Huerta States Terms.

Niagara Falls, Ont-General Huerta
is preparing to resign. He authorized
his representatives at the mediation
conference to announce to the world
that "enither mistaken pride nor per-
sonal interest" would prevent his
withdrawal when once Mexico is "po-
Htically pacified," and the government
succeeding his is SO constituted that
it can count on the support of public
opinion in Mexico. The Mexican del
egates in their formal statement re-
vealed that they had been instructed
to inform the mediators that General
Huerta's personality would not be an
obstacle toward reaching peaceful
settlement. They also stated that the
internal situation in Mexico was
necessarily bound up with the inter
national questions and that this spir-
it had actuated them in coming to
the mediation conference. Coincident
with the announcement by the Next
can delegates of their position, the
mediators sent a note by mail to
Rafael Zubaran Capmany, representa-
tive of General Carranza in Washing
ton, replying to the communication
brought here by Juan F. Urquidi.

And Now They Will Be Passed on to

Approval.

Washington Representative Adam
son of Georgia, chairman Of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, had charge of two Of the
three administration antitrust bills
that passed the house Friday.
The railroad stock and bonds pro.
vision was passed by vote of 325 to
IL, and the other unanimously. The
trust bill, with provision aimed at
interlocking directories, was in
charge of the chairman of the judici.
airy committee.
Representative Bartlett of South
Carolina was one of the four Demo
Gratis to vote against the stock and
bonds bill. This measure was attacked
because it would give complete control
over the big trunk lines to the inter
state commerce commission, it was
said, and deny the states any power to
regulate their securities.
These measures will be under con.
siderati6n for months in the senate.
That body is expected to change the
bills materially, just as it altered the
trust and currency bills which were
sent to the senate marked Rush"

WATcHMAN CAUSES PANIC
DYNAMITE FOUND UNDER OFFICE.
OF SECRETARY OF AGRicUL-
TURE IN WASHINGTON.
Panic Follows Discovery of Explosive
BY Waterman. Failed
To Work.

Washington. - Several hundred
clerks and officials fed in fright from
their offices in the department Of agri.
culture when Daniel v. Jauch, a
Waterman, scurried through the CORR
doris shouting that the building was
about to be destroyed by dynamite
Led by Jauch, several Of the cooler
head department officials ran to the
basement, where they found four sticks
of dynamite on which the fuses had
been burned out. APPARENTLY an ex.
plosion had been averted because the
fuses had been damned so tightly into
the defamation caps that the fire was
extinguished.
The dynamite had been placed di'
rectly beneath the office of Secretary
Houston. The secretary was out OF
rider from his office Assistant Secre-
tary Galloway and several other Of
ficials were working.
+ Jauch, who had suffered severe In
juries to his head while serving as a
soldier in the Philippines several years
ago, was taken to police station and
subjected to rigid questioning. Later
the police announced he had admitted
that he himself placed the explosives.
Department officials said they believed
the Waterman intended to discover
the dynamite before it could do harm,
hoping to win promotion for heroism.
Jauch has been employed for five
years in the department
Frequently he has been under treat
ment of physicians at the Soldiers
Home, and has been compelled to take
several leaves Of absence. The police
said Jauch told them that he purchas-
ed the dynamite in Springfield, Ohio,

GAME LAW FOR BULL BATS.

Washington.-Strict game laws in
the Southern states for protection of
the night hawk, or ''bull bat" whose
presence in cotton sections is declar-
ed to be of inest1mable value as a
check to the boil weevil, was recon-
mended in a special bulletin issued by
the department of agriculture. The
night hawk, with several sorts of swal-
lows, says the bulletin, feed on the
weevil while on the wing, while wrens
and martins render valuable service
to the farmer by picking the insects
from refuse in the cotton fields and
from growing plants. The department
declares the night hawks value to
sportsmen and as food is infnitesimal
compared to the benefit it renders cot
son growers.

HUERTA SUSPENDS
BLOCKADE ORDER.
MIA ACTION pisPELs APPREHEN-
s,oN OVER NEW CRISIS CEN
TERINe ON TAMP'co'
WAS A RELIEF TO WILSON
federal Gunboats Have Anchored IN
Pamico River Under General
Huerta's Instructions.

washington.-Genera Huerta's ac-
don suspending the order to BLOCKADE
Tampico against the delivery OF am
munition by the steamer Anulla 10
the Constitutionalists, served to DIS
mel apprehension over a new Crisis
between the United States and the
Huerta government which had threat
ened mediation of Mexican affairs.
Though Washington officials ex-
pressed satisfaction over Huerta's
action, 1t was persistently suggested
unofficiaHy that the blockade had
been suspended only condit1onally as
a result of conferences between tho
South American mediators and the
Mexican and American delegates at
Niagara Falls. It also was said the
Antilla might be diverted in her course
through an agreement with officials OF
the Ward Line, her owners and an
American corporation.
President Wilson and Secretaries
Bryan and Daniels gave evidence OF
great relief over the late develop
ments which temporarily at least,
have averted another clash at arms.
From no official source was there con-
f1rmation of reports that Huerta had
no understanding with the mediators
or the United States which would as
sure him that the Antilla's cargo
would not be delivered. Meanwhile
nothing has been heard from the An
tilla which is due to arrive off Tampi-
co Wednesday morning.
Secretary Bryan was first informed
ade order by Mr.. Riano, the Spanish
ambassador, early in the day. The
Secretary declined to discuss reports
from Niagara Falls that General
Huerta had merely suspended his
blockade order at the request of the
South American mediators, pending
settlement of questions relating to an
armistice.
One important question said to have
been raised at Niagara Falls was
whether the United States construed
the mediation agreement to obHgate
1T to prevent arms entering Tampico
which the Huerta government had de-
fclared closed. If the United States
did not so construe the cessation OF
possibilities, which it was assumed
would be held invio1ate, the mediators
are said to have wanted to know
whether this government would con-
slider it a breach of faith should
Huerta's gunboats attempt to stop the
Ant1lla's cargo of ammunition for Car
Tanza's forces.
