D. E. CROWLEY
MEXICAN OFFICIALS SCOW
LITTLE CO-OPERATIVE SPIRIT
t\. P. A. Service
WASHINGTON, May io.—
That the pronnsea co-operation
of the Carranza government in
the task of running down the ban
dits m northern Mexico has not
developed to an appreciable ex
tent, is the declaration of Sec
retary of War Baker.
In a statement relative to the
situation today, Baker admitted
that tile Carranza troops had at
times shown a co-operative spirit
and on several occasions had
worked with the American force*
for brief periods
“But,” the secretary continued,
“while Pershing reports that the
Carranzistas have at times acted
in conjunction with the Ameri
can forces it is evident that such
action was wholly on the part of
the commanders in the field and
in no instance long sustained. As
a rule the American forces have
been left to work alone, regard
less of the difficulties. The or
hauls of the defacto government
nave shown not the slightest m~
dination to assist the Americans
and there has been about as lit
el co-operative activity on their
, art as could be expected."
Referring to the present situa
tion along the border Baker said
.hut the orders given by the de
partment yesterday sending
more troops to the boundary
were made on the strength of a
joint resolution of General's
Scott and Funston and were
without significance in connec
tion with the Scott Obregon con
ferences. Regarding the prog
ress of these conferences, con
cerning which little has been al
lowed to reach the public, Baker
said that General Scott is at
present awaiting a communica
tion from Obregon concerning
certain features of the border
protocol. Beyond this the sec
etary refused to discuss the sta*
i ms of the conferences.
STRONG TESTIFIES
BEFORE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION
A. P. A. Service
SEATTLE, May io.—Gover
nor Strong of Alaska apeared be
fore Examiner LaRoe of the in
terstate commerce commission
today and gave much interesting
testimony concerning the trade
and commerce of the northern
territory and its relation to west
ern traffic.
Among other things the gov
ernor called the attention of the
commission to the growing tour
ist traffic of Alaska and declared
that the tendency to increase
traffic charges would have the
effect of decreasing tourist trav
el to a considerable extent. Ask
ed as to what might be the effect
of diverting traffic from Chicago
west via the southern routes
with respect to tourist traffic to
Alaska, the governor answered:
"It would tend to decrease it "
