Carranza Hoped
To Saue Regime

Ell PASO, Texas, May rs (By The
Associated Press ).-The flight of Presl-
dent Carranza from Mexico City two
weeks before mis- assassination was a
last desperate effort to seek g place OF
refuge from which re could marshal
his forces and try to save his fast
tottering regime, according to Fehpe
Ronquillo, former mayor of Jimenez,
chihuahua, who was with Carranza
during the first week of his flight.
Ronquillo, in FL Paso to-day, said
Carranza was not attempting to flee
Mexico and that the President IN q
parting speech to the handful Of caval-
ry officers, when he was forced to-
abandon his trains at Rinconada, said:
II am going to find a place OF safety
in the Puebla mountains. There /
shall establish headquarters and re
organize our fight on the traitor. They
should be sure would never resign or
leave the country"
Ronquillo expressed the belief Car
rama never knew the wide extent of
the revolution and the fact he had
been deserted by practically all the
Federal soldiers.
Didn't Want Safe Conduct
The safe conduct which General Al
varo Obregon sent Carranza never
reached him, said Ronquillo. He
didn't want it anyway" he said.
RonQuillo, according to MS story,
arrived in Mexico City the morning of
May 5, and that noon was received by
Carranza in the National Palace.
Already the revolution in Sonora had
spread alarmingly and Carranza was
busy with the routine of organizing re
sistance
"On the morning of May s. said
Ronquillo, there were rumors that
President Carranza would leave that
day.
"Carranza heard for the first time
that afternoon of the revolt of Juarez.
At seven in the evening the presiden-
tial train was ready in the National
Station.
AT the Mexican Railway station
thirteen other trains had been made up
and twenty-five engines were held in
readiness. In one of these trains, the
shortest of all, was the national treas
ure OF between $4,000 600 and 22,000,-
900 pesos-the gold bullion not il
square bars but nodded in cylinders
'President Carranza reached tAe Ma
tional Station with tho Secretary Of
State and General Barragan at 6
o'clock the neXt morning. Three hours
.ater the train movement began.
a The presidential train was the
sixth in line; the last train carried the
infantry cadets from the Chapultepec
Academy.
"As we passed through Via Guada-
lupe, a suburb OF Mexico City, crowds
lined the tracks. There was no dem
onstration. The people appeared
oppressed.
Our train had passed beyond Via
Guadalupe when the first Obregonista
attack occurred. The last two trains
were captured. These had aboard the
aviation section and the artillery
However, the President still had with
him $500 men. infantry and cavalry
