CHICAGO. May 2.-FrictiOn be-
tween woman suffrage leaders today
threatened the success of the big suf-
frage demonstration which will be held
here this afternoon and unless some
A b. G. pacificators get on the job in
q hurry, the parade hids fair to be
minus some of Chicago foremost Ia
borers in the cause
Jane t.ddams of Hull House fame,
and acting president of the National
American Woman's Suffrage assOcia-
ton, and Mrs. Joseph II. Bowen, one
of the leaders of the association. de-
clared today they would not partici-
pate, and Mrs. Medill Mccormick,
chairman of the congressional COM
mittee of the national body, is con-
templating not joining in the march.
The split in the ranks resulted from
the failure OF the Illinois women to
adopt resolutions upon request of the
national organization, to be presented
TO congress in support of a national
woman's suffrage. The national or
ganization blamed Grand Marshal
Grace Wilbur Trout.
Mrs. Trout, however. declared today
the parade, which starts at five o'clock
would be the greatest ont Of doors
demonstration by women ever held in
this country. despite the threatened
factiOnal defections. Ten thousand

VERA CRUZ, May Reports
from Mexico City that General Huerta
has forced his foreign minister, SenOr
PortillO Y Rojas, from the cabinet, and
has broken with his war minister,
General Banquet indicated today that
affairs are rapidly approaching chaos
in the capital.
Refugees report that there is a well
founded rumor in Mexico City that
General Huerta has made arrange
ments for his family TO flee. Some
believe that Huerta secretly sent his
wife and son and other relatives out
of the city on Wednesday, probably
toward ManzanillO, where the Jap
anese cruiser IdzumO is lying.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, former Am
erican charge d'affaires, who sailed for
Galveston last night with his family
on the naval tender GanktOn, should
arrive in Washington on Wednesday
night or Thursday.
There has been a wonderful change
IN sentiment toward the Americans
among the Mexican populace. and the
Mexican refugees who came here from
the interior. Implicit trust is being
put in the Americans who are coming
TO be looked upon as friends rather
than foreign invaders.
The most touching incidents were
those attending the release Of 100 pO-
litical prisoners from the 30O-year-
san Juan de Ulloa prison.
All the prisoners had been SEN
tennCed 10 life terms and they had
long since given up hope of ever again
breathing the air OF freedom. All OF
them We're in pitiful shape. verging
on insanity from the horrors of the
ancient dungeons Most Of them had
quarters under the harbOr. their only
light coming from smoky lanterns
which filled the cells with their fumes.
With prayers OF thanksgiving upon
their lips the prisoners, half blinded
by long confinement in darkness,
stumbled into the American lines,
throwing themselves UPON their faces
before their liberators. The youngest
prisoner in the prison was Jose Or
