e. s. Commander Feels Certain
Bandit Leader Is Dead.
q. S. Cavalry Back on American
Soil Today.

Maria, Aug. 25.-Maj. James P
Yancey, commander of the American
punitive expedition, told the Asso-
phone at Ruidosa today that he con-
sidered the report authentic that
Jesus Renteria, bandit leader, had
been shot and killed from an Amerl-
can airplane last Tuesday,.
The bandit was slain at a point fif-
teen miles south of Candelaria.
I'VE got what we believed to be
confirmation of the reports of the
killing of Jesus Renteria by Lieut.. R.
II. Cooper" Major Yancey said. Mex
leans on the trail told US of the report
and others near Coyame confirmed it. "
Peterson First Reported 1t.
First report of the killing of Rem
terra was brought to the border last
night by Lieut. Harold G.. Peterson,
one of the American aviators held by
the bandit for ransom. Major Yancey
also confirmed the statement made by
Lieutenant Peterson that a night pa
troll of American troops came upon a
large patrol of CarranZa troops near
Coyame Saturday night, while pur-
suing Apolino Renteria, brother of the
bandit leader, and the pursuit was
abandoned. The American patrol re-
turned to the camp of the expedition
airy troops for a conference. At this
conference Major Yancey said a deci-
sion was reached to withdraw Sunday
as the Americans had been unable to
locate the hot trail"

He KILLS BROTHER
2-Year-0ld Highland Park Lad
Gun Victim.
Was Sleeping While Brother
Played With a Gun.

A shotgun which had not been
loaded for months" baby boys regu-
lar afternoon nap and the curiosity of
a small boy were the causes which led
to the shooting to death of Milton AL
fred Ahlstrom, 2 years old. at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
]. A. Ahlstrom, today. The gun was
in the hands of Carl Ahlstrom, 10
yeads old. a brother of the dead baby.
The Ahlstroms live at. 2S47 Illinois
avenue, Highland Park.
According to the stories told by
members of the Ahlstrom family fol-
lowing the shooting this afternoon,
Milton Ahlstrom was shot to death
with a single barrel shotgun in the
hands of his brother Carl Ahlstrom.
1t seems that the boy Carl told his
sister Lillian about 1:15 o'clock that
he would take his brother upstairs
afternoon nap. The two went upstairs
and about five minutes later a shot
was heard.
Chest Blown Open.
Carl came running downstairs
shouting. Hes dead. He's dead"
Lillian and Mrs. Ahlstrom rushed
up the stairs and found the child lying
on the bed, blood streaming from a
gaping wound in the chest and the
right hand blown almost completely
from the arm. The boy was dead
when found.
DR.. G. M. Hensley. acting coroner.
was called at once. Arrived at the
scene of the shooting Doctor Hensley
began investigation. The story told by
Carl is to the effect that when he went
upstairs with Alfred he noticed a shot
gun which had been standing at the
head of the bed for many months. The
gun was the property of an older
brother Marius Aflstrom. Both Lii
liam, Carl and other members of the
family stated that the gun has never
been loaded.
Tried to "Break" 1t.
Boylike, Carl was curious about a
gun. He knew that a shotgun
breaks" He wanted to break it.
Trying to accomplish this feat Carl
pointed the gun towards the foot of
the bed and the next thing he knew
it went off"
Doctor Hensley is now trying to
find out how the gun came to be
loaded at this particular time. Mr..
Ahlstrom is in Kansas City. where he
is working as a painter and decorator.
Mrs. Ahlstrom is almost prostrated
with grief and is overcome with sor
row.
After making a thoro investigation,
DR.. c. NJ. Hensley, acting coroner,
stated late this afternoon that an in
quest would not be necessary. The
mother was in the back yard at the
time of the shooting

SMOKING OUT JAPS
Q. S. To Renew Attempt To
Publish Shantung Agreement.
Presidents Hand in Treaty
Fight Would Be Strengthened.

Washington, Aug. 25.-A renewed
attempt to force Japan to publish the
agreement whereby she guarantees the
ultimate return of Shantung to China
is believed likely today as a result of
the senate situation growing out of the
amendment of the foreign relations
committee.
This agreement, while verbal inso-
far as the records of the peace con-
ference are concerned, is in existence
in writing. The Japanese. however.
have heretofore consistently refused
to permit its publication. An attempt
to obtain the "release" of the actual
wording of this agreement was made
soma two months ago in Paris. Other
powers approached the Japanese on
the subject, but with no success. The
president. consequently. has been
forced to refuse to give it to the
senate.
While administration senators are
confident of beating the Shantung
agreement on the floor. they recog-
nize that the fight must be made on
the principle that in order to assure
early restoration of peace the treaty
should be ratified without amendment
or reservations.
1t is known that many diplomats
connected with the peace conference
feel that the presidents hand would
be strengthened should the actual text
or the japanese agreement be pub
iished. For that reason the previous
attempt TO smoke out the japanese
had some support from other powers
which are anxious to see early Ameri-
can ratification of the treaty. A re-
newed attempt might be expected to
get the same support
