No Steps Expected Until After Conference at

ANGELES CASE IS
 BONE OF CONTENTION
Carranza Agents Confident Rupture With Villa Soon Will Be Adjusted. May Meet for Conference
 in New York

Washington. July 6.--The Mexican situa- tion tonight appeared to be at stand still It was generally believed here that no arrangements for meeting to set tie Mexicos internal troubles could be made until the conference at Toreron be- tween Villas and Carranza's generals concluded an adjustment of differences be- tween the constitutionalist leaders. This probably will consume several more days. { pr. Romulo s. Naon, Argentina min lister, one of the South American me- diators, today discussed mediation at length with Secretary of State Bryan. After the conference Mir. Naon reiterated his expression of hope that Carranza and Villa soon would adjust their troubles and that Carranza would be authorized by the leaders of the revolution to send delegates to confer with Huerta's rep Tesentatives.
 Agents of General Carranza here re- ceived reports from the CarranzaN Villa conference at Torreon which, they in sisted, held out strong encouragement that all the internal troubles of the con- stitutionalists could be amicably settled. The case of General Angeles Villas chief of artillery, whom General Carranza re- 1 gently denounced, is said to be the chief matter of contention now. Politicians are reported to have misrepresented Angeles to Carranza. and it is predicted that An geles will be restored to the confidence of the first chief
 May Meet in New York
 Should the joint conference between Huertistas and Carranzstas eventually be arranged. it is believed it will be held in New York. Meanwhile, the American commissioners and the South American mediators are ready to take up me1ia- tion again as soon as the proposed joint conference shall have been held.
 Meagre reports of yesterdays election in that part of Mexico controlled by Huerta, in which General Huerta is said to have been reelected, though by such la scant vote that the election may be ~declared void, caused no excitement in 1official circles here. President Wilson smilingly declined to comment upon it There was an undercurrent report. how ever, that the election was designed to pave the way for some strategem by Huerta. The rumor still persisted that he contemplated turning the office over to Pedro Lascurain and leaving the country Unofficial reports were circulated that q special train bearing members of General Huertas family and families of some of his generals had left Mexico City during the day for Puerto Mexico.
 Jose Vasconcelos, one of Carranza' 2 agents, left tonight for Saltillo to confer with his chief.
 An echo of trouble arising over the printing and misdirection of 30.00O0 GOO pesos of constitutionalist money in Washington l came today when warrant was issued and forwarded to El Paso for the arrest of Santiago S.

POLITICS HOLD
STAGE TODAY
IN MICHIGAN
By United Press.

Dy OuitSd hIccS.
Detroit, Mich Sept. 30.-Politics
held the center of the stage In lMichi-
gan today when the fall conventions
of the three big political parties-Dem.
ocratic, Republican and Progressive
assembled. The Democrats held their
sessions here, the G. 0. p. forces met
in Kalamazoo, while the Bull Moosers
held forth at Bay City.
Each party was to make its nomina-
tions for the offices Of secretary OF
state, auditor general, attorney gen,
eral, state treasurer and state land
commissioner, in addition to selecting
new state central committeeman and
drafting platforms.
Interest centered in the Democratic
conventions, where the long standing
fued between the "Wilson-Democrats'
and the Wood-Shields faction threat
ened trouble. State Chairman Shields
said early today that the "organiza-
ton" wing would be in complete con
troll, although the 'Progressiyes''
promised to make last-ditch fight for
the seating of their contesting delega-
ton from Wayne (DetroiD Calhoun
and Delta counties. Success in this
fight would give them control of the
convention and subsequent control OF
the party organization in Michigan.
There was every indication that the
Republican gathering in Kalamazoo
would be serene and peaceful. The one
chance of a serious clash apparentely
rested in the possibility that Chase 5,
Osborn, the nominee for governor, and
the party leaders might not agree on
platform planks. Osborn several
months ago went on record as favor
ing the recall of judicial decisions, but,
when this issue threatened to stir up
internal strife in the party he an
nounced that he would make no effort
TO dictate his radical views into the
party platform.
Contests for places on the various
party tickets were comparatively few
and mostly unimportant.

mortgage Henry had not spoken. Dow
ney at that time said that he was go
ing to pound Henry's face or make
him pay the amount.
Il told Faunt he had better not try
to beat Henry's face because Henry
would kill him before he would take
a beating said the witness.
The witness stated that Henry Cor
nett's reputation was good in the COM
munity in which he resided The CROSS
examination of the witness by County
Attorney Simpson failed to shake any
statement. The reputation of the two
men involved was equally divided, ac-

Simpson asked what was the repu-
tation Of Downey in that neighbor-
hood?" 1T was good answered the
witness.

Oscar Shirley on the stand stated
that when the shooting occurred he
was sitting on a counter in the Ellis
store. A few moments before he had
seen Henry and Ed Csrnett and Dow
ney in store Henry asked Ed if he
was ready to go home and Ed replied
that he was. In few minutes the
three went out on the sidewalk. Wit
ness didn't know whether they went
out together or not, not paying par.
ticular attention at the time.
He heard Downey talk but did not
understand what he said The first
that attracted his attention was Henry
Cornett jumping back "Downey made
at him." said the witness. Henry
pulled his gun, and threw down on
Faunt two or three times. 1t looked
like Downey was trying to get to him,
1t looked like Henry had time to shoot
two or three times from the time he
pulled his gun to the first shot. It
seemed like an awful time
Witness told of Downey's actions
after the first shot, stating that Dow

head and pushed on toward Cornett
