NM dent Taft today sent to CON
Wv gress his much discussed
budget message. He rec
commended the adoption OF 4 budget
system OF relating proposed expendi-
turcs to expected revenues. and de-
clared that congress would be greatly
benefited by having before it such a
statement before it began the annual

Sent Into Death Traps.

Huerta. in compliance with carefully
considered plans. never sent regular
troops against Diaz, but ordered into
the thickest of the fray the irregular
forces. whose loyalty to Madero was
unquestioned.
This way Huerta was able TO play
the war game successfullv-and at the
same time to conveniently dispose OF
the only troops upon whom Madero
could depend
They were rushed into impossible
charges that Diaz might kill them and
thus weaken Madero.
These statements of this revolution
airy leader are borne out by the hos.
pital statistics which show that pro-
portionately fourteen volunteers and ru-
rales were killed during the fighting TO
every ono federal soldier killed
This conspiracy was Matched by
Huerta and Diaz last year when Huerts
was in command of campaign against
Orozco. However. Huerta kept delay
ing the final coup and the younger cle-
ment of his officers forced tho issue

the letter Of Chief Grant to the city
commission, recommending Captain

opportunity to resign as an alternative

action,
Both Mayor Samuel G, Park and

asked about Captain HemPel's dismis-
sal. While both admitted that the ac-
