as an injustice, but If they make good
the salaries will probably come later.
And there seems to be no reason why
they should fail. Their work involves
no actual. cleaning Of the streets, but
merely direction Of 1t and subsequent
inspection.
The women of New York, and Of
many other cities, have already given
proof of their efficiency in undertake
ings of this character, for which they
are especially fitted. The qualities
which they display in caring for the
household, and the taste they show
in matters affecting their personal APP
pcarance, should adapt them to
careers OF usefulness in the larger
field OF keeping a city's streets in or

something about being "tidy" by plac-
ing baskets on the sidewalks to serve

: nouncement by the United States, not
/ only reiterating its refusal to recognize
! the Huerta government. but making 1t
clear to the world that II also snail re-
! fuse to recognize any acts of the new
I congress, soon to be convened by
/ Huerta- The Washington government,
I it is understood, will not undertake to
guarantee any business or commercial
| relations with the Huerta government
and will probably stand with any coun-
try which shall repudiate the loans or
guarantees of the present government
Lift Embargo, Says BOrah.
Senators McCumber and Borah de-
clined to talk of what the president had
told them in their conference, but they
expressed their own views later. Sen
ator BOrah told the president, in his
opinion even should Huerta accede to
the American request for his resigna-
ton at this time, there would be no re-
sponsible person or persons to estab-
IlSh a government. The Idaho senator
suggested that if the embargo on arms
were lifted, the "COnstitutiOnalists'
probably could take possession of the
reins Of government in Mexico in about
80 days and that the United States
should give them an opportunity to
establish themselves. Should they fail.
he believes, the United States might
consider other steps.
Huerfa'S Financial Distress.
Senator McCumber said he believes
the embargo on arms should be raised,
but realized the position of the presi-
dent in being unwilling to send NUM-
tons of war into the rebellion-torn re-
public. The Huerta regime, he said,
was in such financial distress that it
would soon collapse of its own accord
Senators Would Lift Embargo.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, said he be-
lieved a majority of the members of
that committee were in favor OF rails
ing the embargo. To the suggestion
that the raising of the embargo would
be inhuman, some senators have de-
clared that such an act, on the other
hand. would put an end to the revOlu-
ton in a short time and spare the coun-
try the bloOdshed Of an indefinitely
prolonged struggle.
Congress Not Legally Chosen.
No developments from Mexico City
were announced from the state depart
ment or white house. Press dispatches
stating that Huerta had declared the !
presidential election null and void left
a doubt in the minds of some officials 1
as to whether the election of members
Of congress also would be so considered
by Huerta. The United States govern
ment already has made 1t clear In its !
representations to Huerta that it be- /
lieves the members of the new congress |
not to have been legally chosen.

MADERO IS AGAINST
ARMED INTERVENTION
Brother of Late President Thinks sta
bic Government VIII Be Estnb-
Iished If Embargo is Lifted.

New York, Nov. 10.-"FOr the ulti-
mate good of both the United States
and Mexico, armed intervention should
not be considered until Mexico shall
have been given a chance to solve her
own problems declared Alfonso Ma
derO, eldest surviving brother of Fran
cisco Madero. the late president Of
Mexico, in a statement here.
The United States has no moral right
to send an armed force into Mexico,
as the majority of the people of Mex
leo can establish and maintain a stable
government. This they can do quickly
if the embargo on arms be lifted. The
COnstitutiOnahsts' should be allowed
an opportunity to demonstrate their
power before Intervention is consid-
cred"
Neither Alfonso nor any of his kins-
men, now in New York, would concede
the possibility that Gen Carranza
with arms at his disposal, could not
bring order out of Mexico's present
chaos
we still have faith in our country
and its capacity for lf-government,"
is the sentiment of all the Madero
family.

Artillery Plays Important Part.
Yesterdays dispatches indicate that
the artillery played an important part
in the battle and it was by their well
directed and steady cannon fire that
the federal defenders beat off the
rebels. From 10 o'clock Friday night
until o'clock Saturday morning the
sound of booming guns and bursting
shells continued. 1t is estimated that
16 machine guns and eight field pieces
were in action for five hours, scatter
ing bullets and shells as fast as they
could be manipulated.
Rebels Use Two Cannon.
Two field pieces We're used by the
rebels. who also had six machine guns
in action. 1t was here that the feder-
ais had the advantage, ror the aim OF
their gunners was much truer than
that of the rebels, whose two cannon
were silenced about two hours after
they had begun to talk
Federal Guns Play Havoc.
From the Hill of the Cross and the
Santa Rosa hill the federal guns played
havoc with the rebels. These points
overlook the surrounding country and
from them experienced cannOneers are
able to send shells in any direction
Between 5000 and 5000 rebels took
part in the two days fighting.
Final Assault Is Desperate.
Made desperate by continued defeat,
the rebels launched a final attack Sat
urday morning at 4 o'clock against the
Hill of the Cross, on the crown Of
which stood a battery or four cannon,
commanded by Col Paliza Eight hun
dred men were hurled in a final assault
against this position, to which were
rushed federal troops from all over the
city. The engagement lasted, how

tackers fell back before the artillery
fire poured into their ranks. Bhis
