"HE true meaning OF etiquette. or

Change in Mexican Situation.

Washington, March 13.-Ambassa
dor Wilson has informed the state de.
partment that the Huerta government
OF Mexico has announced that the
British government has declared its
willingness to receive a new minis
ter from Mexico. This is interpreted
In Mexico City and in Washington as
equivalent to recognition of the
provisional government of Mexico.
Secretary Bryan Is Mum.
Secretary of State Bryan refused to
discuss the Mexican situation in any
way, however, and would not say
whether the British government had
consulted with the United States be-
fore deciding to grant recognition to
the HUerta government. 1t has usu-
ally been the custom for European
governments to withhold recognition
of new government in Latin Amer
lea until such government had been
recognized by the United States.
Mexican Situation UNCHANGED.

Employers in Tacoma who dis
charge employees who are called
upon to serve as jurors in the
Pierce county courts will be se-
verely dealt with. Superior Judge
w. o. Chapman, hearing the ex-
cuses of new Jurors who wished

clared that any such employer

II want to say that II any per-
son Is discharged from work be-
cause their time is taken up by
jury duty, his employer will be
brought before the court and pun
ished severely" announced the

Welcomed to the state of Wash
ington by Gov. Ernest Lister and
to the city by Mayor Geo. F. Cot
terill, both of whom made enthus-
iastic speeches In support of the
principles Of organized labor, the
delegates went to work on fed

The public service commission
opened session at the CONNER
cial club today to take final evil
dence in the case brought by the
patrons of the Pacific Traction
line to American LAKE, protesting
against the attempt of the COM
pany to pull off the commutation
tickets and demanding that the
old fares be maintained of a
round trip for a quarter and COM
mutation fares at 10 cents each
way.
State Engineer F. s. Burrows
gave the facts of the cost and
valuation and receipts of the COM
pany. He showed the property
can be reproduced for $452,000.
The Puget Sound electric bought
it by assuming the $4,000 0
bonds and giving 1000 shares OF
their own stock worth $71,000.
The cash invested in the line up
to this time had been 5000, 1000,
so they got it $135, 900 less than
cost.
The receipts never were enough
to pay operating expenses until
1910 but have continually In
creased. In 1912 after paying
operating expenses and taxes the
company had $22.039.72 left.
Even cutting out $9,564 for de-
probation of the line it had $13,-
600 left. This is not enough to
pay interest of more than about 3
per cent on the investment

have nothing left apparently after
it gets through with the hearing

gineering experts and Judge

TRUE SITUATION
IS MADE PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10.
-Huerta hasn't defied the ad-
ministration. The administration
hasn't closed its door finally to
the Huerta government nor has it
thrown its door open to Carranza,
the rebel leader. These facts
were made plain at the executive
offices as far as the United States
is concerned and no new Mexican
policy has been adopted, it is stat
ed. The gravity of the situation
is recognized but the president

said he still harbo-s a faint hope
that diplomatic pressure will
bring the dictator to terms. News
paper correspondents to whom the
president gave weekly reception,
learned definitely from him that
he is not preparing a message to
congress recommending recogni-
tion of the rebels, neither has
Lind made a final report. The
president, it is announced, does
not intend to send a message at
present.

such a case as would arouse the
