The cable correspondence with his
government which he made public
showed further that he insisted that
the Argentine government choose
definitely between his services and
adherence to the proposed convention
which ne alone had opposed.
His resignation was submitted late
Tuesday night although it was not
officially made known until he him
self made it public today. The
Argentine government asked him to
reconsider, expressing conformity to
his views although it was not inclined
to back his intransigeant stand upon

PUBLISHERS ASK
CONGRESS F OR
Low POST RATE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 Po "A
scaling down OF the postal rates for
newspapers and magazines from their
war time heights was asked today
of the house postoffice committee
by spokesmen for magazines and
newspaper publishers.
Opposing a bill by Chairman Griest,
of Pennsylvania, which would reduce
the rates to the 1921 basis, Arthur
j. Baldwin, OF New York, president
OF the National Publishers associa-
ton, and Elisha Hanson, CT Wash
ington, made plea for a further
lowering to the 1920 rate base and
to create special classification for
news dealers bundles.
A group OF three representatives
OF the newspaper publishers associa-
ton, including j. D. Barnum, Of the
Syracuse, N. Y, Post Standard
Howard Davis, OF the New York
Herald Tribune. and r. j. Seeman,
of the st. Louis Globe Democrat, also
presented technical analysis Of the
effect OF the present rates on news
paper circulation.
Baldwin, who appeared for the
American Publishers conference, a
council OF newspaper and magazine
publishing associations, said if the
1920 rates we're established the pub
fishers still would have to bear "one,
half Of the burden. laid on them"
but the publishers were willing to
accept these rates.
"The volume OF newspapers dis
tributed through the mails not only
has decreased since 1920" Hanson
declared, "but is rapidly decreasing
from month to month because Of the
excessive postal charges" He pointed
out that daily newspaper publishers
are resorting to private means of
private circulation OF their publica..
tions, and, although the number OF
subscribers had doubled since 1920
and the volume OF advertising fewer
copies and approximately 30,000,O0O
less pounds per year.

DE LA HUERTA, ON
STAND, DENIES
Law VIOLATION

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 tR-Adolfc
De La Huerta, former provisional
president oI Mexico, as a witness in
his own behalf today emphatically
denied that he had conspired to vio-
late the United States neutrality laws.
De La Huerta testified that he
went to the border with the full
knowledge and acquiescence of the
United States department OF justice
agents. He told OF his arrest in
Nogales, Ariz., while he was seated
in room with friends discussing the
rlnlored Yaqui Indian uprising in
Mexico.
Several Americans entered the
room with drawn guns and arrested
me. They requested me to get into
their automobile which 1 refused to
do because I recognized the chauf-
feur as the Mexican consul at Nogales
and an attache dressed in chauteur'S
clothing. I believed they were going
to take me for a ride, one which l
was not to return from"
He said he had been forced to flee
from Mexico when he opposed the
alleged anti-American policy OF the
administration. The former Mexican
executive and four associates are on
trial in federal court on an indtct-
ment accusing them OF attempting
to provide war materials to the then
revolving Yaqui Indians in Mexico.
Dc La Huerta was one OF the
closing witnesses in the case, testl~
mony being completed today. Argu-
ments will be made to the jury
Monday.
In graphic Spanish phrases trans
lated by an official court interpreter,
the witness told Of the causes leading
up to his break with President Gales
For many years, he said, he and the
present Mexican president were warm
friends with interests in common.
''But there came a time when l
could no longer hold with the con-
duct and policy OF the administra-
tion," he declared. President Gales.
it was apparent to me, had assumed
an anti-American attitude. Things
reached such state that they be-
came intolerable to me because OF
my ideals and friendship for the
United States and bitterly opposed
the policy and was forced to leave
the country to save my life"

10 KNOWN DEAD.
FROM EXPLOSION
OF OIL PLAN I.

EVERETT, Mass, Feb. 10 CP)-With
a conclusion that rocked this city
and was felt for many miles beyond,
a unit Of ten large stills in the
refining plant of the Beacon Oil
company here exploded late today,
causing heavy loss OF life. Early to-
night the known dead numbered ten,
but it was believed that other bodies
lay covered in the red-hot ruins of
the still section. At least SO were
injured, many seriously.
Eight charred bodies had been
taken to an undertaking establish
ment, and, another was taken from
the ruins of the walls of one of
the stills. Vito Raneso, OF Everett,
one of the 80 injured taken to the
Massachusetts, general hospital, died
there of burns.
The oil company's plant occupies
a tract of about so acres on the
bank of the Mystic river in East
Everett. The stills affected form
one unit in total of Is in the
plant. r. B. Kahle, president of the
company, said that the explosion
probably was caused by the failure
of a low pressure Stlll.
The explosion shattered windows
for a wide area about the plant
The stills blew up singly or in pairs.
Flames shot up to a height of 80
feet above the 100 foot structures,
and a pail OF dense smoke hung over
the plant, hampering the work OF
rescue.
About 300 persons were employed
in the entire plant, Of whom $50
were in the section chiefly affected
by the explosion. Most of those killed
were at work about the stills, but III
the machine shop nearby four men
lost their lives. When the fire was
brought under control about two
hours after the first shock six of the
stills had fallen and the other four
were severely damaged. Kahle set
the property loss at $4,000.
