ATTITUDE TOWARD
III
EXIGQ UNCHANGED
General Scott Said to Have
Reached 'Gentlemen's Un
derstanding' With Obregon..
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

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
