Huerta in Despair Asks
Help of Porfirio Diaz.
WASHINGTON, Nov 29 Di<-
patehes from Mexico City saying that
President Huerta han tabled to Pof-
i firlo Diaz in Paris to return and re
sume his old military command were
interpreted In Administration circles
)>ere to-day as convincing evidence
that the power of Huerta is crum
bling. and he has recalled the form*r
i dictator in a last desperate effort to
I retain the lYesidency.
| The reports, It was pointed out,
j merely show the logical development
of conditions in Mexico City, of which
I the Administration had private infor
mation. It was this information whleh
<'ll used Presdent Wilson to announce
recently that Huerta's strength was
"crumbling” and mat the Unite!

period.
Absentee Investors, Despotic
Rule, Cause Mexico’s Woes
From affluence to poverty, from
peace and order to anarchy and mas*
sai re. from one of the great nations
of the world to one of the semi-bar
barous countries -that has been the
history of Mexico in three years
Mexico stood at the apex of her
glory September 16, 1910, the cen
tenary of her independence from
Spain. Porflrio Diaz's government
was the only American power
save Brazil to maintain an embassy,
as distinguished from a legation, at
Washington With a population of
13,000,000, and an area equal to the
United States east of the Mississippi
and south of New York, she gb od
fifth among the gold and first among
the silver-producing nations of the
world: and her immensely rich ngri
cultural resources were being .en-
t ideally developed.
The Basic Weakness.
Rut Mexico’s peace and prosperity
had fundamental weaknesses. It was
dependent on the hand of a monarch,
and its funds for development had
come from other nations. The Unit -
ed States had invested nearly $1,000,-
OOOAlOO in Mexico; England. $320,000,-
000; France, $143,000,000, and other-
foreign countries $118,000,000. Her
own citizens had invested only $800,-
000,000.
There developed a yearning for
democratic government in the far
north of Mexico, which resulted In til?
candidacy of Francisco I. Madero, son
of an immensely wealthy and influen
tial family, for the Presidency in 1910.
He drew up a schem* of reform,
known as the "Plan of San Ini is P *-
tosi.” He was beaten In the election
-a farce, of course—was thrown into
Jail and probably would have been
shot escaping,” according to th<‘
pleasant little Mexican custom, had
not his family been so influential. As
it was, he was allowed to go to the
United States, and there straightway
organized a revolution.
His father and his many brothers
supjvorted him. The Waters-Pler*e
(»ll Company, shut off from anticipa
tion in the development of Mexico’.?
oil fields by tlie favors shown in Honl
< ’owdray (Sir Weeiman Pearson) by
Diaz, supp’led the sinews of war.
W ashington finally woke up tc* the
fact that American residents in Mex
ico might he murdered and American
investments destroyed in the conflict.
Without much announcement. Presi
dent Taft mobilized an entire divi
sion at San Antonio in the spring ot
1911 A brigade of three regiments
was stationed at Galveston, a brigad'
of infantry in Southern California, a
squadron of battleships and cruisers
at Galveston, nd a smaller fleet at
San Diego Mr. Taft notified Diiz
tha» no hostile move was Intended
that the soldiers were simply on the
spot to maintain order,
Americans Wounded.
In \pr!I there was a tight opposl e
Dougla.*- Ariz., between Federals and
rebels, and stray bullets wounded five
persons in the American border town.
President Taft dispatched a sharn
note to Diaz. Partly due to this. Diaz
slipped to Vera Cruz and embarked
for Europe. Senor Francisco de la
Barra, who had been Ambassador a»
Washington became provisional Pres
ident until Senor Madero was elect
ed, October 15, and took office.
Then Madero made what many con
sider ills fatal mistake. He refused to
follow the cruel methods traditional
In Mexico when rebels are caught. He
sent Reyes to prison for sixteen years
Instead of following the “law of
flight." which would have resulted in
a shooting under pretense of justi
fication. He caused no political ex

to fight In the south under some the
ory or other. In the north Pascual
Orozco, Madero’s ally, headed an In
surrection and even took Juarez.
Madero put down two revolts
of the clentlflcos. Now came the
third and final one. On February 9.
1912, about half the army mutinied
and both Reyes and Felix I>laz were
liberated.
Reyes was killed in an attack upon
the National Palace. Then came the
battle in the streets of Mexico City.
There was an artillery fight between
the arsenal and the National Palace,
in which thousands of civilians. In
cluding manv women and children,
fell.
Huerta Turns Traitor.
Madero’s principal reliance was a (
hard-bitted old soldier, General Vic- !
to-iano Huerta. This man had earned
a imputation as a fighter and little
else. Suddenly he turned traitor to
Madero. The political bee had got
into his bonnet. Diaz thought he had
gone over to the ctentifieo leader, and
so it seemed for a time. Diaz and
Huerta imprisoned Madero. his rela
tives, and members of the administra
tion. Then Diaz suddenly—every
thing happens suddenly in Mexico- -
discovered the leader was not himself,
but Huerta. He acquiesced with some
grace. Huerta was proclaimed Pro
visional President under an agree
ment that Colonel Diaz would run
for the Presidency in the coming elec
tion?. This was on February 18.
Five days later came the most dis
graceful episode in modern history
the murder of Francisco Madeio.
With Senora Madero imploring in
tears for his life, the kindly deposed
President and his Vice President,
Suarez, were shot “trying to escape”
as they were being transported across
Mexico City in the early morning from
the palace to the penitentiary. Huerta
u at cused of murder In man) quar
ters. Several months later, to an.i-
cipate a bit. Dominguez, the lieuten
ant who had had charge of the squad
which had killed Madero and Suarez,
was himself slain. “Dead men tell
no tales.”
Crude Methods.
More crude methods were taken to
get rid of some Maderistas. The
President's brother, who hud been
Minister of Finance, was slain in cold
blood in bis cell, his nose and ears
were cut off. and his body was sub
Jected to other indignities.
This was what led President Wil
son to say in bis speech at Swarth-
more. Pa.. “Government stained by
blood can not endure.”
The question of recognition of
Huerta, now undoubtedly in control
of tin* most Important part of Mex
ico. hs the de facto ruler, came up.
President Taft, who was about to end
his administration, naturally did not
seek to establish a policy for Mr.
| Wilson, having no desire »o embar
rass him. Just one week after bis in
auguration President Wilson issued
a statement which made It clear the
United States would not recognize
government by assassination. On this
he has stood ever since
Carranza Make* Progress.
Huerta had scarcely seated himself
on the throne than rebellion broke out
again, with General Venustlano Car
ranza. who had been a close friend of
Madero. in the lead. Carranza has
made great progress, and in fact now
controls more of Mexico than did Ma
dero when Porflrio Diaz abdicated.
The situation since has been grow
ing more and more serious, until many
now believe that intervention by the
United States is tin* only means of
restoring order In Mexico.

Shell Remains Intact Until It
Reaches Enemy and Then
Scatters Shrapnel.
Here we have the very latest in
strument of death and destruction
the newest trump card in the great
Game of War.
It is cylindrical in shape, three
Inches In diameter, about a foot long,
and about as much as you would care
to hold out at arm s length.
It is called a "high explosive shrap
nel shell," and if that somewhat
knotted and combined name has a
tang of German about it, one may
remember that the new destroyer is
the Invention of a German war en
gineer Earhardt b? name.
General R. K. Evans, of the De
partment of the Gulf, balanced the
newest shell on his knee and ex
plained Its construction and purpose.
“Formerly our field artillery carried
two types of shell,” said the General,
"the shrapnel shall, for exploding in
the face of troops In the open and
hurling upon them a shower of balls,
and the high explosive projectile com
monly called a ‘shell.’ used for bat
tering down walls and fortifications,
tearing open earthworks and the like.
“The new shell combines both these
operations, and may be used for ei
ther purpose.
Construction Quite Simple.
“Its construction is quite simple, at
that. At the conical point here we
have a movable ring of brass, marked
like the combination of a safe. In
the base of the shell, extending up
about two inches from the bottom. Is
a chargt of black powder. The bod?
of the cylinder is ocmipied by 250
balls, bedded in high explosive, some
thing like the famous ‘lyddite’ that
caused so much talk by its use by the
British artillery in the Boer war.
“Now, suppose the sin 1 is to be
used as shrapnel -that is. against
troops In the field. The battery pre
ferably is ‘masked.’ or hidden just
over the brow of a hill or rise In the
ground, and if notice of the enemy s
advance has been received earl?
enough, the guns already are trained
to drop their shells at a certain point
on the road, say two miles away.
Set Time Fuse.
“The shell is prepared for firing by
simply ‘setting’ the time fuse, <>f ful
minate. This is done by turning the
brass ring in the point to the figure
that indicates a range of (in this ease)
about 3.400 yards. That automati
cally regulates the amount of fulmi
nate to be burned before the black
powder charge Is reached, so that the
shell, whose speed, of course, is a
fixed and known quantity, is exploded
just in front of the troops on which
it Is aimed, showering upon them, in
stead of one solid missile, 250 balls, at
velocity slightly greater than that
of the shell itself.
“It is, in effect, a prodigious shot
gun spraying the advancing troops
with bullets.
"Now, you can easily Imagine the
terrible effect of a battery of six guns,
or maybe several batteries, playing at
top speed, from a hidden location,
upon a body of troops. If they con
tinue to advance, the gunners, sig
naled by men posted at the hill crest,
change the setting of the time fuses,
so that the shrapnel always is well
spread out and effective when the fly
ing charge explodes.
Great Flying Shotgun.
"The shell is a gigantic flying shot
gun.
“The high explosive powder, in this
case, is no more active than the same
amount of sawdust wmuld be. It does
not explode, and is not intended t >.
But when the object is to batter down
a wall or demolish fortifications the
time fuse is not sot, but a percussive
or striking detonator is fixed so that
the high explosive charge in the sheil
explodes on striking anything—stone,
brick, sandbags, wood or even soft
ea rth."
Throe sizes of the new shell are
made for our batteries—3-lnch, 4-inoh
and 6-inch, the last for the howitzer?*.
The larger sizes contain proportion
ately more explosive and balls, but
the operation is identical. The pret
tiest part of the mechanism, undoubt
edly. is the tinting device, which per
mits the shell to be exploded at any
point in its (light with beautiful ac
curacy. That, of course, necessitates
absolute uniformity in the velocity of
the projectile, and In the burning of
the fulminate fuse, which Is ignited
by the dischar**’« of the gun.
War Now Mathematics.
“The game of war.” said General
Evans, "has come to he largely a mat
ter of cold mathematics. Particular
ly is that true in the case of artlller?,
either on land or sea. The illustra
tion of a masked battery dropping
shells over the brow of a hill upon
troops two miles away is only one of
the commonplaces of modern field ar
tillery operations.”
But 1t does take shrewd mathemati
cal application, and a very high or
der of Intelligence—the operation of
these terrible “peacemakers." And
that leads the general to another ob
servation.
Favors Large Standing Army.
“How on earth could untrained vol
unteers. or even militia, be expected
to handle such weapons with any ef
fect?" he wonders. "It is a tremen
dous argument for that greatest of
all brands* of ‘peace Insurance’—an ef
ficient and adequate standing army
and n thoroughly organized body of
reserves.”
\fter which General Evans Is in
clined to speak feelingly of the Army
League, which he is assisting to or
ganize. to achieve just the ends he has
mentioned.
NEW YORK, Nov. *29 The mys
tery surrounding the disappearan -e
last November of Mrs. Charles A.
Moore's $20,000 Russian sable coat
and its recovery was penetrated yes
terday.
Mrs. Moore and her husband are
now on their way to Southern France.
Mrs. Moore has taken the coat with
her. They live at the Berkeley.
The story of the theft, as told to
The American by S. Tyler, manager
of the Berkeley, is that of daring.
The story of the recovery Is uncanny.
Mrs. Moore purchased the coat from
Balch, Price & Co., in Fulton street,
Brooklyn. A messenger was sent to
Manhattan with the luxurious wrap
the following day. The boy reached
the Berkeley. A taxicab stood at the
curb. Two men intercepted the coal
bearer in the vestibule.
Impersonates Husband.
One said that he was Mr. Moore.
He would take the coat inside. He
signed the receipt. The boy left, and
the coat disappeared with the men
in the taxicab.
A reward of $2.non w as off( red foi
its return. For nine months the po
lice of Manhattan and Brooklyn and
private detectives searched in vain.
One day a man who declared that
for $3,000 the coat would be I
presented himself to Mrs. Moore. He
declared that should the police be
called in he would close his mourn
and, if necessary, go to prison. He
added that the coat would be sent to
Amsterdam and there sold. Mrs.
Moore agreed to make it a private
matter.
That night, at an appointed place
two fur experts from Balch, Price «v
Co.’s were taken into a cab. They
were blindfolded and driven for about
two hours. They were taken into a
basement still blindfolded. A fur coat
was thrust into their hands. They
agreed that it was the sable gar
ment for which they were looking.
Blackmail Paid.
They delivered the three $1,000 hill?
and were taken back to the sidewalk
where a different cab awaited. Still
blindfolded and accompanied by one
of their escorts they were driven t-j
Washington Square. There their es
cort jumped from the cab and the
experts snatched the bandages from
their eyes.
On the ffoor of the cab lay a bund'o.
They opened it, and found the long
lost Russian sable coat.
Harrington Wallis, head of the firm
of Balch, Price & Co., refused to do
more than admit that the coat was
returned. Mr. Tyler, however, ad
mitted the truth of the story.

CHICAGO. Nov. 29.—'The Chicago
Railways Company has been ordered
to pay $3,500 for cutting off the right
leg of Bernadette Crowell. The child

Two juries voted 11 to 1 in each
case in favor of assessing damages
from $10,000 to $15,000. In the first
trial the solitary juror held out un
til a disagreement was reported. In
the second trial recently the solitary
juror held out until he induced the

Death Loses Huge
Estate; Then Saves It
STEELEVILLE, MO., Nov. 29.—
Death, It is said, caused the loss 25
years ago to claimants of an estate val
ued at millions of dollars and death
may now bring about the partition of
the estate.
When the Largent and Bean estates
were adjudicated more than a quarter
of a century ago the greater part was
awarded, it is alleged, to Roy Bean, a
bachelor, who died recently in Missis
sippi, leaving an estate valued at more
than $3,000,000.
Upon receipt of information from W.
(i. Largent, of Texas, that the Roy Bean
estate would be escheated unless the
heirs were found. Stephan and his wife
planned to file claim to the estate.

BOSTON, Nov. 29.—Walter Scott
Hughes. Institute of Technology,
class of 1913—extended—is some
parasangs in advance of the unknown
donor of the $1,000,000 check, as a
man of mystery, according to fel
low-students at Tech
For they say Hughes is:
"The pride of Tech."
A grind.
A dreamer.
A hater of the conventions as re
gards dress.
A millionaire, yet most democratic.
And last, but not least, a leader
in the army trying to solve the high
cost of living.
Hughes, w’ho is a resident of Mil-
ton. is the son of the late William
Hastings Hughes, for years a w’ealthv
importer of wines. Ho is 26. was
graduated from Milton Academy , and
later spent three years at Williams
College.
On the roof of the Walker Build
ing at Tech, a reporter found Hughes
trying to extract a high-class sugar
from a caroon monoxide or some oth
er solution. Nearly six feet tall,
gaunt of frame, his upper lip hid
den by a drooping moustache,
Hughes looks older than the average
Tech man.
Tie Was Askew.
Hughes’ tie was askew as he
worked. His soft collar was open
at the throat, and the ancient shoes
that covered his* feet were almost
separated from the heels.
Although wealthy in his own name
and heir to an estate estimated at a
million, Hughes is always striving to
lower the cost of living. Daily, in
stead of helping to pay the expense
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford. Hughes hikes to his home
in Milton. “It’s good exercise." he
said, “and it is saving. And I am
some saver.”

COLUMBIA. MO., Nov. 29. -After
living ten years a recluse in a little
hut near here, E. E. Tyler, a Univer
sity graduate, came from his seclu
sion long enough to call society a
“frost."
“Yes.” he said, “society is a frost.
Behind its empty shell there are al
ways slimy fingers reaching out for
gold.”
Tyler lives in a little hovel on a
high knoll. He left it recently, but
soon went back.
