HUERTA RULES
MEXICO WITH
IRON HAND
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wlre.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The
United Press today received the
following dispatch from PrOvi-
sional President Huerta of Mexi-
co:
"Mexico City is in perfect Or
der. The entire country, without
exception, accepts the new con-
stitutional government which in
: tends to restore peace in order to
give all guarantees given In all
civilized countries. There is alb
solutely no risk of any new dis
orders that could put the lives
and interests of foreigners in
danger"

MEXICO CITY Feb. 25.-The
iron handed rule of Provisional
President Huerta today has Mex
leo City's populace under CONF
plete subjugation. There is an
under current of resentment
against the killing of former Pres
ident Francisco 1. Madero and
Vice President Suarez, but no one
. dares voice open disapproval. One
small newspaper attacked the Of
fetal version of the shooting. Its
entire edition was bought by
Huerta's agents and the plant
closed down.
The acceptance by American
Ambassador Wilson of the gov
ernment's version of the killing
of Madero and Suarez has re-
lieved Americans and other for
elgn residents here. They con-
sidered it a discreet move by
Wilson to not assist in any popu-
lar agitation.
Despite Huerta's repressive
measures, some slight detection
was reported today in the federal
garrison here. 1t was not of a
serious nature, however, and the
government officials have the sit
uation well in dispatch.

OU II IS CONTROLLER
'FESSES UP.
The question, who got Owen
Woods 100000, is answered.
Nick Lawson has it.
Woods did not spend within
100000 of his allowance by the
budget of 1912. When he came
to get the money the other day
to spend he discovered it was not
in the city strongboX. Somebody
had been there first. Owen could
not make it out.
Freeland insisted he did not
have it, the mayor admitted he
might have little off the end
of the pile, but not much; Mills
complained that $4,000 of his was
gone, too, so he was not guilty,
so the controller was called on to
tell where that 100000 paid in
by the people for owen Woods to
spend had gone.
Meads showed that Lawson was
on hand regularly every month to
collect his water and light bills
from the city. The general fund
paid him $5S,572 for water and
$S7,179 for light, making $145,-
752 in all. After Nick got this
money he slipped off and never
heard the city dunning him to pay
his interest bills. The water and
light departments are supposed to
pay the interest on the water and
light debt. But Nick wasn't
around when the bond holder
brought in his coupons, so the
money had to be taken from the
general fund, all but a measly lit
tie $6S, 1925. Here was a $45, 600
grab to start with, but that was
not the worst of it. The light
department even got $1,000 extra
on top of this.
This just about made up the
$50, 900 Woods is lamenting over
And the funny thing about il
all is Lawson never knew he had
it. And he has been imagining
his water and light departments
were pretty near keeping the
whole city up.

Briefly. the stringency of the capt.

due. firstly. to the Balkan war, which
seriously alarmed continental investors

European statesmen are now alive
to the necessities Of the situation and
are putting forth every effort to bring
about satisfactory settlement OF all

The distrust concerning American
