Dublin, April 29.--BarOn Wimborne

"The outbreak began Monday morn

that time information was received
that Dublin had been attacked, St.

"The military cannot distinguish
the rebels from other citizens. Some
times they reach the houses after hid

mingle with the ordinary inhabitants.
GAS a matter of fact, the genertl

"In the early stages of the revolt,

SEC. BAKER REFUSES
TO DISCUSS MATTER
1t Is Thought That All Danger of
Border Raids Is Now
Past.

Washington, April 29.-The only
dispatch to the war department made
public today was from Major General
Hugh l.. Scott, chief Of staff, report.
ing his call on General Elvira Obre,
gon, the Carranza war minitser last
night at Juarez, and adding that the
visit had been a pleasant one. OH
cials construed Ito Indicate that
Gen. Scott himself was impressed
with the idea hat satisfactory lm-
derstanding could be reached with
Gen. Obregon as to future movement
of American troops in pursuit OF Villa.
Secretary Baker again declined to
discuss the scope 0e the mission as.
signed to Gen. Scott at the rorthcom,
ing conferences with Gen. Obrcgon
At the state department. it was
said the chief of staff, while he could
talk over diplomatic aspects Of the
situation with GER. GarranZa, could
go no farther in that regard than to
report on the points raised Gen.
Scott is acting on .nhder orders from

Since the whole question Of Carran-
Za's formal suggestion that the Ameri-
can forces be withdrawn is state
department matter and never has
been officially transmitted to the war
department., it is clear that only the
military aspects of the situation at
the border and beyond can be form
ally considered by the conrerecs.
Whatever Gen. Scott may Indicate
as to the determination to retain the
troops in Mexico until all danger OF
border raids has passed, it is believed
here, that his chief purpose through
out the conferences will be to obtain
cooperation in the way of the use OF
Mexican railroads to supply the
troops; definite understanding as to
what course shall be pursued where
the Americans approach town, and
to what extent they may be enabled
to purchase supplies; and also. pos
sibly, some arrangement for inter-
change Of information that would aid
in running down the bandit, either by
the American or Mexican forces.
General Obregon's views will be
fully reported to both the war and
state departments.
Reports from the border continued
to indicate that Gen. Obregon has in

SUPREME COURT

Judge Nuessle yesterday handed
down decision declaring the bill
creating a state immigration depart
ment and appropriating 100000 for its
support valid No formal opinion was
rendered. James McGillic of Mandan
brought action through Attorney John
r. Sullivan, to restrain the board from
organizing He raised the general
point that the bill violated the con-
stitutiOn because it embodied an ap-
preparation which was properly The
subject OF a separate bill. The con-
stitution provides that appropriations
must be embodied in separate bills.
George Wallace member of the tax
commission. appeared in defense of
the bill having requested Attorney
General Linde the privilege of submit

Office was also represented and Ben.
ton Baker of Bismarck filed brief.
The tax commission was vitally in

is unconstitutional, so is the law ere.
ating the tax commission, the board
of regents and the bills providing de-
ficiency appropriations for the various
educational institutions.
It is. thought that the case will be
appealed to the supreme court within
the next go days and that final de-
cision will not be reached until late
this fall. III seems hardly likely that
a final decision in the matter can be
secured in time to organize the board
this year.
If the board is not organized this
year the appropriation reverts to the
general fund.
The immigration bill has been the
football of politics ever since it was
proposed in the legislature. In the
house it met with bitter opposition.
Upon it's passage patronage consider
atiOns complicated the operation of
the bill. Petitions were circulated to
referend it and Thomas Hall, secre-
tary of state, had decided the petit
tions valid when Attorney General
Linde made an investigation and founo
that Mr.. Hall was wrong Errors had
been, made in the count and there
were other serious irregularities in
the secretary of state office.
After Attorney General Linde haG
held that the bill had not been ref.

CONFLICTING PROPOSITIONS
HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED

iEl PasO, April 29.-TWo conflicting
propositions developed immedia .ely
after the beginning in the Mexican
customs house in Juarez late today Of
the conference to decide the future
disposition of the American expedi-
tionary forces in Mexico
They are understood, temporarily,
to have increased the gravity of the
negotiations.
From an authoritative source, two
things were learned:
First, that the Mexican representa-
tives reiterated the wish expressed
in Gen. Carranza's note O the Wash
ington government that the American
troops should be withdrawn from
Mexican soil at an early date.
Second, that they were informed by
the American officials that the latter
we're empowered :" discuss the with
drawal of Gen. Pershing's columns.
1t is understood the American re-
presentatives told the Mexican Off
cials that if the de facto government
insisted on American withdrawal that
the conference would go into a dead

vert to a diplomatic discussion be.

officials
A new factor is believed to have
been injected into the conference
over American troops disposition TO-
night by the recent of fresh reports
that Francisco Villa is dead.
Mexican consul Garcia said Col.
Carlos Carran2a had telegraphed him
from Cdsihuiriahic that he had been
unable to find Villas body. but that
he had established beyond dispute
that the bandit leader was dead. and
he hoped to recover the BODY in a
few days. The telegram said all the
evidence intended to confirm the
death of Villa.
This telegram is understood TO
have been laid before the conferees
but none will confirm or deny ii.
Another conference will be held to-
morrow, this time in Ell Paso.
