Huerta Named Head of Mexican Gov

Demand for Another
Man
LARERO, Tex.; Feb. 18 When in
formed by a representative of the
Associated Press that the Madero
government had been overtnrown and
General Huerta named provisianal
president, Colonel Pascual Orozco, Sr.,
and Colonel Andras -Garza . Gallian,
revolutionary leaders in the north of
Mexico, declared the revolutionists
in that section would not approve the
selection of Huerta and would con
tinue the rebellion unless another is
chosen to manage the affairs of Mex
ico, preferably Senor de la Barra or
General Geronimo Trevino.
Francisco I. Madero has been forced
out of the presidency. He w,as arrest
ed at the national palace shortly be
fore 3 o'clock this afternoon by Gen
eral Blanquet. Subsequently he sign
ed his resignation.
General Victoriano Huerta, com
mander of the federal troops, was pro
claimed provisionel president.
About the time Madero was seized
by Blanquet, Gustava Madero, his
brother, the ex-minister of finance,
was arrested by General Huerta, who
was dining with him in a quiet res
taurant. All members of the cabinet prompt
ly were placed under arrest with the
exception of Ernesto Madero, the
uncle of the president, who held the
portfolio of finance. He was appris
ed of the intentions against the Ma
dero government and made his es
cape. The secret move against Madero
was the result of a plot which had
been brewing since yesterday.
From the first it ha"d been known
that General Blanquet was unwilling
to fight. His men were of the same
mind. He held complete command
of them, and it was not doubted they
would follow him in any adventure,
which they did at the national palace
this afternoon.

WAGE FIGHT IS
WON BY THE HILLS
AMENDMENT ALLOWS THREE IN
STEAD OF TWO HOURS
OVERTIME
W. A. DIMICK MAKES GREAT FIGHT
Action Puts an End for at Least Year
of Biggest Battle for
Mill Work
ers SALEM, Feb 18. (Special.) In
spite of vigorous protests of Senator
Dimick, the Senate today, amended
the ten-hour bill so that it will al
low three instead of two hours over
time a day, for which time and a half
instead of double time must be paid.
The bill passed the Senate in this
condition and will go to the House
for that body to concur in the' amend
ment inasmuch as the supporters of
the bill realize this is the best they
could do there is little doubt but the
House will concur. The bill will then
go to the Governor for. his signature
and no opposition is expected from
that source.
Strenuous lobby work by the paper
mill men has been done since the
Schuebei ten hour bill came out of
the committee last week on three re
ports. At that time the report ac
cepted was by Chairman Smith, of
the Industries Committee recommend
ing that two hours overtime be allow
ed each day for which double time
should be paid. Failing to have the
bill adopted in its original form Sen
ator Dimick at that time supported
the Smith amendment an(Lwas instru
mental in having the report adopted
with nineteen votes in its favor.
Today the bill came up for final
passage. Joseph moved to go into
committee of the whole for the pur
pose of amending the bill. Dimick
declared this was only an attempt on
the part of the Portland man to kill
the measure, and strenuously oppos
ed the motion. He was overridden,
however, and Joseph's motion to
change from double time to time and
a half, and from two to three hours
was carried.
It was explained that this latter
change would, in the case of the Ore
gon City paper mills, only have the
effect of allowing an eleven and a
thirteen hour shift instead of two
shifts of twelve hours each, on the
grounds that this was an arrangement
between employer and employee.
On final roll call seventeen senators
voted in favor of the bill as amended.
Nineteen had favored it on the adop
tion of the Smith report but" Carson
switched to the other side and Per
kins was absent, leaving seventeen
in favor of the bill.
If signed by the Governor this act
will take effect in May of this year.
This practically marks an end for this
season at least, of the ten-hour fight.
For every session in the past eight
years some bills of this sort have been
before the Legislature, but in every
instance have failed. The burden of
the fighting this year has been in the
Senate. No great opposition was of
fered in the House when the Schuebei
bill was passed, and the amendments
in the Senate are regarded as the best
compromise obtainable.
The eight-hour bill of Dimick's has
been defeated in the Senate and to
day's action probably marks an end
of the matter for this session.
Senator Dimick was today respon
sible for the defeat of a House bill
creating the Board of Public Accoun
tancy and providing for certified pub
lic accountants. This had been de
feated in the House, reconsidered and
passed. Dimick opposed it on the
grounds that it was intended to form
a monopoly in the auditing business.
The expected break in the House
organization csme late Monday night
when Eaton of Eugene flayed Olson
and Upton, members of the the organ
ization, for "steam roller' work in
connection with one of his resolu
tions, and was shown again this morn
ing when the House, in spite of the
recommendations of the Public Lands
Committee, refused to indefinitely
postpone Representative Gill's bill to
repeal the Thompson swamp land
act. This latter act was passed over
the veto of the Governor early in the
session. The Governor and Gill short
ly afterward introduced a bill to re
peal the law. Once before the Gov
ernor sent in a messase "jollying"
the memories of the members of the
bill. Yesterday he sent in another
when the committee report was read.
By a vote of 29 to 28 the House re
fused to postpone the bill. The mem
bers stood practically the same as
in the Eaton fight the night before.
The entire Clackamas County delega
tion hung together against the "Ma
chine." The House went into its night ses
sion this evening with the intention
of clearing its own calendar before-ad-journment.
It will probably be in
session until early in the morning.
Sometime during the night session
the fight over the state printer is
scheduled to come up. The printing
committee will report favorably on
the Smith bill for a contract system
of printing and report back without
recommendation the Abbott bill for
a revision of rates.
The printers' flat salary law passed
in 1911, which would have taken ef
fect in 1915, was repealed in the House
today.

EXPERT SAYS POETRV
W IS DESTINCTIVE
"New Poetry" was the subject of an
interesting address Tuesday evening
by Dr. Coleman, professor of English
Literature at Reed College, at the ban
quet of the Congregational Brother
hooJ. Dr. Coleman declared that the
poetry of the present day was of a
distinctive type. He said that 500
years ago the poets wrote of women
and 300 years ago of war, while 100
years ago the chief theme was nature.
Now the theme of poets, he said, is
men. The lecture was highly inter
esting, but the speaker was unable
to prove that poetry is being better
written than ever before. Rev. George
Nelson Edwards, pastor of the church,
spoke on "Current Events." E. F.
Smith, of Parkplace, Rev. Jones, of
Parkplace and H. E. Cross, of Glad
stone, spoke. Mr. Cross spoke on
"Pioneers and Their Sons'' and de
clared that the sons did not achieve
the great results that the pioneers
had achieved. F. J. Tooze and Grant
B. Dimick made short addresses.

NAMING OF PARKS
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS OPEN
ING OF PRIVATE SEWER
INTO RIVER
PLANTING OF TREES ADVOCATED
Resolution of Sympathy to Family
of E. T. Fields Is Adopted
Civic Work Is Ad
vanced The report of the Civic Committee
of the Live Wires was received at the
regular weekly luncheon Tuesday af
ternoon. The report is as follows:
"Several sub-committees have been
appointed, among which is one on
sewers and parks. An incomplete
sewer opening into the gulch at the
head of Monroe Street has been com
plained of as being excessively mal
odorous and has been inspected by
the committee. We understand that
the council intends to have this sew
er district completed as soon as the
weather conditions permit, and we
heartily indorse this action. The '
committee also recommends that a
private sewer opening into the Wil
lamette just north of the suspension
bridge at least be constructed so as
to open into .the stream below the
water level.
"Increased activity in regard to the
parks is to be noted in the papers.
The immediate future is considered
a good time to plant the necessary
ornamental trees in the undeveloped
park near the High school at the cor
ner of Jackson and Twelfth Streets,
as these trees can get in several
years' growth in anticipation of the
time when this park will be more
fully developed. It has been suggest
ed that, as the elevator will shortly
be in operation, a fence of proper
construction be erected along the up
per edge of the bluff and that some
sort of parking along this natural
promenade and beauty spot be ar
ranged. "The committee in its weekly meet
ings is gradually maturing plans for
increased activities and again asks
the hearty- cooperation of not only
the Live Wires but of all progressive
citizens who are interested in a clean
er and more beautiful Oregon City."
The above report is a continuation
of reports that have been made in
the past to the Live Wires, and the
details have been sent to the Health
and Police Committees of the coun
cil and to tje Woman's Club.
A resolution of sympathy was or
dered sent to the family of the late
E. T. Fields, who was a member of
the Commercial Club. The sympathy
of the Live Wires was also extended
to B. T. McBain, who is ill.
T. V. Sullivan read a letter from
Woodrow Wilson's secretary, in which
he acknowledged the receipt of a let
ter from-the Liy Wires in which
Judge Beatie was urged for United
States Marshal.
The work of the Civic Committee
was approved and the committee com
mended for its. work. F. A. Olmsted,
secretary of the Association of Chem
ists, stated that there would be a
meeting of the chemists at the East
Side Library in Portland in the near
future 'n the interests of pure water
and that the various committees on
pure water in this city were cordial
ly invited to attend.
