Gomez went to the police station last
night, but at the crisis it was found
that no evidence existed against him
He had violated no city ordinance OF
state law which sufficed for the po,
lice and Mr.. Ross declared that he
had no authority to make an arrest.
The prospective provisional president
thereupon repaired TO an obscure hotel
where, having thrown up bulwarks
against reporters, he spent the night in
peace,
That he was not quite certain of the
attitude Of the United States authori.

monty used bridges where khah-clad
soldiers are on guard, but. proceeded
to the smelter bridge, mile west Of
the city proper. An automobile was
waiting and he was driven rapidly back
to Juarez.
