NEW TROOPS ON BORDER (Continued From Page One.) ing, near the border, were reported to have eluded the bandits in relayed dispatches dated Saturday afternoon. No doubt remained, however, that L. Coy gave his life in a futile effort to warn the Porto Rico de Bouquillas settlement of their danger.

He became separated from a party that set out for the international line and his body is reported to have been found with the throat cut. called out today to be on duty at the border within twenty-four hours after the commanding officers received the orders. Army men, however, believed it would take at least two or three before the national guardsmen are in harness and patroling the boundary line. Militia Called Out. WASHINGTON, May of War Baker today announced President Wilson had authorized the calling out of the militia of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.

Baker declared the outbreak of Mexican raiding in the Big Bend country of Texas had so far emphasized the danger of further attacks that President Wilson authorized the militia call. Baker issued the following statement immediately after the announcement: "The outbreak in the Big Bend district of the Rio Grande has so far fur- tliem emphasixed the danger of similar occurrences along our long border that the president has called out the militia of Texas. Arizona and New Mexico and has directed them to report to General Funston. who will assign them stations along the border for patrol duty. "In addition to this two additional regiments of regular infantry have been directed to proceed to the border and such further arrangements will be made as are necessary for the complete security of the people of the United States against raids of this character." In addition to the militia the following infantry was ordered to the border: Thirtieth.

Third. Madison barracks, Oswego, N. Twenty-first, Vancouver, Fourteenth, Fort Lawton, Washington. The militia of the three states numbers about 4,000 men. Secretary Baker declined to say whether the new orders were the result of General Scott's message concerning the Obregon conference.

Baiter declared It was based on recommendations from Scott and Funston as a result of the Big Bend raid. He would affirm nor deny that Obregon had demanded withdrawal of American troops. General Funston is authorized to dispose of the fresh troops, militia and regulars, as he sees fit. Secretary Baker emphasized that the move is for "border protection." Yet the forces will be available for service inside Mexico if required. At present there are about 18.000 regulars in Mexico and about 10.000 along the border.

The president's step will require no action by congress unless military commanders decide the militia of the three states must be used across the border. In such an event the militia would have to be enrolled as volunteers, thereby losing their state militia identity. Orders also were issued for four troops of regular infantry to proceed to the border at once from Plattsmouth, N. Madison barracks. New York, Vancouver, and Fort Lawton, Washington.

Derision to call out the militia followed a conference between President Wilson and Secretary Baker after the latter had received two long code messages from General Funston. In announcing the decision Secretary Baker declared tho step constituted no change In the policy the United Stites toward the southern republic. At the same time the announcement was being 'ssued Mexican Ambassador Arredondo was urging upon Secretary Lansing necessity for strengthening the United States border patrol on the ground that only by this step could further border raids be prevented at some points. He told Lansing the Glenn Springs raid was planned and carried out from this side of the border and that several other towns have been selected as objects of future raids. I.

Villareal, Mexican agitator, Arredondo told Lansing, was leader of this movement. More Americans Killed. MARATHON. Texas, May troops of the Fourteenth cavalry and Sheriff Walton's posse of cattlemen have crossed the border into Mexico below Glenn Springs. Texas, to avenge the raid of Friday night, according to advices reaching the base of the new expedition.

Ten Americans are missing, two of whom have been officially killed, and the troops aro riding hard in an effort to save the lives of others. W. L. Mathews, who arrived here with three men wounded in the raid, declared a Carranzista officer's commission was found on the body of Captain Daniel Rodriguez, one of the raiders. The civilian posse came across Rodriguez's body and that of another slain raider in a patch of grass on the outskirts of Glenn Springs, Mathews said.

Bliss had awaited, was in confidential code, and intended only for the secretary of war.

Early in the night Secretary Baker had conferred with President Wilson at the white house and it is said transmitted General Funston's recommendation for a new disposition of forces along the border to cope with the situation arising from raids in the Big Bend country. The general feeling here today was that Mexican affairs had taken a turn for the worse. General Bliss returned to the war department at 8:30. Ho said he had gh'en the dispatch to Secretary Baker. Asked if the situation is serious he replied gravely: "I can't say anything one way or the other." Not a Strong Force.

WASHINGTON, May the first time since the Spanish-American war, the president of the United States today called on state militia to assist the regular forces.in an international crisis. The militia in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico were oidered out. Use of these citizen troops will not call for action by congress at this time, since they will be used onh- for patrol I duty along the border.

MARATHON. Texas--, May Americans captured by the Glenn Springs rni''ers have overpowered their guards and escaped to the American side of the -border, bringing three Mexican guaids with them as captives, according to dispatches reaching the new expeditionary base here today. Situation Very Grave. EL PASO, Texas. May the Mexican situation has suddenly become grave, today General Funston planned to return at once to San Antonio to reeuiit the militia of the three southwest border states which was ordered out for patrol duty today.

Funston, deeply concerned over the sudden tack developments have taken, declined, however, to comment on the reported i a demanding withdrawal of American troops from Mexico and threatening an attack by Car- ranzistas an alternative move. "I can say nothing," Funston said, "we are pledged to secrecy." Funston may be able to leave for San Antonio this evening, Carranza War Minister Obregon has 35,000 men in strategic positions in northern Mexico. Xo secret was made of the fact that conditions today are more threatening than at any other time since the negotiations began. Obregon Sets Time Limit. WASHINGTON, May Obregon has demanded that a time limit be set upon the stay of American troops in Mexico.

The United States government will refuse positively to accede to any such limitation, it was decided at today's cabinet meeting. The government's policy will be to continue to refuse to make a time limit. While army men closely concealed the actual contents of the Scott report, they were more than usually secretive even as to hints of its nature. There was no mistaking, however, that the tone of it was particularly serious. The view of the situation taken by many here was that General Obregon has broken with General Carranza and taken affairs into his own hands.

Reports of a break have circulated from time to time recently. Obregon has had opportunity to rally certain of the leaders of northern Mexico, if he so desired, and may believe himself now in a position to gain control of northern Mexico. Obregon is known as one of the keenest men and best military commanders in ail Mexico. Generals Scott and Obregon expect to have one more conference at least. This will determine whether they can reach any terms acceptable to the United States.

At that conference it is likely the Mexican terms will be put in writing. If Obregon stands pat on his argument he will be flatly told the United States cannot accept any such terms, inasmuch as by setting a time limit it might find itself in the position of quitting the border before danger of future raids had been eliminated. Word of Obregon's demand was transmitted here by General Scott. He expected to file an answer, presumably after a conference today. Reports that Obregon had threatened to use Carranza troops against American soldiers if they remained in Mexico were said not to be "exact," although stories bearing on this were said not to be entirely without foundation, but the real fact goes only so far as a demand for a time limit.

To Arrange Conference. EL, PASO, Texas, May Scott today sent O. P. Brown, war department agent, to Juarez to arrange for a conference late today.

It was pointed out, however, ihat even should it be learned that the Cymric was torpedoed without warning, that fact would not offer proof that U-boat commanders were not keeping faith with America. New instructions have been issued to the German submarine commanders, in accordance with German pledges to the United States, but it is quite possible that the U-boat which attacked the Cymric left its base before the new orders were issued from Berlin.

The White Star office believes that no Americans were among the crew of 110 carried by the Cymric, though one or two American sailors may have been taken on at New York. The liner was capable of only about fifteen knots an hour, and with her heavy war munitions cargo, would have been easy prey to one of the new and speedy German U-boats. For the last six weeks she has carried no passengers on her tiips between New York and Liverpool. German submarine operations will be subject to the closest scrutiny by American consular agents for the remainder of the war, it was learned here today, regardless of whether or not Americans are on An investigation will be made into the sinking Saturday of the British four-mast- ed Gelgate by a submarine.

GERMANS DECLARE THEY HAVE HAD SUCCESS (Continued From Deadman's hill, guarding Verdon from the north, at all costs.

The German commanders first lavished shells on the whole front west of the Meuse. Then they flung two divisions down the Bethincourt-Esnes between bill 304 and Deadman's hill, planning to break the French front and force the abandonment of both hill 304 and the crests of Deadman's hill by threat of envelopment.

Gibbany was arrested this noon by Lieutenant Harry Grimme, who was wait- Ing for him in the Kerman fur store on West Wayne street. Gibbany admitted his guilt and asked that the express company's officials be notified at once. The stolen furs were shipped to an eastern fur company by AVeil Brothers last week, and on Monday the local company received notice that ten pels, worth about $300. were missing. This morning Gibbany came into the eKrman fur store and offered ten pelts for sale, but Mr.

Herman was not in. Gibbany the pelts with a clerk and agreed to come this noon for his money. In the meantime Mr. Kerman took the furs to Well Brothers to have expert fur buyer there put a valuation on them, and the buyer recognized the pelts as those missing from the eastern shipment. Arrangements were made with Mr.

Kerman to have Lieutenant Grimme wait for Glb- fany at the fur store, and when the efllow ranie for his money he was placed under arrest. This is his first offense and Gibbany declared he docs not know why he did it. He realizes the disgrace it will bring to his wife and baby and says he asks clemency onl yon their account.

Charles Mesing, 76 years of age, died last night at 12:30 o'clock at the ily residence on the road, after a week's illness due to blood poisoning.

Mary Anna Loring Wellsh came to Judge John W. Eggeman, of the circuit court, yesterday, and told him that "Johnny Appleseed," to whom a monument was dedicated in Swinney park Saturday, was her uncle.

She says his name was John Sheffield and not John Chapman, as historical writers declare. Mrs. Wellsh is a widow, 68 years of age, and lives alone in a little cottage on Holton avenue. She can't understand how the mistake was made, for since she was a little girl she knew that "Johnny Appleseed" was her uncle. The case will be investigated, although not much faith Is put in the story.

The state of Minnesota has had a farm "wished" on it, is prohibited by law from selling it for twenty years and has nobody to farm i in the. meantime. When David B. Sheehaii died, June 5, 1914, at Jessenland, he left the farm, $223.29 and no heirs. Under the law the estate went to the state.

Under the same law any heir turning up within twenty years may claim the property. Get the habit, say "Hoi. Tayto-Loaf" bread.
