HUERTA GIVES REPLY Mediation Even by Latin Americans Not Welcomed. ARMY TO BE INCREASED Decree Provides for Appointments of Five Division Generals, Rank Not Xow Existing Federal , Bank Is Announced. MEXICO CITY, March 7. Mediation in any form by other governments. even though the governments be Latin American, would not be tolerated by Mexico. This reply was given Friday by President Huerta to a question based on the assumption that Chile, Argentine and Brazil were disposed to etxend their good offices. These coun tries have followed the example of the United States in not recognizing tne Huerta . government. As indicative of Huerta's intention to increase the strength of the army. the executive yesterday issued a decree providing fQr the appointment of five Division Generals of the army, a rank not now in existence, and ten Gen erals of corps. Among the promotions to a Division Generalship is that of General Pascual Orozco, Jr., and it is assumed that President Huerta and, probably Lauro Vilar will be others to be made Generals. It is officially ad mitted that the attack on Mazatlan has been resumed. Enrique C. Creel, ex-Ambassador to the United States, has resigned the presidency of the Aguila Oil Company, a Cowdray concern, to go to Europe. That the government is determined try establish a federal bank is officially Announced. As a reason for this move it is stated notwithstanding the fact that the banks now existing have been given the privilege of issuing notes of three times tho value of their metal reserve, they have shown 'no indication of aiding the government by doing so. The federal bank, the government says, will have a metal reserve guaranteeing one bank's issue, which will further be guaranteed by bonds not yet subscribed for and By government property. ptomaine poisoning caused from eating canned salmon, although a prolonged illness from an attack of pneumonia had greatly reduced his vitality.

Death was caused from OREGON POLITICAL GOSSIP Abolish Both Houses of Legislature, Says Dr. C. J. Smith, Democratic Can didate for Governor A. M. Crawford Opens Campaign Tonight. Moser Organization Formed News of the Candidates. HERE has been considerable talk about the abolition of one or both houses of the Legislature," said Dr. C. J. Smith, can didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, in an address on "My Policy of Law Enforcement if Elected." before the Jackson Club last night. "I say to you that if they are not abol ished we would be better oft If they never met. "What we need is perfecting of the laws we have by the people them selves. So I believe we might as well obliterate both houses as one of them. I feel that the people themselves are able to legislate as well as the type of men generally sent to the Legislature are able to legislate for them." Dr. Smith asserted that the last Leg islature "pulled the teeth" of the law giving the Governor power to appoint special officers for 90 days to replace officials who are not enforcing the criminal laws. He objected to the amendment to the original bill requir ing the Governor to lay facts before the Circuit Court of the district of the office in question before making such appointments. He declared this pro vision made the law of little value. "It requires the Governor to go out into the highways and byways and get evidence against officials and bring it to the Circuit Court, the judge of which may belong to the same crowd," explained Dr. Smith. "I am not a constitutional lawyer, but whenever crimes are being com mitted in the state," he continued, "I think my conscience is sensitive enough to find it out and to find some way of stopping it. And. by the Eter nal! I will stop it and enforce the laws.'" Walter M. Pierce spoke of the con stant encroachments made on prop erty rights by high taxation. "We have a candidate for Governor I refer to W. S. U'Ren who is to my mind a menace to property rights," said he. "He has a bill for $1500 prop erty exemption. He intends to make it $15,000, for he told me so." A warm rejoinder in defense of the $1500 exemption measure was made by Alfred D. Crldge, one of its sponsors. "Why, we are taxing the man who builds a chicken-house more than the one who robs it," he said in the course of his defense. Other speakers Included E. L. Van Dresar, on "Character in Politics"; Clarence Reames, United States Dis trict Attorney; G. W. Allen and Ernst Kroner. The declaration of intention of be coming a candidate for State Treasurer filed by Detective Tom Kay. Governor West's special vice crusade agent, doesn't mean that he is yet legally in the race. Before he can formally be come a candidate he must have his nominating petitions signed up. The law requires that at least 10 per cent of the precincts in seven counties must be represented on the petitions and that they must contain at least 1000 names. In view of the publicity given the political trick by which Detective Kay is becoming a candidate in the hope of defeating Thomas B. Kay, present State Treasurer and candidate for re-election, through the similarity of their names, he may have to do some tall hustling to get 1000 Republicans to sign his petitions. Attorney-General Crawford will open, his campaign for the Republican nom ination for Governor, in the City Hall in Milwaukie tonight. E. T. Elmer, Mayor; William Shindler, Philip Streib, John F. Risley, W. T. Houser. John. Oatfield, B. Lee Paget and Mrs. S. V. Lewelling compose the committee on arrangements. Mr. Crawford, in an swering the invitation to open his campaign in Milwaukie, said: "In my address I will present and discuss the sequel of the initiative and referendum, since Milwaukie is the home of this law, and also will refer to some mis takes of the present administration re sulting in high taxes, and will suggest a remedy." Thomas B. Kay, candidate for re-election as State Treasurer, will also be a speaker. Victor P. Moses, mentioned for a time as a Democratic possibility for Congress in the First District, has been nominated for Postmaster at Corvallit, by President Wilson. Charles A. Johns, of Portland, for merly a resident of Baker, is regarded as a probable candidate for the Repub lican nomination for Governor. His an nouncement is expected in a few days. If he enters the race he will be the fifteenth candidate for Governor In the field. Democratic friends of E. Versteeg are urging him to become a' candidate for the Democratic nomination for County Commissioner. Mr. Versteeg is a receptive candidate. At the meeting of the Workingmen's Political Club in 'the Labor Temple to night reorganization of the club is to be completed. W. H. Fitzgerald, the president, has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election to that office. Two declarations of candidacy were inea witn county clerk Coffey yester day. W. S. Conser, candidate for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner, and J. W. Bell, out for re-election as District Judge, were the two to file. Judge Bell, prior to the creation of the District Court by the last legislature, was lor many years a Justice of the Peace. He is dean of the court by reason of his long serv ice as justice. ' Petitions for the nomination of George E. Chamberlain, Democratic candidate for re-election as United States Senator, were put in circulation in Multnomah County yesterday. They were sent out from the office of Bert E. Haney, chairman of the Democratic state central committee. After virtually announcing his can didacy. Will M. Peterson, of Pendleton, has decided not to try for the Demo cratic nomination for Attornev-GeneraL In a letter read at the meeting of the Jackson Club last night, he said tnat he felt he could not be elected and had consequently withdrawn. One big reason Dehlnd tils withdrawal, how ever, is understood to be the fact that Governor West has openly indorsed the candidacy of George II. Brown, of Roseburg, a Republican. John Manning, Democratic candidate for Governor, by invitation, addressed the Central Labor Council at its meet ing last night, which was attended by aDOut zuo delegates from the unions of the city. He was the only candi date invited to speak at the meeting. The name of E. L. Van Dresar, of Portland, has been added to the list of potential Democratic candidates for Congress from the Third District. Campaign headquarters for Gus C. Moser, Republican candidate for Gov ernor, were opened at 621 Teon build ing yesterday, and last night 60 friends of Mr. Moser met and formed a "boost ers" organization in behalf of his can didacy. The organization will act as an advisory committee during the cam paign. It is the intention to add members to it from time to time. This Blogan, to be printed on the ballot after Mr. Moser's name, was adopted: "Lower taxes, payable semi-annually; fewer commissions; economy; effi ciency; dignified law enforcement."

The case of Luis Terrazas, whose life has in effect been declared forfeited unless 500,000 pesos are forthcoming by Sun day, was in status quo last night.

Felix Martinez, prominent politically in this section, is reported to have tele graphed Secretary Bryan asking him to use his good offices in behalf of the younger Terrazas. Many friends of the young man say Villa's threat of taking his captive south with him, which is regarded by the father as a death sen tence, is all but empty, as with Luis alive he may extort money from the family, if any is left, while Luis dead would no longer be a weapon in his hands.

How Thin People Can Put On Flesh A New Discovery Thin men and women that big, hearty, filling dinner you ate last night. What became of all that fat-producing nourish ment it contained? You haven't gained in weight one ounce. That food passed fionrj your body like unburned coal through an open grate. The material was there, hut your food doesn't work and stick, and the plain truth is you hardly get enough nour ishment from your meals to pay for the cost of cooking. This is true of thin folks the world over. Your nutritive organs, your functions of assimilation, are sadly out of gear and need reconstruction. Cut out the foolish foods and fynny saw dust diets. Omit the flesh cream run-ons. Cut out everything but the meals you ar eating now and eat with every one of those a single Sargol tablet. In two weeks note the difference. Five to eight good solfd pounds of healthy, "stay there" fat should be the net result. Sargol charges your weak, stagnant blood with millions of fresh new red blood corpuscles gives the blood the carrying power to deliver every ounce of fat-making material in your food to every part of y rur body. Sargol, too, mLxe witn vour food and prepares it for the blood in easily assimilated form. Thin people gain all the way from 10 to 25 pounds a month while taking Hargol, and the new flesh stays put. Sargol tablets are a scientific combi nation of six of the best flesh-producing elements known to chemistry. They come 4f tablets to a package, are pleasant, harm less and Inexpensive, and Woodard, Clarke & Co. and all other druggists in Portland and vicinity sell them subject to an abso lute guarantee of weight increase or money back.
