Gen. V. Huerta Arrested By

 people, as a soldier shall be deemed guilty of high misdemeanor and shall be. fined not more than 5000 and imprisoned not more than three years.
 Another section, No. 62S6. says:
 Every person who within the territory or Jurisdiction of the United States, be- gins or sets on foot, or provides, or pre- pares the means for, any military expedl- tion or enterprise, to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominions of any foreign prince, or state, or any colony, district. or people, with whom the United States are at peace, shall be deemed guilty of high misdemeanor and shall be fined not exceeding 5000 and i'm prisoned not more than three years''
 Officials at the department of justice re- fused to say under which statute General Huerta and General Orozco had been held but said this would be developed If for mai arrests were made, a contingency de- pending upon the information contained in the expected reports from the agents of the department of justice.
 While the department here will keep close watch on the case, officials made 1t clear that 1t was now entirely in the hands of United States Attorney Camp. Upon him rests the responsibility of keep ing the Mexicans under surveillance while they are at liberty on bond
 Speculation was widespread in official and diplomatic quarters as to the effect of the arrest of Huerta on the political situation generally in Mexico. The Villa and Carranza adherents regarded it as contradicting reports that the American government had lost it's previously ex- pressed sympathy for the original con- stitutionalist movement and was now ready to turn to those formerly in con- trol of Mexican politics So far as the state department is concerned, the ques- tions involved are concerned merely with violations of neutrality. No officials would admit that the desire of the Amer ican government to prevent General Huerta from further complicating the sit uation in Mexico had any bearing on the arrests, but this was the interpretation which Elzio Arrendondo Washington representative of Carranza, placed on it in his statement issued tonight saving:

ELECTRICITY TO PROPEL
BATTLESHIP CALIFORNIA
Installation Expected to Mark Ad-
vance in Marine Power-Ma-
chinery to Cost $431 900.

Electric propelling machinery for the
new battleship California, the first
battleship of any nation to be equipped
with the electric drive, will be built
by the General Electric Company OF
New York for s431. 900.
The California is under construction
at the New York navy yard, which
submitted an estimate of s631. 900 for a
steam equipment. Mr.. Daniels de-
cision to install electric machinery has
created keen interest in naval circles
and some officers think the success OF
the experiment would mark as great
an advance in marine propulsion as did
the advent of the steam turbine.
Not only is the electric drive cheap
fon." said the Secretary. but it offers
also superior economy In operation. a
reduction in weight and utilization OF
full power in backing. The latter is
an important military feature. which
is not obtainable in an all-turbine in
stallation. on account of limitations OF
space and weight imposed in the de-
sign of the ship.
There is a further advantage. that
it will be unnecessary to provide q
backing turbine, as reversal of the
shafts Will be accomplished through
the motors instead of by turbines"
The American collier Jupiter was the
first naval vessel to be equipped with
electric propulsion.

LOW WATER IN RIVER.
Water Is So Clear That Bottom Visi.
BILE in Harbor.

Though there have been no northerly
winds for several days to account for
low water. yesterday the water in the
Potomac was fully three feet below the
normal low-water mark. With the
weather so calm the rivermen figure
the tides should be running above the
average instead of below.
The drought has allowed the water In
the river to deposit every trace of mud

months in the harbor. and oyster shells

EXPECT LARGE RETURNS
UNDER INCOME TAX LAW
Administration officials Believe Re.
ceipts This Year Will Greatly
Exceed Original Estimates.

Administration officials are optimistic
over prospects that the income tax this
year will yield an amount considerably
in excess of the original estimates of
ss0.000,Oo0.
This optimism was based upon full
preliminary estimates to the Treasury
Department from internal revenue col
lectors throughout the country. They
placed the sum to be collected from the
individual and corporation tax at $780,
$4,000.
Officials are confident. however. that
the returns will exceed that sum by
several millions This is highly graft
flying to them because it had been pre-
dicted that the European war and the
tariff would operate to prevent large
return.
