PEACE FORUM REJECTS
VIEWS Of DR.. TUPPER

At q recent luncheon OF the officers and
directors Of the International Peace FO-
rum. at which the Mexican question was
discussed. the report Of Dr. Henry Allen
Upper. the forums special commissioner
to Mexico. was practically repudiated.
The meeting was held in New York. and
was behind closed doors. but the proceed
ings have just been made public through
the Peace Forum. the official organ of
the organisation.
DR.. Tupper attended the luncheon imme-
diately after returning from the Mexican
border, where he was in frequent confer
ence with Gen. Carranza and the men,
bers OF his stan. His report was entirely
favorable to the c0nstitutionalfsts. but
other officers Of the forum criticised his
report because he had not conferred inti-
nately with representatives of Gen.
Huerta.
Against Intervention.
The events of the meeting were thus
| summarized in the Official report: 1.-THE
consensus of opinion was against in
tervention. that all peaceful influences
should be encouraged, that there should
be opportunity for the people Of Mex
leo to vote for a president and that
after such an election the United
States should offer all aid In the es-
tablishment of a constitutional gov

Huerta, in His Message to
Congress, Justifies Use of
Arbitrary Powers in Crisis

MEXICO CITY, November 2o-Follow-
ing is the fuii text Of the message which
President Huerta will deliver to congress
this evening:
In accordance with the constitutional
provision relative to the matter. it is the
duty OF the chief executive to inform the
congress Of the nation twice every year
of the status of public affairs. these re-
ports corresponding TO the two solemn
openings OF the regular sessions of your
duties. This provision having been COM
piled with by means of the extensive re-
ports l read In this chamber on Septem-
Der 18th last. and it happened at
the time that the 1st of April was far
ahead, at which time the government
should once more bring TO your attention
the status of the natonai situation. ii can
now be understood that this brief message
cannot be SO extensive as the other docu-
ments. but that IL should be limited to
giving you an account of the political
events which have taken place since Oc-
tober 10th last to this significant date
in which, by virtue of the solemn promise
j have made before the nation and the
world, the country is resumng its course
under the straight and infiexible provi-
Sions of the fundamental chart of the re-
public. and this within such a peremptory
time necessarily so sets In relief before
persons not 3ctuated by passion the IN
disputable good faith and the uneXceiled
good will with which the government of
the nation has been making efforts to re-
instate the supremacy of peace and the
law in the midst of conditions which
without false modesty are of the char
acter sufficient to discourage the strongest
decision If such is not supported by a
great faith in the law. in justice and in
the welfare of the country.
Equilibrium of Powers.
The embodiment Of our political struc-
ture having as a basis a perfect equi-
hbrium between the three powers by
means of which the people exercises Its
sovereignty. IL can be easily understood
to what extent Of difficulty we could be
dragged by the least interruption or
alteration Of this equilibrium. The
trainers of the constitution understand
ing this to be the case, marked for each
power the province of their proper and
legitimate action. in order that by re-
naming invariably between the lines
marked for each Of them perfect har-
mony OF the whole would be preserved
The very moment that any Of the three
powers should go beyond the boundaries
action Of the others would necessarily
be invaded. the equilibrium would be
deeply disturbed and constitutional
functions would be altered, thus menac-
ing the life itself of the political state,
and unless that the trespassing power
be brought without delay to Its ex-

to come before the polls, In order that 1t
should then and there express it's ulti-
mate and sovereign desire, and, 1T being
impossible to hesitate before such situ-
alton, the executive adopted the extreme
measure, dissolved congress. employing
for this purpose just the necessary
amount of energy to face so dehcate
condition. and convened the people to
new elections. wherefrom your investiture,
Messrs. Representatives, proceeds.
Justifies Dissolution.
1.-The executive has not the slightest
doubt that before a serene criterium con-
stitutional order was not interrupted
when congress was dissolved. but at the
precise moment in which a series of in
fractions against the province of action
of the other two powers began. but even
If such was not the case. though II Is II
shall always appear as a high and noble
motive preferable under any circum-
ciples may suffer and not to maintain
intact at the expense of the life of the
country provisions of rigid and inani-
mate character whose justice and useful
ness may yet be the subject of discus
sion, because in fine the words of the
great Bonaparte that the law is not vio-
lated when the country Is saved shall
always be true.
Congress having been dissolved, and
in absence of this important organ of
the government from that date until the
assembling Of the new chambers, it be-
came necessary to decree extraordinary
powers. Under similar circumstances the
great Benito Juarez governed during long
periods of time under the regime of ex-
traordinary powers. Therefore, it does
not seem excessive that my government
may have resorted to them in view of
the lack of the legislative power, but the
national representation will not fail to
observe how moderate has been the ac-
ton of the executive in not decreeing nor
exercising them except with reference to
three branches of the administration,
hacienda, gubernacion and war-that is
to say. in those branches in which its
action was absolutely imperative.
This would seem as a propitious mo-
ment to give you an account of the use
made of the above powers but inasmuch
as it is the purpose of this congress to
pass upon them l shall in due time and
under separate distribution give you an

CINCINNATI, Sept. 2O.--A heart

had been torn from her breast by Mrs
Margaret Wilson, landlady, to be held
as hostage until she could pay her
rent in the apartment in which she,
her child and sick husband lived,
was told to the police by Mrs Walter
Meeker and resulted in a hasty visit
to the home of Mrs. Wilson by Miss
Emma Utz, probation officer.
Mrs. Wilson admitted that she took
the child in lieu Of rent, but said that
she thought the child could have a
better home with her.
The probation officer placed the in
FAINT in the Children's Home and Mrs.
Wilson was given a severe lecture b.

Kind was preferred against her,
