San Francisco, June 3.-President
George II. Luchsinger Of the Humboldt
Savings Bank here was found dead to-
day in the basement Of his home with
the end of a gas tube in his mouth. He
had been dead several hours.
Luchsinger retired about o o'clock
last night and the condition Of his bed
indicates that he tossed for several
hours before leaving it. Except that
he had been suffering for some time
from nervous depression, there was mo-
thing in his manner when he was last
seen alive to indicate that he contem'
plated suicide.
So far as known, his relations with
the bank Of which he was head wero
perfectly regular.
The Institution, Assistant Cashier J
s. Curran stated, is very prosperous
and there was no reason why its af
fairs should have caused its president
the least uneasiness. The state banE
examiner went over its accounts {
month ago and found them to be in ex
eellent condition.

Luehsinger's body was found by
maid, who, arising soon after 7 q. m,
smelled gas, traced the odor to tn
basement, and on entering stumbled
over her employers corpse lying amids

vive the suicide but without avail.
One end of the gas tube was attaches
to an open jet. The other, which ha'
been detached from heater, was grip
between the bankers teeth. He wor
smoking jacket and trousers, which h
evidently aad slipped on when he lef
his bed.
The dead man was a pioneer in tn
western financial world and was rate
a millionaire. He is survived by
widow and several children. His ag

DECLARED HE ADVISED
HUERTA NOT TO SALUTE
Carranza Silent as to Query
Regarding Discussion Of
Internal Affairs

Torreon, Mex, June 3.-President
Huerta's war minister, General Blan-
quet, was reported here today to be on
the eve of seiziug the Mexico City die
tatorship and deporting Huerta.
The assertion was also made in con-
stitutionalist circles that documents
had been found at Saltillo duplicating
Francisco De La Barra, who has been
considered one Of the respectable men
identified with the Huerta government,
in the plot to overthrow the late Pres
ident Madero.
The further charge was made that
De La Barra and a Huertista secret
agent were with Huerta when Madero IS
death was planned.
Moreover, it was stated that it was
on De La Barra 8 advice that Huerta
refused to salute the American flag at
Tampico, the deliberate intention being
to provoke foreign Intervention in
Mexico, as preferable to defeat by the
rebels.

Peace in Rebel Hands.

Washington, June 3.-The opinion in
official circles here today was that the
question of peace or continued strife
in Mexico was now up to General Car
rama to answer.
The administration 8 view was that

pacified paved the way for the clear

Accepts Mediations Frankly.

After explaining that the Huerta
government accepted mediation in a
frank, open spirit, the statement con-
tinued:
CIT should be unnecessary to say
that President Huerta gave the Mexi-
can delegation special instructions not
to consent to anything which would
hurt the sovereignty of the Mexican
nation and to refuse hearing to any
thing which might be construed as an
imposition from the outside.
"To treat the interior paeification
of Mexico cannot be considered as sub
mitting the sovereignty of the nation
to an external influence, since pacifi-
cation is of necessity bound up with
international questions.
"This has been appreciated by the
Mexican delegation, and in setting
forth the intentions of its government
and in its endeavors to bring about
paeification, it has been inspired by the
knowledge that, without it, no salts
factory conclusion can be arrived at
on the international question.

INTERNAL TROUBLES
MUST Be CONSIDERED
Mexican Delegation Says Die
tatOr Accepted Mediation
in a Frank Spirit
By Fred s. Ferguson.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 3.-Presi-
dent Huerta s announcement that he is
ready to retire when Mexico is ''paci-
fled politically" was believed here to-
day to mean that the Washington ad-
ministration must bring strong pressure
to bear on General Carranza to agree to
an armistice.
Interested to know just what Huerta
meant by "pacified," the administra-
tion learned that he meant the restor-
alton of peace, the termination of arm
ed revolt and the disappearance of the
rebel forces from the field, but that
he did not expect the dispersal of all
disorganized bands as a preliminary to
his retirement.
General Carranza s final answer was
awaited with the deepest interest.
ENJOYS Make Statements.
"In accordance with instructions
which the Mexican delegation have had
since the beginning of the peace ne
gotiations," said the statement given
out by the Hueratista ENJOYS last night,
"its members declared at the full con-
ference that President Huerta IS person
ality is not an obstacle to the reaching
OF satisfactory conclusion.
General Huerta is prepared to with

tion that, at the time of his withdrawal
Mexico shall be politically pacified and
the government succeeding his shall be
such as may count on the aequiescence
and support Of public opinion.
cit has been and is President Huer-
ta's wish to place it on record that
neither mistaken pride nor personal in

Crude Cannon,

During the insurrectionary war car.
ried on in Cuba against the rule of
Spain the insurgents. being in need of
artillery, constructed cannon of
wood. A piece of tree. five feet in
length and one foot in diameter, was
placed on trestles and bore burned
in it by means of white hot iron pipes.
This weapon was bound around with
OK hides cut into long strips. 1t was
fired over 100 times before it burst,
the projectiles used being fragments
of iron, stones and fire hardened clay
balls.
Paper cannons have been used by the
Chinese in warfare. The cannons were
made of paper. hardened and tougher
ed by means of litharge. wax, tallow
and white lead and fashioned in the
shape of a long tube. A steel core
was then inserted, the exterior being
bound with wire and rope and steel
bands added for extra strength
