"Thousands of people in Mexico City are depending on the supplies of the international relief committee, which it self Is threatened with a shortage of provisions.

DISTRICT CENTER ASKED Laurelhurst Seeks Swimming Pool and Playgrounds. At the luncheon of the East Bids Business Men's Club yesterday at Ho- t-l F.dwards. Fred A. Bailey, M. B. Me Vaul, 1j- M. Leppor, August Roeen and T. J. Kowe were appointed to start a campaign for a community center with a swimming pool and play grounds in Laurelhurst Park. A map of the park was displayed and ex Plained by I M. Lepper, who pointed out where the community center could be built with indoor and outdoor gym nasiums for boys and girls and the community in general, the same as was done in Peninsula Park, without taking up much of the park space. "It would be easy to build a swim ming pool out of one and one-half acres of Firwood pond and leave half of it . for the lake." said Mr. Lepper. "Three acres are too much space in this park to devote to a lake. This park contains 30 acres, purchased by Portland for 92.O0O. With the inter est of the bonds the total cost per acre in the end wilt be $6000, making the cost of the lake area $18,000. Laurelhurst cannot claim the ex clusive use of this park. Sunnyside should be able to use and enjoy it There are 7650 boys, and girls within one mile of Laurelhurst Park, 18,479 children live within 1A miles of the park and, according to the last census, there are 16,080 children of the school age within two miles of the park." The club passed resolutions favoring the community center and swimming pool. About 35 petitions are in cir culation for this center and swimming pool, which will be supplemented with several mass meetings at Montavilla, Mount Tabor and Sunnyside. BOYHOOD CHUM IS MET W. L.

' MANY CROSSING BORDER Deposed President of Mexico Refuses to Talk of Politics of Ills Conn try, but Denies That He Offered to Aid Itnrbide. EL PASO, Tex.. June 28. Watchful waiting among Mexican and American officials characterized the situation here tonight. Supporters of Huerta, Carranza and Villa continued their watchfulness of each other, while United States officials maintained a close surveillance to prevent any in fraction of American neutrality. In spite of th detention of General Huerta under Federal bond, events pointed to the continued activity anions- supporters of the new revolu tionary movement across the Rio Grande. Doubt was expressed by some close observers whether Huerta would make any effort to cross the boundary into Mexico, even should he be re leasd at his harlng July 1. Hurta declares that as soon as he is released he will continue his interrupted Jour ney to San Francisco. Mobilization Going On. Well-informed persons tonight de-J dared that revolutionary agents were active and estimated that an average of 100 men were crossing the Rio Grande nightly. These persons do not believe the Huerta incident will retard revo lutionary efforts, and some predicted that important developments would oc cur in Juarez soon, perhaps before the end of the week. Presumably the men crossing the border are to be mobilized at some secluded point in JS'orthern Mexico. The arrival of J. L. Camp, United States District Attorney for the West Texas district, tonight was expected to bring developments in the legal phase of the Mexican situation. While special agents of the Department of Justice were silent, it is understood that the arrest of persons suspected of connection with the revolutionary movement is under consideration. Police Escort Huerta. It wan expected that the question of a special grand jury investigation also would be decided soon. General Huerta was escorted by local police authorities to Fort Bliss this evening, where he was the guest of Colonel George H. Morgan at dinner. Conditions in Juarez appeared normal tonight. "When I left 'Mexico I decided not to discuss Mexican politics," said Gen eral Huerta late today at a conference with newspapermen. I have not de viated from that practice and I cannot do so now. The general also sealed his lips when questioned about the attitude of the Washington Government toward him. Offer of ftervtcea Denied, Asked about the report from Wash ington that ho recently offered his services to General Iturblde, the gen eral emphatically replied: "Absolutely untrue. Huerta spoke appreciatively of the courtesy shown him at every place he stopped since leaving New Tork. He said he expected to continue his journey to Los Angeles and San Fran cisco unless detained cere by Federal action. "Of course, he said, I cannot leave until after Thursday, as my hearing is set for that day. However, I will give you my word of honor that I will tell you men of the press the date of my departure." Gcnerl poses for Pictures. General Huerta accepted an invita tlon to dine with the newspaper men Thursday evening as their guest. At the conclusion of the interview the General posed for several photosrrarhs, riuerta connnueu ins concarence with friends all day. By afternoon the little groups of persons that had been around the house had disappeared and there was nothing to indicate that the residence was occupied by an ex President of Mexico, who at present Is under bond to appear before a United States Commissioner. Tonight General Huerta was the guest of Colonel George H. Morgan at dinner given at fort Bliss. It was Colonel Morgan who was in charge yesterday during Huerta's detention at the fort.

NO REVOLT IS PERMITTED (Continued "From First Page.) they have the threads of the plot in their hands, and that within the next few days they will be able to appre hend other suspects.' Huerta was under the eya of the department from 'the time he landed In New York until he alighted from his train Sunday morning near El Paso. One by one. the Department came to know his friends, the men they, now be lieve were fellow conspirators. Be ginning; several days ago, all informa tion which came to headquarters here was forwarded to El Paso for the use of the department's agents there and the United States District Attorney. Secretary Lansing - instructed repre sentatives of the State Department on the border to co-operate with the agents of the Department of Justice. Just how many recruits for the Huerta cause have been enlisted and sent to Mexico from the United States was not known today, but it was said that there had been several hundred. Assistant Attorney-General Warren directed attention today to the fact that the proceedings in the case of Huerta were not unusual, indictments for a similar offense having been ob tained in the' past against men promi nent in other Mexican factions.

MEANING DECLARED FALSE Quotation Regarding Hostages Is Confused and No Letter Received From German - Governor of Belgium, Is Explanation. ROME, Italy, June 28, via Paris. An Interview published in the Corriero d'ltalia this morning with Cardinal Pietro, the papal Secretary of State, discusses the Interview obtained last week by Louis Lataple, a member of the staff of the Paris La Liberte, with pope Benedict. The Secretary of State says: "M. Lataple invented entirely many grave assertions. - You must remember that a phrase Isolated from tne context cannot reproduce faithfully a thought or, what Is worse, it gives a meaning entirely false. "For instance, take the quotation re garding hostages in Berlin. What con fusion! The Pontiff is made to mix tne Jews of Gallcla, the Austrian priests of Cremona nd the Belgian prelates, all of which, according to M. Latapie, was covered in the allocution of January 22. "With regard to the Jews, it was in March that Austria-Hungary, sent a protest to the Holy See. The protest was not mentioned, as the Vatican could not condemn Russia on the sole affirma tion of Aijstrla-Hungary. German Letter Kot Received. "The Pope was informed that Italy had taken some parish priests of the towns occupied as hostages, but the bishop of Cremona informed him that they were being treated with every re gard. Indeed, the Pontiff furnished them with funds for masses. The Pope knows all this perfectly. How, then, could he put them in a category with the Bel gian and French hostages or with tbe Jews of Russia? "With regard to General Von Bissing, the German Governor of Belgium, neither the Holy Father nor the Secre tary of State ever received a letter or a communication from him directly or Indirectly. Thus the Pope could not re. fer to such a letter and he did not. The letter was born of the fervid imagina tion of ai. Lataple. "It is true that the Pope wished Italy to remain outside the conflict on receiving concessions from Austria, because he desired that Italy should not suffer the horrors of war, and he was preoccupied with the delicate po wition of the church if Italy entered the conflict. War once declared, the church became entirely neutral. It has not in any way tried to prevent Cath olics from doing their duty according to their consciences, anil (t nas done everything- for the spiritual welfare of the soldiers. Italy Avoids Dlff lenities. "The Pontiff recognizes that the Italian government has done every, thing possible to attenuate any dif ficulties that might arise between It and the Holy see. The Vatican s cor respondence is not being touched. But that does not mean that the situation of the Holy See is normal. It does not intend to create embarrassment for the government, . . . "The Holy Father much deplored the sinking of the Lusitanla, but he could not pronoune'e directly on it because there was before him a question of fact regarding: which each side makes different assertions. "M. Latapie could have done better had he maintained his promise not to publish anything without previous au thorizatlon. But as that formal prom ise was not sufficient to preserve the Holy See from such deplorable indis cretions, M. Latapie will have the honor of being the last Journalist to be received by the Holy Father during the war. REPRISAL IS TIIR EATEXED German Catholic Prelates Resent Acts of Prench Churchmen. ROME! via Paris. June 28. Cardinal von Hartmann, Archbishop of Cologne and Cardinal von Bettinger, Archbishop of Munich, have addressed the Pope, strongly protesting against a publica tion which has appeared In Paris under the title of "War and Catholicism. This publication was compiled by Monsignor Baudrillart. rector of the Catholio Institute at Paris, with an introduction by Cardinal Amette, Arch bishop or Paris, and related to alleged German atrocities, chiefly against the church. Cardinals von Hartmann and Von Bettinger deny that such atrocities ever occurred and declare that Cardi nal Mercier never was Imprisoned, as asserted in the article in question, and they said: "If the French apd Belgian clergy continue such a campaign they will force the German Catholin clergy to i ' Ms V V of Qualify A e J Phones: Main 6 X A 1020.
