The belief was growing here, how-1 ver, that Huerta's elimination - was near. Disapproval of his regime was spreading. Even congress, which he packed with his own supporters at the recent election, was turning against him. It was predicted that the lawmakers would speedilyhdepose him if ha escaped assassination and refuses, to resign. ' . One thing over which he did continue to exercise control was the local press.

Sheriff Bmtth, In charge of the posses which have been besieging Ralph Lopex, Mex lean sextuple murderer. In the Utah Apex mine near Bingham, said today that ha was sure Lopes was dead. The burning of wet gunpowder for the generation of carbonic acid gas with which the mine was filled for the pur- Sose of suffocating the outlaw, had een discontinued for fear of spon taneous combustion and an explosion, which might destroy property valued at millions. No response had been received since 2 a. in. yesterday, however, to signals to the murderer, and inasmuch as, he re sponded readily to previous ones, it was taken for granted he had succumbed. At 9 tonight the sheriff said he in tended to unseal the mine and as soon afterward as the gas had cleared par ties would enter to look for the Mex ican's body. ,.

But unless Attorney John McCourt, representing Kinney, produces 1 some pretty strong1 points Bhowlng that I the governor has no authority to re move a member of the commission, in the brief he 1 to submit this week, It is a foregone conclusion that Kinney will be removed within a short time. The four members of the commission. namely C. F. Btone of, Klamath Falls, J. F. Hughes of Salem, B. E. Duncan of Hood River, and George H. Kelly of Portland, who resigned, said they did so because Kinney was constantly caus ing trouble In the commission and they declined to longer sit on a commission with him. Hew Methods to Be Adopted.

In the matter of financial aid to the Ohio flood sufferers the treasury was only called on for $182,000 Instead of $2,000,000, as anticipated. So complete ly was confidence restored by the offer to issue new bank notes none of the $500,000,000 was applied for -by the banks, says It he secretary. The effeoa of depositing money for crop moving purposes was highly bene Octal. The acceptance of commercial paper as security for government de posits was a new step, but was neces sary because it enabled banks to obtain tne required iunds upon the pledge or available paper already-in their vaults.

Several times speakers became so radical In their sta teamen ts that Mayor Albee was able to restore order only by a loud pounding of the gavel and once he was compelled to rise and ask the remonstrators to remain silent and give Commissioner Will Daly, father of the measure, an opportunity to explain it "You may ask me to sit down as you did another commissioner," said . the mayor. "I am asking you as citizen and taxpayers to maintain order and let us discuss tbs matter in a dignified manner." His speech had the desired effect and while several landlords who spoke after ward left the subject and dealt in -per onalltles, nothing like the disorder which characterised the first part of the cession marked the remainder of the meeting.
