mo arms TO Be
SENT TO HUERIA
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,

conditions of domestic violence exist.
This resolution was passed by Congress
because OF the complaints of the Madero
administration then In control in Mexico.
that arms and ammunition were being
shipped in to the revolutionists who were
seeking to undermine them.
The proclamation issued by the Presi-
dent was interpreted as allowing ship
ments Of munitions Of war consigned to
ithe Madero government to cross the
border. but as putting an embargo upon an
consignments to rebels and Instruction
lists. As a result Of this proclamation.
the steady flow Of arms and ammunition
across the Rio Grande into Mexico for
the reinforcement of the rebels ceased.
and they were obliged to look elsewhere.
After Madero was overthrow by
Huerta the same principle was allowed
to apply by the Taft administration.
Arms consigned to the Huerta govern
ment went through with the o. X. Of
the United States officials, while the ef-
forts OF the constitutionalists and others
to avail themselves Of such a supply
were blocked.
1t has been apparent for some time
that the Wilson administration has been
chafing under this policy. 1t was entirely
out Of joint with the stand taken by
the administration against the recogni-
ton Of the Huerta government until after
the regular elections had been held next
October. Inasmuch as the Wilson ad-
ministration failed to accept the Huerta
government as entitled to recognition. IT
was, of course, an open question to
whether the administration could justly
discriminate between Carranza and his
followers and Huerta, in the matter of
war shipments.

House to confer in regard to the situa-

and Carranza forces to obtain whatever
arms and supplies they wanted on an
equal footing. Some members Of Con-
gress were of the opinion that this would
accelerate a decision Of the controversy
now beng waged.
The opinion prevailed finally. however.
that the wiser Ncourse to pursue at pres-
ent would be to adopt q negative policy
for the time being and prohibit ship
ments of munitions to both factions.
No formal announcement has beer
made in regard to the administration
policy and probably nothing will be pro-
mulgatcd until the President has con-
ferred with Ambassador Henry Lane

be no further shipments of arms or am
munition to the Huerta regime until

formally determined.

PACIFIC MINE.
MAKES SHIPMENT

The Pacific mine of American Fork
canyon last week made it's nineteenth
shipment, the ore going 10 the United
States smelter at Midvale. The ship
ment consisted of fftythree tons,
which netted the company. s192l13,
after deducting freight and treatment
charges,
The lessees are busy getting out an
other car, and have more than half Of
another shipment ready to be loaded.
An ore dryer was recently built at the
mine to answer the double purpose of
saving the extra freight on the moisture
in the ore, and to prevent the ore from
freezing. The dryer will also provide
the necessary heat to enable the opera
tors to keep their jig working all win
ter. The entire plant is now housed in
a substantial building which is pro-
tected by cribbing from the frequent
snowslides during the winter time. The
company plans TO market at least fifty
tons Of ore a month, Of a grade equal
to that Of the last shipment.
The Dutchman, Belerophon and Sun
day mines have each made a carload
shipment during The past week
