STRONG IN HUERTA S i w 17 Zapatistas Captured Almost t at Gates of Capital and Ex- . ecuted?Orozco Comes Over, y Mexico City, Feb. 27.?Seven- * teen Zapatistas, who carried 1 their vocation of looting and 5 murder to the edge of the fed- f eral district, eight miles from * the capital, were captured to- J day and executed. * The rurales encountered the ! rebels at early dawn today and 1 defeated them. Later Juan ( Vargas, commander of the J rurales, sent a terse message to President Huerta, in which he J said: "I have the honor to report j the execution of 17 bandits, taken in outlawry and rebelion." 1 Confidence in the Huerta administration appears to wax stronger daily, if faith is to be placed in the government re- a ports, as to the rapid vanishing r of the rebel spirit throughout c the republic. Conspiracies t against the provisional Presi- r dent are still whispered of in the capital, but there is at least r ,5^" an outward appearance of har- 1 mony between the leaders of I the new regime.

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 26.? Governor Woodrow Wilson jem_ warned members of the New his Jersey legislature last night ta- that as President of the United lat States he would feel privileged for to come back even as early as in. next week to fight before the ac- people of the state for pending ht, reforms. Jr. Governor Wilson resigned the .ir- governorship yesterday to take isy effect Saturday. Both houses ss, had hardly received the resignant tion when the assembly went on ma record against passing the jury on. reiorm bill to second reading, lse This bill had been urged parous ticularly by Governor Wilson, lse It would take away the power to be draw juries from sheriffs, lodgost ing it with the commission apler pointed by the governor. ,he Governor Wilson regards yeslse terday's developments as breach of party discipline. He believes, however, that the principle of justice in this country ST is at stake and he considers the isslue so vital that he declared *"0 that soon after his inauguration on' he might deliver several speeches on this subject before Jp- < he people of northern New led Jersey, most of whose assemBX blymen voted in effect against >00 the governor yesterday, ich "Yes, it looks as if the bill ov- was beaten," said Governor Wilab son last night, "but it is not , >us dead yet. Tt is perfectly well known that the persons who are of exerting pressure on the legisto lature to defeat this bill are on those who wish to control grand om juries because they want to , a break the law and the people of ^he the state will understand that to abundantly before I get through oid with it." The President-elect said if the ise jury reform bill were defeated ion he would consider that he was of booked to speak in the primary irl- campaign next fall against asles semblymen seeking renominata tion who had voted against the ere measure. The governor's decen laration caused a flurry of exals citment in political circles. OFFICIAL SCARFPIN. LE. Wilson Presented With Miniaion ture Seal of the United on- States. Trenton, N.
