MUST LOSE NO TIME, AND 6LAN-
QUIET NO TO BE SUCCESSOR.
Washington's Ultlmatum Was OeIiV-
cred Late Sunday by Charge
'Shaughnessy.

City of MeXicc.-President Huerta
has been told he must resign the
presidency of Mexico without loss OF
time and that he must not leave as
his successor General Aureliauo Blan-
quet, his minister OF war, or any other
member OF his official family, or of the
unofficial coterie whom he might be
expected to control
This uItimatum from Washington
was conveyed 10 President Huerta
through his private secretary, Senior
Rabago, by Nelson ShauEhnessy, the
American charge d'affaires, acting I'M
der instructions from the state de
partment
Senior Rabago presented the memo
randum to his chief late Sunday, but
up 10 the present President Huerta
had returned no answer, and as far
as could be learned had guarded its
contents from almost all Of his OF
fetal and intimate cOunsellOrs.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regard General Huerta's po-
sition as one in which he will be
forced to give one OF two answers
refusal point blank to comply with
the demand, possibly going so far as
to hand the diplomatic representative
his passports, or the elimination of
himself officially. Those most init
mate with the president insist that
the latter course will not be taken
for many reasons, chief among which
is that such action would be tanta-
mount TO submission to the rebels.
Official Mexico is no longer in doubt
that the Washington administration
favors the rebel cause, and is con-
WINGED that this is the means adopt
ed by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
General Huerta summoned to the
National Palace Monday the diplo-
matte corps, but for what purpose was
not revealed Three of the minis
tiers, those of Germany, Norway and
Russia, were absent They have been

cluded, according to reports. the adj
vance of the rebels to attack Zaca-
tecas, but the government believes the
garrison there is sufficiently strong
to successfully resist an attack.
Queretaro, capital of the state of
the same name, on the main line of
the National Railway south OF San
Luis Potosi, is surrounded by rebels
and virtually in a state of siege.
North of San Luis Potosi a new meth
Cd has been adopted by the rebels to
prevent the operation of trains. Plac-
ards addressed to railroad employees
have been posted notifying them they
will be hanged if they attempt to run
the trains. AS a result the men are
refusing to take them out.

ket was quiet Monday. Large receipts
of plantation sugars accumulated over

grades were unchanged compared with
the close of Saturday. Receipts
amounted to 5,379 barrels of planta-
ton sugars and 1902 bags of raw

Hoover Murder Trial On.

Amite.-The trial of Ed and An
tome Hoover for the murder, in April,
1912, of A. c. Goodman, was taken
up Saturday. The regular venire was
exhausted before a jury could be Sc
cured. Bowman Neeland, already
tried and acquitted of the same
charge, told the same story on the
stand that he told on his own trial.
1t was to the effect that the trouble
grew out of an argument between the
dead man and Antoine Hoover and
that blows were exchanged, Hoover
using a bottle and Goodman a knife.
Witness said Ed Hoover came up with
a mallet and struck Goodman.

New Orleans Cotton Ends Lower.

New Orleans.-Cotton Monday was
at a decline, bears pressing steadily
against it and bulls offering little sup
port Gossip was to the effect that
the market was becoming overbought
again and that leading bull interests
were only too pleased to see some of
their followers Iiquidate. A feature
of the day was the tendency to higher
crop estimates. OF the several impor-
tant estimates that appeared all were
over 100000 bales and one was over
14,500,000. Considerable short selling
followed these guesses.

HUERTA IS TOLD HE MUST RESIGN PRODUCERS FAVOR MARKET PLAN
PURPOSE OF MEETING AT DALLAS
TO CREATE BUREAU PLAN.
Would Be An Addition TO the Depart
ment Of Agricuiture-Resotu-
tons Were Adopted.

/ Dallas, Textile question whether
! the present system of marketing truck
and food products is a ruinous one
and will in time produce universal
famine, was discussed Friday Ly
body of Texas producers. They met
at the call of Hatton W. Summers, con-
gresham at large, to consider adding
to the department OF agriculture a
marketing bureau.
/ The duty of this department is not
! TO be strictly outlined by the act which
will create it. but the idea is a cen
trail directing office in touch with all
sections OF America which would dl-
rect the movement OF truck crops.
This office would warn the farmer
not to invade a glutted market, have
inspectors out for the apprehension of
middle MN and retailers who will
/ fully withhold from the consumer a
product shipped TO them for distribu-
ton, and have railroads distribute the
products Of certain sections at the
time necessary for them to obtain
prices and supply the consumer.
There is pending in congress now a
tentative bill introduced by Mr. SUM
ners which embodies these cardinal
points. The meeting went on record
as heartily fayoring the bill and asking
their representatives TO support il.
Men of thirty years experience in
handling Texas crops declared in
speeches that failure of distribution
and wiliful restriction of the same
cause a loss of 90 per cent of each
years crop. Several speakers de-
clared the high cost of living grew
directly out Of this matter of restric-
/ ton, and the consumer pays for all
and gets just one-third.
| Members OF the Four States Fruit
and Truck Growers Exchange mad
/ been invited to attend in a body. as
/ had several similar organizations.
The conference adopted this resolu-
ton
/ Whereas, The present unscicntific
methods of sale and distribution of
agricultural products result in great
loss to both producer and consumer
and threaten the food supply OF this
country, so that this condition calls
/ for government assistance similar in
/ scope TO that being rendered by il in
I improving methods of production;
/ therefore be it
/ Resolved, That we favor the crea-
/ ton OF market bureau in the ma
/ tional department Of agriculture TO
remedy the evils connected with the
marketing OF agricultural products and
assist in remedyiIg a condition where
agricultural products are selling at d
price pr0hibitiye TO, the average wage
Garner in one session of the country
and rOtting in the fields in other sec
tions; and be it further
Resolved, That this bureau is
given ample authority to do everything
necessary for the relief of the people
and to cooperate with the authorities
in the different states; be it further
Resolved, That Professor Charles
B. Austin be requested, through the
division of public welfare of the Uni
versity of Texas, to gather statistics
on marketing conditions in Texas at
the present time and to forward same
to our representatives in congress-"
