United States that this should be
done.''
The Presidents rlesSage was read in
both the house and senate, but was
discussed in neither Each house re-
ferred it to its Committee on Foreign
Relations, and there was no indication
when either committee would take it
up. Some Republican leaders i'm the
senate predicted privately that the
message would lie in the senate COM

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. the
Republican leader and chairman of the
senate committee had no comment to
make on the executives recommends

clared emphatically his opposition to a
mandate.

carranza Was Assassinated.

Vera CruZ.-RepOrtS of an autopsy
performed on the body of NenustianO
Carranza at TlaXcalantOngo fail to
agree with the claim of ROdolfO Her
rerO that the President committed
suicide rather than be taken captive, it
is asserted in official quarters here.
Surgeons who conducted the autopsy
it is declared, found CarranZa had been
struck by two rifle bullets, one of which
penetrated his breast and the other his
abdomen. The bullets entered from i'm
front, and it was the conclusion of
those who witnessed the operation that
the President had been assassinated,
it is said.

VILLA ONE DANGER
TO MEXICAN PEACE
Election of De la Huerta as Pro-
viSionaI President Promises
Settlement of Revolt.
OPERATES AGAINST OUTLAW.
New Army-SeveraI Other Military
Leaders Have Not Given
Their Allegiance.

WaShingtOn.-With the election OF
Governor Adolfo De La Huerta as
President ad interim of Mexico, the
outlook for peaceful settlement OF
the revolution has become brighter.
The most threatening cloud on the hOri-
ZOn is the attitude of Francisco Villa.
The negotiations conducted for the
revolutiOnists by Z. Elias Gales with
Villa have utterly failed. Villa is now
said TO be raising a new army. Other
military leaders in various parts of
the Republic with small forces have
not as yet given their adherence to the
new government.
Information from Mexico City which
received special comment was that
when the train bearing CarranZa'S body
reached the capital n number of his
generals and followers We're placed
under arrest pending the Investigation
of CurranZa'S death by the committee
representing Obregon and Gonzales.
\ statement issued by General Obre-
gOn said:
I'VE have arrested the persons who
We're escorting the body of President
Francisco de T. MarieI, General Bruno
Neira, General IgnaciO Bonillas and
Manuel Aguirre Berlanga. We believe
CarranZa was assassinated, perhaps
by ROdOlfo Herrera, because CarranZa
was the only one hurt, with all the
other generals near him. Three other
generals who were sleeping with him
We're uninjured. These other generals
did not use their guns to protect him,
we believe. We are sending Il commits
sion to investigate the case and we will
have additional details. AS soon as we
find who assassinated Carranza we
will put him in Jail and punishment
will be severe"
ObregOn is reported to have sent n
message to RudOlfo Herrero, who is
still at large, commanding him to APP
pear at Mexico City and submit him
self to arrest

MITIGATION OF ALL
R. R. Lines FAVORED
National Association of Security
Owners Say Privately Operated
Roads Fail to Meet Needs.

Observation-Disclosures of railway Sc
curities, through their national asso-
citation, came out strongly in favor of
creating permanent coordination of
railway service
In its statement the National AS
sociation of Owners of Railroad Securi-
ties indorses the order of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
In this order the commission offers
to advance $125 100000 if the railroads
will supply 1919, 100000 toward the
formation of half billion dollar
trust to replace dilapidated rolling
stock with new equipment. a meeting,
scheduled for May 90 is to be arrang-
ed, when the railway executives will
discuss means of raising the fund with
the commission.
Endorsement by the owners of rail-
road securities is believed to remove
the last opposition to the government
action toward remedying the car short
age, which caused the partial break
down of the transportation systems.
The statement issued by the railroad
security owners states:
"It is clear that the railroads cam
not continue as privately owned and
operated properties under conditions
that fail to supply the means for such
cooperative action and methods as the
transportation necessities of the coun-
try demand.
within three months from their re-
turn to their owners we find the rail-
roads invoking powers granted TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
the transportation act. without these
provisions the commission would be
without power in this crisis to relieve
the railroads and supply the needs Of
transportation"
