lil. PASO, June 2K.—Additional arrests are to be

made, probably today, in the move of the government to

nip in the bud an alleged conspiracy to launch a new

revolution in Mexico and restore Huerta to power.

Some of the men to be taken into custody are

Gen. Huerta and Gen. Orozco, arrested last night

inactive until his hearing is called Thursday.

(Clifford Beckham, a young attorney, is acting as

special agent here of the department of justice.

Heck ham said more arrests were to be made and

that some of the men suspected are citizens of Texas.

All evidence will be placed before a federal grand

rgainst the recognized leaders, but it is planned to in

clude Americans who backed the proposed revolution

financially and those who furnished munitions ttVlTre

men who expected to add another faction to the war
