Railroad Becomes PIaything

Los ANGELES, May 1O.-rne Rev
olutionists Of the States of Sonora and
Sinaloa who are operating under the
name of COnstitutiOnalists are making
a huge plaything of the Southern Pa
cific railroad in Mexico. They are in
complete control Of the division that
runs between Nogales and Guaymas.
265 miles, and between Guaymas and
Culiacan, 332 miles. The branch lines
which run between Naco and Lomas
and between TOnichi and Corral have
also been cOnfiscated by the rebels.
The authority of the officials of the
road is not in any way recognized by
the MeXicans who are now directing
its operations. Rebel soldiers have
been put On the passenger and freight
trains as conductors and engineers, and
they are operating the rolling stock
with high hand.
The general manager, superintendent
and lesser officials as well as many of
the regular employees have been ousted
from their positions an dtheir places
filled with ignorant men from the
ranches and farms. All freight and
passenger charges are collected and
applied to the fund for carrying on the
revolution.
1t Is said nothing has been done for
several months toward keeping up the
rOadbed or making the other necessary
repairs, and that within a short time
the lines In the hands OF the rebels will
DE in practically worthless condition.
The usurpers are apparently deriv-
ing lots Of fun out Of the railroad
Whenever they want to give~a Joy
ride for their friends they make up q
special train and tear over the tracts
at top speed. These so-called pleasure
are run daily out Of a num-
Der Of towns and are apparently great
ly enjoyed by the men, women and
children of the lower class.

NEW YORK. Feb 19.-EdWard F. Mylius. journalist, convicted of libclling King George of England and detained by the immigration auth critics at Ellis Island, received per- mission today from federal Judge Cox to enter the United States Judge Moves sustained the writ of habeas corpus

WASHINGTON |S
 4 BIT RELIEVED
Situation in Mexico is More Measuring; Pre- si q en t Taft Will Communicate With Huerta But Not Recognize Government
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 There was a marked reaction today from the severe strain under which the diplomatic, military and naval branches of the government have been laboring for the last ten days because of the crisis in Mexico. A nasty consultation between the var iOus departments resulted in d general decision to maintain the ex- isting attitude toward Mexico and also with respect to the preparation of the army and navy to meet any emergency that might arise
 AlthrOugh the state department of ficials are naturally gratified at the termination of the prolonged battle that ragged within the heart of Mex ico City. It is deemed unwise to per init that sentiment to affect the progress of the arrangement to pro- tect the lives of foreigners in Mexi- co. in case the situation gets be- yond the control of the new gov ernment. The original orders to the army officers to have soldiers ready to move on short notice, and to transports to proceed to the assigned des situations were allowed to stand. Probably some reply will be made by President Taft to the personal mes sage from Victoriano Huerta. who signed himself commander-in chief, announcing he had overthrown the Madero government but will not be of such nature as to constitute pol itical recognition of the new govern ment.
 Ambassador Wilson is expected to communicate freely with the military governor Huerta to transact the Ordi- nary business of the embassy and his example will probably be followed l by representatives of other powers. | Within a week a the longest the ] Mexican congress should be in ses- sion in conformity with the call just l issued by the military governor. Up- l on the extent to which the Huerta l supporters, transfer to congress the powers of government will depend | on the attitude of the United State 1 toward the de facto government of
 Mexico If constitutional forms arc
 observed, if congress is allowed with out duress to discharge it's lawfu duty in selecting a provisional presi-
 dent and if in the ordinary way 1 congress provides for holding the general elections throughout MevicC
 after q reasonable period at which al the people may have free chance
 to indicate their choice for perma
 nent president. the Washington gov
 ernment's decision may be relied up
 on to give cordial and sympatheti
 support to the efforts of those nov
 in control of the Mexican capital t
 establish the government on a perm !, { anent basis. Meanwhile the attitud of the administration here will re
 main one of passive. though inter ested observation.

House in Tangle Over Con gested Appropriations Measures Brings Under wood From Tariff Work to Issue Warning
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19-With the house in a tangle over the cOngested appropriation bill, democratic leader Underwood dropped tariff work today and lectured the democrats on the ne cessity of speedy action on the supply measures. In the course of a cOllOquY with Minority Leader Mann and Repre- sentative Roddenberry of Georgia. the latter flibustering against the approp- ration bills, Representative Underwood declared emphatically it was not the wish of President elect Wilson that this years appropriations bills go over to the democratic administration.
 Tt is understood generally that this side of the house. said Mann, and all so on the other side of the house that it is the inspiration of the democratic president elect to prevent the passage of this appropriation bill at this session of congress-

Underwood replied, with any authority to speak for the next president but I will say. without having special authority that I am firmly convinced that any such state ment attributed to the next president is absolutely erroneous. Any filibus- ter against the appropriation bills at this stage of the proceedings" Under wood continued" is indefensible"
 Mann charged that the majority is "disOrganized" declaring the appropria- ton bill has been neglected until it is impossible to get them through without setting aside the rules and he is de- lighted to see the gentleman from Ala bama back from his labOrs at the tariff hearings Former Speaker Cannon al- so denounced the fiIibuster

Congress Confirms Appoint ment of General Huerta

[AssoC1ArED PRESS DIsPATCHI

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 19-Francisco | Madero, deposed from the presi- dency yesterday will be eXiled. Ar engagements had been made for his de- parture tonight from the capital for Vera Cruz. From there he will sail for some European port. Madero will be accompanied by his wife and per haps his father and other members of his family. His loyal aide, Cap tain Federico Montes will also go. but in the capacity of guard. The party will proceed to Vera Cruz un- escorted.
 The execution of GustavO MaderO brother of the deposed president was the most tragic occurrence of today. The brother of the deposed president was taken from the pentitentiary at nine o'clock this morning and exc cuted 1t is presumed that this was done by the order of Felix Diaz, un- der the notorious fugitive law Francisco Madero was later taken to the arsenal under heavy guard

 Gustavo Madero was regarded as more powerful man than the presi dent after Madero broke with pr. Vasquez Gomez. He and his brother forced Saurez forward as vice. -presi dent-an act which his enemies never fOrgave.
 Members of the cabinet and most of the other prisoners were released this morning. Francisco Madero, Jose Pino Suarez, the vice president and Federico Gonzales Carza, gov ernor of the federal district are the only important prisoners held. Err ne5to Madero former finance minister paid a lengthy visit this afternoon to Francisco General Huerta who as sumed the post Governor General and General Diaz had an extended con- ference after which it was announced that they are in complete accord.
