HUERTA NOW
"STALLINC"IS
BELIEF HERE
Washington Attributes His
Tactics to Desire to Run for
Mexican Presidency
WANTS TO CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE PLAN
BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Presideni
huerta is "sparring for time" He is
staving off decisive action on Presi.
dent Wilson's mediation plan by
dilatory tactics in a shrewd political
play to popularize his candidacy in
the National Mexican elections this
fall
This conviction was pressed home
To-Day upon the administration. High
olhcials expressed the belief that
Huerta is deliberately "stalling" in
negotiations with Special Envoy John
Lind. Huerta's note to Lind. as
partially received, is the basis for this
belief
Another installment of Huerta's
note. said to be 1000 words in length
was received today. Because of its
length and time required for code
translations at Mexico City and the
state Department, the entire text is
not expected to be in the hands of
President Wilson before this evening.
II became known today that in his
note, Huerta makes tantamount
rejection Of the bald proposition of
foreign mediation in Mexico. He asks
for time for careful and deliberate
consideration of The proposal That
he is greatly interested" in the Amer
lean representations and is receptive
to further explanations from Cover
nor Lind is indicated.
Huertas note, couched in Latin
American "fowery" verbiage gave
rise 10 the opinion in administration
circles here today that the de facto
president is attempting to postpone a
hnal decision, first, to make better
terms, If possible, without peremp-
torily rejecting the present proposals.
and second to keep the negotiations in
progress until he can decide whether
he will resign the provisional presi-
dency in favor of Minister of Foreign
Affairs Gamboa and announce his
candidacy for the presidency at the
October elections The latter is
generally believed to be his course.
With the receipt today from Lind 5f
another installment of Huerta's note
President Wilson arranged for a con-
ference with Senator Bacon. chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. The President is emphasizing
his decision that under present condi-
hohSt uc Will not COunteDdHce the re
moyal of the embargo against ship
ment of arms and ammunition to the
Mexican rebels. He believes such a
course would further infiame the anti
American sentiment in Southern Mex
leo and possibly provoke the de facto
&C Yernment to serious reprisals.
As long as Huerta manifests dis
position to consider the mediation
plan, without unduly temporizing and
continues cordial conferences with
Envoy Lind, President Wilson deems
1t polsic to afford every reasonable
opportunity to the Mexican executive
to join in a graceful. diplomatic and
peaceful solution of the strained situa-
tion.
Huerta's note. ii was learned au-
today. opens the door to
friendly negotiations with
Lind. The note recites the Federal
successes in the north and
the alleged decrease in disturbances
in the south. Huerta fatty claims that
conditions are more peaceful in Mex
leo as far as open rebellion are con-
cerned than at any tirae since the per-
iod prior to the revolt against former
President Diaz.

SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS.

Two nights this week boys very
much under 21 years of age annoy
ed the residents of East street and
East street extension by what was
evidently drunken revel. The boys
were on the river in boat and were
so intoxicated that they capsized the
boat and it required the help of one
another to bring the boys to shore.
They continued this nuisance until
long past midnight, keeping the
neighbors in that community awake
during that time.
AS the State law prohibits the sale
of intoxicants to minors it would be
interesting to know where the boys
received their supply of liquor. We
understand that the authorities are
now investigating the matter with
the view of Furnishing the parties
who had anything to do with the
sale of the liquor.

AMERICA REPLIES TO JAPAN.
Bryan and Chinda Decline to Dis
cuSS the Answer.

Washington, July 17.-Secretary
Bryan handed to Viscount Chinda
this afternoon the answer of the
United States to the last notes re-
ceived from the Government of ia
pan in its protest against the Cali
fornia alien land law. The Secre-
tary and the Ambassador were in
conference for about half an hour
at the State Department.
Mr.. Bryan and the Ambassador
both refused to discuss the note and
its contents. Mr.. Bryan was unwill-
ing to say whether or not the reply
of the United States, which is the
second of the series of exchanges,
would afford basis for the settle
ment of the controversy. 1t is un-
derstood that the Governments are
really no nearer settlement of the
matter than at the outset. The dis
cussions between them are merely
in the legal and argumentative stage.

TALKING PICTURES PLEASED
CAPACITY HOUSE.

Only words of praise were heard
at the close of the Edison talking
moving pictures performance on
Monday evening at the Lyric thea
tre. The invention of Wizard Edi-
son was demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of one of the largest
houses that ever assembled in the
theatre, as being a marvellous feat.
The pictures were clear and some of
the best shown in Honesdale. The
talking of the characters represent
ed in the pictures was true to life
and truly demonstrated greater pos
sibilities in the talking moving pic
lures.
Manager B. H. Dittrich is to be
ongratulated in securing the Edi-
son talking pictures for the enter
tainment of Honesdale people. Ow-
ing to the capacity house the man.
agement of the Edison company has
placed Honesdale on the list of
towns that will be favored with 9TH
err similar performances in the fu-
ture.
