By .Associated Press
\\ ashington. June 28.—Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City,
in a brief telegram dated yesterday and received at the State De
partment early to-day, said he expected to be handed to-day Car
ranza's reply to the American note demanding the release of soldiers
taken prisoner at Carrizal.
1 he message containing but two sentences, was the first word
the department had heard from Mr. Rodgers since he reported the
delivery of the note. It said it was believed the Mexican authorities
were investigating the Carrizal affair but gave no indication of
what would be the reply to the American demands.
To Go Before Congress To-morrow
There was nothing to indicate to-day that the Washington
government's position had undergone any change. Officials still
expect President Wilson to go to Congress to-morrow if Carranza
failed to act or replied unfavorably. Anything short of immediate
release of the American troopers will be unsatisfactory. No sug
gestions or proposal of negotiations in this regard will be accepted.
It was pointed out to-day that Sec
retary Lansing's note presenting the
demand sought to open no discussion
of the Carrizal incident. The fact that
the men were captured and were being
held was viewed, as a hostile act re
quiring immediate repudiation by the
de facto government through release
of the prisoners.
Believe Reply Is Unfavorable
Mr. Rodgers' statement that Car
ranza officials appeared to be conduct
ing an inquiry into the Carrizal clash
was interpreted here as indicating
rather that the reply would support
previous assertions that American
troops were responsible than that a
change of attitude was to be expected.
While it will not affect the general
policy of the government, a final re
port on the Carrizal fight from Gen
eral Pershing is awaited here with in
terest. The only account of Captain
Morey must be supplemented by that
of troopers who were with Captain
Boyd. A board of officers may be as
signed by General Pershing to as
semble a report based on the stories
of all commanders.
Eliseo Arredondo, the Carranza am
bassador designate, still had received
no word early to-day from his chief
about the status of the diplomatic ne
gotiations. Mr Arredondo has in
formed General Carranza of the deter
mined sentiment In the United States
demanding the release of the Ameri

License Clerk Wig-wags
Questions to Bridal Pair
When Thomas Howard Jones and

Gal'.adette College, Maryland, smiling
ly appeared at the Dauphin county
marriage bureau this morning and
suddenly did a lot of finger move
ments, all of the clerical staff of the
recorder's office but genial Jake Al
vord, the license clerk, stood agape
and wondered why under the stars
the callers didn't say something. Only
Mr. Alvord smiled knowingly—and he
wiggled or wig-wagged an answer.
Then he sat down and filled out a
marriage license.
To an astonished staff of fellow
clerks Mr. Alvord nonchalantly ex

around with a fellow who learned the
sign language pretty thoroughly and
he in turn taught me. Never thought
it'd be of any real value however,
until to-day. But it helped this
