Before morning. It Is believed, they will have Information Indicating where General Obregon will meet them for the conference and by the time they get there the war department will have forwarded its Instructions. Contradictory reports were received during: the day concerning the route being taken by Carranza's minister of war. At one time it appeared so certain that he was heading for Pledras Negras. opposite Eagle Pass, that the American chief of staff and General Funston made arrangement:: for leaving here tonight for that point. Soon after came the news that General Obregon was at Torreon and probably would continue from there to Juarez, nppoMte El Paso. General Scott believed that by leaving here tomorrow he, and General Funston would yet be able to R'et to either El Paso or Eagle Pass before General Obregon could arrive at either opposite point.

Charges" that German agents had sought to shift responsibility for the sinking of the steamship I.usitania to the Cunard Steamship company by attempting to persuade survivors to sue the owners of the liner for damages en the ground of negligence, were made at a meeting here today of persons who were passengers on the vessel at the time of the disaster. Joseph L. Myers and James I L.eary said they had been approached by a lawyer, now under Indictment for alleged violation of the neutrality laws, and told them If they would bring suits against the Cunard line for, $30,000 he would see that they received the money whether or not they won their caees. The meeting was called by a committee of survivors to take measures for concerted action to'recover for losses. Ogden H. Hammond, a member of the committee, said It was the purpose of the wealthier survivors to help those who had been unable to obtain legal aid In pressing their claims. An attorney representing Mr. Hammond advised the survivors that their primary claim Is the German government. against A committee of lawyers, was appointed to call a meeting of the legal representatives of all survivors on Saturday to prepare for united action. They will report to the survivors on N Monday. ence when. It was believed, the policy of the administration would be more clearly defined. General Pershing's disposition of his forces has enabled him to resist effectively or to begin an active campaign without loss of time. His men and horses have been stored In the past few days at the field bases at Namiqulpa and Casas Grandes. General Pershing's report today contained news of the encounter Colonel Dodd had April 22 with Villa forces at Tomasachie and of a minor engagement between a detachment of cavalry under Coloner Erwin at Cocomorachic two. days before, but since then there has been no encounter. It was regarded here as not Improbable that General Funston might inspect the troops In Mexico after the ' conference with Obregon. TONIGHT! jroew Walter Damrosch, Director, and HOFMANN ? - .
