SPLIT NOW SEEMS COMPLETE

Difficult to Compose.

Ell PASO, July 4-Further evidence OF
the completeness of the Carranza- Villa
split was found in an injunction on file
in the state district court here today
which prevented the entry into Villa ter
ritory of 100000 pesos In constitutionalist
currency recently printed by an American
company. The action was taken by Car
ranza agents here.
The Issue had been ordered before the
internal troubles of the constftutionalsts
had reached a breaking point which has
resulted in the conferences between the
military leaders in progress today at
Torreon. The money arrived here con-
signed to national treasury officers at
Juarez and the Carranza representatives
at once asked the Injunction against the
express company handling the oonsign-
ment and Lazaro De La Cara, Villas
agent at Ell Paso. The paper. of the reg
ular national constitutionalist fiat issue,
will be held until disposition of the case
can be made.
The first public demonstration of the
trouble between the commanders resulted
in the confiscation at Juarez of funds OF
the national constitutionalist currency and
the arrest of the treasurer general and
other employees. Ell Paso has been dis
tributing point for the national currency
Carranza recently authorized an issue of
100000 pesos in his fiat currency, which
was intended to dissolve the various state
issues. Villa, as representing the Chihua-
hua state government, was to have re-
ceived his proportion of this new issue,
which was represented in the consignment
seized here.
Another Suit in Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 4.-With next
moves in the attempts to restore peace in
Mexico by mediation still awaiting Car
ranza's decision on the invitation to enter
into negotiations with Huerta, administra-
ton Officials %tOa6y keenly watched de-
velopments at Torreon, where a military
commission was trying to patch up diff
ferences among the constitutionalist lead
ers Messages from the border express
ing confidence that at least temporary
compromise between Villa and Carranza
would be effected encouraged President
Wilson and his advisers and the Washing
ton agents of the revolutionaries.
Court proceedings over the delivery of
some currency engraved in Washington
for the constitutionalists were interpreted
as one development of the dissension
among the leaders of the northern fac
tion. Attorneys for Felicitas Villareal,
Carranzas secretary of the treasury, ap-
piled in the district supreme court for an
order to compel three express companies
TO show cause why they should not be
enjoined from delivering notes of face
value of several million pesos now en- route
20 the border. Justice Anderson signed
the order, which Is returnable Monday.
In his petition Villareal charges that
Santiago S. Winfield had not forwarded
from Washington sin the proper manner
a final consignment of new money but
had addressed it to himself or con-
federate on the border. The petition de-
clared there was danger that the money
would be diverted from the constitu-
tionalist cause"
None OF the constitutionalist agents In
Washington would discuss the proceed
ings IL was said, however, that Winfield
was an adherent of villa. The order
would not act as restraint on the express
companies, it was declared, pending the
action on the petition next Monday.
Difference of opinion on Carranzas
action on the invitation to send ENJOYS
10 discuss Mexico's internal complica-
tions with Huerta excited much discus
cussion today. Fernandez Iglasias' per-
sonal friend OF Carranza, authorized the
statement that the constitutionalist leader
would not enter conference except upon
the terms Of surrender.
