Huerta Is Said to Have Left
Mexico City at 4 Sun
day Morning
NO TRACE OF HIM
WAS FOUND TODAY
He Is Said to Have Gone to
Vera Cruz by Spe-
cial Train

Mexico, City, Dec. Provisional
President Huerta is reported to have left
here secretly yesterday morning for Vera
Cruz. The story originated with rail
road officials who claim to know General
Huerta's departure on special train at
four o'clock in the morning. The pres
ence of the Mexican foreign minister,
Querido Moheno, at Vera Cruz, is said to
have some connection with the plan of
Huerta to leave the country.
An investigation failed to find any
trace of Huerta in the federal capital
and no official confirmation of his de-
parture was of+ainable.
The city OF Torreon long in the
hands of the rebels, is about to be re-
taken by the federals, according to dis
patches received to-day by the war de-
partment. Military authorities say that
the re-occupation of Torreon will be a
great blow to the revolution as the city
is the key to the operations in four
states. General Velasco, the federalist,
who is leading the attack on Torreon, is
instructed to move on Durango after tax
ing possession of Torreon.

INDIANAPOLIS FACES
MORE TROUBLE
Teamsters' Union, One of the Strongest
in the City, Has Made Demands
Mayor Wallace Is Firm.

Indianapolis, Dec 1.-The teamsters'
union voted unanimously late last Sat
urday to 90 on strike at midnight.
The union which includes the commercial
chauffeurs is one of the strongest in the
city and has between 800 and 1000
members.
A special dispensation for milk
wagons, driven by union teamsters, was
made at the meeting on the suggestion
of Thomas ]. Farrell, general organizer
of the International Brotherhood of
Transfers. Chauifeurs Stablemen and
Helpers OF America. Drivers of hearses
are exempt from the strike order. Far
rell also announced there would be no
interference with the mail or other gov
eminent wagons or automobile, or with
the wagons or machines Of the express
companies. He said arrangements would
be made for delivering supplies to hos
pitfalls, so that there would be no added
suffering among the sick. Several en-
ployes have signed the agreement, but
their men will join the strike to make
-it more effective.
The men were ordered not to report at
their respective barns this morning but

Employers of teamsters, who are menu
bers of the National Vehicle Owners Pro-
tectiye association, have practically de-
cided to abandon all attempt to move
their wagons on the first interference.
They say they will put their wagons in
the barns and send their horses to the
country and await developments.
The demands of the teamsters were
drafted last Sunday and submitted to
the employers during the week. The
demands include a wage scale and
changes of working conditions which
vary according to the kind of work done.
The wage scale of drivers of horse wag
ons range from Sl3 to SIS week and
for chautfeurs from Sl4 to SIS week.
The hours of labor range from eight to
u hours a day. The union did not de-
mand "closed shop" but that there
should be no discrimination against
union men.
"We are here for business" declared
Mayor Wallace in an address to the
police Saturday night, "If any of you
men feel that you cannot do your duty
and obey orders, now is the time to get
out and not try to turn in your badge
later. | expect you men to keep the
streets clear and prevent rioting."

HUERTA HAS MONEY.
Mexico's Provisional President Is Not
Worrying About Funds.

Mexico City, Dec. 1.-The possible
treatment of the Mexican question by
President Wilson's coming message has
aroused considerable interest among the
Mexican government officials, but there
is a notable. absence of alarm because
of the deep-rooted conviction that nei-
ther intervention nor the supplying of
arms and ammunition to the rebels will
be recommended.
The continuation of the financial
blockade President Huerta will not re.
gard as a vital blow to his administra.
tion, however enfeebling it may be.
Anything short of these measures will
be regarded with comparative eompla.
cency by General Huerta, who is pre-
pared to pursue a dogged course of re-
sistance against his enemies, although
he realizes it means indefinite warfare
But his friends point out that, al
though the government may be bank
rupt, the provisional president is far
from being without funds and is not
likely to be entirely without money so
long as private institutions and corpora
tions possess funds. They are of the
opinion that the president will not fail
for the sake of what he considers right
to resort to forced loans. Indeed, per-
suasive methods have already been used,
and in several cases have borne marked
similarity to the forced loan system.
In the Mexican republic, there are
many men rated as milliouaires and sew
ersl large corporations whose properties
might be available for prospective taxa
tion. There are millions to be had for
the asking, and General Huerta's admir-
ers declare that he would be acting in
accordance with justice and his duty to
the country if he utilized this money for
defense.
Special taxes have already been an

VILLA BOASTS
OF INTENTIONS
Will Have Whole of Northern Mexico
Under His Control in Two Weeks
and Will Then March on
Mexico City.

Juarez, Mexico, Dec. l.--Gen. Francis
co Villa, Constitutionalst leader. said
yesterday that northern Mexico, en-
bracing the states of Sonora, chihuahua,
Coahuila Nueva Leon and Tamaulipas,
and including the territory from the
border to a line 500 miles southwark,
will be wholly under the authority of
the rebel forces within two weeks. The
forces which are fighting Huerta will
then join at Guadalajara with a view of
marching on to Mexico City.
This campaign, he said, contemplated
not only the capture of Chihuahua City,
but also the spreading of the Constitu-
tionalist authority further south.
He is to be joined in the interior later
by General Carranza, the head of the
revolutionary movement.
So far as the north is concerned, Villa
said, the campaign is between l4,500 fed
eral troops, mostly in garrisons, and
20,300 rebels, or Constitutionalists, in
garrisons or roaming the country.
In preparation for the attack on Chi
huahua City, $500 troops with l6 ma
chine guns and equipment which filled
three trains had left Juarez up to yes
terday, and had reached point so miles
south. Villa said he would be in Chi.
huahua City within 10 days.
Villa pointed out that the only i'm
portant points along the United States
border not held by the rebels now are
Nuevo Laredo, opposite Laredo, Texas,
and Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass,
Texas, and that his forces already had
captured the cities of the north except
Guayamas, Chihuahua City, Saltillo,
Monclova and Monterey.
Chihuahua City has been cut off from
communication for more than two
weeks. At that time it was said that
the federal forces had made every prepa.
ration to oppose the rebel attack. Al
most all the food supplies have been
exhausted there.

FIVE NEGLIGENCE CASES.
To Be Tried at December Term of Cal
edonia County Court.

st. Johnsbury, Dee. 1.-The December
term of Caledonia county court will con-
vene on Tuesday with Judge Frank l..
Fish of Vergennes presiding. As there

bury & Lake Champlain railroad and the
fifth against the Passumpsic Fiber Leath-
er company. The seven cases OF the
Williams Manufacturing company OF
Northampton, Mass. against as many in

panies win await the result of that case.
The plaintiff corporation brings suit for
payment of insurance as result OF the
destruction OF one ofsits mills at East
Haven.
There are only 10 cases in the court
calendar, an unusually short list, but
there are 80 state cases and 81 divorce
cases. In the "a ehancery cases is that
old case of James d. Bell at al VS.. the
Vermont division OF the Portland &
Ogdensburg r. r. This case was brought
by the father of the late Ex-Governor
Charles j. Bell in 1880 and has been
dragging along ever since. The suit ia
brought to recover for supplies furnished
the railroad. The plaintiff died over 90
years ago and all the others in the orig
inal suit are now represented by their

ADVOCATE FLEET
OF As VESSELS
Navy General Board Makes Recommen-
dations By Which To Continue
Several United States
Policies.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Admiral
Dewey's views of the naval program the
United States should adopt if it is to
guard its international policies in the
family of nations are transmitted to
President Wilson with the report of Sec
retary Daniels.
The admiral's views, which embody
the recommendations of the navy board,
are that the fleet should consist of 4S
battleships of the line before 1920 if
possible and that the building program
should begin this year with four dread
noughts, 10 destroyers, eight submarines
and minor craft. Admiral Dewey points
out that if four first-class ships were
laid down this year, they would not in
crease the strength of the navy, but
would only replace the Indiana, Massa-
chusetts, Oregon and Iowa, which he de-
clares should be withdrawn even from
the reserve line. Contending for a CON
tinuing building policy unaffected by po-
litical parties or change of administra-
tion he says:
"The general board does not believe
the nation stands ready to abandon or
modify any of these well-establis ma
Ional policies:
mo entangling alliances;
"The Monroe doctrine;
"The open door in the far East;
"Asiatic exclusion;
Exclusive military control of the
Panama canal and its contiguous wa
ters; and repeats its position that the
naval policy of the country should be to
possess a fleet powerful enough to pre-.
vent or answer any challenge to these
policies. The absolute strength neces-
sary to accomplish this is question
that depends upon the national policies
of prospective ehallengers and the force
they can bring against us and, hence. is
relative and varies with their naval poll
ices and building program.
"The forecast of the board with re-
gard to naval development in other coun-
tries has proved remarkably accurate.
The absence of any definite naval policy
on our part, except in the general board,
and the failure of the people, the Con-
gress, and the executive government to
the necessity for such a pol
icy, has already placed us in a position
of inferiority which may lead to war;
and this inferiority is progressive and
will continue to increase until the neces-
sity for a definite policy is recognized
and that policy put into operation.
"The general board, while adhering to
the policy il has consistently followed
for the past 10 years, and believing that
the naval needs of the nation call for
fleet of 4S ships of the first line in 1920.
conditions as they exist, and
the futility of hoping or expecting that
the ships and men its policy calls for
will be provided by 1920"
