TORREON, July 7.-Carranza has
been recognized as first chief of the
Constitutionalists and Villa subordl- l.
nate 20 him. This confirmation OF
the relative positions of Carranza
ard Villa is regarded as the most
important step taken at the inte ma =
lional peace parley here intended TO
reunite the Villa and Carranza fac
tions.
In settling this point the question
Of supplying the division of the north
which Villa commands, with coal and
ammunition probably will find au-
tomato solution. While Villa owes
Carranza absolute subordination Car
ranZa on the other hand is Obliged
to meet the wants of Villas troops
The conference is ended so far as
vital points are concerned and a
statement was made that the results
of the meetings wee satisfactory.
Villa. said today: Il hope that the
outcome of the conference will be
beneficial TO Mexico and that patri-
otic motives will cause the compact
to be kept
1T is not the practice of men to
buzz around like mosquitoes and sting
others when they least expect it,
said Villa in reference to accusations
OF misconduct made against him by
Carranza followers along the border
Il am adverse to personalities he
said, while the cOnferenc was in ses-
sion. B'-igades of the northern di-
vision are being sent north through
Torreon to go into quarters in the
country districts of Chihuahua. In
these districts cavalry horses will re-
cuperate from the hard campaigns at
Paredon and Z9catecas.
Ell PASO, July THE air has
cleared between Carranza and Villa
factions. The conference at Torreon
to adjust differences between the two
constitutionalists resulted in at least
n temporary adjustment of the trou
BILE which had threatened to wreck
the success of the revolution. The
report, emanating from good author
ity, reached here that the adjustment
OF internal difficulties at To-reon
had been induced in a. large degree
Washington government.
Villa is expected to leave soon for
Chihuahua City and later for JuareZ.
George c. Carothers, special repre-
sentative of the department of state
at Washington, will accompany him.
Carothe-s recently visited CarranZa.
1t is understood here that he had
presented Washington recommenda.
tons that the internal quarrel of the
ccnstitutionalists should be abandon
ed.
The principal point at discussion
was arranged amicably today. 1t in
Volved q concession by the Villa ele-
ment in returning the constitutional
list national funds confiscated at
Juarez and secured in the United
States. CaranZa today telegraphed
Alberto Pani, one of his agents here
that the Villa people had g'eed to
turn over the money. LaZaro De Gar
"a, Villas agent here, received or
ders from his chief to deliver the
funds Santiago Winfield, who is
charged at Washington with embez-
element in Connection with the dis
appearance of the funds gave him
self up here and announced that he
return east.
The treasure-- general and the 9TH
er CarranZa men who have been de-
tanned at Torreon probably will be
released
