Mexico City, Oct. 16.-Huerta's ex-
PLANTATION Of why he had not replied
to President Wilson's note, according
to the dictators friends today, is that
he has not received the note officially.
A friend explained that Huerta ask
ed Charge dAffairs O'Shaughnessey
if he wanted the note officially ac-
cepted and answered and when
o O'Shaughnessey cabled to Washington
for instructions he was told not to
present the note officially.
Americans here believe, however.
that Huerta will respect the requests
contained in the note.
Huerta's friends today explained the
Imprisonment Of deputies by saying
that Huerta had evidence that the dep
uties were aiding the rebels by fur
nishing arms.
While O'Shaughnessey profeses to
expect no reply whatever to the Wash
ington memorandum and the foreign
office says there will be none for the
time being. it is still regarded as GER
tain that the nature of the American
governments notification regarding
future recognition will necessitate ac-
ton on the part of the Mexican au-
thorities,
1t is not expected that the elections,
which President Huerta appears to re-
gard as one of the cardinal principles

To many it would be no surprise
should Mexico return to a conciliatory
attitude. The impression, which is
gaining ground, that ether nations are
inclined to fall in line with the Wash
ington administration in the matter of
future policy toward Mexico, it is
argued, may tend to cause the Mexi-
can officials to seek. some ground upon

An UnpatriOtic Part

AS was expected, Henry Lane Will
son, former American ambassador to
Mexico, is doing all he can to em-
barrass the Washington government
in its efforts to deal justly with the
southern republic.
Much of President Wilson's trou-
bles in the present situation are due
to Henry Lane Wilson's course while
the latter was misrepresenting this
country as ambassador. After the as
sassination of the two Maderos and
Suarez, Henry Lane Wilson informed
the diplomatic representatives Of for
eign nations that the United States
intended to recognize the new regime.
In fact, the countries which extended
recognition to Huerta did so under
misapprehention, and that misappre-
hension was directly inspired by Hen
ry Lane Wilson.
The ex-ambassador delivered a
speech in Spokane night or so ago
in which he said: "The government Of
Provisional President Huerta of Mex
leo is just as legal as the government
of Roosevelt was when he succeeded
to the presidency following the assas-
sination of President Mckinley"
With all his unpatriotic partisan
ship, it is hoped Mr.. Wilson will ad-
nit this difference: Mr. Roosevelt had
nothing to do with the assassination
of Mr. Mckinley.

Powers. to Retire

Caleb Powers says he will not be a
candidate for reelection to Congress
from the Eleventh Kentucky district.
He says he is mot financially able to
stay longer in the game of politics
and play it as the times demand
Powers denies that he is resolved to
quit the House because he is ostra-
cised by his colleagues.
Caleb Powers was secretary of
state of Kentucky when William Goe-
bel was shot down. When arrested
Powers had in his pocket a pardon
signed by Governor Taylor, republi-
can. There seemed to be no doubt that
he brought to Frankfort the band of
mountain men, for the purpose of
overaweing the democrats and pre-
venting them from carrying out their
plans to unseat Taylor and put Goebel
in his place.
Despite his pardon, Powers was
tried and convicted of completely in
the murder of Goebel. He fought for
years against the verdict and finally
obtained his freedom. His home is at
Barbourville, in the mountains, and
when he made the race for Congress
he won with.the greatest ease.
