 TLAXICALANTONGO. State of Pueblo. Mexico, June 10. (By the Associated Press. )-Indian residents Of TlaXicalantongo, where President Carranza met his death on the morn ing Of May 21, scout the theory that he committed suicide and declare that no req! defense was made of the presi- dent.
 No official investigation has been made into the death of CaTranZa. Indians interviewed by The Associated Press correspondent who was the first newspaper man to visit the scene, pointed out the hut which they said had been assigned to president by General Rodolfo Herrero, who has been charged with responsibility for the death of the late executive. It is built of fragile material and is located for from the quarters for the soldiers whose duty it was to protect Carran- ga The Indians asserted there were stone houses available. to which the president might have been assigned.

 Thirty bullet holes were counted in various parts of the hut. Near the door is one which is said to mark the spot where Carranza's guard was killed. Although the hut had been used as the mayors office before Car ranZa's arrival it was furnished only with a table, and the bare ground was it's floor. On the ground is a cross mark. indicating the spot where Carranza's body lay. A candle has been placed beside this cross and it is kept lighted by Sonora Virginia Vargas De Luna. whose fifteen-year- old son was killed by a stray bullet during the attack.
 President Carranza reached Taxi calantongo at about 3:30 o'clock on afternoon of May 20. according to an Indian couple at whose home ten or his escort were quartered.
 They returned seven hours later to . find evidences of the disorder which had taken place. Three hundred yards from where Carranza slept is 9 hut pointed to bv the Indians as occupied by Ygnacio Bonillas. who was one of President Carranza's com panions in his flight from MeXicC City.

DECLARES TREATY FAILURE

The treaty plank put the Republi- cans on record for 'agreement among the nations to preserve the peace Of the world" and declared the covenant for the League ''signally failed" Co ac- complish peace.
 The treaty plank further declared that the league covenant "repudiated to q degree wholly unnecessary and unjustified the policy of Washington and Monroe"
 "The unfortunate insistence of the president upon having his own WAY without any change" the plank de clared, required senators to vote their own judgment or submit to the commands of dictator"
 The plank also approved the course of the senators acting in opposition to the covenant and pledged the Repub- lican administration to such agree- nent with the other nations of the world as shall meet the full duty of America to civilization. without sur rendering the right Of the American people to exercise it's judgment and it's power in favor of justice and peace"

Avert Dreaded Split

NNGtI Lf CcACu SpiiN
 Rescuing the party by eleventh hour compromise from a threatened split m the league of nations, the Republican national convention to- day adopted a platform and then ad- jOurned to nominate a candidate to- morrow Harmony on the league is sue was reached after many hours Of heated negotiations revolving about the subcommittee on resolu- tions put bringing into consultation first and last virtually all the big men of the party. In the end the IT, reconcilablcs ard mild reservation ists accepted a treaty plank drafted by Elihu Root before his departure for Europe several weeks ago but revised in some details to meet the views of the contending clements.
 It condems President Wilson's league covenant, upholds the senate in it's rejection of the treaty and en- dorses the principle of an interna- tional peace concert in harmony with American traditions.
 Kill SociaIistic Plans
 After impatiently marking time all day for the resolutions committee to complete it's work the tired conven- ton received with cheers the read ing of the platform by Senator Wat sor of Indiana, tho committee chair man. and adopted it with a great chorus of cheers. IL nearly drowned out a minority report presented by Edwin J.

THE ORDWAY NEW ERA

Sixteen residents of Southern Lin
coin county made a visit to Ordway
last Friday to make Inquiry us to
what feeling Ordway had toward ac-
cepting two tiers of townships off
Lincoln county FOR bnnexa1ion to
Crowley county. They met with the
Ordway Publicity and Commercial
club and were. entertained at noon
luncheon where the matter was taken
up and discussed quite fully.
Residents of the two tiers Of town
ships adjoining Crowley county on
the north would like to be made a
part of Crowley county. They are
nearer to the Crowley county seat
than they are to Hugo end do prac-
ticalIy all their trading in Ordway.
That being the case they want to be-
come a part of this county. At the
meeting held Friday they were as
sured that Ordway welcomed them.
SO far as this town was concerned,
and that all that could be done in
their behalf would be done by Ordway
business firms.
The two tiers of townships pro-
posed for annexation would be a val
liable asset to Crowley county in gen.
eral. according to the way everyone
felt at this meeting, which was repre-
sented by more than fifteen Ordway
business concerns and by sixteen of
the substantial residents of the dis
trict in question. The townships are
very productive ones and are more
than self-sustaaningT The taxable
valuation is large and the taxes an
nually would be more than the added
expense to this county for roads and
other upkeep.
At the meeting it was agreed that
the matter should be pushed and in
this connection the visitors held q
meeting following the club meeting
and organized for action. as follows:
C. w. Purcell, chairman
w. A. Gorsline, Luther Hays and
Fred Glaspie,- committeeman.
The committee was instructed to
have petitions prepared and circu-
lated in the ten townships asking an

two towns to put their petty scheme
across.
I'm the past ten years several scoro
of county division bills were introduc-
ed into the Legislature, but only three
new counties have been created in
that period. The legislatures as well
as the people are against county di-
visions, especially in the plains sec
tion of the state.
"The proposed divisions would be
mighty big thing for Limon on the
one side and Flagler at the other end,
but we cannot see where any advan-
tage would be derived except as
business boom to the respective
( towns. Take conditions in Kit Car
son county, railroad traverses thru
the middle of the county, and not
resident in the county must travel
over twenty miles to reach railroad
station to get to the county seat. And
Flagler citizens say Kit Carson coun-
ty should be divided. It's at least
a ten to one vote with tho people in
that county against county division.
Here in Lincoln county the situation
is the same, we have not heard of
any great stir over the county divis-
ion except a few agitators at Limon
who concocted the idea by drawing
up the initiative bill.
AS we have said before these coun-
ty bills might be put across at the
next election but it will take pile
of dough to do it, and we have new
er seen any great amount of money
| floating around in either one of the
towns, we doubt whether the dreams
OF the few business men and citi-
zens of those towns will materilize.
The Democra offers tho columns
of the paper to. exploit the merits of
the two county division bills II they
have any, and we assure the promo
ters that we shall publish every state
ment--subject to our p. g. at the bot
tom of said writo-up.

do" and we were in Rome on sew
eral occasions. We conducted news
papers at proposed county seats and
tried to put thru propositions of this
kind in this state, but our attempts
gave us pointers on how to become
en- expert lobbyist and spend money
like drunken sailor.
Go to it, county scat agitators. the
other fellows will get the money and
you will have the experience. 1t
could be done, but 1t won't be done,
because dealing with several thous-
and people will be far more expensive
and uncertain than dealing with q
hunrder lawmakers.

County division has taken hold of
some of the people up in the vicinity
of Flagler and Limon, and princi-
pally in those two towns and as re-
suit petitions have been sent out to
initiate a bill to divide counties, cut
counties up, take off piece here and
piece there and create couple of
new county seat towns.
Just how far the division plan will
go is not known but then the petition
has enough "disinterested" sigma
lures to cause the matter to come up
at the November election for a vote
by "all the people of the state"
Lincoln county is a very fair sized
county and not q bad one as to shape
and most Lincoln county people are
opposed to the divisions as proposed.
In this connection the Hugo Demo
crat of last week published the fol-
lowing:
1.-The Democrat wishes to stata
that the county division idea origi-
mated at the proposed county seats
Flagler and Limon, and little inter-
est is taken at any other point, ex-
cept in the adjacent territory. There
are few signers to the petition in
Lincoln county, except residents in
Limon or close to the town.
However. there will be sufficient
signers to the petitions as it is under
stood that paid hirelings are out on
the job getting signatures at ten
cents per name. Why people over on
the western slope or any other place
outside of the district affected should
vote on a proposition of this nature is
not right, but the initiative law gives
them the right to endeavor to put
thru such proposition.
Only very umall percent Of the
voters vote on these bills and should
the promoters of the scheme put up
enough dough to get ward heller
end politicians in the big city to poll
a big vote. they might succeed in
their efforts. But it will take a bar
rel of money to do 1t and we doubt
whether there is enough coin in the
