According to Report of United States
Revenue Agents Just Issued.

An increase of approximately 300 per
cent in the number of illicit distilleries

into effect is shown in a report sent to
the internal revenue department at
Washington by J. II. Surber, revenue
agent of Atlanta, for the fiscal year
ending June 10 last.
Surber charges the difference was
caused by the increased demand for liq-
uor, and says the moonshiners are get

had been able to sell for only 81.
Surber has jurisdiction over Georgia,
Alabama and Florida.
In these states his men destroyed
1901 stills and made cases against .l53
persons, two of whom were women.
Georgia mountaineers operated e4s of
those establishments, it is said. In

President Huerta said that his

dent Huerta is quoted as saying, but

Huerta went on TO say that anyway

such fight would have its uses. II
he yielded, he said, he would be de-

generations.
General Huerta predicted that there

The revolution in Mexico, he de-

American war. The United States
had not only provided the rebels with
arms, but men. Whole companies OF
Americans in the uniform of the
United States army had fought under
General Villa at Torreon.
President Huerta declared that more

elsewhere. The bloodstained clothing

FOLK INSISTS ON
CALLING MELLEN
Former New Haven Head Must
Tell Story, Despite Nc
ReynoIds's Protest.
Especial to the Evening star.l

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Despite
objections of Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS, former President Mellen,
of the New Haven railroad, must
divulge his story of high finance" ;"
This was emphatically stated today
by Solicitor Folk, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. He is going
ahead with his plan to quiz Mellen
and William Rockefeller, George #.
Baker and Louis Cass Ledyard, of
the New Haven directorate.
Folk doubted today whether he
could put Mellen on the stand be-
fore tomorrow. Judge Grim, Mel
lens counsel, said Mellen was ready
at any time ito explain everything.
This has been interpreted by the
commission to mean that Mellen VIII
expose all the alleged deals OF the
road.
Delay in examining Mellen, Folk
intimated, was not because of Nc
REYNOLDS protests. Folk said much
time was needed to examine the doc
uments submitted by Mellen to map
out a plan of inquiry.
Louis Cass Ledyard and Mellen
were both in the city awaiting to be
called to the witness stand.
When the hearing was resumed to-
day, Timothy e. Byrnes, former vice
president of the New Haven, was
called to the stand for re-examina-
ion. His early testimony showed the
nublicity activities of the New Ha-
ven. Folk introduced many vouchers
showing expenditures in the rail-
roads campaign to prevent the Grand
Trunk Railroad from extending Its
lines into Boston.
81 am willing and ready to tell al"
was the statement of Ledyard upon
his arrival today.

OF a rebel leader and shot down. He
will flee to Puebla and in that strong
hold guard his life against the as
sault of the revolutionary hosts until
the American army can come and
get him.
Arms and ammunition have been
sent to Puebla in great quantities.
It is well located for the purpose OF
defense. In the state of Puebla,
near Tlascala, in the mountain
passes and gorges, the dictator's
small force of loyal men could stand
off an army greatly outnumbering
them long enough to permit the
Americans to reach the scene.

Should Huerta succeed in reaching
Puebla. as he plans and the rebels
attack him there, 1t would be not
the first time the city has witnessed
war. 1t was at Puebla that General
Porfirio Diaz, the deposed distator,
won his most brilliant victory as an
army officer May 2, 1861 Back in
1872 Augustin Iturbid, later crowned
emperor. captured the city. There
Diaz and General Zaragoza defeated
the army of Napoleon III, in 1852.
In 1S47 General Scott and bis Ameri-
can forcer captured the city. 1t was
captured by the French in 1867 only
to be recaptured by the Mexican
forces a few days later.
General Huerta has given the
peace delegates now on the high seas
no instructions. They do not know
what policy they shall be instructed
to follow before the mediators.
Huerta told them their Instructions
would be handed to them in New
York.
Senior Elguero showed that he was
extremely desirous Of knowing the
feeling of the American public. While
here he interrogated several Ameri-
cans. He was told by one American
that the public would be satisfied II
Huerta abdicated.

II don't know whether we can go
that far or not" Elguer replied.
I can't tell until We get to New York
how far President Huerta is willing
to co.
Up to the time of sailing representa-
tives of the English oil syndicates
having interests in Mexico remained
with the mediation delegates. These
officials showered attentions upon the
Huerta representatives. 1t was de-
clared here today to overemphasize
the influence of the English oil inter-
ests over Rodriques and Elguerro.
