Mexico City, Sept. 22.-"Not only
would it be an anomaly that the gov
ernment should have a candidate, but
1t can be further said that the govern
ment has no prediction for nor will
it aid any candidate"
In these words Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta Sunday replied to the
question whether he favored a candi-
date in the coming presidential cleo
tions. The Interrogation was prompt
ed by the speculation which has been
freely INDUCED that General Huerta in
tended to throw his support to this
or that man for the presidency to
succeed himself.
President Huerta received the news
paper men at Popotla, a suburb, where
he is erecting a residence and where
for the most part he resides. He ex-
planned the attitude which the admin.
istration will maintain, especially in
the present circumstances, "as one Of
absolute impartiality," and added that
il would only take precautions to pre-
vent any disturbance of public peace
and order and would suppress any ef-
fort in that direction.
The president said he would use the
army, if necessary, to keep order, but
pointed out that the army in such
event could not be said to be discharg-
ing duty imposed by politics but
would be acting solely for the main
tenance of democratic institutions.

AS Viewed in Washinqton.

Washington, Sept. 22.-Administra-
ton officials here regarded the state
ment made by Provisional President
Huerta to newspaper men in Mexico
that it would be an anomaly for the
government to have candidate" as
tantamount to a declaration that he
would not be a candidate himself in
the coming elections.
The United States has taken the po-
sition ever since the second Gamboa
note was received by John Lind that
Huerta had eliminated himself from
the presidential race, but Sundays dis
patch admittedly brought to admins
tration officials the first concrete ex-
peession of his intention.
The tenor of Provisional President
Huerta's remarks that his government
would maintain an attitude of "abso-
lutte impartiality" was interpreted by
many officials as general compliance,
morally at least, in the proposals made
by John Lind for the elimination OF
Huerta and the holding of fair cleo
ton.
In many quarters. among Constitu'
tionalists and others familiar with the
situation who have shown constantly
a disposition to doubt Gen. Huerta'F
motives, the news made little impres
sion The view was expressed thai
Huerta had pronounced himself as I'm
partial merely to remove the suspicion
of government support to the candi
dacy of one whom he might secretl,
favor. General Huerta's mention o.
the army as guarding the polls evoked
the comment that in such mannel
Huerta would exercise covert contro
over the electoral machinery.

heard the news, however. 1t was aEreel

LEADER OF TAMMANY HALL WILL
BE PUT ON DEFENSIVE IN I'M
PARCHMENT HEARING.
GOVERNOR WILL TELL STORY
What Revelations He Will Make Can.
not Be Learned, But Friends Say No
influence Can Prevent Him From
Taking Stand-Hearing Resumed.

Albany, N. Y, Sept 22-Charles F.
Murphy. leader of Tammany Hall,
whom Gov. Sulzer accuses of having
instigated his impeachment, will be
forced to take the witness stand prac-
tically in his own defense before the
impeachment trial is over, in the opin-
ion of the Governors close friends.
They say the Governor will take the
stand and that his story will compel
the attorneys for the impeachment
managers to call the Tammany leader
What revelations the Governor will
make is unknown. All efforts to inter
view him on his expected testimony
has ben futile. But his friends pro-
fess to know that no influence can
prevent him from testifying in event
the constitutional objections raised by
his attorneys to prevent the case from
coming to trial are overruled.
The Governors counsel would not
discuss the possibility of Mr. Murphy
or anyone else, being called as a wit
ness 1t was; however, recalled last
night that after the Governors 50
called break with Murphy last June
the Governor publicly charged that the
/ Tammany leader was behind con
spiracy to blacken my character be
cause l refused to do his bidding"
A growing spirit of confidence is
manifest among the Sulzer adherents
The fact that the board of managers
is attempting to pass additional ar
ticles of Impeachment is asserted by
the Governors followers to be an ad
mission that it fears it has not estab
lished a case. The board of managers
laughs at this assertion, saying all fee
it is only just that all the evidence
they have against the Governor should
be produced.
Nothing short of death can prevent
Gov. Sulzer and his wife from testify
ing in his Impeachment trial II the
constitutional objections of his attor
neys to the proceedings are overruled
This statement came last night from
an absolutely unquestionable source
1t followed weeks of speculation as to
whether either of them would testify
Friends of the Governor have advised
him on this point. Many have insist
ed that he ignore the proceedings en-
| tirely in 30 far as being present him
self was concerned. Others have In
sisted that even if the Governor de
cided to testify he should not permit
Mrs. Sulzer to tell her story.
But the Governor has maintained
from the start that he will tell the
story of the alleged conspiracy which
he insists brought about his impeach
ment.
Mrs. Sulzer's testimony has beer
considered too vital to the case OF th'
defense to permit her to remain silent

AMERICAN CITIES IN 1912.

The growth Oi our cities, phc- nomenal in many instances, al- ways arouses interest. and one need not wait for the uecennial census to get true indication ot their relative rise. The building reports, which are without incen- live to exaggeration. are a sure index.
 Reports for the year, with eS- inmates for the last day or two, have been made up. New York, of course, leads, with it's phe- nomenal growth not only main- tained but increased. No other city ever equalled or approached it. Chicago is installed duly in second place, with rather less than half the amount of build ing that New York has done.
 But below these two. import ant changes are occurring. Phil adelphia, an undisturbed third for decades, still holds the position in 1912, but by a narrow margin, Los Angeles is close upon her. It. is a singular fact that this city, not so long ago a sleepy half Mexican town, is now the fourth of the Union in building opera lions. It spent for that purpose twice as much money as Cleve- land, nearly three times as much as Pittsburg, Minneapolis or Kan sas City, and 50 per cent more than St. Louis.
 San Francisco is considerably behind Los Angeles, but is sev- eral million dollars ahead of St Louis, while Detroit leads San Francisco by fair margin. The building operations for this ana the preceding years since the cen sus indicate that Detroit is grow ing faster than any other of the lake cities except Chicago.
 Atlanta has achieved more in 1912 than any other city in the South, but Louisville, Richmond, Dallas and Memphis have grown much, according to their build ing reports. The greatest ratio of development is shown on the Pa. cific coast. It will surprise many people to learn that Portland, Ore, has spent more money Oh new buildings than Buffalo o1 Baltimore or Newark OF Kansas City. and that it stands in tenth place. Seattle has also huilt heavily.
