 FL PASO, Texas, May 11.-After almost two weeks of discussion the conferences of Generals Scott, Funston and Obreeon over Ameri- can troop dispositions in Mexico came to an end tonight without any agreement being reached
 The whole matter was referred back to the Ameris-n and defacto governments to be settled through diplomatic channels.
 Tonight the situation IS almost exactly where 1t stood before the conferences began. The Mexican government still insists on the withdrawal of General Pershing's columns upon certain date and wants that date to come quickly. It is known that General Obregon has been willing to make conces- sions in order to reach an agree
 nent with the American conferees.
 He had been overruled, however, by the first chief, Venustiano Car ranza and his advisers. After practically conoeding the demands Of the American confrees, he was compelled to reverse his attitude. The end Of the negotiations came to- day after two conferences had beer held The first at ten o'clock in thu and lasted until 1 D. m. wher a recess was taken until four o'clocf to permit General Obregon, to keep l lunch engagement.

WASHINGTON. May 11.-Federal aid in the care of indigent tuberculosis patients. as contemplated in the Kent bill now pending in congress was con demned and defended by speakers to- day at the annual meeting of the Ma tional association for the Study and
 Prevention of Tuberculosis. The bill would provide for substituting hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis.
 Advocates of the proposed legisla- ton declared it would set the federal government to work solving the tuber- culosis problem too big for the states by themselves. Opponents said 1t would defeat its own purpose and would encourage migration of con- sumptives to the western states in which the system would be instituted creating a new problem.
 Representative Kent of California, author of the bill, championed its pro- visions. By giving federal subsidies of 75 cents d day to hospitals for the care of each nonresident patient treat ed he said. the bill ., ould relieve the western states of burden uncontrol- ed and irresponsible migration of tu- berculosis patients and would restrict the spread of disease.
