Iitit que desarrollara su jefe a!

pGblica:
Para aceptar ell plan de la
presidential provisional en- Next
CO, seria necesario reformar por
completo ell Plan de Guadalupe y
obtener para clio ell corsentimien
to de todos les generates, 10 que
no seria possible. Ell Presidente
provisional Sc veria obligado d
obrar de acuerdo con las obliga
clones Y derechos definidos per
la Constitution y no podria &c
bernar sin ser objeto de ataques
0 provocar una oposici6n armada,
al aplicar leyes que Sc hacian ne
cesarias para las condolences So
ciaIes del pueblo meXicano.
"Venustiano Carranza esta de
seoso de llevar q cabo ciertas re-
formas urgentes, en- las que es
tan comprendidas Ia abolici6n de
ciertos empleados de las compa.
Mas que tienden a convertir en-
pe6n al trabajador; ell gobierno
interior de las undergraduates;
reformas en- las leyes &c cODtri-
buciones sobre terrenos y en- las
tarifas comerciales para que este
ramo sea libre; reformas en- los
c6digos civiles y penales y otras
leyes que con ellos Sc r%elaciOnan.
Estas reformas no podran poner-
sc en- vig0r hasta que quede res
tabIecido ell orden Constitutional
y hasta que mas tarde sean rati
fcadas Dor ell Congreso"
Fabela expres6 francamente
su opinion diciendo que: I've
nustiano Carrsnza es ell Gnico
hombre que actualmente goza de
la confianza pGblica y cue pOsee
I'm conocimiento exacto de las ne
cesidades del pueblo, s~ufclente
para garantizar Ia trascendental
tarea que ha emprendido de di
rector de la cosa pdbIica."
Hay que acabar con los federaIes
Fabela continue diciendo: La
p~residencia provisional estableci-
da bajo ciertas condolences deja-
ria al ejercito federal armada y
sin castigo, 10 que seria una gra
We amenaza, Y era possible que
diera por resultado Ia reanuda-
ci6n de las hostilidades, tai como
ocurri6 entire ell Libertador y las
fuerzas federales con las notableS
defecciones de Veracruz y de la
ciudad de Mexico.
Eel obieto que Carranza per
sigue -Sigui6 diciendo Fabela- es
TRAFALGAR por obtener Ia paz bajo
s6lidas bases y continuar Ia lu-
cha hasta lIegar a csc resultado,
que p~robablemente Sc cOnseguira
por uno de los siguientes medios:
"Por la Unconditional rendi-
ci6n de Huerta Y sus tropas, en-
cuyo case mas tarde Sc decidira
ell castigo que debia impon6rseles,
O por la derrota completa- del
ej6rcito federal, oblig&ndolo a
huir a esconderse en- ell interior
de Ia Rep1blica. De esta name
ra los jefes y ofciales militares
que en- su mayor parte han sido
obligados a prestar sus s%ervlclos,
podrian volver a entrar en- fun
clones con ell nuevo Gobierno."
Sc juzgaria a los prisioneroS
''Todos los iefes y tropas que
cayeran prisioneros serian juzga'
dos de conformidad con Ia ley.
En- esta forma, ell enemigo seria
practicamente aniquilado y las

que Sc retiraran a las montanas

ENTIRE NATION
 USES MORPHINE
Frightful Conditions In Amur Region, Where
 Clubs Propagate Habit.

St. Petersburg, May 13.-Universal morphinism is impending along the inhabitants of the Amur region. The frightful conditions already prevail ing there were described today by Dr. Starokotnizky, director of the psychiatric sectio nof the Medical Society of Blagovestchensk.
 The disease embraces all classes and has spread into the villages. Old men and children as young as nine years old have become victims. In the prisons of the Amur territory, 300 of each 1000 inmates are certified as morphine victims.
 The drug is sold all over the coun- try by Chinese peddlers, and the pro- hibition of its sale by apothecaries has had no effect.so
 A strange feature is the habit of those who have money and have given way to the drug of furnishing it to those who are too poor to buy. There are secret clubs which propagate the habit. People may be seen in the open streets injecting morphine into them selves.
 Dr. Starokotnizy speaks of men collecting twenty to twenty-five troubles a day and buying morphine for those who are craving for it. In the town of Blagovestohensk alone, he reports that from 1,500 to 2,O0C grammes of morphine are sold daily

PORCELAIN SHIPS
 BRI70N'S SCHEME
Inventor Asserts They Would Last Forever and
 Be Cheaper.

London, May 13.-M. Hale Turner of Gravesend today made public a daring scheme to build big ships oi porcelain He believes liners of porce- lain driven by petroleum derivatives will some day oust steam-drien ships of steel and wood.
 After forty years of labor and ar expenditure of S500,000 he has dis coered how to manufacture plate porcelain at $35 a ton in any size ur to ten by fifteen feet. He would make all parts of his ship porcelain except the framework and sides.
 Mir. Turner points out the advan- tage of the new material as regards cheapness, cleanliness and perman- ence
 1t is cheaper than any of it's riv- als; it harbors no vermin, it can be cleaned by washing, the decoration can be supplied at the time of manu- facture, and will never need renew ing. and it will never need painting.
 Such a ship could be washed uI like china cup.
 Porcelain is practically everlasting Tiles at Nankin 1000 years old are as good as new. If ships hull had tc be scrapped the porcelain could be taken out and used for another vessel
 In addition fire risks could be re- duced to a minimum and fire lnsur- ance premiums reduced.
 "It would require a $300,00O factory to manufacture plate porcelain on standardized lines of ships use, "sai6 Mir. Turner "and as the climate or the Thames is favorable, also the cos of raw materials, why not once more build our ocean liners there?'

ALAbAMIANS HIRE ONE CONGRESSMAN Huddleston, Underwood's Successor, Not Like
 House Leader.
ADVANCED FROM FLOW
Temperamentally and by Breeding, HuddlestOn is Man of People Who Has Fought for Masses for
 Long Time.

Birmingham, Ala. May 13.-I heard you people wanted to hire a congress- man, so have come down to see if I can get the job."
 He got it.
 This is how George Huddleston ap- piled for Oscar Underwood's job as congressman from the ninth Alabama district, and the manner of applica- tion and the results are characteristic of Huddleston. He is as unlike Under wood as a gatling gun is to a silk hat.
 Underwood is large man physi- cally, temperamentally reserved, suave and polished of manner, and rather distinguished in appearance. Huddleston is little, frail-looking man, without social gloss, and utter ly lacking in the physical character istics that are supposed to adorn those of his aggressive, fighting tenn perament.
 When Underwood wants anything he proceeds cautiously, pulling a wire here and string there, eventually landing what he started out to get When Huddleston wants anything he goes after it like he went after the job as congressman. So far he has 1 always brought home the bacon.
 Self-Made Man. 1 Huddleston is forty-four years old and has the proverbial advantage of 1 having been born in the country. His education started at the age of nine when he took up the study of how to make old Beck blow a straight fur row. At fourteen he graduated from the plowhandle and started driving a peddler's wagon. At 20 he had saved enough money to go to law school. When he graduated from there he hung up his shingle in Birmingham and has been here ever since.
 The only political position Huddle- ston ever held before was alderman. That was several years ago before Birmingham adopted commission gov ernment. He was elected on a reform ticket and promptly sWatted the city l ring so hard it never recovered. He whipped the street railway monopoly, 1 forced lower car fares and electric light rates, and opened up several streets that had been usurped by big corporations. He made the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company move a mountain of slag from the center of the city and abate it's smoke nuisance.
 Man of the People.
 Temperamentally and by breeding, MT. Huddleston is man of the masses. He believes in them, hobnobs with them, eats and sleeps with them, and fights for them. The referendum and recall are among his hobbies. He not only advocates President Wilson's proposed presidential primary but goes the president one better-he fav- ors the recall of presidents, and all other public officers including the ju- dietary.
 It has been charged that Mr. Un- derwoods election to the Senate was a slap at President Wilson's anti-free tolls policy. But the same people that

HUSBAND TRAPS UNFAITHFUL WIFE German Plays Dead In Or der to Test His Sus-
 picions.
RUSE IS SUCCESSFUL
From Coffin Husband Hears Wife Confess Love for Another Man Court Grants Divorce on
 the Evidence.

Berlin, May 13.-An amazing trap laid by suspicious husband who "died'' in order to gain evidence ot his wifes lnfidelity, has been dis closed in divorce case at Stockholm accounts of which have just reached here. Petitioning for a divorce, Karl Peterson, a wealthy merchant told the court how, as he lay in his coffin pretending to be dead, he heard his wife confess her love for another man. The husband said he was mar ried as recently as a year ago. His wife, Karin, was a handsome women, but was hot-tempered and exceedingly jealous.
 "I decided,'' he said, ito play trick upon her and see whether her love for me would proclaim itself if she thought I was dead, or whether she would then declare her affection for somebody else. My doctor and solici- tor both promised to help me in the scheme.
 On some preteXt I went to my country house, and soon after I got there the doctor sent message to my wife saying that I had been taken ill suddenly and was dying. Karin ] came at once and pretended to be dis tressed as I lay, perfectly still, in the darkened bedchamber. I felt, how ever, that her grief was insincere, and at midnight, when the doctor in ac- cordance with our arrangement, pro- 1 nounced my life to be extinct I still l thought that her sobs were theatri- 1 cal.
 Shortly after my death the solici- tor, also in accordance with the ar engagement, arrived at the house and made known the contents of my will to my widow, telling her that all my l property had been left to her and that by my special desire, I was to be buried quietly in the local ceme- tery, without any of my friends at Stockhold being informed of the death.
 "Then a coffin was brought to the i house and I was placed in it and carried down to- the room where the telephone was. No sooner had the doc tor and the solicitor left than my wife entered the room, and rang up a man, one of my oldest friends.
 "I have splendid news" she told him, "my monstrous husband is, at last dead. I am free; he has left me all his money, and I shall still love you. Will you come and see me to- morrow"
 My tremendous friend duly ar rived. I had had the coffin moved out into the entrance hall, and, as my wife went to greet the man I saw and heard her kiss him many times. Then it was that with one leap from the coffin I came to life and

moved towards the precious couple. Karin tainted and her companion fled"
 As neither the wife nor the cores- pondent could deny this evidence, the ingenious Petersen was granted de- cree.
