Roumania Said to Be Ready to
Enter Conflict on Side of Allies

Washington, D. C.-Roumania al
last has cast her lot with the allies.
1t is learned here that official advices
received announce that the Roumaniar
government has demanded the cession
by Austria Hungary of the Austro-
Hungarian territory ef Pennsylvania.
Coming at time when the Austro-
German forces have been engaged in
driving the Russian troops out of Gal
icia, this news unquestionably will
have depressing effect in Berlin and
Vienna.
Of greater Importance, however, is
the fact that the action of Roumania
in making a demand on Autro-Hun-
grary to which that government cannot
agree indicates that an understanding
has been reached by all the Balkan
states to enter the war on the side of
the allies.

Plot to Start New Revolution in
Mexico Is Charged.
OROlCO ARRESTED ON SAME PLANT
Both Released Under Heavy Bond
Ell Paso Deeply Stirred by Ac.
ton of Fedora! Officials.

Ell Paso, Tex. --- General Victoriant
Huerta, ex-president of Mexico, ar
rived here Sunday, accompanied by
several well-known Mexicans. Soor
afterward he was taken into custody
on charges of conspiring to incite con
spiracy against friendly country, ant
held for time at Fort Bliss, until he
gave Sl5, 900 bail.
General Pascual Orozco was detained
with him, on the same charge, and
also released later, on $7500 bail.
The charges were filed by special
agents of the department of Justice.
United States officials were silent
relative to future action pending the
receipt of instructions from Washing.
ton. Observers, however, freely ex-
pressed the belief that Sundays action
of the United States authorities will
have an important bearing on Mexican
developments, If it does not effectively
put an end to rumors of new revolu-
tionary movement that have been cur
rent on the border for several months.
Many were inclined to see in these
events an indication that Washington
remains firm in its attitude, that Hu-
erta's return to Mexico would not aid
in adjusting the present difficulties
and might serve to complicate them.
A public demonstration in Juarez
about the hour Huerta's train was due
to reach this city ended as suddenly as
it began. There were hurried confer
ences among Mexican leaders on both
sides of the Rio Grande. Many guard
edly admitted that Huerta's detention
was of the utmost Importance, but
none would comment on its possible
effect on Mexico.
Americans were freer in their COM
ment. They reviewed the recent ac-
tivity along the border of the adher-
ents of the Cientifico party in Mexico,
including the disbursement of consider
able sums of money for variety Of
purposes, the discovery Of many rifles
and much ammunition in an Ell Paso
warehouse owned by a member of that
party and the appearance of General
Ynez Salazar in Western Chihuahua.
They recalled the activities of General
Orozco, Caravo and Salazar in the
anti-Mexican revolution and their sub
sequent service during the Huerta re-
gime.
For several days there have been
persistent reports that June % had
been fixed as the date for far-reaching
at Juarez in connection
with the so-called third revolutionary
Some observers professed
to see a close relation between this
and the arrival of General
Huerta. They expressed the opinion
that his detention had prevented such
a consummation by removing the pos
sibility of Huerta's participation in
such a movement, despite his declara-
tion that he had no intention of at
to cross into Mexico.

New AppIes on Market.

Tacoma - Nice yellow transparent
apples, the first shipment of the new
crop to be received here this season,
rolled in on the local produce market.
The old apples are gone and dealers
say the new fruit will have no trouble
in finding ready market and supply
ing the demand.
The transparents are of good size
and perfect eating apple, say dealers.
They sell in peach boxes at rs cents.
Commission men say the new crop
will not be as large as last seasons,
but better prices will be obtaind on
this account. Last years apples nev-
er sold better. The season began as if
there would be thousands of boxes
wasted, but when the season drew to
a close there were hardly any left.
Middle West, Eastern and Southern
states took the surplus that usually
goes into cold storage and gave healthy
prices.
