PRESIDENT 20 DAYS
When he departed from the capital
Huerta turned over the Presidency
10 Francisco Carbajal, one of his cab
met. Carbajal remained in office %
avs long enough to arrange the
peaceful occupation of Mexico City
by Carranza and the surrender of the
Huerta forces. He fled from Mexico
to Galveston. He now is engaged in
the practise of law in the United
States.
Carranza although actually in
ontrol, under the title of "First
Chief of the Constitutionalist Armies
n Charge of the Executive Power"
hunned the title of President for
early three years, but he was an
early victim to the power habit. A
civilian himself he had no real hold
on the army or its leaders. His days
were filled with subterfuges and con-
nivings to prevent any any of bis
generals from becoming too power
full to overshadow him. In pairs
he played them off one against the
other, taking advantage of every en-
nifty and jealousy he could foster for
his ends.
If one general grew too strong his
pay rolls might be held up acciden-
tally until his men grew disconnected
and began to desert. Honors and
foreign posts were heaped on indi-
viduals whose presence in Mexico be-
came a menace.
Under such a policy there was con-
slant discord among the Mexican
leaders. The old feud between Villa
and Carranza broke out afresh. Ia
pata Joined with Villa as long as the
latter was in the South, but would
not leave his own balliwick to help
him. Finally representatives of the
various rival leaders met at Aguas
Calientes in the summer of 1915 in
an effort fostered by foreign nations
to compose their differences and
choose a temporary President.

ANOTHER SHORT TERM"

They selected Eulalio Gutierrez,
blacksmith who had started the rev.
olution with a fifty pound box of
giant powder and box of illuminate
of mercury caps stolen from a mine
and finished it with a strong and
well equipped army. Carranza did
not recognize Gutierrez, Villa turned
on him, nobody was satisfied with
him as President and after clinging
desperately to the saddle of Mexi-
can office for 20 days, Gutierrez slid
gently off and fled for his life, 60
ing into hiding in the hills between
Saltillo and San Lauis Potosi.
/ Villa disregarding the advice of
the military expert who had made
him, General Felipe Angeles. decided
to meet the Carranza forces on their
own ground. He gave battle at &C.
laya and was thoroughly and decis-
lively whipped and his power broken
by General Oregon, who lost an arm
while leading his men to victory.
With Villa penned in the north the
people of the south clamored for
elections. Their was also considerable
pressure to that end from outide
Mexico an din the early spring of
1917 elections for President were
called
Carranza was nominated, but so
lso were General Alvaro Oregon
nd General Pablo Gonzalez. They
were the two strongest men in the
arranza regime and bitterly OPP
osed to each other. Obregon was
he idol of the army, while Gonzalez
had the support of many of the bust
ness men. The campaign became Bit
ter in the extreme, but Caranza,
clinging tightly to the habit of pow
err, proposed a compromise. 1t is
alleged that an agreement was made
whereby 0bregon ond Gonzalez were
to withdraw from the contest leaving
Carranza unopposed, and in return
Carranza was to keep "hands off,
and allow them to fight it out for
the Presidency in 1920.

The power fiends of either party
began to clamor for their drug. The
Cientificos who had held the upper
hand under Diaz felt all the pangs of
the morphine fiend when they were
deprived in their old prerogatives.
The followers of Madero having, had
a taste of the insidious elixir, were
crazy for more. Felix Diaz, nephew
of the former President, raised the
banner of revolt and marched on
the capital.
TRAGIC TEN DAYS
Then came the Tragic Ten Days,
the "Decena Trajica." Madero, with
supposedly loyal forces was enscon-
ced in the National Palace. Diaz and
his men held the Ciudadela, an ar
senal mile distant. There was wick
ed fighting in the streets beautiful
buildings were demolished by artil-
lery fire, and the sidewalks were
sprayed with machine gun and rifle
bullets. In the midst of the battle
Madero was betrayed. His military
commander, General Victoriano HUI
erta, turned against him and placed
him with Vice-President Pine Suarez
under arrest On February %, 1913,
their bodies were riddled with bullets
fired under alleged excuse of the
"ley fuga" which permits the killing
of prisoner attempting to escape.

HUERTA'S LITTLE JOKE

Carranza raised a revolutionary
force in the north Immediately after
Madero's assassination and InSon-
junction with Pancho Villa and other
chiefs, gradually gained control of
the northern section of the country
Although he lost armies and terri
tory, Huerta neither lost the delusion
of power nor a wicked sense of hu-
lor. They tell of him that once he
had invited the members of Con-
gress to dine with him at the Cafe
Bach. On that day, however, forget
ting the dinner, he became displeased
with Congress dispatched the
Twenty-ninth Battalion, his pet body
of troops to the Chamber of Depu-
ties, placed all the legislators un-
der arrest and had them taken to Be-
lem prison.
That evening he dropped into the
Cafe Bach for his usual 'aparativo"
and was asked by the proprietor to
inspect the banquet room and see if
the decorations met his approval.
Suddenly he remembered his invita-
ton.
"Now isn't that too bad" he said,
"Those gentlemen will think me most
remiBs as a host. | asked them to
dine and l certainly cannot disap-
point them" So he had the banquet
to Belem while he sat alone at the
enormous table at the cafe, playing
packed into baskets and dispatched
host.
Nor were the jests entirely on his
side. When it became evident that
only by Huerta's retirement could
any possibility of order come to Mex
leo, Archbishop Moray of Mexico
City and the Bishops of Puebla and
Guardalajara went to Huerta to urge
that he resign. They pleaded with
him for the sake of the nation to re-
linqush the reins of power, but he
! declined. asserting that for himself
nothing would be more welcome than
retirement from the burdens and
cares of office, but as loyal son of
Mexico he could not leave the coun-
try in its present chaotic state with
out his guidance. At the conclusions
of his speech he knelt before the
episcopal ring and implored tht Arch
bishops blessing.

that no member should discuss or
