WASHINGTON. Feb 14--For nearly f've
years the United States Bureau OF Fish
cries has been engaged in a scientific In
vestigation of the wasted and neglected
food products of the sea with view to
Initiating a campaign of publicity and ad-
vertisement OF the numerous fishes mol
fuses and crustacoans of real edible value
in the open seas and landlocked waters
OF the United states. which have been
overlooked by fishermen and distributors
Of foodstuffs. II IL the belief OF the bu-
reau officials that the unwarranted waste
has been tremendous.
The practical results OF this work were
negligible until very recently. Now the
bureau Is prepared to begin its prepa-
ganda. The publicity campaign will be
jnaugurated with the coming or spring
and already the bureau has commenced
It's public demonstrations. For the pres
ent at least the system of demonstrations
will be confined to the New England
States. but the bureau has an ambitious
nationwide programme which will be de-
yeloped later.

HUERTA TOLD OF
PEACE AGREEMENT
Details of MediatorS' Plan
Submitted to Mexican
Dictator.

Mexico City, May 2I.-President
Huerta received by cable to-day a
comprehensive outline of the agree
ment reached between the Mexican and
American delegates at Niagara Falis.
Nothing is disclosed of the attitude
of the Huerta administration toward
this agreement, which consists of a
series Of compromises between the de-
sires of Huerta and his Cabinet and OF
the insistences Of the United States.
II is learned, however. that General
Huerta has been kept fully informed OF
the progress Of the mediation and that
the delegates have been advised from
time to time of his approval of their
course.
Although it was expected that the
three Cabinet vacancies would be filed
to-day, such was not the case. The
portfolio of Communications and Pub
lie Works was offered TO Telesforo
Ocampo. formerly penal judge, but it
was declined By him.
1t is proba able that the assistant sec
retaries will act as ministers for some
time in the Foreign Relations. Com
munications and Agricultural depart
ments.

Is Accepted.

Vera Cruz, May 27.-Reports reach
ing here to-day through private
sources declare that President Huerta
has specifically committed himself to
turn over the government to a COM
mission composed Of prominent mem
bers Of the various factions in the
Republic.
President Huerta is also said to
have agreed to relinquish power 10 any
successor whom such a commission
might select
The report says that Huerta's deter
mination has already been communi-
Gated 20 the Mexican delegates, and
probably directly to the Washington
government
The belief is held in the capital that
the Mexican peace delegates will be
named to represent the Huerta faction
on the proposed commission and that
they may return soon to Mexico city.
II is also thought that possibly the
representatives of the United States
and the 4 Il G nediators may accom-
pany them. and that the final plan for
the restoration OF peace and for a con-
stitutional election may be drafted in
Mexico City.

LUCKY Is" TRUCK
FALLS OUT OF LUCK
Racing to Fire, Men, Wagon
and Horses Drop Unhurt
Into Subway.

"I,uckv 13." one Of the famous trucks
of the Fire Department, with seven
men aboard and its three horses max
ing their best time, drove into the SUD-
vav excavation at Lexington av. ana
sgth st. last evening and brought dp
fifteen feet below the street. Not
man nor horse was killed, but there
was not quite luck enough LETT TO save
the old truck from wreck.
Three men were scratched and
bruised. but not badly injured. They
were Florence O'Sullivan. pilot;
Thomas Walsh and James Golden.
O'Sulivan was snapped out of his seat
on the rear of the truck and catapulte
twenty-five feet into the excavation.
The three horses escaped without a
mark, and their harnesses weren't even
disarranged.
Twice before yesterday the truck and
its crew had made the run up Lexins-
ton av. To six story tenement house
at 1876 East Goth st. The second call,
at 30 p. m, was so suspicious thai
fireman was left on guard. At 5:30
o'clock. however, another alarm came
in and "13" started.
The horses were going at full speed
when they hit the plank pavement at
the corner Of S9th st The first thing
O'Sulivan knew one OF the rear wheels
had fhrpnOh tho IA N
ping the steering wheel from his grasp
and tossing him into the air. Just then
the forward wheels and horses crashed
through and the truck. with every
man, went into the subway.
O'Sullivan landed in the hole out of
danger from the truck and the plung
ing horses. Walsh and Golden los.
their grips as the truck hit the bottom
and were thrown against the walls Of
the excavation. The horses lit on their
feet in some thick sand and stood
quietly.
Crowds that had been watching the
run almost created a real tragedy by
breaking in the remaining planking on
top of the truck and men. Reserves
took charge and kept the crowds back
while men and horses were raised from
the hole.
Traffic was tied up for nearly an
hour. Eventually the fire truck was
dragged out by titching it to a trolley
car. after the horses had been rescued.
Lucky l3' had been losing its luck
lately. Some weeks ago one OF its
horses butted his life out against an
elevated pillar, and a sequence OF near
accidents began, ending in the era sn
yesterday.
The fire in the tenement house Is be-
ing investigated The police are on
guard at the building.
