Washington likely to Support Xew

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.

EL PASO. Tex Feb. 19. Northern
Mexico awaited today a settlement of
the national dilemma. ' General Anto

General Huerta's claim to the Presi
dency, remains neutral. He ordered his
officers to keep order. Governor Abra

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

NEW YORK. Feb. 19. Gustavo Ma
dero made his headquarters In this city
during the early critical period of the

cisco, and was a prominent figure for

dero, Sr., and his brothers, Ernesto,
Evaristo and Gabriel, he was busy here

sumaDiy in furtnerance of his plans.
Between conferences he was not idle,

the rounds of the "white light" district.
Where he was Joyously welcomed as
"spender." Word of his death was re

district today. .n
Early in March, 1911. Gustavo Ma

Phi. Kappa Pel Banquets.
Portland members of the Phi Kappa
Pal fraternity participated In the an

present. The officers elected to serve
during the coming year were: Presi
dent, A. B. Winfree; vice-president,
John G. Clemson; secretary-treasurer,

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.

In his opposition Senator Culbertson

"It is not sound policy to concentrate
