vides that 800 acres may be taken up

classified as non-irrigable.
The secretary has included 950,000
acres in this class in the states of

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ell Paso. Tex.-Under pressure of
his generals, the weight of his defeat
in Sonora, and the counsel of his wife,
Gen. Francisco Villa is on his way to
the border, and the United States, his
title of commander-in.c chief renounced
and his iron determination to continue
fighting the de facto government OF

for all.

Substantiation of the advices from

the western coast, quoting telegram
from prominent Villa general in full
and stating that the Villa general had
secured from Villa promise to retire
and asking a conference with obregon
upon the fate of the Villa organiza'
tion's personnel.
In reply Gen. Obregon said he had
stated to the Villa general that Villa
was without the law, and whether he
retired was q matter Of no moment,
that he would be shown no considera'
tion, and would be hung as bandit
II caught. The officers, he said, would
be given guarantees IL they surren'
dered unconditionally.
Previous to renouncing his com
mand Gen. Villa listened to his wife
and was united to her in civil mar
riage. They had been married by a
church ceremony several years ago
at San Andreas, Chihuahua, but the
civil marriage YVES required by Mex
lean law to make the tie legal.
A conference of United States mill
tary officials, state and city officials
and officials of the Carranza and Villa
governments was held here secretly
Sunday. at which it was proposed by
the Villa delegation that Gen. Fran
cisco Villa, commander-in-chief of the
Villa forces, and his brother, Hipo
Tito Villa, financial agent of the Villa
government. be permitted to cross the
border embarrassed by legal, criminal
or civil actions of any Of the elements
represented at the conference.
In return for the immunity Of the
Villa brothers the delegation promised
that new chief should be selected to
head the Villa movement and pledged
the leader, when selected, and as yet
unnamed but believed to be Governor
Avila, that he would, il full guaran
tees we're offered. turn over the entire
| military and civil organization of villa
controlled territory to the Carranza
government.
Should the guarantees not cover al
