Refuses to Hang Prisones Sentenced to Die January 8, on Ground There Is No Board of Pardons Now.
VILLALOBO, MURDERER,
 REMAINS UNPUNISHED
Perpetrator of One of Cold est Flooded Murders in His tory of State Retains His Seat of Ease in Florence.

PHOENIX, Jan. 11.--lt has just become known that Ramon Villi- lobo. sentenced to be hanged by the superior judge of Pinal coun- ty on Jaunary 8, for the murder of officer Phil Brown of Ray was not executed on that date Warden Sims, of the penitentia ry refusing to make the eNecu- tion on the ground that there is now a board of pardons in the state, due to the fact that the citizen members of the board has not been named by the attorney general and state superinten- dent of public instruction as provided by law He declared that his convict should have the right to be heard before some board of pardOns and as there was none he would not do the man the injustice of hanging him.
 Back of 1t all is the plan to raise the question of the legal right of the legislature to take from the governor his right of pardon and should an effort be made to force the warden 10 act the question will be taken to the supreme court The attorney general says he will not serve on the board of pardons as the statute is unconstitutional
 The governor was today off cially notified that Vnlolobo had not been hanged but had been returned to the Pinal county sheriff for re-sentence. The gov ernor admitted that the determi- nation of his right of pardon would probably be settled as the result of Sims action, and ludi- cated he had anticipated the action taken by bis appointee.

 SIGNS HIS
 AGREEMENT
Ends Border Controversy At Least For Some Time to Come By Agreeing to Plan Submitted by Scott.
WILL MOVE FROM NACO
 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Hill Will Then Move To His New Position At Agua Prieta And Naco Will Be come An Unoweed Port.

The first step toward the solution of the Naco and other border prob. lems was today taken when Generals Jose Maytorena. commander of con ventionalist Villa troops of Sonora and F. Elias Gales commander Of Carrauza forces in the state. signed an agreement jointly binding eeach force to cease an friction along the Arizona line The agreement is practically the same in form as ar ranged for between Generals Hugh l.. Scott and Pancho Villa, at Juarez last week.
 According to the terms of agree ment Maytorena will withdraw all troops near Naco either to Cananea ;of Nogales, as he sees fit HilIs forces. now in charge of Gales since Hill has left for Vera Cruz, will leave Naco and take new positions at Agua Prieta across the border from Doug las. According to the agreement this makes Naco a neutral closed port, Nogales Maytorena port and Agua Prieta HillCalles city. However it is understood Villa has reserved the right 10 name customs and other civil officers at Naco.
 The agreement is full of "jokers' most of which favor the Maytorena- Villa factions For instance, a new ly added paragraph specifics that al! forces near Douglas shall withdraw to Fronteras where they will remain "up to the moment when Gales oc- cupies Agua Prieta' It is assumed Maytorena's forces will then come back and bottle Gales just as he was held in Naco Another joker appears in the statement that neith- CT force shall actively take the field until the United States recognizes some Mexican government Of one faction dominates the state of Sono- ra. Maytorena already holds all the state except Agua Prieta, and there in lays claim to domination"
 Maytorena will probably start re- moyal from his present position to- morrow, taking his troops to Canaan ca. A part will later go to Nogales. Gales will leave Naco as soon as Maytorena has completed his depart ure from about Naco and Agua Prie- ia. General Scott. who arranged the agreement, leaves this morning for Washington.

CHICAGO. Jan. H. Wheat was today nearer a panicky market than at any time in months There were many cases where big houses with selling orders could not find buyers.
 The entire trade was demoralized during a brief period with prices melting but relative steadiness was finally established
 It was not until wheat values were broken eight and one-fourth cents a bushel under the recent top price that the frantic sellers recognized that confirmation is lacking of stor- ies that the Dardanelles forts are about to surrender opening the Rus sian wheat to the world
 The municipal markets commiss- ion announced that "breead booths" will be established if bread reaches a famine figure.

ARMY MAY CHANCE:
 WAR ZONES
Only Change in Weather or Entrance of Roumania
 Italy or both Can Now Force An Early Alteration of War
FIELD ARMIES ARE
 VIRTUALLY DEADLOCK
Russians In East Progress In Advances on Austria-Hun- gary--Western Armies In Deadly Close Combats.

LONDON, Jan 11.-Only a change Of weather or the entrance or Rou- mania or Italy or both into the war Is likely to accomplish any marked change for some time.
 The weather is uncertain but the belief is growing among the Allies that Roumauia with her well trained army of 100000 men will enter the conflict soon This would link the Roumanian army with the Russian extreme left now forcin its way thru Bukowina into Hungary. Along with the Servians and Montenegrus this would form a line menacing Austria Hungary. From Russia to the Adrj. attic
 Meanwhile field armies in the east and west are virtually dead locked In Alsace the French con tinue their attempts to force nearer the Rhine but there is snow in the Vosges and neither side claims prog ,ress.
 Desperate fighting continues in the center northeast of S0issoua and around PertH-s and BeaHse'ou The bombardment of Soissuus threatens to make it another Bhimes From Beauseiour the Allies are trying Co reach the railway cutting an impor- tant line of German communication The Germans and Allies disagreed on the outcome or this fighting. Neither East Prussia nor Poland furnishes a change in the general situation and the Russians apparent ly stationery in an expected invasion of Hungary through DuEowina It is conceded that the Russians hold practically the whole of Bukowina and it is reported that thousands of refugees are crossing the Boumauian border
 Interest centers in the develop ments of the occupation of Bubowi- ma as it is believed to be mfluenc- ing the Roumanian situation
 There is little information about tie Turkish army in the Caucasus which Russia has battered hard
 Italy is reported sending troops to her islands in the Aegean Seea off Asia Minor preparing for eyentualt- ties and Turkey is reported to have abandoned her proposed camel invas ion of Egypt fearing disembarkatiou of troops at Syria, threatening her line of communication

GERMAN AlRSHIPs ARE
 BECOMING MORE ACTIVE

PARIS. Jan. 1.-Two German ae- ropanes heading for Paris were sighted yesterday by French air pa trols who now cruise over region considerably to the north of Paris. One German machine near Pontoise and the other was sighted over La Martin. Both turned northward again when they saw the French ae- roplanes driving in their direction
 The presence of hostile aeroplanes in this vicinity is regarded as inter esting as it is considered likely that it is the intention of the German air men to attack Paris and London si- multaneously Yesterdays dispatch es stated that sixteen German air crafts were sighted over the English Channel headed for London, but that they turned back.
