SEEKING
 TO RECOVER LAND
 HE GAVE DAUGHTER

Suit to regain property at PA Wheel CT avenue was staeted this morning before Judge Bennett in the superior court when the action of Martin Whe- Ian against Etta l.. Heery had a hear ing. Whe1an, who is 78 years old, tes- tif1ed that in October, 1906, he made an agreement with his daughter, Mrs. Heery, whereby he would deed her the property upon her promises to provide food, clothing and lodging for himself and wife.
 They lived together short time and then had a dispute which resulted in Mrs. Neery deeding the property back to her father.
 A reconciliation followed and once more the plaintiff conveyed the prop erty to Mrs. Heery. Mrs. Whelan died in February, 1912, and last July Whe- Ian left his daughters house again. He complained that she iI1- treated him, failed to provide proper clothing and even put dope in his milk. He asks the court to order the conveyance void.
 Mrs. Heery denies the stories of ill., treating her father. She declares she always provided proper food and clothing. The evidence was finished this morning and Judge Bennett took the papers.

 The document is snort and 1t ta ensd to review tersely the most imporaanf acts of the Huerta administration deal ing firmly with the dissolution Of Con gTess and calling attention to lI1e strained relations with the Unitsd States.

 It ie regarded as probable that the Congress may name someo-e e1se for the presidency for the period ensuing until the election and inauguration Of a permanent chief executive. but Ir would be a big surprise to most 1fe1ri- cans as well as foreigners if Huerta should not be instructed to continue at the head of affairs
 Officials of the HUerta admfnlstra- ton have been pleased by the report that the constituencies had insisted that William Bayard Hale, the repre- sentative of President Wilson, should show his credentials before contfnuins conferences with General Carrauza. and his advisers. Besides indicating that Carranza as a Mexican is dfsposed to reject interference, the report fs in- terpreted as indicating a failure of the rebels and the United States authori- ties to reach a working agreement.
 So far as had been ascertained early today, all of the foreign diplomats here, with the exception of Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affaires, will attend the opening ses- sion of the Congress.

THREE HEROES
 LAUDED FOR
 WORK IN FIRE

New York. Nov. 19-Three names stood out conspicuously in the stories of bravery told today when the Gun ard liner Pannonia brought to port the passengers rescued from the burn ing Spanish steamer Balmes.
 Captain Juan Ruiz, of the Balmes, spent practically five days without sleep while he and his men held the flames in check and guided their ship safely into the harbor of St. Georges, Bermuda.
 Innocencio V. Mickair1a, the wire- less operator on the Balmes. sent the messages that brought the Pannonia. Since there was only one other man aboard who understood English, ATfckairIa was obliged to be on duty without rest to translate the messages received from the rescuing ship.
 Nicholas Arbonfes, a mechan1c1an from the Canary Island, was the man who led the men passengers into the blazing hold of the Balmes last Thursday after the crew was exhaust ed and ready to give up the fight.
 The passengers themselves first dis covered the fire. Some of mo- ticed smoke coming through the grat- ing of our cabin,'' said Abornies.
 Early Wednesday morning, the decks were so hot that boards had to be laid for the sailors to walk on. Thursday morning the decks cooled a bit The sailors were lying about exhausted and four of them were un- conscious from inha1ing smoke. Then the passengers took a hand. We opened the hatch of hold No. 2 and tried to get out some Of the casks of rum We hoisted out two or three, then the smoke got so dense and the place so hot we had to stop.
 we found two casks from which the heads had been burst, probably by the heat, letting the rum leak down upon the burning cotton in the lower hold.''
 The passengers from the Baines mum bered seventy-one men and tI1ir- ty-two women and children. Most of them came from Cuba and all were bound for ports in Spain. They will be sent to their destination by an early boat None of them seemed the worse for their experience. When they first came aboard the Pannonia. many of them were scantiIy clothed and some of the children were naked but the Pannonia's passengers gave them all the clothing they needed and on Sunday when the Pannonia left Bermuda she took off all their bag gage from the Ba1mes.
 It was not until the pumps of the Balmes became choked and Captain Ruiz feared the fire would get the upper hand that he accepted the Pannonfa's offer to take off his pass engerS
