BANDITS WRECK
TRAIN; MASSACRE
200 men, women
Many Of the Women Sub
jected to Indignities Be
fore They Are Killed.

San Antonio, Tex, May 25.--More
than 200 civilians were slaughtered
between Mexico City and Cuelnavaca
three weeks ago, according to private
advices received here today.
Rebels operating between Cuer-
navaca and Mexico City attacked a
train on which government employees
were being sent to assume govern
mental work there. On the train were
many women, wives and daughters of
employees. Almost all Of them were
reported to have been subjected to
indignities, after which a few Of them
were killed.
The train was wrecked south of
Tres Marias on heavy grade. The
attacking bandits overwhelmed the
little guard, and continue pouring into
the cars a heavy fire, while those who
leaped from the doors and windows
were brought down as they attempted
to escape into the brush. Only one
man, the express messenger, was left
alive, according to reports received
here.
The bandits secured from the train
a consignment of ammunition, said to
be three million cartridges and three
million pesos of the new issue of cur
rency.

ORPET'S MOTHER
WARNED BY COURT

Waukegan, ILL.,, May 26.--Attorneys
in the trial of Will Orpet, the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin student charged
with the murder of his sweetheart,
Marian Lambert, speeded up the pro-
cess of selecting jury to hear the
evidence today and as a result the
second panel was sworn in at the
morning session of court.
The court today granted partly a
motion by the state to prevent dem
onstrations of affection towards her
son by Orpet's mother. The state
charged that Mrs. Orpet daily entered
the court after the session had OPEN
ed and in view of prospective jurors,
went to the table where the defend
ant was sitting and kissed him.
Previous motions calculated to pre-
vent this were overruled, but today
Judge Donnelly ruled that Mrs. Orpet
might sit by her boy. hut mus be less

lansing DENIES
He CONTEMPLAJES
Leaving CABINET
State Department Says the
Story Part of Un-Ameri-
can Propaganda.

Washington, May 26.-Secretary
Lansing attended the cabinet meeting
today after having been confined to
his home by an attack of Indigestion
for nearly week. The secretary
said he had been able to do little work
during his illness, the effects of which
he still showed when he arrived at
the white house.
The state department made this
statement regarding published reports
that Secretary Lansing was con-
templating resigning from the cabinet
because of differences with President
Wilson:
"The story is part of a propaganda,
the deliberate purpose of which is to
create an appearance of dissension in
the government which does not exist.
The story was first born last Feb
ruary or March when the relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
were somewhat strained. It was sent
to Berlin by wireless in press dis
patches. It was picked up in transit
in an allied country and published
subsequently there In that way the
state department gained cognizance Of
the story, and instructions were sent
to Berlin to watch out for it. APP
parently, the persons responsible
found out we were prepared for the
story, because it never was published
in Germany.
"The directors of this propaganda
have now taken advantage Of Secre-
tary Lansing's illness to put forth the
story again."
Mr.. Lansing personally denied that
he was considering resigning, as he
was leaving the white house.

Carranza General Requests
Conference to Avoid Pos
sible Clashes.
Villas CHIEF AID
KILLED IN FIGHT
Private Hulitt of the Seventh Infantry
Brings Down Two MeXicans in
Skirmish Near Cruces, Ameri-
cans Losing One Man.

Washington, May 27.-Another con-
ference of Mexican and American
military commissioners was ar
ranged today. Secretary Baker an
nounced that General Pershing, head
ing the American expedition in Next
co would meet General Gavira, Car
ranzas commander-in-chief in Chi
huahua, at the latter's request to
work out plans for closer co-opera-
ton in their military operations.
General Funston has approved the
proposal. It is believed that General
Cavira will go immediately to Gen.
eral Pershing's headquarters at
Namiquipa for the conference. Some
definite arrangement to preclude the
possibility of clashes between Car
rama and American soldiers, by
keeping them apart, is expected to be
one of the important results of the
discussion. Officials were not advised
whether General Carranza or Gen
eral Obregon had approved Gavira's
request and it was believed he prob
ably acted upon his own initiative as
military commander of Chihuahua.
The state department received it's
first official information today as to
the probable tenor of the new note
from General Carranza, on it's way
here by special messenger. Special
Agent Rodgers at Mexico City re-
trted that while he had been unable
to obtain from Carranza officials any
hint as to the contents of the COM
munication newspapers in the capt
tai closely censored by the federal
government were printing statements
that it would demand immediate
withdrawal of the American expedi-
ton. While officials here believe the
phraseology of the note is largely for
Mexican consumption, they hope Cen
eral Carranza has not gone SO far
as to make an unqualified demand
for withdrawal.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas-
sador designate. issued a statement
today declaring the Carranza govern
ment twas doing everything in it's
power to bring negotiations to a con-
clusion satisfactory to all parties and
in manner that will sacrifice neither
the self respect nor pride of either
nation.
News of one of the most important
accomplishments of the American ex-
petition reached the war department
from General Pershing, who reported
that Candelareo Cervantes, the no
torious bandit leader who particl-
pated in the Columbus raid, had been
killed near Cruces yesterday by
American troopers. In his report,
General Pershing said:
"Cervant was without doubt the
most desperate and dangerous outlaw
in Mexico except Villa himself. I be-
lieve his death will expedite the cap
ture of others, being second only to
Villa, and principal leader in the at
tack ON Columbus. Cervantes was
positively identified by papers found
on the body. and by several natives.

Tom Gilmore, 20, Hanged to
Tree Last Night One Mile
from Town.
SHERIFFS RUSE
DISCOVERED BY MOB
Fearing Attempt on Life of Prisoner,
Mum Started to Take Negro to
Arkadelphin, But Was Halted and
Black Strung Up.

Prescott, May 26.-Tom Gilmore,
negro, 20, was taken from Sheriff
Sam Mum and a deputy about 10
o'clock last night, by mob, and was
hanged to tree alongside the road
about one and a half miles north
IF this place.
The negro had been arrested and
placed in the county Jail early in the
night, on charge of having insulted
a 17-year-old white girl, daughter of
a farmer living about four miles
northwest of Prescott. When the
facts became known, there were ru-
mors that an attempt at lynching
would be made, and Sheriff Mum ar
ranged to take the negro to Arka-
delphia by automobile, accompanied
by the sheriff, deputy and l.. ].
Griffith.
According to Griffith, the car had
gone less than two miles. when it
was halted by party Of men, the
negro taken and in few minutes the
black was hanging from the limb Of
a nearby tree.
The negro was somewhat of
stranger in the vicinity of the home
of the girl he insulted. but was
known here. About a year ago he
was arrested on charge Of criminal
assault upon 12-year-Old negro girl,
but he had not been convicted in that
case.

GERMANS Strive
UNSUCCESSFULLY
AGAINST FRENCH
Fail in All Attempts to Cap
ture Approaches to Fort
Douaumont.

London, May 25.--Heavy fighting
in the region Of Verdun continues,
with the Germans still the aggress0rs,
but, according to the latest French
official communique, no new changes
in positions have taken place.
Following up their recapture Of
Fort Douaumont, northeastern Verdun,
the Germans have striven, but inef-
fectually, to drive out the French
from the approaches to the fort. The
attack was strong, but Paris re-
ports that under the fire OF the
French infantry and rapid firers It
was completely repulsed, the Ger
mans suffering heavy casualties. This
was the only infantry attack in the
verdun region, says Paris, but the
artillery has been active, especially
in the region OF Avocourt and hill
304.
The British and Germans have con-
fined their recent fighting mainly to
bombardment and sapping operations.
There have been minor infantry at
but butt in A these De no material advantage
accrued to either side.
Comparative calm prevails along
the Russian front, the only fighting
of moment noted being north Of Lake
Miadziol, where the Russians put
down German attempts to capture
their trenches. In the Caucasus reg
ion, where Turks and Russians are
engaged, the situation is reported UNI
changed.
Eighteen persons have been killed
and scores injured in an Austrian air
raid on Bari, Italy.

Washington Serves Notice That Law.

Britain Will Be Expected to
Make RecOmpense.

Washington, May 27.-The United
States, denouncing interference with
neutral mail, has notified Great
Britain and France that it can no
longer tolerate the wrongs which
American cities have suffered and
continue to suffer through the claw
less practice those governments
have INDUCED in, and that only
radical change in policy, restoring
the United States to it's full rights
as a neutral power, will be salts
fable.
This notification is given in the
latest American communication to
the two governments, the ext of
which was made public by the state
department tonight
The time in which the change must
be effected is not specified but the
United States expects prompt ac-
ton.
'tserious and vexatious" abuse
which have been perpetrated by the
British and French governments in
Selling and censoring neutral mail
are recited in the communication and
answers are made to the legal argu-
ments contained in the reply of the
