By Carl D. GrOat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, May 13.-The aeuteness
of the Mexican situation has passed,
General Hugh Scott wired Secretary of
War Baker today. He said that Gen
eral J. J. Pershing has so arranged his
troops that he could clean out the ban
dts in northern Chihuahua. Scott also
reported that no Mexican troops were
in sight of the American communica-
tions.
Scott expressed the view that General
Alvaro Obregon was now in a better po-
sition to aid the expedition than if he
had signed the border agreement. Scott
reported that Obregon had promised to
dispose the Carranzistas so as to patrol
Parral and the region south of Big
Bend Texas.
While contraction of the American
lines south of Columbus is practically
accomplished, Major Langhorne is ap.
parently hot on the trail of the Boquil
las raiders and Carranzistas are march.
ing toward Big Bend, Texas, with the
avOwed intention of cooperating with
the United States column.
If nothing untoward occurs, the ex.
pedition hopes for a quick cleanup in
the policing of northern Chihuahua. The
hope of catching Francisco Villa him
self is not great The big question now
is, can the Carranzistas be checked aft
er they learn that the American ex-
pedition refuses to withdraw.
Privately, officials said that there
might be an outbreak at any time. Gen
eral Hugh Scott is en- route to Wash
ington with his information concerning
the situation which will be used for the
guidance of the government in further
proceedings.
Ambassador Designate Arredondo is
expected to undertake withdrawal nego-
tiations soon, but his task is hopeless,

CLAIM ROANOKE WAS
MUCH OVERLOADED
Dire s 9 Feet Of Water on

: AIDED to e Feet

San cisco, May 13.-F1at charg
es tn, : North Pacific liner, Roa-
noke z overloaded when it left on
its IA = oyage last Monday were
made tuuay by Mrs. John G. Dennis,
widow of the steamer s second officer,
whose corpse was found in a drifting
lifeboat southwark of Port San Luis
by the Pacific mailer City of Para yes
terday.
81 have been robbed of my hus-
band, " said the grief stricken Mrs.
Dennis. "The Roanoke s interior was
sawed away to make room for an un-
precedented cargo. All day Monday
a gang of carpenters was busy aboard
and my husband told me tney were
removing beams, braces and everything
to make more room. He said he did
not believe the Roanoke would get
farther than San Pedro, and he prom
ised to quit her there"
1t has been admitted that, while in
the passenger service the old steamer
drew about 10 fet of water, when she
left San Francisco last Monday she
drew 23 feet. Stevedores have de-
clared that the steamer was loaded
with great speed and carelessly.
Reports from San Luis said that an
other lifeboat was seen drifting off
that point, but efforts to find it and
tow it in were unsuccessful.
Federal investigation of the Roa-
noke disaster begins in San Francisco
today. The coroner s inquest over the
five bodies which came ashore in the
lifebOat with the three survivors is
scheduled to commence today in San
Luis Obispo. A beach patrol is still
being maintained for the bodies of the
other as of so victims
Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers James
Guthrie and Joseph P. Dolan handled
the federal probe here They desired
to get to the bottom of the charges
that the steamer was overloaded, that
the cargo Of dynamite, oil and wheat
was earelessly placed aboard her, and
that she started ON her voyage to
Valparaiso in an unseaworthy condition.
Principal witnesses will be Quarter
master Elb and two Mexican firemen,
the sole known survivors. They will be
called upon to describe how the old yes
sci began heeling over as she ploughed
southward last Tuesday afternoon, how
the lifeboats were swamped in being
launched, and how she finally plunged
to the bottom.
The three survivors and five bodies
Of Roanoke victoms which came ashore
in a lifeboat will arrive here tonight
from Port San Luis. One unidentified
body will be removed to the city
morgue.

Oroville, Cal, May 13.-The jury
came in with the verdict at 9;24 a. m.
There was tense silence as the foreman
handed the paper to the clerk, who
read it.
Slaughter manifested no emotion.
Mrs Slaughter, who was by his side,
did not show any excitement, but Mrs.

Tense witnesses, and q close personal
friend of the minister, went into hys-
terics.
Attorney Schooler for the defense inn
mediately asked that new bonds be
fixed but Judge Gregory refused and
turned Slaughter over to the custody
of the sheriff.
The crowd in the court room was
quiet when the verdict was read, but
those in the corridors and clustered out
side the court house cheered Justify.
Their applause could be heard in the
court.
y The jury was out 2l hours. In the
first trial much longer deliberation
preceded a disagreement.
First Trial Bitter.
Slaughter's first trial commenced
March and ended April 3. From the
time the charges were made Slaughter
has been the center Of considerable agi-
tation in his church, frequently in his
sermons denouncing the accusations
against him as "frame-up" on the
part of the liquor interests and other
enemies.
In returning it's verdict, the jury
recommended leniency Sentence will
be imposed Tuesday morning when
Slaughter's lawyers will probably de-
mand new trial.
When Slaughter started to Jail with
the sheriff he kissed his wife and
daughter goodbye Mrs Ivy Camper
seized his hand and pulled him back,
kissing him also.
Slaughter refused statement. Sew
eral women members of his church were
loud in their claims that he had been
"railroaded." One of the women sym
pathizers followed Slaughter and his
guards all the way to the prison door.
As the grating swung open to admit the

enter also. Deputies thrust her back
She cried out that she intended to ac-

was threatened with arrest and stepped
