DE LA HUERTA WILL GO
TO WASHINGTON TO-DAY
Mexico Denies Secretary Has
Resigned Office.

MEXICO CITY, July 16 ASSOCIATED
Press) .-Adolfo de la Huerts, Mexican
Secretary Of Finance, who is now in
New York, has been directed by Presi-
dent Obregon 70 proceed Immediately to
Washington to confer with State De
partment onicials. who are said to have
invited him to a conference, according
to information from usually authorita-
tive sources. The understanding here is
that Senior de la Huerta will leave
New York Monday and remain in Wash
ington no longer than two days. and
then proceed to Mexico.
The several postponcments OF the de-
parture OF Senor dc la Huerta from
New York have given rise to much
speculation. One newspaper asserts that
DE Ia Huerta has rendered his resgna-
tion. but this is denied in official quar-
ters.
1t Is reported that the Secretary feels
he has been placed in an embarrassing
position, inasmuch as IL was understood
that he carried full powers TO act when
he left for the United States.

In the proportion of $4,000 to 22,o00,

the early voters express themselves in
favor of some sort of prohibition law.
while more than $4,000. or nearly two

ameliorasing the. present dryness. This
proportion Is interestingly carried out
among the States in sectional groups,
New England so far voting more than
two to one for amelioriation. the north
Central States and the middle Atlantic
States about the same. and a strons
moist sentiment revealing itself in the
Pacific States. Kansas continues to vote
dry. California Is well UP in the mo1st
column, as Is New York. 1t is very close
in Ohio, but Illinois trends to dampness
by two to one.
As regards the bonus proposition. as,
500 record themselves as for IL and
47.469 as against it. The chief vote
tabulated comes from the Eastern States
Illinois, including Chicago, votes two to
one for the bonus, but opposition
in Massachusetts, and Boston shows
strongly. The vote from New York and
New York city is as yet too small to
have significance. The Southern States
are registered in opposition. but it is
indicated that the proposition has many
supporters in the east and west North
Central groups and in the Pacific States.
The Literary Digest distributed 10,-
100000 ballots in an effort to sound
public sentiment accurately and expects
to hear from very large proportion OF
the number. The publication asserts
that this is the first opportunity tha
citizens of the United States have had
to vote en- prohibition.

Indicate that many of the interested
public do not believe that everything

According to table printed in a

insignificant failures. involving about
$1,000 to the gigantic collapses repre-
sented by the cases of e. W. Wagner

Fuller & Co. and Crawford Patton &

Some failures have been utter disas-
ters with hardly a cent left for the
creditors; others have been moro or

bility Of creditors getting close to 100
cents on the dollar. Between the two
extremes there are scores of cases pre-

INDICTMENTS OF 80
ASKED In RUM RING
Chicago Victims Of EStortion
by Former Federal Officials
to Testify.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw YorK HERALD.
CHICAGO, July 16.- District Attorney
Clyne stated tonight that Indictment
of at least Atty members Of the $1,000
coo liquor ring-the most gigantic con-
spiracy to defeat the prohibition laws
yet uncovered in Chicago--will be asked
OF the special Federal Grand Jury.
More than $50 witnesseF, many Of
them victims of extortion practiced by
former Federal officials. will testify.
There are said 10 be score of affi-
davits in the hands of the District At
torney. indicating the brides paid for
protection by brewers, distilers and
others would aggr, gate millions
The first two Indictments TO be asked
will be directed against Harry Mager,
former Collector of Internal Revenue in
the Chicago district, and Benjamin
Mitchell. ex-nlember of the Illinois Leg
islature and nationally known politician.
Several former Assistant United States
Attorneys and the heads of at least three
important Government departments also
are said TO be involved.
BANKERS Are Involved.
Mayer and Mitchell were arrested yes
terday on charges of conspiracy to extort
money from saloon keepers and arc out
on bail.
Evidence against members of the ring.
which is said to include many poFiti-
clans. bankers. brewers and distillers,
was gathered during a six months IN
vestigation conducted by Special Inter-
nal Revenue Intelligence Agent Roche,
under Col. Arthur c. Earnshaw
Two police officials. attached TO sta

involved. In n statement to tho Federal
agents a brewer is said to have admitted
he had been forced to pay s. on each

The boldness with which this organi'

forged permits IN outlying railroad
yards and the city flooded with tho
liquor the same day.

wagner Failure Of 90, ,ooo. 900.

Another type OF case entirely Is that
OF f. w. Wagner & Co.. New York
Stock Exchange house, which failed for
about $4,000, 000-about the largest
amount involved In single failure Of the
sort for many years. There is az yet no
complaint in the District Attorneys Of
flee in this case. The lawyers for the
receiver have been working for months
to arrange a settlement. their prime duty
being to preserve the financial interests
of the creditors. The proposition now
under consideration, which may be made
final soon, involves the payment of the
claims of the creditors in full. fifty cents
in cash and fifty cents on notes--one
hundred cents on the dollar II the notes
ere good.
SO the range OF the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings has a distinct bearing on the
activity Of the District Attorney and on
the results Of the anti-buckct shop
crusade. There are some OF the bank
ruptcy cases which do not seem, from
the evidence thus far adduced, to war.
rant criminal proceedings. There are
other cases in which, apparently.
criminal proceedings would be useless
and might seriously interfere with the
interests OF the creditors. There are still
other cases in which all the evidence
brought out at the bankruptcy hearings,
where great latitude Is allowed. does not
show, conclusively. that crime has been
committed.
These latter instances related, gener-
ally, to persons other than those directly
connected with the failed firms, spe-
cific instance being that Of prominent
sporting man frequently mentioned IN
connection with the affairs Of one Of the
larger bankrupts. The District At
torney has no complaint against this
man.
