in the control or the people, their right
to control, their capacity to control,

consideration of plans for the main
tenance of peace along the Mexican-
American border will 'be resumed, but '
reports which continue to arrive of
Villa's activity in Chihuahua may
serve as a further delay to agreement '
The commissioners make no secret of
the fact that failure of General Car- -ranza's
forces to run down Villa has
proved embarrassing to, them in con-
siderlng means for imorovlnc border
conditions.
It was considered probable tonutht
that General Carransa's latest electoral
decree would be discussed tomorrow.
A copy of the decree has reached tha
American commissioners from Wash
ington and while the details of the
document have not been revealed, it la
said to stipulate that none of those
connected even remotely with the
Huerta administration shall have the
right to vote at the coming presiden '
tlal election.
Another subject to be discussed
