WARNED AGAINST MEXICO
San Antonio Employers of Americans
in Republic Semi-Officially Ad-
vi«ed to Withdraw Them.
Indicating the fc rowing tenseness of the
situation in Mexico, Sau Antonians phv
ploying Americans In Mexico received
semi-official instructions yetterday from
Washington to recall the employes at otlCP
It was intimated they would be in dan-
ger if they remained in the disrupted
republic longer than a few days necessary
for them to get out. .
Washington irmy official* are taking a
graver view of possibilities, or probabili-
ties, now than for some time. It is known
conditions are developing that apparently
cacont be prevented. I liese consist part-
ly of Mexican army officials of low and
middle rank agitating the peons nnd rcHis
lne their fear of American invasion The
presence of Pershing's troops In lexlio
is a condition which, Carrancistas assert,
is likely to precipitate fighting any day.
Apprehension Is felt in Wc.shlnijton !h*
the present state of affairs—the peaceful
occupation cannot endure, and that when
an "overt act" occurs a great .nnJagta-
tion will be started with Americans in
Mexico the sufferers. The "overt a1'1]*

It 'Is understood the San Antonio em-

action at once to get their people north

SO FIGHT FROM BRYAN.
William ,T. Bryan does not expect to pre-
cipitate any fight on the party platform.
That was the Information brought here to-
nfgbt. by a Close friend of the former Sec-
retary of State. Mr. Bryan Is expected
here'late tonight or tomorrow, when Sen-
ator Ollie .Tames of Kentucky, President
Wilson's choice for permanent chnlrmau;

Senator Stone, who is to be the chair-
man of the committee on resolutions Issued
a statement this afternoon In which he
characterised the nomination of Justice
Hngbes by the Republican party as in ev-
ery way bad and vicious.
"I am Inclined to the opinion that it
would be Wise to so amend the Constltu-.
ton of the United States as to make a
Justice of the Supreme Court ineligible
to anv political office while a member of
that court or for a period of five years
following his retirement therefrom."
Senator Stone's pronouncement was gen-
erally taken to mean here by leaders that
the "Democratic party would probably
make a party Issue aglnst Justice Hughes
on the ground of bis nomination to the
presidency while on the Supreme Court
Bench Other leaders, however, were not
inclined to press this issue, recalling that

bv Mexican bandits yesterday and com
pelted by them to ride Into Cactus, this
county, last night, carrying a red revolu-
tion flag and «\an of kerosene oil with
which it was Intended to burn tho railroad

formed about midnight In Laredo and rush
lug to Webb, twenty one miles north of

bandits. *
Mendez Informed Deputy Sheriff Jack
Ilill of Webb that the band of Mexican
bandits were coming to Webb with the
avowed intention of burning tlie railroad
bridge and depredating. Hill communi-
cated the news to Laredo by telephone at
about 11 o'clock last night and a DOISe
composed of Texas stockmen, who know
every niche of the woods about Webb, was
immediately formed and rushed to the
scene in autos.
At about 1 this morning three of the
bandits appeared and were in the act of
pouring kerosene on the railroad bridge at
Webb when they were halted and taken
prisoners by stockmen hidden in the brush.
These three bandits were nrought to La
redo • early this morning and placed in
Jail and made a full confession to Pis
trlct Attorney Vails, in which they gave
their names as Captain Norberto Pexzar,
an officer of Carranza's army; Antonio
Cuevas and Simon Soils, members of Car-
ranza's army. All confessed they were un
der command of a man named Lieutenant
Colonel Villarenl, an officer of the Car
rancistas. At 8 o'clock this morning the
stockmen's posse had a running fight with
a gang of bandits six miles west of Cac-
tus and in this the posse killed three of
the bandits. All of the dead men were
attired in the uniform of the Carrancistas
and oue of them is said to have had an
order in his pocket signed by Carranza
officers.
This afternoon oue of the bandits In
jail here was taken to the scene and Iden-
tified the dead men as members of the De

proiftised to run down this bandit and
puuish him.
This afternoon Antonio Carbajal resid-
ing at Webb on a ranch, wa§ killed by
members of the posse, but details of the
killing are lacking tonight. Posses of
stockmen spent all day scouring the woods
in the vicinity of Cactus in quest of ban-
dits and tonight a strong force is on guard.
Trook K, Fourteenth Cavalry, Is on pa
trol duty, and pursued bandits through-
out the day, while a motor truck loaded
with a company of the Ninth Infantry,
which was rushed to Webb last night, is
still on duty.

Love's Arbitration
Proposal Turned Down
Continued from Page One.
tnnn. Prominent Democrat* admitted to-
day that the refu*nl of Roosevelt to ae.
cent tlie I't'ogreKslve nomintitlor and the
rapid disn|ipe!iritncc of inltnrmony among
Hopublieatiri presented m situation fraught
with peril for Democracy.
President Wilson personally Is inclined
to remain In rather dignified seclusion,
receiving delegations and making speeches
on special occasions only. But he hat*
yielded to the importunities of tlioso who
realize tho need of a more aggressive cam-
r'"nie Republicans are planning for whirl-
wind fights In which their candidate will
he the central figure. President \Vll«nn
has been told ho must follow and personal-
ly reply before the electorate to the as-
saults that will be made. The Democratic
campaign will be the nest strenuous since
the first Bryan fight of 1M>0.
Democrat leaders concede that it will
take energetic efforts to placate the <,er-
mnu and Irish vote. The Herman vote Is
about 10 per cent normally Democratic,
and the Irish almost entirely so. The
Herman vote has resented the alleged pro-
Hritish policy of the Administration. Po-
litical exigencies may compel the Issuance
.if a sharper protest to tlreHt Britain.

are not violently pro British This ele-
ment has severely criticized the President
f ,r not dealing with England as firmly
as he has with the central powers. '1 he
antagonism of the Irish-American sent!
men! has become more pronounced since
the Dublin revolution.
Direct wire eomtnunien!ion between the
St Louis convention hall and Democratic
headquarters in that city and the White
House were made today. Nothing will
lie (lone without the President's approval.

Mexico, to remove tie' stigma of Repub-

"I see Mr Hughes takes a running Jump
at the President's policy. Well, perhaps
President Wilson will get busy before long
and rob bitn of that issue." ,
President Wilson has not Intimated
whom he will appoint to the Supreme
Court vacancy.
Progressive Republicans in Washington
are endorsing the nomination of Hughes.
Senator Norrls of Nebraska, one of the
most radical, came out unreservedly to-
day for Hughes.

ber rf the Progressive National commit-

ered Hughes a staunch Progressive and
he could see no reason why every Pro-
gressive should not support him.

Dr. Jordan will, in the next few months,
retire as chancellor of the Leland Stan-
ford rniverslty. At the age of 05 all
members of the eti.ff of that institution
are automatically retired on a pension,
and as soon as he reaches the age limit,
which, he savs, will be within a very short
time, he will become chancellor emeritus.
Aurelia P. Bennal. charged with peonage,
after ;i trial exte/ding over several days,
vesterdav ufrern#o'n at 2 .r.O o'clock, after
having been found guilty by the Jury, was
sentctned by Judge (Jordon Russell of the
Federal District rourt, to two years and
<1\ months in the Federal prison at Me-
Alester, ok la.
The woman, of Mexican descent and
somewhat past middle age, stood before the
Judge in order to hear the verdict. She
was attired in a suit of broad pale blue
and white stripes with a hat to match.
Her face was haggard.
Because the prisoner could understand
no English the assistance of an interpre-
ter was necessary in order to inform her
of her punishment. Assistant District At-
torney Hugh Kobert.son performed the
duty.
Immediately upon hearing the verdict the
woman broke into a whimper, which grew
in volume as the realization of what, the
prison term would mean dawned upou her.
She tore her hat from her head and dis-
heveled her hair. Deputy Marshal J. L.
Dlbrell grasped her firmly by the arm, and
assisted by one or two other court at
taches, conducted her out of the court-
room.
The woman will be kept In the county
Jail until arrnogfinents < an be made for her
removal to the McAlester prison.
