mission Is Abolished.

Washington, Oct. 24.-By direction
of President Wilson, Secretary of War
Garrison is on his way to the Panama
canal zone to study conditions there
and to make a report on all matters
connected with the waterway as it is,
and on questions concerning the form
of government on the isthmus after
the commission is abolished, following
the opening celebration on New
Years day, 1915. The secretary will
be absent from Washington three
weeks.
Recently it has appeared that Col.
George w. Goethals, the chief engi-
neer, would be made governor of the
zone, prior to the completion of the
canal. and that the commission would
be abolished in order to make one
man government possible in the i'm
mediate future.
Favors One-Man Government.
The chief engineer of the canal is
in favor of a one-man government.
His views as to the wisdom of this
system of ruling the zone are counter
to those of Richard Lee Metcalfe, at
present the head of the department of
civil administration on the isthmus.
There is no apparent intention on the
part of the president of the United
States TO abolish the commission for
II months, and, whatever controversy
there may be between the chief engi-
neer and the head of the department
Of civil administration, it has no bear
ing on the government of the zone
until the canal is finished.
It seems certain, To men in Wash
ington, that the president has deter
mined as an act of Justice. to keep

uralzation papers have been denied
to Caesar Prego, cement worker
who came from Italy, because he ad'
mitted he was an anarchist.
Thinking that Prego might not be
familiar with the definition of the word
anarchist, the deputy county clerk
asked him if he knew what it meant
Certainly" responded Prego. AN
anarchist is man who does not be-

Diaz's Friends Arrested.

Every member of Diaz's party is
a prisoner in barracks awaiting court
martial for alleged insubordination.
They were ordered to Havana, thence
to accompany Francisco Leon De La
Barra to rFance. AS their reason for
staying with DiaZ and landing in
Mexico they said they were without
sufficient funds for further travelling
Diaz's friends were fearful that
Huerta might order his arrest. The
situation is a delicate one. Some of
Diaz's most powerful friends urged
him to obey Huerta's order. Knowing
the temper of the dictator they feared
that IN his rage over his thwarted
plans he might order the arrest and
courtmartial of Diaz. This undoubted-
ly would plunge the country into an
other revolution.

DlAZ ORDERED ABROAD AS
ELECTION DAY APPROACHES

Vera Cruz, Oct. 24.-Gen. Felix
Diaz faces a difficult situation. AS
a general of the Mexican army, in
active service, he was under orders
of his commander, Gen. Huerta, to
proceed to Havana aboard the MeXi-
can gunboat Zaragoza. He is a can
didate for president, and to go to Ha-
vana before the election set for Sun
day would eliminate him. The MeXi-
can constitution provides that pres
ident must be on Mexican soil when
elected
To refuse to obey an ostensibly
harmless military order that looked
regular on its face would make DiaZ
liable to arrest and courtmartial for
insubordination. To go to Havana
would cost him his chance for the
presidency.
Diaz is still at the home of his
brother-in-law, Attorney Alcolea,
where he went Immediately on land
ing from the Corcovada. He had re-
fused up to now to obey Huerta's or
Ger to quit Mexico and talked of a
plan to go to Mexico City by special
train

Later the fact developed that at this
time of year the mines in the adjacent
southern district of Colorado become
dangerous from the prevalence of coal
dust which no amount of water seems
able to keep under control, and led to
the belief that the same condition
might have caused the disaster.

Suspected as Assassins.

The followers of Diaz, who might
remain passive if he is euchred out
of the presidency by Huertas strate-
gy. would surely rise up and fight,
were Diaz eliminated by violence.
Officials were urged to deport
three Italians Giuseppe Costanzo,
Giuseppe Guichete and FTanchescho
Constance, who were arrested on sus-
picion when they landed from the Cor
covado. They had bank drafts for
$4,000 and much gold. 1t was sus-
pected that they were anarchists, pos
sibly hired to assassirate Huerta.
