NOTHING FROM CAPITAL

Neither the state department nor the Mexican embassy received any dis patches from Mexico City during the day bearing on General Carranza's at titude toward the Scott -Obregon agree ment.
 No action toward hastening exporta- tion of arms and ammunition now at the border awaiting permits to cross into Mexico was taken today at the state or treasury departments This subject is expected to be brought up for consideration by General Carranza' S diplomatic representative, Eliseo Ar |redondo as soon as the Fl Paso agree men has been rartifled.
 Pending the demonstration by Car ranza forces of their intention and power to clear the whole region of brgands, it is understood that no move toward withdrawing any of the troops now on the border will be made. With the expedition well established in Mex ico as buffer against bandit raids and with border towns and ranches under local guard as well, it is believed that there can be no recurrence of border raids. even if the Carranza troops are not able immediately to capture or kill Villa and his followers. No chances |will be taken, however, and the dou- |ble guard will be maintained until definite information is available to show that the bandit menace is at an end.

UNITED STATES TO
 RATIFY AGREEMENT
 REACHED AT JUAREZ
tcontinued from Page one,

Mexican troops to police the country adequately is demonstrated. Use of the Mexican railways in keeping the Amer jean expedition supplies also is pro
 vided and in return the eXpeditionary forces are pledged to exercise every possible precaution to avoid clashes with the townspeople in the regions in which they continue to act.
 The limitations of the expedition un- der the agreement have not been dis closed. It is understood, however, that it will hold the present lines for the time being and not proceed to the south in any event. The best informa- tion at the war department as to the present location of the American forces shows that General Pershing is at Namiquipa, but that patrols are at work to the south of that place. Gen. eral Pershing's reports have indicated that the great majority of his command was inactive pending the outcome of the Fl PaSO cOnference

HUNDRED
DOLLARS A MINUTE
That Is the Pay Which Jess
Willard viii Receive For
Ring Work

New York, Feb. 4.-Every minute
jess Willard is in the ring here on the
evening of March II will be worth just
81 1888 to him. Each 60 seconds that
Frank Moran faces the heavyweight
champion on the same evening will net
that well known ringster $685..
Fifht fans with liking for close sta
tistics figured that out today while
they still gasped over the enormous
purse offered Willard and Moran for
tneir coming battle. The agreement
signed by Willard yesterday with the
Richard -McCracken Syndicate settled
all important details excepting the
identity of the referee and the site of
the battle. Willard will have very
large voice in the sedlection of tn ref
cree and it is expected that Madison
Square Garden win be chosen for the
staging of the battle.
Under the terms of their contract,
the promoters will have to pay out $67,-
800 to the fighters alone. Men familiar
with the Ocst details of staging such
affairs decllre that this means that
the promoters must take in 100000 at
the gate before they can do more than
pay expenses. Consequently they will
undoubtedly select the largest hall in
New York for the affair.
