MORE BLOOD SHED IS PREDICTED Jtclicl Victories Increase as Time IroKres's How To lUilse Money is Serious Problem Confrontimr lfueita. VERA CRUZ. March 7. With the two -.aderos murdered and count less others who opposed him "mys teriously missing," Huerta's dictator ship developed into a veritable reign of terror. Heurta's only hope of holding his blood-bought power was to shed more blood. The house of deputies, not realiz ing to what lengths the new president would dare to go, began to protest against Huerta's methods. One ev ening at 6 o'clock, a cordon of sol dlers surrounded the house of depu tics, while other Boldiers entered and arrested 100 of the leading states men of Mexico. They were herded to jail like common prisoners and they were hardly locked up In their cells before Huerta declared himself dictator of the country. He called an election. It was held. A new house oT deputies was chosen, every man of whom was Huerta's servant At a previous make-believe election Huerta dad been chosen president but the votes were so few and so ob vioiisly controlled that even Huerta didn't dare to call himself elected. And so, with Infinite craft, he or dered his new house of deputies to declare that the election was void and that another election be held on the fifth of July. 1914. and that, in the meantime Huerta be considered TERROR REIGNS provisional president. This con gress also voted to Huerta dictatorial powers and then adjourned, leav ing him in sole possession of the government, in a situation that made his word and order stronger than any laws that both houses might pass. In the meantime, rebel victories multiplied, every northern state was in rebel hands. Francisco Villa, who had been one of Madero's gen erals, took the field with Carranza. It is true that Pascual Orozco went to Huerta's side, but a blight seemed to be placed on all his former prow ess, and defeats met him at every turn. How to get money and how to raise an army were Huerta's problems. He set about to do those things, but every dollar he raised by taxation only made him a new enemy and every peon whom he' forced into the army only gave him another sol dier on whom he could not depend. By the seventh month of his rule he had built up a large army, and had distributed; it arounjd the country but he could not pay it. "You must pay those Boldiers," he ordered the business men and the farmers of the various districts, "or I will withdraw them." In many cases the business men and the farm erc chose not to have the federal soldiers in their localities. ; They preferred, indeed to have the rebels rule over them, for the federals were men of a low class, many of thijni conscripted criminals turned loose from the jails, cruel, heartless and! insatiable for money, women and alcohol. Neither could Huerta trust his officers. . He said once in a burst of confidence to Nelson O' Shaughnessy, charge d'affalrs in the American embassy. "I can't trust my officers. I only . wish I had about 150 American captnins down here. I'd clean these rebels out in short time." Judge Hamilton today overruled the defendant's demn : to the com plaint in the case of Henry Landers L. M. Van Aukln. T Benton Shot Without Trial by Court Martial. BODY DESTROYED, IT IS UNDERSTOOD Guard, Who Killed llenton. Antici pated Promotion for His Act Constitutional Officer Talks of Cl inic. (Speci-.il to The Eveu'.nj News.) DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 7. Will iam Benton was shot to death in Villa's office by one of bis body guards without formality, arrest or trial by court martial, according to a statement of Agua Prleta, a con stitutional officer who was ut et Juarez at th time of the Benton affair. He further stated that Iran scrips of all estlmony of defendents before the Mexican court martial must be signed and sealed by a wit ness. He asserted the testimony pur ported to be given by Benton did not bear a signature. It was written by the constitutionalist officer after Benton was killed. According to his story, Benton was shot while ar guing with Villa. The guard who fired the shot believed the act would win him a promotion. The body was lleatroyed It Is said, !lo hide ttlo crime. May Create a Bank. MEXICO CITY, March 7. Huer- ta's resignation 1b reported fmmin- ent. He said he would start lmme- diately afterward for Torreon to as sume the federal field command. The plan, it is understood, It to let the United States an England, agree on his successor. If Huerta crushed the rebels the new president would ask recognition from his government. Money is Bcarce and HuertaQi plan ning to maufucturel'me of his own. His Idea Is to do It through the creation of a government bank which is to issue $100,000,000 pesos of fint currency. A decree creating the bank awaits only the formal publica tion. ' BRU ALMURDER MAN ARRESTED Edward Settle, of Oakland, is Taken in Custody. MUST FACE .A SERIOUS .
