MAY BURY HUERTA, DE
POSED RULER IN MEXICO
[Continued l>om First Page.]
ceraUon as a federal prisoner at Port
Bliss last July. Attending physicians
attributed death to a complication of
li\ er complaints, which caused a gen
et al breakdown.
The general's condition first be
• ante alarming last Fall and he was
transferred from Fort Bliss to his
home in El Paso. Apparently im
proved after a stay at home, he again
was removed to the fort. Shortly
a fte.r Christmas, physicians recom
mended immediate removal to his
home again. From that time on his
decline was rapid.
Only two days ago a federal grand
jury, in San Antonia. Tex., returned
indictments against Huerta charging
conspiracy to violate the neutrality
laws of the United States.
General Bravo, a close friend
speaking of the treatment of Amer
icans in Mexico during Huerta's reign
recalled instructions contained in a
dispatch seat to him by Itucrta at
the time the American marines were
landed at Vera Cruz, in April. 1914,
and giving instructions to Bravo to
protect the lives and property of
American citisens. The telegram read:
"1 give you extraordinary power to
take all the measures that are neces
sary to the end that under your strict
responsibility you protect the lives
and property of American citizens."
Regarded as Tyrant
Genera! Victoriano Huerta. for 171
months Dictator of Mexico, incurred I
the hatred of most Mexicans, although
the loyalty of a large number cannot
be denied. His supporters insist his j
rule of force was as well justified as !
the reign of Porilrio Diaz and that If!
his position had been equally strong, j
he would have repeated the record of
"benevolent despotism." To the world
in general, however, he was an evil \
tyrant, a selfish and unpatriotic per- ,
s.»n who lived only to gratify his own '
desires.
Huerta lived as an army officer in j
many garrisons until ISWo. when, as |
a colonel, he participated In the cam- |
paign against Canuto Neri. the ban- 1
dit of the Sfste of Guerrero.
He was so successful that in 190t
he was sent against Rafael del Castro. I
another Guerrero rebel. In the same ;
year he suppressed a revolt of Maya i
Indians in Yucatan, and the next year !
he was brevetted a general of brigade |
in recognition of his services.
Became Popular
General Huerta became so popular
that President Diaz distrusted him
and kept him inactive for four years.
Huerto returned to the army, and the
next year he was ordered to quell
Kmili.-ino Zapata, the elusive bandit
of Morelos. He could not capture
JSapata, but his campaign has olli- 1
cially praised.
Provisional President Licenciado 1
Francisco de la Barra sent Huerta .
i'gainst Zapata again, but when Ma-1
d<ro became president Huerta was rc-!
called.
For a year Huerta was a general!
without a command. But Pascual |
< irozco. who was in revolt against
Madero in the north, was advancing.
The Minister of War was sent in
against him, and then Huerta receiv-j
ed command of the disorganized'
rmy. He met Orozco at Conejos j
May 12. 1812, and scored a victory.!
i u-ozco was defeated again at Rellano I
and at Bachimba.
Keign of Terror
Then came the "decena tragica" l
.tragic ten days- when 5,000 persons i
were killed in the streets of Mexico
City. Bernardo Reyer. Felix Diaz and
Manuel Mondragon attempted a coup
d'etat February 9, 1913, and Madero
put Huerta at the head of his de
tense. After frightful bloodshed Hu
erta turned traitor to Madero. arrest
ed him and his cabinet and forced
the leaders of the revolt into exile.
A few days later, the kindly Madero.
with his wife pleading on her knees
for his life from the Dictator, was shot
"trying to escape."
Other heads of the previous Ad
ministration died mysteriously. It
was the beginning of a reign of ter
ror, in the course of which hundreds
are believed to have been secretly
executed. Huerta flaunted both Mex
ican constitution and international
law.
Until midsummer of 1914. however.
Huerta refused to yield. On April 21.
1914, United States forces seized Vera
Cruz. The "A-B-C" powers brought
about mediation between the Huerta
government and the Constitutionalists,
the meeting being held at Xiagara
Falls. It was hard to say whether the
mediation efforts or the capture of
Zacatecas and other cities near the
capital compelled Huerta to abdi
cate.

The picture was taken last summer by
Miss Pearle V. Goodhart, stenographer
in the office of the Bradstreet Mer
cantile Agency, 20 North Second

* friend was visiting in Mexico.
The picture was taken while Gen
eral Huerta was a prisoner ut Fort
Bliss. Texas. He is in company with
his interpreter, the Mexican Gen
eral being unable to speak Eng
lish. It was with some pursuuslon
that General Huc-rta consented to pose.
He asked Miss Goodhart where she
was from and when told, "Harris
burg. Pennsylvania," he answered, "I
want to visit that city so much to
see the beautiful Capitol."]

Bids for grading and sewering the j

erecting an automobile speedway and \
fair buildings thereon, were opened
yesterday afternoon at the office of 1
the company in the Kunkel building
j and sent to the architects, Graham,
j Burnham and Company, of Chicago,
for tabulation. The contract will be
signed upon the recommendation of
that firm in the offices of the archi
tects next Tuesday morning and the
work will be started as soon there
after as possible.
The advent of real wintry, "grip"
producing weather has caused a com
plete shutdown naturally to all out
door work in the building line, but
real estate men and contractors are
already figuring by thair cosy fire
sides on possibilities for an early start
in the Spring.
Most of the building operations
which had started in the early Fall
will only need the finishing touches in
the Spring; other operations have
been completed; but many new jobs
are planned for the new year's work.
While real estate men and con
tractors are figuring on their own
plans for the year they are keeping
a pretty close watch on the "Hard
scrabble" situation and its possibili
ties in the realty world.
The report of the "Hardscrabble"
viewers' refjprt has been filed with the
Dauphin county court and will be pre
| sented for confirmation within the
j next thirty days. However, the af
fected property owners are up in arms
; and twenty or more of them have or
j ganized to tight the condemnation
proceedings in the courts.
The new association will met to
night to decide upon definite plans
for the campaign and to appoint com
mittees on membership, etc.
