Presi dent Huerta's overthrow was consid ered today a ifiatter of- perhaps hardly more than -hours. Good judges of the fcituation believed that, at the outside, a few more days would see the rebels In the Mexican capital. Their forces menaced the city both on the east a'nd north and many thought it doubtful If the president could depend on the garrison to defend it. There was no question that the sol diers were discontented and unman ageable. Huerta was said to realize the desperate nature of his position and when the crisis came, he would avail himself of American Charge d'Affaires O bhaughnessy's offer of sanctuary in the Urited States embassy.

Villa al lowed him to make it in detail. Then accounts differ-he shot him to death or ordered him 'executed Imme diately. One version is that he listened si lently while his visitor stated his case and as he concluded, whipped out his pistol and fired three bullets through lils heart a his onlv answer. An other Is that lie had hjm led Into the front yard of the house where they met and that a rebel officer shot him there at . Villa's command. " In hi official report to General Carranza. Villa stated that Guzman was regularly court-martialed, con. demned and shot to death. Replying to reports that ho was planning to attack Monterey instead of TOrreon, Villa said today that he would be guided by circumstances. He would move on Monterey first if it seemed better to do so. he explains., but at the .niininent he did not consider the time quite ripe for attempting the capture or either place. f Reports were current that he had re celved $50,000 gold in taxes and royal ties from a Dig American company wlith Mexican Interests.

Commissioner Harlan, represent ing his colleagues, specified certain services which he declared the rail roads were giving without cost t6 ship pers." He declared the commission soon will set a date for a hearing, when it' will consider the question of making 'a reasonable charge for such services. His intimation was that, in this added revenue, the railroads' plea of insufficient earnings might be met. Commissioner-Harlan directed atten tion to the commission's recent refer ence to the -fact that the railroads might gain $15,000,000 annually by charging for services to industrial plants on private spur tracks. "I shall not yentureY' said Harlan, "to estimate what it costs the car riers to render these services or esti mate the revenues that might accrue for these services under charges all would regard as reasonable. "No well informed person doubts that the discontinuance of these free services wo.uld save millions of ex pense annually, nor can any well in formed person doubt if such service should be measured and be made to contribute on a reasonable basis to the revenue of carriers, the incomes of the carriers would be increased millions annually."

It was said that Zamor was gathering more recruits for an immediate attack on Port Au Prince. The latest development embarrassed the state department here, since it had opected Theodore would be victor-and had prepared to recognize him. It was feared, too, that the prospective at tack on Port Au Prince, with Its con- sidrable foreign population and ex tensive foreign interests, would fmearj serious compllcations.
