Situation Realized.

Early today the seriousness OF the
situation appeared To be realized by the
officials at the palace and the people in
the streets II there was time limit
liked by Washington in which Huerta
had to make certain concessions, this
was not known to the public. and out
wardly. at least. the situation had not
changed from what II Vas yesterday
afternoon.
certain Of Gen. Huerta's friends, with
due circumspection, continued their ef-
iorts to persuade him 10 give in, but
there was another group which was
more open in its advice. The members
of this group urged the president not
to concede to any demands, but To pro-
ceed with the task OF bringing into eN-
isfance his new congreSS-1n snort, to
DEFY the United States
Those who favored Huerta's yielding
were none too insiStent upon their point
If view. as the provisional president
has established a reputation for not
receiving in the most friendly spirit ad-
vice contrary to his own opinion.
Rumors that he intended to prevent
congress from meeting and even that he
was willing TO resign immediately without
suecffying who should be his successor
were current all day. but equally current
were rumors OF diametrically opposite
character.
II was argued by many that Gen.
Huerta was not so averse to abandoning
his office as he was TO leave the presi-
dency without a clean bill of health. 1t
was pointed out that should he resign
without congress being duly installed. SO

Question of Discrimination in Tar

Sifted.

Following on the heels OF the Senate
resolution calling for an investigation OF
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, the public utilities commission,
it was learned yesterday, has directed
local REPRESENTATIVES of the company 10
furnish il with a list of all instructions
issued from the headquarters of the
CORPORATION in New York, relating to
charges for telephone service in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The utilities board means to get all
the light possible on the manner in which
tbe compauy manipulates Its schedule OF
tariffs with a view to determining Whe-
thor any determinations are practiced
in violation OF the utilities law. While
II already has on file the schedule or
rates II believes that the instructions

the com0any operate also should form
part of the records of the commission.

1t, accordingly, has ordered that the

II is the plan of the commission TO INDEX
the material to he placed at It's dis-
posaI by the telephone officials, so that
when il is investigating a particular

and consider the two jointly.
The commission is planning 10 GO
thoroughly into the question OF dlscrlm-
nations in the course of the investlSation
which will be commenced some time our

The declaration first from Carranza,
that ne would not accept mediation BY

Huerta, caused no concern here, for the

Sunday which might have resulted
fatally if it had not been for the prompt
action of Martin Jensen. Sunderland
arose early, before the rest of the family
to build a fire in the kitchen range and
to do chores around the house. In
order to hurry the fire in the range he
poured oil on the feul in the stove. A
couple of minutes later he noticed that
the fire was not burning right, so he
again proceeded to pour a little more oil

flames. He rushed out of doors and
attempted to extinguish the flames by
rolling in the snow, without avail.

Sunderland had received severe burns
