THE MORNING OltEGOXIAX. MONDAY, JULY 5. 1013 3 HUERTA IN JAIL ALL INDEPENDENCE DAY Effort Apparently Not Made to Obtain Bond for Mexi i can Prisoners. GENERAL KEEPS SILENCE .Pa sou a I Orozco Believed to Have Made Escape Across Border and to Have Sent for Partisans to Help Take Juarez. EL PASO, Tex., July 4. General Victorlano Huerta, of whom Rear Admrral Mayo demanded a. salute to the United States flag; spent the anni versary or American independence in the County Jail here. Imprisoned with him were three Mexican ex-generals and two members of the personal party of the Mexican ex-President. They had been placed in cells late yesterday on charges of conspiracy to violate the neutrality laws in attempting to launch a revolutionary movement in Mexico, after failing to secure bond. Apparently no effort was made to day to provide bond for their release. Huerta and his attorneys conferred at the jail, but no one else was permitted to see him today. It was understood an effort will be made to provide bond for the six imprisoned men Tuesday. The question whether the develop ments of the last week mean the aban donment of a new revolutionary move ment has created a division of opinion, even among those characterized as Huerta's adherents. Certain of these close to Huerta are quoted as saying that his arrest has merely delayed action, but others equally close have declared that any organized move has been indefinitely postponed. Huerta himself continues to maintain silence when interrogated on any subject re lated to politics. That Pascual Orozoo, who escaped from his guards Saturday morning, has succeeded in getting across the inter national boundary is conceded by al most all of the American authorities, and only a half-hearted search for him on this side was conducted today. He is reported - to have Joined a small party of his followers east of Juarez and from his camp across the river to have sent out for his partisans to Join him In an attempt to wrest Juarez from Villa's garrison.

Change la Made at Request of Teach era to Enable Earlier Start on Summer Work at Universities. The School Board of Portland has perpetrated what will be regarded as a grave outrage by pupils who are to enter their a.et year of public school work next Fall, by cutting a full week off of the last vacation they may en Joy as schoolboys and girls. The date for the opening of the schools has been moved forward to September 7 at request of the Grade Teachers' As sociation. Of course the pupils who are in the primary grades with seven or eight years of school work to look forward to will no t notice materially the shortening of their vacation, but those who finish next June will never have another school vacation in which to catch up and will go through lite burd ened with the great sorrow that they have been deprived pf a week of their Just freedom. The change was made to enable the grade teachers to make better con nections with the opening of the Sum mer tnrms in norma schools and uni versities. It will also serve a good purpose in fitting in better with the Rose Festival celebrations and making it possible for the pupils to partici pate with less danger of disorganizing their work.
