Mexico City, Oct. 17-Seyenty-four
OF the 11O members of the Mexican
chamber Of deputies arrested by or
der Of Provisional President Huerta
october 10 we're formally arraigned
today before the second judge of the
federal district, who has had charge
of the investigation into the cases.
The period for filing charges against
the deputies expired today.
The charges entered against the
deputies today we're all 70 rpolitical
offenses designated by the law as
rebellion, sedition and insults" to
important public functionaries.
Ten of the deputies, against whom
there was said to be insufficient evil
dence, were released The others
had been previously set at liberty.
It was expected yesterday that Ro-
dolfo Reyes, formerly provisional
minister of justice, and Jorego Vera
Estamol formerly provisional minis
ter Of public instruction, would be
released. but they were among those
kept in custody.
The sensational arrest of the dep
uties on October 10 was q sequel to
their signature OF resolutions de-
manding an investigation into the dis
appearance of Senator Dominguez and
warning the provisional president
that if he did not guarantee their i'm
munity from arrest they would hold
their sessions somewhere else.

Huerta May RetIre

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Possiblities
Of Huertas immediate retirement
commanded foremost attention in the
Mexican situation here today, and ad-
ministration officials were awaiting
advices to supplement those Of late
yesterday, which suggested very
strongly that Mexico's provisional
president had been deferred only for
lack of agreement on a man to sue
ceed him.
Blanquet, minister of war, one of
the group who acted with Huerta in
the downfall Of Madero, was men
toned as a successor, but not ap-
proved here.
Diplomatists also we're of the opin-
ion that Blanquet was ineligible be-
cause he was born in Spain, and the
Mexican constitution demands a ma
tive-born. Whether Banquet could
relieve the situation with the United
states also was question discussed
Reports Of Huerta's impending re-
tirement, rumors Of death plots
against Felix Diaz, a rival presiden-
tial candidate, and the attitude OF
foreign governments, which already
have recognized Huerta and some of
which are regarded as sympathizing
with the position of the United States
all served to make the present sit
uation more complex.
The attitude Of Great Britain, ac-
eording to those who knew the view
Of the Washington administration, is
causing some concern. American Of
fcials showed some disappointment
to learn that Sir Lionel Garden pre-
sented his credentials to Huerta the
day after he had proclaimed himself
as dictator.

convinced that the election would be
held October 26.
The general declined to express any
opinion on other aspects of Mexican
affairs, saying that he was not suff-
ciently informed about them, as he
had had only the barest outline of
the news.
General Diaz. who apparently was
in excellent health, was met also by
delegation of his personal friends
from Mexico. On account Of rumors
that an attempt would be made by
Mexican conspirators to assassinate
General Diaz in Havana, a strong
force Of police was sent aboard the

al. The general said he would re-
main on the vessel until afternoon

Spokane, Wash, Oct IS. THE
government Of Provisional President
Hnerta Of Mexico is just as legal as

former United States ambassador to

Wilson continued. eff President VIII

we should have to 60 back again.
That would mean controlling the
country and all the countries to the
boundaries Of the Panama canal In
tervention would be all right if We
stayed there all the time. but it
would be bad for our morals and
pocketbooks
In discussing the condition of the
lower classes in Mexico, Wilson said
that 50 per cent were outcasts and
parias and were il1iterate and therein
lay the root of all evils.
"Under those conditions, he CON

but in spite Of this an effort was made
to deprive them of their property. Mr..

Discussing the Madero regime, Mr..
Wilson said that S4 Americans had
