Marathon, Tex., May 17.—United Btates soldiers have rescued Jesse Deemer, the American storekeeper captured by Mexican raiders on Glenn Springs and Boquillas, according to a man named Terry, who arrived here today. aid the soldiers entered a vil- miles in the interior of Mex- ico and the bandits rushed out leaving Deemer and a captive negro named Monroe Payne. Payne and Deemer are being brought back to Texas, Ter- ry said. San Antonio, Tex., May 17.—The rescue by the American soldiers of Jesse Deemer and the negro cook, Monroe Payne, carried off as prison- ers by the bandits that raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas, was reported to Major Gen. Funston today. Ten Chinese Merchants Killed. Columbus, N. M., May 17.—Stories of the murder of ten Chinese mer- chants at San Antonio, Mexico, by bandits believed to have been follow- ers of Villa, were brought to the bor- der today by returning truckmen. According to the stories, the Chinese had been selling supplies to the Amer- ijcans and were killed immediately aft- er the withdrawal of the American troops Mexicans in the district occupled by the Americans have been warned that they would be killed if they dealt with the Americans and it is believed here that the slaughter of Chinese was in- tended as a warning to the native pop- ulation. Rumors that typhus had broken out among Mexicans at Casas Grandes were received at the base camp. It was said that several stores were closed but no cases among Americans were known New Pistols Effective Weapon. Field Headquarters, May 8, by army motor train to Columbus, N. M., May 17.—The high mortality of Mexican ‘bandits in the Ojo Azules fight May 15, when Major Howze's command killed fifty-five Villa bandits, was credited by officers here today in part to the effectiveness of the new army automatic forty-five caliber pistol. In former types of army pistols, the men found that each weapon was a trifle off from absolute accuracy on account of gas in the chamber, so that in shooting at a bulls eye it was neces- sary to aim a little to the right or left, according to the bias of the particular guns. The new pistols shoot point blank at more than a hundred yards. The briefest report of the fight was that brought back to the advanced base by Sergeant Chicken, the oldest of the twenty Apache Indian scouts. No one with this expedition seems to know Sergeant Chicken’s age, which is estimated variously at from seventy to ninety. He was in the van during the pistol battle, where his experiences were sald to be thrilling. When urged to tell what he knew, Sergeant Chicken said: “Him damn fine fight.” Further details he refused to close. dis- Washington Genuinely Relieved. Washington, May 17.—Genuine lief over the Mexican situation was evident in administration circles to- day. The principal cause was the as- surance conveyed to President Wilson and his cabinet yesterday through Sec- retary Baker that the Carranza gov- ernment now is convinced the United States has no intention of intervening in Mexican politics, and that conse- guently resentment against the puni- tive expedition is rapidly decreasing. General Scott, chief of staff of the army, brought this word to Secretary Baker from his conference at El1 Paso with Gen. Obregon war minister for the Carranza govenment. Among the promises made by Obregon with the approval of Carranza at the conclu- sion of the conference were thes: “Ten thousand selected Mexican troeps were to patrol the territory about Parral, the southernmost lo- cality from which American troops are being withdrawn, and to search diligently for Villa or his bandits. “A strong Mexican force was to try to capture the Glenn Springs and Boquillas raiders in the Big Bend dis- trict. “No Mexican troops were moved from Sonora State re- ‘to be through (Continued On Eleventh Page.) MONROE EXPECTED TO HEAD I O. O. F. Only One Contest, That For Warden, Anticipated At Grand Lodgc Mecting Today. New Haven, May 15.—The grand lodge of Connecticut, Independent Or- der of Odd Fellows, held its annual session here today with declegates present from the 92 lodges in the state, representing a total member- ship of more than 24,000. Most of the morning session was given up to presentation of reports and commit- tee work, election of officers coming in the afternoon. It was expected that F. Henry Mon- roe of New Haven would be chosen grand master in succession to Robert T. W. Adams of Naugatuck. George M, Chapman of Waterbury, the grand warden, also will be promoted. A contest for grand warden was thought likely as several seek the honor of being grand master three years hence when the order will observe its 100th anniversary and an election as grand warden this session would mean, in all likelihood, that the recipient of the honor would attain the chief of- fice in that year. Re-election of Wil- liam S. Hutchinson as grand secretary and Sidney W. Challenger as srand treasurer were expected. CLOUDBURSTS FLOOD NORTHERN NEW YORK Rochester Is Immersed and Part of Erie Canal Bank Goes Out. Y., May 17—Thou- damage had been done in Rochester and vicinity by heavy rains and cloudbursts of the past forty-eight hours. Street cave-ins occurred in various parts of the city, hundreds of cellars are flooded, trains on branches of the New York Cen- tral and Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts- burgh are still held up by washouts and service on both urban and in- terurban lines more or less disrupted. Flood conditions also developed on the Erie Canal and the Genesee river rose three feet. With the cessation of the downpour early this morning conditions wre expected to improve, although the flood of water up the valley will send the river higher and the crest may not be reached until tomorrow. Sixty feet of the Erie Canal bankment near Mount Morris went out last night, causing the cancella- tion of train service on the Erie he- tween that town and Rochester. The Delaware, Lackwanna and western tracks between Mount Morris and Cleveland and the Pennsylvania tracks between Mount Morris and Piffard are under water and traflic has been abandoned. A cloudburst at Brockport caused considerable damage.

Waukegan, Ill, May 17.—Selection of a jury in the trial of W. H. Orpet, University of Wisconsin student, charged with the murder of Marian Lambert, his former sweetheart, is proving a difficult task.

London, May 17, 4:32 p. m.—Sir Roger Casement and Daniel J. Bailey were committed for bigh treason. Bailey Wanted to Inform. ‘When the case was re-opened today Constable Carter of the Royal Constabulary recalled for cross examination at the request of the de- fense. The trend of the questions in- dicated that at the time of his arrest Bailey attempted unsyccessfully to give information to the police in re- gard to the projected uprising. Carter was asked whether he had heard Railey say after his arrest that he had a statement for the authorities and that an officer should be sent for. The constable responded that he did not hear this, but that at another time he did hear Bailey s: “I have im- portant information which will give you police something to do.” A Russian Dcolonel, Nicholas Bel- aiew, who is in this country on spe- clal work for his government, identi- fled the rifle produced in court ye terday, which was taken by a.diver from the wreck of the German steam- ship Aud, as one made in the Rus- sian Poula works in 1915.

WILSON SENDS REPLY T0 BENEDICT Understood to Say He Is Anxious to Avoid War PEACE QUESTION UNTOUCHED Ncither Message Said to Deal More Than Remotely With Bringing Ku- ropean War to End—Letter From Kaiscr May Be On Way. Washington, May 17.—President Wilson has replied to the message sent by Pope Benedict, in which the pope expressed the earnest hope that war between the United States and Germany would not be precipitated by the submarine issue and conveyed the impression that he hoped the United States might be of assistance ultimately in restoring peace in Europe. The reply of the president was conveyed through Mon- signor Bonzano, the apostolic dele- gate here, who delivered the pope's { message at the White House. White House officials refused today ! the | to discuss the pope’s message or reply of the president, but in other quarters it was indicated ) that the exchange of messages had only remotely to do with the guestion of peace in Europe. Wilson Eager to Avoid War. The president is understood to ha informed the pope that he was ver; eager to keep the United States out o the war and would do everything pos- sible consisient with maintaining the honor and right of the United States.
