rious lenders within a day unless In

ely depends the hope of the Pan-American
powers for a conference be

which may result In the establish
ment of a new government capable

appeal were forwarded to the gov
ernors of Mexican states, the military
arid civil authorities and to the diplo
matic representatives In Mexico City.
Whether Carranza will permit the
ilellvery of the peace appeal to his

sion before administration officiate.
It was necessary to cable the com
munication via Vera Cruz, where

Carranza will do this, but such ac
tion would cause ho surprise hers.

ant In official circles. Lansing and
the Latin-American envoys are hopa
ful that 'Carranza will respond will
ingly to the appeal and that hi re
sponse will prove on effective Influ
ence with hln most powerful llouten
nnlH. It was also believed that
should Carrnnza's lieutenants consent
to a peace conference with the other
factions, they could compel the "first
chief to acquiesce.

t has removed the mayor of Vera!
Cruz for permitting anti-foreign
demonstrations, according to advices
to the navy department which In.ll
citer! the mayor had been arrested.

WASHINGTON, Aug 14. The re
cent Mexican flurry was a plot to
stampede the United States Into war.
The president has uncovered It and
It. was pointed out that three hours
.Uer his arrival at Washington the
excitement subsided. The Identity of
the plotters la not public property but
an investigation is being made to dis
cover what interests are behind It.
The outatandlng facts are: ,When
Secretary Lunslng met the Latin-American
diplomats at New York while
the president was at Cornish those In
the plot felt the time for action had
arrived. The border trouble was
part of the scheme. The white nouae
knows that certain American Inteiests
for years offered sums to border "had
men'' to organize "armies" of Amer
icans und Mexicans and lead thorn In
to Mexico and then turn back against
the United States border, kill Ameri
can und destroy property and make
the Americans believe the Mexicans
were marching against thl country
n the hope of forcing intervention.
Tho present bordef trouble has the
eamarks of such a scheme.
The interests behind bandits en
gaged are regarded as being gulltv
of murder. The white hotiso knows
name of at least one prominent west
ern man who boasted for years he had
a ulandlng offer of a great sum of
money from certain American Inter-
tts, possibly backed by foreigners,
to organize a fake Mexican invasion.
Simultaneously with the border trou
bles the plotters worked up the Vera
Cruz senre. The president has learn
ed that foreigners were never en
dangered there but somehow the
Plotters stampeded a few of tho less
cool heads In the navy and warships
v ere headed for "southern waters."
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14. General
Funstnn reported that Carranz'.sta
soldiers are with the Mexican ban
cilts on the border but expressed the
opinion Carranza had not authorized
their participation In raids on Amer
lenn property.

cording to stories being brought in to
this place.
Young Ogilvy, it Is said, went to the
Dale homestead above the Ogilvy
Place and shot the dog which Is Mrs.
Dale's only companion on the place.
The story has It that Mrs. Dale ran
out of the back door Into some timber
and that Ogilvy fired twice in her di
rection. She wore a red shirt at the
time, and could be seen easily, but
both shots missed her.
What the trouble Is all about Is only
conjecture but that It Is not on out

The nomination of Mr. Scholl by hia

It Is probable that the appointment
will be made by County Judge Marsh
instead of by the court of which he is
the head, the law thus providing ac
cording to interpretations placed up
on it by a number of attorneys. Judge
Marsh states that he has not looked up
the law himself but that, in any event,

Inquiry here reveals the fact that
not only Mrs. Dale but Walter Ogilvy j

warrant for Ogilvy's arrest, declar

Ogllvys asked for the arrest of Mrs.

Hold-Up Man
Soon Landed
Behind Bars
PATROLMAN ROUNDS VP ROB
BER IX BRIEF TIME AFTER
MIDNIGHT EXPLOIT.
Only a short time after he had held
up Hubert Rieden and robbed him at
the point of a revolver, Coleman Gray
was himself forced to face the muzzle
of a six-shooter and to throw up his
hands. The second revolver was in
the hands of Officer Henry Thomp
son who had located him by the aid
of Mr. Rieden.
The hold-up occurred at the cor
ner of East Alta and College streets,
within a half block of the place where
M. E. Hutchison claims to have been
held up on Wednesday night. Mr. Rie
den. who is an employe of the Pendle
ton Auto Co., was going home about
midnight and had reached this corner
when a man stepped before him and,
sticking a revolver In his face, com
manded him to throw up his hands.
This Mr. Reiden did while the high
wayman went through his pockets,
taking a gold watch and $11. 55 in cash.
The footpad disappeared at once
after warning Mr. Rieden to keep qui.
et. Rieden. however, notified the po.
lice at once and went with Officer
Thompson on a search. They went
almost directly to the depot and in
the 'waiting room was a man whom
Rieden thought looked like the robber.
The officer sized him up as a "bad ac
tor" and decided to take no chances.
He drew his gun at once and. throw
ing it upon the man, ordered him to
hold up his hands. The man demur
red saying, "You've got the wrong
man" The officer insisted on the
hands going up and, upon searching
the man. found a " calibre Iver John
son revolver, fully loaded, Rieden's
watch and the stolen money. Not a
nickle had been spent
The man was taken to the police
station and. with the evidence so
strongly against him, admitted his
guilt, according to the police. "I saw
him earlier in the evening and knew
he had some money so I decided I
v anled it." was his explanation to the
police.
He gave the name of Clayton Gray,
declared he was formerly a soldier in
the regular army and that recently he
has been working near Walla Walla.
