PROBE ALLEGED OROZCO PLAN
CONCERNING HUERTA
San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 6.-Fed-
eraI authorities are investigating al
legged confession of Jose Orozco re
garding plot to restore Victoriano
Huerta to power in Mexico. War
rants are to be issued today, and it is
believed at least dozen arrests would
be made.
Orozco who was chief lieutenant
of his cousin, Pascual OFozco, and
who now is prisoner at Ell Paso, is
alleged to have stated that the CleF-
ical party in Mexico was back of the
new revolt and that $11 100000 was
raised to support the movement.
Agents were stationed in New
York, New Orleans, Galveston and
San Antonio. According to Orozco,
the invaders were to seize Juarez,
which Huerta was to proclaim as his
provisional capital. Of the 5000 rifles
and sixty machine guns 0Tozco said
had been ordered for the revolt, au-
thorities have recovered six of latter.
