When the time comes for the lorna
ton OF a provisional government, il
aver Il comes. the idea OF the admins
,ration which will be presented at
Niagara Falls is that there should re
a commission government, composed OF
either neutral members or OF repre-
sentatives Of all factions. One OF the
great obstacles is recognized to be the
difficulty of obtaining neutral members,
az almost every one OF Importance ana
ability in Mexico is allied with one
faction or another. Another obstacle
is that the ConstitutionaIists Will not
accept any government other than one
OF their own mailing.
Officials Of the government who have
hitherto been most skeptical of any
valuable result from the mediation
are now changing their minds. Some
Of them believe that solution OF the
whole problem will be attained, al
though all admit that probable success
must be measured by the attitude or
the Constitutionalists.
President Wilson is apparently TAX
ing direct charge of the negotiations
in Niagara Falls. A telegraph line
from the quarters of the American
mediators has been run to the White
House and the American delegates are
at all times in direct touch with the
President. Several messages were re-
ceived over this private wire to-day.

Shoots Down Federal Gen
eral and 80 Aids After
Battle of Zertuche.
VICTIMS SURRENDERED
AS WAR PRISONERS
Saltillo Holding Out Against Su-
perior Forces After Two
Days of Fighting.
fBy Telegraph TO The Tribune


Juarez, May 20.--Vengeance and lust
for blood apparently are the dominat-
ing factors in the battle which General
Pancho Villa is waging against the
Federals at Saltillo. Apparently, too,
the rebel general Is willing that the
world shall hear of his bloody methods.
From Villas private secretary, Luis A.
Renavides, a dispatch was received to-
day stating that General Osorno Of the
Federal army and his entire staff Of
thirty-two officers were captured by
Villa at Zertuche. fifteen miles from
Saltillo. and that all were Immediately
put to death.
Their capture and execution followed
a battle at Zertuche yesterday after
noon, in which the Federal army. try
ing TO reach Saltillo after its defeat
at Paredon. ran into Villas army and
was defeated with severe losses. Ex-
pecting to be treated as prisoners OF
war under civilized rules Of warfare,
the Federal commander. il is said, sur
rendered with his STAFF. He and his Of
ficers were killed on the field as soon
as they had been made prisoners.
The seven hundred or more men OF
the Federal army who surrendered
were sent TO Torreon, and rebels say
they will be released or taken in to the
rebel army. This makes about fifteen
hundred Federals captured around Sal
tillo by Villa. Rebels say they have
advices that Ignacio Munoz and Miguel
Alvarez, the two Federal generals. who
were killed at Paredon, fell In battle
and were not executed.
While Villa has permitted no word
of the fighting at Saltillo proper TO
reach the border. il is claimed in Juarez
that the general battle has been in
progress for two days, and that the
Federals are fighting with desperation
and are holding out against the greater
army of rebels. villa so divided his
forces as TO make it possible for the
city Of Saltillo TO be attacked from all
sides simultaneously.
The numerous engagements that have
taken place in the vicinity of Saltillo
were due TO the deploying rebel forces
running into Federals who were trying
10 reach Saltillo from outlying towns.
Also the rebels have had to dislodge
strong Federal detachments which had
fortified smaller towns in the outlying
districts.
Villa In a dispatch sent from Ter
tuche, says his losses thus far have been
small, and this is regarded as true
from the fact that very few wounded
rebels have been sent back to Torreon.
Villas dispatch was to Carranza at
Durango, announcing the victory at
Paredon and the general fighting in
the district, and 1t was forwarded to
Juarez by the first chief.

Continued from First Page.
It would not pay to strengthen the old
bridge.
George A. Dohl. superintendent Of
repair work on the bridge. attended
the meeting. Mr.. Dohl declared
that in his estimation the present
bridge is good for at least % years,
and there is no need of building a
new bridge. He said that the only
weak parts OF the bridge are the /
beams under the trolley tracks. These,
he said, We're rusted, but are strong
enough for six OF seven more years.
He insisted that the iron in the bridge
be measured with that In the old B.
and o. bridge.
Mr.. Burris also talked about the
elimination Of the grade crossing at
Concord avenue and B. and o. Rail-
road. He said he thought the rail-
road company should pay all Of the
damages In the case. In alleging that
the court has been "double-crossed"
by the railroad company, Mr.. Burris
said the railroad, at the time the
agreement was made, agreed upon a
certain set of plans having retaining
walls as part OF them. The COM
pany has substituted another set Of
plans without retaining walls. He
said for the court to pay damages In
this case would be establishing a
precedent that might run into thou
sands of dollars as there are a great

TERRANzA'S DEATH
IN The united Press.

by Ine united Press.
CHIHUAHUA, Mex, March l0.-De-
nying that he ever threatened to send
Luis Terrazas II, to the rebel firing line
at Torreon and expose him to the bullets
OF the defenders of that city, General
Francisco Villa, Constitutionalist chief
tain, issued a statement to the United
Press today. He also denied he had re-
ceived Instructions regarding Terrazas
from General Venustiano Carranza or
any representations from the United
States Consul Letcher.
"The report that 4 have threatened
luis Terrazass IL with death on the
COnstitutionalist firing line at Torreon
unless a ransom is paid, is not true,
said Villa. ut IS true, however, that
| demanded that the Tewazas family
turn over to me the other 100000 pesos
promised by General Terrazas.
"While our cause needs money ] have
not yet reached the point where in or
der to get it / would put a man not q

General Villa admitted that he had
made a demand for the surrender to the
rebels of La Regina Ranch near Moqui,
owned by General Suyman, the former
leader of the Beers in South Africa.
81 issued that order" he said, "be-
cause am sure Suyman is holding
property under false pretense. The
ranch belongs to the Luian family, a
branch of the Creel family, and enemies
of the Constitutionalist cause"
Suyman is now a subject of Great
Britain.

FEDERAL TROOP
TRAIN BLOWN UP
BY THE REBELS

Sy a United Press staff Correspondent
MEXICO CITY, March l0.-Rebels at
tacking Torreon dynamited two Federal
troop trains today, carrying reinforce
ments to defend the town. The war
office refused to give out the death list,
bit it was understood here that the cas-
ualties were small General Huerta has
ordered a strict censorship ON account Of
the fighting at Torreon.
Two hundred Mexican refugees reach
nd here today, who asserted they were
allowed by United States troops to es-
cape from Fort Bliss, across the Texas
border, on payment OF small bribes. The
Mexicans said that the prices of escape
were $40 for officers, Sc Cor privates and
81 for women. The refugees were among
those who fed across the Rio Grande
into Texas during the rebel attack on
towns in Northern Chihuahua, and
begged the American soldiers to protect
them. The Mexicans said that the sol
diers concealed the flight of the refugees
from the officers by substituting border
Mexicans anxious to get free board from
the United States.
General Huerta has ordered the Fed
erals to take the offensive against. the
Carranzists in all parts of Mexico.
Heretofore the Huerta troops have acted
solely on the defensive, contenting them
selves with resisting attacks by the
rebels. According to a message sent by
the dictator to the governors of all
states, the Federals will now vigorously
attack the Constituionalists in the north
and force the fighting all along the line
Nelson OShaughnessy, American
charge d'affaires, is constantly accom-
panied by a bodyguard on the order OF
Huerta, who professed to fear that an
anti-American demonstration might fol
low the Vergara affair.

Several hundred mothers of this
city we're guests of THE EVENING
JOURNAL at The Playhouse yester-
day afternoon and last night, to see
the thrilling film play Traffic In
Souls" which, in response to public
demand, opened a return engagement
Of a week at that theatre. The pho
toplay, which is in six parts, requires
about an hour and a half to be pre-
sented and during that time a graph
ic tale is unfolded. II is story
which is being enacted in the great
cities and it is a story distressing
enough to cause even the most blase
to sit up and take notice. Withal, the
subject is handled in a manner free
of offense, even in the most delicate
situations, yet IL conveys the ser
mon story intended The story deals
with Lorna Barton. a girl employed
in candy store who is lured away
by a suaye and captivating Young
man. After many gripping situations
she is located in brothel, where she
is a prisoner, and is rescued. The
man higher up in this traffic in souls
proves to be lillian Trubus, philan-
thropist and reformer. who is at the
head Of the Citizens League, to fight
the system. The system is shown I'm
all its ramifications.
That the picture carries with it o
moral as convincing as any sermon
ever preached, is the verdict Of most
persons who see it. It's lesson is
more impressive and dramatic be-
cause of the manner in which it is
presented.
