Erroneous reports have been
circulated to the effect that but

one knowing anything about

to stage a half show of any kind.
The fact Is that there is but one

United States and the same cast
that played to capacity houses In
New York City, Philadelphia Bos-
ton. ST. Louis, Pittsburgh and
other largo cities is the one that
is playing here. The Court thea

Asked Whether There's S
WAY Out or to Recover

Seattle. May o0.-Declariug his belief
that the city of Seattle had paid an ex-
cessive price in its purchase of the
street railway lines Of the Puget Sound
Traction, Light and Power company last
year, for $15,0000OO. Mayor Hugh NJ.
Caldwell took the first step in his prom
ised investigation of the transaction.
This was in the form of q communica-
ton to Walter F. Meier, corporation
counsel. asking for a written opinion
from the latter as to whether the city
has any grounds for action against the
former owners of the street railway lines
TO recover damages for alleged misrep-
resentation or 10 avoid the transaction.
In his letter to the corporation coun-
sell the mayor declares it is estimated
by those having some knowledge of the
deal. that the price paid was some So
100000 or S6J000.000 in excess of the
res. value of the lines"
Negotiations by the city for the pur-
chase of the Seattle street railway sys-
TEN from the Puget Sound Traction.

TO information recsifed from an un-

Barrios. it is said, has been order
ed to capture Carranza but to give
him full personal guarantees.
Dispatches from Tamplco say that
General Manuel Palaez, military
governor of Tamaulipas, is organ

Chihuahua city, via JuareZ, Mexico
May 20.-Becanse os Francisco Villas
pretensions to remaining a political and
military factor in Chihuahua, there is
little likelihood that an agreement will
be reached between Villa and the revolu-
tionists against Carranza. it became
known here following a conference be-
tween General p. Elias Gales. supreme
field commander of revolutionary forces
and Alfonso Gomez, Villas personal
envoy.
II have received letter from Villa
which leads me to believe that there is
little likelihood of an agreement SAID
General Gales Il will answer him, say
ing we shall give him protection as to

junction with that body.
Reports from leading industrials and
commercial centers We're again to the
effect that credits were contracted but
as far as could be learned. this condition
was due in great measure to the railroad
blockade. which has tied up vast amounts
of money.
From every responsible authority
came assurances that baasic financial
conditions all over the country offer no
occasion for apprehension. In the
words Of leading financier. the present
movement is largely in the nature of n
unnecessary readjustmeut of values. in

him notorious.
Gales is enroute here from Juarez or
his trip to Mexico City. He must come
to Villa. for Villa will not go to Gales
Villa said.
Villa trusts Gales "more than any
other man" in the revolutionary move
ment. he said, but his real attitude can
be seen from the fact that horses of the
band are kept constantly saddled at night
under the watchful eyes of sentries and
that all approaches to the camp are
guarded by Villas scouts At mo-
ment's notice the band is ready TO mount
and flee or to fight, according to the
decision Of their leader.
Wants to Shape New Regime.
Francisco Villa will not be satisfied
with mere guarantees of personal safety
from the newest revolution IN Mexico,
he told the Associated Press in an ex-
elusive interview at his camp in the
mountains here today.
Villa will demand guarantees concern
ing how the government is to be operat
ed and before he returns to private life
must see the guarantees in actual op-
Grafton. he said. This means Villa $
force of men will not be disbanded i'm
mediately. but kept ready for action.
Mexicans of all classes, including Villa
himself and his men, agree that until he
is satisfied with the governing forces
in Mexico, peace and return to normal
conditions in Mexico are impossible.
Villa declared the new government.
TO be satisfactory TO him. must not in
clude any of the politicians. with perhaps
a few exceptions, who have had part
in ruling Mexico under Carranza. He
said that If government satisfactory
to him were set up he would turn over
to the republic vast amounts of buxnoD
and other vaiuables worth millions of
dollars Otherwise. the bullion would be
used for his own operations.

No complete list of Americans held
by the bolsheviki is available. but
enough is known of conditions in Russia
to make the state department cognizant
of rigorous system of surveillance on

policy is based on fear that individuals
