The hole madeiby the Pretoria is about

y recent change i'm the steamship
lanes may have been responsible for
the collision. Captain Roberts i'm a

of about twenty five miles between the

that the Pretoria was pursuing the old

The cabin passengers are unanimous
in their praise of Captain Roberts and
his crew. That there was no panic was
due To the warnings sounded by the

There was the usual scramble to decks
of scantily clad passengers and many
amusing Incidents were related today.
Two fat men who had strapped ON

HOW DICTATOR HUERTA
BECAME PRESIDENT.


Huerta was in chief command of the
forces supporting Madero. He had
sworn fealty To Madero. one morning
Huerta took breakfast with a brother
IF President Madero in a public res
taurant i'm the city of Mexico. At the
end of the meal he arose, shook hands
with the man he had breakfasted with,
and beckoned to a squad of soldiers
that had been conveniently posted.
The presidents brother was FASTENED
to a prison and quickly dispatched.
Inspired by the success of that treacl-
cry, Huerta took his way to the Ma
tional palace, where he found Presi :

arrest by another squad of soldiers
that had been provided for the purpose.
once he had them in his power. HUI
crta proposed to them that they sign
deeds of resignation i'm consideration
Of his promise to give them "a safe con-
duct out of the country. Helpless, and
fearing they would be murdered If they
refused, they consented. But Huerta,
instead of fulfilling his promise to have
them conducted out Of the country,
had them assassinated as soon as night
came TO throw veil over the crime.
With the deed to the presidency OBJ
tanned by treachcry, perfdy and as
sassination, Huerta filled the chambers
OF the two houses of congress with
troops and coerced those bodies into
sanCtioning his crimes. These, told III
the fcwest word possible, are the cir
cumstances of IIuerta's triumph. 1t
was not a revolution, but a coup
d'etat; one invested with all the cruelty
and treachery Of a fiendish imagina-
ton. The sword was not the instru-
ment of Huerta's success, but the sti-
letto; and what made his use of it the
more revolving was that his victims
were those to whom he was under an
oath of fealty.-Dalas News.

est, and the twelfth to get into line.

that directly prepare students for
business are: Illinois, PENNSYLVANIA,
California, Northwestern, Wisconsin,
New York University. Dartmouth Col

The problems Of modern business
are becoming more and more complex.
so that for the logical and scientific
solution of these problems reasoning
powers are demanded which can be
developed only by a course of training
such as college or university gives.
Many problems involve not only a
knowledge Of business principles, but
also knowledge of economies and
even psychology. All these elements
can be properly studied only in n
school or university. but the student
must be made 10 realize the immense

Youth enthusiasm and worthy ideals.
They are fortified with "a substantial
fundamental education which it is
within their power TO apply in a way
that will render the best service TO So

to find the opportunity.
Opportunity always is somewhere at
