HUERTA DISMISSES MEMBEUF CABINET President Will Listen Only to Proposals Compatible With His Own Dignity. Mexico City. It wag learned that the American charge had seen PresW nt Huerta and bad been told that he would not resign and would listen nly to such proposals m were com patible with hl own dignity and that of big country. What doubt remained regarding General Huerta's Intentions with re ipect to compliance with the Ameri can demands for his own elimination was removed from the minds of most Mexicans and foreign residents by his peremptory dismissal of Manuel Gar U Aldape, the minister of the inter ior, who wag looked upon as the head of the Huerta cabinet. Aldape led that group of the cabinet which held the conviction that it would be beBt to accede to that por tion at least of Washington's demands which meant the total abandonment of power by the provisional president, and he Is said to have been the only one with sufficient courage to discuss the international situation frankly with his chief. Senor Aldape was the last remain ing cabinet officer appointed by agree ment between Huerta and General Fe lix Diaz at the close of the battle in the capital in February.

For the sixth time in the last three years Ciudad Juarei changed governments when 2000 reb els, led by General Pancho Villa, at tacked and captured the town. Taken completely by surprise, the federal garrison of approximately 400 men put up a weak resistance.

PERMITS SCHOOL DANCING Washington Attorney-General Says Recreation Is Legal Olympla. Wash. After nearly 12 years, during which dancing in public school buildings has been forbidden rigidly, Attorney-General Tanner, In an official opinion, throws the bars down to dev otees of the tango, as well as the 'more conservative forms of the terpsichorean art. Dancing Is a form of recreation, the attorney general holds, and since the "social center" law of 1913 throws the schools open at night for study, im proTement and recreation, it follows, he says, that school dancing is strictly legal. No dancing has been allowed since Attorney-General Stratum hand ed down an adverse opinion on the subject in January, 1902. ' Foot Ball Scores. Portland.
