Mexican Revolt

Most of the evidence at hand con-
tinues to indicate that Provisional
President Victoriano Huerta is unal-
terably determined not to accede to
the demands of the United States for
his elimination as president of Mexico.
While a great international fleet is
virtually lying at the Atlantic and
Pacific ports of Mexico President
Huerta of Mexico presented to his
congress a message attempting to JUS
tify all his dictatorial acts.
Provisional President Huerta or
dered General Mass, commander of the
garrison at Vera Cruz, Mex, to resist
the American marines, if an attempt Is
made to land them.
General Mas has asked the Amer1-
can consulate at Vera Cruz, Mex, to
surrender Evaristo and Daniel Made
TO, who have taken refuge there after
the government had granted them lib
erty from Ulua under small bail. Con-
sui Canada has asked Washington for
structions-whether to deliver the
men or not.

A VIGOROUS PROTEST
Fire Commissioner Johnson's 1gnor-
ing of Women Is Sharply Criticised.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The failure Of Fire Commissioner
johnson To appoint women as inspectors
I'm the Fire Prevention Bureau has been
called 20 the attention Of the officers of
the Womens Auxiliary TO the Civil Service
Reform Association. We believe that the
action OF the Fire Commissioner should
not be passed over without further criti-
cism and protest.
The main facts of the case. briefly stat
ed show that the Fire Commissioner was
employing three women as temporary
inspectors before the examination was
men and women. and the announcements
OF the examination stated that there were
six vacancies TO which women would be
appointed. This was surely ample assur-
ance OF appointment To the permanent
force. and on. the strength OF 1t q num-
Der Of women devoted time and money
in preparation for the examination. The
civil Service Commission certified names
of both men and women from the eligible
lists. but when the appointments were
made by the Fire Commissioner only men
received permanent appointments.
This seems 10 us, In tho first place an
arbitrary and therefore unwarranted dis
elimination against women as inspectors.
The position Is one for which there can

REYNOLDS alone among the corps commanders knew
Meade's plans and Meade left it to his Judgment to
feel the enemy and to decide when and where the
contact between the two armies should occur. Reyn-
olds acted with the decision and energy for which
he was noted and had been Oh the scene at Gettys-

to fight there.
His death just as the battle really opened was a

Not Parallels.

Defenders of the administration currency Dill
mint to the United States Supreme Court and to
the Interstate Commerce Commission as bodies
which are appointed by the President and which
perform their functions acceptably and without re-
gard for political effect.
There is no real similarity between them and
the proposed Federal Reserve Board. If the MEM
bers of the Supreme Court were not appointed 1or
life but for brief terms. if majority OF the court
was always composed of the appointees OF the
President in office at the time and if three mem
bers of his Cabinet sat in it, who would be SO poid
as to say that the Supreme Court would close It's
ewes TO political considerations? If three OF the
seven members Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission were Cabinet members. is there any gooo
reason for believing that it would be free from
politics 1t is:
Senator owen in his statement regarding the bill
saws it is no more reasonable that the bankers
should be represented on the Federal Reserve
Board than that the railroads should he repre-
scented on the Interstate Commerce Commission
There is no point in this appeal to analogy. Not
only is the Interstate Commerce Commission con-
stituted upon sounder principle than the Federal
Reserve Board will be if the administration bill
passes but il has less power than 1t Is proposed 10
give TO the board The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is merely regulative body. II has no

Mr.. Bryan's Apology for McReyn'
olds and Caminetti Will Not
Help Them Much.

In his capacity of editor of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan has come 10 the rescue Of Attorney General
McReynolds. secretary of Labor Wilson and Com
missioner General of immigration Camlnettl' AL
sorey needing apoogist for their attempted III
reference with the course of justice in the Cali-
fornia white slave cases. One of Mr. Bryan
characteristics as politician is his extreme loyalty
To his friends and in this instance he is so eager to
apply the whewash brush to Messrs. Wilson and
Caminetti and because of them to Mr. McReynolds'
that he awkwardly upSets the whole whitewash
bucket.
The gravamen Of the charge against the three
officials is that they did not recognize the gross I'M
propriey of seeking to obSruct the administration
Of Justice as a matter of personal accommodation 10
a federal official who happened to he the father OF
one of the defendants That official is especially
charged with the execution of the white save
law so far as it aliens entering at our ports
Nobody could possibly have been in worse position
than he to ask favor of the sort which he asked
through Mr. Wilson. and which Mr.. McReynods
granted.
Mr.. Bryan exhibits as much childke innocence
as Secretary Wilson did when he says:
II such continuance had been asked in an ordi,
nary case under the same circumstances u "oulu
have been granted without question by any Attorney
General The fact that the father of one of the
defendants is public official ought not to alter the
The fact that the father of one of the defendants
was public official and that the postponement was
ordered as personal convenience to him not only
alters the case hut gives il its aggravated charac
Ter as an obstruction Of Justice to serve purely pri
vate ends If such thing had been done under
an administration of another faith Mr. Bryan would
undoubtedly have been among the first to denounce 1t
as a scandalous misuse of authority.
The Secretary of state also says that Secretary
Wilson made the request for the poStponement to Mr.
NIcReynolds ION his own initiative and without So
llcitation from Mr. Camineti." That statement does
not harmonic very well with the record furnished by
Mr. NIcNab. which shows that Mr.. Caminetti mad
previously appealed to the District Attorneys ONCE
i'm California to delay the case. Mr.. Caminettl, the
Secretary Of Labor and the Attorney General all
kew exactly what they were doing and why they
were doing IT, They have all laid themselves open TO
retirement from the public service on the ground that
they hold the orderly administration of justice to he

THAT FIRST ELEVATOR

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondent 20. II. ID. in

In recalling the first passenger elevator
I'm New York. located in the old Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
He speaks OF it as revolving slowly
around a large wooden screw In the CEN
tire of the car" 1t makes one dizzy TO
think OF this. As matter OF fact the
car was propelled up and down the ele-
vator shaft slowly-yes. but not round
and round"-by the revolution Of large
steel screw inside sleeve or jacket in
the centre of the car. The movement was
smooth and ordinarily comfortable, and
the elevator served its purpose for many
wears. CELEBRATING TRUTH"

More Changes in the Tariff Bill.

The Democratic members Of the Senate Finance
Committee have made a few more beneficial
changes i'm the Underwood tariff bill. The date on
which the sugar schedule is to take effect has been
postponed until March |, 1914. and this is rea-
sonable concession those who will have to adjust
an industry in which large amounts Of capital are
invested 10 radically different conditions Of pro-
duction. Another sensible change is the postpone
ment Of the date on which the income tax pro-
visions shall take effect from January /. 1913, to
March l. 1913. The House of Representatives evil
Constitution was not proclaimed until February -,
1913 and that no tax Of the sort levied In the
Underwood bill could be collected legally before
that date.
There is no good reason why brandy used in for
tifying wines should be exempted from the ordi-
nary internal revenue tax Of 81 10 a gallon. The
wines would be better unfortiied far as the con-
sumner is concerned The committee restored the
81 10 duty and hopes To raise several millions Of
additional revenue thereby.
Nearly all the changes made in the measure
since il reached thcs Senate have been improve
ments The two striking exceptions to this rule
are the imposition of an unnecessary tax on
bananas and the return to the Dark Ages policy of
taxing paintings and sculptures as Injuries imported
only for the exclusive enjoyment Of the very rich.
