 Go Free When Colonel Erwin
 Is Told They Have Too Big AStart On U. s. Horsemen

FL PASO, Texas, Aug. 23.-The pursuit by the Seventh cavalry troops of Mexican cattle thieves, who raided ranch on the American side of the line late yesterday afternoon driving stolen stock into Mexico, was ordered abandoned late today by Brigadier General James B. Erwin, district commander, following the re- ceipt of a report from Col. Francis w. Glover, chief-of-staff, who was order ed to Fabens early today, that the chase was useless.
 The bandits had a start of twelve hours on the American troops and their trail was lost by the Americans near the border.
 "The mission for which the troops were ordered into Mexico could not be accomplished" General Erwin said late today, in announcing the with drawal of the soldiers. "There was no chance to recover the stock and punish the thieves because of the time that had elapsed since the raid took place, so I have ordered the troops to return to the American side of the line.

WITNESS SEES
 MEAT PACKERS
 ASPERSECUTED
Says U.. s. Trade Commission
 Willful or Ignorant In Its
 DenunCiation of Packers; All Oppose Federal Regulation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. - Re- frigerator car operations of the five big packers were defended today be- fore the senate agricultural commit tee, which is considering the Ken yon and Kendrick bills for regulating the packing industry, and the separa- tion from it of the operation of such cars.
 c. B. Heinemann, representing the National Livestock exchange, said that they were not the source of di- crimination against wholesale groc- CTS, and other packer competitors He characterized the denunciation by the federal trade commission and others of the effects of packer ownership of the cars as "willful misrepresenta- tion, or demonstrations of bissful ignorance"
 MT. Hinemann was preceded on the stand by series of retailers, pro ducers and others who all had objec- tions to make to the regulating bills.
 The witness went into the details of methods of organizing a "peddler car route," by which small lots of packers products are distributed to smaller points throughout the United States.
 "The only thing that could be ac- complished by abolishing these would be shortening the supply at number less places" he said.
 G. O. Virtue, examiner for the fed eral trade commission, secured per. mission to question the witness fur. ther.
 "It is true that at certain points in the southwest the peddler cars work out better freight rates for their own than do ordinary freight cars, is nol it?" Virtue asked
 "Yes, but that's the fault of rne jobbers, who don't know their busi. ness" Heinemann immediately re- sponded There are no privileges the other wholesalers can't obtain by working out the same system"

 Water holes are reported more ire quently since the expedition has reached the present part of the zone of operations It is believed possible to obtain forage now and some beef. The distance is getting too great for pack mules to negotiate.
 Reports received from Cosme Ben goecza, Mexican consul at Presidio, Texas, stated that General Antonio Pruneda with a cavalry column which left Ojinaga, after the American troops crossed, was marching toward Coyame.
 The columns have been at Cucillo ParadP for three days. Coyame is five miles from the Conchos river, 75 miles from the border. It is reported that Carranza troops are stationed in that vicinity.
 STILL ON HOT TRAIL Reports from the field in Mexico early today indicated the bandits were in the mountains and that the trail had ceased to be hot.
 Later COlOnol LdHSnOru0 dHHOuIlC- ed. Progress continues to be made in pursuit of the bandits and we still are on their trail"
 This was regarded as assurance, that the expedition was considered still to be pursuing a hot trail.
 FIFTH NIGHT IN CAMP
 Camping tonight on a Mexican trail far in the interior of Mexico, American troops of the punitive expe- dition are spending their fifth night across the border While their loca- ton was unrevealed for military req sons, it is known, the expedition is marching west of the Conchos river with a mountain range of one side and two ranges, one above another on the left.
