REBEL PARLEY IN U. S. DENIED
Escobar and Governor of Baja California
Us Meeting Secuted.

Ell PASO, Tex, May z O40.-Mexican
federal authorities today denied that
Gov. Abelardo Rodriguez of Baja Cali
fornia had conferred with Jose Gonzalo
Esccbar,. generalissimo of the Inflated
revolutionary army, near ella Bend,
AriZ., last Saturday.
John G. Uhrlaub California ranch
er, reported last, night that EScobar,
former Gov. Fausto Topete of Sonora
and another rebel leader had flown
across the border last Thursday. The
rancher, who said he met the rebel gen.
eral, declared the conference was ar
ranged by an American mining engi-
neer.
United States customs and immigra-
ton officials at Gila Bend said they did
not believe EScobar has entered this
country. They pointed out that for sew
eral weeks they had watched closely
for airplanes from Mexico and that no
such plane as might have brought Es-
cobar across the border had been sight
ed. The terrain surrounding Gila Bend
Is such that plane landing many miles
from the town could be seen.
Commenting on a report that EScobar
is now at ranch between Gila Bend
and Ajo, AriZ., the United States officers
said there were no ranches in the desert
country between the two towns.
Uhrlaub reported that Escobar told
him he would claim the protection of
the United States by "the same right
the Kaiser of Germany claimed that of
Holland at the close of the World War"
He said that after the conference Rod
riguez refused Escobar permission to
enter Baja California.

Johnsonin Hospital,
Asks First to See
Boy Who Lost Leg
Robey Whitfield ElaIed by
CHEEKY Word From
Nationals Manager.

Walter johnson, the "old master" I"
and Robey Whitfield, game youngster,
whose base ball ambitions we're cut
short at the age of IL by the loss OF
his left leg, met this morning in Emer-
gency Hospital, where Washington S
greatest pitcher was taken today for
treatment of a kidney ailment.
Witnesses to the meeting In the boys
room at the hospital looked upon a
strange scene. They saw grizzled vet
eran who has scaled the heights to
fame rest a consoling hand on the
shoulder of a pale-faced youngster
whose youthful hopes were killed before
he had a chance to even start.
wan, sympathetic smile spread over
JohnSon'S face as he gaZed down at the
boy who had hoped that some day he
might tread in the masters footsteps
For a fleeting instant the mans face
clouded.
Both Brighten Up.
But sentiment was not permitted to
dominate.
Good morning, Robey," Walter said

you're sick, too, but I'm sure glad to
meet you. Gee, wish I could pitch
like you!"
We'll, never mind, SON." his new
friend answered with wisdom that

thing we want most there is always

A few more words and "Old Barney
was wheeled away to the room where
he will spend the next few days. Fol-
lowing him down the corridor were the
eyes OF happy boy, his own infirm-
lty forgotten for the moment in the
thrill of dream come true.
johnson arrived at Union Station at
8:45 this morning. He was taken to
the hospital Immediately.
Passed RestfuI Night.
DR.. Harry NJ. kaufman, Johnson's
personal physician, who gave him a
Superncla! examination upon arrival at
the hospital, said that the patients
temperature was about 100 degrees and
that he passed restful night, COM
paratively free from pain, while en-
route from Cleveland to Washington.
ANY statement as to the nature or
seriousness Of JohnSon's illness would
be premature, DR.. kaufman declared,
since time for proper observation Is
necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
DR.. P. G. Boylan of the group of
physicians that for years has attended
the members of the Cleveland Ball
Club said yesterday that the illness of
the Washington manager was due to a
kidney infection similar to that he suf-
fered early last year while he was in
Florida and which kept him from as
suming the active control of the Newark
Club until the International League
season was well under way.
johnson, accompanied by Clark Grif-
fifth, owner of the Washington club ar
rived on scheduled time this morning
over the Pennsylvania Railroad. They
we're met by Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Grifith,
Billy Smith, assistant secretary of the
club, and a small group of personal
friends.
Mrs. johnson reached her husbands
car just as he was being assisted into
a wheel chair. She greeted him with
a kiss and an embrace. Pictures were
taken and the invalid was hurried away
to his waiting machine.

gested that the whole $6,500,000 be in
