CARRANzA FAST
LOSING CONTROL
over MExICANS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Extreme-
ly disquieting reports from Mexico
reached this city today from half
dozen sources. They indicate that
General Carranza finally has alienated
practically all of his former loyal mill
tary supporters.
His elimination as a factor in Mex
lean affairs is declared to be certain
before the first Of the year. Some Of
the reports reaching here have him
actually in flight from Mexico City, but
this is not confirmed or generally
credited.
What the outcome will be II Car
rama is overthrown Is hard to fore
cast. There is little doubt that an
other wild scramble for power with at
least half dozen entries would result.
Obregon would be the leader from
the military standpoint, but he would
control only his own personal follow
ing. Villa naturally would become
factor, while General Trevino, Felix
Diaz and others Of lesser prominence
would strive to get control of the gov.
ernment. All of the new facts have
been sent to the Mexican joint COM
mission, now in session In Atlantic
City, for its guidance. In addition,
Ambassador Designate Arredondo Is
expected to 60 there shortly to tell Of
conditions as he observed them in
Mexico.

from public gaze, will make its ap-

The keystone Of one episode Is mis-

of Henry Clay, the long. lanky, fiery
Whig candidate for the president OF
the United States, who defiantly re-
fused to heed a petition OF the abo-
litionists OF Richmond for an inter
view and then poured sarcasm and rid
icule upon his listeners who gathered
around his platform at Eighth and
Main streets In 1874.
Seemingly there is difficulty In find

gested Finley Gray of Connersville
jestingly, but the suggestion was veto
ed for obvious reasons. The scene is

ON meter rent

City Attorney Band announced to-
day that he Is preparing petition
which will be presented to the Public
Service Commission next week re-
quest 1t to modify the ruling which it
made last spring on Richmond water

before the Public Service commission
and he was informed that the commiss
ion had not intended for the company
to charge meter rent in addition to the
