NEGROES ARRESTED
 FOR BROWN MURDER
Brown Died on Porch of Residence, Where He Crawled After
 Being Cut

Charlie May, negro, was arrested on a charge of murder. and Metilda Miller and Eula Brown, negro women, held on charge of being accessories to the crime by Officers Crump Jones and Me Farland yesterday. The charges grew out of the death of John Brown, the negro who crawled to the porch of J. D. Col lins of Fairvew Circle, and died before medical attention could be secured The negroes refused to talk about the killing of Brown other than to protest their innocence.
 The negro laid on MT. Collins porch for more than three hours before he died. Both MT. Collins and the police depart ment did everything possible to get the negro to a hospital, but every ambulance in the city refused to carry the negro. The police department has no conveyance for the injured except a Ford automobile, and the negro was in too serious condition to be carried in the car. After the negro died it was 3 o'clock before his body was removed from the porch.

VILLAS LATEST COUP

The war department reports on Villa S latest coup came from Brigadier Gen eral Bell, who transmitted stories he had obtained from refugees arriving in El Paso. It was conceded that no room was left for doubt that the bano.t leader was operating openly. General Bells dis patch gave details of the annihilation of Carranza's column under General Ozuna by Villa forces at Palomas and described how the Villa troops captured or killed more than a thousand Carranza troops and took all the supply trains.
 The Mexican embassy's explanation of General Carranza's move to Queretaro was that he had gone to prepare for the meeting of the constituent assembly for which deptes have just been elected. The arrival of the families of Generals Carranza and -egon in the United States was - l to be without sig nificance.
 Reports by General Funston, however, said General Trevino had privately ad- vised many officials in Chihuahua to leave the city. Trevino has sent his own family out of the country, and he pre- pared a special train for officials. Reports to persons here in touch with the legalists movement, state unequivocal- ly that Villa has personally given as- surances that he will leave Mexico and go to Cuba if Carranza is overthrown.
