[Republlcan A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON Aug. 23 There were two developments today in the Mexican situation. Secretary Lansing and Eliseo Arredondo Mexican am bassador- designate, tentatively agreed that the joint commission to discuss border problems should meet at some place on the New England coast dur ing the first week in September. Brigadier General Pershing transmit ted a report saving the general opin- ion was that Villas prestige is gone and that he can never again become a serious factor in Mexican affairs" !"
 Supporting as it does General Fun ston's recent recommendation for the withdrawal of the eXpeditionary force in Mexico, it is believed General Per shing's report makes it. certain that the American commissioners will agree promptly to the suggestica. of their Mexican conferees for tie oarly recall of the troops.
 Mr. ArredonGo called at the diDlo- matic to receive formal notifica- ton that the American commits sioners had been selected and were ready to meet the Mexican mmbers as soon as tn time and place could te arranged. Both the embassy and the department were in communica ton with Mexico City tonight in re- gard to the fixing of a day for begin ming the sessions.

CHIHUAHUA CITY. Aug. 23.-Nine of the men suspected Of connection with a Legalista plot were acquitted by court martial today after an ex haustive inquiry. They had been ar rested in Juarez and sent to Chihua- hua for trial because of their relation with Mariana Tames the civilian vol unteer leader at Juarez. who recently started off to join Villa. Their defense was that they had been misled by Tames into believing they were going on a picnic party anc they mad not actually joined the expedition.
 The written declaration of Jose lnez Salazar. the former Orozco general, and the twenty-two others held with him as suspects, were turned over to General Treyino today for review. Proof against them is said to be weak. as the incriminating documents taken from them consist mainly of newspaper clippings relative to the doings of the Legalistas and old photos of Orozco and Villa officers.
 Among the suspects is Angel Yer gara who is also accused of having tried to start a Mexican revolution at San Diego, Tex, to reclaim for Mexico the territory lost in the Mexican war. Another suspect of importance is Luis Bazet, a former Nillista colonel am nestled last year.
 Concurrenuy with reports of Villas death came a message rom Santa Ros- alia today saying that the bandit lead CT made a forced march out of Dur ango. crossing the railway from Jim inez to Parral last Saturday night, en- camping at Las Escobas, en route for Santa Gertrudis in the Naica district The band is reported to consist o about 400 men and to be in poor condi- ton as to equipment and supplies. The dispatch said that the bandit chieftain. travelling incognito is in hid ing with few of his men in the hills near Naica, Durango.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Both houses of parliament adjourned today until Oc- tober 10, after adopting a bill extend ing the present parliament another seven months.
 Not since, the outbreak of the war has parliament adjourned on a situation such as the present and which was de- scribed by David Lloyd George. min ister of war, and other ministers in de- bates, as giving so little cause for anx- iety and so hopeful an outlook for the future. The debates reflected a feeling of confidence, although expressing re- alization that heavy tasks are ahead and that there is no prospect for hos tilities coming to a speedy end It is the general belief that before parliament re-assembles a further i'm l portant stage of the entente allied of- fcnsive will have been developed in 1 the near east, which may have great influence on the whole field of opera
 tions.

 NEW YORK, Aug 23.-President Wilson was criticised tonight in a res olution passed at the closing session here of the German Roman Catholic Central Verein for having preferred charges" in his message to congress against part of our citizenship, who heretofore enjoyed the proud distinc ton of unprecedented loyalty and patri- otism.' Action on the resolution was taken only after there had been a heated debate on the question of the propriety of a religious organization entering into political fields"
 The resolution, presented by com mittee headd by Josph Matt, of St. Paul. Minn., was as follows:
 Without precedent in the history of our country, We find the president of the United States publicly-in his off, cial message preferring charges against a part of our citizenship who heretofore enjoyed the proud distinc- tion of unquestioned loyalty and patri- otism.

DEATH SUMMONS
FRED G. WHITE

Frederic G. White, one of the best
known business men of Pinal county,
died at his home at Florence Thursday
evening, August 81. Death was due to
a complication of kidney trouble, from
which Mr.. White had been a sufferer
for several months past
Mr.. White had but recently returned
from a trip to Rochester, Mimi, where
brated Mayo Brothers hospital. The
operation, however, was only partially
successful, and recurrence of the
trouble proved fatal.
Mr.. White was brother of Mrs. E.
w. French of Ray, anC' was well known
and highly respected among the people
of Ray and northern Pinal county, hun
dreds of whom mourn his loss as that
of a brother and friend. The funeral
services, which were held last Sunday,
at Florence, were largely attended.
The following sketch of the life of
Florence Blade-Tribune:
Frederic G. White was born in Bos-
ton, Mass, in 1871, and acquired his
education in the public schools of that
city, where he remained until the age
of sixteen. AT that time he enterd the
coasting service and later the deep wa

tion could always be counted upon to
1894 and was later identified with the
marine hospital and lighthouse service.
In this connection, he remained until
1898, when he came to Florence and
turned his attention to business pur-
suits, engaging in carpentering in
Florence and Globe and also followed
abandoned all of these occupations and
established lumber and hardware
business, with the conduct of which he
continued until 1914 He aided in the
construction of the o. T. canal and was
secretary and treasurer of the operat-
ing company until 1915, when he re-
signed. He held a similar position in
the Casa Grande Valley Water Users
Association, which had partially COM
pleted a canal forty three miles in
length to supply water to this valley.
Mr.. White married Miss Natalia
Michea, a native of Florence, and is
survived by his wife and five children,
Martha, John, Eugene Benjamin and
Mary.
Frederic G.. White was always to be
found among the leaders in any pro-
gressive public project and was one Of
the able successful, far-sighted men of
Florence. He was a representative and
public spirited citizen, whose co-opera-
ton ould always be counted upon to
further community interest, and his
name had come to stand as a synonym
! for progress in business lines"

hired men went out and got run, with
three singles in the first inning off
Jack Bromley's delivery. But Jack re-

Beaumiller's ball tossers turned them
back in the remaining innings, except
the eighth when Arbogast rode a fast
one over the center field wall for a

And it was Bromley who should be

through to a to 2 victory, for his two

tallies.
Rose (they shortened it so it would

visitors in the first inning, walked, but
Bromley caught him off first with a
snap throw to Scanlon. Galena, Nc
Donnell and Arbogast followed with
singles but quick returns allowed only
Galena to count.
Fentress who frogged from the Fort
Worth club, was on the mound for the
visitors. He pitched good ball and not
to be outdone by his opponent on the
mound, he garnered two blows in three
attempts. Demaggio got the first hit
off Fentress in the fourth.

of workers is that none of them is old

they are all for Hall, because he is a
