. However, the belief is general here
that the break between Villa and Car
rama is one which cannot now be
bridged and it is expected by many
that the loss to Carranza's prestige
as the result of Villas action will
weaken him as a candidate for the
presidency of Mexico.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

washington JunS liza udIIlS
yesterday between the Mexican rebel
gunboat Tampico and the federal
gunboat Guerrero near Topolobampo
was reported by Admiral Howard to
the Navy Department today. He said
the Tampico has probably been sunk
as result of the engagement.
Washington, June 17.-Particulars
of the situation in Northern Mexico
were anxiously awaited by the admin
istration today. The reported seiz-
use of the Carranza branches of gov
eminent in Juarez and the cities OF
Chihuahua state by friends Of Villa
admittedly has an ominous ring.
Whether it presages complete break
in the ranks of the constitutionalists
officials here cannot say.
The deadlock between the medi-
ators and both sides at Niagara Falls
shows no signs of being broken. The
U. S. commissioners have been en-
phatically told that no neutral will
be satisfactory to the constitutional
lists as a provisional president. The
Huerta officials say they will never
submit to a cOnStitutiOnallSt being
elected. Unless some way of compro-
mise can be found between now and
Friday it will be difficult for the me-
diators to continue their sessions.

Gen. Francisco Villa, all Northern
Mexico awaits anxiously for the rebel
chieftain in his apparent campaign to
seize the reins of power from the
hands of Gen. CaTranza. That Villas
resignation from the constitutionalist
army and his seizure of the tele-
graph offices was done to further any
personal ambition is denied by his
friends, who say he took action be-
cause he felt that the cause of the
constitutionalist government was be-
ing wrecked by Carranza's refusal to
listen to the advice of the U. S. and to

FAVOR MORE FUN FOR KIDS
Members of the school board favor
the campaign for more Fairgrounds.
Peter Reinberg, Dean Sumner and
John D. Shoop are strong for the idea
and will work for its advancement.
Reinberg believes that Aid. Lind
heimer's resolution, which passed the
city council Monday night, requesting
the school board to throw open all
school yards until 6 p. m. is a great
step in the right direction and will
meet with the approval of the board.
Dean Walter Sumner is enthusiast
tic over the plan. He has already
asked property owners to throw open
vacant property for the use of the
kids. One owner of property at Lake
and Morgan streets has already
thrown open the lot there and con-
tributed $25 with which to have the
ground fixed up.
Its a splendid idea," said Sumner,
land l can't see how any right-think-'
ing public official can oppose the
plan. l shall certainly do all l can
towards boosting. The trouble with
the school board lies in the fact that
it is in such a bad financial con-
dition that it can not carry on the
work by ITSELF -.. ...-
KNAB STRIKE CONTINUES q
George Knab, the restaurant man,
has again broken off negotiations
with the mattresses, cooks and
bakers unions Chances for an i'm
mediate settlement are said to be
slim. The grievance committee of
the Chicago Federation of Labor will
see Knab in a few days. The placing
of the Knab restaurants on the fed
Grafton unfair list win result if ~Knab
says settlement is impossible.
