The supervision Of motor boats is pro-
nounced one of the serious problems now
confronting this bureau. The supervising
inspector general declares that the work
of the service has now become so greatly
varied that the name steamboat inspec-
ton service no longer describes correctly
the activities of the bureau. He recon-

LIND TO CONDUCT
FINAL, NEGOTIATIONS

Mexico City, November Final stages
of the negotiations between the United
States and Mexico are to be participated
in personally at short range by John Lind.
He arrived today from Vera Cruz. The
series of delays in Provisional President
States and the lack of definite action
which would indicate his attitude in face
of the demands made has been annoying
to President Wilson's extraordinary rep
resentative.
1t was known that negotiations had been
conducted in an indirect manner not fol-
lowing the ordinary regular diplomatic
channel, and Mr. Linds sudden appear
ance in the federal capital is assumed to
be due to his desire to bring things quickly
to a clearly defined point.
Provisional President Huerta's formal
negative answer to the demands of the
United States, which was discussed in de-
tail at last nights cabinet meeting Will
set forth that the United States has no
right legal or otherwise, to demand Gem
eral Huerta's elimination.
His statement was given out today
from one of the departments or the gov
ernment of Mexico.
The reply, it is said, will also assert that
Provisional President Huerta has no legal
right to accede to the demands. The in
tormant says it was decided to incorpor-
ate In the reply declaration that Cen
eral Huerta intends to increase the Mex
lean army to 10000 soldiers.

President Wilson'S personal representa-

any enthusiasm over the prospect of
Huerta giving up office. From his man

he believes the negotiations are nearing
an end.

Silver Most Elusive
Silver was the most elusive thing in
the capital today. The price of foreign
exchange stiffened and few merchants
resorted to the plan of issuing vouchers
in place of silver in making change. At
some of the city banks the bank notes of
certain states were refused. This caused
a slight panic among holders of such
paper.

houses have no legal standing and in

London, England, November DE
Gliding efforts are being made to induce
the British government to come to an
agreement with suffragists whereby a
measure for the enfranchisement OF
women can be made an urgent part OF
the liberal party's official programme.
Some of the suffragist leaders declare
this movement has obtained consider
able headway. A significant feature
of the conferences has been the pres
ence of Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick William
Pethick Lawrence. who left the folds
of the Women's Social and Political
union at the request of Mrs. Emmelne
Pankhurst and who took with them
their paper, Votes for Women
1t Is known that the government will
consider only a compromise based ON
the knowledge of an unqualified repu-
diation of the Women's Social and Po-
litical union and all its militant prac-
tices.
Hitherto the constitutionalist suffra-
gists have refused to criticise formally
the actions of their militant sisters, de-
claring 1t was bad tactics in the face
of the common enemy to question the
actions of the militant association.
However, several of the prominent
constitutional suffrage leaders now ex-
press themselves willing to abandon
this position.

Minneapolis, November Mrs. En-
incline Pankhurst when shown the
cablegram here today relating to ef-
forts being made to induce the British
government to agree with the suffra-
gists said, "the statement refers to q
policy which has been formulated not
to be put into operation at once, but to
induce the liberalists and unionists to
declare themselves with regard to their
intentions after the general election"
with this policy the Women's Social
and Political union does not agree"
said Mrs. Pankhurst. I'VE have been
forced to the conclusion that the pres
ent leaders of the liberal party are de-
termined not to give women the right
to vote. In the last 10 days the chan
collor of the exchequer has confirme d
our opinion of the liberal administra-
tion by declaration that the present
Parliament would not enfranchise wom-

a general election to follow at the ear

Wilson Should Insist So
Huerta's withdrSs

the United States do O = event Pro-
visional President H efuses to re-
sign? This questio, discussed at
length today in the cabinet meeting, but
no decision was announced.
Formal reply to the latest American rep
resentations has not been received up to
late today and until definite answer
comes it is not expected there will be a
determination of the policy to be pur-
sued
The discussion at the cabinet meeting
turned, however, to various alternatives.
Nothing concrete developed. it was said,
nor were there any tangible conclusions,
but members went away with fixed ideas
of the determination of President Wilson
that the American government should un-
waveringly insist on the elimination of
Huerta from the situation as the first step
toward peace in the southern republic.
Embargo Being Considered
Lifting the embargo on arms so that
the constitutionalists may obtain muni-
tions of war was one of the principal sug-
gestions taken under consideration, but
as yet there is no change in the neutrality
attitude of the Washington government.
Press dispatches today announcing to
an extent Huerta's purpose of rejecting
the American demands made no impress
sion on government officials They had
received no official communication to that
effect, and would not comment, they said,
until they had received official notice.
A hopefulness that Huerta would realize
the certainty of future complications and
eliminate himself from the situation was
expressed by some officials, but there was
no information available to indicate upon
what such optimism might be based.
Dispatches from Berlin stating that Ger
many would consider movement to bring
the powers into support of the American
policy only if such a step were desired
by the Washington government led to the
belief IN many quarters that some move
ment might yet be developed in the situa-
ton to convince Huerta of the force of the
American viewpoint.
Secretary Bryan declined OF discuss this
or any other phase Of the situation.
