HUERTA PLEDGE DENIED
BY CHARGE O'SHAUGHNESSY
Juarez. Mex, Quiet Following Shoot.
ing of Drunken Mexican, Who
Attacked U. s. Officials.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Much atten-
ton was attracted ia official circles
here during Sunday. when two new
phases in the Mexican situation de-
veloped.
One was the published disclaimer
of Nelson 'Shaughnessy. American
charge d'affaires at Mexico City. that
any positive assurances had been CIV
en- him of the intention Of Victorianc
Huerta not to be candidate In the
approaching elections.
The other was the receipt OF private
kilograms stating that Gen. Geronimo
Trevino would be made minister of
war soon to succeed General Banquet.
1t had been generally supposed here
that Trevino was ordered back to
Mexico City by Huerta to be given the
reins OF the government as provisional
president. while Huerta entered the
presidential campaign.
Washington officials have often
pointed out that they had relied only
on the repeated emphasis by FREDERICK
Gamboa, Mexican minister OF foreign
affairs, of the statement that Huerta
was ineligible by the constitution to
succeed himself.
Vera Cruz, Sept. 9.-From the CAPT.
tai comes the prediction that when
congress convenes September Is Gen
eral Huerta will recommend post
ponement OF the elections under a
clause in the constitution, which pro.
vides that no elections shall be held In
case of a too disturbed state of the
country.

Madison. Wisconsin has been given
Third rank among the lime producing
states of the Union. This in view of
the fact that the use of lime Is widely

STATES WISCONSIN
FACES BANKRUPTCY.
TREASURER JOHNSON SUGGESTS
CONFERENCE TO HEAD OFF
ANY DISASTER.
EXPENSES MILLION A MONTH
New Revenues From Taxes viii Not
Be Available Until Next February
and March-oniy $t,5oo.ooo on
Hand Now.

Madis0n--That something must be
done to save the state from bankrupt.
cy which threatens before the end OF
the year Is evident from the fact that
State Treasurer Henry Johnson sound
ed q note of warning and called upon
the state officials and heads of depart
ments to come together and discuss
the situation.
To those who have kept themselves
informed upon the financial condition
OF the state this action by the treas
urer is not a surprise. In fact. 1t Is
but an echo of previous warming
made to the legislature by the same
official when he gave notice at the
time the lawmakers were In session or
what was likely to occur unless some
thing was done to ward off the i'm
pending danger The Legislature, how
now State Treasurer johnson feels
called upon to bring those in authority
together to see il something cannot be
done to at least soften the situation.
Mr.. Johnson said that the running
expenses Of the state institutions and
departments are approximately 81
100000 per month, based upon the
record of the year ending June 80,
1913. For the present year of course
the expenses will be somewhat if not
very materially greater These facts
appear in the figures shown for the
year ending June IS, 1913, when the
total expenditures of the state were
$16,SS9,524 OF this amount there
was returned to the counties for one
purpose or another s4,191 ,096.1S, which
shows that the actual running ex'
penses of the state for that period
were $l2,79S, 42S5S. or little better
than a million month.
On Sept. there was in the treasury
a little more than $1,500,000 useable
funds as follows:
General funds ........ S1,269, 1880
University fund ......... 93,459.13
School fund ...... 236,990.S4
Normal school fund ..... 6,545.15
Total ................S1, sos ,949.02
or course. there are other and nu-
merous small funds, but they are not
available for current expenses. Until
the taxes levied in November are
paid into the treasury, which will, be
next February or March, there will be
no appreciate addition to these funds.
and it is from them that the expenses
OF the, government must be paid. 1t
takes no mathematical prodigy to dis
Germ that at the rate of a million
month, a million and half dollars will
last but month and half-then
