Mexico City, Nov. 17.-General
Huerta regards his part in the recent
exchange Of communications with the
United States as finished. He ex-
poets to find no difficulty in con-
summating his plan to bring his new
congress to full organization tomor-
row and he continues planning his
military campaigns and carrying out
his policies OF pacification.
What further move may be taken
at Washington is question which
neither the Mexicans nor the foreign
ers here find an easy one to answer,
but there was noticeably today an
increasing expression of opinion that
the United States would keep her
hands off.

The Newport Baseball association
held a meeting in the town hall at
Newport. n. H.. Thursday evening and
the members voted to make application
for a berth in the Twin State league.
The Newport fans were approacne,
earlier i'm the year and they would
not take any action at that
time and, as the league team had to
be made up so the managers could
get a line on players, Northampton
remained in the league. Northamp
ton was willing to stick with the Twir
State league and there is no reason now
for accepting Newport in place of the
Massachusetts nine. The league di-
rectors would have been willing to take
Newport into the league earlier in the
year but, as the matter now stands the
same four teams that represented the
Twin State league last year will make
up the league this season.

Northampton management that this
city was ripe for such venture. The

when the Fitchburg chances looked

towns in that section were willing to
get into the Twin State, but that plan
fell through when Il fOur-city league
was organized to include those two
cities.
That left the possible Twin State

TRINIDAD MINERS THROWN OUT
OF THEIR HOMES

, OF THEIR HOMES
Trinidad, COL, Sept. 24.-The
strike of the miners which began
two days ago threatens to result in a
struggle as long and as bitterly
fought as was the civil war. that
racked West Virginia. The miners
who quit at the Tercio mine were
given one hour to get themselves and
their families out of town. Before
the hour was up deputy sheriffs ap-
peared at the mems homes and or
dered the women and children out
and piled their furniture in the street.
While this was going on the mar
shall of Tercio rode up and down the
main street on horseback, with rifle
in his hand.
The Tercio mine is owned by the
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company. 1t
employees ITO miners, most of whom
are married and have children. They
all live in company houses.
At Tobasco miners, their wives
and their children were thrown out
of their homes by mine guards.
Miners from all over Las Animas
county have been arriving in Trini-
dad in steady stream for the last
two days, and many of the single
men are leaving the state.
The United Mine Workers believe
that if they lose this fight it will
mean the crushing of their organize
