HUERTA READY
TO SALUTE IF
UNITED STATES
FIRES RETURN
President Accepts Huerta's
"Proposal and Will Fire
Salute in Return, but
Huerta Must Behave.
LODGE SAYS ANSWERING
SALUTE IS RIDICULOUS
O'Shaughnessy's Friendliness
for Huerta Is Disapproved
of, Is Report,
M'nlfd rr T.imJ wire.)
Washington, April J 6. President
Wilson this afternoon instructed
Charge d'Affalrrs O'Shaughnessy to
tell president Huerta that he accepts
the latter's offer to salute the Ameri
can flag, and that, in accordance with
naval precedent, tlio United States
hip will return the salute.
This, it was stated, ends the crisis,
unless disapproval of the agreement
should come from Mexico Tr from the
United States congress.
Not a gun lews than 21 will be ac
cepted as Mexico's salute of the Amer
lean flag. President Wilson said.
He declared ho had not even consid
ered a proposition that the command
er of the gunboat Dolphin, whose men
were arrested at Tamplco, be saluted
Instead. U he Dolphin's commander. It
was explained, was not entitled to a
salute of 21 guns, so it would not be a
national salute.
Courtesy Demands Saints.
Opinions differed as to whether this
was an acceptable proposition or not.
Chairman Shlvely of the senate foreign
relations committee said yes. It was.
Ordinary courtesy, he added, would call
fot an acknowledgment of the Mexican
salute. Senator Lodge took the con
trhry view. In his opinion, Mexico
would be apologizing to the United
8U.tes for an affront, if It saluted-wlth-out
getting a response but if it did get
a response the thing became a mean
ingless , exchange of courtesies.
Thta 'stipulation.' said Shlvely, "is
merely a request that the usual forms
b compiled with. Of course if the
Mexicans salute we will salute in re
turn. -
"This, however, will not constitute
recognition of Huerta as head of a de
Jure government of Mexico. It is rec
ognition only of a de facto government.
Just as our demand was a recognition
of a de facto government.
Ho Government to Recognita.
. "There is no de Jure government in
? Mexico to recognize.
"I suppose Huerta's compliance with
cur demands will end the present
situation and leave matters where they
were before. In fact, I can't think of
any other way In which the situation
can work out if Huerta does what he
seems today to intend doing."
Officials Are Optimistic.
The belief that the situation has im
proved was emphasized by the an
nouncement that Secretary Daniels
was going to New York and that Sec
retary Bryan hoped to start on his va
cation Sunday.
The question whether the United
States could return the Mexican salute
without recognizing the Huerta gov
ernment thereby was an acute one,
however. Many influential men dis
agreed with Senator Shlvely. Senator
Lodge was one of them. He contended
that a return of the salute would be
an American "backdown."
"To return the Mexican salute
- would make us ridiculous," said Lodge.

On Board the United Spates Battle
ship Arkansas, by Wireless via Cape
Hatteras. April 16. Under clearing
skies the battleship fleet under Ad
miral Badger was steaming southward
today.
,The admiral ordered a speed of 12
knots. The ships, strung out in line,
1000 feet apart, plunged through the
waves, the Arkansas leading. It was
estimated they would make Tamplco
by Wednesday noon. The crews were
enthusiastic and drilled with anappy

By Secretary of the Navy Daniels'
orders, Admiral Badger was refusing

AFFAIRS TO
BiCK UP PRESIDENT
Passes Resolution Approving
His Course in Sending
Battleship Fleet to Tampico'
(United Preaa Leased Wire.)
Washington, April 16. Preparations
were being made here to assist Amer
icans in Mexico to leave the country.
Many women and children from the
capital have already arrived in Tamp
lco. Of these all who wish it will
be brought north on the steamship
Ksperanza.
At a meeting of "the house foreign
affairs committee today Chairman
Flood explained that neither marines
nor bluejackets would be landed on
Mexican soil without congress' spe
cific authorization.
Congressman Ainey, heretofore one
of the administration's bitterest op
ponents, told the committee the Re
publicans' would support the president
in the present crisis. He said he
thought a blockade of the Mexican
coast was an action of war and really
required congressional sanction, but
expressed the opinion that nobody
would quibble about the matter.
Chairman Flood, in reply, assured
Ainey and the other committeemen that
the president would neither seize Tam
pico or any other port nor take any
other aggressive action without con
gressional authorization.
Action xm Sustains!.
Several resolutions bearing; on the
situation were considered before the
committee could agree on the question
of wording. The one finally adopted
was to the effect that it was "re
solved that the action of the president
in connection with the Tampico inci
dent he sustained by the committee on
foreign affairs of the house of repre
sentatives of the United States." ,
Secretary of War Garrison notified
the president that t'.ie army was
ready for service the moment it was
needed. All furloughs had been can
celled and officers, who were absent
from their commands, were hurrying
to rejoin them. ,
Joseph Tumulty, the president's pri
vate secretary, denied a report that
the, chief 'executive was dtsnatlsf led
with Charge d'Affaires O'Shauehnesav
because of his personally friendly re
lations witli President Huerta.
Arms Shipments Worry.
It was learned on administration au
thority that the government was con
sidering steps to prevent the rebels
from getting more arms and ammuni
tion from the United States. This was
because some suspicion existed, de
spite the denial of some constitution
alist leaders of any interest in Huerta's
troubles with America, that the drastic
action President Wilson is taking
might result in a reconciliation of fed
erals and rebels. -

(United Preaa Leased Wire.)
San Pedro, Mexico, April 16. Sur
rounded by rebels, the last remnant of
President Huerta's army of the north
was making its last stand fight at
Benavides fetation today.
The federal force was reduced by
the battle of San Pedro from 12,000 to
about 6800 . men but they were still
resisting desperately. General Villa
was determined to exterminate them.
He was in personal charge of the rebel
attack, had all his available troops in
action and had sent for 3000 more
from Torreon.
Runners from the scene of the en
gagement reported it one of the
fiercest of tha rebellion. iThey said
the federals occupied a strong position
and were defending it with reckless
determination. The rebels, however,
were tightening the cordon about them
and it was declared they were certain
to be wiped out unless they surren
dered. There was no chance for them
this time, said witnesses of the battle,
to slip through the rebels' line as they
did at Torreon and San Pedro.
According to General Ortega, among
the prisoners his men took when they
captured San Pedro Monday night, were
five American newspaper and maga
zine writers, who had been accompany,
ing the federals. General Villa ordered
that every consideration h v,
and they were held at a hacienda on
Lake Mayran, between San Pedro and
xjenaviaes station.
Since San Pedro's rantnra inn

General Villa captured here JO loco

carloads of coal. 8 of ice, 20 of water,
au or ammunition, 60 of cotton and S
of clothing and general merchandise.
He took also 11 cannon In San Pedro
and a dozen more which the federals
abandoned along the line of their re
ireai.
Fifteen hundred federal th-Iso-pi-

SUBMARINE MINES LAID
AT MIDNIGHT AT FORT
STEVENS ON COLUMBIA

Searchlights From Forts Only
Illumination While Unique
Feat Is Being Performed.
(Special to Tha Jonrnal.
Fort Stevens, Or.. April 16. For the
first time, so far as Is .known, was
successfully undertaken the unique
feat of planting submarine mines at
midnight at Fort Stevens, Or. It is
believed that no other power in the
world has ever accomplished this , re
sult, heretofore.
The planting waa done by the United
States army mine planter. Major Sam
uel Ringgold, under the supervision of
Lieutenant J. E. Townes, Coast Ar
tillery corps.
All the intricate mechanism of the
mines, Junction boxes and tha thou
sands of yards of electrical cable were
placed in the lower Columbia river
harbor with the searchlights from
Forts Stevens, Columbia anQ Canby as
the vnly illuminating agent outside of
the lights on the Ringgold.
Could Blow TTp Fleet.
in war and during target practice
these mines are filled with 100 pounds
of guncotton, slightly saturated with
a small detonating charge to explode
the guncotton.
The mines are arranged in a fan-
like formation, rendering It practical
ly Impossible for one of the enemy's
boats to pass through the network of
destruction prepared for them. Mines
are fired either automatically, that is,
by the contact of the approaching "boat
with the mines, or by means of ot.
serving the position of the incoming
war vessel and, aa it passes directly
over one of the mines, the shore op
erator is given the command fire, he
inserts the proper connection and the
mine explodes with a dull- reverberat
ing boom, throwing upward a huge
mass of water over 200 feet Into the
air.
In the case of actual war his action
means the complete destruction of a
war vessel costing millions with its
crew of nearly 1000 men. It is Im
possible for any boat to withstand the
terrific shock of a submarine mine ex
plosion. The mouth of the Columbia is par
ticularly well fitted for thla type of
protection, due to the depth of water
prevailing and the even flow of the
river currents.

Mayor Albee Is in favor of muzzling
the dogs, provided, however, that there
is a necessity for It and an effective

prevent the animals from biting human
beings. He made the statement this
I morning following a plea made for a
muzzle ordinance by City Bacteriologist
Pernot, who .-, yesterday afternoon
pointed out the dangers of a possible
rabies epidemic.
With the mayor now In favor of
muzzling the dogs to prevent the
spread of rabies. It is probable that ac

30,000 Acres of Questionable Value, It Is Declared, Are
All That Is Left After Deducting Barren Portion and

In its recent Announcement regard
ing the elimination of lands from the
Deschutes and Paulina national forests
the forest service Intimated that 400,
000 acres of land would be open to
settlement, but I failed to mention the
Important fact that 176.000 acres are,
to quote the forestry officials, "so
barren they won't grow a good sized

Tbe railroad companies Into central
Oregon, not knowing; this, have been
erroneously advertising the fact that
2000 desirable homesteads in southern
central Oregon iwill be open for entry,
but forest service officials now admit
that the land left after various gov

wanted is practically worthless.

Less than 30.000 acres, or about 90

of its hilly character and altitude, but
principally because there is no water
with which to irrigate.

West Wins in
School Note Case
Jndg-e Galloway Kolds That Taper Xa
Duly srldeace of Toads of tha State;
Treasurer Z,osee.
Salem, -Or.. April 16. Governor
West won in his contention that the
state treasurer has no legal authority
for retaining possession of the 8000
common school fund notes, which ag
gregate In value about 6, 000,000, in
a decision rendered today by Circuit
Judge William Galloway In the suit
brought by the state, on relation of
Governor West and Secretary of State
Ben W. Olcott. against State Treas
urer Kay. The suit, which was be
gun as a friendly action,, was brought
to compel Mr. Kay to deliver the noUs
to the clerk of the land board.
Judge Galloway In overruling the
demurrer to the complaint, stated that
the state treasurer is the custodian of
tbe funds of the state, but these notes
are not funds but only evidence of
funds.
"Every one ofthe 8000 or more notes
involved Is secured by mortgage of
record in the county where the loan is
made and it is purely a matter in the
discretion of the state school land
board where the notes are kept." de
clared Judge Galloway. "The notes In
question may be deposited in . the
vaults of some bank, and this court Is
not aware of any law restraining the
action of the board In the matter of
the custody of the notes, aa the stato
land board Is a coordinate branch of
the state government and Its discre
tions and decisions are not subject to

Chicago Planning
. Subway System
Defeat of Mayor Harrison's . TUn
Clears Way fr Municipally Owned
Subways in the loop District.
Chicago. April 16. Defeat of Mayor
Harrison's so-called "comprehensive
subway plan" at the polls Jt week
has cleared the way for an Immediate
beginning on a series of municipally
owned subways for Chicago.
Plans are already under way and it
Is expected that the new city council
will make the necessary authorization
for the construction of the bores at its
flrpt meeting late In themonth,-
Chlcagoans are jubilant over the de
feat of the Harrison proposition whicn
was a scheme for granting long term
blanket franchises for the subways.
The measure was defeated at Tues
day's election by a vote of 264,400 to
115.692.
The Harrison plan ' was termed
"nebulous. Incomprehensible and Inept"
by Its opponents and it is generally'
felt that the defeat of the proposition
saved a possible fiasco In the solution
of Chicago's transportation problem.
The system of subways now pro
posed will be designed to be used in
connection with Chicago's present sun
face nd elevated lines as a means of"
eliminating congestion in the dow.l
town "lyoop" district.
