OF history without parallel IN the

The underlying, allpowerful pur-
nose of this meeting was To tree TINS,

we do hereby recognize him as the sole

until il is possible to hold general cleo
lions in the republic, according to said
plan Of Guadalupe" the legislature
still further decreed
By decree No. 5, issued by the first
chief Of the COnstitutiOnalist army at
Piedras Negras on May Il 1913, the law
Of January 25, 1852 was placed in full
force and effect, so that all persons
violating the same might be tried ac-
cording to its provisions
Article "a Of the law Of 1852 says:
Those that usurp the public power
described in article 3 shall suffer
death"
There IS but one conclusions: Don
Jose Maria MaytOrenas who IN the 1irst
ernOr OF the state OF Sonora VINO by
virtue OF his illegal acts in the usurpa-
ton Of the three constitutional
branches Of government instead OF be-
ing assisted to enthrone himself, ought
to be Considered a man who has viO-
lated the plain provisions Of the law
and consequently amenable to punish
ment
The telegram Of Villa to Col Gales
showed assumption Of authority. be-
cause the sender has not the right to
order or resolve that the orders OF
MaytOrena shall be respected; neither
has he the right to mix up in matters
that do not pertain to his jurisdiction.
because Gen Villa Is not the direct
commanding superior officer Of Col
Gales, Gen. Villa being only the com
handing general Of the division OF the
north. and Elias Gales the command
ing officer OF the COnstitutionalisr
forces assigned to garrison duty in the
Villa and Col Elias Gales forming part
Of the army corps Of the northwest
commanded by Gen Alvaro Obregon.
q general OF division or major general
(see decree dated July 4, 1913, and his
respective appointment
When IL comes to deciding whether
a governor is constitutional or uncOn-
stitutional, which delicate subject Is
involved within the domains OF state
rights and state sovereignty, Il Is not
for Gen Villa. who is solely the com
mander Of the division Of the north and
nothing more, to designate who shall
be respected, merely because Villa be-
lieves him TO be the constitutional gov
ernOr.
Neither by the political constitution
Of Sonora nor any other general or
special law or decree emanating from
competent authority, can Gen. villa
cite a precedent to sustain his demands,
D OF course ] speak strictly OF legal
terms. Notwithstanding the fact that
I know fun well that Gen. villa did
not for one moment consider the legal
aspect OF the situation when he d.
rected the telegram 10 Col Gales, al
though he uses the following language
in the context: "As directed BY the
constitutional precepts for whose es-
tablishment we are fighting" Gen
Villa views the matter solely from a
the north while I have studied the
subject and made this analysis based
upon the dispassionate view of the law.
We find dictatorial airs in the tele-
gram when Gen. Villa uses the follow
ing form Of address: IF this does
not happen this way, DESTROYS that our
cause shall not lose its prestige, I as
chief Of the forces nearest to that state,
shall be obliged TO go there and ar
range matters as they ought to be and

BRAVERY OF CREW
PREVENTS DEATHS

Pago-Pago, American Samoa Aug %
How the bravery OF an American
crew in time Of shipwreck prevented
the loss OF many lives is related in
connection with the United States
ship Princeton which IS lying on the
beach here with a hole in her bottom
four feet across
Nothing but the highest sense OF
duty and instant response TO discipline
from the officers on the bridge to the
fremen in the stokehOle saved the
vessel from becoming a total loss with
perhaps a long list Of deaths by
drowning.
In the fire room. the stOkers remained
at their posts with the same quiet
courage When the water in the ash
pits began to lap the crate bars Of the
lower furnaces, they hauled fires and
came on deck with no haste or con-
fusion. leaving the pumps still running
on the steam stored in the boilers
The Princeton sank rapidly by the
head and soon became almost unman-

The Carrancistas are already pre-

timations given by a number OF Car

reputed TO be in close touch with Car

Information is borne out by the report
that the large bodies Of Carrancista

patched to strategic points. A consid-
cradle garrison has been left at san

to greatly extend his southwark move

time ago when a large part Of the
Chihuahua garrison was dispatched to
