RUMORED SCOTT
ORREGON WILL
AGAIN CONFER
A. P. A Service.
EL PASO, May 12—The ru
mor is current here that another
conference has been arranged be
tween Scott and Obregon and an
effort will be made to relieve the
present tense situation.
'Vhether the report has official
sanction or not cannot be ascer
tained, but as no denial is made
it is . accepted as having some
basis of fact.
It is significant that the mili*
tary are not displaying their
usual reticence concerning the
gravity of border conditions and
the prospects of a break are
openly discussed. Reports to
military headquarters from
points along the border indicate
that the Mexicans are showing
signs of wishing ito Return to
Mexico and a general exodus is
not improbable. Whether or not
the government will attempt to
stop them from crossing the bor
der is not determined as far as
known.__
ARMY BILL CONFERERS
FAIL TO AGREE
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, May n.—
The house and senate confer- ]
ence committee is totally unable ^
to agree on the terms of the army ]
bill and there is every prospect
that the passage of the measure
so much desired by the adminis
tration will be indefinitely de
layed. Not even the gravity of
the Mexican situation is suffi
cient to move the conferrers.
The senate committee con
tinues to insist that there must
be radical changes in the mili
tary program of the house com
mittee and those of the house are
equally insistent that the senate
program must be modified. In
official circles the sitaution is
looked upon as practically hope
less at present.
AUSTRIANS CLAIM
ITALIAN REPULSE
A. P. A. Service
VIENNA, May 12.—An at
tempt of the Italians to advance
their lines on the heights over
looking Tolmina was repulsed
with severe losses, says an offi
cial announcement of the war of
fice today. The attack of the
Italians was made under cover
of a snow storm blowing down -
ward from the upper Alps but
was detected and met with heavy
artillery fire which caused the
enemy to withdraw'.
REPORTED BALKAN
OFFENSIVE
DISCREDITED
By A P. A. Service.
ROME, May 12-—The report
ed renewal of the allied offensive
in the Balkans is generally dis
credited here. It is admitted that
the bombardment of the Bulgar
ian positions near the Greek
boundary north of Fiorina may
be true it is thought that it is
nothing more than an effort to
reduce the Bulgarian defenses
which are being greatly
strengthened and increased. Mil
itary critics assert that the time
is not yet ripe for a general ad
vance from the Salonika base.

NEWS NOTES
The Catholic Library Club
holds a farewell card party and
social at St. Joseph’s hall this
evening at 8:3o for members of
the club and their friends
Great docks of ducks, geese
and swans are reported to be
passing to the northward along
the shore ice and may occasion
ly be seen passing near the town.
As a result of the warm spell
of the past several days the side
walks are commencing to appear
along the back streets and the
customary procedure of keeping
in the middle of the road will
soon become a thing of the past.
A letter from Marshall City to
local parties describes the condi
tion of that camp as prosperous.
Little detail is given as to what
is going on beyond that there is
considerable activity in the line
of mining, and the outlook for
the coming season is good.
Mushers returning from Dime
creek report that small pay has
been found on the benches sev
eral tiers back from the creek.
It is stated that there has been
no development. Mining on the
creek properties is preceeding on
a few claims but the majority of
miners are laying off at present.
Letters of early spring dates
received here by the last mail
state that Capt. Louis Lane ex
pected to sail for Alaska on his
new power schooner on the ioth
day of May. From the same
source of information it is learn
ed that Mrs Lane will arrive on
one of the first boats and will re
main here during the summer. • •
Some of the signal corps boys
climbed the wireless tower to
take a look at the sea yesterday
and report that open water was
sighted, apparently about eight
miles out. Observations were
also taken the day before and re
vealed that the open leads were
much closer inshore than yester
day.
"Just in Time" a stirring detec
tive drama featuring Phillips
Smalley and Lois Weber is the
headliner at the Eagle hall mov
ing picture show tonight. A Vic
tor Universal, “The Blighted
Spaniard" and a Thanhouser
farce comedy “Pa’s Medicine”
are also on the program, the first
show will start promptly at 7
p. m.
Jack Orhem and Pete Brandt
returned to the city last evening
after a short sojourn at the Hot
Springs. The waters are declar
ed to be fine at present and the
trip was thoroughly enjoyed,
'ihe trails were found in excel
lent condition and the traveling
good. It is stated that Dr- Mus
a,rd, (ThonUf Lelimann, Fred
Daniels and the other members
of the party will probably start
on the return journey at the end
of the week.
About thirty tons of antimony
ore from the Strand-Hed mine is
being sorted and sacked near
Rowe’s lumber yard preparatory
to shipment to the outside on the
first returning boats. The min
eral was hauled in at various
times during the winter by the
Rowe teams. It is said that the
ore is not of the average grade
being largely composed of the
surface croppings of the vein and
contains much rock. The ship
ment is really in the nature of a
test to demonstrate the value of
the surface ores and the owners
will be satisfied if it pays no
more than the costs of handling.
There is an abundance of high
grade ore at the mine and also
several unprospected ore bodies
of considerable size. The prop
erty will be operated extensively
during the summer.
Natives arriving in town from
the upper coast this morning re
port that the sea is open nearly
up to Point Spencer the ice hav
ing broken off about six miles
from shore. They also state
that there is open water around
Sledge island and hunters are
able to reach the island with
kayaks. The aborigines state
that the Bear would have no dif
ficulty in reaching the island as
the sea is practically open west
of that point.
Today at 4130 is the limit of
time set by the postoffice depart
ment for receiving bids for the
proposed aerial mail service. As
the hour set is very near the clos
ing time of the public offices in
Washington it is hardly expect
ed that we will hear anything
concerning the results of the bid
ding until tomorrow.
A member of the signal corps
explains that the reason the
cables along the southeastern
coast go out of commission about
this time every spring is because
of the storms which annually de
velop on the North Pacific about
this period of the year. In addi
tion there are marked changes in
the ocean currents which have a
tendency to rupture the cables,
which are rather frail affairs ex
cept at points where they ap
proach the shore.
In a cable message to Ed
Young, Ward Estey states that
he is anxious to get away from
the Ellamar section as things
are “powerful cheap” down
there. Also says he has an offer
of a place with the road commis
sion but thinks he had better
leave his family in Seattle and
take a chance at Nome again.
Young is asked as to what he
thinks about the idea. It is thus
probable that the genial Ward
will be with us once more.
The cable is still interrupted
between Sitka and Valdez and
messages are being transmitted
over the gap by means of the
naval wireless. A great portion
of the news matter received to
day consists of delayed news
ffcom yesterday. Messages are
coming through regularly, ac
cording to the signal service of
ficials, but the navy is having
considerable difficulty in hand
ling the unwonted press of busi
ness. How long the cable will
be out of commission has not
been ascertained.
The Dream presents a Pathe
production tonight titled “Mad
Love,” in two parts This pic
ture is dramatically strong and
points fearlessly to a moral
which is delicately presented but
forcibly impressive. The char
acters and their relationship to
one another are portrayed open
ly and clearly, exposing skill and
polished acting. Another inter
esting picture is "The Redemp
tion of R. R. Jack,” a Selig, and
a split reel titled “He Fell in
Love With His Mother-in-Law.”
A beautiful scenic completes the
program.
