That the next battle between the forces of Obregon and Villa. 'Willi take place at Francisco, a small town be tween Irapuato and Aguascalientes, ii the Indication now. This town Is held by Villa forces. It Ilea in a nook of hills and has a natural line of fortifi cations which would make it an excel lent point for making a stand. Obrecon Has 4200 Is Claim. Gen. Alvaro Obregon reriewed 4 2.0 J troops Wednesday afternoon at Ira puato. according to a Carraneista re port received at the border Thursday morning by Carranza agents. Five thousand of Obregon's troops, it is claimed, are former Villa soldiers who were captured during the recent fight lnp for the possession of Celaya. Obregon. according to Carrancista claims, has sent 2t,M4 men northwari, in pursuit of Villa's forces, and a bat tle at Afruascalientee is declared Im minent Ten thousand men were sent westward towards Guadalajara with the hope of catting off the advance of the Villa troops recently stationed at that city and who are now said te be on their way to Join Gen. Villa's main column at the concentration camp :n A cuascalientes. Carranza officials declare that Obre gon does not intend to let Villa reor ganize his army, but will engage him in a. second battle, which promises to be e en more bloody than the first, within the next 10 days. Gen. Cesareo Castro, Obregon's cav alry chief, has arrived at Veracruz for a conference with Gen. Carranza. He was said to have verified Obregon's estimation of the Villa losses in the fighting about Celaya, giving the number of killed aiid wounded as 6000 and 5000 desertions. It was doubted by observers whether Obregon would move his entire force to Irapuato, which although a large town, is almost impossible to defend. This fact doubtless caused Villa's re treat to Aguascalientes upon aggres sion of the Obregon armv from Celaya. Villa Forces Mobilizing. Advices received in Juarez from Aguascalientes Thursday said that Gen. Rafael Buelna, governor of Sinaloa. was the first commander to answer Villa's call for a mobilization of all the conrentionist army at Aguascalientes, arriving there last night at the head nt 2200 troops. Others expected to arrive within the next few days are Gen. Raoul Madera, who brings the troops from Monterey: the Manuel Chao brigade, which has been operating In the vicinity of Ebano. Tanx. To mas Urbina, who commands a brigade of nearly 5000 men; Gen. Jose L Rodri guez, commander of the recent siege on Matamoros. and nearly 1S00 more troops who are on their way from cuadalajara. Check Obregon Is Purpose This is taken to mean that Villa is going to make a desperate attempt to check Obregon's victorious advance northward Obregon, it is said, has al ready penetrated 460 miles of territory which was once supposed to be abso lutely Villista. and that advance has l eached the junction of Irapuato. hav ing taken that city without a right. Suspend Freight and Ikprrjj. Freight and express traffic has been discontinued on the Mexican railway lines by order of Gen. Villa, to enable him to move with greater rapidity all of his troops to the Aguascalientes concentration camp. Villa officials de clare that the reorganized Conven tion army will contain not less than CS.000 troops. anta Barbara District, Mexico, h ASKS $30,000 FOR BOUNDARY FIGHT biirnes cmseliees colonel abdutlesfllityof gdverworship New York Constitution Provides Governor Must Be a Resident of State Five Years Previous to Election; Eoosevelt Affidavit Shows He Was a Resi dent of Washington the Year Previous. SYRACUSE. N. Y. April 22. Dur ing the first part of hjs examina tion of Theodore Roosevelt today, Wm. Ivins, " chief counsel for Wm. Barnes, brought from the former presi dent the statement that be knew the constitution of the state of New York provides that no man Is eligible to the office of governor unless he has been a resident of the state for five years prior to the date of his election- and that he had made an affidavit the year previous to his own election that he was and for some time had been a resi dent of Washington. CoL Roosevelt's counsel made no ob jection whatever to the line or ques tioning which resulted in these state men ts- Darnes Counsel Is Ready. Three bundles of papers containing notes and two suit cases of records and pamphlets were taken into the supreme court by counsel for Barnes. The docu ments were to be used by Ivins, In his cross examination of the defendant. Barnes, himself was said to have sug gested1 many questions for his opponent in anUTar.r There was delay in opening court because of a conference between at torneys and Justice Andrews in the lat- ter's chamber. A copy of the report of the Bayne committee, which investi gated Albany county affairs, insofar as it related to printing was admitted to the record. This had to do with con tracts for sate printing let to the AI SbtfyToarnal.' Barnes's paper, and Oth er concerns, and the assignment of cer tain of these contracts. Claims Barnes Received Graft. Excerpts from, the report were then read. The first part had to do with gambling, disorderly houses and the payment of money to various officials for doing various things. The report of the committee was made in 1911. One excerpt was: "The most conspicu ous beneficiary of graft, public ex travagance and raiding of the munici pal treasury, we find from the evidence, to be Wm. Barnes himself, as the uwner of the majority of the stock of the Journal company. How much more than the majority of its stock he owned he refused to disclose." Bayne Report Submitted. Counsel Bowers for Roosevelt late Wednesday offered the Bayne commit tee report to the legislature in evidence. The report contains under subheads: "The case of Wm. Barnes.- "Failure to suppress crimes, "Gambling. "Print ing," "Fifteen percent paid the Journal company by Argus company to get city printing," "Graft and extravagance," "Padding of the public printing for the benefit of the Journal company." "Du plicate payments for house printing made to Journal company." "Selecting trial Jurors." and "The Albany Lincoln league." Factions TJnlte. "William Loeb told me at one time he went to Mr. Barnes to ask if the Re publicans in the legislature were sup porting an anti-machine Democratic candidate." said Roosevelt. "Mr Barnes told Mr. Loeb it was impossible, as he had an inronclad arrangement with Mr. Murphy and that Mr. Murphy was to have a -free hand to do as he pleased in regard to election of a United States senator. "Franklin Roosevelt spoke to me about the general situation, including the election of a United States senator. All this was in 1912. He called my at tention to the union of independent men of both parties, by which tbey beat the Barnes and Murphy machine in the primary fiht. "Mr. Roosevelt told me bat I knew it anyhow, myself. Why Mr. Roosevelt also told me that the Republican ma chine legislators were simply puppets in the hands of boss Barnes, as he called him. Mr. Roosevelt issued a statement about it in 1S11." "When did you last see Mr. Barnes?" asked Mr. Bowers. Witness replied: Reasoned With Barnes. "At the Lincoln day banquet in the Republican dub in New York in 1S11. I had a conversation -with him there. I tofd him he -was definitely in control of the Republican party. I said his posi tion was one of importance. I asked him to act to the Republican party as a whole as his grandfather. Thurlow Weed, had in the old Whig party. "I told Mr. Barnes he was In reality the Lincoln of the Republican party and that If he would act in the spirit shown by Tburlow Weed I believed he would receive all Republican support. I added that the time had passed when I tv, n-nnhiiMn nnrtv ontiM n -minti an I Mr. Piatt had ruled it. ! "X BaiO Wievcu utvic wuuiu uc 4 1;- volt if any bossiem was attempted. Mr. Barnes replied he would do as he deemed best. That ended the conver sation." Wanted to Reach Voters After the report was read. CoL Roose velt resumed the stand today. In reply to questions by Mr. Bowers he ex plained how he gave out the offending statement: "I dictated the statement and give it to Mr. ilcGrath. my secretary, and told him to give it to newspaper cor respondents at Oyster Bay. I desired the statement to be published in full throughout New York state. I believed It would receive Bosne publicity outside the state. "I wanted to reach the voters. 1 knew of no other means except the newspapers." The cross examination then began Mr. Ivins began by asking CoL Roosc vent about bis early life. "Did you ever study the constitu tion 7" "I did while I was studying law in Columbia university. Later, however. I became an author." "When you read the constitution of the state did yon see anything about eligibility for the governorship?" "I don't remember. I guess I did." What committees were you on in the aseemblyT "I was on a committee which in 18S4 Investigated certain offices in New York." "Did you investigate the department of public works?" "Yec, bat the investigation was re sented and we stoppetV "As chairman of that Investigation did yon become familiar with the methods of conducting legislative in vestigations?" "I became familiar with the manner in which I conducted them." "Do you know it has been the custom of legislative committees to conduct ex parte investigations'" "Some have done so. My committees always tried to do justice to both sides." "Did you investigate the office of the sheriff of New York?" "Yes. and I employed as our attorney a man incapable of doing injustice to any man." "Did the sheriff ever gne any evi- , dence in his own behalf during your . "I can't Just remember.

"Because I did it. Whenever I do anything. I try to see to it that Jus tice is done." Ills Residence in Washington. "You testified yesterday that in 1SSS you resided in Washington. Is that right?" "Yes, I was living there for the pur poses of carrying on my duties as as sistant secretary of the navy. I Was there about a year." "In 1887 did you pay any taxes other than real estate in Oyster Bay?" "I don't remember." "Do you recall making an affidavit in Oyster Bay that you were a resident of New York?" -No." "Are you prepared to swear yon paid personal taxes either in New York or Oyster Bay in 17?" "I remember nothing about it." "In 1S98 did you appear before the tax commissioners in reference to your assessment?" "I don't remember." "Affidavit Is Produced." A photograph of a tax notice sent to the witness in 1S9S was entered in evidence. "Do you remember making an affi davit in ISM about your New York tax assessment?" "Yes. I made it In Washington." "You made an interlineation in this affidavit?" "Yes." The affidavit was identified bv CoL Roosevelt and read. In it CoL Roose velt said that since 1897 he had not lived in New York and that he was then a resident of Washington. Mr. Ivins then read section 2, article 4, of the state constitution, which provides that a person Is not eligible for the governorship unless he for five years continuously has been a resident of New York state. Knew othInc of Provision. CoL Roosevelt said he first saw that part of the constitution after his re turn from the Spanish war. "I now call your attention." Mr. Ivins went on, "to a paper signed by secretary of war Alger. It is a com mission of lieutenant calonel of volun teers given to you in 185S. In this CoL Roosevelt is described as a resi dent of Washington." At this point a recess was taken. Produces! Tax Receipts. When CoL Roosevelt resumed the stand at the afternoon session, he pro duced tax receipts of Oyster Bay dated in 1897. The colonel said he believed the receipts for real and personal property. He did not have the receiut or 1808, but produced a check showing jnat ne pain more taxes tnat year wan in ny previous year when he paid both real and personal taxes. '.'Now- a matter of fact. Mr. Roose veit, saia iv-ins, "did you make an affidavit in 1897 in Oyster Bay that you were a resident of New York?" "I do not remember. But I did be come a resident of New York at that period."
