THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY. MARCH 1, 1913. 1' J SOHQRA REBELLION WORRIES HUERTA Recalcitrant Governor Forti fies Self Against Adminis tration Forces. STERN ACTION CONSIDERED Hope Is to Restore Order Without Soldiers, However Executive of .guns Calientes Surrenders' to Federal General. LAREDO. Tex, Fes. 28 The Hnerta Kovernmevt wsw unequivocally recog nized today at the peace conference at ueve Laredo by representatives of the aorthern revolutionary leaders. This. Information was given out to ntsht by Colonel Puscual Orosco, Sr.. father of the rebel chieftain of the northern states. Colonel Orosco ex pressed the opinion that peace throngh- out Mexico now is a question of but a short time. MEXICO CITY. "Feb. 28. Conditions In the State of Sonora, where the authorities have refused to adhere to the new administration, were admitted at the National Palace tonight to be serious. It was thought, however, no resort to arms would be needed to bring- the recalcitrants into line. General Garcia Hidalgo solved today at Aguas Calientes, capital of the state of the same name, a problem which no one believed could be fettled with the use of soldiery. The rebellious Gov ernor of the state, who had fortified himself in the palace and defied Gen eral Hidalgo to remove him, surren dered at the last moment today and general Hidalgo took charge of the state government. This gives the pro visional government one more state and materially strengthens its position. Hermoslllo Rebels Fortify. Ex-Governor Maytorena, of the State of Sonora, la admitted to be In posses sion of Agua Frieta. Xacozari and Fron tenas. alone- the International border, and Governor Pesquiera, his successor and personal friend, has fortified him self In the governmens palace at Her mosillo and surrounded the building with artillery. To suppress this rebel lion, the government's only available forces are a few regulars at Torin, but probably reinforcements will be sent from Guadalajara to Manzanlllo and dispatched from there by boat to the disturbed region. The investigation by court officials to determine the responsibility for the killing of ex-President Madero and ex Vice-President Suarez resulted today in the arrest of Mariano Luque, a minor politician, who is charged with being a leader of the attacking party. President Huerta believes the danger of Intervention has disappeared. Fall Powers to Be Vsed. That President Huerta does not underestimate the task he has under taken is Indicated by a statement he made, when Madero was overthrown, that there were In the country not less than 50,000 rebels under arms, without counting the numerous groups of ban dits, whose number he said he could not estimate. Mirny of the bandits and rebels, the President admitted today. still are operating in Morelos, Durango, Puebla, Tlaxcala and Chihuahua. "I repeat," said President Huerta, "that to bring about pacification of the country, which at this time is a' su preme necessity, I shall use all the measures provided by law. It will be absolutely necessary to use the power granted under the suspension of the guarantees In certain places." The execution of five Zapatista lead r-rs in the State of Morelos has served to Indicate the sternness with which the government will deal with rebels, but the burning of three more haci endas near Cuernavaca, with a loss of a half million pesos, is considered to be an answer to the challenge of the gov ernment by one defiant group. WASHINGTON HAS COXF1DEXCE Official Action Indicates Belief Huerta Will Accomplish Task. WASHINGTON. Feb. 28. The Admin istration in two actions today evinced its belief in the stability of the Huerta Kovernment of Mexico, for the present at least. First, orders were sent to the military commanders from California to Texas to release all of the Mexican refugees captured on the American side of the line. Tlr?s whs done because these prisoners, who are few in num ber, no lonjrer can be regarded as reb els, in vlow of the successful revolution in Mexico. Second, a safe conduct was granted to Colonel De la Fuente and the members of his party, now somewhere in the vi cinity of Juarez, to proceed to San An tonio, to attend an Important confer ence between the Mexican factions in the Interest of general peace. The confirmation of the tirst reports of the. killing of Kmillo Madero, the third of t)w family to pay the extreme penalty, is regarded as another move In the direction of peace, removing as it does a resourceful and implacable rebel leader. From various quarters came reports of the adhesion of rebel chiefs to the new government. Campos, one of Oroxco's ablest lieutenants, with 700 rebels, entered Gomez Palaclo today In accord with and escorted by federal troops. Consul Hamm telegraphed from Durango that the local situation was vastly improved: the new administra tion popular with the better classes, who, though heretofore holding aloof from politics, now have determined to co-operate with the provisional govern ment to restore order.

"After giving this proposed enact-1 ment full consideration," wrote the President in his veto message, "I be lieve it to be a violation of the Inter state commerce clause of the Constitu tion, in that it is, in substance and ef fect, a delegation by Congress to the states of the power of regulating Inter- state commerce in liquors, which Is vested exclusively in Congress. "It is stated that this is a question I with which the Executive or members of Congress should not burden them selves to consider or decide. It is said that it should, be left to the Supreme 1 Cour;t to say whether this proposed act violates the Constitution. I dis sent utterly from this proposition. Oath Held Binding;. "The oath which the Chief Executive takes and which each member of Con gress takes does not bind him any less I sacredly to observe the Constitution I thau the oath which the Justices of the Supreme Court take. It is ques tionable whether the doubtful constitu tionality of a bill ought not to furnish a greater reason for voting against the bill or vetoing it than for the court to hold it to be invalid. "The custom of legislators and execu tives having any legislative function to remit to the courts entire and ulti mate responsibility as to the constitu tionality of the measure which they take part in passing, is an abuse which tends to put the court constantly in opposition to the Legislature and the Executive, and, indeed, to the popular supporters of unconstitutional laws. If, however, the legislators and the executives had attempted to do their duty, this burden of popular disap proval would have been lifted from the courts, or at least considerably les sened. "For these reasons and In spite of popular approval of this bill I have not felt Justified In signing It." The President cited several decisions I of the Supreme Court which he de-1 clared strengthened his view. CASTRO LIKES WILSON EX-DIRECTOR. SATS FUTURE OF CONTTNTEXT IS SAFE. Denial Made That President-elect Invited Him to Inaugural He Goes of Own Accord. HAVANA. Feb. 28. Ciprlano Castro, when questioned on the subject of his visit to Washington for the Presidential Inauguration, said: I have not been invited to the in auguration by President-elect Wilson. but am going on my own accord. You may absolutely and without qualifica tion deny all other stories. Several Cuban newspapers have published stor ies tor which they alone are account able. I accept no responsibility what ever for them." . General Castro expressed his admira tion for Mr. Wilson and gave out the following statement: My opinion is that the magnificent future of the American continent was saved with the trumph of the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson. I understand that the policy of Mr. Wilson, judging from his political documents that have been circulated up to the present, is one of equity. Justice and mutual respect, which is precisely what the Latln American republics have claimed from the sister republic in the north. 'If this is so, as we should expect it to be, coming as it does from such prominent authority, the die is cast and It would be a crime not only to go backward, but even to impede the triumphant march of the American continent, which is destined to perform such Important duties in the future for tunes of humanity. "This is the grand ideal which I have followed and by which, with much pleasure I have sacrificed by life interests and the tranquility of my family. But I shall be satisfied if we reach the end of our Journey with the standard of American rights and our Integrity saved. In a word, my motto today Is "union and continental fra ternity." General Castro will leavo tomorrow for Key West and arrive March 3 In Washington. Later he will go to New Tork City and probably will sail soon afterward to rejoin his wife and sis ters, who are at Teneriffe, Canary Is lands. General Acosta, formerly of Castro's army, said, today that Castro consid ered the moment not ripe for his re turning to Venezuela.

Need of an amendment of the traffic ordinance regulating the passing of automobiles to the left or "blind" side of streetcars is a lesson drawn by the police from the tragic death of W. A. Clelond at East Fifteenth and East Morrison streets Thursday. That this practice is a prolific source of col lisions and other accidents is an asser tion borne out by the reports on file at headquarters. Dr. P. J. Wiley, who was driving the automobile which caused the tragedy, was complying with all regulations, according to his own statement and all other information at hand at present, and the members of the Cleland fam ily have said that they believe him free of any blame. Formal Inquest will be neld today by the Coroner. Traffic Rules Obeyed. When Mr. Cleland was struck Dr. Wiley's car was attempting to pass a streetcar by verging to the center of the street. In this he was justified by the rule of the road, as expressed In the former traffic ordinance, but the point was overlooked when the new measure was drafted. The rule is that one vehicle overtaking and passing an other shall do so to the left or center.

Witness Before Sulzer's Committee Saja He Never Heard Governor's Xarae Used In Campaign for Client's freedom. AX.BAXT, N. Feb. 28. Governor Sulzer's committee of inquiry learned today, through Horace A. Hoffman, a representative of Harry K. Thaw, that William F. Clark, the committee's former secretary, was recommended by Alfred Henry Lewis, the writer, to per form a mission for Thaw in Utica. Hoffman testified that, at Lewis' re quest, he made out a check for $10.0 payable to Clark for "expenses." It was understood, Hoffman said, that a proposition was to come before the meeting of the State Bar Associa tion to limit the number of habeas corpus proceedings that might be taken. Thaw wanted Lewis to go to Utica. to get Into the public print cer tain letters on the subject from Mrs. Thaw and others, but Lewis recom mended Clark. Lawyer Receives 923,000. Out of an inquiry Into charges that Clark used Governor Sulzer's name without authority In an attempt to lib erate Thaw has grown a tangle of charges and counter-charges concern ing an offer of a bribe of 320,000 which Dr. John W. Russell, who resigned yesterday as superintendent of Mattea wan Hospital, says was offered him by John N. Anhut, a New Tork lawyer. Hoffman told today of having re ceived $25,000 from Thaw, and of Its delivery to Anhut. The witness said be had never heard the Governor's name used In connection with the at- tempts to free Thaw, and that no money ever had been paid Dr. Russell in Thaw's behalf, so far as he knew. "Had you any knowledge or informa tion or suspicion that the $25,000 you gave to Anhut was to be used for pur poses of bribery?" asked the commit tee's counsel. "I have not," replied Hoffman. Subpena servers had been searching unsuccessfully for Hoffman for several days. He walked into the committee rooms this afternoon, told the com mittee members he - understod they were looking for him, and took the stand. He had been In Philadelphia, he said. The committee expects to examine Alfred Henry Lewis on Monday. Mendocino County, found that he could not attend the council, he nominated Miss Foy, and she was promptly ac cepted by other Democrats. Vale Theft Bxcltes Suspicion. VALE, Or, Feb. 28. (Special.) Some time last night a hole was cut In a plate-glass show window of the Vale Trading Company and four revolvers taken. That the theft was not commit ted for monetary purposes is believed because nothing but the revolvers were taken, while many valuable articles were within the man's reach.
