carranza Supreme Chief.

Torreon, Mexico. July 1.-The 1 Nilla-Carranza convention has agreed Carranza was the supreme leader of the revolution and General Villa chief of the division of the north In re gard to a complaint that General Car. ranza had not assisted sufficiently the division of the north with muni- tions, resolution was adopted which called for all divisions of the army to receive from the first chief al! the elements that they may need.'
 Certain concessions also were given that the various chiefs might have administrative powers as we'll as mili- tary.
 The internal trouble in the state of Sonora was mentioned in a resolu- ton adopted calling on Carranza "to obtain solution of the contlict'' in the western state. It was suggested that Governor Maytorena resign if such action would end the trouble.
 Resolutions to push the revolution until "the last yestige of the federal army shall disappear,' and matters pertaining to the economic problems of the country completed the parts of the documents as adopted and signed by the framers.
 Upon the first chief of the consti- tutionalist army taking possession of his office, of provisional president of the republic in conformity to the plan of Guadalupe,' one adopted resolu- tion read, The shall call a convention which shall arrange the date on which elections shall be held, as well as a program of government.

NO INCINERATOR
 FOR THE PRESENT
BOARD OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS IS DIVIDED THREE WAYS ON THE
 QUESTION OF PURCHASE.
Board of Health, Through Drs. Wood and Wooten, Urge That the Con tract of pr. Harris Be Accepted by Board of Public Affairs.

There will be no incnerating p panl purchased for the city of Hot Springs for the present
 At least that is a fair summary oi the situation after attending a meet ing of the board of public affairs last night, where for about two hours the topic was discussed. There was much discussion between Messrs. George IHousley and Gus Strauss. Mayor Me Clendon, the other member Of the board, did not discuss the situation much. but made himself plain in what he said
 Gus Strauss favors the purchasing of the Harris plant, as approved by Drs. Wooten and Wood of the board of health, who have given the subject some study. They are partial to the Harris plant. but favor either one of three of the best plants offered in the bids.
 George Housley has particular ob- jections to the Harris plant, and states that he will not vote for the purchase of that plant because the type is not at present in operation.
 Mayor McClendon believes with the other physicians of the board of health, that Dr. Harris has the most practical plant for the consumption of the refuse of the city and the de- struction of the odors. He agrees with the board that from a scientific standpoint the Harris type of furnace is the most practicable But Mayor McClendoI also favors the purchas- ing at this time of a cheaper type of incinerating plant, stating that he be- lieyes the city can get good results for a period, at least until it is better able to make a more expensive pur- chase.
 That is the division of the three members of Hle board. Each has q different view.
 Dr. Wooten, representing the board of health, urged the board not to pur- chase either of the plants except the DeCary, the Harris or the Indestruct- NhfNf tAC tiiltV btlhS dtNtPltu dS lHt best on the market. These plants would either of the cost form $18- GOO up. The DeCary, represented by Tom Cox of Little Rock here, it is said, requires a full cash payment Of $24,O00 The other, it seems, wants half cash. The bid of Dr. Harris was for S5 per cent of half of the cost of materials in cash, but through MT Strauss, Dr. Harris offered to change the terms of the bid to give the city ample time to pay for the plant, stat ing that his people wanted a plant in Hot Springs as an advertisement for their type of incinerators.
 Some motions were made to ds- pose of the question one way or an- other, but none received second. MT. Housley's motion to reject all bids was not seconded, and his mo- tion to ask all the bidders for new terms received no second. MT. Strauss moved that the three best pants be recommended to the coun- cil to consider, which had no second.
 After the matter had been discussed at length and frequently by two or more at a time, the meeting ad. iourned.
