And Contends That He Has No
Legal Right to Accede to
Wilson's Demand.
JOHN LIND GOES BACK
10 the City Of Mexico to Gull
inmate Negotiations with
That Country.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. provisional
President Huerta's formal negative
reply to the United States demands,
which was discussed in detail at last
nights cabinet meeting. will set forth
that the United States has no right.
legal or otherwise, to demand General
Hlerta's elimination. This statement
was given out today from one of the
departments Of the Mexican govern
fiient.
The reply, 1t is said, will also point
out that Hnerta has no legal right to
accede to the demands. The infor-
nation says 1t was decided to incor-
porate in the reply a declaration that
General Huerta intends to increase the
Mexican army to 100000 men.
The final stages OF the negotiations
between Mexico and the United States
are TO be participated in personally at
short range by John Lind The series
Of delays in Provisional President
Hhefta's formal answer to the United
States and the lack of definite action
Which would indicate his attitude in
face OF the demands made have been
annoying to Lind 1t was known that
negotiations had been conducted il
an indirect manner, not following the
ordinary diplomatic course and Mr..
Llnd's sudden appearance in the fed
efal capital is assumed to be due to
his desire TO bring things quickly to
n clearly defined point.

RE-, TRACTIONS ARE MADE
TO GOVERN OR EIA TFIELD
WERS 10 HELP
ENFORCE z He la w
BY Making Contributions of
Money in Hope ofAmend-
ment's Early Repeal.

+
West Virginia brewers will make no
attempt to fight the enforcement Of
the prohibition amendment when ii
goes into effect July / of next year.
On the other hand not few of them
lend their strongest efforts toward as
slsting in carrying It into effect.
9. f. Rathbone, of Parkersburg
field deputy on the star of State Tax
Commissioner Fred o. Blue, expressed
an opinion to that effect during the
course of discussion OF the amend-
ment at the Waldo hotel today.
IL seems to be the opinion, he
said, that through strict enforce
ment of the prohibition law lies the
only means OF starting reactionary
wave OF sentiment through which the
amendment might be repealed. Act
ing on that assumption | understand
That several of the biggest brewers
in the state will contribute to a fund
intended to assist in the strictest en-
forcement of the law.
However, do not think outside
help will be needed. Even should this
county authorities fall to maintain
the provisions of the measures as they
are written, the state tax commission
Will see to 1t that relentless war Is
waged on any attempt at Illicit traffic.
Commissioners Blue is very pronounced
in his views on what methods must be
adopted. stand that is conceded in
by every man in the department. Fur
thermore, we have the most stringent
law Of tbs kind evsr passed. There

never has anywhere else"
How about the possibilities Of a
contest on the constitltionality of the
amendment" he was asked.
There viii be none." was his reply.
IAN this talk of carrying the fight to
the supreme court Is chimney talk.
The only grounds 1t could be based on
would he that under the constitution
an amendment could not BE POSTPONED
in tasing effect but must go into force
Immediately upon Its adoption. That,
however. would not effect the amend
ment. The only decision the supreme
could could return. and on this we are
advised by some of the greatest law
years in the state, is that the liquor
business has been flourishing Illegal
ly ever since the amendment was
adopted, but in no wise would the
future effect of the measure be de-
tracted from. 1t would be Just as
much law then as it was when

Second, a steel bridge of the gen
