down the executive offices driven to

and the del eat of Gen. Mer?ado at

to take the field in person and his as-
sociates are exerting every effort to

Mercado is now iuer sentence to

lic expressed regret that be could not
send him to his dentil at once. j
"If I could only get him here he
would be killed on sight" cried Hu-
erta. "He sold me out! He sold me

Huerta is determined to go to Chi-
huahua at the head of a force of fed

of Gen. Villa. His advisers have told
him that bis departure from the cap-
ital would indicate compliance with
the wishes of President Wilson that

tain that view declaring that his tak-

Huerta's expressed intention of tak-

ENOUGH SALT IN
OKLAHOMA TO
SUPPLY WORLD
Telegram by Unite' Praaa.
Norman Okla. Jan. 1!). Oklahoma
has enough salt to supply the entire
world for thousands of years. If tht
water of the salt springs were evapo
rated daily the amount of salt tints ob-
tained would amout to 4O00()0 gallons
of pure salt. In a year this daily pro-
duction would load a train IS miles
long. But' this would be only a part
of the salt resources of Oklahoma. Iu
some places ah ig the Cimarron river
for instance farmers actually shovel
the salt into a wagon and haul it to
market In fact Oklahoma rests oa
an enormous bel of salt of great thick
ness. In prehistoric times this sec-
tion was an inland sea which had no
cutlet or inlet. The seat in the course
of ages evaporated leaving a thick lay-
er of salt. Then anflther sea was
formed evaporated and again a thick
layer of salt was formed. There fol
lowed some great inundation that le't
the sediment that forms the surface.
Salt thus can be obtained by springs or
by mining. The plain In the alfalfa
country is sixty miles square. It is as
level as a floor and mostly sand. One
gallon of its water produces a quart of
salt.
The Cimarron valley has two salt
plains. The largest is eighty niiled
long and two mile wide. When tht.
weather is dry evaporation is rapu
and salt forms thickly on the surface
of the earth. This salt surface mazes
a beautiful sight during the moonlight
night scintillating like a million stars.
It is when the salt forms in such quan-
tities during dry spells that farmers
haul it away by wagon loads at to ex-
pense and li t a e trouble.

ACTION ON
PROTEST IS
POSTPONED
Saturday afternoon before Judge F
SI. liailey the naturalization case of
lohn Wakefield an Knglish subject
vas heard wherein Koy Hlnes had j
!led a piotest against the issuance of
iat 11t-uliv.atu.11 papers fclso a contest
igiiinst Wakefield't. homestead near
dinco the result of the hearing being
lassed fur 10 days until a copy of
lie appplicaiu's declaration of iuten-
ion can be procured from a court jn
Alissourl.
A year ago John Wakefield filed ap-
plication for naturalization here but
he court could 110 proceed because
lis declaration of intention filed in
disi.ourl cuuld not be found. The
'opy that had been given to Wakefield
lad been given to the land office when
le had filed on his farm. Numerous
etters were written to Missouri in or-
ler to obtain a copy of the declaration
f intention but 110 answer was re-
ceived. The time for making final proof of
his homestead drew periliously near
ind the naturalization paperB could
not be jssued and unless issuance of
hem was made he could not make
iroof on his claim. The court here
00k the matter up with the drpart-
nent and secured an extension of the
ime in which he had to prove up in
irder to allow the naturalization pi
pers to be issued.
Wakefield was Industrious and had
rected about $:.mm worth of improve
ments on the farm. Pending his nat-
uralization Koy Hines filed suit con-
testing the naturalization on the
grounds that his character was such
that he would not make a desirable
citizen of the J'nited States. Also he
filed contest on Wakefield's home-
stead. Both sides produced several wit
nesses and the trial lasted all the aft
ernoon. A copy of the declaration of
intention had been procured from the
land office and Judge Bailey is now
waiting u.Uil a copy of the original
can be procured from Missouri.

PRESIDENT
WJson Denies Reports that Business
Has Suffered as Result of
Operation of the
Tariff Law
HAS EXPRESSED NO
OPINION ON RATES
Administration to Aid "Big Busi-
ness" in Observinj Law Presi-
dential Primary Law Coming
Message Tomorrow
Telegram by Vnited Presa.
Washington ..Ian. 19. The president
today declared unfounded the reports
that business generally had suffered
through the operation of the new tariff
law. He told callers that the contrary
was the case and insisted that smaller
business interests had greatly increas-
ed In trade since the tariff became
effective.
The president admitted certain in-
dustries which are dependent on the
railroads for equipment orders had
suffered somewhat but he believed
that their business would Increase
soon.
The president denied that he told
anyone that he favored permitting the
railroads to Increase rates. He said
he did not want to embarrass the In-
terstate commerce commission which
is now Investigating the proposed in
crease by expressing an opinion on
the subject.
Wilson explained that the adminis-
tration planned' to facilitate the pro-
cesses of accommodation in reconcil
ing "big business" to the antitrust
aws rather than by processes of le
gal action.
He admitted that In most of the ad
justment to date there had bean tacit
violation of the law but more of spirit
than of the letter. The attorney gen
eral will not attempt to abate laws
but will give corporations time to
change their methods.

Washington Jan. lit. The presi
dent's presidential primary plan will
be presented in the house in the form
ot a definite bill. Chairman Rucker
said today that the elections committee
would begin consideration of the bill
tomorrow bet he did not believe It
would be presented at the present ses-
sion.' He thinks the suffrage question
might be involved.
President Wilson's message on trust
reform which he will read to con-
gress Tuesday had received the fin
ishing touches Sunday.
The message will be the opening ut
terance by the administration on the
scope of legislation it believes should
be enacted promptly not only to cor-
rect those evils In modern business
generally deprecated by public opin-
ion but to construct a system of gov-
ernment assistance that will stimu
late business enterprises and develop
ment. The president in pointing the
way to legislation on specific phases
of the trust question Intends to em
phasize the necessity for a friendly
spirit in approaching the task. He
wishes business men to be assured of
the administration's intention to wel-
come such suggestions and common
counsel and to afford those affected
ample time to adjust themselves to
new laws or conditions. The presi-
dent opposed hearings on the tariff
and currency measures aa he believed
congress and the country had made up
its mind on the details and that hear-
ings meant unnecessary delay but
free criticism and expression of opin-.
ion on the trust program by all con-
cerned is desired by Mr. Wilson as
he thinks public hearings will facili
tate the passage of the bill.
