 GENERAL CARRANzA
REFUSED TO APPROVE PRoTo- COL SIGNED BY COMMISSION
 MEMBERS AT ATLANTIC CITY.
WILL REPORT TO WILSON
EIiseo Aredondo, Mexican Ambassa- dor Designate, Announced He Had Been Called to Mexico City
 For Conference.

Washington.-American members of the joint American-Mexica commis~ sion went to work on their response to the last communication of General Carranza, who, it is now admitted of ficially refused to approve the proto- col signed by the commission mem- bers at Atlantic City for withdrawal of American troops from Mexico and the cooperative border patrol
 A number of circumstances lead to the belief that the joint commission may abandon it's attempt to compose the international difficulties, and that Henry P Fletcher may be sent soon to the post of ambassador to Mexico, for which he was confirmed nearly a year ago. The text of the protocol was published for the first time.
 There were further insistent re- ports, lacking of confirmation. that the administration is seriously con- sidering ordering General Pershing's troops back to American soil to be distributed along the border for mill tary reasons, regardless of Carranzas attitude.
 Eliseo Aredondo, Mexican ambassa- dor designate, announced he had been called to Mexico City by General Car ranza for conference, but that he would return to his duties here in about three weeks.
 It was announced that the American commissioners only would make statement of their position to the President, and in Mexican quarters was taken to forecast an end of the commissions negotiations. An ane swer is being prepared to Carranza's plea for notifications in the protocol, but it was said that was not to be discussed with the President.
 The end of the commissiofl's nego- tiations was considered by other off cials to be preliminary to a new line of procedure in Mexican relations. which is expected to begin with the sending of Henry P. Fletcher to his post as American ambassador to Mext- co City, and the withdrawal of the American military expedition.

ARKANSAS STORM
 CLAIMED I8 LIVES
IT IS BELIEVED FIVE OF THOSE INJURED MAY FAIL TO
 RECOVER.
PROPERTY LOSS s5oO,OOO
Conservative Estimates Made at Pine Bluff Reduce Amount Believed Lost, as Buildings Destroyed Were of
 Cheap Construction.
 Pine Bluff.

Fine bIuu.--
 Ed Marshall, 10, son of Ward Mar shall, the wealthy negro farmer, who was instantly killed in Tuesdays tor nado, died at Pine Bluff hospital of injuries received in the storm, and the corrected list of the dead in the storm which ravaged this section of Arkansas stands at IS, while five of the injured remain in a critical condi- tion and may die.
 The first definite report of the storm ed with the return from that place or local men who had gone to investi- gate. At Grapevine there was no damage, but about five miles south west of that community eight or ten dwellings were destroyed or so badly wrecked as to be uninhabitable. No one was killed or seriously hurt al- though several persons were painfully injured. James Files, white, farmer, lost his house and was himself pain fully hurt. suffering the fracture of several ribs and other injuries. At the home of Rufus Adams, IT persons were in the house, which was splin- tered, but no one suffered except for bruises. Mrs. Shep Morris was pain fully hurt when her home was wrecked.
 Conservative estimates made here, after a close study of the reports of the storms ravages, are that the property damage will hardly exceed $500,0O0, if it reaches that figure. Most of the houses destroyed were negro cabins, with cheap furniture There were no growing crops. Only a few head of stock was killed, wire damage did not exceed $5,000, and timbermen say only a comparatively small amount of valuable timber was destroyed
