspeople. He lived at the Holland | hotel and he and his wife and 11-year- | old son were on intimate terms social | ly with MT. and Mrs. Spannell and their 5year- old daughter.
 Before being taken away from the | local jail Spannel broke down and sobbed bitterly. bemoaning what he
 termed his madness" He persisted.

however, in his refusal to discuss his reasons for the shooting.
 Spannell, who is 30 years old, is a native of Hazelton, Pa, where his par ents still live. A graduate of musical conservatories in this country and abroad, he was an instructor in music at Baylor university at Waco, Tex, where he met the daughter of John Holland, cattleman and banker of Alpine, whom he later married. Mrs. Spannell was then student in the uni- versity. She was 29 years old and was known as one of the most beautiful women in Texas.
 Colonel Butler was 52 years old and native of Edgefield, $. c. He was d son of Maj Gen. Mathew Calvert But Ter, U. S. A, who for a number of years was a United States senator from

Proposition From First Chief Would Limit All Conversation to Three Subjects, and President Thinks
 That More Should Be Taken Up

Washington, July 21.-Official announce ment of the course to be followed in seeking a peaceful solution of the prob- lens arising from conditions along the Mexican border probably will be made either tomorrow or early next week.
 It appeared certain tonight that the Washington government was prepared to accept the commission plan proposed by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-22

General Carranza in his note of July H. made public yesterday in Mexico City, but there are indications that President Wilson would prefer a more fsr-reaching discussion than this communication.
 Acting Secretary Polk conferred again today with Eliseo Arredondo, General Carranza's ambassador, but the confer ees bad no announcement to make. Ap- parently acceptance of the commission plar is awaiting General Carranzas re- ply to amendments proposed by the Washington government to his sugges- tion the nature of which has not been revealed.
 MT Polk is keeping both President Will son and Secretary Lansing, now absent on vacation, advised of each step taken. The acting secretary is guarding closely what proposals are being debated in his conferences with Mir Arredondo. He again met all inquirers today with the statement that negotiations were pro gressing favorably."
 TOO. LIMITED
 The note of July Il, as published in Mexico City, would limit the proposed commission to discussion of three spe- cific points-the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, arrangement of a reciprocal agreement under which the troops of either government might cross the border in pursuit of bandits, and in- vestigation of the bandit raids on Amer ican towns to determine what interests promoted them in an effort to force in- tervention.
 oi ie- 4a;,, l., government has no objection to discus sion of any of these questions, there have been intimations that President Will son hoped much greater results could be accomplished toward restoration of tranquility and stable government in Mexico than this limited field would per init. For that reason it was inferred that the present effort of MT. Polk probably was directed toward widening the scope of the commissions activities, and that General Carranzas answer on this sug. gestion must be received before a final zecision could be reached.
 Gossip as to the probable American membership of the commission seemed to bear out the view that the Wash ington government wished to take this opportunity to aid Carranza officials in every possible way in strengthening out the tangled financial and economic condi- tions in the southern republic There are indications that men of high posi- tion and ability. whose names are known internationally, would be elected to repre- sent the United States, in order to as- sure General Carranza that the best If fba to the task
