CRISIS IS STAYED BY TROOPERS’ RELEASE Immediate Break With Mexico Averted by Action of Carranza. ANSWER TO NOTE IS AWAITED Preparations at Border to Go Stead; ily Forward— Diplomatic Nego tiations Thought Possible. Washington, I). C .— An immediate break between the United Statea and the de facto government haa been averted by compliance with the Amer- lean demand for releaae o f the 23 troo|>ere captured at Carrizal. Whether a atate o f war haa been prevented or merely poatponed no one here would attempt to aay. Official information aa to the attitude of Gen eral Carranza was lacking. Until hia reaponae to Secretary Lansing's note, diapatched Sunday, making two per emptory and diatinct demanda, ia re ceived, there will be no deciaion on whether President Wilaon ahall lay the criaia before congreaa. The newa o f the releaae of the pria- onera, received late Wedrieaday in preaa diapatchea, brought undiaguiaed relief to high officiaia. It waa ac cepted aa correct, although no an nouncement haa come through official aourcoa. Moreover, it waa aaaumed that Carranza, impreaaed with the urgency o f the aituation, had ordered the captured cavalrymen atarted for the liorder without waiting for hia an nouncement of the action to reach Waahington. While it ia generally conceded that thia move leaaena tenaion and makea the criaia leaa imminent, no one con- veraant with the grave problem ia loa- ing aight o f the fact that the all-im- |N>rtant queation of Carranza’« attitude toward the American ex|>edition acroaa the border to protect the territory and citziena o f the United Statea from bandit outragea remaina unaettled. If the de facto government atanda upon the ordera o f General Trevino to at tack I’erahing’a men when they move otherwiae than toward the border, the aituation actually ia juat what ia waa before, except that there now ia a poa- aibility o f diplomatic negotiation« that did not exiat while the Americana were held priaoner in Chihuahua. The preparations o f the United State« W ar department w ill go stead ily forward. There w ill be no inter ruption o f the rush o f National guards men to the border, and General Fun- aton will continue disposition o f the forcea under hia command aa though he expects an immediate attack from the Mexicans. Congress Drops Provision to Aid Dependent families of Guardsmen Washington, D. C.— An agreement under which the army draft reaoultion wiU be put through, without any pro vision for relief o f de|rendent fam ilies o f National guardsmen drafted into the Federal service, waa reached late Wednesday by the house and senate leaders. A conference report elim i nating entirely the relief proposal on which the conferees had split was ap proved by the house without opposition juat before adjournment and is expect ed to be accepted by the senate. In submitting the conference report to the house, Chairman Hay, of the m ilitary committee said the house con ferees had consented to sacrifice their $1,000,000 re lie f proposal only after Secretary Barker had telephoned to the capitol that immediate passage o f the resolution in some form was impera tive. Mr. Hay announced he would intro duce the appropriation section as a separate bill and Speaker Clarke said he would entertain a motion Monday fo r passage of the measure under a suspension o f rules. As finally agreed to, the resolution authorizes the president to use as Fed eral soldiers nil members o f the Na tional guard w illing to take the re quired oath for Fedrcal service and permits consolidation o f scattered and incomplete guard units. Uncle Joe Would Invade. Washington, D. C. — Republican criticism o f President Wilson’s Mexi can policy marked debate in the house Wednesday on an urgent deficiency ap propriation bill, carrying approximate ly $28,000,000 asked for by the War department to cover pay, equipment and transportation o f National Guards. Ex-Speaker Cannon attacked what he called a “ wishy-washy” course and ad vocated going into Mexico with large forces to set up a m ilitary government.

In fact, Portland jobbing prices are below a parity with C alifor nia. It is believed there are enough beans here to meet the restricted re quirements during the remainder of the old-crop year, but i f the supply is exhausted, it cannot be replenished at existing prices. W hile the main fac tor in the strength o f the market is the government demand, there is little doubt that speculation has played an important part in bulling prices in the South. The available supply o f white t>eans in California is limited, and ap ireara to have passed into strong specu lative hands. Advices received from San Fran cisco said small whites were practi cally cleaned up at shipping points at 9A cents and very few Lady Washing tons were left at 9 cents. There was a good demand for Limas, which were advancing in sympathy with the high prices o f white beans. Three of a Kind Sherbet.

It may be said that the man o f commonplace intelligence can see as far into a stone as the man o f science. But not necessarily so. Both may observe the same object externally, but the scientist, with his intellectual insight quickened by observation and learning, can read into the age, composition and general structure o f the stone that which would be impossible to the man of untrained mental power.

Now it will be possible to sit reading In peace on your porch at night while the electro cution trap kills off the insects that would naturally seek you as their prey. Upon an Insulated frame two naked metal conductors are coiled In a splraL with sufficient space between the wind ings. The two conductors are connect ed with a source of electricity in such a manner that the current cannot cir culate until it is actually used In kill ing an insect - This is one of the advantages of the> invention, for in this way no current can be wasted. Insects may be at tracted to the electrocution either by water or by any other attractive sub stance. At night time electric lig h t» are the best. As quickly as an Insect touches t h » bait or the light and comes in contact with any two of the live wires they drop down Into the bottom of the trap. The current Is very slight and passea through the Insect only for a moment. Uses Tissue Paper Now.
