DE La CARA SAYS MEXICAN
CONDITIONS ARE sH0RRBLEp

New York. March 1o.-Emeterios de Ia
Cara, whom Senator FAN quoted dur
ing his plea in the United States Senate
on Monday for Intervention In Mexico,
today characterized conditions in Mexico
as horrible beyond expression" De Ia
Cara was a prominent lawyer In Mex
leo City and member of the House OF
Deputies.
The conditions in Mexico today par
allel those during the terrible conflict
that preceded the election OF Porfirio
Diaz as President. and there Is no pros
pect Of peace. The Indians make up
IS per cent Of the population. We cannot
put them on reservations. Some other
solution must be found for the problem.
THAT solution never will come out of
the present conflict. Each leader of a
faction is contented. None Is worrying
about Mexico as a whole. Carranza has
Sonora and Sinaloa. where he reigns like
n car. Villa has Chihuahua and Du-
range. with the custom-house at Juarez
that produces $4,000 a day for him.
Lucio Blanc has Tamaulipas with the
custom-house of Matamoras: Zapata has
Morelos and Guerrero; Huerta has the
central states around Mexico. and Sec
ondary chiefs hold smaller territories. -

UNTERMYER Is CLOSELY
OUIZZED BY HITCHCOCK
Senator Wants to Know Financial
Experts Motive in Appearing
Before Committee.

Samuel Un.ermyer. of New York,
former ''inquisitor general of the Pujo
committee, was himself quizzed in a way
that he did not like when he appeared
yesterday to present concluding argu-
ments before the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee in support of the
bill for regulation of stock exchanges
through the Postoffice Department.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, who
has led opposition to the bill, also led
the attack on Untermyer. Hitchcock
wanted to know about Untermyer's own
life, his motive in appearing before the
Committee. and whether he appeared as
witness or counsel. Senator Owen ex-
planned that Untermyer appeared because
he thought he could aid the committee.
After Untermyer had explained some of
the things Hitchcock wanted to know
Senator Nelson commented: Mr.. Inter-
myer. once we had a bill pending to put
an end to race-tracks and track gambling
and some of the most valuable informa-
tion We obtained was from one of the
former race-track men, a reformed book
maker"
Untermyer observed he was sure Sena-
tor Nelson had intended to convey no
invidious implication. "Ohi Ny, no." said
Nelson.
At the Capitol II is regarded as certain
that the stock exchange bill will be de-
feated in committee by seven to five and
probably by even a larger majority.

IDEAL PLACE FOR COLONY

Mexico City, March 10.-Minister Ada.
tici. OF Japan, in a joint report to his
own government and the government Of
Mexico, has pointed out that the west

to the federal government on the same
terms.
1t Is well known here that Adatici is

ing with all his might to establish an
immense colony of Japanese in Mexico.
It is pointed out that a Japanese colony
on the west coast would form a formid-
able base in case Of war between Japan
and the United States.
A number of Englishmen are said to
be working to get the British govern
ment to bring a heavy pressure to bear
on Washington to force recognition OF
Huerta by the United States government.
These Englishmen are said to be keep
ing in close touch with the Japanese.
There is a rumor that Gen. Huerta and
Gen. Banquet have had a serious fall
ing-out. 1t is said they quarreled because
Huerta insisted that the Twenty-ninth
Infantry. Gen. Blanquets old regiment.
be sent into the Northern campaign.
There was a report here that Torreon
had been attacked by 5000 rebels under
Pereyra and Natera this morning. Fight
ing is supposed to have been In progress
all day.
An official announcement says that
Felipe Riveris. former governor of
Sinaoloa. has been executed by order of
Gen. Ramon. Robert w. Harwood and
Mortimer Milley. two Americans, have
been arrested at Tijuana, Lower Cali
fOrnia. The charge against the men is
that they were spies and were supplying
arms and ammunition to Carranza's
forces. Gen. Banquet has ordered
strong advance from Monterey against
Matamoros.
Congress will have an unofficial meeting
with Gen. Huerta next Saturday, pre-
TO the regular opening Of Con-
gress on April 1.

FILES ANNUAL REPORT.
City Sealer Finds Many False Meas
ures in Use in Kenosha.

Felix Mayer, city sealer of weights
and measures, has filed his annual re-
port with the city clerk and the state
sealer of weights and measures. The
form for the report furnished by the
state department is highly technical
one and it would take a Philadelphia
lawyer to figure out just what it all
means. The finance committee of the
council will make an effort to find out
just what the report means. One thing
is shown and that is that a large num-
Der of try outs made by the sealer
indicated that false measures were in
use in Kenosha and that some Of the
storekeepers were not overly careful in
the matter of weights. The report
while indicating that many false meas
ures had been used and many false
weights given did not indicate any
large number of prosecutions in court.
The council will take some action in re-
gard to the continuation of the Office
when the committee makes its report.
