Unless Carranza can attack from

send his forces thru the Pulpito pass,
which can be successfully defended
by a comparatively small number of
Sonora troops.
Carranza desires to move his army

Cork, Ireland. April 17.-Charges
Of wilful murder against Premier
| Lloyd George were brought in the
verdice of the jury in the inquest OF
Mayor MacCurtain, of this city, as
sassinated last month. The verdict
was rendered today.
The verdict also charged Viscount
French, lord lieutenant of Ireland,
Ian MACPHERSON, former chief secre-
tary, and several police inspectors
with murder.
Cork, ireland. April 17,-That part
of the verdict laying the crime at
the hands Of the policemen. caused
no surprise here, but few thought the
Jury would go SO far as to charge
the premier, Viscount French and
Mr.. MacPherso with the murder.
even tho the charge is likely to mean
little more than an expression OF
sentiment against these officials. It
is different with the police officers,
who, in the usual course, would be
expected to be placed under arrest
Immediately.
This verdict charging the constabu-
larry with the murder was foregone
conclusion. It is known that some Of
the Sim Fein leaders believed two
weeks ago that the verdict would
simply charge the police as body
without mentioning names.
! This doubtless influenced Visconnt
French and Sir John Taylor, under
| secretary for Ireland, to ignore sum-
mons to appear a. witnesses.
Elaborate military precautions and
the counsel of cooler heads among
the Sim Feiners will forestall trou-
BILE here. Reports say leaders have
caused the arrest of some Of the
wilder spirits who. 1t was feared
might start fighting In spite of the
great odds against them in the shapt
Of machine guns and armored cars
and tanks.
