TAKES PAIR
OF SHOTS AT
A PROWLER

There was some" excitement in the
vicinity of Eighth and Minnesota ave
nue. last night about 12.45, following
two pistol shots. which aroused the
sleeping neighbors OF Louis Payne
and sent them scurrying outdoors to
ascertain the cause of the disturbance.
They found Mr. Payne out in his yard
clothed principally with shooting
iron and the smoke emerging there
from.
Mr. Payne conducts cold drink and
lunch stand on Chicka.sna avenue and
he didn't go home till about 1890 last
night. His wife, who had come to the
stand from the tabernacle. accompa-
MED him. Louis says preparations for
going to bed were In progress and
there was a light in the dining room
but hone In the bed room. He sat
down near the window to remove his
shoes and just then lamped a prowler
at the window. His gun was nearby
and he at once opened fire through
the window. On going out doors he
saw man making fast getaway up
the street and he says he found blood
near the window, indicating that his
gun was used effectively.
Mrs, Agnes McClelland. the county
court clerk, and other neighbors, say
they saw the fleeing prowler. They
also saw another man in the street
near the house. The latter was asked
to notify the police but apparently
failed to do So Mr. Payne finally
phoned to police headquarters and Of
ficers went to the scene.

Washington Officials Expect to
See Hssrta Get Out by the
Middle Of Next Week
Hitch is Possible
PAID JUNTA GIVES
A EARRING NOTE
Insist Carranza Controls ''by Right
Of Might" and Can't Make
Concessions = Bryan Has
no Fears Of Failure
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, June lS.-A new pro
ylsional president Of Mexico will be
selected, it was learned today. HUI
erta will be out by the middle OF next
week, it is believed in administration
circles. A fit of stubbornness on the
part OF Carranza might disrupt the
program, it is admitted.
The chief jarring note comes from
the paid constitutionalist junta here,
which includes some professional pro-
moters of revolutions. who insist that
Carranza can not make concessions
since he controls Mexico by right of
might"
Secretary Bryan, who Is now In close
touch with Carranza through Consul
Carrothers. takes no stock in these
fears and is extremely hopeful of an
early settlement of Mexican matters.
Army and navy officials have given
up all hope Of war.
Delegates from the United States
and the Huerta government Friday
formally affixed their signatures in
the presence of the mediating repre-
sentativeg "a Argentine, Brazil and
Chile to the first protocol Of the series
through which 1t is hoped to restore
peace in Mexico The agreement as
to the manner OF transferring execu-
tive power from Huerta to the new
provisional government stood the acid
test Of reduction to writing. 1t pro
vides that:
"A government is to be constituted
In Mexico of a character to be later
provided which shall be recognized
BY the United States on (date to be
flxed) and which from that day for
ward shall exercise public functions
until there shall be inaugurated con-
stitutional president"
The brief protocol was significant
Of two things:
1t makes no mention Of Gen. Huerta
as the provisional president and as
1t omits to mention the method
OF transfer which the Mexican dele
gctes and mediators suggested and to
which the United States objected on
the ground that its retention would be
tantamount to recognition of the ex-
isting regime: The Mexican plan pro
vided that Huerta should name as min
lister of foreign affairs the man agreed
upon here as provisional president.
The Mexican delegates while aban-
doning the constitutional form OF SEC
cession as part OF the protocol. are
satisfied because it does not specifical-
ly deny Huerta's right to name as min
lister of foreign affairs the man chosen
here for provisional president if the
latter sees fit to accept designation
from him. 1t is not considered prob
able however. that the new provisional
president, who is likely TO be consti-
tutionalist, would take the executive
power directly from Huerta but he
might do so from some other individ-
ual whom Huesta might leave in au-
thority.
