CARRANZA MAY
BECOME CANDIDATE
Agreed Upon Arrangement Provides
That No Military Man Shall be
Elected President - Satisfaction in
Washington.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-The basis
for the recent assertion Of President
Wilson that he believed that Carranza
and Villa would cooperate in restor-
ing constitutional government IN Mex
leo was revealed here yesterday when
it became known that Gen. Oregon,
personal friend of Gen. CarrauZa. had
signed the proposals OF Gen. Villa for
an electoral program. Gen. Villa $ pro
posals were laid before Paul Fuller,
personal representatives Of President
Wilson, at a recent conference in CHI
huahua. The President later told call
ers that the proposals did not appear
unreasonable. Mr. Fuller had an inter
view with Gen. Carranza in Mexico
City Yesterday and it was reported
that the first chief also Indicated his
assent to the program mapped out by
Villa. which is as follows:
That = convention OF the delegates
of the constitutionaEst army be cali
eel to arrange the date of the election
for congress, president and vice pres
ident.
That no military man be a candi-
date for president or Vice president or
for governor OF any state.
That a civilian take charge Of the
provisional government to hold elec-
tious.
That a general amnesty be declared
except as to those VINO committed the
| crime or participated in the assassi-
| nation of Madero and Suarcz.
/ That the officers of the old federal
| army who can show clean records shall
! be taken into the new national army.
That all reforms shall be put through
/ in an energetic manner. but on a le-
/ gal and constitutional! basis.
Gen. Carranza already has complied
with the first proposal by calling a gen
| eral convention for Oct. ! to select &
provisional president Under the Mex
lean constitution the provisional presi
dent cannot be a candidate in election,
| conducted under his administration
Gen. Carranza. therefore, if DESTROYS oil
becoming provisional president, viii
not be in office longer than the perioC
necessary to conduct an election. Il
he resigns as first chief in favor of tn,
new provisional president, he may en-
ter the presidential race as his Friends
claim he is not a ''military man il
the accepted sense IN Mexico ever
though he has held the title of "gen
eraI' in the constitutionalist army.
The belief prevails in Washington
that Carranza viii resign in favor of
civilian as proposed by Villa and tina
he then will wage an active politica
campaign for the presidency. 1t i
fully expected that Villa will not SUP
port Carranza at the polls but he ha
not revealed the identity Of his can
didate.
1t is generally understood in Wash
ington that while formal recognitio
may be extended to the new provision

Laughter In supreme Court.

The Supreme court of the United
States Is absolutely and indisputably
supreme when 1t comes to solemnity,
dreariness and gloom. People do not
laugh once a year in that funereal-
looking chamber. All you have to do
is to set foot inside OF 1t In order to
understand that the dispensing Of jus.
tice is a heavy, ponderous and seri-
Gus AFFAIR.
Not long ago, however. Mr. Justice
Lurton made the lawyers, the auditors
and the other justices laugh right out
loud.
A lawyer from the South was argu-
ing case concerning two secret fra
ternal lodges.
May the court please" said the
lawyer heatedly, the opposing lodge
not only got hold OF our ritual and
used 1t. but also got our insignia and
regalia."
Just a moment" interrupted Judge
Lurton. Did they also get your goat?"

The smuggling of precious stones

liveliest Of live" industries in spite of
all the efforts of the authorities to
stop It, Some of the tricks employed
seem to touch the limit of human In

in this line-cleverest because the
simplest--stands to the credit Of q
Chicago man.
He would buy 100000 worth of dia-
monds In London or Amsterdam. and
hide them behind panel Of the wall
of his cabin. On the ships arrival at
New York he would walk calmly

in their hiding-place. but going

gaging the same cabin for the return
voyage. When the time came for
the vessel to sail he went on board

Napoleon and tho Balloon.

When Napoleon was young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness
the ascent Of balloon in the Champs
de Mars. He entered, unperceived,
the Enclosure which contained the ball
loon, which was then very nearly full
and about to ascend, and requested
the aeronaut to allow him to enter
the car. The request however was
refused. the reason given being that
the feelings of the boy might embar-
rass the aeronaut.

little cadet, enraged at the refusal,

apparatus which had been construct
ed with infinite labor and ingenuity.
Such was Napoleons first and last
attempt to ascend in a balloon.
