CAPTURE WELL
KNOWN BANDIT
Bill Carlisle, Wyoming Train
RObber, Seriously Wound
ed in Battle.
Gy Associated Press:

By Associated Press:
DOUGLAS. Wyo., Dec. 2.-William
Carlisle, the artful train robber who
for three weeks had laughingly de-
fed civil, railroad and private de-
tectives. was captured Tuesday near
Glend, WyO., after he had been seri-
ously wounded.
The we'll known bandit, who had
secluded himself in the cabin Of
Frank Williams about IS miles from
Douglas, fought desperately the
posse which had been in pursuit, un-
til he fell from his wounds. He was
shot through one lung and doctors
said this might cause his death.
Glad Chase is over.
Suffering from his wounds and be
numbed by the extreme cold, Carlisle
when brought to the Douglas hospi-
tai said:
Il am glad the chase has ended"
Carlisle attracted nationwide in
terest, when, after escaping from the
zen in this state, he held up and rob
bed the passengers on a Los Angeles
limited on No. Is. After that es-
capade, messages purporting 10 be
from him and taunting officials be
cause of their vain efforts to capture
him. were received throughout the
country.
False Report.
1t was reported recently that the
chase had been abandoned. as it was
believed that the prolific bandit had
gone the way of others in Wyoming
into the "Hole-in- the Wall" in the
bad Lands" of the state.
A force Of Union Pacific detectives,
headed by Charles Irwin of Chey-
enne. captured the bandit Irwin al
so had aided in apprehending Car
Isle in 1916 after he had held up a
Union Pacific train near Hanna.

new PHASE TO
SENATE FIGHT
Debate Begun on Knox Res
plutlon Against Combining
League and Treaty.
BITTER CONTEST AHEAD
League Supporters Ready for
istrugels Diselainn Pian
to Filibuster.

Washington June 1.-THE senate
fight over the league of nations en-
tered new phase today with the
beginning of debate on the resolution
of Senator Knox, republican, of
Pennsylvania, a former secretary of
state, proposing that the senate for
mally express unwillingness to accept
the league covenant as it now is in
terwoven with the terms of peace.
The debate is expected to last for
many days and to develop some of
the bitterest passages yet produced
by the treaty fight. League support
ers are ready to fight the resolution
at every step. though they disclaim
any intention to filibuster. Before
the debate began they claimed they
had enough votes to defeat the meas
ure.
Those favoring the resolution de-
clared if it should command the sup
port of more than one-third of the
senate, the result would be to serve
notice that the treaty never could re-
ceive in its present form the two
thirds necessary to ratification. This,
however, was denied by the opposi
ton leaders.
Senator Knox was ready to open
the debate and Senator McCumber,
of North Dakota, another republican
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, expected to make the first
speech in opposition.

CARRANZA BLAMED

Mexieans Claim Shots Fired by PresI-
dents Troops to Invite Trouble.
Ell Paso. Tex, June 17.-CharEes that
Carranza soldiers fired across the Rio
Grande with the deliberate intention of
provoking the entry of American forces
into Juarez were made today by FL Paso
MeXicans. inclined to sympathize with
the Villa cause The MeXicans declared
they had been informed In advance that
the shooting would be done.
In support of their charges the Mex
leans declare that Villas attacking par
ties fired parallel to the river or south
only into Juarez against the federals.
Observers of the fighting at American
bridges say a shower of bullets fell
around them and point out that casual
ties occurred on the north side of the
river from this fire, which did not come
from the direction of the Nillistas.
1t is the opinion of many FL Pasoans
that the military move into Mexico was
a disastrous mistake. Mayor Charles
wired Congressman Hudspeth. of Texas,
saying:
I'VE in FL Paso cannot understand
why only Villa was punished for shoot
ing Unto our city. as we believe Car
ranzistas equally guilty"
JuareZ today is reocCupied by the
Mexican federal troops. and the city is
quiet Authorities are supervising the
burying of the dead.
Business is gradually being resumed.
There is no confirmation OF reports
that federal forces are en- route here to
reinforce the present garrison. II Is not
believed the rebels will attack the city
again.

VILLA ACTIVITIES
CAUSE CONCERN
WASHINGTON LOOKS FOR
MORE COMPLICATIONS.
Order on Border Dependent
on Length of Villas
Life,

Washington, June I'D. N. 81
The beginning of another long Pc
Rod of Mexican complications.
This is what leaders in the house
and senate saw today in the latest
border developments, which resulted
in the pursuit into Mexico and severe
chastisement of Villas forces by
American troops.
Government officials. particularly
those of the state and war depart
ments, were positive that no compli-
cations would arise, but their view
was not shared by those at the capt.
tol. g.
The fear was expressed that the
whole affair is likely to terminate in
on an extensive scale such as has
kept the border afame since the rec
ognition of Carranza.
Villas hatred eliminated once, it
was recalled, in the massacre of
American soldiers and civilians at
Columbus, and so long as the bandit
lives. it is felt that the border will
never be quiet.
There was considerable specula-
ton in official circles today as to
whether President CarranZa will take
official cognZance OF the affair. His
representatives in Washington, Gen.
Aguilar, head of the special Mexi-
can mission, and Charge d'Affaircs
Rejo were kept fully informed at all
times of the action of the American
government. They made no protest,
but nevertheless an expression of dis
approval from CarTanza himself was
considered not unlikely.
