Especial Dispatch to The CalD
MEXICO CITY. Feb. 27.-Generat
Huerta has established semblance
of order in the federal district.
Any opposition to the new regime
dares not make itself apparent-at
least within reach of the arms of the
federal government
Private advices from outside ind-
cate that there is much more dissatis-
faction with the Huerta -Diaz govern
ment than officially is acknowledged.
Some of the rebel leaders have given
submission. but from Yucatan to So
nora there is a growing unrest which
presages i'll for the future.
Despite the fact that Madero was so
iamen able a failure as president. the
sentiment which made him successful
against Don Porfirio Diaz still exists.
and as it becomes more evident that
the influences back of the old Diaz
regime apparently are all powerful
with this regime. and that the old Diaz
ernment, it is evident that the elements
are present for trouble. and when the
right time comes Huerta will be called
upon to battle for his life
HUERTA ALLY OF DIAZ
An ugly report is current here today
that Huerta was an ally of Diaz from
the very first of the recent revolution
and that he really was responsible for
the liberation OF Diaz and Reyes
According to this story, Huerta re-
mained In command of the Madero
forces only because he could send into
action those whose loyalty to Madero
could not be tampered with and have
them either killed or demoralized by
the guns OF the Felicistas.
Whether there is any truth in this
story is a question which none but
Huerta and Diaz can answer, but it is
accepted by many people here.
Efforts are being made to get Pas
cual Orozco and Emilio Zapata to come
to Mexico City and make their peace
with the government.
accept the invitation.
If he does. it is predicted that he will
never leave the city alive.
The same applies to Zapata
They are too dangerous and unre-
liable to warrant Huerta letting them
get away once he has them In his
power.
WASHINGTON is DISAPPOINTING
Much disappointment is felt over
the failure of the United States 10 rec
ognize the new government.
When Ambassador Wilson recon-
mended that Huerta be recognized It
was thought Washington would act
promptly on the recommendation.
That this has not been so worries

The inspectors usually weighed one

PELKEY TRIAL BEGINS
AND MOVES RAPIDLY

Calgary, Alta, June 20.-The trial Of
Arthur Pelkey, charged with causing
the death of Luther McCarty in the
Ipriez ring here May "a, moved rapidly
yesterday and two hours after the op.
ening jury had been selected. When
adjournment was taken four witnesses
had been examined.
William McCarney, McCarty's man.
ager, testified in detail regarding the
fatal contest. DR.. H. Moshier, who
conducted the autopsy, and decided
death was caused by blow to the jaw,
gave extensive medical evidence. Ref,
cree Eddie Smith, of Chicago, and Jo.
seph Price, local newspaper man, also
were examined
McCarty was in excellent condition
when he entered the ring, according to
McCarney's testimony.
The testimony of DR.. Moshier re.
mained unbroken under more than two
hours of rapid.fire questioning by at.
torneys for the defense, He maintained
that in his opinion death was due to a
slight dislocation of the fourth cervi.
cal vertebrae which resulted in hem.
orrhage. The hemorrhage he said
caused a eliot of blood on the spinal
canal and pressure on the brain.
An agreement had been made before
the trial that the jury should determine
whether the contest of May "a was a
boxing match or a prize fight. Crown
Prosecutor James Short said that Pei.
keys blow struck McCarty on the Jaw
and dislocated his neck, as result Of
which McCarty died.
of a boxing contest" =" he declared
"Pelkey might not be guilty, if a prize
fight it was illegal and Pelkey, if he
struck the blow, was guilty of man
slaughter"

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
SAID TO Be PLAN
Man From Whose Body Sixty Shots
Were Picked Feels That He Is
Entitled to Something.

Hillsboro, Or. June 20.-A petition
was filed in county court yesterday by
C. B. Stokes, of Forest Grove, asking
Judge D. B. Reasoner to appoint a
guardian for William C. Geiger, who
was examined for insanity some months
ago. The peculiar thing about the case
is the fact that Stokes was shot by
Geiger last fall when Stokes was pass
ing the Geiger residence between For
est Grove and Cornelius.
Stokes was leading a cow, and Geiger
who imagined someone was robbing his
chickenyard, fired two charges from a
shotgun into Stokes. Geiger was
brought to Hillsboro and adjudged in
sane. but as he was lucid on all other
subjects excet his alleged poultry loss
es. the court allowed him to remain in
the custody of brother, Lincoln Gel
ger of Cornelius.
Geiger offered to pay Stokes surgi'
cal bill and all expenses and to secure
Stokes against permanent disability in
case it ensued. He made deed Of
trust to J. A. Thornburgh, of the For
est Grove National Bank, TbOrnburgh
to act as trustee, and see that Stokes
suffered no financial loss.
Stokes has never recovered, and 1t Is
said that over 60 shot were picked from
his body.
Stokes, it is said has filed the petit
tion so he can legally sue for damages
If Geiger is still declared to be insane
he can sue the estate, and if he be le-
clared sane, he will sue Geiger in per
son.
Geiger is bachelor and son of the
late DR.. Geiger, a pioneer of 1899.
Stokes was for years the Wells Fargo
agent at Forest Grove. Geiger is worth
about $4,000.

SPORTS
CoFFRoTH WILL TAKE UP
MATCH DETAILS MONDAY

San Francisco, June 20.-When Pro-
moter Jim Coffroth returns from Santa
Cruz next Monday or Tuesday, he will
at once take up the details of the pro-
posed Bud Anderson Harlem Tommy
Murphy match, which is as good as
fixed for August. Manager Dick Don
aid ard Coffroth have practically
closed the deal here. While all of the
terms were not agreed to, very little
stands between them and as both are
anxious to make the match they will
not permit little difference to stand
between them.
Donald is extremely anxious to have
his boy perform here, as it would give
his northern sdmirer's s a better chance
to take in the fight.
"Mueh larger delegations would
come from Portland and Medford to
San Francisco than would go to Los
Angeles because of the saving in time
and expense" said Donald before leav-
ing for Los Angeles. "For that reason
San Francisco suits me far better than
the south"
Donald has a Labor day or Admission
day fight in sight and for that reason
asked Coffroth to set the Anderson.
Murphy fight for early in August, to
give Bud a chance to rest and get
into shape for his September bout.
