General CdrranzG Is-
sues Defiant Demand

Washington, D. C.-General Venus
tiano Carranza, as first chief of the
constitutionalist army, notified the
world Tuesday that all communications
to his government from outside sources
must pass through him.
Carranza's decree reached Washing
ton through Rafael Zubaran Capmany,
his minister Of the interior, who tele-
graphed it to Elisea Arredondo, Car
ranz' as local representative. The or
der apparently will make it impossible
for diplomatic representatives of for
eign governments to deal with the
Carranza government except by going
to Vera Cruz, which they been unwil-
ling to do lest such action be construed
as formal recognition.
Already most of the diplomats at
Mexico City have asked their govern
ments for permission to leave when
the situation becomes intolerable, and
some of them have been advised to
use their own discretion.
The order may also affect the activ-
ity of American consular representa-
tives, who heretofore have dealt with
the. de facto government, whatever it
happened to be.

"a years old, was arrested here Mon
day as fugitive from justice on an
Indictment found in Los Angeles in
October, 1912, charging him with hav-
ing been implicated in dynamiting the
Los Angeles Times building. The
arrest was made on Upper Broadway,
where detectives had traced him after
search of four years.
Detective William j. Burns, who
accompanied the officer making the
arrest, said the indictment charged
that Schmidt was one of the two men
who went with J. B. Mcnamara to the
works of the Giant Powder company
in California and purchased 1000
pounds of dynamite.
Schmidt was held in Magistrate g
court, on short affidavit, with bail un-
til February "a to await extradition.
When arranged before Magistrate
McQuade the prisoner said he was a
mechanic, 81 years old, but refused to
answer the other customary questions.
After the arraignment, however, the
magistrate said the man had confessed
to him in his chambers that he was
Matthew A. Schmidt, as alleged in the
Los Angeles indictment.
