J. S. ACTION HAS
WEAKENED HUERiTA
Withholding Of Official Rec
ognition of His Admins
tration Has Effect

Mexico City. April 12.-That the
withholding 'of official recognition of
the United States has materially
weakened the Huerta government is
the opinion generally expressed by the
public and privately admitted in GER
tain Mexican official circles.
The new rebel movement has made
greater progress than has the pro-
vistonal government in suppressing
insurgency, and 1t Is no longer a Sc
cret that the condition of the treas
ury is such as will not permit the con-
tinuation of military operations much
longer. This has been publicly admit
ted by the Mexican minister Of the in
terror Gracia Granados.
The chamber Of deputies has not
approved the proposed foreign loan
but failure to take up this matter is
said to be due, to desire to avoid
further embarrassing the finance de-
able to arrange for the flotation Of
the loan, notwithstanding recent re-
assurances from London. 1t is as
sumed by the government that the in
ability to issue the loan is due direct
ly to non-recognition by Washington.
Editorial writer's comment on this
phase of the situation, and there is a
to place responsibility for the fate Of
Mexico on the United States.
Further complicating the financial
difficulties of the government is the
steady increase in the exchange rate,
which within week has mounted
from parity to 22 and that rate is on
ly available to favored patrons. In
an effort to check the upward tend
ency Of the exchange rate. the min
lister Of finance 10 urging congress to
authorize an increase Of ten per cent
in the export tax on gold. This has
brought Mexicans to the realization
that even the national currency is no
longer maintained on a gold basis.
Business conditions and Mexico
are rejecting seriously the revolution
ary disturbances. Shelters at Mon.
terey. Veladena and Torreon have
been closed for Lack Of fuel. At San
Luis Potesi, the smelters are running
on half time, and at Aguas Calientes
to third Of their capacity. At Chi
running on full time.
Transportation facilities remain
seriously crippled since the railroads
to the seaboard and Matamoras are
the only outlets.
Rebels practically control the states
of Sonora, Coahuila and Durango in
the north. while the situation in the
in control. has not materially chang
ed. In Nuevo Leon the federals are
slowly regaining possession of the
railroad to Laredo on the Texas bor-
der. but the rebels. pushed back from
this line Of communication are ex-
tending the zone of operations FAR to
the eastward.
In southern Coahuila, the rebels
hold the immediate neighbornood
around TOrreon and between there
and Chihuahua and INTERRUPT traffic
on the Mexican central railroad almost
at will.
So uncertain is the situation in the
state of Durango that the government
itself ia unable to say whether the
state capital is held by government
forces. There is no communication
between Durango and Mexico City
either by railroad or telegraph.

be utter folly or worse for any master
to attempt to keep within five miles
from land between these ports. The
shore line is anything but straight.
In thick or even hazy weather it
would be impossible to follow it, and
no shipmaster would ever make the
attempt"
But yet the ship owners take adj
vantage of this five-mile permission
to jam as many passengers aboard as
wish to purchase tickets.
The Christopher Columbus is al
lowed to carry $50 passengers
throughout the year with the excep-
ton of May to October, when it is
permitted to carry 1,617. Within the
five mile limit $500 passengers are
jammed on the vessel.
The Christopher Columbus trades
between Chicago and Milwaukee. To
keep within the five-mile limit she
must, while heading to the north,
work to the westward after leaving
Chicago, along by Waukegan and
Kenosha, thence to the eastward to
clear Racine and then head for Mil
waukee.

A. W. Goodrich, head of the Grea
a force of lobbyists, has launched a
defeat the bill which now lies buried
in a House committee. ~
Goodrich hopes to beat the bill by
his contention that it will be impossi-
BILE for ship to provide lifeboats for
5000 or 1000 passengers.
Victor A. Olander, president of the
Lake Seamen's Union, asserts that
this is mere subterfuge on the part
of Goodrich. He says there are only
three or four vessels on the Great
Lakes permitted to carry over 5000,
and that even they do not usually
have that many on board.
Olander claims that U. S. local in
spectors realize that it is unsafe for
a crowd of 5000 to board boat that
is permitted to carry that number of
passengers.
The following information shows
some of the loose methods in con-
Quoting navigation on the Great
Lakes:
The steamer City of Detroit III. is
allowed to carry only 5S1 passen-
gers throughout the entire year with
the exception of the period from May
to October, when it is allowed to car
ry 2,289, and IF it keeps within five
miles of shore 4,015 passengers can
be jammed on board.
This steamer trades between De-
troit and Buffalo," said Olander. "a
