VILLA Will 60
To MEXICO CITY
AFTER HUERTA
$4,000 TROOPS ARE READY
COnStitutiOnaliStS Confident OF
Big Victory

Ell Paso, Tex, July 10. - The
speedy return of Villas army south
ward from Chihuahua to resume the
campaign against Mexico City, was
predicted today after the receipt OF
advices from Torreon that the inter-
nal peace conference finally was
ended.
With Guadalajara in constitutional
lists hands and San Luis Potosi be-
sieged, there remain only 2 or 8 points
of defense for the federals between
the national capital and the southern
edge of the territory controlled by the
revolutionists.
On the east General Pablo Coma
les with an army of 10000 holds do
minion from the border to San Luis
Potosi, "a hours by rail from Mexico
City.
In the center, Villas division occa-
pies the country from Juarez to
Aguas Calientes, Is hours trave!
from the capital citv.
In the west Obregon has stretched
his lines SO far as Guadalajara, second
largest city in the republic and within
six hours ride by railway of the cen
trail goal. Once San Luis Potosi is
captured, the three military divisions
will converge on Mexico City, accord
ing to assertions today by both Car
rama and Villa follows. When this
combination is made 10000 men will
be available for the movement. 1t
was predicted here that this concen>
tration would take place at Celaya,
eight hours ride from Mexico City.
This point is a junction of the rail-
roads from Guadalajara, Aguas Cal
ientes and San Luis Potosi.
Before the three armies arrive
there two or three strongly fortified
towns held by Huerta's troops, includ-
ing Guanajuato and Siloa, must be
captured. From Celaya, the combined
armies would have before them only
one fortified city. This is Querataro,
ninety miles from Mexico City, AMI
the place where Huerta, according
to general belief, intends to make his
last stand.
General Obregon has advised Car
rama that his men in taking Guadala-
Tara captured fifteen troop trains,
eight cannon, seven machine guns,
many rifles, a large quantity of rife
ammunition and two carloads of can
non ammunition.

Mrs Bailey talking on the night of
June 3O-the night of Mrs. Bailey's
murder. Once previous to June 30
the presence of Il woman nurse in the
doctors consultation room provoked
her to burst in and slap the woman's
face.
The servant girls story and that of
Il tramp. Farrell, who said he saw
woman of Mrs. Carmans build outside
the window at the instant of the shoot
ing, are convincing to the authorities.
The only thing that Mrs. Carman's
friends have to say is:

done such II thing; she is not that sort
of woman, Look ut her clear frank

voice, ultra feminine and appealing"
