to round up suspects wanted in con

CARRANZA
NSENTS
PERMISSION Is GRANTED U. S. TO
SHIP ARMY SUPPLIES OVER
MEXICAN RAILROAD.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-One Of
hunting Villa was solved today when
General Carranza granted the re-
lewed request of the state depart
ment for permission to use the Mexi-
IAN Northwestern railroad
General CarranZa received the re
quest this morning. his answer was
in Washington before dark. 1t was
contained in brief message from
James l.. Rodgers, special agent Of
the United States at Queretaro, say
ing the head OF the de facto govern
nent agreed to the commercial use of
the line. Officials here assumed he
would be equally prompt in notifying
his officers on the border and that
General Funston might begin ship
ment tomorrow.
Although the army will proceed to
lse the railroad on commercial
basis, which is construed here a.
meaning that all service shall be paid
or at the regular rates, the state de-
partment will negotiate further with
arranza to bring about more com
plete understanding as to just what
he has agreed to. Today's response
S regarded as being satisfactory IN
a measure, but it is not sufficiently
definite. 1t may be. too, that in order
to assure the arrival and delivery of
supplies shipped to points along the
line, General Funston will desire to
place guards on the trains.
War department officials were great
ly relieved by the removal Of the
necessity for maintaining a motor
truck supply line over desert roads
for distance OF more than 200 miles.
A clOudburst or great storm might
render the roads impossible for a con
siderable space of time, cutting off
the troops from their source of supply
at the border
Aside from the railroad problem. de-
tails of the protocol suggested by Len-
eral CarranZa remain to be worked out
through diplomatic channels. State
department officials indicate, how
ever, that there is no reason for haste
in this connection. AS was the case
when American troops crossed INTO
Mexico in pursuit OF Geronimo, the
Apache outlaw, years ago. the formal
agreement NAV not be completed un-
| til the expedition has accomplished
purpose and returned It will
serve, however, as the legal basis for
the adjustment OF all claims arising
