ERA OF BLOODSHED IN BO SEEMS NEARING END; UP TO CARRANZA Carbajal Says He’s Willing to Retire in Favor of Rebel Chief, Who in Turn Declares That He is Willing to Negotiate With Federals For Peaceful Transfer of Power in Mexico City—General Amnesty a Stumbling Block Recognition By American Gov ernment of New Administra tion Hinges on Agreement Between Constitutionalists and Federals—ls Former Sign, Niagara Protocol Would Be Consummated and Revolution Settled—Fears Over Villa’s Course Lessened. « Washington. Administration offi cials saw peace looming today on the horizon of Mexican politics. Francisco Carbajal's informal statement to the Washington government that he in tended to retire In favor of Carranza, constitutionalist chief, and Carranza's announcement that he was willing to negotiate with the federals for peace ful transfer of power in Mexico City, were regarded as practical assurances that the era of bloodshed was near an end in the southern rejublic. Amnesty Proclamation. The road remained to be cleared, however, for negotiations between the two Mexican factions. Carbajal, Huer ta’s successor, seeks a proclamation .of general amnesty for the forces fought against the northern armies. Members of the revolutionary junta in Washington expressed doubt whether Carranza would be willing to grant that. They took the attitude that persons who turned against Ma dero should be compelled to face court trials. By that means, they contended, potential possibilities of counter up risings would be eliminated. For Peaceful Hntry. That this and all other stumbling blocks would he swept aside, however, for the peaceful entry of Carranza into the Mexican capital was the be lief generally expressed. Secretary Bryan was'*' particularly optimistic. “Watchful waiting,’’ he thought, had resulted in success. Fears over the attitude that Villa, the northern military chief, might take toward the new turn in the sit uation, partially were discounted by his statement that there was "no need for apprehension regarding my stay in the north ” He said he expected to move his troops from Chihuahua state toward Mexico City within the next few days. Hinges on Possibility. The American government’s attitude toward recognition of a new adminis tration in Mexico hinged upon the possibility of an agreement between the federals and the constitutionalists. Should Carranza make a convention with the commission sent from Mexico City to Guadalajara, then the terms of the Niagara protocol would be con summated and recognition would be extended after claims growing out of the revolution have been settled. How ever if the contending factions failed to agree, and Carranza insisted upon fighting his way into Mexico City, the American government would withhold recognition until after elections had taken place. 6 DEAD,I9 HURT, TRIILERJRASH Street Car, Running at High Speed, Plunges Into Freight Train on Virginia Railway.

London. —Commenting upon the res ignation of Huerta, the morning pa pers give credit to President Wilson for the success of his policy but con sider that the Mexican imbroglio Is in no way solved. The Chronicle as serts that it is premature to describe as a triumph for Mr. Wilson. He gained his point, the paper says, but his policy has entailed an appalling amount of murder and pillage, most of which could have been avoided If he had Joined Europe in recognizing Huerta. Respite, Not Reprieve. The Daily Mail regards Huerta’s resignation as granting a respite but not a reprieve in the situation. It says, however, the world will breathe more freely at the thought that war between the United States and Mexico has been averted. The Times considers that President. Wilson never intended to elevate the rule of non-recognition applied to Huerta into a policy of universal ap plication. Not Disposed Of. “But,” adds The Times, "the sequel has proved him right, and his remark able innovation in diplomatic proce dure has thus far Justified itself both in atm and method. The ultimate Mexican question, however, is not yet disposed of. Rather is it beginning to reveal its true proportions.” WIELDS CLEAVER .

Washington.—For associate Justice supreme court, says a special to the Atlanta Journal, Attorney General James C. Mcßeynolds of Tennessee. For attorney general to succeed Mc- Riynolds, Secretary of War Llndloy M. Garrison of New Jersey. The foregoing slate Is understood to he receiving consideration of Presi dent Wilson In hi* efforts to fill In the vacancy of the United States su preme court caused by the death ot Justice Lurton. In the current discussion of Mr. Wilson's appointment, Mr. Mcßeynolds has been t nthe forefront but It was not disclosed until yesterday that the president was giving any thought to shifting Mr. Garrison and putting him once again Into a thoroughly legal realm. As viewed In administration circles the great obstacle to the transfer of Mr. Garrison Is that it would necesal tate a change In the administration of the war department. Mr. Wilson Is not willing to do this, because Mr. Garrison has made himself a diligent student of army problems and la rated In Washington as having a compre hensive grasp on the manifold dutlei of his post Another consideration Is that the secretary of war Is of higher grade In the cabinet list than the attorney gen eral. This, however, la only bscaur* of precedents.
