 orless And Weak

WASHINGTON June 7.-The house prepared today for it's fight to strike the Borah disarmament amendment from the naval appropriation bill - In sending the bill to conference by vote of 232 to no, Republican lead CTS indicated the house would not have an opportunity to vote. directly on the Borah amendment.
 Instead Representative Mondell, Re publican leader, announced he would advocate acceptance as a substitute of the Porter resolution which would leave in the hands of President Hard ing the question of calling an inter- national disarmament conference.
 While there was sharp difference of opinion on the Borah amendment the house seemed united in it's determine tion not to accept any part of the S9S,- 100000 added to the naval bill by the senate.
 The Porter resolution was attacked by Democrats. Representative Con nally, Texas, clainied it to be a "col- orless, one-half of one per cent prop osition, without teeth or whiskers.'

 iation With Europeans

DENVER, Colo, June 7-The ex. ecutive council of the American Fed eration of Labor has again decided to stand by its announced decision not to affiliate the American labor movement with the International Fed eration of Trade Unions, it was learned tonight.
 While on its way to this city in a special train to attend the annual convention of the federation, which opens next week, the council drafted communication. declining for the second time to heed the European or ganization's appeal for the member ship of American labor.
 The council at it's regular meeting in Cincinnati last month decided to refuse the invitation of the interna- tional but withheld it's reply.
 The new communication, which will be forwarded within the next week will reiterate the councils position that the socialistic program of the international must be modified, the national autonomy of the American federation guaranteed, and the system of dues rdevised, if the American la- Dor movement is to take out affilia- tion.

PERSH|NG TALKS
 FUR PRESIDENT
Says Harding Strongly Favors l. Limitation, But Not Laying
 Down, Of Armament

LINCOLN, Neb., June IT, General John J. Persh:ng. chief of staff of the United States army, declared here to- night before the State League of Wo- men Voters that he prefers limited armament to disarmament and quot ed President Harding as saying that the president had taken steps through diplomatic channels to get things started toward lifting the bur den of excessive armament
 General Pershing said he preferred to take the position between the two extremes of the militarist and the acificist. In view of the large ex- enditures of the war and the heavy war debts in most countries now, it would be advisable that some work able plan should be devised to limit expenditures following the war. Tt would be folly" he said flor Ameri- ca to lay down her arms. A certain amount of armament is necessary. It should not be hard to convince other nations that some steps in limiting armament is advisable"
 If we agree to discuss the matter putting all the cards on the table. we should arrive at some conclusion leading to a decrease in the burden of armament" he continued. 'I be- lieve that public opinion is back of such policy and I think congress is also.
 ''I am authorized by the president to say that if we could secure a con- cord of nations he would be happy to lift the, burden of excessive arma- ment." the general said. He told me that he had taken steps through diplomatic channels to get the thing started with that end In view"

Porter Defends Bill

WASHINGTON, June Tn a re- port to the house today Chairman Por. ter of the foreign affairs committee, declared it was perhaps unnecessary and unwise to repeal the declaration of the state of war with Germany and Austria as proposed in the Knox peace resolution because it might raise the inference that we have disavowed or repudiated the war"
 Annullment of the declaration, the report added, might be construed as a mild apology for our participation therein"
 The resolution approved by the house committee merely provided for termination of the state of war and was presented as a substitute for the Knox resolution, passed by the senate.

 SUSPECT HELD
Matt Keaton Said To Have Confessed; Shows Where
 $l8,000 Was Buried
BAILEY IS QUESTIONED
Former Postmaster Said To Have Also Made State
 ments About Crime

A confession, said to have been made to postal inspectors early yes terday morning by Matt Keaton, of Bakerville. is believed by officers to have practically solved the mystery of the robbery of the local postoffice on the night of April last.
 Developments in the postoffice rob- bery case during the last 36 hours fol low:
 i. Recovery of S18,4So in cur
 rency yesterday morning.
 2. Statements by Keaton that
 the robbery was ''frsme-up" ar
 ranged by Bailey.
 3. Reported confession by Ba-
 ley, held in jail at Tucson, that he
 had a part in the robbery.
 4. Issuance Of federal warrant
 charging Keaton with receiving
 money known to have been stolen
 from the government.
 The taking into custody Of Keaton followed long surveillance by postal authorities. Keaton, recently releas- tN AAOhA hiAt dl Fort Leayenworth where he served a term for violation of the liquor laws, was with Bailey two nights prior to, and on the night of, the postoffice robbery Bailey and Keaton are said to have spent considerable time visit ing Naco, Sonora.
 Keaton's automobile, it is said, was parked in front of the postoffice at the time of the robbery.
 The robbery story, as told by Bailey, is not a new one to local residents.
 Story of Robbery
 On Saturday, April 7. $40,00O in cur rency was received at the local post office. The money, consigned to the Bank of Bisbee, was placed in the postoffice safe.
 The next day Bailey visited the Hua- chqca mountains. Returning in the evening, according to nIs original story. Bailey decided to do some work in the postoffice. At a late hour, Bailey claimed. two men knocked on the door of his office and, when he opened it. covered him with revolvers Bailey said he was forced to open the safe and turn over to the men the s4O,- 900 in currency and about $3OO0 in postal savings funds. Bailey was found the next morning in closet in the postoffice. He claimed to have been beaten and bound by the two bandits.
 Postal inspectors and operatives inn mediately took up the case. The fin ger of suspicion pointed to several persons. One of these was Keaton.
 About one week after the robbery, Bailey was placed under arrest on a federal warrant charging misappropri- ation of postal funds. Bond was fixed at s50,000 Bailey was unable to fur nish this amount and was taken to Tuscon. Bond was reduced to S5,000 but Bailey could not furnish it. Last week evidence was presented to the federal grand jury in Tucson that re-

TREATY E PUT UP TOOBREG0N FUR SIGNATURE
 BY SUMNERL| Guarantee of American Prop erty Rights Is Demanded
 Of New Government POLICY IS ANNOUNCED U. 5. Willing To Help Mexico If Its President Agrees
 To Respect Treaty
POLICY IS ANNOUNCED

WASHINGTON, June 7-The Amer lean government has proposed a treaty of amity and commerce with Mexico, 1t was announced today at the state department. in which Mexico will agree to safeguard the rights of property in that country held by American citizens which attached be- fore the constitution of 1917 was pro mulgated. The signing of the treaty automatically would accomplish rec ognition of the Mexican government.
 Announcement of the adm nistra- tion's policy toward the southern re- public was made after the subject had been discussed at the cabinet meeting. President Harding and his advisers had before them a communi- cation from President Obregon relat- ing to the proposed treaty which was presented to the Mexican president by George T. Summerlin. American charge at Mexico City. on May 27.
 Reply Is Withheld
 The text of Obregon's reply has been withheld. It is understood. how ever, that Obregon referred to the ne gotiations which are proceeding with Summerlin and indicated willing ness to carry them forward. It is known that he has summoned minis ters Gales and De la Huerta, who are reported to have counselled against the signing of such a treaty at a Mexican cabinet conference.
 Secretary Hughes announcement contained no reference to the attitude assumed by President Obregon, but it did say that if Mexico did not con- template a confiscatory policy with regard to property. the American gov ernment could conceive of no possi- ble objection to the treaty"
 It was stated that the proposed treaty contained "the conventional stipulations as to commerce and recip- rocal rights in both countries:" that it provided for the conclusion of a convention for the settlement of claims for losses of life and property. and also provision for a just set clement of boundary matters"
 Statement Published
 The following statement was pub lished:
 The fundamental question which confronts the United States in consid- ering it's relations with Mexico is the safeguarding of property rights against confiscation. Mexico is free to adopt any policy she pleases with respect to her public lands. but she is not free to destroy without compen- sation valid titles which has been ob- tained by American citizens under Mexican laws. A confiscatory policy strikes not only at the interests of. particular individuals, but at the foun- dation of international intercourse. fod it only on the basis of the ss- curity of property. validly possessed under the laws existing at the time of it's acquisition, that commercial between the peoples of two countries and the conduct of ac- tivities in helpful cooperation are pos sible.
 This question should not be con- fused with any matter of personality or of the recognition of any particu-

 More Troops Enroute
 Additional Hoops tonight are on the way from Boulder and vicinity. Trucks, wagons, mules, drivers and equipment have been ordered from 1 Fort D. A. Russell, at Cheyenne, and from Fort Sam Houston, Tex. Knowl- | edge that congressional aid is assured has given new air of confidence.
 The military order compelling all able bodied men to work has brought out an army of laborers. They have been unloading trucks of food and carrying blankets for refugees.
 The city has been remarkably free | from lawlessness under the circum- stances. Only a few arrests have been made for footing Occasional shots have been fired, but the only fatality from this source occurring last night, was not from the gun of any members of the night patrol. according to careful investigation made by the | military authorities under the direct supervision of Adjutant General Pat rick J. Hamrock

 The weapons and ammunition of each guard was inspected and show ed that no shot had been fired from any of their guns. Every cartridge is- sued to each man was counted before the men went on guard and every cartridge was found unused after the tragedy, according to Capt. H. O. Nichols, adjutant to Lieut. Col Paul Newton. commander
 Withers' son Vollie. who was with his father in the automobile at the time, declared the shot came imme- diately after a command had come to halt, but Captain Nichols found that there was no patrol on the corner where the shooting took place and the only general patrol was account ed for in another section. The near est patrol to the zone was one sta toned at the First Baptist church, in which is located the temporary offices of The Associated Press and he had called upon an Associated Press rep resentative Go investigate the shoot
