WOULD PAY HUERTA
TO QUIT HIS JOB
American Syndicate Would Pay Pro
visional President Million and a
Half to Quit.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 17.—-It is re
ported here that the American syndi
cate, owners of large mining inter
ests in the northern section of Mex
ico and also largely interested in the
railroads of the republic, today offered
to Provisional President Huerta $1,
500,000 !f he would quit as presulent
and place in his position some one
satisfactory to President Wilson and
whom the latter will be willing to
recognize.
The syndicate are said to have be
come desperate because of the heavy
losses they have suffered by the re
bellion and are anxious to have the
political unrest in Mexico settled so
that business may be resumed and
profits made on the large outlay of
the syndicate.
It is rumored that both the Ameri
can capitalists and the Pearson syn
dicate are desirous to have peace es
tablished and that they have buried
| the lia'chet and will work together
with that end in view. Heretofore
the Pearson syndicate have support
ed Huerta with large sums of money
and are believed to have secured the
backing of the European powers and
the recognition from England and
G rmany and Spain of the defaeto
government established by the pres
ent dictator.
INDICT GEORGIA
PRISON MEN
ATLANTA, Ua., Feb. 17. Follow
ing stories of barbarous treatment
told to the grand jury today by eight
convicts indictments were returned
against Foreman Clyde Thompson and
other officials in charge of the con
victs of Atlanta and Fulton county.
The witnesses swore that prisoners
were stripped, whipped with raw
hides, and then chained to walls with
out receiving medical attention.
Thompson was charged with shoot
ing a chained convict because he re
fused to remove his clothes for a
flogging. James Brannen, a convict,
who saw the shooting, cried: "That’s
murder!” For that remark, be said,
he was stripped and flogged.
Some of the grand jurors wept as
the stories of brutality were told.

VILLA ARTILLERY
NUMBER 50 PIECES
Rebel General Reviews His Big Gun
Brigade—Ready for Attack Upon
Federate at Torreon.
CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, Feb. 17.—
General Villa, commander in chief of
the rebel troops, today reviewed his
artillery corps of fifty pieces, many
of which have been captured from the
federal forces. The general announ
ced that he is well satisfied with his
brigade and that they will keep the
Huerta troops busy.
The main army of rebels are now
en route to attack Gen. Itefugio Ve
lasco’s federal garrison at Torreon,
which is looked on as the probable
scene of the next big military move
ment in Mexico. Gen. Monclovio Her
rerra, one of Villa’s commanders, with
a brigade, moved south today from
Escalon. Escalon is more than half
way from Chinuahua, the present
base, to Torreon. It may be a week
or ten days before the rebels actually
open the attack, although they are
moving toward the federals in great
numbers.
BERLIN, Feb. 17.—The semi-offi
cial College Gazette publishes a glow -
ing tribute to President Huerta as the
man of the hour for Mexico in a spe
cial article from its correspondent at
Vera Cruz. It says:
"Huerta 's, all in all, the man whom
Mexico needs and must have if she is
not to be swallowed up by the United
States. Let us hope, therefore, that
Huerta will sustain himself and things
take such a course that no German
blood need be spilled on behalf of
German interests.”
