No Denial That the
Officers of Villa
Have Ousted the
Chiefs Men
No Statement Secured from
COahuiIa or ToTreOn

FL Paso, June 17.-General Fenustia-
no Carranza and Gen. Francisco Villa
tonight failed to deny that their rela-
tons had reached a breaking point.
Neither did their agents attempt to
give reasons for the forceful ousting
yesterday of all Carranza appointees
IN the offices at Juarez by Villas sup
porters.
A statement was issued today by a
Villa agent TO the effect that his chief
had authorized him to issue a general
denial of the reported estranGement
The statement was found later to have
been made without authority.
Pdrtisans of both Villa and Carran-
"a were unable today to get an official
expression from Coahuila, where Car
Torreon, where Villa evidently remain
ed.
The employees of the Juarez customs
house and telegraph office were sent
south today on special train. They
reported as having been placed by
Villas officers in the state penitentiary
at Chihuahua. However. according to
Roberto Pesueira, CaTanza's conf
Dental agent here. the men were sent
to Saltillo. This report was received
by agents of both factions as sar
castle action by the villa adheTents. 1t
was not denied from any source that
Villas soldiers had taken over tine
entire fabric of civil government that
heretofore was manipulated by Car
ranZa's cabinet officers.
II. PERI Abreu, who was in charge
of the Constitutionalst Information
Bureau, disappeared with the rest. AL
berto PAM, Carransa agent in charge
of The treasury department at Juarez,
escaped to American soil although all
his fellow employees were arrested.

ROOSEVELT SUFFERS
FROM TROUBLE IN
HIS THROAT AND IS
EXERCISING CARE

London, June 17.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt is suffering from an affec-
ton of the larynx as a direct result
of the hardships he endured in his re-
cent Brazilian trip. which will eff
fectually prevent him from taking
part in any oratory in the political
fight in the United States this fall and
compel him to exercise the greatest
care for some months to come.
This is my answer to those who
wanted me to go into campaign,
said Col. Roosevelt today, in describ-
ing the condition of his throat. IF
anyone expected me to do SO, | can
not now"
The announcement of the EXPIRES
ident's disability was made after he
had paid visit to Sir st. Clair Thorn
son, professor of laryngologia and
physician for diseases of the nose and
throat in Kings College hospital. The
exertion of addressing the Royal Geo
graphical Society last night brought
about elimination of the weakness
which Col Roosevelt's friends observ-
ed on his arrival in London
DR.. Thompson after a thorough ex-
animation pronounced the verdict that
Col. Roosevelt must not attempt to
speak in the open air or indulge in
extended speech making under any
circumstances for several months. He
said that the condition was the re-
suit of Col. Roosevelts last hard cam
paign as a primary cause and that
the Brazilian fever, from which the
Colonel had suffered, affected his
throat, settling as was generally the
case in such ailments, on the patients
weakest spot The ex-President ac-
cepted the situation cheerfully. He
announced that he would obey the
doctors orders with the object of
sparing his throat, and that he pro-
posed to keep to himself as much as
possible on shipboard and thus avoid
conversation with his fellow passen-
gers.
The Colonel may however, make an
occasional speech to small gatherings
during the course of the season.

turing these burglars, the glory OF
convicting them of their alleged mis-
deeds

man named Tucott on Bradbury street.
Efforts which have been made to
catch one of the suspected men with
