General Gomez Among Dead.
Americans Charged With
Making Attack.
17 REPORTED CAPTURED
Surrender by Any of Pershing's
Men Is Doubted by Gen
eral Bell.
EL PASO, Tex., June 21. A de
tachment of American cavalry clashed
with Carranzista forces at Carrizal,
about 90 miles south of El Paso, early
today, both sides suffering heavy cas
ualties, according to unofficial reports
received by Mexican military authori
ties in Juarez tonight.
According to the report, which the
Mexican authorities are investigating,
40 Americans were killed by machine
gun fire in a surprise attack.
Mexican General Killed.
The Mexican casualties were said
not to have been so heavy, but Felix
Gomez is named as being among the
Mexican dead.
The American command is said to
have been part of a scouting patrol
from Guzman, returning to General
Pershing's line of communication.
Carrizal, named as the place of en
counter, is about nine miles south
west of Villa Ahumada, the Mexican
field base in North Chihuahua.
17 Americans Captives.
Later, General Francisco Gonzales,
Mexican commander at Juarez, gave
out a statement in which he an
nounced officially that the Mexican
command had taken 17 American
prisoners. He also said that General
Gomez death had been confirmed, but
said he had no official reports as to
the number of casualties on either
side.
The wounded, both American and
Mexican, the exact number of whom
is not known here, were taken to Villa
Ahumada.
Attack Laid to Americans.
General Francisco Gonzales made
the following statement:
"Immediately upon learning of the
presence of the American troops in
the vicinity of Carrizal, General Felix
Gomez dispatched a messenger with a
request that the American commander
withdraw to his camp. When the
American troops remained motionless
he sent a second dispatch-bearer, who
was fired . upon by the American
troops, after he had delivered his mes
sage. The Americans immediately
moved forward and attacked General
Gomez' command.
"All the prisoners admitted that the
blame should be put on the American
commander for having ordered the at
tack. The prisoners were sent to Chi
huahua City with the customary pro
tection."
General Gonzales said that the re
port of the engagement was made to
him by Lieutenant-Colonel Gertoveso
Rivas, who succeeded to the command
of the Carranzista forces with the fall
of General Gomez.
Surrender Is Doubted.
General George R. Bell, Jr., who
was first informed of the fight by
Mexican Consul Garcia, said that no
military action would be taken in El
Paso while orders were awaited from
General Funston. In the meantime,
he said, his forces were ready for any
demonstration from the other side of
the Rio Grande.
General Bell said there was no
question but that a fight had taken
place, but was inclined to disbelieve
the report that any Americans had
been taken prisoners.
The news was spread throughout
Juarez, but the Mexican city remained
calm.

TROOPS BENEATH CANVAS
Oregon National Guard All Assem
bled in Clackamas Camp.
With the exception of one small unit
of 36 men. the Third Infantry, Oregon
National Guard, completed mobilization
at the state camp at Clackamas shortly
after 6 o'clock last night.
Company K, of CorVallis, was the last
to arrive. ' In command of Captain
Charles A. Murphey, 65 men strong, the
men came in by train and at once went
into camp.
In addition to the 12 companies of
the Third Infantry in camp. Battery A,
Field Artillery, and Troop A, Cavalry,
are at the camp.
1243 Men in Camp.
The number of men under arms there
at 7 o'clock was 1243. Of these troops.
1005 were divided among the 12 com
panies of the Third Infantry, 147 were
in Battery A and 91 in Troop A.
Virtually every organization, how
ever, had left small details at their
home stations in charge of an officer
to attend to further recruiting.
So far as Captain Kenneth P. Will
iams, United States Army, who has been
detailed as mustering-ln officer, is con
cerned, he is all ready to begin muster
ing the troops into the Federal serv
ice this morning.
Muster BUnki Arrive.
The necessary blanks and forms for
this work arrived from Army head
quarters at San Francisco yesterday.
In fact. Captain .Williams wanted to
muster in Company M, of Salem, yes
terday but could not do so because not
all the men were in camp. Captain
Gehlhar at once' sent orders for men
left in Salem to join the company.
Captain Williams expects to muster
in Company M, and perhaps another
organization today.
The mustering-in ceremony is a brief
one. The men of the company line up
for inspection. After a thorough in
spection by Captain Williams, they wiil
take the dual oath of allegience pre
scribed in the new Army bill, and
administered by him. Then each man
will sign the muster roll.
After the men have been mustered in,
the officers will be taken into the Fed
eral service.
Mustering; to Be Expedited.
Every effort will be made by Cap
tain Williams to complete the muster
ing of the Oregon troops into the Fed
eral service with the greatest expe
dition. No company, however, can be
mustered in until all its men are on
hand, including recruits, and with the
enlistment records of each company
completed.
At best, it probably will be 10 days
or two weeks before the mustering
in. inspection and listing of all prop
erty can be made. In the meantime,
the min will be put through intensive
drilling each day. They will also be
grivn plenty of target practice on the
rifle range, for, as the officers say, no
soldiei is better than his marksman
ship. Colonel McLaughlin wil be the hist
man to be mistered in. Although
Colonel McLaughlin already is a Cap
tain in the regular service, he will be
mustered in as Colonel of the Third
Infantry. Under the regulations, the
Colonel cannot be mustered as such,
however, until the entire regiment has
been taken into the Federal service.

SAX ANTONIO, Tex., June 21. Gen
eral Pershing- has given the Mexican
troops the opportunity to make good
their threat to attack him if he moved
east or west, but the Mexicans declined
the issue.
He sent a small force eastward to
Guzman, about 35 miles from his line
of communication, yesterday to investi
gate a report that a concentration of
Mexican troops had been made there.
He reported the incident to General
Funston today, adding that the detach
ment hau returned without finding- any
Mexican troops in that vicinity.
Reports to department headquarters
today told of the arrival of more troops
at Ojinaga, opposite Presidio, and at
Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass.
Beyond Ojinaga increased activity was
noticed, but officers here believe Colonel
Gaston, commanding' on the American
side, has men enough to meet the situ
ation. The heaviest addition to the Mexi
can border army was that at Piedras
Negras, where General Murgia arrived
with 2000 men.
General Funston announced that to
the Army's equipment here there has
been added today a large number of
searchlights.
General Parker reported from
Brownsville th it he had not been able
to confirm the rumor that Americans at
Cerralvo had been massacred.
General Funston was notified by the
War Department today that detailed
instructions have been sent to him for
organization in this department of four
regiments of infantry and two cavalry
regiments under the Army reorganiza
tion bill, which will become effective
July 1. The procedure will be to as
sign experienced noncommissioned of
ficers from existing- regiments to the
new organization to handle the re
cruits. HUGHES MOVE IS STARTED

MARSHFIELD', Or.. June 21. (Spe

organizing the first Hughes club in the
state and it is composed largely of cit

to the members' suffrage. The club, so
members state, is the nucleus of a state
organization which, without relation
to former political faith, will support
Charles E. Hughes for President, be
lieving their sympathies towards the
war in Europe are no more a subject
of censure than are those of pro-ally
citizens. Carl Albrecht is president
of the club and E. B. Gehrke the sec
retary. President Albrecht said the organiza
tion will have 1000 members, in Cooa
County alone and many thousand
throughout the state.

ENTENTE ALLIES ARE ACTIVE
Chief Doing All Possible to
Protect Americans.
COMMISSION PLAN OUT
Washington Points Out Tbat Mexi
can Head Migbt Avoid War
Should International Body Be
Worked Out Satisfactorily.
WASHINGTON. June 21. Strong
pressure is being brought to bear upon
General Carranza by representatives of
European powers to prevent him from
forcing a break with the United States.
Indirect reports reaching the State
Department today told of these efforts
and said there was a possibility that
they would be successful.
Agencies of the entente allies are
understood to be active for peace, par
ticularly as they believe German in
fluence has sought to inflame the Mex
ican government against the United
States, with a view to preventing this
country from gathering In trade for
merly controlled by Germany in Mex
ico, South and Central America.
It is pointed out that Carranza
might avoid war by calling for an in
ternational commission to discuss the
border situation as provided for in the
treaty of 1848. So far, however, no
suggestion for such a step has come
from Mexico.
A definite statement has been re
ceived that General Carranza is doing
all in his power at this time to protect
Americans in Mexico from attack by
the populace. He is said to have given
Special Agent Rodgers. in Mexico City,
all the aid in his power In arranging
for trains to carry American refugees
from the interior to Vera Cruz. In
some quarters here this was construed
as evidence that he is not bent upon
provoking hostilities.
The State Department had no advices
bearing out these hopeful indications,
except that from Special Agent Rodgers
announcing the progress of his efforts
to get American citizens out. With the
full consent of the Carranza authori
ties, he said, and the promise of ade
quate protection from possible bandit
attacks, he had arranged for a special
train to leave Mexico City tomorrow
carrying Americans to Vera Cruz.
Mr. Rodgers added that he and his
diplomatic associates in the Mexican
capital have been given every assur
ance of safe conduct and protection on
their trip to the coast, if it became nec
essary for them to leave. The corps
of American newspaper correspondents
there has decided to remain with Mr.
Rodgers until such time as he may find
it necessary to leave.

BEES AND WIN, 4-1
SOTHOROX ALLOWS ONLY FOUR
11 ITS IN GREAT GAME.
Lous: Tom Hughes Eeels Power
of Portland Swatsmitlis, Who
Sniu.sli Out 12 Bingles.
Chiefly because the Salt Lake Bees
could not hit Pitcher Allen Sothoron.
Portland took the first game of the
series yesterday afternoon on the
Vaughn-street grounds. The final
score was Portland 4. Salt Lake 1.
Sothoron pitched a beautiful game,
allowing but four hits. Eight Bees
went odt via the infield-fly route and
when the former Wichita star was not
retiring them in that manner, he either
struck thtm out or caused them to
knock puny grounders, usually easily
handled. Al struck out four.
In hope that he would repeat his
victory over the Beavers which he
secured when the Bees opened here In
April, Manager Blankenship started
"Long Tom" Hughes on the hillock. The
former star flinger of the Washington
American was pummelled for 12 safe
blows. Nine of the hits were allowed
in three different innings, three in
each and each time tallies were reg
istered. Doubles in succession by Rodgers and
Stumpf produced the Beavers first
tally in the second inning. The visitors
tied the count in the third on a two
bagger by Pitcher Hughes, Quintan's
sacrifice and Rath's out at first. De
termined not to be held even, Walt
McCredie's hirelings came back in their
half of this inning and took a one-run
lead which was never overcome.
Papa Southworth's double, Guisto's
sacrifice and some poor team play on
the part of the Salt Lakers, allowing
Nixon's Texas-Leaguer to drop safe,
produced the bell-ringer.
A walk issued to Gus Fisher started
trouble for Hughes in the sixth canto,
when the Mackmen registered a brace
of tallies, putting the contest on ice.
The Beaver backstop advanced to the
keystone on Sothoron's out at first
and scored on Wilie's screeching dou
ble, which rattled the right garden
wall about ten feet inside the foul line.
Vaughn's single, which sizzled on its
way into the center pasture, scored
Denny for the last run of the matinee.
When four Salt Lake pastimers all
tried to catch Billy Nixon's fly back of
Guigni's territory in the third inning.
Bunny Brief and Jimmy Shinn bumped
together while both were running at
top Bpced. It shook both up and Brief
held up the game about ten minutes
while the Salt Lake trainer bathed his
bleeding, nose. He finished the game.
Brief, Shinn, Guigni and Orr all tried
to catch the balL The result was that
no one got it. Portland's tyinar tally
was scored on the misplay. It was
Guigni's ball pure and simple and the
others bad no business butting In.
Herb Murphy relieved Tommy Quin
Ian in the third inning. The latter is
suffering from a Charley horse.
