COMMISSION HITS A SNAG
UNABLE TO FIX BLAME FOR
COLUMBUS RAID.
Mexicans Contend U. S, Commander
Had Advance Information of
Bandits Plans.

New London, Conn.-The first
problem on which the American
and Mexican commissioners here have
failed to reach quickly a common
ground of understanding is that of
responsibility Tor attacks on Ameri-
can troops and border towns.
The American commissioners in
sisted that the de facto government
accept responsibility for the Column
bus raid. The Mexican commission
ers contended that the American
commander| at Columbus had adj
vance information Of the intended
Villa raid and that no blame attached
to the CarranZa government. To this
the American commissioners respond
ed that the raiders came from and re-
turned to the territory supposed to
be under control Of the de facto gov
eminent and that therefore the blame
and responsibility should be placed
there.
After discussion Of the Parral in
cident the commissioners were just
as far apart. The Mexican commits
|
in attempting to pass through the
town, exceeded their orders as they
were understood to the Carranza au-
thorities throughout Mexico.
The representatives of the Amer
lean government refused to accept
this explanation.
Only in discussion of the Carrizal
skirmish did the commissioners ap-
proach an agreement. The Ameri-
cans admitted that Captain Boyd
probably had been at fault in taking
his troops so far to the eastward of
| the Pershing column.
Failure to reach an agreement i'm.
mediately on these points will not
! prevent an agreement on two of the
other points under discussion, it was
pointed out-the withdrawal of the
Pershing column and formulation OF
a border patrol agreement.

U. s. DIsLiKEs PLAN OF PUTTING
NEUTRAL NATIONS ON
RATION BASIS.
SEEKS TO CONTROL SUPPLIES
No Official Report Yet to State De-
partment, But Administration Is
Concerned over Curtailment
of our Export Trade.

Washington.-In the absence of in
formation detailing what commodities.
are affected by the new British re-
striCtions on American trade with.
Holland and the Scandinavian coun-
tries, officials here are uncertain just
how heavily American exporters will
suffer. Steps to secure this informa-
ton already have been taken and it
was indicated that should any sweep
ing extension of restrictive measures
be reV called it would be regarded as.
a serious development in the contro-
versy over the legality of allied
methods.
No report on the new order has
come through official channels, but
news dispatches regarding it were
called Immediately to the attention
of the British embassy by state de-
partment officials with informal in
Quiries as to the purpose and scope
of the proposal.
Officials Much Concerned.
Officials expressed much concern
over the first report that the new
order would completely cut off trade
with Holland and seriously cripple
that with the Scandinavian countries.
In some quarters it was suggested
that the present was a particularly
inopportune time for promulgating
such a decree.
Secretary Lansing is studying in
tricacies of the new legislation under
which the executive branch of the.
government is empowered to take
drastic retaliatory action against ma.
lions interfering with American
trade.
Farm Products Much Affected.
While American exports to Holland
already have been greatly curtailed
by a series of British orders, con
siderable trade, especially in food
stuffs, still is done with that coun-
try. Wheat, flour, corn, basic oils
and tobacco are among the most i'm
portant articles being sent there.
In addition to the new order, state
department officials are investigat-
ing an arrangement effected by Great
Britain and France for establishment
of bureaus to effect an exchange of
merchandise on the list of prohibited
imports. Until its effects are under
stood no formal protests will be
made. Legal authorities of the de
partment believe that such a plan
is in contravention of the British.
American commercial treaty of 1915,
which provides for free access of ma
tionals and ships of all the respective
countries and for unrestricted com
pierce unless prohibition of imports
apply alike to all countries.

VICIOUS ELEPHANT is HANGED
"Murderous Mary" Killer of Eight,
Executed With a Steam
Derrick

Bristol, Tenn.-Cundemned as hav-
ing forfeited her right to live under
the laws of Tennessee, "Merderous
Mary" the big female elephant with
a circus, was put to death at Erwin,
Tenn, the state authorities requir-
ing it. She was valued at $4,000.
Having none of the quick poisons
at hand, the showmen chose to hang
the beast. A derrick car was used.
Heavy chains were looped about the
elephants neck and the steam-oper-
ated crane lifted the massive form
into the air.
The showmen said Mary had killed
her eighth man, her last victim being
Walter El6ricge, Virginian, who
was gored to death at Kingsport re-

WOMAN TO RUN FOR CONGRESS
Mrs. Frances c. AxteIl Named by
ProgressVes and Democrats
Was In the Legislature.

Seattle, Wash.-Mrs Frances G..
AXtell, former Progressive men,
Der of the Washington legisla-
ture, was nominated in Tuesdays
primary as a Democratic and Progress
sive candidate for congress in the
Bellingham district. She had no OPP
position for the nomination.
AT the beginning of her campaign
she said:
"The reason 1 am a candidate is
that my opponent is stand-pat Re
publican and l am a nonpartisan Pro
gressive, hence we represent the two
antipodes of public thought"
Her chance for success depends up
on whether the Progressives can
maintain their strength in this state
as the party leaders are attempting
to do.
Mrs. Axtell recently announced she
would support President Wilson for
reelection on the ground that he had
shown himself to be real progress
sive.

Soon afterwards the flames enveloped
her from stem to stern, lighting the
sky to a crimson hue. With the wind
