I, Clash Over Tent Pins. A row broke loose in the First Illi­ nois cavalry camp at midnight. Heads were cracked, eyes blackened, noses liquidated, tents torn down, and a general mob scene staged, with the re­ sult that Col. Milton Foreman ordered one whole troop under arrest and 'placed under guard. Troop I accompanied the Third squadron on an 18-mile practice hike. only man left in the camp was •M sick trooper, who is just recovering from an operation for appendicitis. At the same time the headquarters : troop, of which the regimental band is A unit, was ordered to move Its tents from their old location to a site be­ side the tents of Troop L Now, the band needed tent pins to bold down its canvas, and there were no pins. There was the almost desert­ ed camp of I troop and there were tent pins holding down the tents of the ab- isent men, who were oat on the first practice march they have had in the weeks they have been here trying to become soldiers. , Troop I returned at nightfall, and tried by every makeshift to make the tents habitable for the night. The :«4ck trooper informed his comrades' jtv^ere the missing tent pins were. Corporal Ferdinand Graber strode igallantly into the headquarters troop street, and under the winking moon jbegan plucking tent pins. The band •Was on his neck in a short time. He returned to his troop street and called out his comrades. The troop Istarted out to beat the band. The band was waiting for the attack. .About 130 men engaged in the me- which lasted ten minutes. At the end of that time many of the men were nursing black eyes and bloody Inooses, and the two troop streets Hooked like Columbus, N. M., after the «tfid. Upon the arrival of officers and the .guard quiet was restored. Troop I •was placed under arrest and the band iWas ordered back to its quarters safe and secure In the possession of stolen *tent pins. fWo Men Desert. ^ Another desertion from the First *; JUinois cavalry has been reported.

Illinois, Iowa and Virginia at Brownsville has stamped out the reign of banditry which existed in Mata- moros prior to the troops' coming, ac­ cording to statements made by Jose Z. Gam, Mexican consul at Browns­ ville. Two other factors entered into the effective suppression of bandit op­ erations, said the consul. First, a re­ awakened prosperity due to the big crops, which the last month of rains gives promise of; second, the moral strength that the presence of the Unit­ ed States soldiers has given to the Carranza garrison located at Mata- mofos, and extending its influence in­ to the surroundtng country. As evidence that his statement that a return to normal conditions in Mata- moros was at hand Consul Garza point­ ed to the new order from Mexico fix­ ing September S as the date for the election there of a municipal president and officials corresi>onding to mayor and aldermen In an American city. "This will be the first election held In Mutamoros since the fall of Madero three years ago," said Consul Garza. "That snch a state of relative peace has been established across the border is directly traceable to the presence of the large body of troops now at Brownsville. The presence here of so mobile a force as the Illinois cavalry has convinced the bandit leaders of the practical certainty of swift retribu­ tion for raids across the border into the United States in this district. Your American troops have made bandit op­ erations on the northern side of the Rio Grande an unprofitable and ex­ tremely perilous occupation. "They have at the same time bol­ stered up the strength of the soldiers under General Ricaud at Matamoros by giving bandits no encouragement that if cornered in Mexico they can escape the consequences of their deeds by flight across the Rio Grande to American soil. What Is the result of all this? Simply that banditry is no longer a paying business in this part of Mexico and the men have dropped their guns, taken up the plow and gone back to work again. They bad to or starve." Do March In Good Order. Hot and weary from a march of 13 miles, carrying 00 pounds of equip­ ment, soldiers of the First Illinois bri­ gade arrived at Ten Mile Hill, Tex., with the knowledge that few men had been driven from the ranks by heat and exhaustion, and that they had blotted out *11 stigma of the poor showing made while en route to Leon Springs two weeks ago. Punctual to the scheduled hour of 5. a. m. the advance guard started on Its way out of the military reservation to the Fredericksburg road. For the first two miles the men encountered mud and gumbo, which threatened to delay progress. Once on the main highway, though, the column made up /or lost time. Col; Daniel Moriarty and the Sev­ enth infantry were .first to get away. This regiment formed the advance and set the pace, which was to be a little moje than two miles an hour. The First Infantry, under commund of Col. Joseph B. Sanborn, followed, and Col. John J. Garrity's Second regiment formed the rear guard. Before leuvlng Brig. Gen. D. Jack Foster cautioned the officers against pfoceeding too swiftly. He urged them to try for a record and bring all commands to Ten Mile Hill Intact. Battery C returned to Camp Wilson from Selma, where the artillerymen had camped for the night on their first hike. Col. Charles M. 'Allen, who ac­ companied the battery, declared that the work of the men was surprisingly good and that they experienced no trouble in handling the horses newly issued from the government remount station. . Acting Captain Noble B. Judah was in command of the battery. Lauds Cavalry for Patriotism. Right hundred troopers of the First Illinois cavalry packed the T. M. C. A. building at Camp Parker at the formal opening of the association hall, and cheered Col. Milton J. Foreman when he told the men they were fulflling the most sacred of duties by leaving their homes to serve the country's in­ terests on the border. "You men of the First Illinois cav­ alry, who have left your families and positions in Chicago to answer the president's call to the colors, are dis­ playing the sort of patriotism that gave us our freedom in '76," said the colonel. "Just as surely as the country need­ ed men to stand by the flag in '61 and *98, Just so surely does she need your services today. You arc protecting American homes and lives down here and i want you to reulize It. But I haVe more respect for the men who, in Springfield, refused to take the mus­ ter oath than for any roan who did take the oath and now grumbles and whines to go home. Fortunately we have few of them among us." At the conclusion of the colonel's talk hundreds of hats sailed tnto the air and the man cheered for five min­ utes. EMPLOYEES REFUSE TO ACCEPT ARBITRATION--PRESIDENT yT' $ WILBON ACTS. ;,\f • . -- -- LEADERS GO TO WASHINGTON Comfort Bags for Troops. - Evanston women, led by Mrs. Rich­ ard Aishton, sent fifty "comfort bags" to the soldiers on the border, and more ure being made ready.

Executive Orders Committees of Work­ ers and Employee to Mtend Con­ ference at White House Before Walk- ©uU»£r?^d. Hew York, Aug. lfk--The defiant conference committee" of the railways and the defiant labor lenders of the Big Four Railway brtwjtherhoods left New York on Sunday* night for Wash­ ington on a summons to the White House from President Wilson, after the representatives of the 400,000 workers had told the United States board of mediation und conciliation flatly that they would arbitrate nothing und were about to order u national railroad, strike, stopping every train, passen­ ger and freight, on the 225 rail trans­ portation systems of the United States. A. B. Garretsoa, head of the labor forces, said: ' V " V ' -v ' " •' "Unless the president can' flhd i solution it means a strike." --' - 1 v The breaking off of negotiations came suddenly at four o'clock Sunday. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the president ; Judge W. L. Chambers of the federal board of mediation and con­ ciliation, Ellsha Lee, chairman of the committee of railroad managers; A. B. Garretson of the conductors, W. S. Stone of the engineers, W. S. Carter of the firemen, W. G. Lee of the trainmen, and: thirty railroad delegates, left New York over the Pennsylvania rail­ road for Washington. Secretary Tumulty arrived in New York at* nine o'clock Sunday evening bearing ra formal letter from President Wilson requesting a personal confer­ ence with the spokesmen for both sides before a formal strike was called. The president's letter, which was ad­ dressed to Ellsha Lee and Messrs. Garretson, Stone, Carter and W. G. Lee, follows: "The White House, Washington, Aug. 13.--I have learned with surprise and keen disappointment that an agreement concerning the settlement of the matters in controversy between the railways and their employees has proved Impossible. "A general strike on the railroads would at any time have a most far- reaching and injurious effect upon the country. At this time, the eff#ct might be disastrous. 1 feel that 1 have the right, therefore, to request, and 1 do hereby' request, as the head of the government, that before any final de­ cision is arrived at, 1 may have a per-, sonal Conference with you here. "I shall hold myself ready to meet yeu at any time you may be able to reach Washington. -* - "WOODROW WILSON." This action was taken by the presi­ dent after he hud communicated with the mediators who still seemed to doubt ,that the labor leaders were In earnest In their determination not to submit to any modification of their demand for an eight-hour day. Following the final word of. the brotherhoods, the discouraged media­ tors, who had hoped against hope until the last, issued this statement: "After repeated efforts to bring about an arbitration of the pending controversy between the railways and their employees in train and yard serv­ ice, the Utiited States board of me­ diation and conciliation was today advised by representatives of the em­ ployees that they would not submit the matters in dispute to arbitratior* la any form. "The employees further state to the board that they would not arbitrate their own demands, even if the con­ tingent demands of the railroads were withdrawn, and also declined to sug­ gest plan or method for a peaceful set­ tlement of the controversy. "They were informed that their decisjon would at once be made known to President Wilson, and also that the president claimed the right to a personal Interview with both parties before any drastic action was taken. This request was, of course, granted, and a large delegation of employees, with a number of rullroad managers, will be In Washington to­ day for a conference with the presi­ dent. Early in the negotiations the railroads had informed the board of mediation and conciliation that they would accept arbitration." Ellsha Lee, chuirman of the com­ mittee of railroad managers, says that the mediators' statement con­ tained all that was to be said. For the railroads A. B. Garretson, head of the conductors' union, said: "After Invoking mediation, the na­ tional conference committee' of the railways had not in any yay consent­ ed to mediation, but expected all the mediation to be done on the side that had not invited it."
