GENERAL WALKOUT F
 PLACES OF STRIKERS
 ARE FILLED BY ROAD
DELIVERS ULTIMATUM TO NEW HAVEN OFFICIALS-WTLL CALL A GENERAL STRIKE IF PLACES OF
 ELECTRIC WORKERS ARE FILLED.

New York, Aug. 23-A threat to call a general strike on the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad if non-union men are employed to replace striking motormen and con- ductors on the New York, Bos- ton and WeStchester railroad, an electric line subsidiary to the New Haven road. was made today by officials of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engi- neers and the Brotherhood On Railway Trainmen who are conducting the strike.
 The general strike threat followed announcement by the company that It would employ ''outs!de workers if necessary in order to resume opera ton on the road, which had been tied up since Thursday, and insertion in newspapers of advertisements call ing for men to replace the strikers.
 This morning no effort had been made to restore service. The walkout occurred after the company which re- gently granted a 25 per cent. wage in- crease, refused to meet further de- mands for d 30 per cent raise. The motormen, in asking for higher pay. asserted they were entitled to as much as engineers on steam roads.
 Officials of the New Haven road de- clined to comment on the general strike threat.

Mexico City, Friday, Aug. 22-Luis Carbaresa, Secretary of the Treasury, stated in an interview that the Mexi- can and American governments shoud sign an agreement for a recip- rocal border guard service as q step toward preventing clashes between the two countries.
 Ygnacio Bonillas. Mexican ambas- sador at Washington. according to Senor Cabrera, would be "eminently fitted" for conducting negotiations with this object The difficulties which prevented the adoption of such an agreement at Atlantic City in 1916 were due to the fact hat the American delegation wanted the agreement signed immediately. he said, while .he Mexican commission held out for a withdrawal of the Pershing expedition before reaching an agreement Senor Cabrera point ed out that st present such a difficulty would not be met with. since the early withdrawal of the Eighth cavalry. now pursuinZ bandits in the state of Chihuahua, was expected

CANNOT LOCATE CAR THAT HELD
 MURDER VICTIM

The Packard automobile which is being sought by the police of Bridge port and other cities as one of the most valuable clues in connection with the murder of the Italian whose body was found in the bushes near the Post road in Milford, last Wednesday morning, has not yet been located. A vigorous search is being made for the death car'' in every city and town in this vicinity. and unless the machine has been taken to some distant place it Is hoped that its whereabouts will soon be discovered.
 Aside from the automobile clue, which was given to the police by two men who claim to have seen the car near the spot where the body was found, the police seem to be no nearer a solution of the mystery than they were last Wednesday when the body was discovered. The police are still on the trail however. and new devel- opments are expected at any time.
 One report has 1t that the sign of a cross was slashed across the dead mans face, this giving rise to the be lief that the victim may have met his fate at the hands of members of a certain gang of killers. The police are inclined to doubt this story. however, inasmuch as the mans face was Sc badly mutilated that it Is practically impossible to distinguish any definite mark on the countenance.
 Photographs of the dead man have been taken. and these will be sent out broadcast in hope that someone may recognize the victim.

POLICE ROUGH UNNECESSARILY
 SAY STRIKERS

After a conference with Attorney Finkelstone representing Sam Lavit and the Graphophone strikers the police officials changed their minds and issued a permit for the meeting of Lodge No. 30, at Colonial hall last night.
 The strikers today expressed great indignation at the actions of the po- lice when they drove the strikers from the neighbornood of Colonial hall after the refusal to allow them to meet.
 The claim is made that the police were unnecessarily rough and acted as though they were trying to create trouble when instead of notifying the strikers that there would be no meeting they charged amoong them and pushed men and women into the street and threatened to use their clubs if they did not move faster.
 Legal proceedings will b. instituted by Lavery & Finklestone to enjoin the police from interfering with any future meetings.

BANDIT CROWD

Gang Reported Safe In Mountains As Trail
 Has Grown Cold.
PURSUIT TO-DAY
 IS CONTINUED

Maria. Texas, Aug. 23-Pur- suit of Mexican bandits by the American punitive expedition is continuing south from the point in Mexico where an American camp has been es- tablished, it was announced to- day. The trails are not con- sidered "hot" however, as the bandits have reached the mountain fastnesses and it is feared have escaped.
 Major General Joseph T. Dickman. commander of the southern depart after familiarizing himself with the details of the punitive expedition. Before leaving the General said an effort would be made to pay the ban dits the $6,500 remaining of the ran som money for the aviators.
 The possibility of using bombs in wiping out the bandits developed with the arrival of aerial bombs for ex- perimental purposes and an an nouncement that these might be used if a bandit force should be found in any considerable numbers.
 Reports that the expeditionary forces would be withdrawn at an early date had no foundation, Gen. Dickman saying the expedition would remain in Mexico as long as they were following a hot trail. There was no expectation of the rescin ding of the order for additional troops to support the punitive expedition.
