Washington, Jan. 10. Establish
ment of neutral zone in Northern
Mexico to be jointly policed by the
forces of Mexico and the United
States unless disorders are speedily
controlled is proposed In resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Gore, Dem
ocrat. of Oklahoma.
The resolution, referred to the for.
eign relations committee. would au-
thorize the President to enter into az
agreement with General Carranza to
use troops to restore order and make
life secure In that portion of Mexico
adjacent to the United States. There
was no discussion on the proposal.
Said No Escort Was Needed.
Evidence collected at lei Paso by
State department agents indicates
that Carranza authorities at Chihua-
hua assured C. r.. Watson. head OF
the party Of Americans killed near
Santa Ysabel, that no escort was nee
essary. In that opinion, however,
many OF the Americans agreed. al
though they had suggested to the att
thorities tho advisability of sending
troops with the party.
The advices further stated that the
Carranxa government of Chihuahua
gave Watson personal passport and
that the Carranza immigration'author
ties in Juarez gave a general pass
port for tho whole Watson party.
These developments are taken TO
point to responsibility of the Carran-
IA government for not adequately pro-
tecting the Americans.
