Victoriano Huerta lay dead in his
apartments here today, the corpse
virtually prisoner OF the United
States government with which he
nearly went to war when, as Mexico's
last dictator, he refused to salute
the American flag, following the his
toric Tampico incident.

Huerta was sixty-one years old last

and complications were performed on
him in the last two weeks. Arrange

Italian military men. however. have
little doubt but that thousands OF
Montenegrin soldiers will reject the
peace arrangements, take to the noun

Austrians until they are exterminated.
The Montenegrin legation today
had no confirmation of the reports
that the truce has been signed by Cen
eral Koevess, the Austrian command
or, and King Nicholas, but was IN
clined to accept it as true. The ltali-
an foreign office also was without con-
firmation.
No criticism was expected here oil
the action of the Montenesrln KING.
On every hand there was eommenda-
ton for the the brave stand made ES
the mountaineer army, lacking proper
provisions and munitions against nn'
mercially superior forces from Aus

succumbed to modern artillery meth

II is believed probable that King
Nicholas will seek refuge in Rome

king would never consent TO remain
in his country under the Austria'

EXCHANGE OF BLOWS
BEFORE FORD LEFT
Exciting Times Among the Peace
Party when Nine. Schwimmer
was Found Lacking.

Staff Correspondent
THE HA~ JE, Jan. IA wild
scene preceded Henry t'ord's depar-
ture from the peace expedition at
Christiania, 1T was learned here to-
day. Several Ford leaders exchanged
blows before Ford sped away in an
automobile to catch a train that was
to take him to Bergen when he took
passage for New York. This infor-
nation was obtained from trust
worthy source and with it the in
side story of events aboard the peace
ship Oscar II and in Christiania.
Ford, it was learned for the first
time, investigated Nine. Rosika
Schwimmer's claims that she had
documents from warning and neutral
European rulers encouraging the
peace movement, after the quarrel
aboard ship over President Wilson'S
preparedness program. He discovered
that they were politely phrased dec
larations of nothing They were
worthless
Greatly disappointed. Ford retired
to his cabin in modification under
the pretense of being sick. He was
practically incommunicado the re-
mainder of the voyage.
At the same time he hoped an en-
thusiastic reception by the Scandina
yians would give the expedition some
hopes of success. When the Norwe
sians took the enterprise with ridi
cule and contempt, Ford determined
to leave and had Dean Marquis of
Detroit. chauffeur and two other
men arrange the details of his flight.

rison said today, the army officer not
having authority to act without or
ders and no such orders having been
issued. Request from Governor Fer
guson to the federal government

In this connection, however. it was
recalled that General Pershing several
weeks ago was given practically I'm
limited authority in dealing with
trouble on the border. The war de-
partment at the time Secretary Gar
rison explained the law concerning
martial law, had had no reports from
El Paso.
