Mexico City, Aug. Personal
friends of President Iuerta and mill
tary men who appear to enjoy his con-
idence vigorously assert that he will
not consider resigning or any compro-
mise with the rebels. They say they
would regard as gratuitous the send

United States with the announcement
that he is intended ultimately to be
ambassador but whose primary mis-
sion is to act as mediator. They in.

most practical means TO this end
would be the recognition of the Huer-

sented by the government, was the
comment of one man high in official
life. He added that mediation from

AS simply a personal representative
OF President Wilson, this man claimed,
Mr.. Lind might come to Mexico, but

policies of the country he must be ig.

A large number of Mexicans and
Americans believe that recognition OF
President Huerta at the present time
would not result in materially

such action would at least give Huer

by actual supplies of corn, wheat and
cotton.
Postponement Is Urged.
Friends of the currency measure
here urged that this proposed legisla-
tion be considered later and not as a
part of the general surrency reform
plan.
President Wilson talked currency to
number of his callers and made
il plain that he intends to stick to
his determination to have a bill
passed at the extra session.
Senator James told the president
that the Democrats would put the
bill through. Senator Hughes took a
similar view. Senator Owen, chair
man of the banking committee. point
ed out that in his poll of the senate

so LETTERS AID
HIS CANDIDACY?
Understood That MayOr-EIeCt
GayIor is Being StrenuouSIy
Urged to Reconsider His APP
pOintment of City Attorney.

Mayor-elect Ralph w. Gaylor is
bordering very seriously these days
over the biblical legend of the five
loaves and two fishes and wondering
how he is going to duplicate the feat
in MiShawaka. When he assumes
office in January the new executive is
going to find a great many hungry
Office-seekers and it will be no small
diplomatic job TO appease the ever
large army of the disappointed.
The mayor-elect is standing firm,
however, in the face of it all. He has
not as yet departed on any excursions
to nearby cities in order to find out
how to govern Mishawaka, but seems
willing to handle the job from the in
side.
The new executive has given out
no news as to who he will invite to
share the spoils of the recent cleo
ton. although public opinion has cen
tered several of the offices on some of
the most prominent independent
workers and it seems only probable
that these will land.
That il will be no walk-away even
for those who seemed sure of appoint
ment was shown by the rumor on the
streets Saturday in regard TO the city
attorneyship. 1t seemed that the
plans for giving this office to the
chairman of the recent campaign
were all cut and dried, but recent
events are said to have changed mat
tiers some. 1t is understood that the
mayor-elect received something in the
neighborhood of a half hundred let
ters during the past week asking that
he reconsider the appointment Of the
city attorney. 1t is understood that
all of the letters are urging the can
didacy of the attorney who was de-
feated for the Independent nomina-
ton for city judge. According to the
information that could be learned
from those who seemed to know of
the writing of the letters the major
ity of them come from men prOmi-
nent in the Independent organization,
most of whom are employed in Mish-
awaka's big independent" factory.
What effect these letters will have
on Gaylor ii cannot now be known.
They must carry great weight, how
ever One of Mishawaka's large
manufacturing institutions has long
played the political game in Misha-
waka. 1t takes defeat very hard and
usually is willing to spend quite a
good deal of money to gain the vic
tory That ii was a great help to
the independents in the recent cam
paign is we'll known and if this fac
tory gets behind supposed goat" in
the city attorneyship race-well, the
city chairman will probably be side
tracked.
Christmas is but &c days away and
the presents will have to be distribut-
ed by this time, so the dopesters must
mingle patience with their curiosity
yet a little while. The history of
politics. however. shows that these
seers of the future seldom wander far
from the right, hence their opinions
are being taken seriously by great
many interested citizens.

PLAY HERE SUNDAY
The Regulars viii Meet Either
the HuebnerS or the Fl.
Wayne FriarS-Many Play
erS Injured.

Not mindful of the many hard
fought battles they have played in the
last few weeks. the members of the
Regulars football team are working
faithfully for a game to be played here
Sunday afternoon on the north side
gridiron. 1t has not been decided yet
as to who they will meet, but it is
hoped that the Huebners can be in
duced TO play the third game of the
series, Of which two have been played
and both games have ended in a score
less tie. There are many players Of
both teams that are on the hospital
list, but is is expected that all will be
able to get into the game on Sunday,
when the referee blows his whistle.
In the event that the Huebners do
not play. the Ft. Wayne Friars will
give the locals a return game a chance
are one of the strongest teams Of this
section of the state. While the locals
lost their game TO the FIT. Wayne boys
they are undaunted and expect to give
them hard fight, even though they
may be unable 10 down them. The
two teams play about the same kind
of game and neither team much ad-
vantage in weight.
The fan that is a witness OF this
game viii admit that the Friars are
great eXponants Of the forward pass,
and that the game that they will pre-
sent is on par of that played by any
OF the larger colleges of the country.

.INTERURBAA INDOOR
LEAGUE IS PLANNE

Indoor baseball fans OF this section
of the state are contemplating the for
nation OF an Indoor league. 1t is pro-
posed to gather teams in all of the
nearby cities IN this vicinity for the
purpose Of what viii be known as an
Interurban league.
The contemplated leasao will be on
the order Of the ore in which this
city was represented several years ago
when Mishawaka won the pennant
and had probably the best indoor,
baseball team in this part of the state.
There Is an abundance OF good ma
terial in the city at the present time
and those behind the movement are
confident that they can gather an ag-
gregation the peer OF that Of several
years ago.
Those chiefly instrumental IN the
formation OF the league from this city
are the members Of the local lodge OF
Moose. The present plans are that the
Moose will organize the team that viii
represent Mishawaka in the league.
This is probably the best ARRANGEMENT
that could be made as this club has
an ideal place at which this sport can
be played. The gymnasium at the To-
cal club rooms will afford ample prac-
tice and viii greatly serve to keep the
team in condition and fighting trim,
absolute necessity for a winning team.
Among the cities who it is believed
viii enter teams II the league is form
ed are Elkhart, Goshen. Niles, La
porte. Michigan City, Gary and posi-
bly, others. OF course the plans for
the organization are as yet in their
infancy but ii Is expected that the next
several weeks will witness quite rapid
strides taken in the way Of forming the
sSOciatiOn.
