Huerta Hastens to
Raise Troops
It Is Reported In Mexico City Dictator
Has Let United States Know of His
intention.
While Provisional President Huer-
ta, of Mexico, has not yet given any
sign of weakening in his attitude of
defiance toward the United States, it
is believed in government circles in
Mexico City that when the congress
meets and the report of the commit
tee on credentiale is read the provis
fonal president's resignation will be
offered. There is nobody to whom
Huerta can resign excepting to con-
gress.
Many persons express the belief that
Huerta, if he intends to resign, has
allowed the United States government
to know of his intention to resign to
the new congress after it has ratified
all of his movements since the disso-
lution of the previous congress.
This is taken in some quarters as an
explanation of the failure of the Unit.
ed States to take prompt and drastic
action following the organization of
the new congress.
It is rumored persistently that For
eign Minister Moheno will resign from
Huerta's cabinet this week. It is also
asserted that Senor Urrutia will again’
head the department of the interior. |
Some officials declare that the post
has already been offered to him, but
bas not been accepted.
It is regarded as possible that con-|
gress may name some one else for|
provisional president for a period en:
suing until the election and inaugu-|
ration of a permanent chief executive,
but it would undonbtedly be a big
surprise to most Mexjcans if Huerta
should not be instructed to continue
at the head of affairs.
Asked about the relations with the,
United States, Huerta said:
“In so far as | know there is 20
change in relations between the two
countries. What follows depends on
the United States. We are waiting.
Any action which will alter the rela:
tions between the United States and
Mexico must originate in Washington,
not here.” i
It is reported that Huerta will take
the field against the rebels, who are
sweeping all northern Mexico, captur
ing many towns and opening the way
for an advance vpon the capital, He
intends to lead into battle the greatest
Mexican army that was ever gathered,
This explaantion was given of his ac
tion in calling upon the governors of
the various states of Mexico to put in
to the field all their available men, as
he desired to raise an army of 150,000
soldiers.
Huerta has little hope of stopping
the campaign of the Constitutionalists
in the north, but with this great army
he expects to deal a crushing blow to
Carranza when the revolutionary
leader brings his forces within strik
ing distance.
All trains for Vera Cruz are crowd
ed with foreign :efugees, the major ty
being Americans, whose flight was
quickened by the report that the reb-|
els are investing Orizaba, a town mid- |
way between the capital and the coast,
Repeated rumors that General Blan
quet is plotting to overthrow Huerta
have served to increase the danger,
according to the opinion of the foreign:
ers in Mexico City. They believe that
the upheaval would be accompanied,
by frightful excesses.

SUES DENTIST FOR ILLNESS
Blames Shock to System on Work of
Scranton Doctor,
Declaring that he has been physi
cally ruined through the carelessness
of a dentist in fixing a cap to a tooth,
Alfred Marsden, cf Jersey City, ap
peared in the United States court in
Scranton, Pa.. to press his claim for
$10,000 damages against Dr. Robert F
Tavlor, of Scranton.
Marsden maintains that his spine,
nervous system, sight and general
health have been affected in conse.
quence of the dentist's treatment.
Marsden was passing through Scran-
ton two years ago, and was seized with
toothache enroute. He says he got off
the train and went to Dr. Taylor's
office, a half block from the station.
He alleges that the doctor inserted a
pin to keep the cap in place and that
the pin worked downward into the
jaw. Ulceration developed, which af
fected the patient's nervous system.
The nervous strain has injured his
spine and his sight has become de
fective.

Miller Defends
Whipping Post
Delaware Executive Replies to Pro-
tests Against Relic of Barbarism and
Warns Evil-Doers it Will Stay.
Despite the nation-wide protest made
against the continuance of the whip-
ping post in the state of Delaware,
Governur Charles R. Miller gave out a
statement in Wilmington, in which he
declared that his state would com-
tinue to do as it pleased, without re-
spect to the opinion of the nation in
general,
Governor Miller's defi was issued,
following a storm of protest against
the public whipping of two negroes.
The punishment of the twe men fol
lowed closely on an agitation started
in congress to force Delaware to abol-
ish its relic of barbarism—probably
the last whipping post in the civilized
world.
Governor Miller's statement reads:
“The courtsand other legal author
itles of the state of Delaware will ad-
minister the internal affairs of the
commonwealth regardless of any at-
tempted interference by a member of
congress or of individuals residing in
other states, who are ignorant of con-
ditions and permit themselves to be
misled by extravagant and highly col-
ored newspaper articles.
“The persons who have written me
numerous letters, some of them abus-
ive and insulting to the citizenship of
the state, should pause to consider
that state government in America is
based upon a statutory law by men
elected by the people.
“I shall uphold the stati's. courts in
the administration of the law rnd
warn all evil-doers to give Delaware a
wide berth if they wish to escape the
whipping post.”
He said the whipping post was the
fundamental punishment for erime to
evil-doers in Delaware since 1656 and
will continue to be so far as he is pe
sonally concerned until the people b
their own (ree will decree n*herwis-,
Governor Miller personally ‘avor
the whipping post. He concidere |
one of the most effective barriers ‘o
vicious criminais, and points ‘no the
minimum rece?! of crime in Delaxa ¢
as largely due ‘o the fear of the whin
ping post With this mode of punish
ment abandoned. he is of the belie!
that Wilmington would hecome a stop-
ping off place for the biggest criminals
| in the country from the large cities
with which Wilmington is in line,
namely, New York, Philadelphia, Ba!
| timore and Washington.
Defends Whipping Post In Congress.
The bareback whipping of convicte
in Delaware was defended in the house
by Representative Brockson, of that
state, in a speech that bristled with
Biblical quotations and legal citations
in favor of the rod and thou shalt de
liver his sou! from hell.
Mr. Brockson declared as false the
Delaware had admins
tered “cruel and unusual punishment,”
| and said the practice of making mar
tyrs of criminals was a curse to mod-
ern society.
“The sta‘e of Delaware,” Mr, Brock-
son declared, “being satisfied of the
justice of her laws, is willing to stand
alone for that which is right rather
than to stand with the multitude for
that which is wrong.
“All through the Bible,” cried he,
“we are taught that corporal punie"
wve a good effect.
shall not dle,” he quoted.
shalt beat him with the rod and thou
shalt deliver his soul from hell.”
Mr. Brockson quoted Theodore Roose
velt as saying, when president, that
certain offenders needed a special
type of punishment and that “prob
ably some form of corporal punish
ment would he the most adequate way
of meeting this kind of crime” (wile
| beating).
