HOW GEN. SCOTT
 TOOK MEXICO CITY

A master of the military art, Gen Scott took Mexico City, as he had won his way thither, by flanking the defense from the west and north.
 From position at Ayotla, half a days march southeast of the city the American scouts discovered the Lake TeXcoco, with strong out work at Fl Fenon, commanding the causeway.
 A flanking route was then adopted south of Lake Chalco, along which the army advanced almost without opposition, to Tlalpam, near1y ~uy south of the city and about ten miles away. Half way between lay the strong fortress of Churubusco beyond lava field impossible for artillery, amid marshes and difficult ground, and protected on the east by an arm of Lake Xochimilco ("field of flowers').'
 Scott flanked Churubusco as he had flanked Fl Penon, sending par, of his force to attack Contreras, southwest of Mexico City. At this point therefore, occurred the first general engagement in the vIoS IVY of the capital, but in half an hour ContreraS was taken.
 Gen. Grant afterward pronounced Scott's tactics in these operations as ''faultless." He beat off a force three times his own in defensive positions and. after taking Churubusco, could have entered the city had he not been checked by peace negotiations.
 It appeared that in these the Mex jeans joCkeyed to gain time. In Sep tembcr active operations were re- sumed On September s El Moline del Rey-tne Kings mill"-was taken in a brief engagement. Beyond lay Cha pultepec, then as now the sentinel o1 the city, and but two miles distant from the heart of it.
 Chapultepec is the high, rocky vide on which stands the famous Hall of the Montezumas," a palace partly Aztec, partly of Spanish con struction, then and now the subur- ban residence of the president of the republic On Chapultepec, also. is thf Mexican West Point; it's little cadets boys of wealthy Mexican families fought brsvely in deIense of the hill against Pillows force.
 In later years, as he says in his memoirs. Gen. Grant coasidered the actions at Molino del Key and Chap ultepec as unnecessary. After they had fallen there was still some fiehting along the western and north ern approaches of the city, but by the middle of September it was oc- cupied, and only desultory snipl1f hv euerillas continued. In the lign' of after experience Grant considered tho northern route preferable 10 the southern for turning the cjty's de lenses, but Scott had invaded a

HUERTA PLANS
 TO DIE GAMELY Will Make Last Stand at Puebla, Says Nelson
 O'Shaughnessy.
E ES END COMING
Charge d'Affaires Tells President Will son That Huerta Realizes He Can- not Hold Out Very Long
 Followers Few.

Washington, May 13-That General Huerta, preparing for crisis in his dictatorship has long been planning to leave Mexico City with his troops and make a last stand at Puebla, midway between Mexico City and Vera Cruz, was understood to have been told President Wilson last night by Nelson O'Shaughnessy former charge of the American embassy in the Mexican capital. Puebla is 70 miles east of Mexico City
 The President it is said, was in formed that Huerta had picked Puebla for his last refuge in case rebel assailants get too close to MeXl- co City, and that late developments in the revolution had caused him al- ready to begin fortifyilg and provis- ioning Puebla.
 O'Shaughness is said to have told the President that Huerta had no in tention of resigning, but that the Mexican dictator realized that his regime could not stand much longer. At Puebla, according to plans said to have been determined upon months ago, he would fight rather than consent to elimination.
 Realizing that he eventually must be deposed, Huerta, it is said, de- sires to acquire as much glory as possible before the inevitable hap pens..
 O'Shaughnessy is said further to have told the President that the num- Der of troops which Huerta has at his command is greatly exaggerated and that as a matter of fact the number only 4,OOO to 5000 men. Neither Zapato nor Villa would have an great difficulty in taking the city, in un- derstood to be very O'shaughnessy expressed.
 His information is along the line o1 other reports, reaching the govern | ment within the last few weeks. Fur | ther information from these sources is tahts Huerta has been shipping gold abroad. in contemplation of his ultimate exile.

CLARENCE PARKER
 WINS DISTINCTION
Pine Bluff Boy Named Com missioner of Insurance of
 Washington State.

Another Pine Bluff boy who is making good" in another part of the world is Clarence Parker, who was recently appointed commissioner of industrial insurance of the state of Washington.
 "That organized labor has abundant reason to felicitate itself on account of the appointment of Hon. Clarence Parker of Tacoma to the important position of commissioner of industrial insurance" is the opinion of the Seat tie Times, which says editorially:
 "As is we'll known, the board is made up of three members and the practice has been uniformly to choose each member as truly and specially representative. In this way labor has been recognized with a place on the board.
 ''It happens that MT. Parker, who is now in business for himself, for years was a prominent member of Ia coma Typographical union No. 170. By trade he is typesetter. He is glad to say that he obtained his start in life in the composing room

 "Therein undoubtedly lies the req son for compliment paid to him in the editorial comment of labor pa per published in Spokane, saying that the recent appointment made by Governor Lister has taken the "sting' away from the removal of the com missioner who has just been relieved of his place on the board.
 "It is evident, therefore, that the new appointment is entirely satisfac- tory.

 Mrs. Settlemyre was well known III Huntington county because of her great weight and her unusual good health. She went through all ordi- nary doors sideways, and never seem ed to be offended when curious per sons watched her movements.

DEFENSE IS THAT
 ROSE IS MURDERER
Becker's Counsel Indicates Theory That Will Be
 Advanced.

New York, May 13.-Charles Beck CTS lawyers hammered with the per sistence of a battering ram at the tes- timony of Jack Rose today for SIX hours without making any apprecla- ble inroad against the charge that Becker instigated the assassination or Herman Rosenthal, in the opinion of many who have followed the trial.
 Roses private life was torn to shreds and his answers to Attorney Manton's searching questions were drawn in such manner as to picture him a despicable creature of the un- derworld. He was slaf;e to admit that he had been a liar, a perjurer, gam bler. "stool pigeon" and dead-beat, but through it all clung to the main admission of his story.
 "Didn't your conscience prick you when you were planning the murder of Rosenthal?" asked MT. Manton as a climax to the cross examination.
 "No," answered Rose, mot at that time; my conscience was under the tie and control of Becker. Becker was my conscience
 The line of questioning followed by the counsel for the defense revealed for the first time the theory that Will be advanced in the effort to get an acouittal for Becker, and that is that Rose planned the murder.
