Vera Cruz, Mex., June 2,—There is @ report among newspaper corre- spondents -here that. Huerta has re- signed. His resignation, it is said, has - been ‘in ‘posession of, congress since Friday night. By it congress has au- tomatically resigned, as all members are Huerta’s appointees. Their resig- nations’ have not been made public and will not be. Huerta is being strongly persuaded to leave the capi- tal. Tentative stipulatitons, the—na- ture of which is not disclosed, accom- pany his resignation, which was made in writing and placed in the hands of Genera] Blanquet following a long code cable conference with the Mexican mediation commissioners, News of Huerta’s resignation, the report says, was brought here by a Mexican offi- cial, who represents General Jiminez Castro, and has Lohan Big him in his efforts to eliminate Huerta. “Huerta is declared to have given his resignation with the stipulation that it does not become effective un- til he has withdrawn from the capi- tal, and he refuses to withdraw for the present. Huerta'’s Wife Flees? Coincident with the sailing of the Hamburg-American steamer Ypiranga from here persistent rumors, originat- ing in the City of Mexico and brought here by refugees, were circulated that Senora Huerta and her four sons were aboard the ship. The Ypiranga cleared for Europe by way of Ha- vana, As it left the harbor the Ger- man cruiser Dresden unexpectedly hauled up its anchor and followed to sea, There was a report also that the liner’s destination was Puerto Mexico. According to these reports in the City of Mexico, Sénora Huerta and her sons went to Puerto Mexico sev- era] days ago on a special train, es- corted by palace guards. They board- ed the. Ypiranga there and remained -in-seclusion during: the steamer's-stay “in this: port., e Elections July 57 The City of Mexico, June 2—The views of President Huerta with regard to the settlement to which the Niaga- ra Falls peace conference is directing its efforts have never yet been de- fined, but according to persons close to the president, he has proposed that the elections for president, vice presi- dent, senators, deputies and state gov- ernors should be held July 5 next, as decreed by congress. Germans Furnish Bond. Vera Cruz, Mex., June 1—The Ham- burg-American steamer Ypiranga was still at her dock, the collector of cus- toms, Captain Herman O. Stickney, having refused to accept the bond for the Ypiranga and the Bavarian of the fame line, because it was drawn on Sunday. The bond was executed and Consul Canada’s seal affixed, however, and the Ypiranga probably will sail for Havana immediately. An examination of the fines levied by Collector Stickney on the two ves- sels for landing arms and the muni- tions at Puerto Mexico shows that they amount to. more-than 1,000,000 peses, covering numerous infractions of the Mexican regulations. Filipino Boy Released. Consul Canada was expecting the arrival from the capital of the Fili- pino mess boy of the battleship Flor- ida, having received a personal mes- Sage from President Huerta, assuring him the boy had. been released.

SAFE IN LETTING IT DRAG Possum’s Tail Evidently Could Not Wander Far From Its Owner's Po ion, Capt. Brinton B. Davis has returned from his annual-outing with the Junt- per Hunting club on Lake George, Fla., with a batch of anecdotes. Sev- eral‘of them relate to Jim Rogers; an anoient negro survival of “de days foh de wah,” who still holds forth m the Juniper hunting reserve and pilots the Louisville Indians, who oth-; erwise might end up heaven knows where. Jim was out with Hugh Nevin one day.. The two found a peculiar track. Following the line of what were plain- ly footprints was a small, continuous: furrow, 5 “What kind of a track is that, Jim?” asked the:puzzled Mr. Nevin. “Det’s a possum track, sah,” ex- plained the old negro. “But how does he make that fur- row?” “He make dat furrer wid his tail.” “With his ‘tail?” “Yes, suh. He lets his tail drag.” “Why do you suppose he lets it drag?” ; “Ah doan’ know, boss. I jes’ reckin he doan’ pay no. ’tention to dat tail: S'pose he thi ‘i.e0me along, any- how.” Louliei taken ) ‘ ‘Ancther Ghost Laid.

Behold! something that almost scared him to death. He could hardly. move with fright. He watched it for a few seconds. According to his story it was a ghost, that raised its land every. little while and pointed toward him. Plucking up nerve, he got out of bed and made for Friend Spectre. It raised its arm and pointed at him again. He shrank back; but when he made another move in its direction, the arm went up again. McGuire made a lunge and grabbed it. It was his shirt. He had placed it on the back of a chair.close to a win- dow, and the wind did the rest. ~ : Costly Ancestors. Two close-fisted Missouri brothers sued a neighbor for $375 owing on a land deal. They engaged the best lawyer in their county seat. The law- yer won the case. The brothers called to see about his fee. One stayed out- side and the other went in. “How much is it?” he asked. ~ “Well,” said the lawyer, “I won't be hard on you. I have known both you boys since you were children, and I knew your pap. I guess $300 will be about right.” The inquiring brother went out dazed. ‘Lordly, George,” he, said to the one outside, “I’m durn glad he didn’t know grandpap, too.” ‘ Old Memories.

FEDERAL COURT DECISION THROWS OPEN OIL LANDS) California Judge Nullifies With- drawal Made by Former President Taft. Los Angeles, June 1.—A withdrawal order by which William H. Taft, while President-in 1909, exempted from entry government lands in Cali- fornia, variously estimated in value at from 250 to 1,000 million dollars, was declared invalid in a decision of! Judge Maurice T. Dooling of the United Stattes district court of San Francisco, which reached Los Angeles by mail today. Judge Dooling heard the case in Los Angeles, sitting in| Place of Judge Olin Wellborn, who) considered himself disqualified. Judge Dooling’s decision nullifies the order by which the former Presi- dent planned to provide a great source of fuel for the American navy by ex- empting the oi] land from entry by private locaters and gives to the Mid- way Oil Company and the Standard Oil Company, the principal defendant, undisputed possession. The application for an order re- straining the defendants trom further use of the land and tora receiver is| denied. Similar actions now pend- ing will be affected by the decision. Judge Dooling,.in his ruling, says: “The effect of these withdrawal or- ders is to suspend the mineral laws of the United States. power cannot permanently affect such legislation, “The promulgation of the wicadraw- al orders in question, I believe to be one ramification of a growing tend- ency to concentrate in the executive More. power than can be traced to any specific constitutional or legis: lative provision.” Judge Dooling referred to the claim that such authority existed and had as its basis the long acquiescence by congress in the exercise by the execu- tive of the power to reserve public lands for public purj-oses. It was beld clear by Judge Dooling, however, after reference was made to several court decisions, tbat while withdrawal orders have very fre- quently been upheH, that ‘no general power of withdrawal exists.” KANSAS GIRL WINS A PRIZE Gold Meda! and Free Trip toWtlania for.
