Statement of Huerta,
Made to Diplomats,
Is a Plea for Delay

Mexico City, Nov. President
HUerta's program, as announced to the
members of the diplomatic corps In a
statement formulated at last nights
meeting Of the cabinet, is another plea
for delay and forbearance.
defense Of the Huerta administration.
including the dissolution of Congress and
the Imprisonment of the deputies
1t is promised that the incoming con-
gress will set aside the recent election.
on the ground that the vote cast was
not representative.
In the meantime the present admin
istrauon will continue in ONCE, guar
anteeing safety to the interests of all
foreigners in the republic until a per-
manent government shall have been es-
tablished.
Notwithsta nding the report that Spe-
cial Envoy Lind had delivered an ulti-
matum demanding that Huerta should
resign within seventy-two hours. under
pain of immediate Intervention, the
statement declares that the relations
between the United States and Mexico
have improved greatly in the last
twenty-four hours
No confirmation was obtainable to-
day of the reported delivery OF an ulti-
matum. Neither Mr.. Lind nor Mr..
O'Shaughnessy would discuss the mat
ter.
The Huerta statement is believed to be
the final answer to the United States gov
ernment. and 1t Is believed to have been
decided upon Immediately after the ex-
tension Of credit from some mysterious
source, which made possible the pay
ment OF government employees ahead OF
time and which has resulted in the
banks putting a new supply of silver into
circulation, relieving the stringency
which a few days ago threatened to para
lyze business throughout the republic.
Reports OF continued fighting are COM
ing in from various sections. The Ger
man consul at Chihuahua reports that
the town has been under fire for forty
hours, but that the rebels, under Pancho
Villa, have been defeated in three en-
gagements

PROSPECTLOOMS
IDARkFOR BEILIsS
Conviction Forecasted by At
titude of Prosecution and
Wen-Informed Russians.
CASE TO JURY TODAY
People of Kieff Under Great Tension
and Many, Fearing
Riots, Flee.

Kieff, Russia, Nov. 9.-The fate of
Mendel Beiliss is still undecided, that
is, so far as a public verdict Is con-
cerned, and ii remains for the morrow
to prove whether those numerous we'll
informed persons here who said Beiliss
was convicted before the trial began
are correct. Certainly their statement
bears all the earmarks of the truth.
The confident manner assumed by the
counsel for the prosecution is ominous,
and perhaps the worst feature of all
Is the undisguised Joy shown by them
at the prospect of a conviction.
All Kieff went to bed early tonight.
but there was little sleep. Never be-
fore has this city, been at such a ten
sion. Many of the residents say that
the assassination of Premier Stolypin,
four years ago. did not cause the ex-
citement which now pervades the city:
The whole city is divided into two fac
tons, pro- -Beiliss and anti-BeiliSs.
Many of the Christians have left the
city in anticipation of riots following the
verdict But these refugees are as moth
ing to the horde of Jews who have fed
from Kieff and surrounding towns.
Bellies Makes Plea.
What looks suspiciously like confirma-
ton of the report that Beliss has been
foredoomed, was the announcement pub
lished broadcast today that the head of
the Greek church would hold memorial
services in the Kieff Cathedral tomor-
row ito pay final homage to the memory
of the Yushinsky boy, who was cruelty
murdered by the dirty Jews" The an
nouncement calls upon all real Rus
slams to be present.
The question of whether the case
would be given to the jury tonight or
tomorrow morning was not decided until
almost the last minute of today's hear
ing. Beiliss made a pathetic appeal TO the
president of the court for freedom and
after listening TO this the president de-
clared the court adjourned until 10 o clock
tomorrow morning.
Counsel for the defense gained a ma
terial advantage this morning when they
succeeded in forcing the court to allow
them to address the jury the second time,
following the final address by the coun-
Sci for the prosecution.
After the attorneys had concluded, the
president looked at Beiliss and said:
'All of the evidence is in and the last
word is given TO you. What can you say
in your own behalf?"
Beiliss half walked, half limped TO a
corner of the dock nearest the president,
and supporting himself by clinginE to
the rail of the dock with one hand, while
he placed the other over his heart
In a pathetic-Toice, almost drowned by
sobs, he said:
Judges and jury: l am So weak and
exhausted that 1 can hardly stand. I
swear l am innocent, and l implorc you
to acquit me. Let me return to my poor,
unfortunate children, who are waiting
for me-"

The lad turned away then. And he
saw a sight that made him glad.
"Tom," said he, II see boat. Maybe

out across the bay toward the open

with money because it was fever

A T roncall the following morning Captain Pollard
stepped to the First Sergeant side and whispered
few words. The officer nodded, and the Captain
turned to his doubled line of men.
"Fix bayonets" he commanded.

was no defiance mingled with it. 1t but the simple
statement of fact Said Corporal McIain II cannot

Captain Pollard caught the V-shaped arm chevrons

INSTEAD of going to breakfast, Stowel ambed slowly
down to the bay shore where he walked to and fro

guessed something of the real of the thing that
worried him; perhaps he didn't. Suddenly there

see the drawn features "You must be a man, Kid"
he said though his own face drawn and his voice
trembled strangely; "you must be man and not let
your sympathies get away with you like this" More
than likely he suspected that Stowel knew something
