MEXIC TROUBLES
INCREASED BY
HUERTA'S COUP
DECLARES HIMSELF DICTATOR
Washington is Alarmed At
Situation

Mexico City, Oct. 11.-Provisional
President Huerta's coup last night
whereby he rid himself in a spectacu-
lar manner of the legislative bodies
of the government and constituted
temself dictator of the Mexican repub-
lie, has left the city today in state
of tense expectancy.
The dissolution of the national cou-
gress was not wholly unexpected in
political circles, but the manner of its
accomplishment served to demon
strate the lengths to which the execu-
tive was prepared to go to maintain
his grasp upon the administrative af
fairs of the nation.
The capital was alive with rumors
this morning, one of them being to
the effect that three deputies arrested
last night who were most active i'll
precipitating the clash with General
Huerta had disappeared This report
was not given much credence. Presi-
dent Huerta before the arrests were
made had given his word that none of
the deputies would be harmed.
Senator Dominguez, whose attack
on the provisional president in the
senate was the starting point of the
row, has not come to light
He is said to have prepared for
eventualities in advance. Having de-
termined upon his line of conduct he
made his will and bade his family and
friends good bye, declaring that he ex-
pected to pay for his effort with his
life. By many the senator is believ-
ed to have fed the country.
The dissolution of the national con-
gress was based u&on the alleged US
urpation by the deputies and senator )
of the prerogative of the chief execu-
tive in the matter of Senator Domin-
guez.

HOSPITAL Will
BE BUILT upon
THE SOUTHSIDE
ASSERTION MADE POSITIVELY
Ladies Have the Choice of
Two Sites

The interesting situation regarding
the location of the proposed new hos
pital building remained unchanged
yesterday, and the ladies of the Hos
pital association still announce their
determination to erect the building
upon the lot given them by DR.. W. s.
Prather, the site being one block to
the west of Lee street, near Dodson.
While some of the residents in that
locality have raised objection to the
hospital being built near their proo-
erty, no definite action looking to le-
gal proceedings to stop it, have been
taken.
1t was said yesterday that DR.. Pra-
ther had generously rendered the as
sociation another building site, in the
same immediate neighborhood; the va
cant lot fronting on Lee street, and sit
uated between two dwelling houses
owned by DR.. Prather. This lot is a
very desirable and valuable one
Fronting 100 feet on Lee street, it is
practically two residence lots in one,
and would prove an excellent site for
the hospital should the ladies chose
to make the exchange upon the terms
offered. That it will be built some
where in that locality-probably upon
the site now under consideration
seems certain.
The association was recently offe"-
ed gratis, by Mr.. Crawford Wheatley
large lot in East Americus, but pra-
ferred a location upon the southside,
nearer the residence section of the
city.
