HUERTA RULES
' MEXICO WITH
V. IRON HAND
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—
f United Press today received the
■'following dispatch from Provi
: slonnl President Huerta of Mexi
'. CO.
j "Mexico City is In perfect or
der. The entire country, without
, exception, accepts the new con
' stitutional government which in
tends to restore peace In order to
give nil guarantees given in all
civilized countries. There is ab
solutely no risk of any new dis
orders that could put the lives
. and interests of foreigners in
I danger." .
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
MEXICO CITY Feb. 23. —The
iron handed rule of Provisional
- President Huerta today has Mex
ico City's populace under com
plete subjugation. There is an
under current of resentment
against the killing of former Pres
ident Francisco I. Madero and
\ Vice President Suarez, but no one
. dares voice open disapproval. One
small' newspaper attacked the of
ficial version of the shooting. Its
entire edition was bought by
Huerta's agents and the plant
closed clown.
The acceptance by American
Ambassador Wilson of the gov
ernment's version of the killing
„of Madero and Suarez has re
lieved Americans and other for
eign residents here. They con
sidered it a discreet move by
Wilson to not assist in any popu
lar agitation.
Despite Huerta's repressive
I measures, some slight defection
i was reported today in the federal
IjgarrUon here. It was not of a
serious nature, however, and the
government officials have the sit
uation well in dispatch.

LAWSON HAD IT
OUT HE DIDN'T
KNOW HE DID
AND THAT SOLVES THE MVS
TEHV OF THE DISAPPEAR.
ANCE OF OWEN WOODS'
$410,000 WHICH HAD BEEN
DISTURBING THAT OFFI
CIAL FOR FORTY-EIGHT
HOURS — CONTROLLER
'FEHSES UP.
The question, who got Owen
Woods' $(10,000, is answered.
Nick Lawson has it.
Woods did not s|M-ml within
$(10,000 of his allowance by the
budget of 1012. When he came
to get the money the other day
to spend he discovered it was not
in the city strongbox. Somebody
had been there first. Owen could
not make it out,
Freeland insisted he did not
have it, the mayor admitted he
might have a little off the end
of the pile, but not much; Mills
complained that $6,000 of his was
gone, too, so he was not guilty,
so the controller was called on to
tell where that $60,000 paid in
by the people for Owen Woods to
spend had gone.
Meads showed that Lawson was
on hand regularly every month to
collect his water and light bills
from the city. The general fund
paid him $58,572 for water and
$87,179 for light, making $145,
--752 in all. After Nick got this
money he slipped off and never
heard the city dunning him to pay
his interest bills. The water and
light departments are supposed to
pay the interest on the water and
light debt. But Nick wasn't
around when the bond holder
brought In his coupons, so the
money had to be taken from the
general fund, all but a measly lit
tle $68,625. Here was a $45,000
grab to start with, but that was
not the worst of It. The light
department even got $11,000 extra
on top of this.
This just about made up the
$60,000 Woods is lamenting over.
And the funny thing about it
all is Lawson never knew he had
it. And he has been imagining
his water and light departments
were pretty near keeping the
whole city up.
ATTACKED,
AND THEN
IS ROBBED
Attacked in broad daylight and
robbed of $:',;! is the story told
the. police early today by J. B.
Mitchell of Rainier Valley, who
arrived here this morning from
Seattle on the 7 o'clock boat.
According to the police Mitch
ell says he met a couple of strang
ers on the steamer who became
quite friendly, and after landing
says he - was then enticed to an
alley In the Milwaukee shops
where the men attacked him.
While one used the jlu jitsu
method of holding him the other
went through his pockets and
robbed him of all the cash he had,
$33. They left him rolling on
the ground. : , :
Mitchell reported the matter to
the police immediately and with
a good description of the men the
authorities are searching the: city
for the assailants today.
Mitchell is an engineer about
40 years of age. ,'

money than brain force."
"The many things to remember
are the time, place and the cir

they' buy things because they
look, pretty' as displaced in the

PROJECTS PLANNED

CARRYCITY OWNED STOR
AGE PLANT AND STREET
IMPROVEMENT AMONG THE
THINGS LISTED.
The people will gel a chance to
j vote on the municipal street rail
way tills spring.
| No time has been set by (he
' commission for (he election, but
it will probnhly be toward May
!or June. Commissioner Woods in
j his bond budget provides for a
i complete system with cars and all
I equipment for city ownership and
I o|ieiatioii. The estimate talis for
j IjiHJ.OOO.
11l addition to municipal street
j railway, (he city will also get •
, chance to vote on the municipal
cold storage- plant, which the leg
islature has just granted the city
the right to put In and operate.
What amount this will call for is
I not, yet decided as (he figures
; have not been completed by the
i engineer.
| A third municipal enterprise-1
will be the municipal farm. This
will probably not call for more
than $10,000 or $15,000 at the
most, as Commissioner Mills ex
pects to buy the farm on such a
basis as will not require the full
payment at the start and the
buildings will mostly be erected
by the prisoners. It will later be
used for a garbage reduction
plant and other municipal ser
vice. t
Besides these new municipal
projects that will prove more or
less money-producers, the com
mission has a call from Woods for
paving and sewer bonds amount
ing to $212,000.
How much of this will be put
before- the people has not yet
been decided upon.
