HUERTA LASTED
ONLY ONE YEAR
AFTER WARNING
His Flight Follows Twelve Months
of What May Be Called
Tottering
FALL CERTAIN FROM FIRST
In tha Absence of Recognition by the
United 8tateo It Was Recognized
That the Dictator Would Be
Unable to Retain Power
Washington — Just oae year baa
elapsed since President WllBon an-
nounced that his Mexican policy then
consisted of the edict that “Huerta
must go’ and assured the American
public that the Mexican president was
"tottering” and soon would fall 1
For the first four months of Presi-
dent Wilson’s administration he was
absolutely silent regarding the Mexi-
can situation though it gradually be-
came known that he did not Intend
to grant official recognition to the Hu-
erta government Late In June 1913
representatives of a number of Euro-
pean powers drew up a letter of pro-
test In which It was declared that
the United States had largely contrib-
uted to the anarchical conditions in
Mexico and that It ought either to rec-
ognize the Huerta government and dis-
courage the revolution or assume re-
sponsibility for the pacification of
Mexico This Joint document reached
the hands of President Wilson and re-
sulted In action by him'
Lind Bent to Mexico
Henry Lane Wilson hold-over am-
bassador to Mexico was recalled and
after a scant hearing at the White
House was asked to resign John
Lind former colleague of Secretary
Bryan in the house of representatives
and former governor of Minnesota
was designated the president’s confi-
dential agent and sent to Mexico In
an endeavor to get Huerta’s sanction
to a plan for his elimination
Mr Lind presented four proposals to
President Huerta through his minis-
ter of foreign affairs the Mexican
president declining to receive the
American emissary because he had no
credentials These proposals or rath-
er demands were for:
The resignation of Huerta
The establishment of a provisional
government pending the holdings of
elections
The elimination of Hufta as a can-
didate for the presidency by election
The conclusion of an armistice be-
tween the contending forces
U 8 Backs Down
In the correspondence that ensued
the United States receded from Its
proposals one by one until there re-
mained only the demand that Huerta
be not a candidate In the elections due
to be held In the fall It was general-
ly conceded that In the Lind corre-
spondence Huerta's foreign minister
Frederlco Gamboa had decidedly the
best of It and the administration was
finally left to content Itself with Gam-
boa’s statement that certainly Huerta
could not be a candidate to succeed
himself because of a constitutional
prohibition to that effect as the net re-
sult of the Lind discussions
President Wilson addressed con-
gress on the subject immediately upon
the failure of the Lind mission urging
a policy of patience while Lind went
to Vera Crus where he remained al-
most continuously playing the role of
reporter to the president until April
last
Soon thereafter William Bayard
Hale the presidents campaign biog-
rapher who had also been serving in
Mexico City as an unofficial observer
for the president was assigned on an-
other secret mission and went to the
Mexican border to ascertain the pur-
pose and character of the Constitu-
tionalists U 8 Backs the Rebels
His reports combined with other In-
formation possessed by the president
are considered to have been chiefly re-
sponsible for the president's decision
to back the Constitutionalists just as
far as possible This policy of sup-
port for the revolutionists was never
officially announced but became In-
creasingly evident
Meantime Huerta had found so It
was officially asserted In Mexico City
that the congress consisting largely
of Maderlstas was conspiring against
him and defeating hlB governmental
projects He accordingly In October
arested a large number of the deputies
and put them in prison where many
of them remained for considerable pe
riods He declared himself a virtual
dictator pending he said the elec-
tions at which a new congress was to
be chosen and candidates for president
voted upon ’
Two Prophets
Apropos of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
light-hearted prophecy that the Eng-
lish would yet rise up and lynch their
militant suffragists Mrs Inez Mllhol-
land Bolssevaln said In New York:
fSlr Arthur is one of the minor nov-
elists and still more be Is one of the
minor prophets Give women the vote
Instead of lynching her — that la the
better way to put an end to militancy
“And Englishmen of Sir Arthur’s
chuckle-beaded type say exaaperatQig
ah in iue that about the militants
This action by Huetta brought at
angry response from President Wilson
who notified him that the United
States would not consider giving any
recognition to the results of elections
following such an usurpation of power
European and South American gov-
ernments were given to understand
that they might expect drastic action
by the United States In Mexico If
Huerta did not retire But Huerta did
not retire and thg United States took
ho action
Huerta 8taya on Job
Though barred from being a candi-
date it was announced that Huerta
had received the greatest number of
votes in the elections held In Novem-
ber which were admittedly farcical
Felix Diaz was also a candidate but
fearful of Huerta did not venture
further Into Mexico than the port of
Vera Cruz
The elections for president were de-
clared null and void because not a
sufficient number of districts had par-
ticipated in the voting and as a re-
sult of the farce Huerta remained In
power as provisional president
In December In addressing congress
President Wilson announced that Huer-
ta the usurper was near his collapse
and expressed the opinion that It
would not be necessary to alter the
policy of watchful waiting
Meanwhile Francisco Villa former
bandit achieved new fame by captur-
ing Juarez In December thus begin-
ning a series of brilliant victories
which gave the revolution its mo-
mentum which has swept Huerta out
of power
U 8-Mexlcan Crisis
In early April came the Incident
which precipitated the present phase
of the situation' the arrest of an offi-
cer and boat crew of the'Dolphln by
Mexican Federals at Tampico then
besieged by the rebels After a week
of quibbling over Admiral Mayo’s de-
mand for a salute to the American
flag at Tampico while the Atlantic
fleet was en route to Mexican waters
the approach of the German steamer
Yplranga laden with huge quantities of
arms and ammunition for Huerta im-
pelled the president to direct Rear
Admiral Fletcher to seize Vera Cruz
During a few anxious days when
anti-American rioting was In progress
In Mexico City It was feared that
Huerta would adopt a policy of war
toward the United States x He ao-
oepted however as promptly as Wash-
ington the offer of the A B C rep-
resentatives for mediation and in
those conferences offered to resign
whenever the pacification of the coqp-
try was guaranteed ThiB proposition
the United States could not meet
'Huerta’s Danger Grows
After arranging for the quashing of
the quarrel resulting from the Tampi-
co Incident the mediators endeavored
to arrange with Constitutionalists for
a conference on Mexican affairs to
which the Huerta representatives were
agreeable
With the Constitutionalists rapidly
advancing southward taking the prin-
cipal cities and the United States
holding the principal port and source
of revenue Huerta's position rapidly
became desperate
Yet during the first week in July
he went through the farce of holding
elections which were declared null
because of the small number voting
Finally on July 11 he appointed
Chief Justice Carbajal minister of for-
eign relations and it was then under-
stood that it was preparatory to his
resignation of the presidency so Car-
bajal might succeed him and make
terms with the Constitutionalists
NEW PRESIDENT NOT SOLDIER
Francisco Carbajal's Publle Career
Has Differed Materially From
That of Huerta
Mexico City — Francisco Carbajal
la 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 Madera 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 Porflrio Diaz deter-
mined in 1911 to treat with the Made-
ra revolutionists Senor Carbajal pro-
ceeded to Juarez as hla 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 Latln-Amerlcans 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
meant He Is a man of family
one minute and tbe next minute be-
seech them to bury the hatchet Well
they’ll bury if
- Mrs Bolssevaln smiled gayly
“They’ll bury It all right — In oil
paintings — and statuary — and maybe
a chucklehead or two"
Not Much 8ound
Jones — You should look more pleas-
ant since the doctor said you were
as sound as a dollar
Brown — Yea but there Isn’t much
sound to a paper dollar

Heavy Fine For Frisco
The Oklahoma corporation commis-
sion took drastic means last week of
enforcing its order requlrnig the rail-
roads to permit passengers to board
trains without being 'compelled to
show their tickets An order was Is
sued assessing a fine of $500 and
costs against the Frisco for requiring
passengers to show their tickets

commission by J C Smith of Okla-
homa City Smith alleged that on
April 15 last he attempted to board
a Frsico train at Warwick when the
brakeman demanded that he show
his ticket When he refused the
brakeman seized Smith and pulled
him off the steps and required him
to produce the pasteboard before
boarding the train
Most of the railroads have been
obeying the order relative to showing
tickets but the commission has had
several complaints that tbe Frisco
was dlsregardnlg It
Fighting Over West’s Amendments
Protests against the submission of
four of tbe five constitutional amend-
ments said to be backed by Attor-
ney General West which were filed
several days ago by Parker W Cress
of Perry and H M Sinclair of Okla-
homa City were overruled by Secre-
tary of State Ben F Harrison before
whom the protests were argued oBth
parties served notice Immediately of
appeal to the supreme court where all
of the various legal phases of the con-
sllllllllllillliiillllffi
Protests Against West’s Amendments
Protects against the submission of
two of the five constitutional amend-
ments said to be backed by Attorney
General Charles West and which it
is proposed tt have submitted at tbe
August primary' election were filed
in the eize of the legislature to one
house of eighty members and a sub-
ordinate body -of fifteen members to
be known as commissioners -The
amendment providing the
chaise In the' Judiciary It is alleged
in the protest Is In conflict with both
the bill of rlghts-and the federal con-
stitution and also In conflict with the
State constitution It further is al-
leged that many of the signers of the
petition are not qualified voters of the
state and that Attorney General West
by reason of tbe fact that he Is al-
leged to be supporting and advocating
the -adoption of the amendments Is
disqualified from preparing the ballot
titles a duty which Is Imposed upon
the attorney general by tbe constitu-
tion ’ '
The same allegations with reference
to the attorney general and the In-
sufficiency of legal r signatures are
made In the protest against the leg-
islative amendment The proposed
amendment it also Is charged is In
conflict with the enabling act and the
organic law of the state'
The judiciary amendment It is al-
leged ’Is id conflict with Article 1 of
Section 10 of the federal constitution
whlch'provldes that “No state shall
pass any bill of attainder ex post
facto law Or law impairing the obliga-
tion of contract or grant any title of
nobility” ’
The restriction mgde by the federal
constitution against the ’’paeeage of a
bill of attainder” amounts to a pro-
hibition against the submission of the
amendment the -protest alleges ‘be-
cause the provisions of said proposed
amendment to the constitution Inflict
punishment without judicial trial upon
the justices of the supreme court by
disqualifying them from office or from
the pursuits of a lawful avocation
when they are citizens of the United
States otherwise qualified tff hold

Common Law Marriage Valid
Common law marriages in Oklahoma
are held as valid and binding as any
other form of marriage agreement or
contract by Judge Phil D Brewer in
an opinion given in suprece court com-
mission division No 2 In reversing
the Judgment of the district court of
Blaine county In the case of Mrs Em-
ma Love vs W S Love the father of
her common law husband
Statutes which seek to provide reg-
ulations for the porformance of the
marriage ceremony Judge Brewer
holds are merely directory and when
such statutes do not expressly forbid
other forms of marriage a common
law marriage consummated in accord-
ance with the common law is valid
and binding 1
The common law husband of Mrs
Love died some time ago and upon his
death she was given letters of an ad-
ministrator of his estate The father
of the deceased filed a petition in the
county court of Blaine county asking
that the letters held by Mrs Love be
vacated on the ground that she was
his son’s common law wife and held
no title or Interest in his estate This
contention was overruled by the coun-
ty court and on appeal to the district
court Is was sustained
Dnrlng the proceedings In the lower
court it was admitted that the only
marriage’ ceremony claimed to have
been performed by virtue -of which
Mrs Love claimed to have been mar-
ried was performed In the presence of
witnesses in a hotel in Anadarko on
March 13 1910 No official record
was made of the marriage it was ad-
mitted '
Property rights involved In the case
were insignificant Judge Brewer
holds the principal issue was to give
a name to the daughter of Mrs Love
Dealing with this phase of the case
Judge Brewer says:

“1 was delighted with the change
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache My stomach has got-
ten strong and I can eat without suf-
fering afterwards I think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum
“My brother also suffered from
stomach trouble ’ while he drank cof-
fee but now since using Postum he
feels so much better he would not go
back to coffee for anything”
