Gen. Funston was as puzzled tonight as to the exact state of affairs as he was this morning.
 Gen. Bell was the first to inform Gen. Funston that Herrera was re- ported to have joined Villa in his fight against the United States. Gen. Funston instructed Gen. Bell to in vestigate the report and to inform him of developments. A message late today that he had confirmed his re- port of yesterday was Gen. Bells re- ply. He did not report additional facts concerning the number of troops re- volting.

Jacob B. Cornell, wealthy relative of the Pecks' had told stories to the district attorney which seemed to him to warrant bringing proceedings against the dentist
 The grand jury investigation will continue several days. Witnesses from Grand Rapids and Detroit are expected here Saturday and probably will testify either that day or on Monday. Meanwhile, Waite will pp taken to the Tombs and held without bail, charged with murder in the first degree, the district attorney said to- night. Both Doctor Cornell and Dora Heller were before the grand jury to- day. The jury was given copies Of the death certificates of both Mir. Peck and his wife as filed with health department.
 The maid, whom the state regard as the most important witness, told the district attorney today that Dr. Waite came into the kitchen where she was preparing dinner and poured something out of a bottle that he told her was medicine into the soup which afterwards was served to Peck at the dentists home. This occurred, she said. about two days before, the druggists death.
 She noticed that Peck ate only little of the soup. and expressed a de- sire for a cup of tea. Dr. Waite went with her to the bitchen. she asserted, saying:
 Father didn't like the soup. m put some of that medicine in the tea" Peck drank the tea, she said.
 Dr. Cornell said he visited Peck Saturday afternoon. March II. and talked with him for about an hour. He seemed, at that time, to be in good health, the physician declared. While he was there Dr. Cornell said, he -aw Dr. Waite go into another room which Peck had retired with a bottle containing what Dr. Waite told him was medicine. In a few minutes. he said, he heard Peck grooming. The next morning he was called on the telephone by Mrs. Waite and told him her father was dead When pr. Waite was questioned at the district attorneys office yesterday. he admit ted. according to MT. Swann, that he had been living with another woman under the name of pr. Walters. This woman is being sought by the police as witness.

 Quantities of three different drugs were found in the dentists clothing. and he said he had taken some of each kind. beginning yesterday.
 Asked how much he had taken, he replied, Plenty.

(5y Review Leased wire.)

FL PASO. March 23.- Gen. Luis Herrera has revolted from Gen. Car ranZa and has declared that he will resist with all his power the entry of American troops into Mexico but is still opposed to Villa. according to re- ports from sources believed reliable received here today.
 The news of Herrera's disaffectiOn was considered sufficiently authentic for Gen. Bell to telegraph Funston at San Antonio that he believed the re- volt of the CarranZista general true. General Bell added 10 his message. however. the emphatic denial of Her rera's revolt issued today by the Car ranZa consul. Garcia. which was sup ported by telegra2's said 10 have been received from Gen Herrera himself and Gen. Gutierrez. Carranza's field chief
 Gen. Herera has long been a person. al enemy of Villa. His position is said 10 be that the de facto govern ment has betrayed Mexicans in per uniting the soldiers of the United States to enter Mexican territory and that this betrayal Outweiehs whatever offenSes Villa has committed
 Close upon this apparent cOnfrma- tion of Herrera'S position word was brought here tonight by Garcia Flores. a Spanish merchant of the city of Chi huahua. that Villa had held up train on which he was travelling. al Mocte- zuma. eikhty-fve miles northeast from NamiGuina. where the Carranza au- thorijies have insisted the bandit chief was located.

WASHINGTON. March 23. - Ten sion in administration circles over the Mexican situation relaxed today in the absence of official confirmation of the report that 2,OOO Carranzista troops at Chihuahua City had joined Villa. Conflicting unofficial advices from the State Department to telegraph Ameri- can COnsuls al Chihuahua and Duran go for immediate reports as 10 the sit nation in the Torreon region, where Herrera was last reported.
 Officials were perplexed by this part of the border news. saying Gen Bell had notified Gen Funston that the reports regarding the revolt were un- true When the War Department closed for the night ct II o'clock Sec retary Baker stated that Gen. Funs- ton had not advised the department Of Gen. Bells reports and that all in- formation reaching him indicated that Herrera was loyal to Carranza.
 Cen. Scott declared that he did not believe the reports that Gen Herera had deserted Gen. Carranza and joined VnIa.
 Secretary Bakers report on the days events on the border were laid before President Wilson when the latter re- 'urned tcniqh: from a days trip to Philadelnhia They were of a reas- sIlrine nature. although they contain ed rothing positive as to the reported revolt.
 The accumulation of reports of the safe arrival of the army motor trucks with the exDeditionary forces: the restoration of radio communication with Gen. Pershing's forces, and the satisfactory progress of diplomatic ne gotiations with the de facto govern ment served to relieve official anxiety An official denial from the CarranZa authorities at JuareZ that Herrera had revolted was presented to Lansing rersonally by Eliseo Arredondo.

Military Governor of Sonora Reported to be Concentrat- ing Soldiers for Future Use at Cabullona.
 DIEGUEZ IS CALLED
 FOR BIG CONFERENCE General Serrano On His Way from Hermosillo with 4,OOO to Reinforce Guard Along Chihuahua-Sonora Line.
(sy Review Leased Wire.)

DOUGLAS, March 23-Reports that approximately 2OOO de facto Mexican troops had been seen by United States soldier observers marching into Agua Prieta from the southeast. early this afternoon coupled with an apparent verifcation from sources in the Mexi- can town, usually reliable, served to arouse much apprehension here to- night
 Gen. P. Elias Gales. military gov- ernor of Sonora. stated. however. that no troops had arrived, and that on the other hand. 250 of the 1000 men stationed there had been sent to Cab ullona, Is miles south. today
 In Douglas civil circles. the appar- ent change of the military in patrol ling the city was the chief cause of uneasiness. It is currenly reported that the American troops have decid- ed to make no move which would serve to indicate to the de facto forces that the slightest apprehension is felt here.
 This would explain the peculiar troop disposition in the city Only a small provost guard patrols the streets as in ordinary times. However. the smelters. city water plant and other public utilities are guarded by infan- try attachments. Camp Harry | Jones. in which American soldiers are quartered about mile east of the city, is not entTenched.
 Current reports, credited by many local people. say that Gen. Gales is assembling a large force at Cabullona. Gales denies this. In an interview today he said that CabullOna is merely a small camp and not a concentration point. He declared that there were no more than eight hundred men there at present.
 Gen. Gales also said that Brig Gen. Arnulfo Gomez. his second in com mand. is now en route from Hermo- sillo to Moctezuma with four thou sand men. but these are to reinforce the guards along the Sonora Chihua hua border. to guard against a possi- ble western movement of Villa
 The military governor also is quot ed as saying that Gen. M. G. Dieguez. commander of the de factO forces in the operations against the Naquis, has started for Queretaro. having been summoned there for a conference by Venustiano CarranZa, head of the de facto government Gen. Francisco R. SerranO. who was displaced by Die guez, has again taken command of the YaQui campaign. Sixty thousand rounds of ammunition for Gen. Gales arrived here by express today. lt probably will not be sent across to Agua Prieta for delivery until to- morrow.
 The feeling of apprehension in Douglas was made evident late today. A number of telegrams addressed to Senators Henry F. Ashurst and Mar GUS A. Smith and COngressmen Carl Hayden were sent by prominent local men. urging that the War Department officials be interviewed at once and representations be made to them that orders should be issued to the troops stationed here. so they could adequate ly patrol Douglas and afford prOtec-
