A summary of the news from the

CHIEF FOR PEACE
Carranza Would Aid q. s. in
Ending World War.
Already Has Arbitration Job
Waiting at Home.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 9.-Don Venus
tiano Carranza is preparing to. nego-
tiate with the American government
for international peace. with three re-
volutions on his han.is. To date, the
two most serious are those headed by
the bandit, Villa, and Colonel Mariana
Tames.
General Medina Barron, with 200
followers, Is ravaging the Guerrero
district, according to reports. but has
given the de facto first chief no other
trouble SO far.
From reports received by General
George Bell. jr., here today. it was
strongly indicated that Pancho"
Villa would soon capture Torreon.
He has modified his varied bands
south of Mapimi, 1t was declared. and
IS now moving towards that city.
No Carranza troops are opposing
the bandit, and Torreon. practically
the entire population OF which is VII
lista in sympathy, is eager to receive
stra tegic point. Villa would prove a
actor almost strong enough to over
brow the de facto government alone.
A close watch is being kept by state
apartment agents in Ell Paso on
Colonel Tames movements. While as
vet his revolt at The head of the
Iuarez garrison last week has been
the only outward sign of the fresh
revolution. it is persistently reported
that Tames movement, tho perhaps
premature, in fact, heralded a much
more powerful uprising in Mexico
which even now is preparing to break.
Information forwarded by state
department officials to Washington
tonight placed Tames no more than
SO miles southeast of Juarez with 400
men. He has not been attacked by
Carranza troops, according to reports.
Ramon Soils, one of Villas band in
the Santa Ysabel massacre. has been
captured by Carranza troops near
Minaca. according to Andreas Garcia,
Mexican consul here, and sentenced
to death.

0. K. MEXICAN POLICY
Texas Democrats Endorse Wilson's
Border Management.

Houston, Aug. 9.-The platform Of
the Democratic party as reported by
the committee on platform and re-
solutions provides for the general en-
dorsement of the national Democratic
administration and a specific endorse
ment of President Wilson's Mexican
policy Governor Ferguson also was
given both general and special en-
dorsement. Submission or prohibition
was not mentioned. The plank rela-
tive to the Mexican policy is as fol-
lows:
In order that those living in states
remote from Texas may know the
real feelings of the citizens of Texas
upon whose ears the tocsin of war
has sounded; upon whose ears the
hoof beat of the cavalry horse has
fallen; in whose ears the crack of the
rifle and the shout of the Anne rican
soldier has rung in the controversies
with Mexico; we the Democrats of
Texas are glad of an opportunity to
openly and unanimously endorse the
Mexican policy of President Wilson
and we sincerely approve the caution.

he has exercised in dealing with the
trying and troublesome conditions
that have sorely taxed his patience
in the conduct of our international
and domestic relations with Mexico

II concur heartily in both planks,"
says Kiefer, "but what the confer
ence would like to know is how the
successful party proposes to go about
its task.
"Our program would be to make
the user Of natural resources pay the
government in full for the value of
the opportunity which these re-
sources represent. This would pre-
vent speculative ownership. In lieu
Of this payment, we would leave I'M

can be accomplished better than by
such a course as this.

HALE FOR WILSON
Progressive Leader Says Hughes
Stands for Nothing.

New York, Aug. 9.-Acting Chair
man Matthew Hale, of the Progress
sive national committee, assailed
Charles E. Hughes Wednesday and
practically declared for the reelection
of President Wilson. He said:
Personally, I shall support the
they will be on the ballot. Everywhere
shall do all 1 can to help ce-elect
President Wilson. He has shown great
sympathy for the Progressive move
ment
Mr.. Hughes does not impress one
as in real sympathy with the under
lying economic ideals of the party. He
needs the support of Boise Penrose as
we'll as George w. Perkins. His
speeches reflect this.
Hughes is not Roosevelt. His lack
of tact in dealing with political bosses,
his almost brutal way of saying things
are peculiarly bad. His experience in
handling international problems is an
absolute blank. His speeches are filled
with denunciations but contain 10
constructive craftsmanship. He does
not know what he would, have done or
what he would do.
HE has to have the support of such
extremes as the German-American al
lance and Colonel Roosevelt to win.
With a constructive policy he c1nnot
beat President Wilson, because the
Republican party is so hopelessiy split
that the only rallying cry that Hughes
can use is Down with Wilson,"

shop facilities here to C. A Fellows,
contractor in Los Angeles. Mr.. Fell

$3.50. 900. The roundhouse, plans and
specifications show. will be a model
one. 1t will be built of reinforced

a terminal nature and will be the
largest between Ration and Albuquer-
que, which are division plants They
will include a machine shop, black
smith shop and power house. besides
several smaller improvements. includ-
ing coal chutes and turntable.

roundhouse, and it will be necessary
to move the channel of the Gallinas
river. This will necessitate a concrete
wall 1000 feet long. F. NJ Bisbee is
the engineer in charge of the work.
