DICTATOR PRESENTS
VIEWS TO CONGRESS
DRIVES FROM PALACE TO CHAM
Der THROUGH LINE OF TROOPS
TO DELIVER MESSAGE.
Huetra Makes Terse Explanation Of
His Motives for Dlssolvlng Old
congress.-united States Only
Country Not Represented.

Mexico City-President Huerta APP
peared before the new Mexican con-
gress Thursday evening and read his
message.
Few Mexican presidents have read
at the formal opening sessions of
congress shorter messages and few
have confined themselves so entirely
to one subject. II was nothing more
than a terse explanation of his mo-
tives for dissolving the old congress,
most of the members Of which are in
the penitentiary, accused of sedition.
The senate and chamber of depu-
ties met in joint session, and con-
gress was formally declared convened
at $3.50 p. m. President Huerta came
to the congress through lines of
troops, and the small crowds which
gathered were not demonstrative.
There were no extraneous frills to
the session. 1t was more in the nature
of business meeting between the
president and the men converted into
lawmakers by the recent so-called
elections. The message General
Huerta bore to them was in its essence
an admonition. The incident he relat-
ed to them of the dissolution of the
previous congress was one by which
twas intimated they might be guided
in their conduct as congressman.
The reply of the speaker, Eduardo
Tamrez. was brief. Not all the con.
gressmen were present. Twenty.
seven, the majority of whom were of
the Catholic party. failed to appear.
1t has been announced that the Cath.
lolic members had held a meeting and
decided not to participate in the SEES.
sion. This gave rise to the baseless
rumor that Speaker Tamarez would
not preside, as he is a member oil
that party.
The new congress showed many
faces familiar during the days of Por,
firio Diaz. The exiled ruler would have
felt entirely at home had he stepped
into the chamber. The congress Il
composed for the most part of quiet
men, representative of the older and
more conservative element, and Gen
teral Huerta appeared to realize this
reading them his message in a grim
straightforward manner. such as had
not been witnessed in the chamber In
recent years.
The only country not represented
was the United States. Nelson
lO'Shaughnessy the charge d'affaires
acting under instructions, was absen
from the session. Sir Lionel Garden
the British minister. was a few min
utes late and his delay in arrivins
gave rise to the rumor that he, too
had been instructed to absent himself

Benefit to the Producers and the
Consumers OF the Nation.

Notwithstanding recent act Of
congress, the secretary OF agriculture
has undertaken the establishment of
an office of markets in the depart
ment, which ii is believed will be of
great benefit to the producers and.
consumers, and result in the lowering.
of prices of foodstuffs.
Congressman have been furnish

acting secretary of agriculture, with
reference to the scope of the work
to be undertaken:
The broad authority is given by
congress to accumulate and diffuse
among the people Of the United
States useful information concerning
the marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts. The problem of the office Of
markets, broadly stated, Is to study
present systems of handling and
marketing farm products with a view
to locating definitely the wastes Of
material, time, energy and money
which now operate to needlessly ins
crease the cost of farm products.
