CHIHUAHUA, Mexico. July 20.-
The extradition of General Victoriano
Huerta and other members of his gov
ernment from whatever country in
which they seek refuge, will be ask
ed by constitutionalists In order that
they may be tried on the charge of
numbering President Madero and Vice
President Suarez. This will be one
of the first acts Of the new govern
ment OF Mexico when General Yes
tuiano Carranza takes charge, accord
ing to statements today by constitu-
tionalists close to General Villa. Con-
possible under existing Mexican treat
les.
General villa is considerably wor-
risd over reports that General Pas
cual Orozco and force of federal ir-
regulars who started new revolution
a few days ago are moving northward
in the hope of getting into the state
of Chihuahua This is Orzco's native
state and his presence here would
mean thousands OF refugees who are
along the border might flock to his
standard.
Villa is preparing for his return to
the border, having come here to at
tend the funeral OF General Lorribio
Ortega. He will start for Juarez
Thursday unless called south to mob

Report From carothers.
WASHINGTON, July 2G.-Knowl-
edge of the exact situation concern
ing the relations Of lila and Carranza
lis being eagerly sought by this gov
Iernment A complete report from
George Carothers, Secretary Bryan's
diplomatic agent, who has been with
Villa for a year, is being forwarded.
Carothers reached Ell Paso yesterday
and his report is believed to be in the
mails.
Meanwhile tho belief grows here
that Villa will be hard to keep in
check, although officials do not expect
any move from him that will hamper
the establishment Of provisional
In Mexico City. So long
as he is left supreme in the north
where he already controls the civil
and military government through his
personal appointees-he is not expect
ed to make any hostile move.
Because Of the fear that a break
must inevitably come, however, an
official Investigation is being made Of
a report that arms and ammunition
are being smuggled across the border
in large quantities. Naturally these
are all consigned to Villa who will
thus be SO we'll armed and equipped If
the traffic is not halted soon, chat he
can start new counter revolution
and prosecute for weeks on his re-
serve resources. According to re-
ports received at the state depart
ment, everything is quiet In Mexico
City. A complete understanding is
looked for between Carranza and the
existing government and Carranza is
Expected to take the city and formal
lily proclaim his own government.
