PROPOSAL To
RESIGN
General Fuente is Said to be on the
Way to Washington With Note to
the President Which Could Not be
Delivered to John Lind Mexican
Politicians Say Dictator is Harass.
ed With Financial Troubles Which
Will Force Him Out.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 20.-General
Fuente. son-in-law of General Huerta,
who left last night on a mysterious
mission, is reported to be on his way
to Washington with a message from
Huerta to President Wilson.
The supposition Is that Huerta had
a proposition to make which is little
short of an unconditional retirement
and that he could not make it to John
Lind because the latter has refused 10
receive any message from him (Huer-
tai other than an announcement of
retirement.
According to Mexican politicians,
the dictator has been so harassed with
financial worries that he would have
which he would have exposed himself
IL he surrendered his reign before the
Mexican congress has ratified all his
acts as provisional president. This
seems to be the real crux of the situ-
alton. Politicians add that Huerta has
done things while in office for which,
unless they can be legalized his sue
oessor in office could have him exc.
cuted.
Huerta today intimated that the
British fleet now on the way to Vera
Cruz are coming to oppose the Am
erican warships now stationed there,
The dictator has all along sought to
give his adherents the impression that
the powers would support him against
the United States. The British West
Indian squadron was ordered to sail
several days ago.

DEPUTY ASKED TO ENDORSE
CHECK; ARRESTS HIS MAN

To present bogus check to man
and then have the man call a deputy
sheriff to endorse the check Is an ex-
perience calculated to shake the nerves
OF even the most hardened floater of
worthless paper. 1t need occasion no
wonderment then when 1t is said that
one L. V. Green was visibly startled
this morning when he learned that
Deputy Sheriff George Strand was an
interested spectator to his attempt to
secure money via the check route.
The local officers were notified this
morning to he on the lookout for
Green, who 1t is alleged, under the
guise of representing the Continental
Distributing Co. of Seattle had pass
ed several checks In Arlington, The
Dalles and Umatilla. In searching for
him Deputy Sheriff Strand stopped in
the Bowman about 10 this morning
and noticed the name on the register
Immediately afterwards Green walked
In and requested James A. Cooper the
proprietor. to cash $40 check. He
wrote out the check upon the First
National Bank of Portland and pre-
sented II.
Cooper summoned the officer ask
ing him IL he wanted to endorse the
check. Strand gazed at the signature
and remarked that he didn't believe
he did Thereupon. he calmly an
nounced his office and his mission
and broke It gently to the stranger
that he was under arrest. Green
turned white and exclaimed in sur
prise and chagrln. He protested that
the Seattle company gave him the
privilege of signing checks but he will
have to make his explanations at Ar
llngton for the sheriff there has first
chance at him.

Dr., Clifton F. Hodge Delivers In.
structive Lecture on Ways to
Rid City From the Pests.
DEADLY MENACE TO HEALTH
Representative OF the University Of
Oregon Extension Department
Opens First OF Series OF Lectures Oh
Vital Subjects-Will Deliver Talk
on Birds" Tonight

y "Flyless Pendleton" Is what DR..
Clifton Fremont Hodge would make
this city into. Speaking at the high
school auditorium last evening in the
interests OF the University of oregon
extension department the man who
has come TO be known as the fly's
greatest foe In America, told some
startling facts about the menace to
life and health in the continued null
tiplication OF the housefly and urged
some simple methods for the extermi-
nation OF this pest
Not only did he dwell upon the fly
alone. He spoke of all forms OF ami
NAL lfe that have become disease
carriers and urged cooperative ef-
forts on the part OF citizens in erad-
icating them. "Civic Biology" was
his subject and he impressed upon
his hearers that the only way In
which flies. fleas. lice mosquitoes,
rats and other pests can be extermi-
mated from a community Is by gen.
~rai effort on the part OF the entire
itizenship.
That a city can be made flyless Is
evidenced by the case of Columbus,
Ohio, he said. where under the direc-
ton of Miss Jean Dawson, one of his
pupils, the flies were stamped out
and the city made an example of civ
&c cleanliness.
DR.. Hodge is trying to inject two
ideas into the solution OF the fly
problem. namely. "Get the fight out
OF doors" and "Exterminate." His
method OF combating the files Is
simple. He has IA form of fly trap
that Is simply and cheaply made and
catches the insects by the thousands.
lie would set these wherever files
tend to accumulate. He proposes
that the boys of the manual training
department OF the h.sh school make
these traps and distribute them over
the city "a pair of flies beginning
operations in April may be progenit-
ors II all were to live" he said. "of
i9l, 900. 600, ,O0O. 900, 900 flies by Au-
gust. Allowing e-eighth OF cubic
inch TO the fly, this number would
cover the earth Al feet deep. Is II not
simple, common place proposition
TO catch this pair in April?"

DIR. Hodge. who Is connected with
the game deartment of the state as
well as with the extension depart
ment of the university will deliver

headquarters for the junta.
Hale decided at a late hour last
night TO go TO Tucson but it was re-
ported today that he might return. II
was taken as a significant sign that
Carranza hopes for further negotia-

advisers behind, Min sters Escudero

continue negotiations at the pleasure
of Hale.
Hale however. is not likely to make
the first move in that direction.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Nov. 60
Most of the 500 and more federal SOL
diers who defended Victoria from the
rebels were massacred according to
reports received here. 1t was decided
that the bulk of the federals should
leave the city and retreat to Tula,
leaving $50 men behind to hold the de.
fenses and thus delay the rebel pur-
suit. The defending troops offered to
surrender but General Gonzalas re-
fused to take any prisoners. The fight
then followed and most of the federals
were either killed in the battle or
hunted to death in the streets. Cen
eral Gonzales is reported marching on
