A AMERICAN POLICY DEPOSED MEXICAN PRESIDENT WHO IS TO BE EXILED, HIS BROTHER WHO WAS SHOT, AND HIS CABINET n 0 Comparative Di United States Waits to See Ex tent of Power Given PJew Congress in- Mexico. ATTITUDE. IS NOW PASSIVE gestibilliy DEPENDS ON HUEKTA Washington likely to Support Xew Government If Xo Duress Is Csed on Body Which Chooses Next Provisional President. ' WASHINGTON'. Feb. 19. There was s a marked reaction today from the severe strain under which the diplo matic, military and naval branches of the Government have been laboring for the last ten aays, because of the crisis In Mexico. A hasty consultation between the various departments, conducted to some extent by subordinates, resulted In a genera decision to maintain the exist ing attitude towards Mexico, not only In the diplomatic sense, but so far as involves the preparation of the Army and Navy to meet any emergency that might arise. Preeantlona Not Relaxed. Although State Department officials naturally were gratified at the term! nation of the prolonged battle that raged within the heart of MexlAo City, It was deemed unwise to permit that sentiment to affect the progress of arrangements to protect the lives of foreigners in Mexico, In case the situa tion should get beyond control ot tne new government. Original orders to the Army officers to have the soldiers ready to move at short notice and. to the transports to proceed to their as signed destinations were allowed to stand. Probably some reply will be made by President Taft to the personal message from General Victoriano Kuerta, who signed himself commander In chief, an nouncing that he had overthrown the Madero government, but it will not be of such a nature as to constitute a political recognition of the new gov ernment. WIIsosi to Deal With Huerta. Ambassador Wilson is expected to communicate freely with Military Gov ernor Iluerta to transact the ordinary business of the embassy, and his example. It Is expected, will be fol lowed by the diplomatic representatives of the other powers. Within a week at the longest the new Mexican congress should be in session, in conformity with the call just issued by the military Governor. Upon the extent to which General Huerta and his supporters transfer to the con gress the powers of government will depend the attitude of the 'United States toward the de facto government of Mexico. If constitutional forms are observed, if the congress is allowed, without duress, to discharge its lawful duty of selecting a provisional president; if, in an orderly way, the congress pro vides for the holding of general elections throughout Mexico after a reasonable period of time, at-which all of the people may have a free chance to indicate their choice for permanent president, the Washington Govern-1 merit's decision can be relied upon to give cordial and sympathetio support to the efforts of those now In control In the Mexican capital to establish a gov ernment on a permanent basis. Meanwhile the attitude of the Ad ministration here will remain one of passive, though Interested, observa tion. " '" : L-J i ' " J - i J i - . Wvi i f I J j J PLAN IS APPROVED Above.

CHIHUAHUA IS SATISFIED Loyal Troops Recognize Huerta; Business Men Glad. CHIHUAHUA. Mex.. Feb. 19. The change in the government of Mexico City was decidedly satisfactory to the inhabitants of this city after two years of dlsordera and business stagnation under the rule of President Madero. a .ie news was received quietly, how ever. The federal troops here who had re mained loyal to the Madero govern ment now are recognizing General Huerta and General Diaz. It is ex pected that the rebels under General Inez Salazar and General Antonio Ro jas and other Insurgents operating in Chihuahua will cease operations soon. The general outlook is peaceful. Lower California Is Calm. SAX DIEGO. CaL, Feb. 19. Feeling in Lower California over the upheaval in Mexico City is comparatively mild. According to J. B. Uribe. a prominent lawyer of Ensenada, now in San Diego, the people of Lower California are willing to abide by the result In the City of Mexico.

Governor Wilson, after a talk with the Demo cratic members of the Legislature to day in which various bills, that prob ably will be passed by tne assembly, were discussed, said that with the passage of these measures he regarded his work for New Jersey practically completed. Governor Wilson will send his resig nation to the Secretary of State next week to take effect March 1. He will be succeeded as Governor by State Senator Fielder, president of the Sen ate.

It also was decided to support tne proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution for the selection of United States Senators by popular vote. A third proposition agreed upon pro vided for amending the primary elec tion laws so that voters shall express their first and second choice for a nomination. Governor Wilson signed today the seven anti-trust bills passed by the Legislature and which were drafted at his request. With one exception the bills become effective at once. The main bill, defining trusts and prohibit ing agreements and acts designed to directly or indirectly restrain trade and making officers and directors of corporations criminally responsible for violations of the act, will go into ei fect July 4.

Madero, had been deposed. but he legally retained his title until the resignation tonight of himself and Jose Pino Suarez as Vice-President. After the resignations of Madero and Pino Suarez had been accepted, Pedro Lascurain. as Minister of Foreign Af fairs, was called by Congress to suc ceed the retiring executive and 26 min utes later he was succeeded by Gen eral Huerta, whom he' had appointed Minister of the Interior, thus making regular the legal succession and en abling Congress to name . Huerta as provisional President. It has been agreed oy Diaz ana Hu erta that Huerta should have the Presi dency, and signed promises of a suf ficient number of the members of Con gress had been obtained to assure the success of the programme. XORTHERX MEXICO DISTURBED Gomez Likely to Have Accessions From Madero Ranks. EL PASO. Tex Feb. 19. Northern Mexico awaited today a settlement of the national dilemma. ' General Anto nio liabago. commander of the North ern military zone, who was notified of General Huerta's claim to the Presi dency, remains neutral. He ordered his officers to keep order. Governor Abra ham Gonzales, of Chihuahua State, is reported to have resigned. lie was one of the organizers of the Madero revo lution. At Chihuahua City, the state capital, and at Juarez, on the border, the sit uation was threatening. The volunteer troops appear displeased with Huerta as Provisional President and openly threaten to Join the rebels. At Juarez an attempt failed to disarm the vol unteers.. The effort to obtain recognition from the Northern revolutionary forces by General Huerta's selections for a pro visional Cabinet seems to have failed in effect. Colonel David de la Fuente, chief of staff of General Salazar's rebel army, named as Minister of Communi cations on the Huerta programme, al ready has pledged himself to the rev olution of Emillo Vasquez Gomez and now is In the field with the rebel forces below Juarez. Representatives of the Vasquez Go mez revolution point out that Mexico today has no constitutional govern ment, but two Presidential pretenders Huerta. as a result of the Mexico City uprising, and Vasquez Gomez, rep resenting the various rebel factions long in the field and likely to be Joined now by the Madero elements, including the federal volunteers.

Gustavo Ma dero made his headquarters In this city during the early critical period of the revolution headed by his brother, Fran cisco, and was a prominent figure for weeks on Upper Broadway and in the financial district. This was two years ago.

Majority Thinks Proposal for Dis position of $100,000,000 Is Properly Safeguarded, but Culberson Sees Peril. " WASHINGTON. Feb.. 19. That the proposed $100,000,000 Rockefeller foun dation for benevolent purposes consti tutes the safest disposition that can be made of that portion of John D. Rockefeller's Immense fortune, is the conclusion expressed in a majority re port from the Senate Judiciary commit tee to the Senate today, recommending the passage of the Rockefeller founda tion bill. "This money now is in the control of a private individual, who could, it he chose, direct its use to purely prl vate ends for a considerable period after his own death," says the report "Instead of this, he proposes to place It, subject to Congress, in control of a body of men now actually administer ing well-known charities of acknowl edged usefulness." Culberson Sees Danger. In an opposing report. Senator Cul berson attacks the proposed lncorpor ation for the Rockefeller fortune on the ground that It might give Federal protection for 60 or 100 years to great amounts of securities of the Standard Oil Company or other monopolies. The majority report says the bill has been changed so that all danger of an unrestricted perpetuation of the Rocke feller foundation is done away with. The choice of successors to the original Incorporators must be approved, under the terms of the bill, by the President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the President of the Senate, .the Speaker of the House and the presidents of Tale, Harvard, Columbia, Johns Hopkins and Chicago universities. ' Perpetuity Is Obviated. "The proposed foundation," says the report, '.'is an exception among chart table trusts In that the element of per petuity practically has been removed. While it is eminently fitted that Con gress should scrutinize with the utmost care the provisions of such a character, with a view of remedying defects and preventing abuses, it also is fitting that Congress should recognize the pos sibility of good to this country and to humanity that are Inherent in a great philanthropic endowment, properly safeguarded and wisely administered, and that it should welcome the oppor- of Food Made with different Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: 100 Per Cent. Digested Bread' made with phosphate powder: 684 Per Cent Digested Bread made with alum powder: 67 Per Cent Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprej udiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely digestible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the diges tion of the food made from them. Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments. glllS RiLJJMMMsn---nnsW fs r rV-J-mraM-1 die enfeebled system readily accepts any disease Nature's resistant force is depleted and Scott' a Emulsion is needed.

In his opposition Senator Culbertson takes the opposite view of the pro tection given the public by the pro posed incorporation. "It is not sound policy to concentrate and tie up In the hands of a few men such a vast sum of money," he said. So, also, the policy is unsound of chartering a corporation with such powers and putting no limit restric tion on the character of the vast funds which are to be received by it for use and distribution without legal check or hindrance." Jury Awards $5000 Verdict. ROSEBURG, Or., Feb. IB. (Special.)
