Mexican Ruler Sends Such
Message to President
Wilson
AWAIT DEVELO PMENT
No Message Is As Yet Ready for Con.
gress on Mexican Subject
Tension Grows.

Washington, Nov. 10.-President
Wilson received from Huerta today
a definite decision that he would not
abdicate. In long message to all
diplomats in Mexico City, through
Minister of Foreign Relations Mohe-
no, Huerta insists on the constitu-
tionality of the present Mexican gov
eminent and makes known his right
to declare null the elections for pre-
sident and through the new con-
gress, which the United States will
not recognize, will order new cleo
ton. Coincident with this right the
Mexican ruler asserts his authority
to continue in office and to enforce
his plans for pacficiatio1 through
out Mexico.
At the White House it was an
nounced that developments in the
Mexican situation were being await
ed. Until information has been re-
ceived, announcements of NV action
of this government would not be
taken. In any event it was said
there would be no declaration from
the White House for the next forty
eight hours.
From American sources it is learn
ed today that the most recent recon-
'mendations made by this govern
ment to Mexico were not such as to
threaten intervention, but left the
way open to the application 81 other
methods to-. bring Pabbk6Sddtgos peaceful
adjustment Of difffcQItiAs, 1i17a 81
The last message to Huerta is said
to have been an appeal to his partiot-
ism. He was told that he could not
be recognized as provisional presi-
dent by this country and If he de-
sired peace in Mexico he must re-
tire. go
Secretary Bryan emphasized this
position of this government when he
admitted that this government would
not recognize the legality Of the new
Mexican congress. This invalidates
SO far as this government is concern
ed, the legality or any action taken
by that congress, including the call
for new election for president.
In frank talk with visitors
Interested in the Mexican situation,
President Wilson said that he had
nothing in shape pending study OF
Huerta's reply to the most recent
message Of this government. He adj
mitted that definite representations
had been made to Huerta. The
White House said that the president
had no message ready for congress
on the Mexican subject.
President Wilson will study the
Moheno note tonight. Secretary
Bryan refused to comment on its sui
ficiency. The cabinet will meet TO-
morrow when It will be considered.

ferson circuit court here Monday, af-
ter he had made the declaration that
he had no money with which to en-
ploy counsel. Judge Grace appointed

rells asked to be relieved because he
was member Of the city council, and
Judge r J. Kerwin was named to fill
the vacancy. Judge James Gould is
also assisting in the defense. District
Attorney r.. G. Parham, who expected
Russell to enter plea OF guilty and
throw himself on the mercy of the
court. is prosecuting.
When Russell was asked ii he had

his last cent settling up his shortage
with the various districts and that he
! had no funds. He told the court that
he had succeeded In disposing OF ali
his property and other holdings ana
had paid back every cent Of the short
age to the various districts. Judge
Grace informed him that his court was
not a collecting agency, but that he
was charged with crime and had to
stoLd trial.
The last part Of the shortage was
paid Saturday Of last week by Russell,
amounting to $7e2, which was given
to the commissioners Of Paving Dis
| trict No. 26. Russell had been out on
bond every since his arrest. He has
interested large number Of personal

HALLELUJAH TIMES AHEAD

R. S. Hall, capitalist, of Ocala, one
of the most extensive lumber and
turpentine operators in the state. was
registered at one of the down town
hotels last night.
There are hallelujah times ahead
for Florida" remarked Mr. Hall to a
number of his friends who were
gathered around him in the lobby.
From the way it looks to me, this
coming year of 1914 is goin gto be a
wonder and a record-breaker.
This state is tremendously strong,
financially; there are any number of
proofs of this fact, while, as every
one knows, its marvellous natural re-
sources and advantages of soil and
climate have hardly been scratched
on the surface as yet Times

Mr.. Hall made other encouraging
remarks along this line, which only
the lack of time prevents the Star

PLAYED TO 4 GOOD
HOUSE AT PALATkA

Palatka, Fa., Sept. %, 1913.
Editor Star: Having seen Edouard
D'Oize and company last evening at
the Howell theater in The Merch-
an of Venice" / can most heartily
recommend the production as being
first class in every respect. Mr..
D'Oize as 'tShylock" is indeed an ar
fist, and the supporting caste is large
and complete. The scenery is hand
some and typically Venetian, while
the costumes are costly and entirely
appropriate. Though other Shaks-
perean plays have been given here in
seasons past, none have been so clev-
erly and splendidly presented as Mr..
D'Oize's version of The Merchant
o. Venice" as given at the Howell
theater last evening. Palatkans
were delighted with the play.
Very truly yours,

The Income Tax.

The Democratic principle that
wealth shall bear its full proper
tion of taxation, is after years of
effort in that direction to be
realized. Such a law would have
been enforced long ago, but for
the rather scandalous action of
a member of the country's high
est court, who underwent a
change of sentiment in a night.
1t has taken a constitutional
amendment to accomplish the
result, slow indeed, but sure,
henceforth the question will not
be left with the courts. 1t has
been settled that all incomes in
excess of $500 shall be taxed,
and that every man will enjoy
the same exemptions. The first
go, 0OO will pay one per cent; in
excess of $4,000 two per cent;
and in excess of $500, 900 three
per cent. and on a million or over
four per cent--W. P. Walton,
in the Lexington Leader.

The annual consumption of
sugar I'm America, or rather the
United States, is 80 pounds for
each man, woman and child, as
our family average five persons
the sugar used by each FIRMLY as
the average taking the country
over is 400 pounds. A vt
many poor families do notNe
100 poundsin a year, while many
rich ones use that much in a
month. If the tariff revision
downward takes only a penny
off of sugar it will save each
family in the United States on
the average $500; other items
are to be reduced, clothing and
many other necessary articles
therefore it is safe to estimate
the saving at $4,000 to each
family on all the items reduced
in the new tariff bill, a dollar a
week saved is not to be sneezeG at.
If our democratic warriors sue
coed in this first step they will
find it much easier to take the
the second step and the country
more willing to believe in them
and offer them the encourages
ment they deserve.

A Definite Policy.

The Chicago Record Herald. a

the Presidents message. pays
this high compliment to the
president: Even the opponents
of the measure, or of the argu-
ments advanced in its favor, will
candidly admit, however, that
the president and his party are
endeavoring to redeem their
pledges, to relieve the consumer
to open new channels tOindustry
and commerce, and to promote
national prosperity There may
be room for amendments and
compromises; no rate is to be
considered final; a full and search
ing discussion of the bill is as
sured. The administration will
not wabble; it knows what it
wants and will accept respOn-
sibility for the consequences of
its policies; but it will welcome
light and honest data from those
who regard the proposed reduc-
tons as too radical.

The Facts Of Our Day.

The democratic purpose with
respect to the tariff question is
we'll described in the following
extracts from President Wilson's
first message to congress:
While the whole face and
method of our industrial and
commercial life were being chang
ed beyond recognition the tariff
schedules have remained what
they were before the change
began.
For a long time we have
sought, in our tariff schedules,
to give each group of manufac-
turers or producers what they
themselves thought that they
needed in order to maintain a
practically exclusive market as
gainst the rest of the world.
I'VE have built up a set of
privileges and exemptions from
competition, behind which it was
easy for any, even the crudest,
forms of combination to organize
monopoly"
Nothing normal, nothing is
obliged to stand the tests of
efficiency and economy, in our
world of big business.
I'VE must abolish everything
that bears even the semblance
of privilege or any kind of arti-
fetal advantage, and put our
business men and producers un-
