PERSHING IS ON WATCH American Line Being Shortened in Anticipation of Rainy Season. XTse of -Railways May Be come Serious Issue. "WASHINGTON". May 12. Failure of the military conference at El Paso to reach a definite agreement has brought no change in the policy of the Wash ington Adminisirtation toward Mexico. President Wilson and his cabinet die cussed General Scott's report announc ing that the questions at issue had been referred back by the conferees to their respective governments for diplomatic discussion. Later it was said officially that the situation was unchanged. The text of General Scott'e report of his final discussions has not been made public. There are indications, how ever, that he arrived at something in the nature of a "gentlemen's under standing with the Mexican War Min ister, though it possibly had no more definite form than a statement by each Kide of what steps it purposed to take toward checking raiding along the Texas border, renewed with the attack on Glenn springs. PerKhin Remains on "Watch. Pending new orders from the Presi dent, it was made plain at the War De partment that General Pershing's ex pedition would remain in Mexico watching developments beyond the bor der. Meanwhile mobilization of Na tional Guardsmen from the border states and of additional regulars to strengthen the border patrol at points along the 3 800-mile stretch not pro tected by the expedition continues. .Should raiding be renewed, additional state troops will be called out for bor der duty, and wherever the bandits leave a hot trail the Army will not lies it ate to pursue them into Mexico. An indication of the attitude of some members of Congress toward the sug gestion of General Carranza that the American expedition be recalled, came in the Senate today when Senator Lewis declared he believed the majority of the Senate never would vote for withdrawal until the murderers of Americans had been punished. The Illinois Senator spoke in reply to a suggestion by Senator Kenyon that nothing adequate was being done to safeguard the soldiers now in Mex ioo. Senator Lewis believed that every possible precaution was being taken by liie ar Department. Diplomats Make No Move. Neither Secretary Lansing nor Eli-seo rredondo, Carranza. Ambassador des ignate, took any step during the day toward diplomatic discussion of the points that arose during the military conterence. Mr. Arredondo was await ing instructions from his government. Secretary Lansing will discuss matters with General Scott before taking up the question. War Department officials laid stress on the fact that General Funston's or ders were unchanged. While General Pershing now is concentrating his forces along a shortened lino, it was faid positively that he would hasten south again immediately if he received1 definite information that Villa or any considerable number of his band had gathered at a point within striking range. General Pershing, it was said, kept going as long as ho had a hot trail to follow. For days there has been no mention of Villa's name in official dispatches and officials here and at the border do not know his whereabouts or even whether he is still alive. Rainy Season Approaching. The most advanced post of the expe dition is in the region of San Antonio, Mexico, 21 ti miles south of the border. The concentration now in progress was made necessary in part by the ap proach of the rainy season and the in creased difficulties that are. -to be ex pected in carrying to the front the vast quant ity of supplies needed for the troops. Further withdrawal northward ;i lso was necessitated, it was said, to bring General Pershing's advanced bases closer to the railroads. Army officers are still hopeful that the State Department will be able to arrive at an understanding with the- de facto gov ernment which will permit more free use of the railroads. If General Pershing's supply lines are seriously threatened by bad weath er, vigorous measures may have to be taken to see that the men at the front are properly cared for. It is possible that this question of the railways may present later the most serious aspect of the relations between the "L'nited States and the de, facto government. that might be brought about by appar ently innocent and well-sounding" resolutions. Mr. Cotton took occasion to rap the Zeigler amendment which prevents the vacation of streets, and contended sar castically that the railroads have never been supported or encouraged unself ishly by the rank and file of Portland- ers. He pleaded for the encouragement of more shipbuilding plants and of in dustries such as the Gresham cannery. ITALIAN MUTINY REPORTED Regiment at Front and One in Bar racks Said to Have Rebelled. BERLIN, May 12. (By wireless to Sayvflle, N. Y.) Reports from & re liable source received by the Koelnische Volks Zeitung says the Overseas News Agency today, say that one of the regi ments in the barracks at Piacenza, Northern Italy, mutined recently and that a brigade from Sassari, Sardinia, mutinied on the front. Further advices to the newspaper de clare that in Naples a manifestation occurred against King Victor Em manuel and that a picture of the war agitator, Cicotti, was burned. Also it is said that during an election in the district represented by the Socialist deputy. Ferri, 6000 women took part in the public demonstration, shouting: We want the war to end." Order was restored by the military. MOTOR BOAT MEN TO AID San Francisco Folk to Organize Naval Auxiliary. SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.

W. W. COTTON SPEAKER "W 1 TT V ADDRKSS DELIVERED BE FORE REALTY BOARD. Climate off Oregon IraIeI and Public Condemned for AntagoniHtlc Atti tude Toward Hull road. Tn what was generally termed as the wittivst and most entertaining addrest ever delivered before the Portland Keatty Board. W. W. Cotton, general counsel of the O.-W. R, .fe X. Company, yesterday spoke on "Portland s t-li mate." ' Between the first of June and the middle of September the western slope of the Cascades in Oregon is the most delightful place for a home in all the world," began Mr. Cotton. "During those months Oregon has the finest climate outdoors. "Mv criticism if: that the Oregon climate is too soothing. It induces man just to sit in the sun and be happy during certain months of the year, and later on the same man is induced by the climate to just sit by the fire. As matter of fact there is more occasion for sitting in Western Oregon than there is m any other place I know ot. "It is the state of exceesive irrita nil it y that makes man a genius, and that is one thing that we lack here. It is an absolute, solemn fact that the climate here is not conducive to such nervousness. "Portlanders are the greatest little bunch of 'resoluters I ever heard of. We really should investigate matters a little bit before we 'resolute so much. If ever there was a time when Port landers made fools of themselves it was when they made numerous and .sundry resolutions discussing the cost of railroad transportation in connec tion with the notorious Astoria rate case." At considerable length Mr. Cotton then explained some of the many com plications that are involved in railroad rate problems, and gave numerous spe cific instances of ludicrous situations HIGH ELK WILL PAY VISIT Past Grand Exalted Ruler Sam mis to Be Entertained Tomorrow. Members of the Portland lodge of Elks are preparing to receive J. U. Sammis, a tpast grand exalted ruler the order, who is accompanying Senator Cummins, of Iowa, on his campaign tour of the state.

Mr, Sammis is a resident of Lemars, la., and has been a close friend and political adviser of Senator Cummins for many years. lie was elected grand exalted ruler o the Klks at the Los Angeles eonven tton in 1909. and has visited Portland repeatedly. His last visit was last July, following the National convention at Ix3 Angeles, that being the second time the Elks met in that city. Marslificld Hotel Has $1500 Blaze MARSH FIELD, May 12. fSpecial.)
