RESIGNATION is ACCEPTED BY MEXICAN
CONGRESS BY VOTE OF 121 TO II.
CARBAJAL THEN NAMED NEW PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON. July ib.-News OF
General Huerta's resignation a. pro
yislonal president OF Mexico WAS
hailed by official Washington tonight
a. the frst practical step toward a
quick solution Of the Mexican prob
lem.
Constitutionalists. diplomats ana OF.
hclals Of the knited States govern
ment did not conceal their satisfac.
ton over the fact that General Huerta
NJ last had voluntarily eliminated him
self from the situation and pointed
country.
Although the constitutionalists
have declared they would not recog.
nize Francisco CaTbajal as provisional
president any more than they did his
predecessor. and the United States
government likewise will refuse TO
recognize him. the understanding here
Is that the new executive will hold
onlce Tor but short term-only un-
al satisfactory arrangements can be
made for the entry OF General Car
rama. the constitutionalist chief.
Desire 20 Prevent Bloodshed.
From diplomats in close touch with
the situation ~ was learned that Mi.
Carbatal and those who are associated
with him in an effort to restore peace
IN Mexico desire only that a general
amnesty be declared. conserving the
hVes and property OF those who sup
ported Huerta. After this Is obtained
the peaceful entry into the Mexican
capital OF the Constitutionalist troops
Will be negotiated
General Huerta's retirement came
just as the Constitutionalists were pre-
pairing their formal answer to the
south American mediators rejecting
me invitation for informal conferences
win representative OF Huerta for the
discussion OF internal Mexican ques-
uons. While the ConstitutionailstS
are averse 10 holding conferences
hieh might recognize the legality of
'arbaJal position as provisional pres-
luent, hopes were raised today among
South American diplomats that never
iheless negotiations might be begun
between representatives OF Carranza
ana CarbaJal for the speedy transfer
OF power TO the Constitutionalists.
Carrsnza Would Profit
General Carranza. In the opinion of
the mediators. would profit greatly BY
entering into such conferences. Ry
doing so he might guarantee himself
immediate recognition by the United
states and the three-Argentina Bra
XII and Chile. Under the terms OF the
prtocols signed at Niagara Falls, the
United States promised TO recognize
any government set up by agreement
between the two Mexican factions
without waiting for an election.
Huerta's resignation marks the cul.
mlnauon of more than a years active
EFFORT on the part OF the United States
government to force his retirement.
John Lind was sent to Mexico last
summer in an EFFORT to bring about
the withdrawal OF Huerta President
Wilson later went TO congress and re-
yealed the terms on which Huerta
had practically been asked to retire
from office

MISTAKE COST NOMINATION.
Three Delegates Voted for Wrong
Man-A Champion Democrat.

Newton, May 30.-An instance how
close a candidate came to a nominal
ton and miss it by accident, was Civ
en- in the convention last Saturday.
On the ballot hat Newton gave a
solid vote for Mr.. Ed Little, the Mt.
Pleasant delegation instructed its
chairman to vote their three votes
for Little. h chairman by mis-
take, entirely unintentional, voted
them for Phillips. He and his asso-
ciates noticed it at nee but decided
not to ask for a correction as it was
not apparent that nomination would
be reached on that ballot. But the
footing up was Little AZ, just one
short. The three Mt. Pleasant votes,
but for the accident, would nave made
him the nominee for sheriff.
Something remarkable that We do
not believe can be duplicated by any
one in the county, is that Mr.. q. NJ.
Yoder has attended every Democratic
convention ever held in the county.
He is now lightweight years old.
The county was established in 1912
and the first convention was in 1884.
He has voted for every Democratic
candidate for President since that
time, though his vote for Horace
Greedy he sets down as his one de-
Walton from a straight line.

GREAT DRAINAGE
PROJECT ON FOOT
Forty Miles of Creeks To Be
Dredged and 5000 Acres Re-
claimed In Forsyth
Especial to The News and Observer

Winston-SaIem, May 3O.-With a
view to forming a drainage district
lying in Forsyth and Davidson coun-
ties to undertake the d. ,dging Of
forty miles of creeks and the drain
ing Of upwards of 5000 acres of fine
bottom land now practically useless,
the land owners in the proposed dis
trict %favoring the project have started
an action before clerk Of Superior
Court. r. E. TransOn, asking for for
nation of the district. The bond has
been filed and summonses have been
issued against ninety defendants and
placed in tie hands Of Sheriff Flynt
to be served during the coming week.
They are made returnable July 1st.
The creeks to be dredged are
Muddy creek, beginning at the Pfaff-
town bridge, Mill creek, beginning at
Southern railway trestle above Old
Town, Middle Fork creek, beginning
at upper Southbounda bridge and
South Fork creek, beginning on east
| side Of Mr.. Holton's farm. The three
last named creeks flow into Muddy
creek, which is tributary to the I'd
| kin river flowing about four miles Of
it's course through Davidson coun-
ty.
This is the greatest single dredging
project in point Of number of miles
undertaken SO far in the Piedmont
section Of the State; and there is
every indication to believe that it viii
be put through as out of the three
hundred landowners in the proposed
district only about ninety are indiffer-
ent or opposed to the proposit:or
enough not to have signed the peti-
ton. If put through, the dredging
Of these creeks will open up some
of the most valuable bottom land il
this section of the State, nue. o
which was at one time in cultivation
and was regarded as the corn crib o
this part of the country.

CATTLE BROUGHT $1,000.
Second Carload Shipped to St. Paul
Market by Merchants Association
Disposed Of At Good Price.
SEND ANOTHER ONE SOON

Bemidji farmers will receive $1,000
for the cattle they sent to the st.
Paul stock yards in the car of the
Merchants association last Saturday.
The animals brought the top price
being paid for grades.
Two oxen brought total of $126
while the following prices per
hundred for the rest of the car were
accepted; Gamers 1925; cutters, $3.-
65 to $3.75; killers or beef COWS,
$4.75; bologna bulls, $3.50; hogs,
$3.50, and hogs below hundred
pounds in weight $6.25.
These prices are considered very
good in view of the low market and
the farmers are much satisfied, as
is Bueford M. Gile, the agriculturist,
who accompanied the car to St. Paul
and had charge of the sale.
Mr.. Gile announcesthat twenty
head have already been listed for a
car which will be sent forward a
week from Saturday and all who
wish to have stock included should
so notify him at once. W. G. Schroe-
der will accompany the car.
This makes more than $4,000 in
cash which has been brought to Be-
midi during the last several weeks
through the sale Of grade cattle.
