BROWNSVILLE, Tex.. Sept. 13.
One United States trooper was kiUed
and two others wounded, one proba
bly fatally, when a gang of Mexican
bandits early today attacked the
American patrol of seven men at an
Irrigation pumping plant several
miles up the river from this point.
The soldier killed was Private Kraft,
who received a wound through the head.
Private Forney was shot through the
back and la expected to die. Private
Walsh also was wounded, but hla con
dition is not considered serious.
The firing was heard by nearby de
tachments, who located It at the pumping
plant on the Los Indlos project, but as
sistance, which was rushed to the be
leaguered men, came too late to prevent
the casualties. The squad of troopers
was fired upon from the darkness by a
gang estimated at forty. It Is thought
that the bandlta have crossed Into Mexico.

I The first of these arrivals waa James J.
Hill, railroad builder and financier of St.
' Paul. Mr. Hilt waa said to be provided
1 with data upon which he based his be
' lief that the flotation of a mammoth
credit loan here to Great Britain and
France la of more vital Interest, perhaps,
to the United Slates than to the two
countries seeking the loan.
Festus J. Wade of St. Louis, prominent
in financial circles In the west waa an
other out-of-town banker who waa reg
istered here today. Bankera from Ohl
i cogo and Cincinnati also wero said to be
j In town on. their way here,
I The commission, It la understood, waa
j not all heartened by the reault of the pre
I Ilmlnary canvass of financial Institutions
j throughout the country a few weeks ago.
This canvass showed, according to relt
! able reports, that not more than 1100,000,
i 000 or flGO.ono.OOO could have been sub
I scribed toward the proposed foreign credit
j loan at that time. The minimum amount
I sought by the commission la STiOO.OOO.OOO.
I Ilecently the talk haa been of a il.000.0oo,-
000 loan.
I Aid, therefore, from out of town flnan
; tiers and a general realisation of the cloae
; communion between the establishment of
i the credit and the continuance without
j check of the great volume of Amertoan
exports were welcomed by the commit.
Mon and local financiers alike. The sen-
tlment voiced iln Wall street today waa
that the time had come for the bankers 1
of the country and every one elae inter
ested In the continuance of American
prosperity to help the commission in ac
complishing 1U Uak.
The cotnmisslon cloaked its movements
today and even Its whereabouts with se
crecy. It waa said that a meeting was
being held, but where or with whom waa
not divulged.
; Later in the day It developed that the
meeting was between the oommlsslon and
J. P. Morgan, Henry P. Davidson of the
Morgan firm, and, Frank A. Vanderllp,
president of the National City hank.
Messrs. Morgan, Davidson and Vanderllp
called at the Hotel BUtmora, where the
Commissioners are staying, and were the
commissioners' luncheon geata The con
ference lasted well Into the afternoon.
The commission late oday deviated
from IU policy of having American
financiers call to see them at their head
quarters by . sending Sir Babblngtoa
Smith on their behalf to the office of
James J. Hill, railway builder and finan
cier, to obtain from him his views on
the proposed big credit loan.

The ambassador made- It clear, however,
that th situation had not com to an Im

might be agreed upon.
Secretary Lansing, Ilk the ambassador,
refused to discuss his conference In any
