Hostilities Are Suspended Between Carranza Garri- son and Villa Attackers Pending Action of Aguas Calientes Convention
MAYTORENA MEN
 MOVE TO SOUTH
Carranza Makes It Plain He is Willing to Retire in Favor of Neutral Man, But Not to Elevate Gen. Villa
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WACO, Oct. 23.-A truce was de- clared late today between the Car ranza garrison and the Villa at tackers, pending the final solution of the Mexican problem by the conven- tion at Aguas Calientes.
 Maytorena troops are now retiring towards point thirty-five kilometers to the southwark
 Peace Commissioner Ramon Sosa, from the convention, secured action after three days parleying with the two factions. Maytorena previously had readily agreed to retire to kilo- meter ten, but failed to effect any backward movement until today. Last night the firing was unusually heavy Serious admonitions from the United States government through officers on border patrol here, are reported to have been the convincing arguments that moved the Mexican leader.
 Since October 2 there has been a bombardment of Naco, Sonora, which has been but little less effective against the American town. Protests were lodged by the citi- zens and by Gov. Hunt with the war department and with the president. In response the border patrol was in creased to about 2000 men with a machine gun platoon. Col Hatfield. the brigade commander, came here from Douglas, to assume command. l The action of Gil in retreating to Naco, which backs against the Amer | ican border, after his defeat by May torena near Santa Barbara, was con- demned by the Villa commander. Nev- ertheless Maytorena's Yaqui troops made many attacks from the south, 1 their bullets usually going wide of their mark and endangering and oc- casionally striking American soldiers and civilians.
 ! Commissioner Sosa, after announce
 ment of the truce, said the convention f will devote it's efforts to establish a stable government in Sonora. | Gil partisans, however, fear the un- comfortable Yaqui Indians will dlsre-
 gard the peace terms and attack them when least expected. Never
 theless the Gil forces have left their trenches and regard the siege as end-
 ed for the present at least.
 Carranza States Attitude | WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Carranza
 is willing to retire from the post of
 chief executive, provided Villa is not instrumental in procuring his resigna- l tion. He also wishes to be assured his retirement will not mean the
 ascendency of Villa.
 i This explanation of Carranza's posi- ton, made informally. at Mexico City,
 was received by the American govern iment. Carranza intimated his will ingness to have the convention re- quest both he and Villa give way to a neutral for the provisional presi- dency. In the meantime, however. official reports to the state depart ment told of the advance northward
 of several thousand Carranza troops.
 This is explained by Carranza repre- sentatives as intended not for the
 purpose of an attack, but as pre-
 cautionary defense in case the con
 vention cannot agree and Villa moved
 his forces southward. Carranza's at
 titude toward the convention has Kept
 the delegates in suspense.

 After again blocking adjournment by obstructive tactics, cotton relief sup porters went into conference late in the day aud decided to appoint a commit tee to wait upon the president. The president, however, when asked for an interview, stated he would be busy with an important state department confer ence until he left Washington and would therefore be unable to meet the committee. All efforts of the demo- cratic leaders to secure an agreement to adjourn failed and the southern members who remained to fight were determined to continue their obstruc- tive tactics until legislation designed to aid the south could be passed
 The opinion is general that this would prolong the session indefinitely and certainly until after elections, though administration leaders planned to continue tomorrow their efforts for adjournment or q recess until after election.
 The general exodus of members of both houses continued tonight The house today had 157 members present on roll call, nearly sixty short of a quorum, and the senate showed 46 per cent or three less than a quorum.

could get no further than that. Then
he turned savagely upon Fran-"And
did you tell her about Springfield"
Fran smiled her crooked smile.

might drive Grace away, though Fran

Grace went, or stayed, it would break
the heart of the one she loved best in

Twice, in the opinion of Fran, the
young nan had failed her by allow-
ing Grace's mind to flash to impor-
tant discoveries along the path of his
insulated remarks about the weather.
This third test was more equal, since
he was to deal with no Grace Noir-
