Villa to Lay Down Arms
if Carranza Will Quit

Fl Paso, Tex, Aug. 8. War has lost
its fascination for Francisco Villa. die
tator Of Northern Mexico. He will
quit the game if the peace plan which
he has prepared for General Hugh l..
Scott is received with favor by the
United States government and the
Central and South American republics.
General Scott, accompanied by ms
aid. Lieutenant Colonel K. l.. l.. Niche,
went to Juarez tonight and called upon
General Francisco Villa. General Scott
was with Villa for an hour. On ms
return to FL Paso he stated that his
visit was merely friendly one to pay
his respects 20 General Villa.
II has been learned that Villa and
his commanders will propose to lay
down their arms and place themselves
at the disposal of the united American
republics, provided only that Carranza
abrogate all pretension 20 power and
that General EmilanC Zapata be in
cluded in the peace negotiations.
Villa has been whipped at every turn
during the last two months and he
realizes it, Lack of money, discon-
tent in his army and the amazing
vitality of General Oregon have con-
tributed to make his position in North
ern Mexico insecure. His men are
known to be urging Villa to make
terms. Great quantities of ammunl-
ton obtained by Villa have given the
impression that he will continue fight
ing. no matter what the outcome of
the peace conference, but the ammuni-
tion is said to have been bought
merely to impress his army.
General Felipe Angeles for pro-
visional President is Villas desire.
Threatened rupture with Angeles has
been healed. and in the present nego-
tiations it is Angeles who is making
the offers and the demands.
All of Villas generals are here for
the conference with General Scott. The
army is permitted 10 remain inactive.
The Carranza forces are making no
move, pending the peace talk, and
truce is on without either side asking
or declaring IT,
Believed TO be bearing an ultimatum
to Villa to stop disorders in Northern
Mexico or hsve them stopped by out
side interference, General Scott ar
rived here late this afternoon. Instead
of going to his old quarters at Fort
Bliss, the chief of staff of the United
States army went to the home of an
FL Paso friend, j. F. Williams, a
banker.
General Scott, it is said, did not APP
prove of the ovation given to General
Victoriano Huerta, at Fort Bliss, and
criticised Colonel George II. Morgan
for entertaining the former Mexican
dictator That. and the desire TO avoid
meeting Huerta are said to have act
uated General Scott in not going to
Fort Bliss.
1t is stated that Genera Scott has
not come to pacify Villa, but to dictate
to him. General Scott refused to talk
of his mission, saying mis- report would
be made TO WASHINGTON.

PEON RULE IN MEXICO
ONLY A DREAM, He SAYS
Former Agent of James c. Blaine Declares the American
Diplomatic Scheme Is Merely Beauti-
tifu Impossibity.

will commit the Latin Americas to Gn
offensive and obnoxious policy by ac-
knowledging the right Of the United
States TO interfere in domestic affairs
which they claim is no concern Of this
government. They say that in many
countries when the peon population
exceeds the intellectual element sim
liar conditions TO those now existing
IN Mexico may arise, and that by cs-
tablishing a precedent our government
may assume the prerogative of inter
ference.
me that the weak point Of our policy
was the absolute refusal Of our gov
eminent to recognize the right Of prop
erty in Mexico, not only of Mexicans,
but OF foreigners.
This learned gentleman claims that
while Intervention on the part Of the
United States may be justified by the
anarchy that exists in Mexico such
Intervention should be for the benefit
OF humanity and not to impose any
man or set of men on the country nor
TO support government of poems and
CRIMINALS. Among Latin Americans the
impression exists that we arc attempt
ing to impose on Mexico Just such a
government as the laws of the South
ern states refuse to accept regarding
elections. In this they point to the
dlStranchising of the negro.
The Latin-Americans resent the per-
secution of General Huerta as per-
sonal act OF vengeance. and poirt out
that 1T is similar to the kidnapping of
General Luis Mena, of Nicaragua. and
his son in 1911, when these men were
taken to Ancon, Panama, by our ma
rines and refused habeas corpus pro-
eeedlngs under the plea that Panama
was under military control. The Latin
American press gave wide publicity TO
TINS Illegal act, while our press did not
publish line.
We can never settle the Mexican
difficulty without considering the rights
of property, which the present warning
factions do not represent. Peace can
come only when we either intervene
with an armed force sufficient to hold
the country indefinitely or consider the
rights Of property and persons repre-
senting property
Even if the Presidents policy
should succeed in Mexico and the ire
sponsible element should form a gov
eminent under our dictatorship, it will
be twenty years before Americans and
their interests in Mexico would be safe,
except so far as individual cases are
concerned. The Mexican people detest
the 'Gringoes, as they call us, and our
action in not protecting our own citi-
zens has removed the restraint that
formerly governed them, because this
restraint was born of fear of reprisals."

From The Tribune Rur,.u1

Washington, Aug. "a peon gov
ernment in Mexico is one of those
beautiful impossiblities that only the
CRISIS and interested politicians can
dream Of without the remotest oppor-
tunity of realization
That was the statement tonight Of
c. +. Z. Caracristi n consulting engi-
neer, now of New York. who has spent
much of his life in Mexico and Latin
America. He was sent TO South Am
erica by James G.. Blaine when he was
Secretary of State as confidential
agent Of the department. Mr.. Cara
cristi has been in close touch with
leading officials of Latin-America and
with factionist leaders in Mexico. and
is we'll qualified to understand the
feeling in Latin-America concerning
the attitude of this country toward
Mexico.
Mr.. Caracristi ridiculed the sending
Of Messrs. Lind, Fuller and Hale to
Mexico to investigate political condi-
tons.
mir. Lind, Mr.. Fuller and Mr.. Hale
have nothing but predigested tour
ing knowledge Of Mexico" he said.
"Thev know nothing of the language,
customs. laws or the Mexican people.
"None of the men no wleading the
various factions is capable of govern
ing the nation. Nor would he com
mand a following once the incentive
Of loot and rapine was taken away.
Whoever governs Mexico must do so
by force and not justice and logic -
human factors that the masses don't
understand. To-day there is not a
man in sight capable Of rising to the
height Of supreme power in Mexico.
no man forced on Mexico by the
nited States nor any other foreign
power can possibly retain the presi--
dencv. The people would not stand
for such man to-day any more than
they stood for Santa Anna or Maxi
milan in former years.
"The appeal of the United States TO
the Latin American representatives is
a diplomatic error, as was the Niagara
Convention. Any one with ordinary IN
telligence on the niceties Of diplomacy
will realize that foreign representa-
tive accredited to this country cannot
pass adverse judgment on an admins
tration policy If, on the other hand,
this government. should ask the PAN
American countries to send special en-
VOWS to a conference, then the conven-
ton could act with some degree of in
dependence without embarrassing the
status of the regularly accredited
agents.
Some of the South American diplo-
mats, not parties to the present con-
ference. seem 10 believe that partici-
patton in the present conversations

LONELY, SHE DIES BY GAS
Husband in Sanitarium, Mt.
Vernon Woman Kills Herself.

Melancholy from weeks alone in her
big home, Mrs. George T. Brown, wife
Of a New York Central lawyer, who is
now in a sanitarium, ended her life by
gas at 416 Highland Avenue, Mount
Vernon.
The body was discovered yesterday
by the woman's daughter, Mrs. Edmund
BARNET, of No. Chester Place, Yon-
kers. Coroner Dunn was mystitied by
the fact that Mrs. Brown evidently
bathed in a solution of I've before she
turned on the gas.
Henry P. Forwood, her father, of
10 East 130th Street, said last night
his daughter had been alone several
months and he believed that fear that
her husband might not recover led her
to her suicide.

RAIDERS REBUKED
IN GAMBLING CASE
No Evidence Against Thirty
Prisoners, Magistrate Dis
charges Them.

So certain were Sergeant Butler and
his two associates in sleuthng, De-
tectives O'Connor ana barros. that
gambling was going on last night on
the fourth floor of building on Four
tcenth Street, near Third Avenue, that
they raided the place and hauled the
thirty men they found to the Night
Court in patrol wagon.
Have you any direct evidence that
these men were gambing?' Magistrate
Appleton queried.
81 never thought of that" explained
the Sergeant.
"Then you have been guilty of an il
legal act in bringing these men to
court" the magistrate Numbered. you
have deprived them of their liberty
unlewfully. | discharge them all"
The thirty accused gamblers, who
had just walked INTO court, turned
around and walked right out again.

article provides for Department Of
Conservation composed of nine mem
bers, to serve without compensation
and to be appointed by the Governor.
1t retains the section that the forest
preserve shall forever be kept as wild
forest lands, not to be leased, sold, ex-
changed, removed or destroyed. The
commission, however. is given power
to remove dead trees for purposes of
reforestation and fire protection sole

The Legislature is given power to
authorize the City of New York to
purchase for its water supply lands
belonging to the state in Ulster and
Greene counties.
In the face of opposition from Mr..
Wickersham and others the convention
adopted the amendment authorizing
the Conservation Department TO issue
for Just compensation a revocable,
non-transferrable license to squatters
previous to December l, 1909, to con-
tinue on forest lands about Racquette
Lake.

the course the powers will pursue in
attempting to set up a government In
Mexico against the opposition Of Car
ranZa.
This strengthens the belief that there
is hope Of getting the First Chief out
o. the way without alternating his rae
ton. Should such a plan prove to be
impracticablc it is thought the United
States will proclaim an embargo on
arms shipments before attempting TO
establish COVER ment. Then. when
peace is restored because OF the lack
Of bullets, il would be comparatively
simple TO put any .ccognized govern
ment in power by supplying 1t with
the necessary arms.

Minister, though it is not known
whether he will accompany Mr.. Cor
dosa or will come on another vessel
Say He Plotted Overthrow.
The Guatemalan Minister has re-
ceived his passports from Carranza,
for reasons which, Consul Silliman re-
ports, "are unknown to him and to my
self" Ii is alleged he plotted the over
throw of the Carranza regime.
Secretary Lansing said he was con-
sidering American representation in
Mexico City, but he did not know what
would be done. The reasons for the
Brazilian Minister'S visit TO the United
States at this time, the "ecretary said,
were unknown 10 him.
Paul Fuller, of New York, President
Wilson's adviser on Mexican affairs,
will again take part in the PanAmeri-
can conference at New York Wednes-
day. His part in the conferences is a
bitter nil for the CarranzistaS, who re-
gard him as the representative Of the
Catholic party, opposed to the Carranza
policy toward the churches and monas-
teries.
Reports that Carranza intends to
proclaim himself provisional President
after removing his capital to Mexico
City are not taken seriously. 1t is
pointed out that Villa has termed his
faction the provisional government Of
Mexico"
General Carranza is preparing an APP
peal to the American people setting
forth the basis Of his claims for recog-
milton.
No Armed Intervention.
