REBEL REPRESENTATIVES
 CONFER IN NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, May 14.--Mexicans
 representing the revolutionary gov
 ernxent of Mexico conferred in New
 Orleans today at a local hotel, on the
 situation arising between the new
 regime in Mexico and the United States
 There were at the conference, Rafael
 Zubanan Capmany. Gen. Heribero Jara, former Carranza ambassador to Cuba,
 who resigned his post to side with the revolutionists; Hernando Porez Arbeau,
 Mexican congressman, who has been in
 Cuba to escape the wrath of Carranza, and Francisco Tejada Llorca, sent here by Gov. De La Huera to relieve Noises Garcia of the post of representative of the revolutionary government from Eagle Pass to Washington and along the gulf coast. Llorca arrived in New Orleans to make preparations for the arrival of the others who reached
 here late Thursday on the steamer
 Infanta Isabel. from Cuba.
 Llorca, who acted as spokesman for the party, only partly divulged what | transpired at the conference, but said | the conference was for the purpose of broadening rebel activities and for the undermining of Carranza. Capmany 1 and Arbeu left tonight for Mexico, where they will occupy cabinet posi- l tions in the new government accord i ing to Llorca. Telegrams were sent by | the conference to the Carranza min isters in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, Honduras, Peru, Norway and others urging them to en- | list in the revolutionary party and as- | sist in forming nucleus of govern ment started by De La Huerta.
 | A telegram was also sent to Salva- | dor Diego Fernandez, in charge of the Mexican embassy at Washington
 Jose J. Pesquera, consul under the Carranza government at the port of New Orleans, refused today to turn over the consulate to Noises Garcia, representative of the revolutionary government, saying that he was ap- pointed by Carranza and that as far | as he knew Carranza was still Presi dent of Mexico. Garcia told him his action only delayed shipments, as none of the papers signed by him would be recognized in Mexico and fees col | lected by Pesquera were valueless and | would have to be paid again

 ACCORD ARE REPORTED

| Washington, May 14.-Further in | dication that Pablo Gonzales and Al varo Oregon formerly candidates fol 1 the presidency and now jointly occu- pying Mexico City, are working in ac- cord, was contained in report to the state department today.
 Both have published statements in dorsing Antonio Villareal for pro- visional president.
 An extra session of the Mexican Con- gress has been called to name a pro- visional executive who under the terms of the published programme of the revolutionists, will supervise the elec- tion of a president and serve until December 31, when the new president should assume the office
 Adolfo De La Huerta, preliminary chief of the revolution. was expected to arrive in the capital next week and take charge of affairs until the pro- visional President is named.
 The support given Villarears candi- dacy was one of peculiar interest to American officials because of it's pos sible indication of the character of the proposed government.

RESTORE ORDER FIRST

Azcona, who was placed in tenn porary charge of foreign affairs by Gonzales soon after his occupation of the capital, has announced according to a report from the embassy to the state department, that no effort would be made to establish direct relations with the diplomatic corps until a pro- yisional government is established.
 His announcement is in line with as sertins of the revolutionary. agents here that no effort to obtain recogni- tion either of the United States or any other government would be made un- til order was restored and firm gov ernment established.
 Official interest in the situation was increased by reports that the British consul at Vera Cruz and two Ameri- cans. J. H. Burebucks, representative e of the National City bank, and J. c. Pickwick, representing Lever, Son & Co, of New York, were with Car ranza's fighting group somewhere be- tween the capital and Vera Cruz.

HIGHWAY WORK IS RESUMED
FEDERAL Aid Undertakings Actively
Taken Up After Arnistice, Says
Secretary Houston.

Delayed in it's program Of good
roads construction by the war and
confronted at the end Of that period
:Dy condition Of badly rundown
highways, the federal government, CO.
operating with the highway depart
'ments of the several states has re-
;sumed the vigorous prosecution Of the
work, and, says David F. Houston,
secretary Of agriculture, there is now
mo special obstacle to the construc.
ZION, In the different states of the
union, of those roads which serve the
greatest economic needs. In his an
'nual report, Secretary Houston says:
Good roads are essential to the
prosperity and well-being of urban and
rural communities alike. They are
prerequisite for the orderly and sys-
'tematic marketing of farm products
,1or the establishment of satisfactory
rural schools, and for the develop
;ment Of a richer and more attractive
rural life. Recognizing these facts.
the federal government, through the
passage Of the federal aid road act in
I916, inaugurated a policy Of direct
financial participation in road-building
operations in the various states. This
act appropriated $75,O00OO0, to be
matched by an equal amount from the
states, for the construction of rural
post roads over a period Of five years.
and $1O,OOO,000- 100000 q year for
10 years-for roads within or partly
within the national forests. 1t re-
!Quired each state to have a responsible
central highway commission with the
requisite powers and funds. All the
states have complied with the terms
OF the act, although it was necessary
for them to enact additional legisla-
!tion, or to amend their constitutions;
to provide sufficient funds to match
the federal apportionment; and to
strengthen existing central highway
bodies or to\create new agencies.
when these preliminary steps had
been practically completed and the de-
|partment and the states we're about
ready to proceed vigorously with the
actual construction Of roads, the
United States entered the war. It soon

became necessary greatly to curtail
highway building because Of the DIFF
dculty of securing transportation, con-
struction materials, and the requisite
services. After the armistice was
signed, arrangements promptly we're
made for the active resumption and
vigorous prosecution Of road work in
all sections Of the country, not only
with q view to repair the damage
wrought by the heavy traffic forced
upon our highways during the war.
when maintenance operations were
seriously interfered with, but also to
provide adequate transportation facili-
ties to serve the increased needs Of
agriculture and industry. Recognizing
also that road building activities
would furnish suitable employment
for many unemployed men during the
period of transition from war to peace,
the congress at its last session, ac-
ceptinE the recommendation Of the
department Of agriculture, appropriate
ed 500, ,OOO, 600, in addition to the $780,
OOO, 600 provided by the original act,
for the extension of road construction
in cooperation with the states, and
also made some important amend
ments to the act. The definition Of
the kind of roads that can be con-
structed was greatly broadened and
the Limitation on the federal contribu-
ton for any one road was increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 mile. These
amendments have greatly facilitated
consideration of and action upon the
road projects submitted by the state
highway commissions. There Is now
no special obstacle to the construc-
tion, in the different states Of the
Union. of the roads which serve the
greatest economic needs"

Insects Give Us SheI1ac.

Shellac Is the joint product OF In
sects and plants and comes from India.
The lac insects are about one-twenty-
fifth of an inch long, bright red In
color. They suck the juices of plants,
digest them and exude them In the
form Of resin, which soon encases the
whole insect. When the young insects
have swarmed out, the resin IS
