OF PARIS EMPEROR ON BATTLE LINE WITH SON. The CROWN PRINCE
CARRANzA-VILLA
FEUD is Renewed
Generals Forces Say Pact Bars
the First Chief From the
Mexican Presidency.

FL Paso. Sept. THE Carranza and
Villa clements of the constitutionalist
party in Mexico differ as to the eligi-
bility OF General Carranza as provi-
sional president of Mexico. said men
OF prominence in both factions yester-
day.
President Wilson's recent statement
that Carranza was not considered pro-
visional president as far as the Wash
inEton government was concerned re-
vived the discussion.
The Villa men assert that at the Car
ranza-Villa Cancellation conference in
Torreon a secret past was made
which would prevent Carranza from
serving as the chief executive even
until the time of election. The min
utes of the meeting as made public
show that the congress of military
leaders merely was to set a time for
the election and make arrangements
for the polling of votes.
The official statement of the confer
ence was that all amendments had
been defeated which would alter the
plan OF Guadalupe. This plan clearly
specified that the chief of the revolu-
ton should act as chleI executive
until elections could be held.
Carranza's recent setting of cleo
tions for Oct. l. the Villa forces con
tend. was a violation of the Torreon
pact.
General Villa remains in Chihuahua
City awaiting. it Is said, the calling of
the convention of chiefs.
General ObregOn, with whom Villa
recently visited Sonora on a tour
along the northern side of the Ameri-
can border, has gone to the national
capital.

I'M A SOLEMN CEREMONY

Rome, Sept. THE coronation OF
Pope Benedict XIV took place yester-

tiff were present.
The scene with Pope Benedict seat
ed in the sedia gestatoria preceded by
the bearers of the triple crown and
fianked by the bearers of the celebrat-
ed feather fans and sixty cardinals
in their full vestments, was striking
one. When the ceremony ended the
pope was received with loud acclaim
by those present.

ceived successfully in private audience

T|LLMAN CASE IN
 SUPREME COURT

Little Rock, March 1.-The case of Arthur Tillman, a young white man of Yell county, convicted of murder ing his sweetheart, Amanda Stephens, and throwing her body into an aban- doned well, was argued orally and submitted in supreme court Monday. Judge Robert J. White of Paris, and Gen. w. E. Atkinson of Clarksville, former attorney general, presented the case in behalf of the defense, while the state was represented by Assistant Attorney General John P. Streepey and A. s. Hays of Russell vile.
 The theory of the defense is that Tillman is innocent of the crime, and that it was committed by another man. Counsel for the defense offered to introduce testimony showing that another man would have had motive as great as that which the state has attempted to fasten upon Tillman, for the commission of the crime, but the court ruled it out.
