$ MORE FRIENDLY NOW
Mexican First Chief Will send Note
 To Washington.

Washington, May 20.-The State De- partment was officially advised today that it might expect soon new note from General Carranza regarding the border situation. It probably will be of friendly character and it is believ- ed possible General Carranza may propose a definite understanding a. long the lines of the unWritten agree ment reached at Fl Paso by Generals Scott, Funston and Obregon.
 Should this forecast be borne out, the delica e situation created by Gen cral Carranza's s request for withdraw al of the American expedition woulc be closed incident
 Special Agent Rodgers at MeXic> City reported today that the attitude of officials of the Carranda govern ment has undergone decided change within the last few days. There are evidences in many quarters he said of increased friendliness toward the United States.
 Officials here believe the change Is due to General Obregcn's report if his discussions with General Scott and Funston, who overcame Obregon's suspicious of the Washington gov ernment'S intentions

Has Taken Up Insane Asylum COntro-

Little Rock, May 23.-(Special.)- The Insane Asylum row is becoming bitter. Dr. BledsOe, the superinten dent has become the center of a con- troversy, even more bitter than those which resulted in the displacement Of Dr Green and Dr. Young.
 Yesterday Gov. Hays addressed a. letter to the Board in which he de- manded the immediate resignation of the dismissal of Dr. Bledsoe. chargins neglect of duty and laying great en- phasis upon the fact that the bodies Of poor inmates who have no friends or or money to insure a Christian burial, are turned over to medical students and physicians to be eXperimented up- on in the interest of science" This practice defended by pr. Bledsoe practiced in every state of the union is most bitterly denounced by the Governor as unspeakably cruel and in~ human and he pledges the Board that he will call out company of the Ma tional Guard to protect the unfortu- nate wards of the state from being whittled upon in any such manner.
 The board was in session during the afternoon, but one member gave out the statement that no action would be taken until later. In the meantime. Dr. Bledsoe declined to resign, and re- fuses to discharge employees whose discharge the Governor and at least two of the board had demanded.
 There are rumors that some sensa- tional counter charges are coming out, and that some of the matters at issue will even be referred to the grand jury for Investigation It has been freely predicted that it is possible not only misdemeanors. but felonies, may be uncovered somewhere, and the pub lie is one the qui vivi for the breaking of even greater scandals than any that have characterized the administration up to the. soresent time,
