HUERTA REFUSES TO RESIGN
Washington Much Interested in An
nouncement Which Tends to
Cloud the Situation.

Washington, D. C.-Ohcia1 Wash
ington read with keen interest the
declaration Of Aureliano Urrutia, the
Mexican minister of the interior, that
provisional President Huerta would
not resign and moreover would brook
no interference on the part of for
eigners.
While no plan that the American
government has had under serious
consideration involved any direct in
reference in Mexican affairs, the adj
mitted attitude of the administration
here is one of unaIterab1e opposition
to the recognition of the Huerta

A NEW NAVAL BASE
A REPORT-SAYS THAT ENGLAND
is PLANNING JOLT For MON
ROE DOCTRINE.
PANAMA CANAL THE CAUSE
British Government Talking of Estab-
fishing a Station in Bermuda
Islands to Safeguard Its
Shipping.

Washington, D. C.-Keen interest
has been aroused in official circles
here by report reaching the State
Department that Great Britain is con-
templating esta blishing a great naval
base in the Bermuda Islands. 1t is
stated authoritatively that the British
government has made inquiry con-
corning the plans of the United States
for the protection of the Panama Ca
nal routes and it has been suggested
that this indicates an intention to
safeguard British shipping through the
isthmus as it is done in the Mediter-
ranean.
Officials realize that the problem
raised is a tremendous one, involving
as it may the very life of the Monroe
Doctrine, and marking perhaps a COM
plete revolution in foreign naval pol
icy in the Western Hemisphere. For
it is expected that if Great Britain
changes her naval policy in American
Atlantic waters, other European ma
>tions probable will follow suit.
While these changes may be ex-
pected in the Atlantic waters and the
West Indies, officials likewise realize
that with the opening of the canal,
the United States must contend with
Japan for the domination of the
Pacific.
By way of looking out for future
contingencies at the Pacific terminal
of the Panama Canal, the British
claim ownership of Clipperton Island,
probably the finest deep water harbor
in that part of the Pacific Ocean.
While Great Britain is thus assert
ing itself, officials here remember how
long Germany has looked with visit
full eyes at the Danish West Indian
Island of St. Thomas, which occupies
a strong strategic position in relation
to the Panama Canal. American nav
al strategists always have favored the
acquisition of the island, which Ger
many would take over except for
American objection.

The scientific world Is beginning to
recognize in Che United States a de-
gree of progress in certain branches
of medical science which puts this
country even ahead of Germany. That
this is not mere empty talk is demon
strated by the circumstance that the
eminent Viennese phyician, DR.. Carl
Won Noorden of the medical faculty
of Viennt university not only has at
tested these things by word of mouth,
but has sent his son to this side of
the Atlantic to become a student at
Johns Hopkins.

GUT EXPRESS RATES
ORDER OF INTERSTATE CON-
MERGE COMMISSION REDUCES
COMPANIES REVENUE.
"A LEGAL BATTLE PROBABLE
The Express Companies Declare They
Can't Live on New Rates and
Will Appeal to the
Courts.

Washington, d. C.-Reductions in
express rates, which will cost the com
panies fully s26,OOO,OO0 a year, ap-
proximately 16 per cent of their gross
revenue, have been ordered by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to be
come effective on or, before October
Is, 1918. Notable reforms in prac-
tees also were ordered
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way of
modification of the present graduated
scale of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates for short distances either
have been left unchanged or slightly
reduced; for longer distances they
have been lowered; for fifty pounds
or less all rates practically have been
reduced.
For packages more than four pounds
going more than two hundred miles
and less than two thousand miles the
new express rates are generally lower
than the parcel post rates; for more
than three thousand miles the rates
are practically the same.
Their report and order of the COM
mission prepared by Commissioner
John H. Marble are a virtual affirma-
ton of the findings of Franklin K.
Lane, formerly commissioner, now
secretary of the interior.
By prescribing a so-called block sys-
tenn, dividing the United States into
$50 blocks, averaging $500 square
miles, as originally proposed by Mr..
Lane, 900,000,0O0 different rates now
published by the express companies
will be reduced to fewer than $50, 900
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion believes that the system points
the way to a solution of the existing
maze of freight rates.
The general impression in official
quarters is that the express compa-
MES will attempt to test by legal
means the constitutionality of the
commissions order.
The requirement of the order of
June 8, 1912, that label shall be
attached to each parcel is modified to
the extent that in case of shipments
of perishable property, consisting of
two or more packages, the label need
be attached to only one package
The express companies had filed a
statement indicating that the losses
of revenue under the proposed rates
would be intolerable, and argued
strenuously that the establishment of
the parcel post had deprived them
they formerly received from parcels
of eleven pounds or less. They con-
tended that the express business could
not survive the losses from both
sources

twice had followed a trail from the

SAVING AN ANCIENT INDUSTRY.

Justice Scudder's decision that 1t is
not SANDER to call horse dealer "a
skin" establishes another buiwark for
free speech AS the justice remarked
In dismissing the suit, Things like
that are nearly always said in the
course of a horse deal" They are, in
fact, an essential part of the transac-
ton, says the New York World. There
probably never was a horse deal one
party to which did not think he had
been cheated, and to prevent by law
the free expression Of his grievance
In the trades time honored terms of
fnvectfve would amount to an inter
ference with an ancient American in
dustry- The decision in effect au-
thorizes the continuance of horse
dealing under its traditional methods.
whereas an adverse ruling would
have tended to hamper If not destroy
it In thus Identifying the language of
horse trading the learned judge does
not, it is true, raise 1t to the level
of the language of politics. 1t may
still be hazardous to call a dealer
crook or liar. Apart from its new
legal status, skin is defined in the
dictionaries as "a cheat, or fraud, or
sharper" On a horse dealers lips,
like scamp" and '1oafer" on the lips
of a mayor, it has lost its original
force from frequent and promiscuous
use and become a technical trade
term
