CARRANZA BAFFLEO
BY HIS OWN CIRCLE

Washington. May 4.-General Pablo
Gonzales, long regarded by Carranza as
his staunchest supporter. has joined the
revolution, according to advices through
official channels. He was few miles
east of the Mexican capital Monday in
command of two regiments of federal
troops and had severed both railway
lines extending to Vera Cruz.
Another report received here, though
unofficial, was that the nigh military
officers whom Carranza summoned in
council a few days ago, had supple
mented their advice to him to resign
with an ultimatum fixing May Is as
the limit for his tenure Of office.
The reported determination of the
military group to force him out of office
officials here believe. to account for
the failure that has been met by Car
rama in getting under way in an Of
fensive campaign. To date the revolu-
ton has moved forward without battle
and the report mentioning the ultimat-
um added that his military advisers were
determined not to follow a course that
would inevitably involve the country in
a long struggle filled with danger OF
foreign complications.

sue Into Campaign; Be-
gin Battle Today.

Washington. May 4.-The senate will
begin debate Wednesday on the Knox
peace resolution, with the general ex-
pectation of its adoption and certain
veto by the president.
Republican leaders supporting and
Democratic leaders opposing the
resolution introduced by Senator Knox
said vote would probably be reached
within two weeks. or just before the
contemplated recess for the conven-
tions.
May Send Treaty Back.
There did not seem to be much doubt
among members as to its passage. but
leaders of both parties said they an
ticipated that with his veto message,
President Wilson would probably return
the treaty of Versailles to the senate.
Senator Knox will call up his r'.so
luton Wednesday and deliver a prepared
speech, after which, according to present
plans. it will lie over for few days.
unless senators care to discuss it at
odd times.
No Filibuster or Delay.
Senator Hitchcock. ranking minority
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, announced after Democratic
conference. that no attempt will be made
to delay action on the measure by
filibuster. The Democrats of the com
mittee conferred with Secretary Colby
and Senator Underwood. minority leader.
and it was said that Mr.. Colby agreed
with the Democratic plan Of opposition
to the Knox resolution. Besides point
ing out what he regarded as its con-
stitutional objections. Mr.. Colby is said
to have stated it was likely to draw
criticism from Americas associates in
the war.
Senator's said they gathered that Mr..
Colby was not now informed as to the
presidents plan for further action re-
garding the treaty.
May Call Democratic Caucus.
The question of a conference Of all
Democratic senator's on the peace
resolution also was discussed at the
meeting. but no decision was reached.

purpose to dispose Of the pending dye
tariff and other urgent legislative af
fairs before giving continuous consdera
ton to the measure. Senator Lodge,
Of Massachusetts. the Republican leader.
said. however. that senators could speak
at any time they. desired. There was u
reported disposition among Republicans
to curtail discussion and give the Demo-
Gratis full sway. Democratic leaders
on the other hand. said they were dis
posed to let the Republicans have the
floor for the present, and develop the
opposition towards the close Of debate.

WILLARD OPENS CASE.
Presentation Of the figures marked
the formal opening Of the railroad rate

groups accompanied the initiative sug-
sgestions upon which the commission IL

embracing IA systems, terminal and

Similar statements showing the. re-

the relationship of operating expenses
and revenues and the questions of re-

Net income of all the country's rail
roads fell from 81 .056, 100000 in 1916.

assert. while their investment has in
creased more than $1,000, ,OOO, 900. These
figures were givtn to serve as basis
from which the commission could work

Mr.. Willard declared that taking care OF
this amount of obligations at the cur
