i
I ROME, April 17. After an
interval of 50 years, the Coli
j seum again lias been the scene
of the moving and picturesque'
ceremony of the Via Crucis.
Pope Benedict XIV, who
! reigned as pope from 1740 to
j 1758, instituted the ceremony
' by placing a cross in the center
I of the arena, where martyrs
had given their lives for the
faith, and erecting 14 stations
j of the cross about the historic
(pile. Each Friday the ancient
J amphitheater witnessed the sol
emn rite.
The practice was abandoned
in 1870, and the stations were
removed in 1872 by De Rosa,
She archaeologist, who explored
the strata underlying the arena.
The celebrants have one more
visited the Coliseum, however,
and arrayed in their strange
gray garments which included a
cowl which covered the head
and face, have revived the cere
mony 'of old time.

Premier Millerand and Lloyd1
George to Seek Agreement
on Reparations Clause
I PARIS, May 4. Premier Millerand
is going to London next week to con
ifer with David Lloyd George, the
(British prime minister, regarding fi
nancial questions. It is expected an
agreement will be reached with regard
to execution of the reparations clauses
of the treaty of Versailles.
The premiers will also agree on the
basis of tho discussions to be held
with tho German representatives at
the Spa meeting on May 25.
The French viewpoint is th,at they
will not discuss the principle of any
clause of tho treaty and will take up
with the Germans' only the manner
of applying the treaty's terms.
What practically amounts to a modi
fication of the reparations clauso will
be discussed in the, form of proposed
minimum and maximum totals of rep
arations. The French probably will not accept
a lower minimum than 100 billion
marks gold, but are likely to consent
to fixing the maximum reparation pay
able by Germany at 150.000,000,000
marks, which was the limit the Ameri
can experts reported they found Ger
many able to pay.
The minimum jjum. may be divided
into annuities of 3,000,000,000 marks,
as discussed at San Remo.

Leo Deloney, one of the five "wives"
Watson is said to havo confessed he
killed.
The start was to be made from El
Centro, Cal., to which point Watson
was taken from here late last night
Before boarding the train, Watson
Issued through his attorney a long
statement in which he reviewed the
acts set forth in his alleged confes
sion to the district attorney and con
cluded with the query;
"Is it reasonable to think my acts
are the work of a sane man, who was
in a position to control himself or to
understand the risk of exposure he
ran?
He described himself as ordinarily
"tender hearted and easily moved to
tears at the sight of sadness or dis
tress and ever ready to help relieve
such condition." and working as best
he could "to make the world better."
He said he had lived with three
"wives" at the same time Jn San Fran
cisco and risked detection by escorting
I them to restaurants and theatres and
had done practically the same thing
in other cities. J
"I wonder," he continued, "if the
public cannot sde the logical position!
of -my case Instead of clamoring for re
venge, give my actions and mental
condition just consideration.
"My every act shows I am to be
pitied more than to be blamed for hav
ing developed into this strange un
controllable condition, but I am any
thing else by my natural self." i
In making tho statement public the
attorney described it as his client's
"unaided verbatum statement, written
in long hand by himself."
Tho sheriff's office announced to
night that Mrs. M. B. Goldsmith of
Wallace, Idaho, had identified a pho
tograph of Watson as that of a man
she married at Taooma, Wash., Janu
ary 11, 1919, under the name of
Charles Newton.
James P. Malseed, chief of police of

that he may bo a man who married
there and shortly afterward deserted

Carranza Seems Safe for

WASHINGTON, May 4. Relief VU
was shown both in government circles
and by revolutldnary agents here to- m
day when it became tfhow that Juarez,
Mexico, where revolutionary fighting j
always has been a potential interna- j jH
tional danger, had been taken by the 1 Jf
rebels without 'afigh.L ll

struggle. Il
Carranza Failure. Il
Information available here indicates
that the two campaigns begun by Car
ranza have been failures. His effort
to attack the Sonora troops from the H
stae of Chihuahua has been brought
to an end by the defection of every
garrison in that state, and the ex- ' IH
pedition sent from the south through jH
the state of Jalisco to check the south
ward movements of rebels through the
states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Nayarit
has not succeeded, largely because of
the harrassing by small rebel groups.
In the state of Sinaloa there remained MWl
a federal garrison at Mazatlan, buL too
small, military observers say, to as
sumc the offensive and not strong
enough to withstand a heavy attack. j
Helps the Rebels. j
Tho occupation of Jaurez makes it (j
possible, in the opinion of American " jH
military men, for the rebel leaders to 1 i IH
divert their Sonora forces to the route
southward from Chihuahua towards
Torreon.
Possession of Torreon gives its hold
er the advantage of operating east'
ward through the state of Coahuila to (
Saltillo and Monterey, away to tha (
south.
Carranza's strength in Coahuila, his i
own state, appears almost unimpaired, 'I
but in the adjoining; state of Nuevo . IH

Carranza will be forced to surreha jH

time despite progress made by the jH

The greatest immediate danger that 'H
official and unofficial observers here
professed to see in tho situation so jl
far as it affected Carranza, was that
menacing him to the south. Tho long lI
hook has now reached its barb almost ll
