Probe Report That
Refugees Are Held

The State Department today under
took the investigation of reports to the
effect that the federal forces retreating
from Chihuahua are holding refugees
from the town, including foreigners as
well as native MeXicans, as hostages.
According to these reports, suffering
among the refugees has been intense,
and a number have died since leaving
Chihuahua. None, however, has been
permitted to leave the body of federal
troops fleeing with the caravan, the
federals believing that as long as the
refugees are with them the rebels will
not attack.
Information that the constitrItionaIists
have already surrounded ZacatecaS was
received here with interest this morn
ing. Zacatecas is about halfway be-
tween Chihuahua and Mexico City, the
only other town Of any size between
Zacatecas and the capital being Asgua-
calientes.
Reports from Ell Paso state that Cen
eral Villa, the hero of Juarez, entered
Chihuahua today with $500 troops, the
advance guard of his forces. According
to his plan of campaign, all his forces
viii congregate at the edge of the pla-
teau leading to Mexico City. whence the
main attack on the capital will begin.
The State Department this morning
refused to comment on reports to the
effect that the world powers have made
a proposal to Huerta to provide means
of p3cification il he would retire and
call a new election.

HUERTA'S TROOPS
MUT|NY IN CAPITAL
Stack Rifles and Refuse to
Receive Orders Until Given
Pay and Provisions.

MEXICO CITY. Dec. a new peril
has been added to the situation here in
the capital on account of the threat OF
a general mutiny Of such Huerta troops
as have been left to garrison the city.
This movement has been feared for
several days, since one of the regiments
assigned TO patrol duty in the center of
the city refused point blank 20 perform
further service until paid their wages
and furnished with proper food. These
troops stacked their arms in the street,
but remained near them, defying the
remainder of the city garrison to put
them under arrest
Since that event, which was smoothed
over by a distribution of some money
among the regiment which mutinied,
the trouble has been spreading, until
now it is feared hourly that the federal
troops not only in the capital but those
who are in the outlying districts fight
ing the Zapatistas may mutiny for the
same reason and leave the capital city
defenseless against either an attack or
an outbreak within the city itself

Pledges for $3.50 were given at the meet

A feature of last nights meeting was
the unanimous adoption of resolution
calling on the House committee which
has the Kenyon red light bill in
charge to report it to the House. This
action followed the address Of Mrs.
Hepburn and evoked great enthusiasm.

Let nothing tina: / say convey the
impression that j do not recognize the
wonderful work done by these women

said Mrs. Gait in prefacing her argu-
ment on her motion. but / must admit
that l am more or less razzle-dazzled
by the relationship between the Con-
gressional Union, the Congressional
committee and the National association.

houe not.

Il am Tor one cause and an army

that the national association become
awake to the situation and carry on

committee by appointing one member

her time to this work"
Miss Jane AddamS who as first vice
president of the national association,
is a member of the board, thereupon
stepped into the breach and paid i
high compliment to the work of Miss
PauFs committee.
Out of Question.
There is no member Of the national
board who could afford to give all her
time to this work" said Miss Adams,
"and, furthermore, there are no MEM
bers so well qualified to steer this
amendment through Congress as those
who have already brought it to it's
present stage so successfully. ! am
afraid Mrs. Cats prposal Is out of the
question
Practically all the Washington suffra-
gists are members of the Congress
sionaI Union. and are lined up solidly
behind Miss Paul. One of the principal
tasks of the executive committee, which
is made I'D of about seventy-five of the
leading suffragists of the national as
sociation, Is to meet late today and re-
appoint a Congressional committee and
a strong fight will be made to have
them retain Miss Paul and her associ-
