DENIES FALL OF CITY
Tells Charge O'Shaughnessy That
Villa Has Been Driven Back Dy
YeIasco-Congress in Session.

Mexico City, April 4.-Victoriana
Huerta, unflinchingly faced his
| fate today, as he stoutly denied thai
tTorreon had fallen or that his army
had met with losses.
( "Torreon has not fallen. 1t is lie,
ne said to all whom he talked. HiS
manner was that of a man who eX.
.pected the worst, but did not feal
it.
1t is obvious that Huerta has de-
terrnined to keep the news of Felas-
co.'s defeat away from the people
of the city as long as possible. He
has SO completely cut off all lines OF
communication with the north that
not even couriers have been able to
get through with reports to any
:place where they could be forwarded
l'by wire.
In a cafe last evening General HUI,
erta met Charge O'Shaughnessy. He
greeted the American officially cor
daily, and with a smile said:
"Torreon has not fallen. Our mer
are driving Villa back"
Hue1ta'S smile seemed to say
"This is what we wish to be known
Kindly spread the report"
Despite the secrecy of the gov,
eminent officials the news from Tor
.recn has filtered in from the United
SSssa5t.es "a DISPATCHES which v,sta ira
classified as lies BY Huer
ia. TIE local papers are all under
Huerta's domination. Yet through
out the city there is a feeling o:
fearful uneasiness.
Most men who know Huerta be
!;ave he will die fighting. Man!
consider him capable of attempting
to destroy the city if he is convinced
/! that villa will wrest it from him
The ruling opinion, however, is tina
Huerta will barricade himSel
against attack as long as possible
and then hold out to the bitter end
"When Heurta falls it will be from
u wound in the face" said one o
his friends. F!le will nevef turl
his back to the enemy.
General Velasco and his army ar
lost, SO far as any news here is con
cerned. 1t seems probable they hav
fled to the mountains, every man TO
himself.
Everywhere prices are soaring. TIL
value of Mexico peso is falling rap
idly. Soldiers and citizens alike ar
trying to change their money int
gold. For it is only gold that wi
profit anyone seeking to flee whe
the crash comes.
/, Congress was in secret session a.
night, endeavoring to devise som
means of meeting the financial par
Eic as well as the threatened colEaps
of the government. Hue''ta ha
ihean in close touch with the leader!
Even with the fall Of Torreon, the
Ehave weeks and perhaps even long
Ter. they believe, before Villa can al
proach the capital.
in the meantime, the grim o.
warrior, firm and fearless at tn
hhead of the tottering government
hcalm,y takes his cograc and smile

PEDESTRIANS RIGHTS.

To begin with. every good driver upon
the road. wethev of horses or motor
cars. should thoroughly grasp tho
fundamental fact that the pedestrian
has in some places greater rights, in
others an equal and in still others an
inferior right on the roads in relation
TO wheeled traffic and he is supposed
TO take reasonable care of himself and
to see that he does not recklessly incur
dangers to himself and others.
In this country we often laugh at the
fact that in France a man may be
prosecuted for being in the road and
being knocked down by a passing We
hicIc. This. of course. is an extreme
case upon the other side of the question.
There are dangers which the motor
car driver inCurS every time he drives
along a highway. which are not in the
nature of common ones. AS generally
understood. common dangers. for i'll
stance. include the chance of collision
with other vehicles at crossroads. Cf
skidd;ng on a slippery pavement. and
many other wcll-known risks which
ditiom of the road and weather, and
many other circumstances which need
not be considered here.
The driver of a motor car. however.
who aspires to clean record in the
matter of accidents. has to be more
than ordinarily alert. He has to ex-
ercisp i'm q special degree the quality
OF forethcught and train himself TO
calculate beforehand what is likely to
happen under certain circumstances
which may at first sight appear un-
likely.
1t is foolish to imagine that the dan
gers of the road can be entirely elimi-
mated. or that any form of locomotion
can become absolutely safe as regards
other users of the highways But
mental alertness while driving q motor
car upon the highways has become
more than ever essential il the driver
would be a true master Of his craft:
and the maxim that It is the uneX
pected that often happens" should al
ways be present in the minds of the
drivers Foresight and caution are. in
The Washington times., 1914-10-24

the case of many well-knoTn and rood
drivers. natural gifts. but the stupidest
motorists can acquire the habit of culti-
waiting these two features by setting
his mind to do SO.
Rules Of the Road
AS regards the general public. the
widespread ignorance and apathy as to
the rules of the road is one of the most
unsatiSfac ctory features manifested on
our highways today. When one mo-
torist encounters. as he will inevitably
do, nearly one-third Of the vehicular
traffic upon the wrong side of the road
he must not allow himself to become
irrtated at the apparently deliberate
perversity of the average driver of slow
vehicles. These drivers do not know or
care.
AS a remedy for this almost universal
breaking of the. rules of the road there
is a reform which is not only desirable
but practical. The rules Of the road and
the dangers of the traffic should be
taught in every elementary school IN the
country There are probably no children
under the age of ten or twelve years and
comparatively few grown-ups who could
give an intelligent answer to the qucs-
tions as to how to cross a road, on
which side to drive or walk or where to
look for special danger.
A dozen or so simple rules illustrated
by plain diagrams would in very few
lessops convey to the mind of the aver
age school child an imprint Ipon his
memory for life. the best way of avoid
ing the undoubtedly increasing dangers
of the street and of main and cross roads
alike.
While the pedestrian, as stated at the
outset. has certain special rights, there
is no reason to believe that the majority
of those who walk upon the highways
fs-h -i-1
to cause unnecessary danger 2nd diff
ficulty to vehicular and wheel traffic. 1t
is true therefore, that if schools of ev-
cry description taught their pupils the
ordinary rules of the road. many acci-
dents and injuries and much loss of life
would be thereby averted, and much Of
the chaos. risk and disorder in our traf-
fic would be cured

Certain Privileges
By MITCHELL MAY.
(Secretary of State of New York;

The subject of accidents upon the public highway,
always interesting one, just receiving much at
tenon upon the part of the press and the public. Of
course any kind of ocomotion whether by land
in the air. has its peculiar dangers, but the public high
way is intimately and continuously connected with
eVeIyOnes life accidents upon receive larger share of
attention than mshaps at any other form of acci
dent The public mind in this matter is largely guided by
the amount of prominence given to accidents, and just
motor accidents excite it than any other kind
and therefore receive greater prominence

Monogram on Tires Is
New Fad for Motorists

Motorists who are particular can row
have tires furnished with their name
nodded in rubber letters on the side.
One of the tire companies is advertising
that tires will be furnished in this
manner il desired. The fellow that
smokes cigarettes with his MONOGRAM
on the paper, and who wears his mono
gram on his clothing. can now indulge
the same fancy in tires.

Dripping of Gasolene
Wasteful and Dangerous

Quite often there will be an unnoticed
drip of gasoene for a few minutes from
the carburetor after the engine Las
stopped. This is not only a waste Of
fuel. but it is dangerous from the risk
of fire. Usually this condition is due to
the float not closing the needle valve
opening promptly.
