Court - lief iisfis to Promise Proba
tion for Chico, Cal., Pastor.
Case to Go to Trial on Other
Counts on April 11.
OROVILLE. Cal., April 3.--Rev. Madi
son Slaughter, pastor of the Chico, Cal.,
Baptist Church, won a jury disagree
ment today in his trial on one of five
charges of assault against Gertrude
Lamson. a 15-year-old Chico girl. The
Jurymen were willing to convict him,
according to a statement prepared by
them, if the court would spare him a
prison sentence by a grant of proba
tion. The Jury wanted to make the
statement to Judge H. D. Gregory be
fore they had officially disagreed. The
statement said:
"We submit for consideration that
we are willing in the case of Madison
Slaughter to vote guilty, believing him
guilty, but we first ask that Tour
Jfonor, Judge Gregory, promise proba
tion." Judge Gregory would not let the
Jurymen read the compromise verdict
and discharged them, after they stood
eight for conviction and four for ac
quittal for 66 hours.
JVe-w Trial to Be April 11.
Retrial of the charge will be set
April 11. Four other cases, involving
the same offense against Gertrude
I-amson are pending.
According to the convicting Jury
men, sympathy for the minister's family
actuated the jurymen dissenting from a
verdict of guilty.
The Rev. Madison Slaughter was in
dicted January 31 on five charges of
assault on 15-year-old Gertrude Lam
eon. Parents Defend Pastor.
Prior to the trial, the parents of the
girl testified before Slaughter's con
gregation their belief in the pastor's
innocence and both testified at the
trial against their daughter.
The defense introduced "confessions"
signed by the girl, in which she ad
mitted her charges were false, but
which . she declared on the stand she
had been induced to sign because she
had been told that her refusal would
endanger her mother's life.
Partisan feeling over the indictments
and the trial has split Chico into war
ring factions for more than two
months, so much so that Judge Greg
ory ordered no sermons or lectures on
the case during its progress.
VILLA XtAXDS ARK SCATTERED
Pershing's Scouts Fail to Pick Up
Trail of Bandit JLieader.
SAX ANTONIO. Tex., April 3. The
fear expressed yesterday at Army
headquarters that Francisco Villa had
escaped from the region in which Gen
eral Persuings cavalry columns are
operating, became a conviction by the
close of today. No report from Mexico
aid that he had disappeared, but all
information secured indicated that he
was gone.
General Pershing's Tep.ort, received
after noon, conveyed the news that
at least a part of the dispersed Villa
force that was driven from Guerrero
March 29 still was moving in the dis
trict northeast of that place, but no
mention of Villa's whereabouts was
made. The report was dated yester
day. Six columns of cavalry were yet
riding in the hills and plains In that
section, while scouts were endeavoring
to pick up the trail of the scattered
bands, as well as that of their fugitive
chief.
One force of Villa's men. estimated
at 100. commanded by Colonel Beltran
was located near Bacineva, about 25
miles northeast of Guerrero, and in
formation was gathered that indicated
the remainder of the 400 or 500 still
were in that region. No reference was
made in that report of an encounter
that was mentioned in press dispatches
from the front.

WASHINGTON, April 3. Evidence of
co-operation by Carranza troops with
the American forces hunting Villa, ap
parently disposing definitely of rumors
that Colonel Cano and his command had
deserted to Villa, came to the War De
partment today from General Pershing.
He reported an engagement March 29,
presumably near Guerrero, between
Cano's troops and one of the bands into
which Colonel Dodd scattered the main
Villa force.
As this clash, in which Manuel Boco,
leader of the outlaws, is said to have
been killed, occurred on the same day
that Colonel Dodd struck the Villa
army, officials were convinced that the
Carranza columns were co-operating
actively with the Americans. -
"This seems to dispose finally of the
rumor of disloyalty on the part of
Colonel Cano," Secretary Baker said in
a formal statement.
Important Events Suspected.
The fact that three days elapsed
after the 48-hour-old report of Colonel
Dodd's engagement before news came
of the Cano fight, renewed hopes that
mportant subsequent events have not
yet been reported to headquarters.
That some supplies and forage for
the cavalry, even if of poor quality.
were being obtained "off the country"
by General Pershing's force was1 an
other encouraging feature of the latest
report. The general said corn of in
ferior quality was plentiful and that
beef cattle in sufficient quantity had
been bought.
The American Consul at Monterey
advised the State Department that ex
citement there following the Columbus
massacre and entrance of American
troops into Mexico had completely sub
sided. Friendly relations between the
United States and the de facto govern
ment, the dispatch said, were well
understood by the native population.
and Americans were receiving consid
erate treatment.
Munition Sales Xot Opposed.
Rumors that the Washington Gov
ernment would object to sales of muni
tions by foreign countries to the de
facto authorities were denied at the
State Department.
Henry P. Fletcher, newly appointed
American Ambassador to Mexico, con
ferred for a short time today with Sec
retary Lansing, but deferred extensive
discussion of his duties.
There were no developments here
toward use of the Mexican railways
for shipments of supplies to General
Pershing. It was expected that cars
with such supplies tendered for trans
portation by General Funston would be
ready tomorrow. Secretary Lansing
said no response had been made to the
Carranza government regarding amend
ments to the proposed protocol sug
gested by General Carranza.

MILK SUPPLY WANES
Chicago Has Scarcely Enough

PRODUCERS HAVE PICKETS
REGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
gton, April 2. Members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission are
puzzling their brains to find out why
the Northwestern Liquor Association of
Boise, Idaho, should, at this late day,
be filing a complaint against the O. S.
L., U. P. and other railroads, alleging
that their freight rate of J1.63 per 100
pounds on shipments of liquor from
Louisville, Ky., to Boise is unreason
able. Not that the Commission believes
the rate to be reasonable, for it has
not gone into that question.
But Idaho went absolutely dry on
January 1; it is now unlawful for any
one in the state to have liquor, and
especiallly Kentucky liquor, in his pos
session. The importation of whisky
and other liquor is prohibited. There
fore, ask the Commissioners, why
should anyone raise the question of the
reasonableness of rates on liquor from
anywhere to Boise or other places in
Idaho? If the rate were 50 cents
hundred instead of $1.63 it would not
build up a liquor business in Idaho.
On the other hand, if the rate was the
only factor. Commissioners are dls
posea to Deiieve tnere would be no
complaint if the rate on good Ken
tucKy wnisKy went to ?2.63 or even
? 3.63.

More Tlian 1,000,000 Quarts Ileld
Back Daily and Half Million
Quarts Are Fed lo Pigs
Because of Strike.
CHICAGO, April 3. It was predicted
today that unless owners of dairy
farms change their attitude, which is
to prevent the shipment of milk to Chi
cago until the distributors raise prices
paid them, that there will be scarcely
enough of the liquid in the city in three
days for the babies.
The prediction was made at a con
ference of the heads of the distributing
companies with Dr. John Dill Robert
son, commissioner of health.
Dr. Robertson had inspectors out to
see that the distributors do not try
to get milk into the city without in
spection. .
The commissioner was told that a
milk famine could be averted only by
sufficient police protection to enable
non - striking farmers to ship their
product.
Pickets Cause Riot.
It was reported from Elgin, 111., to
day a small riot was precipitated at
Dundee when insurgent dairymen tried
to pass pickets of the Milk Producers'
Association.
Residents of Chicago were warned
in a bulletin issued by Health Com
missioner Robertson today to conserve
their milk supply and to pasteurize it
at home.
Dealers say more than 1.000,000
quarts are being held back daily by
the farmers.
Milk Damped In Streets.
Several persons were reported in
jured in the riots which followed at
tempts by "insurgents" to run the
blockade at Dundee. Twenty loads of
milk were dumped into the street. Six
armed deputies attempted to stop the
rioting. Pickets forced them into an
automobile and drove them out tf
town.
Secretary Kellar, of the Kane Coun
ty Milk Dealers' Association, said that
more than half a million qllarts of
milk is being fed every day to pigs
because of the milk producers" refusal
to take the price offered.

WINNIPEG, April 3. Quiet prevailed
here tonight, following the rioting of
Saturday and Sunday nights, in which
four soldiers and one civilian were dan
gerously injured and scores of other
persons cut and bruised.
Military authorities took steps to pre
vent a repetition of the violent scenes
brought on by clashes between soldiers
and the police.
An agreement was reached whereby
the city police hereafter will maintain
order among the populace and the mil
itary authorities among the soldiers.
The warcries of a drunken Indian
who tried to rescue a soldier from the
police started the trouble Saturday
night. Scores of soldiers rallied about
their comrade and a general fight ensued.
Disorders broke out Sunday night
when soldiers attempted to storm the
police station and rescue comrades
taken into custody the night previous.

Equally Determined to Resist Ef

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3. Every ef
fort possible is to be made by the re
organization committee and the ma
jority bondholders of the Western Pa
cific Railroad to supplant United States
District Judge Van Fleet before the
matter of the foreclosure suit against
the road, now pending before him, is
allowed to proceed, according to the
declaration of attorneys for these in
terests. The object of this move is to
have some other Judge than Van Fleet
determine the "upset" price at which
the road Is to be sold.
If Judge Van Fleet should disregard
the charges of prejudice and bias made
against him today in an affidavit bj
Lyman Rhoades, vice-president of the
Equitable Trust Company, of New
York, an effort will be made to carry
the charges over his head to the senior
Justice of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals. This purpose was
voiced by representatives of the Equit
able, which is trustee for the majority
bondholders. '
Judge Van Fleet is equally deter
mined to resist the effort to disqualify
him. as indicated by his remarks fol
lowing the reading of the affidavit.
"Surely an aspersion cast in this for
mal and solemn manner must be an
swered," said the court. "Any other
course would be cowardly, and no one
has ever called me a coward. I am
unconscious of any feeling or senti
ment of prejudice in the matter."
