THE fiAKUK DAILY TIMES, UAUllK, VT MONDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1913. MEXICANS ARE WARNED They Must Not Shoot Across the Bor der NEW PLAN OF GE. HUERTA Rumor Is That Gerostieta Will Succeed Him as President : Presidio, Tex., Dec. 29. United States troop at Juarez, Mex., Saturday warned both federals and rebels that if a battle occurs at Ojinaga, there must be no fir ing across the border. The warnings were sent from Presidio, because of the advance of the rebel army from Chi huahua to attack the federals at Ojin f aga. Late reports indicated that the rebels had not yet arrived within sight of the federal stronghold. An agent of Gen. Villa arrived from Chihuahua Sat urday to arrange for the release of Luis Tcrrazas, son of the Mexican landowner, who is held by Villa for a ransom said to be $250,000 gold. The father of Ter ratas has expressed willingness to pay the money, but has asked for a guar antee of his son's safe conduct to the United States. The prisoner has been kept in a cell in the state capital at Chihuahua ever since the rebels occu pied that city. All the homes of the Terraias, Creels and other rich Mexican families, charged with having sympa thized with Huerta, have been deeded over by Oen. Villa to his officers. The property was confiscated several weeks ago. Alberto Terrazas, a colonel in the ranks of the federal volunteers, who fci-mipanied the federals in their flight )-l m Chihuahua, resigned and crossed to 1'iesidio. . Japanese agents who feared that Gen. Villa might show resentment toward their countrymen in Mexico because Huerta had placed orders for arms in .Japan, said they had received notice from Mexico City that Japanese subjects would be protected by the British vice consul in Chihuahua. Villa had assured the Japanese he was not unfriendly to them. On hearing that his father, mother, wife and child had been burned to death by federals at Torreon, a rebel soldier in Juare Saturday became in sane. He was told his family had been killed because he was fighting with the rebels. That Enrique Gerostieta minister of justice, will become president of Mexico early in the new year and that Gen. Huerta will take the field against the rebels who refuse to conform to this arrangement is the report that has been received with credence by some of the diplomatic representatives at Mexico City, Gerostieta is to be named min ister of foreign affairs, according to the version of the story in circulation, and Gen. Huerta will retire from the presi denyy, in which case the foreign minis ter succeeds him. Senor Gerostieta is well along in years. He was a lawyer at Monterey, who was brought to the capital to take the portfiolio of finance, but instead was appointed minister of justice. The railroads of Mexico are again fac ing the prospect of a tie-up for lack of fuel oil. The interruption of the line between Tampico and San Luis Potosi by the rebels if maintained for a week would result in a complete stoppage of traffic on the national system, according to a high railroad authority. The Mexi can line between the capital and Vera Cms has a sufficient supply, it is said, for 20 or 30 days. It is believed in ' railroad circles that the efforts of the rebels are being directed with more per sistence than ever toward accomplishing this tie-up, which would practically put the northern' country at their mercy.

New York, Dec. 2D. Fourteen of the seventeen demunds framed by President David L. Fultu of the Baseball flayers' fraternity will be granted by the na tional commission after the hearing at Cincinnati on January 6. Eight of these demands were conceded by the American league some time aco in the, plaj ttV contracts. According to excellent au thority the commission will turn aown the following demands: "Before a player shall be released out right to a lower classification waivers shall be secured at the same price for all classifications first from all clubs in his classification and then from all other clubs, if any, bet ween, that classification and the one to which he goes, according to priority of grade. "Before a drafted or purchased player shall be released under an optional agree ment prior to the expiration of the sea son following his draft or purchase waiv ers shall be secured from all clubs in his classification at the draft price or the purchase price, as the case may be." "Before a drafted or purchased player after the expiration of the season fol lowing Ins draft or purchase or any play- er at any time shall be released under an optional agreement waivers shall be secured from all clubs in his classifica tion at $1,500 if he is a major league player and at $750 if he is to be an AA classification player." There are various reasons for deny ing these requests which will be made clear to the fraternity's committee, con sisting of Leader Fultz and Players Dau bcrt, Keulbach, Ray Collins, John Miller and Henry. Among the demands to be granted, the most important are the fol lowing: Transfer of a player to be governed by all the terms of his contract. Terms of the transfer to be in writing and given to the player involved. A player to have a copy or his signed contract. Two sets of uniforms to be provided free of charge. Traveling expenses to be paid from a player's home to the training camp. When waivers are asked, clubs cannot withdraw them. Written notices of fines and suspen sions and the causes thereof. After, ten years of service in a major league, a player shall receive uncondi tional release. Waivers on a player's service to go through both major leagues. It is generally believed that the final ruling of the commission will meet with the fraternity's approval and that the players, who have so far refused to sign contracts for 1914, will haBten to get into line.

WILL SUBMIT Early Action to Settle Gov ernment Suit Is Looked For at Capital OTHERS DISPOSED TO TREAT FOR PEACE United Shoe Machinery Co., However, Goes on Fighting Suit Washineton. Dec. 29. Attorney Gen eral McReynolds is expected to return to Washington, to-day from a brief Christmas rest at his home in lennes see. There is reason to believe that ftr his return he will announce some definite developments in the com munications officials 01 tne American uAninir MmMnv have been ex changing with the department for sev It is understood that the company will avoid litigation by con forming to the administration wcwo on dissolution. There are in all half a doien large ,.nmhinH,n,a now in correspondence with the department of justice, looking to an amicable settlement oi tueir mi Acuities. Early last week a representa tive of the National Association of Bill Posters, with offices' in Chicago, came to Washington and proposea a pmn oi dissolution that would put an end to the suit now Dendintr airainst the asso ciation in the federal district court in Chicago. That case will go to trial on Jan. 8, unless the department accepts terms of dissolution. The department is also in communica tion with the jewelers' organization, with houilniiart.ftnt in New York, but whether a settlement will be reached is still un known. The Cash register trust, an Ohio organization, Has also snown a aispuui tion to settle out of court. Howard Elliott, president of the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad, continues to report progress in his ef forts to work out some plan for disso lution that will not involve too great financial sacrifices for the stockholders. The department is not inclined to hurry him as it is realized that any dissolu tion of the railroad, trolley line and steamboat combination will require great deal of financing. The report that the United bhoe Ma chinery company has decided to sur romli.r ami rnrrp to a dissolution with out further court proceedings is untrue. While tne settlement may De enectea before the court enters a final decree, there is no indication yet of any sucn outcome. The report of a voluntary settlement originated with the fact that after the government completed its pres entation ot testimony ana tne case ior the defendant was begun, the court lit Boston took its customary Christmas recess. But the taking of testimony will be resumed when the court recon venes on Jan. 6. 20 CLANSMEN IN MINE BESIEGED Kentucky Militia Force Guards Every Opening to Capture the Hend rickson. Fin ill. Kv..
