NO CLUE TO IDENTITY OF
LARGE STEEL FREiGHTER

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 11.--No
clue had been obtained this forenoon
to the identity of the 500 foot steel
freighter which overturned with The
probable loss Of from 25 to 40 lives
during the terrific storm which swept
Lake Huron yesterday. The fact that
the huge vessel is lying bottom up
eight miles out in the lake has con-
WINGED local mariners that the ships
crew had practically no chance to
escape.
When the tug sarina City returned
this forenoon after an aII-night watch
over the big freighter she brought no
additional information as to its Iden-
tity. The name of the sderelict re-
mains far beneath the water and the
waves are sill rolling high.
Captain Reid of the tug believes all
of the thirty or forty members Of the
crew Of the 900 foot freighter are
drowned. The wreck not having
been reported until late yesterday It
was difficult to ascertain when the
disaster occurred and where it took
place. The overturned vessel prob
ably drifted several miles.
Captain Plough, in charge OF the
local life-saving station. left this
morning with his crew for the wreck
scene.
Searching parties were also organ
lied to patrol the shore in search OF
wreckage.
Reports indicate that a shifting of
cargo may have been the cause Of the
wreck.
Captain Reid thinks another vessel
may be on the bottom of Lake Huron
near where the overturned steamer
was first discovered He can only ac-
count for the steamers turning turtle
by a shifting Of her cargo or because
of collision
: As if purpose1y protected to mark
the grave Of a score or more sailors
the bow Of the steamer sticks out OF
the water Hike a huge black shaft. Il
is pointed toward the north and east
which would indicate the helpless
condition OF the crew toward the last
and that the vessel had swung around

and hunger. Train schedules were
restored to something near normal
and wires along the railroads were
again in commission. The hope was
held out that if the elements did not
interfere during the day, conditions
in this entire section would be normal
tonight
Some fear was expressed that q
sudden thaw would transform the vast
amount Of snow into water, and foods
in the Ohio Monongahela and Alle-
gheny river valleys would follow.
However the local weather forecaster
anticipated nothing but continued low
temperatures for the next twenty
four hours.

PLOT IN MEXICO WIPED IN THE BUD Military Authorities Arrest 'Rurales and Disarm Them
 at Peralville.
H R RIBLE CRIMES
Against Women and Girls and Torture Of Old People in State 0f
 OZumIla.

Mexico City, Feb. 26.--The military authorities have discovered a plot in- volving the fifth and sixth corps of rurales, with headquarters at Peral- villo. Many important documents, which had been sent by General San- chez AzZona from Puebla, were found together with several drafts on banks. Many arrests were made and the ru- rales have been disarmed.
 Gabriel Hernandez, chief of corps of rurales which has been operating in the vicinity of Mexico City, was ar rested during the day, but the nature of the charge against him has not been disclosed.
 General Angeles, who has been ar rested and dismissed several times within the past two weeks, was again placed in custody today and will be prosecuted for his part in the eXecu- tion of Col. Pragillo and several others.
 In an interview today, Senor De La Barra, said: "We have received a tel egram from Pasqual Orazco, gratify- ing the recognition of the Huerta government and stating that there would be no further difficulty with the rebels at Sonora. The Huerta government is pursuing a most viz orous campaign against the Zapatistas who yesterday massacred 40 persons inflicted diabolical outrages on women and girls -and~tortured old persons ill Ozumba. AS soon as the news of the outrage was received the government dispatched a company of artillery and three battalions of infantry to the scenes.
 When quiet is restored at Ozumba the military forces will proceed te Ameca and Juzhitepec, where the Zapatistas have recently burned sev. eral towns and outraged women.
 Serious mutiny or uprisings arc feared in the State of Hidalgo against the governor, Migual Laref. The dis, trict of Jacala and Macalongo are re- ported in open revolution and have thus far refused to recognize the new Huerta government.

 "Aand to insure the independence of the administration of the sinking fund law in the future it is also re- commended that the chairman of the Finance Committee of the Senate, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Represen- tatives, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of the Treasury be made ex- officio a sinking fund commission, and that the comptroller shall be re- quired each year to audit the state and the sinking fund account to the president and the Congress.
 The Summary.
 The President, summarizing his re- commendation on expenditions for public buildings and similar impr6ve- ments, said:
 Briefly stated, my suggestion is i that the Government first plan for it's land purchases, buildings, and public works, then borrow money to acquire and to construct them, proportioning the cost over period of 20 years and making the bonds issued to meet the cost payable out of an adequate sink ing fund.
 "Following these suggestions, not only question the desirability of continuing to appropriate for new projects without a definite plan and before definite provision is made for financing them either by increased revenues or bond issues, but, further, that without plan there is neces- sarily large element of waste" The Presidents recommendation as to the manner of effecting more ef- | ficient administration of the govern ment's finances, was to establish a l bureau of central administrative con- trol, with controller at the head who would be responsible to the President and to Congress. Concretely the pro- posal is to consolidate the six audi 1 tors offices as we'll as the office of the Comptroller of the Treasury and the other central accounting offices of the Government in one executive bureau and thereby without increas- ing cost to provide for a central ac- counting, auditing and reporting or ganization which would include among it's activities the preparation ol budget supported by book of esti- mates and consolidation of finalcial { reports for the Government. This agency would also serve in the capa- 1 city of an independent agency for the preparation of special reports when requested either by the Congress or by the President"

the senate for legal opinion, holding that the legislators can remain in session but 60 days from January 13, the date of convening.
 Attorney General Moose states that the amendment is not really adopted until it is properly certified to the secretary of state by the general as- sembly, and proclamation published setting forth it's adoption by the governor. Yet, the constitutional amendment specifily stated the reg ular sessions shall be but 60 days in length, and the attorney general holds this is a regular session an dthe 60 days must start from the time of con- yening. and not from February II, when the legislature adopted the amendment. ',
 The legislature can extend the ses- sion by a two-thirds vote, but in this case there would be no pay for the legislators. If they are called back in extraordinary session, they may re- main for 15 days at half pay. There is little doubt but that there will be a special session called, for the ap- propriation and revenue matters could not be passed in the remaining il days if nothing else was consider ed.

 Whole Affair.
TROOPS REACH CAMP
Ire at Galveston Awaiting Instruc- iiOnS From President Wilson
 Transports Scarce.

Washington, Feb. 26-These were the developments in the Mexican sit uation today, so far as the United States government is concerned:
 First. The Secretary of War an nounced that the troops which had been ordered to Galveston are com pletely equipped and ready for in stant service. No adequate arrange ments, however, have been made for the transports which will be neces- sary to take them to the front in the event of an emergency demand for them
 Second The State Department re- fuses to take any action as a result third murder of a Madero since the beginning of the Mexican reign of ter- TOT.
 Third. Both the State Department and the War Department have ap- prised Presdent-elect Wilson of what has been done, and both have practi- cally determined to wash their hands" of the matter and pass the re- sponsibilty along to the Wilson ad- ministration.
 Fourth The recognition of the Huerta government has been left to the incoming administration together
 with the oth 1T problems arising from the present situation Meanwhile the Huerta regime is recognized as the existing government and will be treated as such..
 It was announced today that nearly all the ten thousand troops ordered to Galveston have arrived or will arrive tomorrow afternoon It is clearly un- derstood that they will be held there to await the direction of the incom- ing president.
 The contention of the Department that the lack of money prevents se- curing of transports is disputed by many authorities in the capital who assert that in the event of possible war the department is authorized to spend all the money it needs. What prevents this action in the opinion of the commentors is the fear on the part of the secretary of war that he may incur the disapproval of the in- coming administration and that inas- much as MT. Wilson will be responsi- ble the present administration is mo- rally bound to inactivity.
