Huerta Gradually Gaining Confidence

Provisional President Victoriano
Huerta who was swept into Office on
a wave of bloodshed, has begun to
temper his Iron hand methods" by
making concessions to the chiefs of
the various insurgent bands. Taking
the advice of his counsellors in the
cabinet Huerta is satisfying as far as
possible the personal ambitions, by
promising them appointments TO the
army or promising them governor
ships.
Eufemio Zapata, brother OF Emil
iano Zapata, the insurgent leader in
MorelOs, has been promised the post
of governor of that state.
Emiliano Zapata and Pascual Oro2-
co, Jr.. are the latest recruits who
have deserted their insurgent banners
and pledged their loyalty 10 the gov
eminent. Orozco will be made an offic
er in the standing army and Zapata's
terms were as follows:
He will retain command of go horse-
men who shall be recognized as part
of the Mexican army. Zapata will not
be called on for service outside of the
state of Morelos, but will be kept
there to put down bandit risings.

1t came as severe shock to the
members of the senate committee on
state affairs TO learn that SO per cent

So and So contain substitutes for
leather and would be affected by a
measure requiring the labelling OF all
footwear in which substitutes for
leather are used. And yet this informa-
ton was brought out when a number
of shoe manufacturers appeared be-
fore the committee in opposition to
Senator Woodworth's bill.
The shoe manufacturers insist that
the so-called horn fiber" counters are
superior to leather and fiber boxes in
the toes OF the cheaper grades will
outwear cheap leather and are not
susceptible to water. They claim
substitute inner soles are just as good
and by their use better grade leather
may be used in the outer sole. They
claim it is better to use fiber substi-
tute in building up heels in cheap
shoes.
They argue that although leather
shoe can be made cheap, it will not
compare with the article containing
scientific substitutes and that any
thing marked as containing limitations
of substitutes would be ignored by the
buying public in spite of the fact that
it would be much better wearing
with the pure leather provision.

had left, and producing, indeed. sew

The house committee on education
reported out uniform text book bill
known as the Dunn-Young bill, which
provides for establishing the uniform
text book system in Michigan and
making it compulsory on every dis.
trict, except that districts may pur.
chase the books prescribed and furn,
fish them free to pupils. This action is
in direct contravention to the wishes
of majority Of the school boards OF
the state, their request being that
cities having or establishing the free
text book system, be exempted from
the provisions of the bill.
A majority of the committee was not
in favor OF this exemption, however,
bitter fight will be made on the floor
over this question and will be renewed
in the senate IL necessary. Rumors Of
scandal i'm connection with the school
book question have been current since
the first day of the session, but no
definite hint of what is being done
along this line has developed. Rep
resentatives of book companies are
here and a mass of literature has been
distributed among members at the ex-
pense of some one.
The substitute bill provides for a
text book commission consisting of the
governor, superintendent of public in
struction, president OF the agricultural
college and two members to be APP
pointed by the governor. This commits
sion will select the so-called basil

TEN covers all grades of the schools.
