By Gen. Carraza I'm The
Negotiations
Won't Enter Pact With HueEta For
Naturalization Of Oil Zone
so WIRES STATE DEPARTMENT

Rebel Chiefs Refusal Regarded al
the National Capital as a Blow TO
Hopes of the South American Peace
ENJOYS, Who Desire Suspension Of
HostlIities Between Rival Factions
In Mexico.
Washington, May 2.-General Car
rama, supreme head of the Constitu-
tionalists, has declined to enter into
any agreement with President IIu-
erta for the naturalization Of the oil
well zone near Tampico. Carranza
wired the state department OF the
stand taken by him in this matter.
Carranza's refusal is very impor.
tant, as affecting the immediate stu.
alton at Tampico, but to officials In
Washington it has a broader and
more impressive sigsi6cance 1t is re-
garded here as blow to the hopes
OF the South American mediators for
any agreement between Huerta and
Carranza for suspension of hostili-
ties pending an effort to adjust Mex
icos internal difficulties Until Car
ranza can be persuaded to modify his
attitude, the real work of the medi-
ators is likely to be restricted to the
perfecting of settlement of the acute
situation between the United States
and Huerta.
The reply received from Carranza
was exactly what observers in Wash
ington have been led to expect from
the Developments during the last IS
hours
Carranza's attitude is all the more
significant in lieu of the fact that
Huerta was willing to agree to the
naturalization of the oil zone sug-
gested of the United States.
This government has been very
eager to bring about a neutraliza-
tion agreement for the Tampico oil
fields. II desires this agreement to
protect itself against contingencies
which are certain to arise If the oil
fields are attacked. The gushers out
side Of Tampico are owned by Amer
. lean, German and British interests,
and the strongest kind OF pressure
has been brought to bear on the Unit.
ed States to land forces for the pro-
lection Of the wells. It has been
pointed out that II one Of these great
gusherS should be allowed to run
wild and be fred, it might destroy
all of Tampico. The oil, it is said,
would flow down the river and cause
a conf1agration. These gushers have
been protected with heavy cement
caps, but nevertheless the danger is
very real, so long as the Constitu.
tionalists and federals insist on con.
tinuing hostilities in the field

dren and great-grandchildren. The
twins sat side by side at the dinner
table. On one side sat the children OF
Samuel and their children's children
and on the other sat the progeny Of
William.
Samuel was not in the best of health
then, and he grew weaker and weak
er, until he succumbed. William was
at his bedside. and it is feared that
the shock of his brothers death will
be more than he can endure. The two
saw each other daily and the com
panionship of the two was keen.
Both men were tall and stalwart. 1t
was only until recently that they coulo
not devote much time every day to
some sort of labor. Together they
took walks, and the friendship be-
tween the two was just as keen as
when they went fishing or hunting to-
gether as boys.
The two men were proud of their
health and longevity. They attributed
their long life to work III the open air
and abstinence from alcohol and to-
bacco. They never gambled. Both
were ardent ProhibitioDists and argued
hard for the cause. They voted for
James G. Blaine for president, but
since then they have been in the Probi-
bition party.
The twins were descended from q
long line of prosperous farmers. The
farmhouse in West Babylon in which
they were Oorn is probably the oldest
building on Long Island. The twins
had TWO brothers and one sister, but
| they uutlived them all by many years.
| The twins married about the same
time. Samuel married Rebecca Sam
mis- of Babylon when thirty years old,
and shortly afterward William mar
ried Mary Il. Fleet of Brooklyn. They
had been widowers for many years.
Both men were blessed with eight chill
dren each. Up TO a few years ago four
OF Samuel's children and seven of Viii
| liam's were alive. Just how many de
would be hard to calculate.
| AT the time OF their respective mar
riages each built home for himself
on the old Muncy farm. After the
death of their wives the two went to
| live together, but they decided finally
il would be better for Samuel to have
his daughter, Mrs. Samuel Smith, with
him, while William went to live with
his son, Smith Muncy, near by.
| The two men owned great deal Of
property on Long Island. Both be-
lieved they would celebrate their one
hundredth anniversary together, and
they decided they did not want their
children to wait for years to enjoy
| things, so they parceled cut the prop
| erty.
! There was some talk shortly before
their last birthday of hiring special
car and sending them to Washington
10 see President Wilson, but the twins
, felr they were too old to make the trip,
and the project was abandoned.
