'Not fhat we expect Pentecost to be re

lar blessings from God when we meet tho

to be had. I recall that I was eoming
back to America from an extended .trip
abroad some time ago and as we neared

important recommendation of this' report
was that ruling; elders of churches hav
ing no pastor shall continue the work of

adopted. ::c- t: Vlv."
The recommendation that s30.000 be
raised to translate Dr.- Orr, 's dictionary
into , the Chinese language provoked con
siderable discussion, owing to the fact
that this dictionary contains much favor
able to the doctrine of evolution ' and
as it is the mission ; of, this church to
eombat materialistic evolution. Many
arguments were heard against this work

vestigation, for the purpose of clarifying
the part taken in fhe death of President
Carransa, both by Colonel JKodolfo Her
rero and members of the Carransa party,
is recommended by the commission of
four named by Generals ' Obregon ' and
Gonzales to inquire into ' the tragedy at
Tlaxacalantongo . . The conunissiori sub
mitted its report last night and cited ten
points which, the members had agreed had
been proven from stories of witnesses.
it was added that in a number of points
many other stories purporting to tell the
actual , circumstances should not be con
firmed and were unworthy of credence. r!
The commission's report, which is the
rst authoritative story of the death of
Carranza, may be summarised as . fol
lows: J:- :V';.'-. ;5;i' y!A
Colonel. HerrerO joined the Carranza
party at Putla, state of Puebla, on May
20, following a conference with General
Francisco de P. Mariel,' to whom he
surrendered last March. Hcrrero pledged
allegiance- anew, and promised to defend
Carranza, which promise was accepted
by General MarieL who. told the fugitive
president ' that Herrero wan , willing to
light for him General Mariel then left
the !arrana party and ; did not go to
Tlaxcalantongo. . - '
'J When Carranss reached Tlaxcalanton-
go he was carried by Herrero to the hut
where he was to - sleep V s Herrero was
with Carranza when beds in this shelter
were assigned to the president, Manuel
Agulrre Berlanga, minister ef the inters
ior; Mario Mendes, chief of telegraphs;
Gil Farias, the president V private sec- i
retary, and Captains Amador and Suarez,
his aides. General -Murguia and other
members of the "party were taken to dif
ferent houses in the Village. Before re
tiring Carranza ordered Captain Suarez
to assist in placing sentinels, all of whom
were Herrero 's men. ' .' ; i y ::
I Herrero later told Carranza that a
messauger had informed him his brother
was injured, whereupon Herrero left the
village, promising to return.-At 3 o 'clock
on the morning of May 21, three of Her
rero 's men entered the president's hHt,
stating they had been ordered to report
to. him what the situation was, adding
that nothing new had ' occurred r Car
ranza listened to the report, ami then
told the ,men to leave. " '"'i,
(The Tcportsays this niove was prob
ably for the purpose of ascertaining if
all' in the nut were in bed and whether
Carranza had changed his position.) -5
"Half an hour later the hut was nti
tacked from' all .aides.: President Car
ranza was heard to cry : ' I can t get
up? my leg is broken He then beggwl
for a carbine so that he could defend
himself, but, was' answered by a volley
which ended his life instantly
; 'The other occupants' of the hut fled,
as-did those in the other shelters and
there was great confusion in the village.
Herrero, at the head of his men, cap
tured many of the party, who were taken
12 miles away while; others were left Jn
TlaxcaJantonjco . f, Four ' or five , of these
prisoners were forced to sign a- .state
ment, that Carranza had.-committed sui

Manuel Aguirre Berlanga,' and written
by Paulino Fontes, director of Mexican
national railways. ". ? - ' . . :
,V These facts are alleged to '"prove a
conspiracy ; was prepared in advance, by
Herrero, which inspired confidence in him
py Carranza and ended in ) the , presi
dent 's -iiettayaJ.5'.',' .v!-:7.
The report recommends that a formal
inveHtigation be, ordered to clear up the
other points of the incident which relate
to the part taken by Herrero 's men and
members ef the president 's party.' :; It
was c signed by Roque Estrada and Com
modore Hilario Rodriguee, named by Ob
regon, and Aquiles Elorduy and General
Fortunanto Zuasua,;- appointed by Gen

by the commissioners and attached to the
report were found those made by Gen

Helioiiore Perez, Captain 0 ivio Amador
and Jupiter Ramirez. Th. preamble to
the report gives as reasons for the reeom
