ter Suarez of Chilli, one of the A. B. c. mediators at Niagara Falls, dis cussed the advisability of a commits sion. or junta to rule distracted Mexi- co, he spoke with the knowledge of one who has seen such a governing body lead nation out of the wilder ness.
 Chilli was under the control Of a three-headed junta in 1891 and since that date the country has been peace full and prosperous.
 The chief difference between the junta proposed at the Falls and Chili's commission was in mode of appoint ment. It was proposed by the pres ent mediators that the two warning factions in Mexico each appoint a member of the junta and the A. B. c. mediators the third. Chili's junta was appointed by the revolutionary heads.
 The members of the Chilean "Junta de Gobierno" were Jorge Montt, who had been a Chilean navy captain; Waldo Silva, and Barros Luco. They ruled with full power election of a president and his in stallation.
 The Chilean troubles started in q quarrel between J. M. Balmeceda, president of Chili, and majority in the congress. The latter objected to the president using his influence in favor of a certain candidate for the presidency. Six Chilean warships re- vclted and many of the congress leaders went aboard them. The revo- lutionary fleet sealed north and seiz- ed Iquique. The army supported the president and severe battles were fought, the rebels being victorious. The "Junta de Gobierno" was then established.
 The revolutionary army marched southward, Balmeceda resigned, the junta established headquarters at Santiago ,and order was swiftly re- inaugurated. @
 : The career of Dr.. Aureliano Ur- rutia,,. a pure blooded Indian and proud of it, is in many respects as worthy of study as that of General Huerta. Huerta and Urrutia give the lie to those who see the Mexican aborigine only dumb creature of no possibilities.
 Urrutia, the leading surgeon in | Mexico, was born in Xochimilco, a tiny Indian village in the suburbs of i the capital As boy he peddled bas- kets in the streets of Mexico City. n !! His parents were extremely poor In that wondrous land of plenty few starve and somehow or other Aureli- ano attended grammar school in | Xochililco. He didn't get very far. Then General Diaz established public schools in Mexico City and young Ur- rutia was one of the first Mexican boys to avail himself of this opportun- ity. He was graduated from the pub- lie schools and struggled through the medical school where he studied un- der Liciaga.
 Once a physician, Dr. Urrutia took up surgery. He advanced rapidly His reputation spread, for he was a man of great personality, iron will and vast intellect. He became known as Latin, Americas greatest surgeon He is also one of the wealthiest men in Mexico City.
 When Huerta came back after de- feating Orozco for Madero, he was without command, ill., penniless friendless, and suffering from a cata- ract which made him nearly blind Dr. Urrutia took the soldier to his sanitarium at Tlalpam and cut oil the. cataract successfully. They be- came close friends. When Huerta took the supreme power Dr. Urrutia received the portfolio of the interior He proved strongly anti-American and often declared in favor of war with the United States. He advised the scalpel for MexicoS troubles. Only strong measures would do, he said.
 He became known for the most atrocious cruelties, whether mighty or no. According to his enemies his surgeon training or his Indian nature steeled hi into all pity. At the time Senator Dominguez and Senator Bordes Mangel disappeared it was } openly charged that Dr. Urrutia had ordered them shot to death. He was } commonly known as "The Black Death" But he made mistake wher he arrested in his bed at midnight Manuel Calero chairman of the for l. can senate, and one of the most prom inent lawyers and politicians in Mexi- co. Twice Dr. Urrutia had Calero ar rested, thus violating the constitution giving members of congress immunity Senor Calero schemed successfully to achieve the surgeons downfall and in September General Huerta asked his friend to resign from the cabinet
 Urrutias influence grew less and less. He was forced to flee in the disguise of common laborer to Vera Cruz, seeking the protection of the soldiers of the nation which above all others he despised and later coming pto this country he hated as refuge.
 Congress is showing actually mur- derous traits in its treatment of the army and navy aviators. Its niggard- ly policy is killing off brave officers
