CARRANzA OFFICIALS ADMIT
VILLA TOOK WAR STORES

Ell Paso, Jan. 2.-An official report
received here today by Andres Gar
cia, inspector general of Carranza
consulates, from Gen. Francisco Muir
guia at Chihuahua City, announcing
the capture of large quantity of war
ammunitions in a ache at Terros in
Western Chihuahua, was the first ad-
mission by the Carranza government
that Francisco Villa had succeeded
in obtaining big stores of ammunition
and arms in Chihuahua City during
his recent occupation of that place.
The message stated that 5000
shrapnel shells, $1,000 rounds of rifle
cartridges, 400 rifles, eight cannon,
number of machine guns, hand
AIDES, uniforms and army stores of
various kinds had been recaptured.
Torres, where according to this tel.
egram the cache was discovered by
Gen. Hernandez's forces, is on the
Mexican and Orient Railroad.
Refugees arriving today from Santa
Rosalia, La Boquilla, Jiminez and
Parral said Carranza troops held the
railroad line and surrounding country
between Chihuahua City and Santa
Rosalia with we'll established base
at Santa Rosalia. This contradicts
previous reports that Villa was be-
tween Santa Rosalia and Chihuahua
City with his main calumn and had
driven the de facto outposts toward
the State capital.
Villa, the refugees said, was some
where south of Santa Rosalia. They
confirmed the killing of Howard Gray
or Weeks, Dr. c. Fl. Fisher and the
disappearance of Alexander Ricaud.
They also reported that DR.. L. II.
Knopf, German physician, had been
arrested by Carranza forces at Jim
inez because Of alleged activities with
the Villa army and had been sent to
Mexico City under guard.
Government; agents here have re-
ceived q report that wonded Carranza
soldiers had been sent into Chihuahua
City from the south, indicating a fight
with the Villa forces somewhere south
of the State capital.
Reports were received here tonight
OF fighting between outposts Of Villa
forces and q detachment from the
Jaurez garrison at Los Mendanos,
thirty-fiye miles south of Jaurez. The
skirn,ish is said To have been for pos.
session Of q train. Carranza ofiicials
here deny the fighting. ,

i. Fl EN RY WAS ERE.

The presence of Republican State Committee Chairman J. Henry Roraback, of Canaan, in Greenwich, for a short time last Tuesday started scme little speculation among the watchful political walters, as to what might be in the wind in this dull season.
 We have local assurance, depend able because 1t is actuated by mutual friendship that the visit of J. Henry presaged nothing portentous politi- cally. It was purely business that brought him here and presumably concerned the electric light affairs in which he is extensively interested. J. Henry is an officer in the Connec- .sicnt Power Company as we'll as power in the Connections officers realm.-Greenwich News and
 Graphic.
 The presence of J. Hea1y in Green wich seems to create the impression that politically or business wiso, some thing of startling nature IS about tt be pulled off. If the papers in othel towns which J. Henry visits would make as much material of such visit as the News and Graphic his nam would soon be as familiar sight il the. newspapers as Ford G ars are on tn street
