Hugh L. Scott, chief-of-staff, imme-
diately to report on the attitude of
Gen. ObregOn regarding the pro-
posed protocol and also as TO the
new punitive expedition that now is
pursuing the Mexican bandits who
raided Glen Springs. lie has been
directed to make an immediate re-
ply and it was stated at the war de-
partment that this reply will be
made public when received.
Officials are extremely pessimistic
over the outlook. A speedy ending
of the parleys on the border is look
ed for and a break with Carranza
in the near future is admittedly
more than a possibility. The state
department positively refused to
confirm reports that its representa-
tives now are endeavoring to hurry
ell Americans out of Mexico.

HAIGHT ADDRESSES
REAL ESTATE MEN
MuSkegOn Manufacturer
Urges Board to Get Behind
Housing Movement.

The housing problem, with an
earnest plea for some sort Of ac-
ton in this city, was brought TO the
attention of the members Of the
South Bend real estate board at
their MONDAY luncheon Tuesday by
l.. p. Haight of Muskegon, Mich.
Mr.. Haight, who spoke before the
Ad-Sell league last night spoke
briefly 10 the real estate men, max
ing the principal address of the ses-
sion. His talk dealt largely with
sand farming. but ne concluded his
remarks with a recommendation
that the real estate men take up the
proposition OF improving housing
conditions here. The Muskegon
man touched on the housing prob
lem st the meeting because of the
campaign the News-Times is con-
Quoting along this line here.
Mr. Haight said that making a
small farmer out of the factory
worker, eliminating crowded condi-
tons in the city and doing away
with the tenements, is a way Of
solving the housing problem. He
declared MuskegOn, his home city,
has the same sort Of housing con-
ditions 10 contend with as South
Bend. He held that the factory
man placed on a small farm is a
better citizen Immediately. The
Michigan mans remarks in refer
ence 10 sand farming were of unus-
ual interest. He told Of his exper-
fences with sand land in Michigan.
which he had purchased years ago
at one dollar an acre. and were
now paying him good profits in
crops
George d. Beroth presided over
today's meeting of the board, which
was held in the new Nicholson Inn,
on the top floor of the Farmers
Trust building. About 50 men at
tended the luncheon as guests Of
Mayor Fred Keller. The mayor was
given a vote of thanks for entertain
ing the board. Vernon Hastings an
nounced a meeting of the board for
the evening of May %. which will be
addressed BY Scott Brewer of Indi-
annapolis. George CARL and II. G..
Miller were named as the commit
tee to arrange for this meeting.

TRY To FASTEN 70
DEATHS ON WOMAN
international News Service

international News Service:
HARTFORD, Conn. Nav Com
yinced that at least 20 murders viii
be uncovered by the arrest of Mrs.
Amy +. Archer-Gilligan, who for
several years has conducted a home
for aged persons at Windsor. near
here, the state police under the di-
rection Of States Atty. Hugh NJ. Al
corn. continued today their invesu-
CATION OF the gruesome affairs Of the
Archer Home. where As inmates
have died since Jan. /, 1911. and Il
prior to that time, including James
H Archer, the first husband Of the
woman. who died in 1910, and Mi
chael W. Galligan. her second, who
died Feb. 20. 1914.
Confined to the Hartford county
Jail where she is held without bonds
for trial, Mrs. Gilligan re-
iterated her protestations of inno-
cence.
Thus far the arrest of Mrs.
Archer Gilligan is based on the
death of Franklin r. Andrews, an
inmate of the home. whose death on
cribed by DIT. II. F. King. the medi-
cal examiner. to gastritis ulcers. The
elimination OF the body OF Andrews
a few nights ago revealed the pres
ence, il is said, OF large quantities
of arsenic.
While the authorities refused to
divulge the facts. il is learned that
another body besides that OF Mr..
Andrews was exhumed and found to
contain quantities OF the deadly
poison. AS indicating the methods OF
Mrs. Gilligan. which resulted in the
investigation Of the case by the au-
thOrities, the elimination Of the
body OF Andrews was brought about
by the discovery Of his sister, Mrs.
Nellie z. Pierce. of letter among
his effects from Mrs. Gilligan ask
ing the loan of $500. Mrs. Pierce
started an investigation which re-
suited in the subsequent return Of
the $500 by Mrs. Gilligan. who
nevertheless protested that the
money was given to her for the ben
eft of the home.
