SEATTLE TRAGEDY Mrs. Blanche Harpole, Formerly of Omaha, Found with Her Throat Cut. DAUGHTER OF A. GROSEVENOR Mrs. Blanche Harpole, 27 years old, | formerly of Omaha, was found deadi in a| yesterday in her apartment Seattle hotel, her throat cut by a knife, according to dispatches re- | ceived in this city. John Soudas, a cigar store owner, is | under arrest in connection with the investigation. Jewelry worth $400 and $40 in cash were tound in Mrs. Har-| pole’s room, the advices stated. vole was Miss Blanche daughter of Arthur Grosvenor, an ! »mploye of the Omaha & Council i 3luffs Street Railway company. She left Omaha about six years ago, but had visited here a couple of times since then. A telegram received by the Gros- venor family told of the tragedy.

The Mexican officers said they had captured twenty men be- lieved to have been engaged in the at- tack on the American camp. May Call More Guardsmen. ) Practically all available regulars of the United States army, including many coast artillery men, already are on the border or in Mexico and the National guards of Texas, Arizona patrol duty. The guardsmen of other states were notified some weeks ago to be prgpared to respond if it should become necessary to call them out. It was learned today that consider- able correspondence has been ex- changed between the department and « the governors and adjutants general of various states relative to the new status given the guardsmen under the Hay-Chamberlain army organization bill, which becomes effective July 1. The messages are presumed to have caused recurrent reports that the en- ure force of the National guard was being prepared for active service. { Mexican embassy officials said they had not been informed of any mes- sage sent by Trevino and that ex- amination of what purported to be the text of the warning was sufficient proof that it either was a badly garbled translation or a fabrication. Funston Ready to Act. » San Antonio; June 17.—General ) Funston and his staff gave careful at- I ‘ tention today to the activities of out- \aw bands along the Mexican border, but far greater interest” was displayed in the attitude being assumed by the troops of the de facto government, r General Parker at Brownsville, Texas, made a brief report of the lat- est manifestation of outlawry, near San Benito, and General Mann re- ported the continuation of the search for bandits that raided the cavalr; camp at San Ignacio, but it was evi- dent at department headquarters that greater significance was attached to the doings of Carranza’s troops than to those of the bandit leaders. General Ricaut's warning that the crossing of the international bound- ary by any American troops for any cause whatever would be regarded as an overt act, and would be the cause sfor an attack by the de facto govern- ment troops, did not disturb General Funston or his staff. The search for bandits will continue and whenever a “hot trail” is found leading into Mexi- Previous to her marriage Mrs. Har- | Grosvenor, | and New Mexico are in service for | It is betfeved that Mrs. Finley Shep- ard, the former Helen Miller Gould, | is about to adopt two children, a byo and girl, to keep Finley J.

The officers in charge of | the border have authority to cross the border without waiting for spe- cial instructions. Hear Declaration of War. General Funston’s army of almost 50,000 has been so disposed along the Mexican border that swift punitive ac- tion could be taken. General Tre- vino's threat to attack General Persh- ing if the American troops move east or west or south was regarded by army officers here as little less than a_declaration of hostilities by the Mexlc:ns. since it may be necessary at an punitive expedition to send small de- tachments in pursuit of outlaw bands. Precautions taken by General Bell at El Paso last night in holding all the American troops ready for action, were similar to those taken at every border point opposite which there was any considerable number of Car- ranza troops. General Greene at Eagle Pass and General Mann at Laredo also prepared to move quick- ¥ | ly in case of eventualities, but at those points_less activity op the Mexican side of the river was displayed. The garrison at Fagr Pass was strengthened last night by the arrival of the Thirtieth infantry. " Three com- panies of the coast artillery, now on their way south, will go directly to Laredo. If the request of General Funston for more militia—his request has never been withdrawn—is granted, the state troops will be di- vided along the border stations. The arrival at Laredo today of Philip Hanna, consul general at Mon- terey, - developed the fact that the time for the leader of the big | State department ordered both him and J. R. Silliman, consul at Saltillo, to the American side of the river. The withdrawal of these two consular of- ficers will leave the American gov- ernment with no consular representa- tives at interior points in Mexico, ex- cept an agent at Mexico City. Carranza Troops Move Northward. Laredo, Tex., June 13.—Due prob- ably to the ugllancc of Texas rang- ers and the military patrol, the report- ed raid of Mexican bandits at Islitas, twenty-five miles northwest of hrrc. eafly this morning, did not material- ize, according to reports to General Mann, commanding the border patrol here. A well-informed Mexican arriving here from the interior of Mexico con- firms reports that more than 5,000 Carranza troops have passed Villal- dama, 110 miles south of Laredo, go- ing northward. He said the soldiers were spread out in moderate sized detachments. Traffic across the international bridge between Laredo and Neuvo Laredo has noticeably diminished. Americans no longer pass the night in Neuvo Laredo and only the more daring pass to that city during the | day. Hot Trail Near Brownsville. Brownsville, Tex., June 17.—It was reported to army headquarters here today that a troop of the Third cav- alry under Lieutenant A. D.
