VILLA WILL STOP
 FIRING ON BORDER
Mexican Chieftain Promises General Scott to Estab-
 fish Neutral Zone.

Fl Paso. Texas, Jan. 9.-General Villa promised today that he would put stop to all fighting along the Mexico United States border. Thls promise was made in the American customs house here to Brig-Gen. Scott, U. S. A., who had long and amiable conference with Villa. The Mexican chieftain said he would or der General Maytorena to sign the agreement already signed by Gen. Hill of the Carranzista forces, neutralizing all border towns. He also said he would abandon the plan of sending General Cabral's forces to attack the Sonora town, and would send Cabral instead to invade the interior or SO nora and the west coast. The fighting along the border mas been constant source of trouble ever since the Madero rebellion ol 1911, and during the last two months more than 50 non-combatants on the American side of the line have been killed or wounded.

ICARRANZA STOPS
 OIL WELL WORKING
United States May Be Com pelled to Protect Holland
 and Great Britain.

Washington, Jan. 9.-A clash be- tween Great Britain and the Nether- lands and Carranza, which may in- volve the United States, will immeds- ately result, state department of ficials state, from the, decree of Car ranza which has suspended the opera tion of oil property everywhere in Mexico.
 The decree of Carranza is described as a fire-brand which will draw the United States to the assistance ot Great Britain and the Netherlands, and which may lead to the surrender of the rights of action of these two countries.
 It is known to the department that Great Britain and Holland entered into an agreement by which they would stand by the properties of each other in the Tuxpam and TampicO oil districts and have informed the Mex can officials that they must respect properties under the old franchises and right.
 The state department's attitude to- night was "that it would have to wait until wrong had been done. and that it would act only on the complaint of American owners and operators of the oil wells. Such complaint we ars expecting within very few days

Argenta. Jan. 9.-The home of Mayor J. P F'aucett,, q handsome two-stcry brick at 324 West Fourth avenue, WAS damaged to the extent of several thousands of dollars about 9:45 o'clock tonight by the explosion Of bomb which had been placed on the front porch by some unknown person or persons.
 As Mayor Faucettc and members ot his family are at Hot Springs, where Mr. Faucette is taking treatment fol- lowing recent stroke of paralysis, there was no one in the house at the time. Nobody was injured by the eX- ploson but q number Of women liv- ing in the vicinity were so badly fGcted by the terrific shock that the services of physicians were neces- sary.
 The entire front cs the house was blown down, and the contents of the building were virtually destroyed i Every pane of window glass within sl radius of four city blocks wa l broken by the shock, which was fel in all sections of the city.
 , TheNsheriff and number of hi: I deputies, the constable's forces ant ' the city police were on the scene i'm medietely after the explosion and be gan an investigation. No arrest hat been made to late hour tonight, but l it is understood certain person fs ol persons are under suspicion of hay ing been implicated in the affar which is said to have been arranged l by political enemies of Mayor Fauc cite.
 With vivid recollections of the re suits of the recent explosion of gas il a cottage here, residents of Argents felt the shock tonight most keenly Great excitement prevailed. and whe. il became known downtown that tn, home of the mayor had been dyna mited, practically all business house, closed, the owners and employees hur rying to the neighborhood of the ex plosion, where a great crowd remain ed for some time.
 Investigation by the authorities dis closed the fact that a railroad mar named Lewis passed the house mo ment or two before the explosion ant noticed something burning on tht front porch. He stopped at a store { few houses below, and was tellins what he had seen when the explosion occurred. On the porch, just insid the banisters, could be seen the mari made on the floor of the porch b. the burning fuse, which charred it way to the bomb itself. It was ; rather long fuse, and had been burn ing perhaps as much as five minutes before it reached the explosive. In response to telegraphic notices of the explosion, Mayor Faucette to night telegraphed that he will reacl Argenta Sunday morning.
