GEN. CARRANzA ADMITS
VILLA IS NOW SUPREME
Former First Chief Agrees to Follow
Warriors Program. Carothers
Reports.
SETTLEMENT EXPECTED SOON

Ell Paso Tex. June a.-De la Cara,
the financial and diplomatic agent Of VII
la. at Jusrez, has received dispatches di-
rectIy from Villa which show that Car
rama has surrendered to Gen. Villa and
that the so-called supreme chief Is sub
mitting to Villas program.
George Carothers. special agent Of the
administration. is still in the rebel ter
ritory. He is the secret and confidential
medium OF communication between
Washington, Carranza. and Villa
He Is dealing directly with Gen. villa
in the diplomatic matter of removing the
bitter cause Of complaint which Spain has
against the United States because this
government suffered the deportation of
500 Spaniards from Torreon by Gen. Villa
and the confiscation by him Of their cot
ton.
Mr. Carothers has sent the following
telegram to Washington II will explain
on his high authority the real situation
as between CarranZa and Villa:
"EI Paso, June IS.
Secretary OF State. Washington.
Telegram received today by De Ia
Cara from Villa that Carranza has
agreed to Villas program in so far as
leaving villa free to follow his program
and postponed settlement of differences
between them until later: also a telegram
Informing DE la Cara that Spaniards
may return under certain conditions.
This is in line with my representations to
Villa. CSignedJ:
"CARoTHERs."
This telegram indicates that Carranza
has, been absolutely eliminated by Villa
and that the latter proposes to take his
time to make a settlement with the for
mer supreme chief"
What Is looked for now in view of the
absolutely reliable character of Caroth-
ers' dispatch is that the State Depart
ment at Washington must indicate to
the mediators, IL II has not already been
done that Carranza is no longer a figure
of Importance.
The Carranza q patch must have been
in Washington yesterday. and II Is pre-
sumed that the mediators through Min
lister Naon. are already aware Of how
Secretary Of State Bryan understands the
situation from his special agent as shown
in the dispatch. 1t is regarded as mean
ing that the mediators might as well ig-
more any attitude or authority assumed
by Carranza and look to Villa for dele
gates to Niagara Falls and the sugges-
ton OF a provisional president.

PEACE EFFORf
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Mexican delegates. DR.. Naon continued,
or they would refuse to mediate further.
So far the Mexicans had made the only
concessions. The United States had MADE
none.
What is regarded as an indication that
Washington is parleying with Vnia was
the dispatch from Torreon today that the
rebel general had appointed two delegates
to Niagara Falls Col. Ensiebo Calzado
and John W. Roberts. II was also re-
ported that Villa was negotiating with
other rebel generals to bring them into
an armistice agreement.
Inasmuch as the mediators have not
conferred with the Mexicans since DR..
Naon's return, il is generally believed
that the mediatOrs regard that the fate
OF the Niagara Falls conference depends
on Washington. not Mexico City. The
Mexicans say they stand exactly where
they have always stood. They will night
the rebels rather than surrender to them
through mediation.

of an immense Progressive vote in 1872

The New York City districts will show
a change of several members. There
are eighteen districts in the State now

Republicans have "a fighting chance"
and in twelve of these the contest is
expected to be successful.
Look to PennsyIvaniR.
Pennsylvania is looked to for a change
Of ten members, three at large and seven
from districts. In this case there will
he a retirement of several Of the Pro-
Eressive members of the House. The
effect of the new tariff upon Pennsyl-

There will be a hard battle -waged to

The situation in California is so changed
from what it was in 1872, and the Repub-
Iicau movement there is constantly grow
ing so strong that out of the five dis
tricts. at present either Democratic or
Progressive in their Congressional repre-

to be made, it is confidently predicted
that four will be carried by the Republi-

The Republicans will fight to the finish
to regain control Of 16s districts now rep
resented by Democrats. They enter the
fight confident Of success in at least
ninety-three of these districts. There are
at present 10 Republican members of
the House of Representatives. This gain
of ninety-three would give the Republi-
cans a membership of 222 and control Of
the House.
In addition to the prospective Repub-
Ican victories in districts now represent
ed by Democrats the Republicans should
gain seats in the Senate in these States:
Oregon, Indiana, Missouri, Colorado,
Maryland, Nevada. Oklahoma, and Ari-

that a fight would be made against the
confirmation of Jones. He was one of
the heaviest contributors to Mr.. Wilson's
campaigns and his connection with the
so-caIled Harvester Trust was to be an
other point Of attack. The President, by
writing his letter, shows that the threat

features of the letter was the Presidents
disclosure that in his fight for so-called

Owen requested the President recently to
turn over to the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency all letters or COM

for candidates for the Federal Reserve

none Mr.. Owens request was in line
with the Democratic idea. first advanced
by william J. Bryan, of making public
Endorsements for candidates for Federal
Judges. An effort was made to pass such
legislation in Congress. but il failed The

The Presidents letter aroused consid-

the inferences It permitted from that pas
sage of the letter in which President Will
son suggested that Mr.. Jones was "the
one man of the whole number who was
