DETAILS OF TIE PARRAL AFFAIR
General Pershing Makes Exhaustive Report on the Treachery of the Carrancistas-lAme
 Co Play Safe.

With the American Army in Mexi- co. by Wireless to Columbus, Wire b El paso, Tex, April ls.--After an all-night ride to Sateyo, General Pershing arrived at field headduar- ters today for a conference with his staff, Members of his command gave details of the fighting at Par ral.
 They placed the affair in the light of a direct attack from Carrancista soldiers. Their report says that after one of his men had been killed, Major Maa.iio Tesapkins made up his mind that, if his command was going to be slaughtered, they would die fighting, and so cut loose with the result that over forty Mexlcans were left dead on the field Men in pershing's command said the fight occurred on April i2. Major Tomp- kins held his men in restraint until he noticed on an adjacent hill a body of soldiers flying an American flag Major Gomnez told him that the troops on the hill were a body of men sent to guard the Americans. Just then the so-called guards fired, killing one American and then sur- rounded the Americans. A non- commissioned officer told Major Tompkins the Americans had been fired upon. Tompkins asked for an explanation and was given an un- satisfactory one.
 He was afterward asked to get his men out of the city immediate ly, Gomnez offering to guide them to place of safety Eight men we're thrown out at the head of the re- treating American soldiers. The mob grew larger and rifle and pis- tol fire became ineessant from the guard on the hill and the Ameri- cans retreated to Vera Cruz and there awaited reinforcements.

WORKS HAVOC IN
 ROAD DISTRICTS
Twenty Districts Must Be Reorgan- ized in Compliance With the Law and Court Ruiing-Repudia-
 ton Is Inevitable.

Little Rock. April i7-Refusal to- day of the Supreme court to modify or to grant rehearing on the re- cent decision on the Alexander road law, has invaIidated the organiza- tions of twenty road districts in the state.
 In six districts Ahe bonds have been sold and the money spent.
 The decision last week in the Wynne water district suit was that the legislature copld not validate an organization declared invalidated by the courts so if is apparent that the bonds in the six districts re- ferred to will be repudiated.
 These districts lie in Jefferson, White, Little River, Pulaski, Missis- sippi and Searcy counties.
 The districts in which bonds were not sold are being reorganized in compliance with the rules of the courts decision,

One Private Never Came Back.

San Antonio, Tex, April is.- Private l. NJ. Shernberg. sent into Parral ahead of the column to an- nounce the coming of Major Tomp- kins command. never returned and is believed to have been killed, Gen. eral Pershing stated in supple mentary report on the parral af- fair. Pershing's report bore out previous indications of treachery, army officers believed.
 The captain of the Mexican gar rison came to the city limits and greeted Tompkins in a most friend ly manner when the troops first ar rived, Pershing reported He is- sued an invitation to Tompkins to bring the troops into the city and spent the night in Tompkins' com pany Accepting the invitation the following morning, the American commander delegated Private Schernberg to precede the column and announce their coming. The fight began when the troops marched into the city.
 Pershing sent a revised list of the casualties:
 Dead: Sergeant Joe Redgley and Pirate Herbert Leaford.
 Wounded: Major Frank Tomp- kins. Lieutenant James B. Ord. Cor poral Benjamin McGehe, Corporal Walter F. Willingham Corporal Richard Thanus.

New York. April 1.-The outlook for the civil population of the bel ligerent countries of Europe Is sl- most hopeless, according to Freder- ick c. WoIeott of this city, European representative of the war relief committee of the Rockefeller foun- dation, who arrived yesterday on steamer New York from Liverpool All the private chaiity in the world could not entirely relieve the dis tress of noncombattants, he said, unless private aid is supplemented by government assistance from neu- tral countries in the form of loans.

NOTE ID GERMANY
 BEING HELD BACK
Ambassador Bernstorif C0nferring With Secretary Lansing and Cabi- net Is Making Final Re-
 view of Note.

Washington, April iS.-Tt is pos sible that the note to Germany may he withheld from the wires fol- lowing a cabinet meeting at which the note was read.
 Ambassador Bernstorff is confer ring with Secretary Lansing this afternoon, having requested the con- ference. At this meeting 1t is un- derstood that there is a desire to learn from the department of state just what evidence it has in the Sus- sex case.
 Washington, April i8.-While the United States communication to Germany on the submarine issue is on the cables today it is not likely that it's contents will be made pub lie before "Wednesday or Thursday.
 The message is described as off, cial notice to Germany that the con- tinuance of friendly relations de- bends now on action, rather than words. With this the suggestion is carried that promises of reparation and punishment of the commander in the Sussex incident will not suf- flee, that the position of this gov |ernment on the submarine question IS based on a complete review of U-boat activities, extending from the time the Lusitania was sunk. Belief is expressed in official cir eles that there must be an entire change by Germany in undersea lighting if people shrdlutheD Dk lighting by Germany if hope is to be held out for future friendly in- tercourse between the two nations.

Leaders Were Called to Conference at the White House This
 Morning.
PLANS NOT REVEALED
An Ultimatum to Germany and Sev- erance of Diplomatic Relations Are Most Likely Even
 tualities.

Washington, April i9.--President Wilson will lay the submarine cris- is before Congress today. Tn the hall of the House of Representatives at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, with Congress seated before him in joint session, the president will speak the last words of the United States to Germany in the grave situation which has kept the two nations on the verge of break for nearly year.
 Developments yet undisclosed and of the most solemn importance are expected to follow quickly. An ul- timatum to Germany and the sever ance of diplomatic relations are the most likely eventualities. At ie o'clock this morning the president will receive Chairmen Stone and Flood of the congression- al committee dealing with foreign affairs, and Senator Lodge and Rep- lresentative Cooper, ranking Repub- lican members.
 The oft repeated statement that before breaking of diplomatic re- lations. the president would fully advise the heads of the Foreign Af- fairs Committee, was recalled last night in connection with the an Inouncement of the meeting and it was everywhere regarded as the forerunner of a development of ut most gravity.
 Plan Is Unknown.
 Washington is practically in ig- Inorance of the details of the presi- dents plans.

INTO PEN" OF OWN ACCORD.
Convicted of Theft, Henry ShuiIIin
 Asked for Commitment Papers.

special to The Star.
 Little Rock, April i4-Henry shutflfn. well-dressed young white man, called al the office of the clerk of the supreme court Thursday and asked for his com mittment papers to the state pen- itentiary. After securing them. he proceeded, unattended, to the prison where he voluntarily entered upon his term of service for the state.
 Shutflin was convicted in Miller county of stealing a COW and calf. The appeal was based chiefly upon the question of the admissibility of an alleged confession made by the defendant. Evidence was offered that the confession was made in the presence of the sheriff, the iail- CT, deputy prosecuting attorney. and that it was free and voluntary. The stock was found where he said it had been left. The court held that the confession of a prisoner of the location Of stolen property. though induced by threats, is ad- missible when verified by finding the property where he locates it.

TWO YOUTHS ESCAPE CHAIR.
Joe Strong and Clarence Dewein
 Will Serve Life Terms.

Little Rock, April i5.-After living in the death cells of the Arkansas state penitentiary since November, 1913, and being several times within a few hours of death lin the electric chair, Joe Strong and lClarence Dewein, white youths just lpast 2i years of age, today received documents from Governor Hays Icommuting their sentences to life Imprisonment. Both will be sent to lthe white convict farm at Tucker, Jefferson county
 Dewein and Strong, on the night of November 2, 1913. entered the store of L. H. Thompson an aged merchant living in the outskirts of Benton, Saline county. While one engaged the old merchant in con- Iversation the other struck him from behind using an iron coupling pin picked up in nearby railroad yard.
 Which of the two struck the fatal blow has never been determined, as each puts the blame on the other.
 Two days later Dewein was ar rested. Later Strong, Mexican half breed was arrested in Louis iana and returned to Benton. Both were convicted of first degree mur- der and sentenced to death. The sentence was stayed five different times by the governor granting res pites, and their cases attracted wide attention. Four of the respites were granted because of court ac- tions. Twice was Dewein declared sane after insanity proceedings in the courts. Each time the Supreme Court upheld the lower tribunals faction.
 Dewein was the savior of Strong, in that the latter never took any
 teps to save himself from the elec- tric chair, nor did he have any friends who intervened in his be- half, but each time Dewein got a re- spite. and finally commutation, the
 same clemency was shown Strong. Deweirs $ home is in Bellville, ILL, while Strong says his home is in ISelieman, Ariz. The youthful Mex ican has insistently refused to di- vulge particulars of his life or his family. Deweins father and moth- CT have been here repeatedly in eff
 forts to save their son.

The Russians have captured Fur keys most important port on the Black Sea-Trebizond. The port and outlying defenses had been strong ly fortified since the fall of Erzer- um and the Turkish garrison was estimated at three full divisions. The Russians also are continuing their drive against the Turks in the region of Baiburt, to the southeast. the capture of which town would result in the joining of the forces which recently captured Erzerum and those now at Trebizond, and give the Russians ilne for solid advance eastward. This is part of the plan for the isolation of the Turkish forces in Mesopotamia.
