“WASHINGTON WAITS MEETING BETWEEN SCOTT AND OBREGON (Continued From First Page.) reported that the movements of the de facto government troops are con- tinuing. Official information places the number of those in and about Tor- reon at about 20,000. Military estl- ..mates of troops in Sonora are approx imately 15,000, while another 5,000 are in the State of Chihuah Failure by Gen. Obregon to convince Gen, Scott of the soundness of his diplomatic arguments could be fol- lowed, army men here asserted, by a very practical use of this combined force. Obregon’s Police Plans, El Paso, Tex., April 25.—Assurances that the de facto government of Me: ico is prepared to cope with Villa bands in northern Chihuahua are ex- pected to be made by Gen. Alvaro Obregon, minister of of the Car- ranza government at his conference with Major Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army. Gen. Obregon it was learned in Mex jgan official circles here today, will re- veal his plans for policing the north- ern country in detail with the hope that they will prove acceptable to Gen. Scott. Should the plans be deemed adequate by Gen. Scott, who will report to Washington on the de facto government will again renew its request to the American government, that its troops be withdrawn from Mexico That several elapse before the war weeks at least will troops are with- drawn from Mexico appears evident from the amount of food and forage sent south from the Columbus base. Supplies sufficient to last from thirts to thirty-five days are mow at the front. General Pershing also Te- ceived sufficient clothing and shoes to completely re-outfit his men. All of the 2,300 troops ordered to Columbus to reinforce the line of communications have arrived at their destination. American Force Marks Time. El Paso, Tex., April 25.—Interest in the entire Mexican situation had nar- rowed here today to the forthcoming conference between General Obregon, (arranza’'s minister of war, and Gen- era] Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army. With the American expeditionary force practically concentrated at two Isolated points, near Namiquipa and at Colonial Dublan, where it is mark- ing time pending the diplomatic ex- changes between Washington and Gen. Garranza, the pursuit of Villa has ased to be a main factor. It is.only seven months ago ' that General Scott came to this city to meet Villa, now a fugitive, then the possible “coming man” of Mexico. In Obregon he will meet a very different type of man, according to those here who know Carranza's minister of war. 3, Obregon is described as one of the ablest men in Mexico. He is said to be an accomplished diplomatist, with a real grasp of international affairs. His reputation as a soldier is high and he is credited by his friends, among whom are many Americans, with being very influential in the af- fairs of the de facto government. It is not expected here that the con- ference can take place before a week at least. In normal times it took more than three days to make the trip from Mexico City to Juarez and no such time can be made under existing con- ditions. The Mexican Central railroad, which runs direct from the capital to Juarez has been completely wrecked between Aguascalientes and Torreon. This means a trip of anywhere from five to eight days. Quiet in Interior. Every report from the interior dur- ing the last few d indicates that absolute quiet prevails in the terri- togy through which the American troops are strung. The Mexicans, like the Americans, appear to be waiting for the outcome of the diplomatic ne- gotiations. As far as the Mexican of- cials in Juar are concerned, while they are obviously impatient for the withdrawal of the American forces, they preserve the same courtesy tow- mpds Americans as has characterized their attitude since the United States goldiers crossed the border. At the same time they are emphatic in their opinion that delay in the recall of the expedition intensifies what is admit- tedly a very delicate situation.

When gncricun troops appeared in Parral her chance came. She is said to have appeared in the plaza and to have in- dlted the Mexicans to make the at- tack on the “Gringoes.

REMODEL MURDER HOUSE. Parsonage in Which Rev. Joseph Zebris Was Murdered to Be Occupied, Those in charge of St. Andrew’: Lithuanian parish have made plans for the remodelling and subsequent occupation of the famous ‘“murder” house adjacent to the church on Stanley streeet. Thomas W. Crowe has been awarded the contract for the remodelling of the house and $3,000 will be expended. Since the diabolical murder of Rev. Joseph Zebris and Miss Eva Gil- manaitis, his housekeeper, a little more than a year ago, the house has Leen closed. The new pastor, Rev. Edward V. Grik: preferred to secure # tenement elsewhere than amidst the grewsome surroundings which would tend to constantly remind him of the bloody scenes enacted there. It is presumed that after the place has been thoroughly renovated and re- modelled it will be occupied by the rastor. one-year old son of William B. Os- den of 247 Lasolle street, died last evening. The funeral will be held to- morrow afternoon and burial will be in the New Hartford cemetery. NGLISH EXCITED.

ENGLAND’S EMBARGO| A FORGED EXCUSE Brandegee Protests Against Meas- ure Aimed Against Red Cross (Special to the Herald.) Washington, April 24.—Scnator Brandegee of Connecticut presented to the senate and had inserted in the Congressional Record a telegram from Prof. Yandell Henderson of Yale uni- versity protesting against the alleged British blockade against Red Cross supplies destined to Germany and Austria. The body of the telegram was as follow: “Red Cross has just issued circular announcing British government re- fuses to pass Red Cross supplies for central powers. Would beg that you will protest in the senate against vir- tual overthrow of Geneva principles and will not tacitly allow Red Cross to be used as aid for one side only.” After presenting the telegram Sena- tor Brandegee said: “Mr. president, I am not particular- ly familiar with any order that Great Britain may have made prohibiting the supplies of the Red Cross from reaching the central powers. I think I remember to have seen in one of the newspapers the other day that such action had been taken and it was claimed by the British authorities that it was done, if I recall the reading cor- rectly,, because of fear on their part that some of these hospital supplies might be used for war purposes. It seemed to me at the time that that was a somewhat forced excuse. I had upposed hitherto that supplies to re- lieve the suffering of wounded soldiers could be sent into any country by the Red Cross, and I assumed that it was recognized by all belligerents that the Red Cross was sent upon an errand of mercy. 1 do not know what supplies the Red Cross is sending in that could be used for war purposes to any ex- tent. I conceive that what cotton or chemicals they use for hospital pur- poses would not go very far in main- taining attacks about Verdun at least. Not knowing any more about it than I do I am not prepared to say any- thing more about it. I have presented the telegram, and it will appear in the Record, hoping that the attention of the state depart- mnt may be drawn to the subject.” Tilson on Agriculure, Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut has been participating in the de- bate on the agricultural appropriation bill in the house. He brought out-that part of a $65,000 appropriation car- ried by the bill for combating insects affecting tobacco and other *‘soffthern field crops” would be avai for studies of such insects injyring the tobacco crop of Connecticugf The bill contemplates important dgfnonstration work against the tobacg$ horn worm. Again, a question he asked Repre- sentative Moore of Pennsylvania elicited the information that the fed- eral government is co-operating with Connecticut and other states experi mentally in investigating the mos quito. Mr. Moore had offered an amendment to the bill to provide for fighting the mosquito with the help of Uncle Sam’'s money. He was compli- mented by Representative McLoughlin of Michigan on his success in getting an anti-mosquito provision in the riv- er and harbor bill. “I believe,” said McLaughlin, “by his persuasive eloquence he could bet a mosquito amendment on the migra- tory bird law to take care of the mig- ratory mosquito. “The intertate commerce law has been made to do duty in everything else,”” said Tilson. “Might he not use that?"” “Ividently a good way to take care of mosquitos has been found,” replied McLaughlin. Then the colloquoy continued as follows: Mr. Tilson. One trouble is that the mosquitoes refuse to respect state lines; they do not hesitate at all to go from one state which may eradi- cate a part of them into another state which has no means to eradicate them at all Mr. Mann. Forbid them by law. Mr. McLaughlin. Well, the gentle- man will have to have something like the migratory-bird law. I can - not think of anything better. The remedy suggested is as reasonable as the question which the gentleman asked. Later Mr. Tilson suggested that it might be better for the department of agriculture to pay a bounty for the predatory animals killed in the na- tional forests instead of hiring hunt- ers at a regular salary to attend to the animals. Representative Mondell of Wyoming said that the hiring plan was considered best by the depart- ment, as state and counties pay boun- ties. Representative Madden of Illi- laried hunters might loaf on the job and grow fat, and he reminded the house that “a fat dog will not hunt.” a TAKE DUTCH SHIP. Take Off Mail, Baggage and Passengers.
