Trouble Between villa and obregon

Details of the argument between
Obregon and Villa, which caused the
formers arrest, are as yet lacking. but
it is known they differed over the best
method of settling the local struggle
in Sonora. Villa deprived Obregon OF
his sidearms, but did. not restrict his
liberty to chihuahua. When Obregon
started for Mexico City he was de-
tanned at Torreon. Originally Obre-
gon and Villa had worked in harmony,
the former signing Villas demands,
which were to be placed before the ma
tional convention.
Advices from Vera Cruz told of a
panicky feeling among residents there.
Conditions in Mexico City. similarly
were described as critical. Many con-
fiscations of property have occurred,
against which the Brazilian minister,
In behalf of the United States, has
made vigorous representations. Prom
ises have been made of an investiga-
tion. but the offenses have been re-
peated. All agents Of the Washington
government report a crisis throughout
Mexico. o..

Clash May Be Delayed.

oficial advices today gave details OF
the break between Carranza and Villa
but indicated that a physical clash be-
tween the two forces would not be i'm
mediate. The official dispatches re-
vealed the following:
Gov. Maytorena Of Sonora has left
Nogales for Cananea with $500 men
and a Red Cross train. constitutional
ist forces under GensS BENJAMIN Hill
and Juan Cabral are east Of Cananea,
but are expected to fall back and not
give battle because Of the superiority
in numbers OF the forces Of Maytorena,
who Is friendly to Villa.
Five thousand men under Gen. Felipe
Angeles have been dispatched by Gen.
villa to Sonora, but the situation there
Is so unsettled that the exact align
ment Of the various factions is not
known.
Prospects Of peace in Sonora, how
ever. appear to have vanished.
Gen. Obregon, the Carranza command
er, who has been held practically as a
hostage by Villa, Is due in Ell Paso
late today or tomorrow, where he will
confer with George c. Carothers, Amer
lean consular agent at the border.
It was Obregon's detention which
caused Carranxa to suspend railroad

Dressmakers' club in the gold room of

Of displaying the products of their

If numbers spell success. this affair
was success. The only criticism
made on the management dwelled upon
the fact that one fftieth Of those de-

because Of lack of capacity.
The promenade in which twenty
five models took part, began at 2 and

Some bodices are all white tulle or

Dancing dresses are made of white
tulle with pleated ruffle and tunics.
Roman stripped girdles in light colors,

worn with these dresses. They are

Capes Of every description are used

The striking cape suit in my illustra-

cape is made with vest having long

the ripping cape. Three large onyx
buttons fasten the vest. The collar.

Negligees follow the costume style
closely and are made with cape and

suited to the loose comfort of these
