PRODUCED to CarranZa by his chauffeur.
One can scarcely conceive of a stranger
being introduced to the President of
the United States by the driver Of
his car. and yet CarranZa is not bit
more democratic than Mr.. Wilson.
THE interview was arranged by
Johnny Baker. the rife shot and
amusement director Of the Buffalo Bill
101 Ranch shows. who happened to
run across the chauffeur in Ell Paso.
where l was spending couple of days.
Baker recognized the chauffeur as a
former employe of the Buffalo Bill
i show. and on questioning him he
learned that he was driving Carranza's
| car. and that the provisional president
was in Juarez. just across the Rio
Grande from Ell Paso.
How could Col. Cody meet Car
| ranZa? Baker asked.
Easy shooting. was the reply.

| by the chauffeur, and spent two very
| agreeable hours with him. He did

peevish. chesty individual suggested
| by his correspondence with the United
| States government. On the contrary
| he seemed to be broad minded well

Just before we came away Villas

/ flushed crimson and for a moment he

! had made serious break Then
| his face cleared and he said. with a
| peculiar smile:
You ought to get Villa for your
show. He'll need employment before
long-if he isn't killed."
