Political observers had but one explanation to offer to his turn in the situation, and- that was that a wrong interpretation had been put upon the meeting. Adherents of Senator Root jumped to the conclusion that Colonel Roose- velt was to stand behind his former secretary of state and pull the Pro- gressive party with him. Adherents of Justice Hughes had concluded that the Colonal and Mr. Root had met to discuss the best ,:ay to put up Mr. Hughes as the candidate of both par.. ties. --__--____-__ Fortification Bill P resenzted inHouse LUNDGREN NAMIES SOUTHERN TRIP BASEBALL SQUAD TEAM LEAVES FOR TOLEDO THIS EVENING AT 7:40 WITH 15 MEN SODDY 61IYES UP ANNUAL TOUR Battery Choice for First Game With Kentucky Will Be Miller and Dunne Following is the Michigan bat- ting order for tomorrow's game against the University of Ken- tucky in Lexington: Win.

INLANDER TODAPPEA AFER SPRING RECESS Magazine Will Comprise 28 Price Has Been Fixeda .p Ten Cents The Inlander, Michigan's magazine, will make its first; Pages at literary appear- Following the appearance of the Michigan. baseball squad before the eligibility committee last night, Coach Lundgren announced that the follow- ing 15 men would make the southern trip: Newell, Smith, Warner, Walterhouse, Labadie, Wm. Niemann, Brandell, Dunee, Arentz, Robins, Miller, Andrus, Ohlmacher, Roberts and Caswell. The "team, which will be accompanied by Coach Lundgren and Student Manager Sidney Steen, will leave Ann Arbor for Toledo tonight at 7:40 o'clock. The above lineup is much the same as the coach has been using for th past 'week in the daily workouts on Ferry field. Tom Soddy, the only vet- eran on the Michigan pitching staff, decided at the last minute to pass up the annual southern tour in order that he might stick to the big'books a little1 more closely for the present. Coach Lundgren stated that the team needed Soddy badly but that he respected the left hander's decision. Coach ILundgren stated last night that the chances were Robins would be pressed into service tomorrow aft- ernoon against the Kentucky outfit, although Miller will open the game. Neither of these two boys has received enough outside work to enable him to step through a full game as nicely as they will be able to do later on. Hence the coach has about decided to whack the burden and the chances are that the pair will og about 50-50. "Morry" Dunne will be behind the plant hand- ling Miller, with Arentz held in re- serve. The team will work out today on Ferry field as usual.

TROOPS IN CHI- HUAHiUA COMPLETED, HE THINKS LEADER SOUGHT NEAR SATEZO P ershings Column Hunts for Bandits in Country Around Scene of GuIerero Battle .l Paso, April 6.-General Obregon, minister of war for Mexico, is confi- dent that Villa has been completely crushed in the Chihuahua campaign, and that as a result of this fact the work of the United States punitive expedition in Mexico has been vir- tually completed. I n a dispatch' today to Consul Gar- cia, Obregon advised that, according to information from Chihuahua, Villa has been defeated in several engage- men ts with the Constitutionalist forces The telegram reads in addition" that "General Gutierrez, chief of the forces in Chihuahua state, has assured many that it will not be long before Villa is cuptured." American Mission Partly Performed The Constitutionalist authorities have authoritatively stated that Villa's men are routed, and that he himself is wounded is construed by the Con- stitutionalists as the first step in the acknowledgment to American troops that their mission in Mexico has been lerformed. Neither Consul Garcia nor General Gutierrez would talk today upon the question of the use of the railroads in Mexico by American troops. Gen- eral Gaviera was also reluctant in expressing himself upon the passage of American troops any farther south. WILL FIGHT SOUTH OF SATEZO San Antonio, April 6.-Somewhere south of Satezo probably will figure frequently in future reports of mili- tary operations against Villa. Out of the great mass of unofficial and conflicting i reports, General Funston and his staff have found none they regard more probable than that made by Consul Lechter of Chihuahua, sev- era! days ago, when he said Villa was a short way south of Chihuahua. General Pershing has made no re- cent reports as to Villa's whereabouts or concerning the movements of the advance cavalry, but General Funston said today he had no doubt that by this time at least one detachment had gone as far as Satezo. From Satezo, trails lead east and south and if Villa did go to Satezo it is regarded as prac- tically certain that he has continued toward Parral. Pershing Still Searching General Pershing is still searching the district-about Guerrero with cav- alry and infantry, but this is being done to clean out that part of the band which scattered at the fight at Guerrero, and also to locate Villa, who many insist is still hiding within half a day's ride within Guerrero. Fifty prisoners, including women and children. were murdered by band- its between Torreon and Cacatecas on March 28, when the marauders wrecked the train on which they were riding, according to word re- ceived from Laredo today.
