Banquet, minister of war, openly de-
flying General Huerta and the dicta-
tor meekly submitting, while busi-
ness house in the capital are barri-
caded, foreigners in Mexico City sent
word here today they believed Huerta
might not last through the week.
The break between Huerta and his
war minister came with the discov-
cry of an alleged plot against the
provisional president Saturday. Al
most beside himself with rage when
he discovered his subordinates were
against him, Huerta hurried to the
Baylen penitentiary, where 100 politi-
cal prisoners were confined and or
dered their execution. He told the
jailer to leave the 100 suspected o,
connection with the plot outside and
to shoot them against the wall. The
prison keeper secretly telephoned to
Banquet who was in bed. The war
minister went post haste to the peni-
tentiary In an automobile. He call
ed Huerta outside and then ordered
the prisoners returned to their cells.
"You must stop this killing OF
your supposed enemies If you want
me to stand by you in this crisis, -
banquet told the dictator and to the
great establishment of prison officials
Huerta meekly allowed Banquet to
countermand his orders for the pris-
oners' execution and fed to one of
his favorite cafes.
Banquet is said to be the "man
of the hour" In Mexico City.

FIRE BUG SCARE:
IN BARBER SHOP
Police Find Bath Tub Filled
With Papers, With In
flammabIe Substances.
OWNER GIVES COPS ALARM

What the police believe to be the
work of fire bug was discovered in
the rear of William Pollino's barber
shop at 389 State street, by Patrol
man Clooney about o'clock Sunday
morning. The findings of the Off
GER apparently have mystifed the
proprietor of the shop, the owner of
the building and Detective Sergeants
Long and HUFF, who are investigat-
Ing the case. According to the de-
tectives on its face it shows an
attempt to burn out the barber.
A bathtub in the rear of the shop,
filled with towels, old papers and
other easily-ignitable materials were
found by the patrolman. They were
soaked with an oily substance, which
was either gasoline or benzine.
Cloone found an oil jug empty in
one of the bedrooms, and a shaving
cup filled with the irtammable sub
stance. This morning when an in
Vestgation was made by the detec-
tive sergeants another jug half-full
of benzine was found, and also a
small bottle of another oily substance
wht3h has not as yet been identified.
as no name appeared on the con-
tainer. One of the jugs was found
under the bed of Antonio Braggatta,
one of Pollino's BARRIERS. He is the
only one of the shop that sleeps in
the quarters. POllino declared that
he had no gasoline or Jnzine in the
house, and that he does not know
who would want to set his place afire
unless it were some one that did not
want his shop in that vicinity. Pol
limo has only been in his present 10
cation three months, II being the sec
ond shop In the city he has opened
He has conducted a tonsorial busi-
ness at 29S Smith street for a num-
ber of years.
Patrolman Clooney passed the
place about las o'clock He saw a
barber and several other men in the
shop. He entered, but seeing that
everything was apparently all right
went further on his beat. In about
fifteen minutes Braggatta came run
ming to him and reported that there
was peculiar odor of gasoline in
the place and that towels and paper
in the bathtub were saturated with
gasoline. The patrolman immediate
ly went back to the place and found
the bathtub as described above. He
found Pollino and three other bar
bers.. Pollino denied all knowledge
OF the affair and the patrolman kept
watch on the place until nearly
o'clock but nothing developed.
The detective sergeants were this
morning informed by Braggatta thai
he Pollina, and Two other BARRIERS

ROOSEVELT WILL
TELL ABOUT It
Wilson Invited Him to Luncheon
But Colonel is Too Busy
at Present.
1E WILL LECTURE HOWEVER
Special BY CHited Press Wire.

Washington, May 25:-Tormer
President Theodore Roosevelt will
tell about it," to President Wilson
at the White House tomorrow after
noon. The President today let 1t be
known that he had invited the sage
of Oyster Bay" to have luncheon
with him and Colonel Roosevelt said
he would not have time. He will,
however, go to the White House be-
fore delivering his lecture on his
Brazilian discovery to the National
Geographic Society.
When 1t was announced that the
visit will be one of courtesy the very
fact that Roosevelt is going to the
White House caused much comment
among politician. Roosevelt's al
ready avowed opposition to the Will
son-Panama toll question and the
administration proposed Colombian
treaty had been expected to stand in
the way of the White House call. The
President extended the invitation,
however, and 1t is possible that as
the result Of the visit some of the
Roosevelt opposition might not be SO
forceful as 1t otherwise would.
The VISIT of Colonel Roosevelt to
Washington has already showed all
other issues into the background
While the colonel has announced
that he will not take up for serious
consideration political questions un-
til after his return from Spain, some
political leaders here hope to get
him to, at least, consider plan OF
action for the fall campaign.
One of these is Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, who has told a num-
Der of his friends know that he be-
lieves Republicans and Progressives
should sink their animosity and com
bine for the congressional campaign
Lodge is expected to see the colonel
and put his views squarely to him.
Because of the long friendliness be-
tween the two, suggestions Of Sen
ator Lodge are likely to have more
influence on Roosevelt than would
those of any other Republican leader

Big Question for Mediators.
Special BY United Press Wire.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Niagara Falls, May 25:-While
the mediators have before them to-
day propositions submitted by both
the American and Mexican delegates
in the negotiations for peace in
Mexico, one of the big questions was
whether the hand Of the rebels was
to be forced by the arrival of repre-
sentatives of General Felix Dia2 on
the scene.
Denial that they were here on any
political mission was made by the
four men arriving last night but
their intimacy with the Huerta dele
gates makes it certain that they may
be expected to look after the inter
ests of Diaz. With General Del Rio
In Toronto is Diaz himself and those
here who know him declare that 1t
would not be surprising if Huerta' s
conspirators appeared here later.
When asked the purpose of his
visit here Luis Requena, one of the
four, declared, at has no political
significance. l came here only TO
see my dear, dear friends, my school
mates, and to view the scenery"
Unofficially Diaz is represented
here. The constitutionalists were
reported to plan similar unofficial
representation through Jose Vancon-
sellos. The Diaz faction Is on the
ground first and whether this may
force General Carranza to a direct
declaration of his intentions is ex-
pected to soon develop.

the survival of the fittest, and the
supervisor hopes to procure the serv-
ices of skilled and efficient staff.
Mr.. Afflerbach has studied in several
institutions and had served as a
physical director in Peddie Institute.
1t is his foremost desire to secure a
competent staff and to conduct the
city's Fairgrounds along the most
efficient and economical lines posi-
Bile. at the same time procuring the
best results for the children.
With an appropriation of $2,50O
to work with this year, the play
ground officials hope to make a more
commendable showing than ever this
year. 1t is proposed to supply one OF
more Fairgrounds In the most con
yenient sections OF the city Sites
grounds are the Raritan Copper
Works field and the Wonderland
Beach property at the foot of First
