CONLEY'S DISCHARGE
SURPRISES GOVERNOR
Knew Nothing of 1t Until He
Read of Ii in Newspapers.

Governor Whitman denied last night
that politics on his part was respon-.
sible for the sudden mastering out OF
Colonel Conley and Lieutenant Colonel
Phelan OF the seth Regiment or that
it was responsible for the delay in
sending the troops TO the border.
Shortly before he started for Albany
he said:
"The news is surprise. knew
nothing about it until | saw it in the
newspapers am very sorry, for both
officers are friends of mine. | saw
them at Camp Whitman a few days
ago and they appeared TO me to be
physically fit. The seth Regiment, like
the other regiments, was given over 10
Federal control. The physical examina-
tion by the government apparently has
caused the rejection of the two
officers"
Concerning the delay in mastering in
the men of the 69th. Governor Whit
man said he promised them some
weeks ago they would go South as soon
as they we're fully equipped. Not
until few days ago was this ac-
complished. he said.

HOUSE CALLS FOR
FULL INFORMATION

Washington, July 11.-Major General
Tasker II. Bliss was sent to the border
to-day to investigate reports that the
National Guardsmen who were ordered
10 mobilize there were without sutti-
cient equipment and that they had to
undergo many unnecessary hardships
on the way.
Congress wants to know how the Ma
tional Guard has been treated. The
House adopted to-day two resolutions
directing the Secretary of War to give
information regarding the shipment Of
state troops to the boundary and on
the status of guard members in Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Texas.
The War Department is unwilling TO
admit that any effort has been made
TO hide the hitch in Mobilization plans
and transportation. II was said that
the Division of Militia Affairs had been
unable to confirm rumors Of mistreat-
ment of the men on the way.
The first House resolution directs
Secretary Baker TO say whether guards
men on the way lacked sufficient sleep
ing space; whether they travelled in
cars without lights; whether they were
delayed on the way; whether they lived
on army rations or had to obtain food
from civilians whether the cars were
inspected with a view TO protecting the
health of the troops, and whether the

Southern to Help Dependents.

The Adams, American, Southern and
Wells Fargo express companies yes
teriay bound themselves together in
an agreement to give adequate financial
support to families OF employees serv-
ing with the National Guard. The step

blization has any group of employers,
all working in the same field, agreed
to care for their guardsmen's families.
According to the agreement, all en-
ployes serving on the border who have

they are drawing from the government.
Single men will receive half pay, minus

Citizen-ROOkies Travel in
Pullman Cars Cooled
by Fans.

One thousand citizen rockies left the
Grand Central Station last night in
Pullman cars, cooled by electric fans,
for the second senior training camp at
Plattsburgh. The long, arched con-
course of the depot had all the at
mosphere of big armory as the hour
for the departure approached. From
subway and elevated trains, surface
cars, taxis and automobiles stream
of wives and sweethearts with their
rockies poured into the depot for two
hours.
The men were nearly equal in num-
Der of men TO a National Guard regi-
ment, but the departure last night was
preceded by no march between cheering
lines up Fifth Avenue, no stirring band
music and no sobbing farewells. Some
OF the rockies wore only uniform hats,
while others in full uniform had their
leggings on backward. One man carried
a rife and one wore n Rough Rider hat
There were service badges among the
men, too.
Luxury was not wanting. The rook-
les left in a three section solid Pull
man special. Portly Wall Street men,
perspiring under the burden of an
army hat, had porters Juggling their
suitcases and bags, while truckloads of
trunks were taken along. There was
plenty of ice water, ard the men were
sure of water breezes, either from the
Hudson, Lake George or Lake Cham
plain, nearly all the way.
Demands for berths on the special
exhausted the supply, and those who
came at the last minute were turned
away and nad 10 travel on the regu-
lar train which left at S.55. The first
section of the Plattsburgh Special left
at 9:39, and was followed at 9:40 and
at 9:4l by the second and third Sec
tions, each with ten Pullmans and a
baggage car.
The men will breakfast in Platts-
burg this morning.

WILSON WAITS
ON CARRANzA
President FavOrs Joint
Commission to Settle
Mexican Muddle.
tFrcm The Tribune Bureau |

( Washington, July 1.-THE Admins.
tration is marking time on the Mexican
question while awaiting Carranza's next
move. President Wilson's invitation to
an exchange of views it was learned
to-day, was intended merely to open the
door TO suggestions from the Mexican
government.
The United States, il is now said, has
no fixed plan, but will be guided by the
nature of Carranza's proposals. Be-
meath this openmindedncss, however. is
understood TO lie a determination to
keep the troops in Mexico until Villa,
or the Villa myth, is disposed Of.
President Wilson is said also to favor
joint commission, such as that pro-
posed in Congress yesterday, to debate
the problem and recommend a solution
II is hoped in Administration quarters
that Carranza will propose this means
of reaching an agreement, and while
waiting for him TO do this the Presi-
dent will, if possible, prevent any en-
barrassing action by Congress.
Carranza Favors Plan.
The Firs Chief is said TO be favorable
20 the plan, but it is believed he will
first propose the Withdrawal of the
Persh;ng expedition, the policing of the
border and the signing of a protocol
permitting the pursuit OF bandits across
the line by the armies of either nation
II this proposal is rejected. as seems
likely from the attitude of the Admin
istration, he may offer the commission
plan as a substitute.
The time consumed in appointing the
commission and in its deliberations
would give the Villa question a chance
TO crystallize. and for this reason is
favored by the Administration. Car
rama is understood 10 approve il be-
cause he believes such a commission
would almost certainly advise the with
Grawal Of Pershing and that the United
States would be forced 10 accept the
decision or lay it's motives open to
criticism.
To Eliminate Latin-America.
Another feature that commends the
plan is that il will provide an added
means of settling disputes when diplo-
macy fails. and thus eliminate Latin
American mediation. Although Presi-
dent Wilson favors the mediation prin-
( ciple. he was unwilling to submit the
Mexican question 10 such settlement,
and was considerably embarrassed by
+ the insistence Of the Latin-American
+ diplomats in profering their good Of
fees.
Shipments Of food and other non
military supplies are now going tc
Mexico, it was announced to-day. Some
shipments were delayed recently, Civ
ing rise to reports that the United
States had imposed a starvation en-
barge, but State Department officials
said the problem was entirely one OF
railroad cars and has been solved.
Arms and ammunition are still being
held up, even when consigned TO the
de facto government, and officials in
sist that there is no immediate pros
pect of relaxing the embargo. Inc
belief is that Carranza will be refused
military supplies until the Pershinc
forces are withdrawn.
