colt at West Shelby. and that Stielow,
condemned TO die for the murder OF
Phelps, had nothing to do with the
killings. Later he recanted this con-

u. s. Commissioners Plan
Attempt to See Carranza

From sian Correspondent OF The Tribune
Atlantic City. Nov. 12.-The transfer
of the Mexicsn-Ameriean Joint Com
mission to Mexico City or to some
American border city satisfactory to
Carranza will be suggested by the
American commissioners if the confer
ences here fail. Negotiations already
have been begun. The object would be
to enable the American commissioners
to deal personally with the First Chief,
who would be asked 10 attend.
The chief obstacle 10 any agreement
is believed by the American commits
sioners TO be lack OF agreement
among Carranzas representatives here
Commissioner Alberto j. PAM supports
them in their belief that they could do
better with Carranza personally.
PAM and Bonillas have shown DIS
position to conincide y it'll the views Of
the Americans wherever possible. But
the chairman of the Mexican section,
Luis Cabrera. is declared to be so hos
tile as TO render any agreement impos-
sible. At the instance of the Ameri-
cans an attempt was ;a@iv yesterday to
nut into writmr sae few minor points
on which both sides seemed to agree.
Cabrera objected so energetically and
frequently that the project was aban-
doned.
The Americans believe that a direct
appeal to Carranza TO allow the Ameri-
can troops to cooperate with the Con-
stitutionalist forces and so put an end
TO border lawlessness is the last step
open to them. Mexican attaches of the
commission are severe in their censure
of Cabrera. They express themselves
as certain that few hours talk be
tween Secretary Lane and the First
Chief would settle the matter.
Commissioner Cabrera went to Phila-
delphia to-day to meet Rafael Nieto,
Assistant Minister Of Finance Of the
de facto government. He returned to-
