HUERTA'S RULE HAS BEEN ONE OFJLOODSHED Killing of Madero Marked Begin ning of Despotism. 1 - .- - MADE VAIN BOAST TO TAFT Dictator Declared He Would Restore Peace at Once, but Refusal of United States to Recognize Him Assured His Downfall. Victoriano Huerta took oath as pro visional president of Mexico February 19. 1913, the day after President Fran cisco 1. Madero, Jr., had been ar rested at the national palace. Three days later Madero and Jose Maria Pino Suarez, vice-president, were shot to death while on a mid night ride under guard from the pal ace to the penitentiary. The precise manner of their death has never been explained. One of Huerta’s first acts as provi sional president was to telegraph Will iam H. Taft, then president of the Vnited States, the following message: "I have the honor to Inform you that I have overthrown the govern ment. The forces are with me, and from now on peace and prosperity will reign." PROVOKES CIVIL WAR. The Mexican republic, however, was at once plunged into civil war again, notwithstanding the issuance by Huerta of a proclamation of general amnesty. The Sonora state congress officially repudiated the provisional government before Huerta settled himself comfortably in the presidential chair. Zapata, revolutionary leader to the south of the capital, after negotiating a few da\s with the new regime, went back to his guerrilla campaign. Salazar, one of the highest generals In the army, denounced Huerta. Carranza, constitutionalist leader in Chihuahua, assailed Huerta in a bitter statement made public at San Anto nio. Francisco Villa announced himself an adherent of Madero and joined the northern army. Pasqual Orozco of the clan of the northern revolutionists was the lone notable figure among the disaffected who de< lared for the new government. TAFT LEAVES PROBLEM. President Taft, nearing the end of his term, left to his successor the problem of adjusting diplomatic rela tions with Mexico. To Woodrow Wil son Huerta sent felicitations on the day of the American president's in auguration. Hampered at the outset of his ad ministration by the refusal of the T'nited States to recognize him. Huer ta scon faced growing difficulties in raising funds to run his government. His uneasy hold on affairs was weak ened by minor constitutionalist vic tories in the north and by recurring rumors of a break with Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfirio Diaz and Huerta's ally in the overthrow of Madero. HUERTA CALLS ELECTION. May 1 Huerta announced that he would urge congress to call elections in October to choose his successor. The congress selected October 26 as the date of the election, and a decree to that effect was issued by Huerta June 3. Feliz Diaz, who had announced him self as a candidate for the presidency, was sent to Japan July 17. Henry' Lane Wilson, American am bassador. was recalled to Washington, and Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge d'affaires, was left in charge of Amer ican interests in Mexico. REJECTS PEACE EFFORT. Early in August it became known that President Wilson Intended to send John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, to Mexico as his personal representative in an endeavor to ar range a basis for the republic's peace. Huerta announced that he would not tolerate foreign interference. Nevertheless Mr. Lind delivered his note from President Wilson. Huerta rejected all proposals made by the American government, chief of which were the suggestions that he resign and not be a candidate elec tion day. Relations between Mexico and the 1'nited States became acute. President Wilson proclaimed his policy in an ad dress before congress to which was attached the correspondence between Mr. Lind and the Huerta administra tion. HUERTA ARRESTS DEPUTIES. Huerta was attacked in the Mexican senate October 5 by Senator Domin guez. who had the hardihood to speak what was in the minds of himself and some of his colleagues. Dominguez disappeared. The chamber of deputies adopted a resolution calling for an investigation. To this Huerta’s reply was dramatic and sv.ift. He marched a column of trcops to the deputies' chamber, seized 110 of them and threw them into prison. Through Mr. O'Shaughnessy the 1'nited States made representations against violence to thek imprisoned deputies in the election campaign certain in llueuce close to the dictator worked for his return to the presidency, with (ieneral Blanquet as his running mate, and lent color to the persistent report that Huerta really desired to be elected and that his pretenses to the contrary were a sham. U. 8. DEMANDS HE RESIGN. When It became certain that the elections had resulted in no constitu tional choice on account of the failure of voters to go to the polls, the Amer ican government peremptorily called on him to resign. In a statement to the diplomatic corps November 9 Huerta announced that he would declare the result of the election null and order another elec tion. November 12 Huerta refused to ac cede to the American demand for his resignation, and Mr. Lind left Mexico City for Vera Cruz. Meantime the United States dis patched warships to the Mexican coast and Americans continued to leave Mexico. U. S. VEERS TO CARRANZA. - Definite proposals were made by the United States to Carranza and his adherents. Several of the European powers, notably Great Britain. Germany and France, gave strong support to the policy of the United States. The constitutionalists grew stronger and continued their advance to the south. They captured Victoria, Chi huhua, Juarez and Tuliacan. The situation became so critical that Great Britain. Germany, France, Spain and Japan ordered warships to Mexican waters. Fighting continued at Tampico and many other centers. Torreon soon was taken by the constitutionalists. RAISES EMBARGO ON ARMS. An embargo placed on the exporta tion of arms from the United States to Mexico was raised early In February of the present year. ▲ large number of American troops were concentrated on the border, and the American fleet in Mexican waters was strengthened. The constitutionalists advanced on Torreon and Monterey. The former place was captured early in April. Then came the departure of Mr. Lind from Vera Cruz and the arrest of a party of American bluejackets at Tampico, for which an apology and salute were demanded by the United States and refused by Huerta. AMERICANS TAKE VERA CRUZ. April 21 American bluejackets and marines were landed at Vera Cruz in consequence of the reported arrival of a large consignment of arms and am munition for Huerta. A number of Americans were killed In the street fighting. The Mexicans retired and destroyed a portion of the railroad and the Americans held the port. Shortly after a mediation proposal from Argentina, Brazil and Chile was accepted. A conference ensued at Ni agara Falls In the Interval American troops re lieved the bluejackets at Vera Cruz. These have since remained in occupa tion of the port. Tampico and Zacatecas fell into the constitutionalists' hands and the vic torious armies continued their march on Mexico City, where rumors were In circulation for many weeks of the res ignation of Huerta. With Huerta's retirement the con stitutionalists feel that their revolu tion has virtually triumphed. They turned against him the moment he overthrew Madero, the constitutional president of Mexico, in February, 1912, and have waged war with unrelenting vigor ever since. U. S. TROOPS REMAIN IDLE. The prospect of an early solutiou of the Mexican problem gave both presi dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan much joy. naturally. American forces will not be withdraw n from Vera Cruz until a stable government has been es tablished in Mexico City and recogni tion has been accorded the new gov ernmenL The feeling is general, however, that if Carranza gives guarantees to politi cal offenders as well as the people generally recognition will be prompt ly extended by the United States and other nations of Central and South America, as well as Europe. LAWYER IN PLACE OF POWER For the First Time In History Mex ican Republic Haa a Civilian in Presidential Chair. Mexico City.—Francisco Carbajal is forty-four years old. a native of the state of Campeche, and a lawyer. Almost ever since the start of his career he has occupied posts In the judiciary. In the Madero administra tion he was a senator, but relin quished his post to re-enter the su preme court, of which he was chief justice at the time General Huerta ap pointed him minister of foreign rela tions. When General Porfirio Diaz deter mined In 1911 to treat with the Made ro revolutionists, Senor Carbajal pro ceeded to Juarez as his commissioner. Senor Carbajal has a reputation for possessing considerable Intellectual force and independence of character. His demeanor is quiet. He shuns the eXuberance In verbiage and gesticu lation to which Latin-Amrricans are prone. He is courteous, but a man of few words and little given to elabo rate compliments. Besides, he is neat and well groomed in appearance. His features indicate pure European descent, with out any admixture of Indian blood. Altogether he is a man who con veys an impression of reserve power. He is a good man of business. His probity has never been ques tioned. He has been sagacious and successful In investments and. while not rich, is a man of independent means. He is a man of family. Tap Underground River. Ten thousand acres of land in the Santa Cruz valley, Arizona, are irri gated with water obtained by tapping an underground river. Twenty large centrifugal pumps, driven by electric power, bringing an underground river to the surface. At times this rivfi flows on the surface, during the rainy season, but as soon as the dry months come along the water recedes beneath the surface of the earth. Then the electrically-driven pumps raise this water back to the surface so it flows into the irrigation ditches. These main canals are tapped by the farmers fcr sufficient water to irrigate their growing crops. \_ Un-Romanlike. Roman Banker (to American tour ist)—I suppose you're doing as the Ro mans do?

SEEKING PEACE ADMINISTRATION SEES END OF MEXICO’S TROUBLE. NOTABLE ABSENCE OF CHIME Mexico City Remains Tranquil Dun ing Change of Leaders, Although Unrest Is Apparent. Washington.—Every influence and diplomatic agency at the disposal ol the United States government is working for immediate peace in Mex ico. • The administration is convinced that with ihe elimination of Huerta for which it has been steadily press ing for more than a year, the various factions in Mexico' will be drawn to gether. To aid in this and assure res toration of normal conditions without further bloodshed, officials here are exerting themselves to smooth the way for a new and stable administra tion in Mexico, which shall be recog nized by the powers of the world. Not only is the American govern ment at this moment counselling Gen eral Carranza, the constitutionalist chief, to arrange with Francisco Car bajal; Huerta's successor, for the peaceful transfer of the government at Mexico City to the constitutional ists without further fighting, but it became known that the administra tion is indirectly in communication with Emiliano Zapata, leader of the revolution in southern Mexico. Epidemic of Suicides. Mexico City.—An unprecedented number of suicides and attempted suicides have taken place since the fall of the Huerta government. Four suicides and three attempts have been reported. The residents are appalled, as such attempts are rare here. There has been a notable lack of crime and the tranquility of the cap ital continues undisturbed, although a feeling of uneasiness prevails. Every representative of a foreign power received two telegrams from General Huerta. One of them was for tie diplomat personally, bidding him farewell and asking that he re pose confidence in President Carba jal; the other was for the government | represented, requesting support for | the new Mexican government. The exception was in the case of the I United States, for which the Brazilian ' minister received no message. I_ Barrel Stave Booze Barred.

P. ROAD. STATE BUILDINGS NEED REPAID Structures At Kearney Industrial School Are Said to be In Danger ous Condition. Lincclm—District Judge Stewart granted the state railway commission a writ ot mandamus compelling the Missouri Pacific railroad to place a telephone in its station at Panama The attorney for the road gave notice that an appeal will be taken to the supreme court. The case is a test case to determine the constitution ality of the law passed by the legislti- , ture in 1909. Yale Holland of Omaha represented the railroad, and Deputy Attorney General Ayres appeared for the slate. The railroad contends that the leg Isiature exceeded its police powers in passing a law forcing on the railroads or the state the expense of installing telephones in their stations. It was also argued that such legislation con stitutes an interference with the in terstate commerce act. Another ob jection raised was that anyway the law was not properly passed, as it war, signed by the presiding officer of the senate. Says Buildings Are In Bad Shape.
