THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, 31 AY 23, 1920 what its policy to them will bo after they get established. The representatives of British oil interests pointed out that America's realization of her position in regard to oil supplies might well have some bearing on the Mesopotamian problem now confronting the British govern ment. "The position is quite clear," said one authority. "As Mr. Bedford states, the country which obtains an adequate supply of oil for its future interests will forge ahead with trade. When he states that Great Britain foresaw this, he is paying tribute, not to the British government, but to private enterprise in this country, which we have to thank for the posi tion we now hold In regard to oil con cessions throughout the world." DEATH OF GARRANZA cation in tears and died, a heart broken man. in Spain. - Old Prophecy la Recalled. But it does bring to mind a proph ecy said to have been made by a nun, which is now being talked about all over Mexivo. She prophesied, accord ing to report, that after Mexico had seen three Franciscos in public life she would have for president en old man with a beard, who would meet a violent death, and that ho would be succeeded by a president who mount ed his horse from the "wrong" side. The prophecy also added that there after Mexico would lose its independ ence. There have been three Franciscos in Mexico's public life since the prophecy was made. They were Fran cisco de la Barra now an exile; Fran cisco 1. Madero, the murdered presi dent of 1913. and Francisco Villa, the bandit leader. Carranza was well known for bis whiskers. Obregon, who led the revolt against him and is expected by many o succeed to the head of the government lost an arm in the battle of Celaya with Villa. and mounts his horse from the "wrong'' side. Bearing on V. S. la Seen. Carranza's death and the manner of it probably will have some important bearing on the action of the' United States when the time comes to con sider recognition of the "government which succeeds him. When President Wilson was refusing to recognize Huerta he based his action on the untimely death of Madero and Suares and announced a broad general policy to the effect that no government would be recognized which did not rest on constitutional elections and which was based on force of arms alone. As it is generally recognised that no government in Mexico could hope to stand w'thout recognition by the United States, the death of Carransa and what responsibility the present revolutionists may share in it is re garded by officials and diplomats here as certain to become a large element in the government's action.

"We were In the library, Grover, the two guards and myself," he said. "Grover was reciting Shakespeare. Just when he had us all laughing the telephone bell rang. Grover went into another room to answer it. When the bell continued to ring, one of the guards said: 'He didn't answer that.' The sergeants looked for Grover.

(By the Associated Press.) Venustiano Car ranza, president of Mexico and head of the seventy-second government that country has had since 1821. was assassinated at 1 A. M., Friday by Colonel Rodolfo J-Ierrero and his sol diers at -Ttazealtehango.-Puebla, ac cording to messages received here from General Alva'o Obregon, dated at Mexico City tody. "There were tound six or seven more bodies of the men in Carranza's party," said one message from Obre gon. It was not stated who these men might be. Reports given out by the revolu tionists said Carranza was assassin ated by his own men. Herrero was described as an ex-federal officer. He was once an officer in the Mexi can army under Diaz, who was forced to flee Mexico in 1911. - Carranza was made a prisoner and cowardly assassinated at the cry of "Viva Obregon," said Colonel Rodol fo Herrero and his men, violating the hospitality that had been offered him by Herrero. according to a message from his chief followers to General Pablo - Gonzales, quoted in - his mes sage to revolutionary agents here. Assassins Are Denounced. Obregon answered his message in scathing terms. He declared that if the Carranza followers, numbering more than 30 men, and including Juan Barragan, chief of staff; Ignacio Bo nillas, former' ambassador to the United States, whose candidacy for the presidency brought on the latest revolution, and other prominent lead ers had "died defending your chief you. would be at rest with your' consciences and have escaped the shame of your cowardice." Obregon told the Carranzistas they were; sufficient in number to have done their duty, "to have saved Mr. CarranKa's life, if as you state he was assassinated. ' "On repeated occasions," said Obre gon,' "President Carranza was noti fied of 'the guaranty which would be given httrx if he would leave the dan ger zone, but he refused to accept this offer because he considered it an un dignified act of a man of hoiKr to save himself, -leaving his companions in danger. This act of Carranza re vealed the dignity and good-fellowship you failed to appreciate." 'Obregon Report Delayed.-. The first report of the assassination of Carranza was filed by Obregon Fri day night. The message did not reach here until today. - This message said: "Have just received the following message from: Huauchinango, state of Puebla, signed by Colonel L. Her nandez: " 'General lrlel advises me frohi Villa Juarez that the troops of the ex-fedcral officer, Rodolfo Herrero, killed President Carranza at 1 A. M. at a place called Tlazcaltehango. There were found six or seven more bodies of the men in Carranza's party. It is not stated who these men might be. 1 will wire details later. Rodolfo Herrero surrendered last March to General Mariel -and had been an of ficer under General Palaez.' " Revolutionists today were eager in their attempts to show that Carranza was not killed by the revolutionists but "by his own men." The depart ment of propaganda and information at Nogales sent a message to the com mercial agent of the de facto govern ment here urging that the news be given to the press with particular stress on "the fact that the happening occurred far away from the field of operation' of our forces." ' Rebel Leaders Anxloua. From the wording of the Obregon telegram,- skepticism was expressed here by many persons in close touch with the revolution concerning the affiliations of Herrero. The anxiety of the Mexicans on this point was laid to the concern over what the attitude of the United States might be if the reported assassination was laid to the revolutionists.
