PEACE COMMISSIONERS MURDERED.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 23—Word is
received here of the death of Pascual
Orozco Sr., Emilio Masuri and Louis
Cajiga, peace commissioners sent by
President Huerta several months ago
to make overtures to Zapata, the ban-
dit leader and who were held prison-
ers several weeks. Their bodies were
found riddled with bullets when the
Federal forces succeeded in entering
Huatla, which had been Zapata’s ref-
uge for more than two years.
With the principal items vetoed from
the appropriation bill at both colleges,
only one or two crumbs of comfore
are left apiece. D. W. H. Bruce stated
Saturday afternoon, shortly after the
veto message was read to him, that
his manual arts building, for which
tbe Legislature granted $50,000, the
maintenance for two years of $112,000,
repairs, improvements, grounds, paint-
ing, etc., $11,500 apparatus and equip-
ment, $5,000; special departments, $3,-
00; books, $6,000, a total of $187,500
was apparently left for the NormaL
While- the vetoes seem almost a
calamity locally, Dr. Bruce declared
that from reports Friday he felt very
much encouraged over what had been
left him, having expected all of the
items except the bare maintenance tq
be vetoed by the Governor,
Dr. W. B. Bizzell slated that of the
total of $359,650 granted by the Legis-
lature, the Governor had left his
maintenance for two years, $178,432, a
$15,000 boiler enlargement item, a $12,-
000 laundry building, $1,800 for house-
hold arts demonstration cottage, and
$1,200 for an enlargement of the green-
house; a total of $30300 for building
items out of a jMMibW total, all pass-
ed by the legislature, of $211,118.
The vetoing of the dormitory Item
of $125,000 will probably be most felt
at the C. L A, the additional building
having become an absolute necessity
to the growth of the college this year,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Develop-
ments in the Mexican situation moved
so rapidly today that it was undeter-
mined whether President Wilson
would read his message to Congress
Tuesday.
Direct advices from Mexico City said
that Huerta might wish to reconsider
his rejection of the American propos-
als. It is also reported that Huerta is
considering sending an envoy to the
United States similar to John Lind, to
talk unofficially with the President.
Powers Exert Pressure.
Foreign governments, some of which
have recognized Huerta government,
are exercising much pressure upon him
to yield to the demands of the United
States. This may also be a factor in
postponing the reading of the sessage,
it was announced today.

TALKS SHOW M
GAIN OVER LAST YEAR
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23—Stubborn
opposition to the democratic wool
schedule is being met with in the Se-
nate and Senators Warren, Penrose and
LaFollette yesterday attacked the bill.
The wide divergence of the minority
views on the details, though, afford no
little satisfaction to the democrats,
who say they need not talk, "as we
have the votes."
priation bill carried $7,946,834 the first
year and $6,964,521 the second year.
His vetoes and certain credits have
reduced those amounts to $6,862,000
the first year and $5,009,688 the second
year. He estimates that the deficit in
the treasury to be taxed on the first
year’s tax is $500,000. The $100,000 ap-
propriated each year for the expenses
of the State Fire Insurance uommis-
sion will be deducted as it comes from
the insurance companies and not out
of general revenue. The companies,
by assessment, pay that into the treas-
ury. Among the vetoes is $100,000 for
agricultural and manual training de-
partments in the public schools, mak-
ing it net reduction $50,000 eash year.
He leaves $50,000 each year by per-
mitting the entire $100,000 to stand for
the first year.
The vetoes in the first year amounted
to $1,474,710 and in the second year
$1,954,605.
The Governor said that he would
have reduced a number of large items,
but that the Attorney General ruled
that could not be done. That prevent-
ed several vetoes and also caused a
number of whole amounts to be cut
out which would have been scaled.
After the vetoes the bill calls for a
total of $12,021362 for both years.

said that the State
