SAYS HUERTA WILL RESIGN
LIND ADVISES PRESIDENT Will.
SON OF RUMOR.
United States Will Soon Be Called
Upon to Negotiate With a New
President in Mexico.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-John Lind.
President Wilson's personal represen.
tative in Mexico. has reported from
Vera Cruz indications of General
liuerta's intention to resign the pro.
vislonal presidency.
Mr.. Lind has advised the Presiden
that If the information that has CONF
to him is reliable the United States
may be called upon indirectly to indi-
cate whether it will recognize or open
negotiations with Huertas successor.
Apparently various names are being
suggested and their acceptability to
the American government, it ii
thought, might influence the final
choice.
From Mr. Lind's report, there arose
rumors of fresh negotiations with the
Huerta government by the United
States, but at the White House and
state department it was declared COM
munication had not been resumed.
Speeches in congress and other sug.
gestions for an armed protectorate
over Mexico in conjunction with other
nations were met by high administra.
ton officials with the declaration that
such an act would impair the soy
ereignty OF Mexico.
1t is declared by those who konw
President Wilson's attitude on these
questions that no matter what emer-
sency may arise, even though drastic
measures are eventually required to
compose the situation in Mexico, UNI.
Ter no circumstances will the present
at Washington inter
ere in any way with the sovereign |
n the territorial rights of Mexico.

DOORS OPENED TO
MRS. PANKHuRs;I'
Order of Deportation Revoked
BY immigration Head.
AFTER VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE
President Wilson Agreed to Plan
When Militant Suffragist Prom
Used to Depart at the End Of
Her Engagement.

Washington, Oct. 21.-America'
doors were opened to Mrs. Emmelin'
Pankhurst and during the few weeks
| covered by her lecture engagement
the British militant suffragist leader
is free to 60 where she will in thu
United States.
An order releasing the much dis
cussed visitor from detention at ELLIS
Island. N Y, and revoking the depor
tation order of the special inquiry
board. was issued after President vii
son had conferred with Secretary viii.
son of the Department of Labor, and a
formal hearing before immigration
Commissioner Caminetti, on Mrs.
Pankhurst's appeal had been con-
cluded.
Secretary Wilson announced that he
and the President had agreed that Mrs.
Pankhurst should be admitted ION her
own recognizance" with the under
standing that she would depart when
she had fulfilled her lecture engage
ments. Both the President and the
secretary agreed with Commissioner
Caminetti in the opinion that there
was an element of doubt as to whether
the acts for which Mrs. Pankhurst had
been convicted in England constituted
moral turpitude" or were political in
character.
Commissioner Caminetti issued a
formal statement outlining the reasons
for his decision in the case.
There is nothing in the record, or
before me-" the statement reads, ito
Indicate that the British government
desires that Mrs. Pankhurst shall be
returned to England and the evidence
IN record indicates that while she was
placed under sentence of three years
)enal servitude, she has served only
small part of the sentence, and APP
no effort has been made to
compel her to serve the balance; blu,

hat she is coming here only for a
hort visit for the specific purpose of |
engagements to deliver lee
nres; that all that is desired is that
he may be allowed to carry out these

Upon carefully considering the ELI
re record and all of the circun1-
.ances of the case, I conclude that the
est disposition to make of the matter
ill be to accept the assurances of all
arties concerned and admit Mrs

CONFESSION FALSE,
FARRELL DECLARES
~-~-~--- r."
SAYS POLICE MADE HIM SAX
HE SENT THREE BOMBS
BY MAIL.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--John Paul
Farrell, blinking through a steel bar
red gate In the Tombs at reporters
who visited him tonight, repudiated
every word of Tuesdays confession
that he made. the bombs which kill
ed Grace Walker and. Madame Her
rera and imperilied Judge Rosalsky.
He said the confession resulted from
"a hours of police "bulldozing' and
threats that if he refused to say what
the police wanted a case would be
made out anyway and he would die
in the electric chair.
His narrative OF recantation in the
Tombs began with "As God Almighty
tn my Judge I didn't do these crimes :"
1t ended mournfuliy with the OBJ
ssrvation. They've got me down as
d bug, and maybe / am one. He in
sisted that he never knew how a
bomb was made until the police show
ed him on Tuesday.
The police laughed at this new
turn In the case and pointed out that
attempted confusion by reputation of
confession and charges of coercion is
an ancient trick of criminals
Farrell disciaimed any criminal re-
cord in this eity~bat- admitted that
he had served several terms in New
Jersey prisons when he was known
as John MeDermot, John Mcdonald,
or Sailor Jack,
Captain Samuel Price of the Bronx
says he has evidence which he can't
disclose which will prove that Far
reli's original confession as to the
Herrera bomb was true. In the Grace
Walker case, Edna Lamare, the girl
who lived with Mrs. Walker. told
the police when they found her late
on Tuesday night that as far as she
knew Farrell and Grace Walker did
not know each other.

VERSES JUDGMENT OF LOWER
TRIBUNAL.
FIVE POINTS INVOLVED
FATAL INJURIES Of WEST vIR-
GINA MAN NOT DUE TO BURNS
FROM. FIRE IN HOME,
m RULES.

Although the burning of building
may result from an explosion of gaso-
line In the building, 1t cannot be said
that one burned solely by such an
explosion has been injured in con-
sequence of the subsequent burning of
the building. Such In substance is
the opinion Of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals which handed
down an opinion yesterday,
The opinion reverses the Judgment
of the District court at Charleston,
w. Va, In a suit In which Mrs. Hilda
Norvell Edgar was awarded $1,000
s,ft what is known In insurance par
lance as q double indemnity accident
policy. carried by her husband, J.
p. Edgar. who was fatally burned in
the home OF his mother-in-law In
Charleston In 1909.
The basement OF the house being
flooded, Edgar went down to invests
gate. Striking. match, he dropped
Ii on the water. thus igniting some
gasoline on the surface. In the ex-
plosion which followed, he was burn
ed so severely that he died day or
two later.
According to the terms of the policy
which protected the assured to the
extent of $4,000 under ordinary cir
cumstances, double this amount was
" ~ P"sA - A1aluAkSs WSlo sn@aa.taSo
in consequence OF a burning building
in which he happened to be at the
time.
1t is true that the house caught
fire from the explosion of the gaso-
line. and was seriously damaged. but
II was the contention of the Mary
land Casualty company, defendent in
the action, that the burns sustained
by Edgar were primarily the result of
the explosion, inasmuch as he made
his exit from the basement practi-
ignited.
In other words, the question mar
rowed itself down to the poin whether
gasoline was a part of the building.
Beyond all cavii." said the appeal
court discussing this phase of the
case, gasoline was not a part of the
building" aes

state corporations and Philippine in

iatlon at the special session bearing
on corporations or the Philippines.

have made the statement recently that
he win not ask congress to pass a
law at the special session granting
Philippine independence as authoriz-
ed in the pending Jones bill

tween President Wilson and the con-
gress leaders over the legislative pro-
gram. 1t has been assured that the
