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."

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

head of the government lost an arm

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.

OBBEGON DENOUNCES
CARRANZAS SLAYERS
EL PASO, Texas, May 22. (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.
