MEXICO CITY, Oct. 12,-rrosldent
Huerta's defense of his action In causing
the arrest of 110 members of the Cham
ber of Deputies last night Is that the
deputies were revolutionists. 1 It Is his be
lief, as he states It, that they repre
sented the Carranza sentiment In tho
capital. '
In a proclamation dissolving the cham
ber It Is frankly stated that their threat
to remove themselves from the capital
and hold sessions where they would enjoy
the protection, which they alleged wai
denied them here, meant that they would
transfer their sessions to territory con
trolled by tho rebels. In spite of tho
fact, the proclamation continues, that the
executive has Intervened with good offices
repeatedly. In order to prevent clashes
between the chamber and the other
branches of the government and has car
ried prudence and good wjll to an ex
treme by going repeatedly to ask the
deputies to reconsider their illegal acts,
his tolerance has resulted In nothing fur
ther than obtaining additional proof that
the body wns decidedly of a dissolution
1st and revolutionary character, and was
"resolved to finish with the executtvo
power by whatever means possible with
out caring that the gravest posslblo con
sequences were entailed by such conduct."
Declares, Deputies Hostile
In a. separate proclamation addressed
to the Mexican people the. president de
clared that the deputies had shown sys
tematic and Implacable hostility to each
and all of his acts.
"Tho executive has been able to con
vince himself," the proclamation con
tinues, "that a majority of the deputies
had resolved 'to deny him all financial
assistance, In spite of the abnormal con
ditions through which the country Is
passing and the grave obligations which
It has both tit home and abroad."
The chamber, the president assorted,
even overstepped the bounds of common
courtesy and decency. He had seen him
self alluded to In a way profoundly of
fensive and calumnous by the commit
tees appointed to Investigate hypothetical
offenses.
"If the undersigned," the proclamation
adds, "saw In the rebellious attitude of
the chamber a co-ordinate movement
emanating from public opinion with
leaders capable of taking over the gov
ernment and conducting the country to
ways of prosperity, he would gladly
abandon power and give It Into expert
hands. Nothing of the kind Is happening.
The opposition of the chamber was due
to the roost conflicting motives and the
most divergent aspirations."
Desire of Obstructionists.
Officials close to President Huerta
said that In the opinion of the executive
the desire of the obstructionists In con
gress was at first to prevent the elec
tions and falling In that to declare them
void for the purpose of keeping General
Huerta In power. This done they would
point out to the United States the Im
perialistic attitude of Huerta, attributing
his retention of the presidency to his
machinations, their purpose being to se
cure support to the revolutionary cause.
The minister of foreign relations called
on the diplomatic representatives today
and explained at length the attitude of
the administration and General Huerta's
desire to hold the elections as planned.
The deputies aro still In prison. A re
port which was current Jthat some of
them had been killed is flthout founda
tion. The government officials appar

110SKINS, Neb., Oct. ll.-(8peclal Tel
egram.) A bitter feud of long standing
between town authorities and two young
farmer came to a dramatic climax to
day. An exciting chase took plane In tho
main street, during which bullets filled
the air, revolvers wero fired at Kred
Brueckner and Paul Brueckner, two
brothers, and on- of the bullets entered
tho leg of Paul Brueckner. Just before
the two Brueckners took flight there had
been a fierce fight on the sidewalk, dur
ing which both had been terribly, perhaps
fatally, beaten with clubs by tho mar
shal and several merchants.
Fred Brueckner was finally subdued by
Marshal Danna with a blow that felled
the man and left him unconscious on the
ground. Paul, though wounded about the
head and shot In the leg, climbed Into his
buggy for a dash for freedom and prob.
ably would have gotten away but for the
fact that his team turned too quickly
and upset the vehicle, throwing him to
the ground. Both men were then lodged
In the Jail.
Trouble has been brewing for a long
time. The feud had been frequently dls
cussed at the town board meeting.
Officer Win Prepared.
Marshal Danna waa employed because
the board considered him big enough to
put out the Brueckners If occasion arose.
The marshal beforo him had'' resigned
when he was mobbed and his gun and
Btar taken from him.
Several business men of the town had
been carrying guns for some time In an
ticipation of an emergency, and only on
Thursday of this week Marshal Danna
had made six heavy police clubs from" the
ends of billiard cues and had distributed
the weapons among the men of the town.
An old-fanhloned vigilance committee
was to have been organised last night,
with the avowed object of maintaining
order.
Town authorities say that the Brueck
ners have defied the local authorities for
months and had Intimated that they could
not be put In Jail.
Friends of the wounded men gathered
from their farms and a raid on the Jail
was feared. The friends are In an ugly
mood and declare the end Is not yet.
During the reign of terror existing for
the last year business houses have fre
quently closed when the Brueckners came
to town and created disturbances.

"WEENIE ROAST" VICTUALS
MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR
The freshman class of the University
of Omaha planned a "weenie roast" Frl
day afternoon at Florence. Things did
not run along as smoothly as the plans
called for, for as soon as the sophomore
class becomd aware of the freshman
function things began to happen. First,
Stanley High, president of ths freshman
class, mysteriously disappeared; then In a
short while all the eatables which the
freshmen had gathered also had been
swallowed up by unseen agencies, but
finally It all leaked out and farther along
on the campus small groups of sopho
mores could be seen busily engaged In
davourlng the freshman supplies.
Not to let such a small matter as this
stop them, the freshmen reorganised
their class and with their president at
the head started towards Florence, but
Without th(-tr original supplies. Tho latest
news is to the effect tnat tne freshmen
had a moht enjoyable time at Florence
and have made secret plans In which to
get even with the sophomores. The ob
ject of the freshman "weenie roast" was
to get the class more closely organized
and acquainted.

which ho long has said ho, wanted to
make puhjjc, ever Is given out, It will
be after the verdict of the high court
of Impeachment Is In and his attorneys

The manuscript of the story waa lo
cated today In the office safe of D.

had It. Whou this Is over the Judge
said ho would return the manuscript to
tho governor. Then Herrlck will have
withdrawn from Hulser'a employ and
responsibility for tho publication of the
"revelations" will not rest with him.
"After I am through with this oase
the governor may do as ho sees fit with
the manuscript," Mr. Herrlck said.
The careful manner In which the gov
ernor's counsel have guarded the docu
ment since It was written, almost three
weeks ago, has caused much speculation
regarding Its contents. That the attor
neys consider the publication of It be
fore, tho verdict has been reached would
be detrimental to their case Is admitted.
In order tlmt the governor, who has not
always regarded their orders In reepect
to reinatntrig silent, could not release this
statement they carried It away from the
executive mansion. v .
A rumor that the govomor was ready
to make puhllo his story today caused

Burglars Return
Loot to Victim "
By. Parcel Post
Whether tho burglars that forced
entrance to the O, L. Welmer hardware
store .on Farnam street, near Twenty
fifth, a weok ago became conscience
stricken or whether they feared detection
and returned their loot by parcel post Is
a problem that Is facing the police.
Mr. Welmer'a store was broken Into
and nearly i&O worth of knives, tools and
cheap watchea taken. Tho police had
been keeping a strict watch of all pawn
shops In the hope of recovering tho stuff,
but their efforts were fruitless. Late yes
terday afternoon Mr, Welmer received a
parcel post package containing nearly all
of tho stolen property. The package bore
no return address or other sign to Identify
the senders.
NEBRASKA HEN IS GREAT
PRODUCER OF WEALTH
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. 12.-(Bpeclal.)-In 1912
there were shipped from points In Ne
braska 7,62M22 dozen eggs. Owing to
the high price of meat the consumption
of egs on farms was undoubtedly much
greater than In 19)1, when 60,189,600 dozen
eggs were shipped, The fancy price to
be realized from the sale of live and
dressed poultry In 1912 no doubt had Its
effect upon the egg production, as In that
year the shipment of this commodity
reached the enormous toUJ of tO.HS.ZSO
pounds, as against a total shipment In
1911 of a,W.M pounds. In 1911 there wen
shipped from Nebraska stations a total

LONDON. Oct. 11-Not since the Tltanlo
sank has Europe been so thrilled us py a
wireless message today telling of tho
burning of the steamship Volturno In
mld-Atluntlc, with a loss, so far as Is at
present known, of 135 Uvea and the rescue
of fCl. The survivors are now aboard a
fleet of rescuers summoned by the Vql
turno's call for help, some of which are
bound eastward and others westward.
The Volturno sailed from Rotterdsm
on October 2 for New York. According
to the official statement It carried twenty
two first cabin passengers, -US steerage
and a orew numbering ninety-six.
The rescue ships reached the scene Of
the disaster in plenty of time to save ollf
but for hours stood by tha biasing vessel.
Impotent, because of the storm, to
tho ngonltrd men, women and children
crowding the after part ot the ship and

The Volturno was owned by the Cana
dian Northern Steamship company, but
had been chartered to the Uranium line.

All night Thursday the lifeboats made a
desperate effort to get alongside the Vol
turno, but the waves heat them back
again and again, and not until the storm,
abated at daylight Friday did the rescuers
siiocoed In, removing the survivor .r-jnj
the doomed ship. Only, the' frlng ot one

agents any, for l.OpO people, but the bois
terous sea or lack of boat drill, or panlq
among the passengers, prevented the suc
cessful employment of them. The rescue
shlpe were able to lower lifeboats, but
apparently most of tha ' boats launched,
from the Volturno were smashed or upset
and tho occupants drowned. Two of (tin
boats, crowded with passengers, are' re
ported to have got away from the ship,
but a search for them has proved fruit
less, and they have practically been given
up as lost. The occupants ot these- boats

Tho steamer Carmanla, bound from
Now York for Liverpool, was seventy

sounded. Captain Bell, ordering full
