Ell Paso. Tex, May 6.-Facing
famine in his capital city, President
Venustiano Carranza has sought to
effect a compromise with the revo-
lutionary forces, according to state
ments issued today by T. r. Belt
ran, commercial agent for the lib-
eral constitutional party at Ell Paso,
"The shortage In necessities has
reached serious stage in the cap
ital," one of the statements said.
"The discomforts being experienced
by the population are so intense
that a number of labor bodies have
asking him to take steps to remedy
the situation by establishing
bakeries where bread may be
bought cheap.
"The attitude of the working
classes is threatening and grave
disorders are expected at any mo-
ment"
President Carranza was reported
as having held conferences with
Robles Dominguez. leader of the
opposition, in an effort to reconcile
the revolutionists. The results of
the negotiations, however, were
not known here.
arrests are the order of the day
in Mexico City" Senior Beltran said.
Recently Jose Castilleja, con-
gressional deputy, was jailed on
suspicion of favoring the party of
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, candidate
for the presidency of the republic.
Castillejo is one of the many VIC
Tins of Carranzista tyranny, with
out regard for their rank or for the
duties that they are discharging UNI
der the constitution.
For three days, the city of Quad
alaiara, Jalisco. was without cleo
tricity and water, as result OF
the activities OF a column under
Col. Felix Barajas, who has been
operating in that state for some
time. Senior Beltran reported.
"The most complete panic seized
the authorities of the city and they
prepared to abandon their posts
believing that they were threatened
by a superior force, The Carranza
leader, Col. Luis Amezcua, at that
time in Zapotlanejo, was ordered to
attack the forces under Barajas.
Half way to Guadalajara, Colonel
Amezcua halted to await reinforce
ments numbering 200 men. The
Carranzistas then advanced, but so
slowly that when they arrived IN
the region of Guadalajara, they
found that Colonel Baraias had
abandoned the place, after havins
telephoned to the military authori-
ties of the city that he was retir-
ing so as not to injure the populace
through a lack of conveniences,
The revolutionary leader defied the
enemy to come out and give battle,
but the challenge was not accepted.

Los Angeles, Calf. May g.
Walter Andrew Watson pleaded
guilty in the superior court here
today to a county grand jury in
dictment charging him with mur-
der in the first degree for the kill
ing of Nina Lee Deloney. Sentence
was set for Monday. In the mean
time Watson will be examined by
two physicians to be named by the

termine his mental competence.
The grand jury had a prepared
indictment before it when 1t went
into session and soon announced it
was ready to report.
Watson sat with bowed head
while the jury reported and then
was ordered to the bar He stood
while the indictment was read:
You have heard the indictment,
James Watson; how do you plead?"
a deputy district attorney said.
Guilty" was the response, the
single word being whispered so
low that it had to be repeated to
the clerk and the judge by those
who stood near enough to catch it.
The plea was repeated by j. Nor
gan Marmaduke, Watson's attor-
ney.
Before the grand jury reported,
w. C. Doran, chief deputy district
attorney, told Watson that he had
been known by various names and
asked which was his true name.
He said it was James P. Watson
and he was indicted accordingly.
A large crowd filled the court
room in the hall Of justice where
the grand jury reported and the
plea was heard. Watson was sur
rounded by strong guard of dep
lty sheriffs. who were compelled
to force a way through crowded
corridors with their prisoner. The
man was brought from thD prison
ward of the county hospital in the
sheriff's personal automobile. He |
was returned to the ward after his
plea was entered,

Washington, May G.-Concentra
ton by Carranza of troops at Mex
leo City caused rebel representa-
tives here and some American
army officers to believe today 1t
might indicate the presidents de-
termination to gather about him a
force sufficiently strong to enable
him to transfer his seat Of govern
ment.
The obvious purpose of such con-
centration, it was explained, would
he the defense of tho capital, but
according to military experts, Mex
leo City is so difficult to defend
that Carran2a might be expected to
employ the same tactics he did
when Villa gained the ascendancy
in 1914 and again set up his capt.
tai at Vera Cruz,
Revolutionary agents here agreed
that it would be possible for Car
rama to utilize a comparatively
small force of loyal troops for a
stand somewhere outside the capt.
tai. and that it might even be pos
sible for him to force his way to
his old temporary capital at Vera
cruz and from there to direct a
counter movement.
Position Would Not BE strong.
1t would be possible for Carran-
IN to take with him to Vera cruz or
to some other point, the officials OF
the supreme court and consider
able quantity of supplies and mon
ey but observers asserted his po-
sition would then be no stronger
than that of Villa or any other
leader conducting Independent op-
erations.
The possible success of such tao
tics, they declared, depended whoi-
ly upon a radical change in popular
opinion.
Information based on news con
tained in the Mexico City neWspa-
pers of recent date Indicated that
Tarranza was preparing TO sena
Murguia south INTO the
state of Puebla at the head or
force, to attack the
rebels that have been gathered
here under the command of Gen.
Pablo Gonzalez, who recently joined
he revolt. The federal garrison in
he city OF Puebla is reported 10
nave withdrawn Monday upon the
approach of Gonzalez and to have
aiken refuge at Apizaco, TlaXcaia.

SOLDIER RELIEF
LEGISLATION IS
IN THE DISCARD

Washington. May 6,-After a Sc
rics of informal conferences, demo-
cratic and republican members of
the house agreed today there was
no prospect OF enactment of SOL
dier relief legislation before the
forthcoming recess for the political
conventions.
Representative Knutson of Min
nesota, the republican whip, said
that many members felt that the
whole question should go over un-
til after the November election SO
as to avoid the poss BILE injection of
partisanship in it's consideration.
Representative Garner of Texas,
democratic whia and member of
the ways and means committee
which ConGucteT extensive hearings
on relief legislation, declared senti-
ment was rapidly changing" and
that a majority of the democratic
mmebers of the committee were
willing to let the bin continue to
sleep in committee.
Much of the change in sentiment,
members said. was due to the large
number of protests against in
creasing the tax burdens and its
possible effect on the cost Of living.
