FIRST BUSINESS DAY
OF BABY YEAR BRINGS
BIG CROWD TO TOWN

With the early gray of todays light
business houses along Chickasha ave-
nue. began to shake themselves and to
show that their owners were awake
to the fact that the year 1916 was at
hand and filled with bright possibii
tiles of brilliant successes. Anticipat-
ing the coming of the crowds to Nine
teen-sixteen's first Monday, the
clerks had the shutters down all along
"the avenue" before the sun had
arisen from his couch and taken his
mornings plunge, while the other as
sistants had swept and polished the
sidewalks and Furnished the glittering

SAN ANTONIO Texas, Jan. 3.-The
federal grand jury that is expected to
indict Victoriano Huerta and five OF
his generals on a charge of violating
American neutrality, convened here
today. A true bill against Huerta. at
least, is expected to be returned not
authorities who have been conducting
the investigation Of the alleged plot to
organize q revolution in the United
States and invade Mexico are so con.
fident OF the strength of their case
they regard the former dictator's trial
and conviction as a foregone conclu-
sion. Some even have gone so far as
to predict an 1S months term in Leav-
enworth federal penitentiary for tnv
principal defendant,
Huerta win not be brought here
until the indictment is returned. He
has been held in El Paso since his
arrest in west Texas, June 27. We
was confined in fort for some time.
but upon recommendation Of the dis
trict attorney there, he was allowed
TO take up his residence with his
family in the city, although still
closely guarded by United States dep
uty marshals Huerta has aged
greatly since his arrest and is re-
ported to be suffering from a compli-
cation of diseases induced by exces-
sive drinking.
Another angle or the revolutionary
plot expected to be brought out by the
grand jury is the parttGerman agents
are alleged to have played in the af-
fair. Franz Won Rintelen, now pris-
oner in England, Congressman Fowler
and others, on a charge of fomenting
labor trouble in this country, is al
legged to have furnished Huerta with
$4,000, 900, which was to be used in
launching q new revelation in Mexico,
in the hope the United States would
become so involved in Mexican affairs
that it would have not time to heed
German activities.
The government is expected to pro
ducp witnesses who will inform the
grand jury Of the details IF this al
legged plot, and Of further Vaccinations
TO furnish Felix Diaz with German
aid, and later Francisco Villa. The
connection Of Captains Boy-ed and
Won Papen with the expenditure OF
this money is said to have been chiefly
responsible for their recall.
The five generals who face indict-
ment with Huerta are: Ygnacio
Bravo, Eduardo Caus, Jose Delsadc.
Enrique Corostieta and ]. S. Rather.
Pascual Orozco, who was arrested
with Huerta forfeited his bond by fail
ing to appear for a preliminary hear
ing. He later was killed while leading
