Another Note is Sent by the United States in Reply to Response to Previous Representations of Wash ington
CARRANZA DENIES
 INCITING RIOTS
No Word is Received of Any Change in the Situation ill Mexico City, Though Routine Messages Come Through
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Another note was sent by the United States to Carranza in reply to his response last night to the notice that CarranZa and Obregon will he held personally re- sponsble for the safety of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico City. Ii is understood to have emphasized the importance of keeping railway con- mrnlcation between the capital and Vera Cruz open CarranZa's deniel that Dbregon intended to incite the popu- lation of Mexico City to riot or prevent the entrance of food supplies was fol- lowed in the second note by a request if this is true that trains be furnished to carry freight into the city.
 No word was received of any change of the situation in Mexico City. though routine messages came through from the Brazilian minister.
 Secretary Bryan directed an inquiry made by the Brazilian minister, con- cerning the report furnished by the Spanish Ambassador Riano that four Spaniards were killed in Mexico City. It is also reported without confirma- tion a Swedish subject was killed.
 The second communication dis patched so quickly after the receipt of Carranza's reply that the impression prevailed in diplomatic quarters that the United states is determined in ad- vance to make representations for the unrestricted passage of Americans and other foreigners from Mexico City to Vera cruz. It is also believed that Carranza's $ attention was called to re- ports of the early evacuation Of Mexico City and request is again made for arrangements to police the city before the forces of Obregon withdrew.
 On the whole officials thought the Carranza note relieved a critical situ- alton but the warships ordered to Vera Cruz were not recalled on the strength of favorable developments and the opinion prevails that they will be kept there indefinitely. possibly to take away such Americans and foreigners as have no other means of making their departure The statement of the Villa agency here says: Tn the absence of official information the Washington agency of the convention government of Mexico is inclined to believe the re- i ported evacuation of Mexico City by Obregon and it's occupation by Zapata is premature X message, dated yes terday was received from General An geles at Monterey. indicating he had occupied the city despite reports of its capture by Capranzistas.

The expected happened.

The expected happened.
 The legislature died at half past fen o'clock last night leaving all of the important work it had under taken undone. The general appro- priation bill was hot nearly finished in the house. The prohibition bill was in the order of third reading but was so deeply buried that it could not have been reached if the session had been longer. Too much precious time had been wasted by the house on the general appropria- = tion bill long after it was known that it could not be put into a shape to be sent to the senate. The land code was left hopelessly buried and q myriad of other bills. senate and house, in various stages of prepara ton were somewhere in the accu- mulated debris of the house The mine tax bill was somewhere, but it made no difference where for it had not the slightest chance of passage.
 The end came suddenly When the house met at night the considera = tion of the appropriation bill which had been interrupted in the after noon when a message was received from the senate that it's business was completed and was ready for ad- journment sine die was tacitly abandoned forever and the business of hurrying measures nearer comple- ticn under suspension of the rules was begun. Fair progress was being made when at half past nine o'clock Senator Webb appeared with mes sage From the senate saying that he had been instructed to say to the house that the senate would consent to remain in session as long as was necessary. to pass the land code. the prohibition bill. the banking code. a mine tax bill and after that the gen. eral appropriation bill.
 Then came the blow-up The house could listen to no ultimatum from the senate and there was a counter motion that a notice be sent to the senate at ten o'clock informing that dictatorial body that the house would be ready at that hour to adjourn sine die. Members who had little bills that their constituents wanted raised an uprOar The air was filled with motions Meanwhile Senator Webb stood with folded arms and repeated that he was expected to carry an answer back
 MT. Pinkley proposed a comprO- mise; he would accept the proposition of the senate if the mine tax bill were omitted from the program of legislation. The messenger from the senate had no authority to compo- mise. Mir Proctor renewed a motion to inform the senate that the house would be ready at ten o'clock to an nounce it's readiness for a sine die adjournment That was the message that MT Webb carried back to the senate The house then renewed it's feverish passage of little bills and continued that exercise until a little after ten o'clock when committees were dispatched to inform the gov ernor and the senate that the house was ready to adjourn.

 FLORENCE, March 1i-Holding that the governors pardoning power is not absolute but may be modified by legislative enactment. Judge Otis J. Baughn of the superior court of Pinal county today upheld the new board of pardons and paroles and, denying the writ dismissed the ap- plication of Knox Laird for release from the state prison. The decision, which covers eleven typewriter pages, was read from the bench.
 Judge Baughn's decision is based on the clause of section ,. article of the state constitution which pro vides that the governor shall have the power to pardon and reprieve upon such conditions. and with such restrictions and limitations as may be provided by law. The chief eX- ecutive, the decision says has no prerogative powers such as are pos sessed by executives in monarchical governments. but only such as are granted by the fundamental law There is no inherent power in the chief executive to grant pardons, if he possesses it. il is given him by constitutional grant. The governor cannot prescribe the limitations or conditions, for he has no law -mal5- ing power Hence any modification must be the act of the legislature or of the people in their law making capacity
 As to the contention that the con stitution gives the governor absolute pardoning power, and that the legis- lature may not limit it but only impose the conditions which would restrict or limit pardons. Judge Baughn says, Granting that this be true for the sake of argument. we
