Vlctoriano HuerU took oath aa pro
visional president of Mexico February
1. 19 IS, the day alter President Fran
cisco I. Madero, Jr.,. had been ar
rested at the national palace. ,
Three days later Madero and Jose
nana nno auares, vice-prebiueui,
vers 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 acta aa provi
sional president waa to telegraph Will
lam H. Taft, then president of the
United 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." ; ' .. c ....
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... 'VO a':-' '
Zapata, revolutionary leader to the
south of the capital, after negotiating
few days with the new regime, went
back to his guerrilla campaign.
Salaiar, one of the highest generals
In the army, denounced Huerta.
Carranza, constitutionalist leader In
Chihuahua, assailed Huerta in a bitter
statement made public- at Ban Anto-
Francisco Villa announced himself
an adherent of Madero and joined the
northern army.' ' 1 ' '
Pasqual Orozco of the clan of the
northern revolutionists was the lone
notable figure among the disaffected
who declared for the new government.
TAFT LEAVES PROBLEM, i.
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
da of the American president's in
auguration. . ' .' ' J
- Hampered at the outset of Ms ad
ministration by the refusal ' of the
tTnitMl States to recognize him, Huer
ta soon faced growing difficulties in J
raising funds to run his government.
His nneasy hold on affairs was weak
ened by minor constitutionalist vie-,
tories in the north and by recurring
rumors of I break with Felix Dias,
nephew of Porflrlo Dias and Huerta'B
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 & decree
to that effect was issued by Huerta
June 8. '
Felix 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'Shaugbnessy, 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
eed Jon Lind, former governor of
Minnesota, to Mexico as his personal
representative la an endeavor to ar
range a tr. .'3 for tie republic's peace.

and lent color to the persistent report
that Huerta really -desired '.' to ' be
elected and that his pretenses to the
contrary were a sham. ' '
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, , V,V . . .
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 It HuerU refused to ac
cede to the American demand for his
resignation, and Mr. Lind left Mexico
City for Vera Cruz. ?
Meantime the United . 8tates dis
patched warships to the Mexican coast
and Americans continued to leave
Mexico. " ' "V 1 ",!.'''' '
U. S, VEERS TO CARRANZA. v
' Definite proposals were made by
the United BUtes to Carranza and his
adherents.":-,,-;'; C- .'v '
Several of . the ' European powers,
notably Great" Britain, Germany and
France, gave-strong support to the
policy of the United SUtes.
' The constitutionalists grew stronger
and continued their advance to the
south. They captured Victoria, CM
huhua. Juarez and Tullacan.
The situation became . so critical
that Great Britain, Germany, France,
Spain and Japan ordered warships to
Mexican waters.
Fighting continued at Tamplco and
many other centers. Torreon soon
was taken by the constitutionalists. .
RAISES EMBARGO ON ARM8.V
. An embargo placed on the exporta
tion of arms from the United SUtes to
Mexico was raised early in February
of the present year. 1
A large number of American troops
were concentrated on the border, and
the American beet' in Mexican waters
was strengthened.1.
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
Tamplco, for which an apology and
salute were demanded by the United
States and refused by Huerta.
AMERICAN8 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 theAmericans held the port.
Shortly after a mediation proposal
from Argentina, Brazil and Chile, was
accepted. A conference ensued at Ni
agara Falls. V 'l .
In the interval American troops re
lieved the bluejackets at Vera Cruz.
These have since remained in occupa
tion of the port. v-''' ''-:-:
, Tamplco. and Zacatocas fell into the
constitutionalists' hands and the, vic
torious armies continued thelr; march
on Mexico City, where rumors were in
circulation for many weeks of the res
ignation of HuerU. ,
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. 8. TROOPS REMAIN IDLE.
' The' prospect of an early solution of
the Mexican problem gare both presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan
much Joy, naturally. American forces
will not be withdrawn from Vera Cruz
until a stable government has been es
Ublished in Mexico City and, recogni
tion has been accorded the 'new gov
ernment. V."''-"','C ' ;'; f ? ''iW '"'' ": !'
The feeling is general, however, that
If Carranza gives guarattees to politi
cal offenders, as well aa the people
generally recognition will be prompt
ly extended y. the United States and
other nations , of Central and South
America, as well as Europe. ? -

': Washington. Members of Congress
who are sundlnx valiantly by the Ad

ting they are weary of legislative du

districts have restated themselves to
the conclusion (hat there is lHtle hope

Both houses of congress already are
havlne trouble in rallying a quorum
for th transaction of business, ' but
the party whips are keeping constant
ly a work bringing members , wno

and they hope to expedite what busi

Some Senators and Representatives
are permitted to go home from time
to time to took after their political
fences, but it Is the aim of the Dem
ocratic leaders to keep a quorum pres
ent t 11 times from now on. - ,
Axain the xhief business of r the
senate will be to press the anti-trust
bills, with a hope of getting a real
start In the general debate on the Ju-.
terstate Trade Commission bill and to
complete the revision of the Clayton
bill and the Rayburn Securities meas
ure in committee so that they, may be
submitted to the senate. The Clayton
bill ready and Senator ; Newlands,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committee, hopes to nave tne securi

At least six weeks of discussion on
thee trust measures is contemplated
in .the Senate. .-..,
There still remains the probability
that the three bills will be consolida
ted into one. " If that is done the leg
islative task ,may not be prolonged.
One thing that promises to delay
the trust program is the difficulties
which have arisen over the nomina
tions of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago
and Paul M. Warburg of New .York
as members of the Federal Reserve
Board. The Senate seems still td be
deadlocked over the confirmation, of

judge W. M. Bond, in the superior
court ruled in favor of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway . Company- and
against the sUte and the North Cats
ollna Anti-Salon League In the noted
case of State vs. Seaboard Air Line,
Involving the right or railroad com
panies to refuse to submit their books
on deliveries of intoxicating . liquors
to inspection of cltiens generally on
demand as provided for in the sUte
sUtute providing., machinery for .the
enforcement of the prohibition law.
The seaboard has been Indicted for
refusal to allow Superintendent R. L.
Davis of the State Anti-Saloon League
to inspect the records of deliveries
at the freight depot of the. Seaboard
at Raleigh, counsel for the Seaboard
contending that to do so would violate
regulations for Interstate commerce
and that these bad precedence, over
any lUto .nUtuU.:v--..; :-
Judge Bond examined only one wit
ness, Superintendent Davis of the
Anti-Saloon. League and heard the
contention of the Seaboard counsel
that the company was ready at all
times to submit to any examination
by a duly- accredited officer of the
law as to any specific deliveries, but
that undeo the Interstate statutes, its
book could not be opened to citizens
generally for any and all sorts of ex
aminations. There was argument too
by former Governor Kitchln as coun
seld for the Anti-Saloon League in
which- It was insisted that deliveries
of whiskies' In the state are subject to
police regulation and that the Webb
Kenyon act specifically puts . these
matters under the: sUte regulation
and that, therefore, the state statute
authorizing such examination aft was
demanded by Superintendent Davis,
of the Anti-Saloon League was well
within the rights of the state and not
in conflict with the proper construc
tion of the IntersUte commerce act,
However, Judge Bond ruled with the
railroad, company; t V j,
I The sUte and the 'An.ti-Saloon
League gave notice of appeal and the
case now goes to 'the supreme court
of the state and .will most probably
go on up to the United States - su
