FL PASO, Tex. July 4-For at tempting to shoot deputy United States marshal, General Nictorano Huerta, who had been released on bail, was placed under arrest here yesterday and will probably be held until his hearing. which has been set for July F.

 The reason he took shot at the deputy marshal, he said, was be cause the deputy had attempted 10 drive Huerta's son from the running board of his automobile
 The burden of the complaint tele- graphed to Washington by General Huerta was that he was already un- der bonds when rearrested, and for that reason he declared he should have been given his liberty until his bonds, covering the original charge, had been annuled
 From the time that Huerta was first arrested here on a charge of conspiracy. he has assumed a iOvial. careless attitude, but when he was time. he became serious. and at times abusive to the officers who took him in charge.
 Both charges against IIuerta will be heard in the local federal court on July 12 Whether Huerta will be released on bail is still an un- certainty, as the charge against him is of nature that may not permit of his release.
 Secret service men of the United States declare that they are finding more evidence against Huerta and the other alleged cOnspirators, and when the hearing is held here, 1t is expected that some important revela- tons will be made

New History Made
In $4,000 Suit

Denying in their answer to the
cross-complaint that Esteban Cantu
governor of Lower California, is he
duly qualified and acting chief ey-
eeutive or any other officer of that
district, the Carranza government,
through its attorneys, Swing and
Butcher, made new history in the $50,-
600 Carranza-Cantu suit today.
The Carranza government is now
willing to admit that the Northern
district of Lower California is one of
the political subdivisions of the Repub-
lie of Mexico, the hitch arising over
the recognition of Cantu as the chief
administrator of affairs.
The answer sets forth that the de
facto government is willing to admit
that the money deposited by Cantu in
the CaleXico banks was collected BY
duties imposed by Cantu, but they
deny that he or any of his officers
are entitled to use any of the money
involved. The answer sets forth that
for a long time money collected in
Lower California has been used to
maintain the government, but they al
lege that Cantu did not use it with the
consent of the Mexican government.
The document further sets forth that
the $4,000, according to the laws of
the Republic Of Mexico, must be deliv-
cred to the national treasury of Mex
leo, where the proper disbursements
to defray the expenses of maintaining
the government are made by "prope1
federal officers and employees of the
Republic of Mexico"
The de facto government, in the an
swer to the cross-eomplaint, admits
