BOnillas Held.

El 'Paso, Tex. May 24-Ygnacio Bonilas, former Mexican ambassador to the United States, Pauline Fontes, director general of the Mexico rail roads, and other high officials who were with President Carranza when he was assasinated Friday morning, have been arrested and are being held for investigation, according to mes sage tonight from General Alvaro Ob- regon at Mexico City.
 Obregon's message said:
 "Last night we arrested the persons who were escorting the body of Pres ident Carranza. These persons were General Francisco De Mariel, Gen eral Bruno Neira, General Francisco Urquiso, Geresain Ugarte, Ygnacio Bonillas and Manuel Aguirre Berlan- ga. We believe Carranza was assassi- mated, perhaps by Rodolfo Herrero. because Carranza was the only one hurt with all the other generals near him. These other generals, who were sleeping with him, were uiniured. These other generals did not use their guns to protect him, we believe. We are sending commission to investi- gate the case and we will have addi- tional details tomorrow. As soon as we find who assassinated Carranza we will put him in jail and punish ment will be severe"

Won Papen 'JOshed,'
 Says General Wood

Chicago, May .24-Captain Franz Won Papen, military attache at Wash ington prior to America's entry into the war, was being "Joshed" when he was told by Major General Leonard Wood, then commander of the eastern division of the army at New York. that the United States had complete plans of Von Papen's alleged plot to attack New York from U-boats.
 "A canard" was General Woods crptic characterization today of Won PaDen's story as told in Associated Press dispataches from Berlin last night. that he had been called to Gov ernor's Island to be told about the discovery of his plot.
 "I never called any attache to Gov ernor's Island and had no authority to do so," General Wood told the As sociated Press today.
 "I don't remember the incident Won Papen refers to, though it is possible that he may have been "Joshed" about the numerous spy plot stories that were circulating at the time."

 When Sermon IS PLeusinU

The life of missionary in West Africa is full of thrills and filled with constant activity, states Mrs. G. C. Beanland of the American Presbyter- ian Mission, Doula, Cameroun, West Africa, in very interesting letter to her relative, Mrs. William Graft, 215 East Second, Pine Bluff. The letter is from Metet station, and is dated March 9.
 "At present we are the only white persons in Metet," she writes, "and busy, lonely time we have had Pm afraid I'll forget how to talk real, dignified English. The scenery here is beautiful. The lovely tropical palm trees, the giant trees of the for have been transplanted from America, companionship is denied him.
 "The missionary field is almost de- pleted at present; so many of our workers are in America, and some are unable to return, and so few that we hear of are coming out to us. The opportunity for Christian work here is so great and it seems to me that if the need of help was impressed on the minds of our young people in America, more would come out.
 "This is such an interesting life and so many new and interesting things happen every day that are marvellous to me. Just at this minute on stool at my arm is an old wo- man who wanted to see me. She knocked at the door few minutes ago, and l went to see what she wanted We do not unusually enter

WILSON ASKS THAT
 CONGRESS ACCEPT
 ARMENIA MANDATE
Measure Sent to Foreign Rela- tiOns Committees in Both
 Houses

Washington, May 24.-Authority te accept for the United States man. date over Armenia was asked of con. gress today by President Wilson. i The executive said he was consci- ous that he was urging a very criti- behalf that it will be the wish of the people of the United States that this should be done."
 The presidents message was read in both house and senate. but was not discussed. Each housereferred it to its foreign relations committee and there was no indication when either committee would take it up.
 Some senate republicans predicted the message would lie in the senate committee indefinitely.
 Senator Lodge, chairman of the sen- ate committee and republican leader, offered no comment on the executives message. In the past, however, he has declared emphatic opposition to a mandate.
 Harding Dissents.
 Senaor Harding, republican of Ohio, chairman of the committee which in- vestigated Aremenian affairs said he would never consent to taking a man. late over Armenia and added he did not think the senate would consent
 "The foreign relations committee" he said, twas almost unanimous against mandate, democrats as we'll as republicans"
 Senator Harding is author of the senate resolution, recently adopted, corigratulating the Armenian people on recognition of their independence and asking the president to send a warship and American marines to Baku. Presiden Wilson referred to this resolution in his message but senators pointed out that this meas ure was adopted as substitute for one by Senator Williams of Missis- sippi, proposing that the United States become the mandatory for Ar menia.
 The president informed the senate he had accepted the invitation of the allied supreme council that he under take to arbitrate the very difficult questions of the boundary between Turkey and Armenia, saying he had thought it his duty "to accept this difficult and delicate task"
 Studied Subject.
 Provision for mandates over former subject peoples is made in the treaty of Versailles and it is set forth that such mandates shall be executed un- der the league of nations, but since the United States is not a member of the league administration said if con- gress decided that the United States should act for Armenia. the treaty provisions would be waived in this case.
 The question of an Armenian man. date. was discussed in the American mission to Armenia, headed by Major Geenral Harbord, recently presented to the senate. General Harbord esti- mated the acceptance of the mandate would necessitate the presence of 5O,- 900 American troops there. Other es- however, have placed it at less, once the Turkish army had been demobolized.

Freight Car Jam
 Slowly Yielding

Washington, May 24-The freight jam was declared tonight to be yielding slowly to efforts concentrat- ed on the mass of cars which was closing the country's railroad yards.
 Reports to the American Railroad associatiQn's car service committee showed a,reduction in car accumula- tion from 269,000 on April 24 to less than 170,000 last Friday.
 While the battle to relieve the blockade has not been won, railroad officials said the indications of inn provement were strong enough to substantiate the belief that the peak of the congestion had passed.

REACTION, RESULTING FROM ASSASSINATION OF CARRANzA, IS SEEN
Armed Opposition to New Mexican Leaders is Likely
 Outcome
PURSUIT OF VILLA
 AGAIN LAUNCHED
Gompers Accompanies Rebel Agent to White House to Secure Hear- ing for Mathematician
 is Released

Washington, May 24.-Official in. telest in the Mexican situation was intensified today by reports of wide. spread reaction resulting from the killing of Venustiano Carranza, de- posed president. These indications were accompanied with information that the defacto government might face almost immediately not only the problem of reducing Villa to sub mission, but also more importa mt armed opposition.
 Reports reached Washington today from Mexico City that men promi- nent in political affairs were sus- pected of preparing to take advan- tage of the indignation caused by Carranza's death to lead an aveng- ing movement as did Carranza when Madero was assassinated.
 Confirmation reached the state de- partment today of the failure of Gen eral P. Elias Gales to effect an ad- justment between the new govern ment forces and Villa. Ignacio En- riquez was said to have left Chihua. hua Saturday with strong force to co operate with other troops in the pursuit of Villa who was reported at Boouillas.
 One development came here today vixen Luis N. Marones a confidential agent, sent here by Obregon. called at the white house to leave Presi- dent Wilson message signed by Ob- regon containing reassuring declar- ations as to the aims of the revolu- tionists. Marones the generally &C., knowledged leader of Mexican labor. was accompanied by Samuel Comp CTS. He supplemented General Ob- regon's message with personal statement expressing belief that a strong and unopposed government would be established.
 Villas chance for making more trouble were minimized by the gov ernment's representatives here, who said it would be difficult for him to recruit a force of more than few hundred men.
 One menace to international rela- tions was eliminated by the reported release of George Miller British man a"er of the Alvarado Mining and Milling company ,held prisoner bv Villa and bv announcement that oil companies had complied with de4 mands of the defacto authorities re- garding payment of the export taxes.

GOmDers and Allen
 Will Argue, Anyway

Washington, May 24.-Failure of Governor Allen of Kansas and Sam uel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. to agree up- on subject for their debate in New York will not prevent the two from meeting at Carnegie Hall, May 2s. Correspondence between Governor AL len and Mir. Gompers, made public here tonight by the latter, quotes both of them as promising to be on hand.
 The correspondence discloses a sharp division between the two de- baters as to what should be the topic selected. Governor Allen expressed desire to confine it to the industrial court law in effect in Kansas, while Mr. Gompers proposed the question "should strike be prohibited by law?'
