HUERTA,S RULE
is TOTTERING
Dictatorship in Mexico viii
Soon Collapse
MANY REBEL VICTORIES

Victoria Is Burned and Federal Off
GERS Put to Death-BIoWing Up of
Train and Massacre of 800 Men and
100 Women Reported.
Reports of Federal disasters in all
parts of the Republic indicate that
General Huerta's dictatorship is crum-
bling. The most conservative of OBJ
servers in Mexico City, Mex, say that
Christmas will see new government
in Mexico City.
1t is believed that Huerta sees the
handwriting on the wall, but is de-
termined to fight to the last. 1t Is his
policy to crush every suspected per-
son within his reach.
Fifty cases of typhoid fever were
reported in Mexico City. Conditions in
the capital are becoming alarming
The fuel and food shortage Is more
serious than was at first believed, and
the city may become famine stricken.
Reports from Tampico say that Vic
toria, capital of the state of Tamauli-
pas, has been razed and looted by the
rebels under General Pablo Gonzales
and General Jesus Carranza in the
face of an expected attack bB the
combined Federal forces under Gen
erals Guillermo, Navarette and Ocar-
anze
The reports indicate that the rebels
were thorough in their destruction OF
the city, leaving no stone upon anoth-
er, burning all houses and using dy-
Mantle in destroying anything that
resisted the flames.
Blood and family ties did not avail
to halt the vengeance of the Cons;l-
tptionalists when Federal officeholders
fell into their hands at the capture OF
Victoria. State as we'll as Federal Of
ficials were executed without quarter.
Among those slain was young civ
ilian, cousin of Enrique Caballero, a
leader of the rebels at Victoria and
one of the chief lieutenants of Venus
tiano Carranza. The young civilian
was condemned to die because he had
helped the Federal troops to defend
the city.
A further movement of rebel troops
from the district of Victoria toward
Tampico is reported. The telegraph
wires were cut at Gonzalez, sixty
miles northwest of Tampico.
By the capture and destruction OF
Victoria the rebels have attained COM
plete control of one of the two en-
frances to Tampico, and the line of re-
treat of the Federal forces Is such
that 1t will entirely eliminate them
from any effort made in the defense
of the city.
Another report received, but not yet
verified, is that troop train, carrying
300 Federals, under Lieutenant Pena;
100 women, known as soldideras, and
many children who were with the wo-
men, was blown up by dynamite be-
tween Laventura and San Salvador,
on the National railway.
Instantly after the explosion large
force of rebels surrounded the train
and massacred those who had sur
vived the dynamiting. The women and
children were all killed and every sel-
dier was shot. Only one man, a rail-
way telegraph operator, managed 10
e2cape.
The train was taking troops from
Vanegas to Saltillo to strengthen the
garrison, which is threatened with at
tack by hordes of rebels.

MAN KILLS BUCK AND
DOE AT ONE SHOT
Then Has Himself Fined and
Pays SIOO Penalty.

Because of the freak action OF q
bullet on the last day of the deer hunt
ing season, R. G. Yocum, of Mapleton,
near Carlisle. Pa, voluntarily laid IN
formation against himself and paid a
fine of 500 for shooting a doe he had
not aimed at.
Yocum had stationed himself at one
of the deer crossings on the mountain
near his home, when large buck
passed fired and hit the animal.
The bullet mortally wounded the buck,
but passed through its body on for
more than 100 yards and killed the
doe.
Old hunters say that such an incl
dent has not hitherto occurred IN the
shooting annals of Pennsylvania
Theer have been seven convictions
for the shooting Of does in the Cum
berland valley in the season just clos
ed. Many dead does, however, have
been found in the woods. abandoned
by careless hunters.

z.ELAYA HELD ON
MURDER CHARGE
Former Dictator Of Nicaragua
Arrested in Bed.
NOW LOCKED N A CELL

Detectives Force Their Way Into
Apartment and Take Him to Police
Station.
General Jose Santos Zelaya, for four
terms president of Nicaragua, and
now wanted in that country on the
charge of numbering two fellow coun-
trymen and also of stealing $11,5OO,
was remanded to the Tombs in New
York by United States Commissioner
John A. Shields for further hearing
Monday afternoon on warrant sworn
out by Chief Assistant United States
Attorney Robert B. Wood.
Zelaya was locked up in cell 119,
on the first tier along with accused
murderers and other prisoners, in
cluding William ]. Cummings, of the
Carnegie Trust company, who is but
a few cells away from him.
There he ats his Thanksgiving din
ner of chicken, mashed potatoes and
apple pie, while outside his friends and
lawyers were planning the beginning
of the fight which they hope will save
him from deportation to Nicaragua,
where, they assert, he would be going
to his death at the hands of his ene-
mics and as the result Of what they
term a political conspiracy"
General Zelaya himself denied that
he had anything to do with the kill
ing of the two Nicaraguans and his
son, Alfonso Zelaya, whose wife Is the
grandniece of General Robert E. Lee,
declared that his father was in this
predicament because the present pres
ident of Nicaragua, Adolfo Diaz, and
Manuel Estrada Cabrera, president OF
Guatemala, feared that the one time
indol of Nicarag qua would return to
his country, be reelected to his former
office and then make relevatiors
gravely rejecting on Diaz and Cab
rera and upon American politicians,
who are said to be in league with them
in vast schemes for the exploitation of
Central American property and indus
tries.
Zelaya was arrested in bed at mid
night on Wednesday night in the home
of Washington S. Valentine. Zelaya
had to be shaken to be aroused. He
opened his eyes in a stupid sort OF
way. Then. realizing that he was In
a trap, he sat bolt upright in bed and
demanded to know what was wanted
of him.
For answer the detectives told him
he was wanted for murder and pro-
duced the warrant. Zelaya expressed
the greatest surprise and was slow in
climbing out of bed He was told thai
he would be taken to a station house
for the night and advised to dress as
quickly as possible.
After he was dressed the detectives
caught him by the arms and he was
put on the elevator and taken to the
street. Zelaya demurred, but to no
avail. He was placed on a subway
train and taken down to the Green
wich station, where he was locked in
a cell for the rest of the night.

Man, 65, and Girl, IL, Want to Wed.
Judge Frank l. Duncan, of the cir
cult court in Baltimore, Md, declared
that no license would be issued for
the marriage of William Still, sixty
five years old, of Parkton, Baltimore
county, and his twelve-year-old house
keeper, Bertha Groves.
Judge Duncan explained that While
the law does not specify at what age
persons may marry with the consent
of their parents, his judgment would
make him forbid the granting OF the
license because of the tender age OF
the girl.
William Still, accompanied by the
girl, appeared at the ToTson court
house, and after showing the written
consent OF her parents to the mar
riage, asked for license. He was re-
fused because the paper was not sign
ed by two other witnesses.
