complicated by new elements.
in line with its policy, the govern

their affiliations

ARREST OF HUERTA IS
UNJUST, SAYS ELIAS

San Antonio, Texas, June zS.-The
United States has never arrested villa
or Carranza for violations OF American
neutrality, and it is therefore Unjust
to arrest Gen. HuerIa, even supposins
he is guilty OF the charges preferred
against him. according to a statement
issued by Arturo NJ. Elias. former in
spector Of cOnsulates at FL Paso dur
ing Huertas administration Speak
ing for himself and the colony OF au-
erta adherents in southwest Texas, ne
added:
i say it is unjust because the Amer
lean officers have never arrested any
Of the revolutionary leaders-such as
Carranza and Villa-because Of viola
ton Of the neutrality laws. The Mex
lean public Will see in Gen. Huerta the
victim OF an injustice. And the Mex
lean public always has been sympa-
thetic with the victims. In addition
those on the other sde OF the RIO
Grande. will see in Gen Huerta the
only person who has aroused the Op-
position OF the United States mis-
may be true or not, but this is the
way it appears to the Mexican"

went through, but he worked night
and day to do il and in the first four
years never once left the bounds Of the
college. Huerta especially distinguished
himself in mathematics and graduated
as a military engineer. His first work
was on the national survey and IL was
so excellent that IL attracted the atten-
ton Of president Diaz. 1t may be
noted in passing that Huerta has al
ways kept up with his mathematical
studies; that he is an astronomer Of
wide experience and is the author Of
the best military map Of Mexico in
existence.
A Power Under Diaz.
When Diaz was in power it was no
very easy matter for a man TO rise in
Mexico, but Huerta forged TO the top.
Step by step and always fighting. he
made his way up He took part in sup
pressing every one of the revolutions
that broke out during the Diaz regime
and he was held in such high esteem
byfhis chief that when the dictator alb
dicated he turned to Huerta to insure
his safety as he left Mexican soil.
When De La Barra became presi-
dent ne sent Huerta to suppress the
Zapata revolution and If he mad been
allowed to have his way he would
have wiped out the peon movement IN
the state of Morales there and then,
but MaderO interviewed and Huerta was
called off After Madero's ascension
TO the presidency Huerta was sent of

Madero, who, with all his good in
tentions, was a dreamer. although glad
enough to have Huerta 10 put down re-
volt, did not believe in force and was
Tor peace by persuasion Just as soon
as he got rid Of the plain. hard-hitting

Iutions broke out on all sides They

in Mexico City itself. when the capital
was bombarded. hundreds Of people
were killed and the streets were
drenched in blood The diplomatic
corps called on Madero TO resign. ana
after his own soldiers had placed him
under arrest, Huerta came into power.
Huerta points with insistency to the
fact that he succeeded to the presi-
dency under the terms Of the constitu-
ton and that the Mexican congress-
senate and supreme court all recog-
nized the fact. He also will quietly
