SHARP CRITICISM
FOR 'SHAUGHNESSY
HIS STATEMENT STILL REMAINS
PUZZLE TO OFFICIALS IN
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-The fiat
contradiction by Charge d Affaires
Nelson 0'Shaughnessy, of the admin
istration statement that President
Huerta had given verbal assurances
that he would not be a candidate in
the forthcoming elections in Mexico,
still remains a new puzzle in the al
ready tangled Mexican situation
Despite Mr.. O'Shauehness VS. positive
statement that he has not received any
assurances that Huerta will not be a
presidential candidate, President Will
son Will continue to regard the Mexi-
can provisional president as pledged
to that effect. The president bases
this view of Huerta's position chiefly
upon the statement by Minister Gam
boa in his note. that the constitution
of Mexico prohibited Huerta from be-
coming a candidate to succeed him
self
Officials today privately expressed
regret that O'Shaughnessy had seen
fit to make the statement credited to
him In dispatches from Mexico City
last night. BY many his action was
rather sharply spoken Of but there
was no indication that the president.
or Secretary Bryan. will pursue the
matter further at this time.
Another new uncertainty In the
Mexican situation is the mission of
Manuel Zamacona, who will arrive In
Washington in two or three days,
direct from Mexico City. At Havana
this afternoon Zamacona disclaimed
the assumption that he was coming
as the personal representative of
President Huerta and that he would
endeavor to renew in Washington the
negotiations between the two govern
ments. At the same time from other
sources Ii is known definitely that
Huerta sent Zamacona to the United
States, and that he did so with the
purpose of establishing through him a
new channel of communication with
President Wilson

the general opinion entertained at the
close of the hearing on the convicted
bankers writ of habeas corpus before
Justice Hasbrouck this afternoon. And
in rendering his decision ii lis thought
the justice will hold that the assem-

Both sides in the controversy had
hoped that a decision would he rem
dered from the bench this afternoon,
but Justice Hashrouck announced that
he would hand down his finding later.
No date was fixed. but ruling is
likely to be made within a week. The
question which the court must answer
in determining whether the writ shall
be upheld or dismissed is: Was VIII

The impression prevails among
lawyers who attended the session to-
day that in addition to deciding that
point Justice Hasbrouck will express
himself on the validity of the assem-
bly's action, This presumption Is based
on the question frequently asked the
deputy attorney general, and the COR
poration counsel, by the court. Jus
tice Hasbrouck demanded repeatedly
to know of them: do you contend
that the assembly had the right to get
together without notifying all of its

session, and by two-third vote pass

EXCISE LAW FINES
HELP PENSION ROLL
Widows and Orphans Of Policemen
. and Firemen Are Being Paid
Money Due Them.

Although the new excise law has been
declared faulty in many respects, II has
served for one good purpose, in that
the heavy fines exacted in the District
Police Court from numerous offenders OF
the law have gone long way in putting
the poIicemen's and fremen's penslO..
fund on a sound basis.
Since July / all the widows and or
phans of policemen and firemen have re-
cefved the full amount of the pension
that they are entitled to. There is now
in the hands of Auditor Tweedale suffi-
cient funds TO insure the full payment
of the pension funds for September and
October.
Since July there has been more than
So, 900 placed to the credit of the fund.
OF this sum S2O,0 was derived from the
collection of dog taxes, and aproxi-
mately 5000 in fines levied in the Dis
trict Police Court for violations OF the
traffic regulations and the new excise
laws
The remainder of the amount collected
has been derived from the monthly re-
tentions from the salaries of the police
men and the firemen and fines for infrac-
tions of discipline.
II the violations of the new excise laws
continue as numerous as they have been
since July it is probable that the full
pension pay rolls can be met during the
entire year. Further additions to the
pension fund will depend almost entirely
upon fines from Police Court, for there
will be no more tax collections available
to the fund until next July.
At present there is $4,000 in the PEN
sion police fund to pay the T,673 due the
