Story Gains Currency In Juarez
That Americana Are Spraying
Typhus Suspects With In
flammable Material.
Et. PASO.Jan. 28 A misunderstanding-
over quarantine regulations led to
an arrest today at the Juarez end of
the main bridge., which threatened for
a time to assume dangerous propor
tions. Energetic measures taken by , the
Carranza garrison and a conference be
tween the American and Mexican im
migration officials later brought about
an arrangement satisfactory to the
Mexicans and auiet was restored.
The rioters were mostly Mexican
women employed as servants In El
Paso, who resented the placing In effect
of an American quarantine, order that
all persons of unclean appearance seek
ing to crosajthe bridge be required to
take a shower bath and their clothing
be disinfected to kill the typhus-bear
ing vermin.
Women Circulate Canard.
"Women, stopped by the authorities,
returned to Juarea and circulated
stories that all were to receive a bath
In a gasoline mixture similar to that
which resulted in a tire in the El Paso
jail last March, in which more than a
score of persons were burned to death,
tories were also circulated that Amer
ican soldiers were photographing the
women while bathing and making the
pictures public.
Excited women thronged the Mexican
side of the bridge, held up streetcars
and completely blocked traffic lor sev
eral hours.
Shots Heard; No One Hurt.
Several shots were heard In succes
Bion, but Carranza officers and Govern
ment investigators say no one was
hurt, despite a detailed story that
unread through El Paso that a peon
had been killed for shouting "Long
Live Villa Death to Carranza. It was
eald that the shots were intended to
cow the mob.
At an International conference held
At noon it was arranged that the Ameri
can authorities would recognize bath
and sterilization certificates issued by
the Mexicans, who have an effective
Quarantine plant.
Because of the riot the races on the
Juarez track were called off and the
gambling halls closed.
ATTACK BY CATTLE THIEVES
No Carranza Soldiers Implicated in
Shooting on Border.
NOG-ALES. Ariz.. Jan. 28. No dis-
turbances were reported here today
from Ruby, Ariz., following Friday's
shooting fracas between American cow
boys, backed by guardsmen and Mexi
cans ot unauthenticated sympathies.
lilood spatters left by retreating Mexi
cans led to the belief one of them was
wounded.
Government officials spent today In
vestigating the incident. Major Wal
lace, in command of the Utah Cavalry,
and Major Wells, chief of staff to
ltrigadier-General E. H. Plummer, In
command of the Nogales district, were
on the scene today.
The identity of the Mexicans par
ticipating in the fight still was unde
termined, but Lieutenant C. H. Arns,
in command of E Troop, Utah Cavalry,
usserted no evidence had been fouud
to indicate the Mexicans were Car
ranza soldiers, while Brigadier-General
riuramer expressed the opinion they
Were members of an "irresponsible band
of Mexican cattle rustlers.
The soldiers who searched houses on
the Mexican side after the Mexicans
had disappeared, found two fresh hides,
both bearing brands used by American
cattlemen, it was said. Eresh beef also
was ound, according to the troopers.
The troopers also found saddles,
bridles, spurs and a rifle with bullet
pierced and blood-stained stock.
J. W. Chambers, foreman of the
Arivaca Land & Cattle Company, and
Leslie Woodell, foreman of the McVey
ranch, in this district, said shells found
Jn the trenches which the Mexicans
evacuated were from seven and eight'
millimeter Mausers, the type of gun,
they said, which was used in the Men
car army.
Mexicans were reported o be threat
ening reprisals for the burning of
houses, which, according to Lieutenant
Arns, were, on the Mexican side of the
line, but which cattlemen in the Arl
vaca district contended were on a neu
tral strip along :he international linj,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. No official
information 1 Is at hand as to whether
Villa or Carranza troops are to occupy
the territory left vacant by the Amer
icans, but the belief Is strong here that
Villa, who is credited with having a
force of at least 8000 well-armed men
and who is now said to be at least four
times as strong as when the American
troops crossed the border, will make a
desperate effort to take the territory.
Two other phases of the Mexican
problem on which interest centers now
are the disposition of more than 50.000
militia still on the border and sending
of Ambassador Fletcher to his post at
Mexico City. Officials say no decision
has been reached on either of these
questions. At least a part of the re
maining guardsmen are expected to be
ordered home as soon as the 25,000 now
leaving have been moved out of the
way and Pershing's regulars have been
redistributed to provide an equal pro
tection for the border, perhaps in three
weeks.
Recognition Is Begrudged.
The delay in sending Ambassador
Fletcher is due to the Administration's
hesitancy to accord that degree of rec
ognition to the Carranza government.
The Pershing withdrawal will be car
ried out with as much speed as possible
and it is hoped that the men will cover
about 15 miles a day. Railroads will
not be used even for carrying supplies,
as It Is desired neither to run any
chance of raids by Villa nor to incur
an v obligation to Carranza.
A combination of reasons is given
unofficially for. the withdrawal deci
slon. First was the impracticability of
actually "capturing Villa," as the ob
ject of the expedition was explained to
be in a White House statement issued
at the time the expedition was sent in.
Then, with the border apparently safe,
the demand for the return of the state
troops has become more and more
pressing.
Perxhlng's Position Weak.
Moreover, Pershing's present location
was recognized as a source of military
weakness, both in the face of possible
attacks on his long flanks and also in
the eventuality of a larger expedition
into Mexico.
Probably more decisive than all rea
sons, was the belief the situation would
never be solved one way or another so
long as Pershing stayed, and that it
would be best to withdraw all Amer
lean soldiers from the stricken country
in order to remove any American or
anti-American issue. In other words
there is a disposition to leave Mexico
to work out its own salvation without
interference and even to give Carranza
a diplomatic victory -in the hope that
in some way a stable government may
arise there.
With the last American soldier out of
Mexico, the Mexican problem can be
viewed in a new light. From now on
it will not be possible for Carranza to
meet American demands with counter-
demands for the withdrawal of the
troops.

around 85 per cent for the men and
slightly higher for the women. The
general average of all men of the In

year was 85, and the average of the
nine fraternities was precisely the
same. The average of all women of
the three sororities for the same
period was 88.
Reports of the clubs show that ap
proximately the same averages are
maintained.
Good scholarships and deportment
are pre-requisites of membership in
the fraternities and sororities, which
were formed under faculty supervision,
advice and direction. Each organiza
tion has a faculty advisor who is held
responsible for the progress of its
members. One of the duties ot the
faculty advisor is to see that the"!
standing rules of the organization for
which be acts are rightly interpreted
and followed.
The silver trophy annually awarded
to the chapter scoring the highest
weighted averages within the North
west district by the Kappa Sigma was
won by the O. A. C. chapter last year.

chapter house after 7:30 P. M. each
study night, unless excused by the
proper authority.

bers are procured ' from the college
registrar each month, upon which all
delinquencies are promptly checked up.
Study hour begins at 7:30; no congre
gating, loud talking or other unneces
sary noise are allowed in rooms after
this hour.
One chapter has provided a large sll
ver cup, the member attaining the
highest average in any semester to
have his name inscribed-upon it, along
with his average.
Any member falling below 80 per cent
automatically placed on probation
and deprived of week-end dates.
Reports of instructors are due in the
registrar's office not later than 48
hours after the completion of an ex
amination. so that complete and final
returns will be available by the end of
next week. Copies of each student's
grades will be sent to parents or
guardians.

1916 than Its budget allowances, and
the , receipts from sources other than
direct taxes fell about $15,000 short.
The city's debt as a result would have

not been that the budget Included an
Item of $25,000 for the taking up of the
