Huerta Backers In Danger.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-f the
justice departments Texas agents
have evidence to prove that General
Huerta or others In his group actual
ly did anything in violation Of Ameri-
can neutrality. arrests may be expect
ed Of very prominent American citi-
zens in New York or elsewhere. UP

the department from Texas.
These arrests, If made, will be un-
der penal code, section 81. which pro-
tvides:
| '1f two or more persons conspire
either to commit any offense against
the United States-and one or more
such parties do any act to effect the
object of conspiracy, each Of the
parties to such conspiracy shall be
fined not more than $4,000 or impris-
oned not more than two years. or

Thus If Huerta conspired with Amer
lean financial hackers to re-enter
Mexico and then set about doing 1t,
not only is he guilty but SO are his
hackers as well.
That events are likely to take this
turn is confidently believed by those
who have followed the administra-
| tfon's Mexican policy.
