Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 25.-
With the Minister of War
Banquet defying Huerta and
the Dictator submitting while
the business houses of the cap
ital city are being barricaded,
the foreigners in Mexico City
have sent word here that they
believe Huerta might not last a
week.
The break between Huerta and
Minister Banquet came Satur-
day with the discovery of an
alleged plot against the Dictat-
or. In rage Huerta hurried to
the penitentiary and ordered 100
political prisoners executed.
But before the order could be
carried out the minister of war
reached the prison and ordered
all prisoners returned to their
cells. Banquet is said to have
told Huerta that he must stop
the killing of his supposed enc
mics if he wanted Blanquet's
support in the present crisis.
Huerta then allowed Banquet
to countermand his execution
order.

knocks Out National Game Law

/! Little Rock, May 24.-Judge
i'rieber in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday handed
down his opinion in the case of
the United States against Shau-
yer, declaring the migratory
wild bird act passed by Congress
in 1918, unconstitutional. Con-
gress by the act sought to pro-
tect the migratory game in the
United States. The court holds
that the wild game, whether mi
gratory or local, are the sole
property of the states where
found, not in the proprietary
sense, but for the benefit of all
the people, and that the states a.
lone can enact legislation for
their protection. Judge Trieber
in his opinion holds that the
powers of congress are limited to
those granted by the constitu-
ton. either expressly or by ne
cessary implication; that the po-
lice powers over the internal af-
fairs of the states have been re-
tanned by them and congress
pr ssesses police power only as
to those subjects expressly
granted to it; that wild game
has always been recognized as
the property of the states and
subject to their control under
the police power; that nothing
IN the national constitution JUS
titles the construction which
grants to the nation any con-
troll over ne interest in the
game. In reply to the conten-
ton that the states are power
less to protect the game, the
court holds that this does not
justify the courts in extending
the powers of congress beyond
those granted by the constitu-
ton but that the people alone.
by an amendment to the consti-
tuition, can remedy that defect,
lif it exists. AS the question
one in which sportsmen all over
the United States are taking q
deep interest, and was lately the
subject of an extended debate
in the United States Senate, the
case will no doubt be appealed
to the supreme court, and there
authoritatively settled.

lade OF questions put to him. former
President Charles s. Mellen of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
rail Dad. today began before the In
terstate commerce commission what
is expected TO be. one Of the most
amazing stories ever told in the his
tory OF high finance.
More than an inkling OF Mr.. Mel
lens story was given by him durins
the brief hour he was on the stand.
He told how. In the acquisition OF the
New York. Westchester and Boston
.ailroad by the New Haven. 5000
shares Of the stock OF the latter were
given for $4,000 shares OF Westches-
.er's stock, although. he said, he con-
sidcred the latter stock worth only
ten cents a pound" The details OF
the exchange were a ranged, Mr.. Mel
len testified. by former Police Inspec-
tor Thomas F. Byrnes OF New York,
and he said he found hat much OF
the Westchester stock was made ont
in the names of people who did not
really hold Il.
Mr. Mellen testified that a. this
time the New Haven wanted certain
changes made in the proposed char
tie OF the Westches.er, and he had
eha aah. far
shares were scattered around among
people who had influence" He said
be wanted TO reach the devil or any
body that II was necessary to reach"
Mr. Mellen said that often when
the holders OF Westchester stock
came to him and asked 70. their re-
domption value, he did not always
have the cash with him and could not
make out checks or give them The
New Haven stock On these occa.
sions. he said, he gave them personal
due bills. About fifteen or twenty Of
the holders OF these, he testified had
come to him la.er. some after he re-
signed from the New Haven, and he
had given them the cash. He said he
had redeemed about $4,000 worth
of the due bills in this way, bu. that
there are now outstanding against
him the equivalent of $4,000.
While the examination was in Prog
ress. counsel for Mr.. Mellen made
public a long statement. dealing par
ticularly with the relations Of the
New Haven with the Grand Trunk.
This was not put in evidence. but l.
may be made part of the record late-
Chief Counsel Folk of the commits
sion. spent several hours this after
noon going over the documents with
Mr. Mellen, and said that when the
witness resumed the stand Tuesday
he would interrogate him moe fully
