'ment, was based purely on HUMANE
tartan motives and on the belief that
the execution of Madero would be a
blot on the record of the new gov
eminent. Gen. Huerta promptly gave
assurances that no i'll advised action
would be taken and created the ex-
pectation that Madero would not be
killed.
The effect of the treacherous con-
duct of Huerta toward Madero, the
man under whom he served as mill
tary commander, and his responsible
ity for the death Of his former chief,
will he, so far as the United States
is concerned, to place his claims to
the government of Mexico under
more rigid scrutiny. His assurances
of protection to Americans and for
eigners generally and their property
will be regarded as worthy OF little
consideration and as justifying the
adoption of all possible precaution
and even intervention if necessary.
His government has not been recog-
any refusal to recognize it been made.
Ambassador Wilson is in relations
with him as the defacto authority in
Mexico City and in other places
where his rule has been accepted.
Huerta will be held to strict ac-
countability for any attack upoa
Americans, and should these attacks
be of a general character, or should
communication be interrupted be-
tween Mexico City and it's port, Vera
Cruz, marines and blue jackets will
be landed at once and will be prompt
ly reinforced by the army. Public
opinion in the United States is ex-
pected to support such a policy, and
the murder of the Maderos and Suar-
ez unquestionably will create such
feeling in this country as to back
up the extreme step OF intervention
should it be taken.

Patrick was the Puritan of his

sin and with full remuneration of the
flesh, he did the work of an early
Puritan for ireland and cleansed the
land of idolatry and OF savagery to
such a degree as to have afforded to
the country a literary history. re-
ligious history and a social history
remarkable for their continuity for
their elevation and for their loyalty

MILES OF SALT IN NEVADA

Fifteen million tons of salt are lying
on or near the surface of the ground
in Silver Peak marsh, New, waiting
for commercial utilization. Silver
Peak marsh is a salt playa, or dried
up lake, of prehistoric origin, about
20 miles west Of Goldfeld and 25
miles southwest Of Tonopah. Recent
explorations in this region were made
by Richard B Dole Of the geological
survey, in search of potash that might
be utilized commercially. Little pot
ash was found, however. Practically
the entire surface Of the playa, 32
miles square, is covered with salt. 1t
is estimated that not less than Is
square miles Of the northeastern part
contains a ten-foot saline bed, of
which at least 60 per cent. is salt

nine o'clock in the evening, one hour
before the fire was discovered, had
formed the basis of the accusation in
court.
Mr. Dayton had been able TO prove
that he had been confined to the
house all that fatal day with a slight
indisposition. He had gone up to his
room at eight o'clock. The jury had
only his unsupported word for this,
for no member of the household was
able to say that he had been seen
again until the ensuing morning.
The base implication of the prose-
cution was that Mr.. Dayton had
slipped out of the house between the
hours Of eight and ten in the evening.
They hinted that he had fired the
plant and returned to his room before
the flames we're discovered.
1t was at the darkest moment in the
trial for the anxious father and daugh-
ter when their lawyer called Dr. Paul
Merwin. A serious faced young man
the Daytons had never seen before
took the witness stand. He was care
fully but not extensively dressed. 1t
was notable that he never even
glanced at the accused man nor his
daughter.
His evidence was plain, simple and
convincing. He was a comparative
stranger in the city working up a
small practice. The evening of the
fire he had been resting in the garden
Of the vacant house adjoining the
Dayton mansion. Doctor Merwin
swore positively that he had sat
there, the Dayton house in clear view,
from eight o'clock in the evening un-
til nearly eleven p m. During all
that time, he testified, he had been in
full sight OF the music room where
Miss Dayton was entertaining some
guests, and the up stairs apartment
in wing Of the house where her fa-
ther had been studiously engaged in
going over some account books.
The prosecution was confounded.
The lawyers asked few formal Dues
tons. There was no refutation of the
evidence. Robert Dayton was free
man, honorably acquitted.
The young physician was close at
the side Of Mr.. Dayton's attorney as
the latter approached his client.
Just then the acquitted man was
surrounded by a crowd Of friends.
Evelyn faced the young physician. In
an impulse of deep Joy she put out
both her hands.
1--WE can never tell what we owe
YOU" she said feryently, almost bro
kenly.
1T has been my great fortune to be
Of service to YOU" replied Doctor
Merwin modestly.
For moment her hands rested in
his close earnest grasp. Almost quick
ly she withdrew them.
