REVOLT Of THE JUA REF
FOLLOWED BY
.CELEBRAT ION; PAVED A
WAY FOR QUICK ADVAN CE

Juarez. Mexico, May 4.--The blood
less revolt OF Juarez yesterday and
capitulation of General Francisco
Urbelajo, and his Yaqui Indians at
Casas Grandes, virtually gave to the
Sonora revolutionists control Of the
state Of Chihuahua and paved the
way for an unobstructed advance on
Torreon from which a campaign Is
to be launched against Mexico City.
Events moved rapidly. At o'clock
the garrison revolted and popular
celebration followed. Federal officers
Unable to check the revolution were
superseded. Abel S. Rodriguez for.
mer national senator was named pro-
visional governor.
General Urbalejo commanding the
last large body Of Carranza troops
in the state joined the revolt and
advance through Chihuahua upon the
interior strongholds the CarranZa
government still holds.
With the capitulation of Juarez, the
revolutionists were given control of
the majority Of the customs houses,
through which hundreds OF thCus.
ands Of dollars in revenue is de-
veloped for the Mexican government.
Comparatively small bodies Of troops
remained loyal to Carranza at other
border towns east of here. The Oil
naga garrison opposite Preside, Tex
as, was expected by Mexican off,
cials here to join the revolutionists.
At Chihuahua City, state capital,
| order is being preserved. Political
prisoners have been set free and pro.
lection has been assured Americans
and other foreigners. Dispatches last
night said they were continuing 1t
their work as usual. Similar guar
antees were made by authorities here
in formal statement 10 American
representatives.
Tentative plans Of the revolutions
ists according 10 Arturo NJ. Elias
brother Of General +. Elias Gales,
call for the entrance into Chihuahua
via Pulpito Pass, with 5000 Sonora
troops who will proceed to Torreon,
and from thence to Mexico City
where they will cooperate with forces
sent through Sinaloa in IN attack On
the Mexican capital.

A TTORHEY GENERAL IS
|OF OPINION THAT ONE
| N EMB Err WILL Be ALL
FROM CARTER COUNTY
in NEXT LEG|SLAT 7 u RE

According to an opinion from the
attorney generals office, Carter coun'
ty will have but one representative
in the state legislature ut the next
regular session, instead Of two.
The lower house Of the next regular
session will be composed Of 92 men,
bers instead Of 1e4, as was the case
for the last regular and special ses-
sions.
Ten counties which sent two rep
resentatives each will only be en-
titled to one for the next regular as
sembly. One county having three
heretofore, is reduced to two, and a
flotorial representative Is eliminated,
this takes away IL members, leaving
total Of 80.
The readjustment Is by virtue of a
law passed 10 years ago, providing
for period Of 10 years in which
representation in the lower house
would be changed. This was further di.
vided into five legislative periods Of
two years each. Changes were made
during the legislative period, the
fourth legislative period is now com.
pleted, and the next regular session
begins the fifth and last period.
With completion OF the fourth per.
iod the counties Of Canadian, Carter,
Creek. Custer, Hughes. Jackson. Pay.
ne, Pontotoc. Sequoyah and Washita,
which sent two members each, are now
only entitled to one each for the
next legislature. Pittsburg county had
three members and is now only en-.
| titled to two.
The counties Of Cotton and Co.
manche had been combined into a
flotorial district with q representa-
tive, this is now eliminated, the two
counties now come into the list
with one representative each.
1t is possible that the next regu.
lar session Of the legislature win
have to make 4 reapportionment o,
the lower house which would become
effective when the fifth and last
period is completed. Just what basis
the reapportionment would be made
is one OF the problems that probably
will confront the next legislature.
The present situation was called to
the attention of the attorney general
by w. c, McColister, secretary of the
state election board, and the opinion
from the attorney general was given.

FREN CHI P REM Ter WILL

He WILL CON FER UPON
HNAN C|AL CONDITIONS

Paris, May 4.-Premier Millerand
is going to London next week TO con-
fer with David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister regarding Fl
nancial questions. 1t is expected an
agreement will be reached upon the
line of action to be adopted concern.
ing Germany with regard to execu-
don Of the reparauons clauses Of the
treaty Of Versailles.
The premiers will also agree on the
basis OF the discussions to be held
with the German representatives at
the Spa meeting on May %, in lire
with the understanding reached by
the supreme council at San Reno,
that the allies would not discuss be-
fore the Germans any questions upon
which they were not in accord among
themselves.
Prominent among the points to be
taken up in London Will be interpre-
tation Of the reparations clauses and
the form in which the German dele
gates at Spa will be told what the
allies insist upon.
The word revision" will be exclud-
ed in accordance with the firm atti-
tude of the French, but what practi-
cally amounts to modification Of
the reparations clause will be discuss
ed in the form of proposed minimum
and maximum totals Of reparations.
French public opinion. which year
ago would not accept the eventuality
of Germany not paying for all the
damage she caused, is considered now
to be prepared to take q more mod
ate view, the French people prefer
ring O concrete settlement with the
prospect of it's realization beginning
in the near future, rather than wait
ing indefinitely for an indefinite sum.
Thus the French have been brought
back of the original view of the
American peace delegation. They
probably will not accept q lower mini
mum than one hundred billion marks
geld, bur are likely to consent to fix.
ing the maximum reparaticn payable
by Germany at 15O,O00000 marks,
which was the limit the American
experts reported they found Germany
able to pay.

pared plans before the declaration
Of war.
"They were not complete" he testi-
fed "and are not complete in some
respects today. We know If we did
not enter the war we would have to
conform our operations to the general

Chairman Hale asked whether the
secretary had held up or delayed
Admiral Benson's efforts to prepare
the navy after war was declared.
II don't think So" the admiral re-
Piled. There were many things that
as a military man thought ought
not to be done that he did not ap-
prove as matters of policy. Among
these were improving the powder sup
ply and getting more small calibre
