Candelaria, Tex. Aug 25 by Army
Telephone to Presidio, TeX)-The
American punitive expedition in Mex
leo was deferred from continuing the
pursuit of Mexican bandits who held
the American aviators for ransom, by
the presence of Carranza troops SIX
miles north of Coyame, Chihuahua,
Saturday, according to a report made
today by Capt. Leonard Matlack OF
the Eight cavalry here tonight tn
col. George r. Langhorne, commander
Of the Big Bend district.
American scouting parties described
the proximity of patrol Of ten Mex
lean federals, and later learned that
there were so more Carranza soldiers
further along on the only trail the
American foces could follow. To avoid
a clash the American forces then be-
gan to return to the United States, ac-
cording to Captain Matlacks report
which was submitted to Colonel Lang
horne during an inspection trip along
the river.
The death of Jesus Renteria leader
of the band of outlaws that. captured
Lieuts H. G.. Peterson and Paul II.
Davis, aviators, is believed to have
been confirmed, Lieuts. r. II. Cooper
and Frank Estill, killed the bandit
chieftain with a bomb dropped from
the air and both Peterson and Davis
have identified the body as that of
the man who he'd them for ransom.
Renteria quarreled with some of his
followers over the division of the ran
som money, the greater part of which
he tried to appropriate, according to
Matlacks report, Alterations oc-
CURED at midnight in the house of a
woman at San Antonio Viejo, oppo-
site here. The bandits drew guns and
rode off fighting.
The story of the quarrel was told
to Americans by the woman who was
forced TO light lamp in the room
where the money was to be counted
Captain Matlack reports that Renteria
is said to have told natives he intend
ed to keep the ransom money and Kill
his captives as well. He was fatten-

the earning capacity of the railroads
will be when ordinary conditions re-
turn. There is no certain basis, there
fore for calculating what the increases
of freight rates should be, and it is
necessary, for the time being at any
rate, to take care of all increases in
the wages of railway employees
through appropriations from the pub
lie treasury.
I'm such circumstances it seems
clear to me. and | believe will seem
clear to every thoughtful American,
including the shopmen themselves,
when they have taken second thought,
and to all wage earners OF every kind.
that we ought to postpone questions
of this sort until normal conditions
come again and we have the oppor-
tunity for certain calculation as to the
relation between wages and the cost
of living. 1t is the duty of every citi
zen of the country to insist upon a
truce in such contests until intelligent
settlements can be made, and made
by peaceful and effective common
counsel. / appeal to my fellow citi-
zens of every employment to coop
crate in insisting upon and maintain
.
in sustaining the government in what
| conceive to be the only course which
conscientious public servants can pur-
sue. Demands unwisely made and pas
sionately insisted upon at this time
menace the peace and prosperity of
the country as nothing else could and
thus contributing to bring about the
very results which such demands are
intended to remedy.
There is, however, one claim made
by the railway shopmen which oughe
to be met They claim that they are
not enjoying the same advantages that
other railway employees are enjoying
because their wages are calculated
upon different basis The wages of
other railway employees are based
upon the rule that they are to receive
for eight hours work the same pay
they received for the longer workday
that was the usual standard of the pre-
war period. This claim is, | am told,
we'll founded and / concur in the con-
c'usion of the director general that
the shopmen ought to be given the
additional cents an hour which the
readjustment asked for will justify.
There are certain other adjustments
also, pointed out in the report of the
director general which ought in fair
ness to be made, and which will be
made
Let me add, also, that the position
which the government must in con-
science take against general increases
in wage levels while the present ex-
ceptional and temporary circum-
stances exist will of course not pre-
clude the railroad administration from
giving prompt and careful considera-
ton to any claims that may be made
by other classes of employees for re-
adjustments believed to be proper TO

who Kidnapped and held for ransom
two American aviators.
With the reported killing OF Jesus

An important part was played by
the aviators who kept up laison with

tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wsel

Douglas, Ariz Aug 25.--Three
MeXicans were killed. several others
wounded, a ranch and at least one
mining property looted by band of
eighty Yaqui Indians, operating in the
district south and west of Moctezuna,
Sonora, approximately sixteen miles
south of Douglas eight days ago. The
first news of the raid reached Douglas
upon the arrival here of Or. G. It.
Veal, president of the Slaughter Land
& Cattle company.
The Yaquis were reported to have
left the Slaughter ranch for the San
Nicolas mine. operated by a Douglas
corporation, which is said to have
been looted, but no one was killed.
From there they are said to have
gone in the direction of Arizpe, with
the announced intention of looting the
Chispas and the Babicanora mines.
Efforts tonight to ascertain whether
they had reached either place were
futile. At the Babicanora there are
four Americans, j. 7. Havens, e. II.
Schram, Gilbert Melcher and r. Fl.
Whitesides. At Las Chispas the only
foreigners are Antonio Padrazzini, a
Swiss, and j. Montijo. of SaH Fran
cisco, Calf, the largest stakeholder m
| the concern.
In describing the raid on the
| Slaughter ranch which he said he had
| received from employees who met him
| in Moctezuma as he was on his way
| to the ranch and turned him back,
| DR.. Veal said that the Indians came
| up to the Basura river from the di-
rectlon of Ures- arriving on the prop
erty on the afternoon of August 10.
Enroute they wepe known to have
| killed one Mexican near Basura camp
and the mail carrier between that
place and Ures. On the Soque ranch,
near the Slaughter holdings. they kill
ed a Mexican cowboy and his horse.
The man reached the doorway of his
| home after being shot and fell dead
at the feet of his wife, The fate OF
the woman is not known.
Jupan Cruz. an employe of the
| Slaughter ranch, was set upon by the
Indians and badly wounded, his hip
being shattered by a bullet. His life
was spared on condition of his guiding
the Indians to the headquarters ranch
which he did Later he was allowed
to ride to Babicanora for treatment.
The band reached the ranch Sun
day morning, August II, and failing
to find DR. Veal who then was In
Douglas, they killed scores of cattle
chickens and turkeys and twenty fat
hogs, while twenty-five horses and
mules in the corral were driven off.
Lumber which was piled near the
house was burned, the garden wanton-
ly dug up. and the Yaquis pastured
their horses in the fields where there
were growing crops.
A portrait of the late C. c. Slaugh-
ter, prominent Texas cattle man and
father of Mrs Veal. was made a tar
get by the Indians who shot the CAN
vas full of holes
A few hours after the arrival of the
Yaqus Henry Manson. American
negro cook. rode up to the house and
was greeted by hail of bullets. The
man made good his escape over the
mountains. Manson reached Babican-
ora safely and reported the presence
of the Indians.
