No inkling was given of what form this next development 'vould take. Responses from Zapata and his military advisers have reached the state department accepting the orfer of the Pan-American conferees to help arrange a peace meeting. With the receipt of this reply, Villa's ad herents here, whose leaders have al ready responded favorably, asserted that the postponed conference was as sured, even if Carranza should re fuse to participate. Administration officials heard of this announcement with interest, but said no arrange ments for such a conference were now in prospect. Carranza's .representatives' decided they expected his reply within a few days at the latest. They think it will come as ,soon as he completes the in stallation of his government at Mexico Gity.

With the arrest today of 26 Mexicans, po lice and federal authorities believe a plan to incite the Mexican population of San Antonio to violence has been nipped. According to the police and pris oners, all are adherents Yf the plan of San Diego, a manifesto which pro claims Texas a republic for Mexicans. Since the disturbances in the Brownsville territory special agents of the department of justice and police here have kept a watch to prevent a possible uprising in San Antonio. It was learned that mem bers of two organizations -of Imflamr matrJry nature are here in numbers. Three Mexicans, generally recog nized as leaders of the colony here, were arrested Sunday night while ad dressing a crowd of 1,000 Mexicans in a public plaza here. After one speaker declared "it is no harm to kill a Gringo and an Alla- main" an American and a German -police charged the meeting, and after a fight arrested the three speak ers. Following this incident a dragnet was thrown out and the 23 Mexicans taken into custody today. The prisoners .will be turned over to the federal authorities. Charges of treason may lie against them if they are connected with any plan for an uprising, it is said here. Officers Go ForKlingman.

Greensboro without requisi tien papers, but fearing the prisoner might change his mind, Sheriff Staf ford took the precaution to procure a requisition from Governor Craig on the governor of Washington. The officers expect to be absent about 20 days, though only a little over half of that time will be spent In actual traveling. Prior to his downfall and sudden departure from Greensboro Kilns man enjoyed the esteem and confi dence Of his associates in the com mercial, social and religions life of the city, and even now only expres sions of. sympathy are heard for the unfortunate man and his family.

Recently The Patriot quoted fig ures given out by Mr. E. G. Sherrill, a clerk in the office of the secretary of state's office, showing that Guil ford stood second among the coun ties of the state in the amount of money paid for automobile licenses. It develops that the information was slightly incbrrect, Mr. Sherrill send inS .revised Ages from Raleigh showing .that Guilford stands, at tne head of the list in this as well as so manv Athpr matters. The total secretary of state in license fees by Guilford county automobile owners for the fiscal year beginning July 1 is $5,885. Mecklenburg comes sec ond with $5,874.25 and Wake third with $4,399.29. Eighty per cent of this money is paid back to the coun ties from which it comes to be used in road work. There are those who refuse to be lieve that Guilford's primacy in this matter is a subject of exultation or congratulation. They argue that it ily shows that Guilford county has more extravagant people than the wealthier counties of Mecklen burg and Wake. It is a well known fact chat manf machines in Greens boro are mortgaged, and while it have mortgaged their homes to" buy au omobiles ePO wmM5 irA"u Wilmington, Aug. 31.

Going Into the rear of the plant and securing his gun, Merrick "returned and shot Hudson. He then made his escape. The officers are looking for him. To Witness Electrocution. One of the most interesting . wit- nesses to be present for the electro- cutlon of Charles E. Trull, the Char- ing for the murder .and robbery of Sidney Swain, will be Gus Russo, a well know Greek of Raleigh, who has been commissioned by authorities In "the old country" to observe the North Carolina method of adminls- tering the death sentence and report on it as compared with the guillotine method of beheading criminals that obtains in Greece. The special per mit for Russo to witness the electro cution was-.obtained from the prison authorities through te zecutire of- nee ot Governor Craig. A- MEXICAN.

Charged ivith Forgery. G. C. Hays was arrested at Ram- seur and lodged in Jail Tuesday charged with forgery and false pre tense. It seems that the young man, who is only 19 pears old, is a tele graph operator and .has worked at many places. He worked ' for some time at Johnson City, Tenn., going from there to Bristol, w'here he lost his job, and "being far from home and out of money, he is said to have forged a telegraphic money -order for $5&. As soon as he got his money he came home and soon, thereafter the telegraph company discovered the fraud and wired Sheriff Burk head to. arrest and hold hin The young man was at once placed 'in cus' tody and the authorities at Bristol informed. Hays seems disposed to make no trouble and says he will go back to Tennessee without, the trouble of extradition papers. Much sympathy is expressed here for his people, as they are among the best in Randolph county, and- especially with his young wife, who seems cruelly hurt. Cotton Mills Running Again. The Proximity and White Oak cot ton mills, which shut down August 1, -resumed operations yesterday. During the period of idleness the op eratives enjoyed a vacation and the machinery of the plants was over hauled.

Cone would manage to keep their big" plants running, and the operatives lost little or no sleep over the fsf of being thrown out of employment;' The scarcity of dyes is still a serious question with textile manufacturers all over the country but the more optimistic, mill men believe a way will be found to extricate themselves from the difficulty. latter military1 cnHfiV wwA Mr. J, H.
