PRESIDENT HUERTA HAS TROOPS
ARREST DEPUTIES WHO 4
DEFY HIM.
ONE SENATOR Us MISSING

tive and Colleagues Demand Ma
tlon's Chief Explain HE Absence
Drastic Action Follows.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 13.-Presi-
dent Huerta had ITO members of the
chamber Of deputies arrested on FRI
lay and locked In the penitentiary for
signing resolutions of warning to him
as the result of the disappearance on
Thursday night of DR.. Belisaro Do
minguez, senator for Chiapas.
F1ve other deputies who signed the
resolution were absent when a Gordon
Of troops was thrown about the legis-
lative building and several hundred
soldiers invaded the chamber.
In anticipation Of trouble heavy pa
trolls of troops are on the streets.
The rapid fire guns which were
posted in the interior courts of the
palace in February are again in place
and quantities of ammunition are at
hand.
The arrests followed a demand by
President Huerta that the chamber
withdraw the resolution, which car
ried threat that the deputies would
abandon the capitol owing to an al
legged lack Of guarantees for their
personal safety.
Senator Dominguez made a speech
in the senate early in the month vio-
lently attacking Huerta, saying that
not only had nothing been done dur
ing Huerta's regime toward pacifica-
ton Of the country, but that the pres
ent situation in the republic was in
flnitely worse than before. He said
the currency OF Mexico had depre-
ciated, fields had been neglected,
towns razed, and that famine threat
ened. He added that the situation
was proof that the Mexican people
could not resign themselves to be gov
erned by Huerta-
The senator who thus attacked
Huerta disappeared mysteriously at
night.
Before the hour for the regular open
ing of the session of the chamber at
four o'clock In the afternoon the base
ment and roof Of the building had
been packed with troops Scores of
police were scattered through the gal
| lery.
When the deputies were In their
places the minister of the interior,
Manuel Cara Aldape. entered the
chamber. simultaneously several hun.
dred federal troops lined up in front
Of the building.
Senior Aldape assembled the platform

Dominguez.
The reply said that President Huer
ia could do no less than consider the
resolution an act Of unjustified ag
gression and transgression of the
rights Of the two other powers-the
executive and the courts.
When the arrests were made a few

Meanwhile similar demands to re

the senate who had concurred In the

willingness to comply with his de

withdrew this action.

And you expect the stars to tell us
something about my lost topazes?"
They seem to have had some infiu-

owner" said Kent, with his half smile.

servitor, clad throughout in black, ap-
peared from nowhere, provided chairs,
set pitcher Of water beside them,
and vanished silently. A faint. heavy,
but not unpleasant odor as of incense,
lowered in the air. The moon waxed
slowly in brightness, illumining the
two figures.
Very well fixed up" whispered
Kent to his companion. The astrol-
oyer is now looking us over"
In fact, at that moment, a contem-
plating and estimating eye was fixed
upon them from dead" star in the
farther wall. The eye beheld a girl
whose delicate but vivid loneliness
was undimmed by the grisly trappings
of mourning which Christian civiliza-
ton has borrowed from barbarism to
belle its own Christianity withal, rest
ed a moment, and passed, with more
of scrutiny, to her companion.
Preston Jax did not, as a rule, re-
ceive more than one client at a time.
Police witnesses travel in pairs, and
the Star-master was of a suspicious
nature. Only an extraordinary fee,
and the cultured languor OF the voice
which requested the appointment over
the telephone, had induced him to re-
lax his rule. Now, however, his I'M
easiness was appeased. He beheld a

noisseurship of the Star-master could
hardly approve: the monocle displayed
in his visitors left eye, though it was
reassuring to his professional judg-
ment. The visitor was obviously
light"
Quitting his peep-hole, the Star
master pressed button. Strains of
music, soft and sourceless, filed the
air from a monograph muffled in
rugs). The moon glow paled little.
There was soft rustic and fiuctuation
of wall draperies in the apartment.
The light waxed. The Star-master
stood before his visitors.
They beheld man of undistin-
guished size and form, eked out by a
splendid pomposity of manner. To
this his garb contributed. All the
signs of the zodiac had lent mag
nificence to the long, black, loose robe
with gaping sleeves, which he wore.
Mrs. Blair noted with vague interest
that it was all hand embroidered.
Pale and hard the face rose from
this somber and gorgeous appareling.
1t was a remarkable face, small, calm,
and compacted of muscles. Muscles
pumped out the broad cheeks; mus
cles curved about the jaws; muscles
worked delicately along the club of a
nose. The chin was just one line,
twitching muscle. Even the faint
screwed lines at the eye-corners sug-
sested muscle. And withal, there
lurked in the countenance a sugges-
ton of righteousness. The man
looked like a bland and formidable
baby. He looked even more like a
puma.
With rhythmical motion of arms
and hands, he came forward, per-
formed spreading bow of welcome,
and drew back, putting his hand to his
brow, as if in concentration of thought.
Marjorie Blair felt an unholy desire to
laugh. She glanced at Professor Kent,
and, to her surprise, found him ex-
hibiting every evidence of discom-
posture. He fidgeted, famed himself
with his hat, mopped his brow and
palpably fiinched under the solemn
regard of the mage.
Stupid of me-" he muttered, in
apology. Gets on ones nerves, you
know. Awesome, and all that sort of
thing, fussing with the stars"
Preston Jax bestowed a patronizing
smile upon his visitor. Protective.
ness, benign and assured, radiated
from him.
Fear nothing" said he. 1.-THE star

Of SPECIAL INTEREST TO THE
LADIES

1t is safe to say that the ladies of
Ocala will flock to the millinery par
Tors of Mrs. Minnie Bostick this morn
ing, when she will have her annual
spring millinery opening. Mrs. Bos-
tick says she has selected the hand
soonest and largest variety of hats
ever shown in the city. The headgear
for the ladies this season is unusually
small but neat, and indescribably
beautiful Mrs Bostick extends a cor
dial invitation to everyone to call and
inspect these lovely hats, whether
they intend to buy or not; they are so
pretty that she delights in showing
and handling them. The opening be-
gins this morning at nine o'clock and
you will miss a treat if you do not
attend.
