HUERTA VS.. DIAz
Mexico Is Expecting Turmoil
at Any Minute.
Two leaders Are Collecting
Vast Forces in Country.

Washington. April 2S.-A rapidly
growing situation in Mexico City,
fraught with friction between the
Huerta and Diaz factions of the pro-
Visional government, is reported in
confidential advices and these reports
are augmented by agents of the Car
ransea constitutionalists arriving here
Robert Pesquiera, a member of the
Mexican house of deputies, arrived
here today to succeed Gonzales Gante
as confidential agent of the Carran-
sea forces. Gante has been assigned
to a special mission, the nature of
which is not disclosed, but it is be-
lieved he is going to Europe.
Reports of the situation in Mexico
City confirm earlier advices of the
tensity of the relations of Diaz to
Huerta. Between the two officials
practically all government forces in
the federal district have been divided
into two armed camps Huerta has
added to the infantry at the national
palace and DiaZ has encamped much
of the artillery on his estate. Haci-

ROCK ISLAND Line
Revival of RumOrS Concerning
Cutoff to Gulf.
Straight Plan From Fairbury,
Neb., to HeringtOn.

Kansas City, April 2S.-The report
about the Rock Island railroad build
ing a straight line from Fairbury, Neb.,
to the Gulf of Mexico has been revived
with additional fuel for belief. 1t is
coming in June.
For years the Rock Island has been
flirting with a north and south line
that would extend into Nebraska, max
ing a short cut from Omaha to the
gulf. The Rock Island has such a
line from Omaha, but it zig-Zags across
and is anything but direct route.
The line from Omaha to Fairbury
is direct enough as it is. The plan is
said to be to build the road on a
straight line from Fairbury to Her
ington. The company already has a
direct line from Herington leading into
Texas

BANKERS MUST AGREE.
President Wilson Urges Dispatch in
Currency Reform.

Washington, April 2S.-President Will
son feels that prospects for currency
legislation during the present session of
congress depend not alone on the dis
patch with which the tariff bill is dis
posed of but on progress toward a COM
mon agreement as to what should con-
stitute banking reform. The president
hopes that the informal discussion
among currency reform advocates will
lead to general understanding before
long. so the bill itself may be launched
and if the measure obtains the ap-
prevail of Democratic leaders generally.
an, effort may be made to push it's pas
sage before the extra session adjourns.
The president intinated. however, that
until very definite progress has been
made in drafting the bill, there would
be little effort to sound out sentiment
in congress.

Mrs. George Maths Back From
Trip to Washington.
She Investigated Proposition
p. o. Building.

Mrs. George Maths, who has but re-
Gently returned from Washington, D.
c., where she went to investigate the
proposition for the new postoffice site,
said that the authorities at Washing
ton were working on a long list of sites
for new postoffices and it was not
known when North Topeka's turn
would come. The representative might
be here within three days and it might
be several weeks before he could get
here. Mrs. Maths feels very confident
that her property at the corner of
Gordon and Kansas avenue will be
the one selected. She was told that if
a site could not be bought for the pres
ent location and if another appropria-
ton was asked for that it would be
a matter of about ten years before a
new postofffce could be built in North
Topeka but if a suitable site can be
agreed upon by the representative of
the government and the North siders
the postoffice will probably be COM
pIeted within a year and a half The
authorities at Washington seem to
think that $4,000 is a large sum
for q federal building for a town the
size of North Topeka and the people
should not ask for an added appropria-
ton for the site.
