DEPUTIES IN JAIL
HELD FOR TRIAL
CLAIMED THAT DISSOLUTION OF
CONGRESS WILL NOT AFFECT
HOLDING ELECTION.

Mexico City, Oct. 12.-There IA,
been endless speculation here regard.
ing the effect of Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta's coup d'etat. Many
appear to believe that the logica
result will be a split in the army
which they assert has been held to-
gether only by the force of Gen
huerta's personality. They assert
that there has been dissatisfaction
over Huerta's course in general and
that this will test loyalty to the
danger point They look for start
ling developments in the near fu-.
ture. On the other hand there is
a large element which believes Pres
ident Huerta took the only possible
course and expresses wonder that he
had not taken the steps long ago.
Huertas friends say it is no secret
that had the deputies believed any
substantial part of the army would
stand with them they would have
overridden Huerta and taken the
reins of government wholly in their
hands.
Minister OF Interior Manuel Cara
Aldape made the following announce
ment Sunday:
THE deputies who have been ar
rested and imprisoned cannot be re-
leased on any writ They will be
tried for the various offenses OF
which they are accused Not one of
them has been released by the gov
ernment today They will be treated
we'll in confinement.
"The dissolution of congress viii
not affect the holding of elections
in the least The ballots will be
cast in October. The only change
will be that scenators and deputies
will be elected to replace those put
out of office by the coup d'etat.
THE governors, civil and military,
If all the states, have been mott
lied of the dissolution of congress
and all have responded, accepting
he governments course of action.
Ali the governors have reported that
conditions in their respective states
md territories are tranquil and that
here have been no disturbance |
Minister Aldape has assured the |
leputies' families that the prisoners |
will be treated with consideration. |
They will be allowed to receive |
clothing, food and reading matter
rom their families and friends, but |
will not be permitted to talk to any
me, even on regular visiting days
Detachments of troops patrol the
treets but the excitement which re-
ulted from the coup has subsided
There has not been any rioting or
isorder in the capital in conse-
uence of the events of the past few
ays.

house to continue the extra judges
in office until they resign or retire.
Previously the house had voted the
judges out OF office as we'll as hav-
ing abolished the court itself. The
senate amendment was accepted Sat
Lrday because of the belief that the
deficiency bill would be indefinitely
held up by the senate II the house
insisted on legislating the present
commerce court judges out of Office.
Speaker Champ Clark, during be-
bate on the measure, ruled himself
out of a $1,000 automobile without
a Visible tremor. James K. Mann,
the republican leader, proposed to at
tack the automobile provisions as an
TO similar appropriation
which the senate had attached for
Vice President Marshall. The pro.
jriety of the measure was question
ed, however, and in the end the vice
president lost his machine too.
A motion was about to be- made
to give the vice president a new car
but Minority Leader Mann got the
floor first and moved that the ap-
be doubled and the
speaker included for a $1,000 ma
