HOPING To GET.
ICARRANzA IN Line
!OGcials Look to Obregon to
Persuade First Chief to
Agree to Farley.
NO ANSWER TO NOTE
Advices Received Here Indicate VII
listas and Carranzistas Are Wag-
ing Battle at Toreon.
NO ANSWER TO NOTE

With reports of incipient anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations at Vera Cruz, whole
sale executions by Villa at Chihuahua
and renewed fighting between the Vii
listas and Carranzistas in Sonora, the ad-
ministration still waited patiently yes
terday for replies to the peace conference
proposals of the State Department and
the South American diplomats
The State Department is without reply
from any Of the factional leaders, but
officials here are practically resigned to
an unfavorable answer from Carranza-
It is learned that officials are hopeful of
swinging into line Gen. Obregor and hav-
ing him use his influence with Carranza
TO bring about a peace parley among
all factions. Officials will not say what
efforts along this line are being made,
but it is understood a special envoy has
gone to Obreson, who shows signs of
favoring the peace proposal of this gov
ernment and the Latin-American confer
ence.
The War Department was without ad-
vices yesterday from the border and 1t
is assumed that there has been no
further trouble. Gen. Funston, lit is
learned. has been directed to exterminate
the armed Mexican bands which are
measures are to be employed against
the raiders.
The State Department is in receipt
of information that all of the lead
ers of prominence in Mexico, with
the exception of Gen. Zapata, have re-
ceived the Pan-American note. For
NAL replies acknowledging receipt
have been received from Gems. Car
rama and Villa. Some of the lesser
leaders also have advised the United
States that the note is at hand.
Delay in Reaching Zapata.
1t may be some days before the
note reaches Zapata. He took to his
heels upon the reoccupation of Mexi-
CO City. and his present whereabouts
are unknown to American consular
officers in Mexico. 1t is taken for
granted that Zapata. who has been
operating in conjunction with Gen.
villa under the banner of the conven-
tion government, will agree to take
part in the proposed peace convention.
Assurances TO this effect of an infor-
NAL character already have been re-
Ceived from Villa.
Advices received here yesterday in
dicate that a battle of Importance now
is being waged at Torreon between
Nillistas and a force of Carranzistas,
led by Gen. Obregon. Carranzistas
have claimed that If they won this en-
gagement the backbone of the opposi-
tion would be broken and that Villa
and most of his associates would be
compelled to quit Mexico. State De-
partment advices say that many
wounded Villistas are arriving at Chi
huahua from the vicinity of Torreon.
The reports add that Villa has or
dered many executions for pillaging
and for conspiracy against his author
ity.
The villa agency made public yester-
day a statement that it had been az
cised that the forces of Gen. Gales
approached to within ten Kilometers
of Nogales. in the state of Sonora.
Gen. Maytorena, a Villa commander,
met Gales and the latter was re-
pulsed.

TO EXAMINE 100
in GRAFT CASE
Efforts Will Be Made to Sub
stantiate Charges Against
Policemen.
FOLLOW UP ALL RUMORS
Six or More Members of Force May
Be Arraigned Before Trial
Board.

More than 100 witnesses will be ex-
amined this week by the United States
District attorney and his assistants in
an effort to substantiate the graft
charges made against at least ten or
twelve members Of the Metropolitan po-
lice force.
A number Of witnesses yesterday were
examined by Samuel McComas Hawken.
assistant prosecutor. Some Of the wit
nesses are former residents Of Washing
toms abolished ''red-light" district. 1t
is said that the allegations made by
them refer to incidents several years
ago and that they involve policemen
above the rank Of private.
The grand jury will not meet again
until next Monday. BY that time Dis
trict Attorney John E. Laskey and his
assistants hope to be in a position to
say positively and finally whether the
evidence presented warrants presenta-
ton to the grand jury. 1t Is expected
that the investigation will be completed
this week. every rumor and allegation
being given the fullest consideration.
Consult with Mai. Pullman.
Mai. Raymond W. Pullman. superin-
tendent of police. yesterday was in tele-
phone communication with the District
attorneys office relative to the investi-
cation. He has announced that he will
take no action until the District attor-
ney has found evidence Of sufficient
credibility to justify its being placed be-
fore the grand jury.
1t is likely that even though additional
indictments are not returned. evidence
enough will be adduced to warrant the
arraisnment of a half dozen or dozen
members of the force before the police
trial board. No action along this line
will be taken. however, until the Dis
trict attorneys office has completed its
investigation.
