HUERTA CAUSES AR
REST OF DEPUTIES
Had Signed Resolutions of Warning
To President-Big Battle
Reported.

Mexico City, Oct. 1l.-One hun
dred and ten members of the cham
Der of deputies who had signed reso-
lutions of warning to President
Huerta as the result of the disap-
pearance of DR.. Belisaro Dominguez,
senator for Chiahpas, Thursday
night, were arrested last night and
lodged in the penitentiary. Five
other deputies who signed the reso-
luton were absent last night when
Gordon of troops was thrown about
the legislative building and several
hundred soldiers invaded the cham
Der.
The arrests followed a demand by
President Huerta that the chamber
withdraw the resolution, which car
ried the threat that the deputies
would abandon the capitol owing to
an alleged lack of guarantee for
their personal safety.
Senator Dominguez early in the
month made a speech in the senate
violently attacking Huerta, saying
that not only had nothing been done
during Huerta's regime toward the
pacifcation of the country, but that
the present situation in the republic
was infinitely worse than before. He
said the currency of Mexico had de-
preciated, fields had been neglected
and towns RACED and that famine
threatened. He added that the sit
uation was due first and foremost to
the fact that the Mexican people
could not resign themselves to be
governed by Huerta.

Says Views Expressed Are Not
Those of General
Public.
THE SENATORS ARE EMPHATIC
Claim Meeting Was for Purpose Of
Making Opposition to Cur
rency Bill.
THE SENATORS ARE EMPHATIC

| Washington, D. c., Oct. 1O.-A
concerted defense by administr alton
forces against the criticisms of the
currency reform bill by bankers at
the Boston convention of the Ameri-
can Bankers association and against
effort to hinder it's consideration and
passage served to clear the air in
| Washington today and to inspire a
new feeling of confidence tonight in
democratic circles.
A senate debate, in which the
bankers criticisms came in for sharp
answer from friends of the bill on
the senate floor, found it's echo later
| in the day when President Wilson
made plain to callers his own view
of the recent developments surround
ing the bill.
The president let it be known
that he did not think the views CT
the Boston bankers convention, as
they bore on the currency bill now
| before the senate, represented the
general public sentiment of the
country. In the presidents view,
the attacks made on the bill by the
Boston conference represented the
~ vi ~ hn ho1S RI
to be acting with sincerity, but who
as individuals refused to yield their
position of control of the country's
! financial system.
The expressions in the senate
were more emphatic.
81 think this Boston meeting had
for it's obvious purpose to work up
deposition to this BILL said Senator
lOwen, "and either to force the bank
ers view, or to delay or defeat this
bill"
Senator Thomas charged that mis-
representation of President Wilson
was part Of a conspiracy agains,
any financial legislation whatever
except such as can be dictated by
the interests that have long con-
trolled financial affairs in this coun-
| try" He quoted statement OF
Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the
National City bank, New York, tina,
the administration bill must be
! changed" and denounced it as "arro-
CANT
| Senator Overman declared the Bos-
] ton conference did not reflect the
views of the general public; and Sen
ator Owen answering a question by
| his democratic colleagues. said he be-
lieved there was an organized prOpa-
ganda against the bill that found its
| reflection in the Boston conference
and in the various state bankers
conventions which have adopted res
olutions criticising the currency
measure.
The results Of the senate deb ate
and Of the later discussions by the
president with visitors at the White
house were to develop the following
facts:
That no effort will be made to
make the currency bill a party meas
ure in the senate. unless it becomes
impossible to get it through in any
other way
That the president believes early
action on the bill is essential, while
many democratic senator's will op-
pose any effort to unduly force the
situation.
That the criticism Of the Boston
bankers conference has tended to
solidify the democratic ranks in sup
port of the bill.

SAGE TEA - bULPHUR TURNS
GRAY, FADED HAIR DARK

Almost everyone knows that Sage

ed, streakcd or gray; also ends dand-
ruff, itching scalp anil stops falling
hair. Years ago the only way to gel
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "WyGths Sage ana Sui.
plur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about 90 cents. Nv
rrybody uses this old,@famoEs recipe
because no one can possibly tell that
you Iarkcncd your hair, as ii does 1t
so naturally and evenly. You damp
en- sponge or soft brush with 1t ana
draw this through your hair, taking
enc small strand at time; by morn
Ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two
your hair becomes beautifully dark
