too somber millinery without getting
away from that which is grave. The

not practical for those who cannot af-
ford many Grape hats, inasmuch as
any white soils quickly. Just now the
combination of black and white is in
favor, but even the all-black hats OF

GEN. HUERTA DIES
APR|SONER OF U. S.
Refused to Salute Flag at
Vera Cruz.
WAS HELD FOR CONSPIRACY
Because OF Illness, Former Dictator
OF Mexico Had Been Allowed
To Go To His Home.
Where End Came.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Vi ctoriano Huerta,
former dictator of Mexico, died at his
home here.
Since he was permitted, on account
CT his illness to leave the jail in which
he had been confined as prisoner of
the United States since his arrest last
July, General Huerta had been oper-
ated upon for gallstones four times,
and his death had been expected for
some days. He was attended during
his illness by his wife at their home
here.
Huerta took Office as Provisional
President of Mexico on February 10,
1913. Three days afterward Francisco
Madero, one of his brothers who had
been arrested with him and Jose Maria
Pine Suarez, Vice-President under
Madero, were assassinated while
riding under guard from the palace to
the penitentiary.
This crime aroused a storm of indig-
nation throughout the United States.
In many quarters there were demands
for intervention, but President Taft,
who was on the eve of leaving office,
decided to take no action which might
commit the incoming administration
of President Wilson.
Immediately on assuming Office,
President Wilson refused to recognize
Huerta as the head Of the Mexican
Government in spite OF the fact that
such recognition had been granted by
Great Britain. At the same time the
Maderistas rallied under Venustiano
Carranza, Governor of Coahuila, and
Francisco Villa declared against
Huerta
Arrested on Way To Border.
On June % he was arrested by Secret
Service agents at Newman, N. NJ, on
a charge of conspiring to incite revo-
luton against a friendly country. He
was released on bond, but was re-
arrested by Secret Service men at Ell
Paso on July when apparently plan
ming to cross the border.
Huerta remained in jail until De-
cember %. when he was permitted to
be removed to his home in Ell Paso on
account Of the serious nature of his
illness.
During Huerta's stay in America
, numerous stories were circulated from
various sources asserting that he was
being backed by German agents in a
plot to embroil this country with
Mexico. These stories were officially
denied by Count Won Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador. They were re-
yived again, however. by statements
by Federal officials that Franz Won
Rintelen, German agent, had spent
large sums of money endeavoring to
cause disturbances on the Mexican
border

Among the costumes, short, faring

the direction OF the stripes, which
manage never to run straight up and

Checks, in strong contrast, are of
much the same character and are

dangerously, in an explosion which oc-
CURED on the submarine E-3 while the
craft was undergoing repairs in dry
dock at the New York Navy Yard One
of the men killed was an enlisted cleo
trician and the other three civilian
workers.
AT least three of the ten now in hos
pitfalls are not expected to live.
Although the defamation was terrific,
the submarine itself from the outside
shows none of the effects of the explo-
sion, the second fatal accident of its
kind in the history Of the United States
Navy. The apparatus was badly shat
tered, but SO tight was the vessels
shell there was no means Of escape for
gas which accumulated, and it was
more than an hour after the blast be-
fore the work Of recovering the bodies
could be completed. A ladder was
blown up through the coming tower
and fell 1Fn feet away.
Gas Drives Back Rescuers.
The injured men and one body were
removed soon after the accident, but
three bodies far down in the craft
could not be reached until the gas had
been blown out by compressed air.
Soon after the explosion several naval
officers led a rescue party into the
drydock, but were partly overcome by
gas fumes when they attempted to de-
scend into the vessel. 1t was then
that compressed air pipes were run
into the shell and the gas forced out
The number of men inside the sub.
marine at the time of he explosion
is not definitely known. About 20
were working on the craft but all of
them were not on the underwater boat
at the same time 1t is not thought
possible that anyone who was inside
could have escaped injury.
Doubt As To Cause.
What caused the explosion has not
been definitely decided. Rear-Admiral
Nathaniel R. Usher, commandment of
the navy yard, after an examination
of the craft and questioning workmen
who had been near by, declined to ex.
press an opinion. He said:
''The men were at work in the bat
terry compartment Of the E-2, discharg-
ing the new Edison batteries through
a rheostat to measure the voltage and
the explosion occurred in that COM
partment while they were working
there. The battery win generate no
kind of gas and there was no gasoline
on board The engine was of the oil
burning Diesel type"

cial board Of inquiry by the Navy De
partment. Rear-Admiral Usher named

Had New Batteries
The E-2 was the only vessel IN the
world equipped with the Edison nickel
batteries and she made her first trip
successfully with them on December
last. 1t was reported that the new
batteries gave better speed with less
fuel.
There were ihree other submarines
in the drydock but there were about
SO feet from the E-2, which had been
undergoing repairs since December 80.
There were no torpedoes or gasoline
aboard any of them.

The Republican View

Edited by the Republican State Commute,

THE American public should not fail to seize the full significance q. the fact
that the national guard has been called out to help do police duty.
II our regular army had been increased to the size recommended by the
unprepared civilians from their work to do what our standing army should do
For two years the propaganda for adequate defense has been especially
active Congress has refused to follow its appeal. In the house Of representa-
tes Champ Clark, Claude k,uchin and James Hay, leaders OF the democratic
majority, have fought every attempt to bring the army up to the strength urged
by the military experts.
James Hay dominates democratic army policy lie worked out a measure
which waS exposed as 4 fraud on the floor OF the house It pwpoucd 10 pro-
vide for a large citizen army When auayled ii was found to provide for
virtually no increase over ~ present forces and as natter of fact was a
political spUls measure framed to conciiatc the national guard, provide pork
and bring the whole military establishment more completely under the control
OF politicians
In the senate a democratic senator elected by republican votes Chamberlain
Of Oregon, stood out against this party policy, and, backed by the republican
senators, framed and passed an army bill following the general lines OF expert
opinion OF our needs This bill cuhdci with the fraudulent house bill OF Hay
and IN. conference was attacked by Hay, who cut the. regular army increase
down, included a provision for the appointment ot a friend as federal Judge
and otherwise played democratic and personal politics with the national guard.
During these two years Mr. Wilson has remained inactive thus giving the
benefit Of his significant inertia to the obIruconsts. When the latest Next
can crisis cam and he was constrained to call ont the guard, the president
summoned Chairman Padgct of the house naval affairs committee and other
leaders to him and Induced them to Cnlmge. the naval program. Since then the
senate naval committee has enlarged and accelerated the program and the senate
military committee increased the house military appropriation about 30 percent
But this is eleventh hour pentcnce

THE TRACTOR.

THOUSANDS Of Oklahoma farmers are at Enid watch
1 inr the tractor demonstration, and the majority OF
them viii go back home not only tractor boosters, but
tractor owners. It would be a big thing for Oklahoma
II every farmer in his state could have a tractor, II
would be a far bigger thing than the finding OF another
oil field, the discovery OF another gas belt, the location
Of further zinc deposits. Golden as oil and gas and zinc
may be, the farm is the eternal wealth, and that which
cnrichcs the soil is an enduring bcnciiccnce.
The tractor can claim that ritlc. The real foundation
for a corn crop ior instance, is deep plowing, The tractor
can lay that foundation sure. It can pillow far deeper
than horsepower. DO it far more quickly and with little
OF the c,rt-brcatlng labor which the ]plowsharc demands
as its toll The tractor is another omen Of the ircer.
happier life Of the farmer.
And IN the audience at Enid the cities Of Oklahoma
should be represented, for the cities should be as inter
cstcd in farm progress as are the farmers themselves.
Our 1910 census told of the decay OF the country, the
,tcady drift to the city OF country boys and girls. A
back land movement was organized. There was
sentiment IN It, It was rich IN good intention. But It

must do more than offer a gray-haired competence to
it, youth II must offer real opportunity. and the opulencc

farm must he worth living.
The tractor points the way. How to hasten the tractor
to the farm might well engage the energy and business
