F1UERTA STIRS UP
IRE OF OFFICIALS
State Department Chiefs Resent Sheer in Offer to Americans
of Free FirstcIass Transportation in Leaving Mexico
Envoy Coming From Southern Republic.

|, Last night MIR. Hale saw Secretary
Bryan for the second time.
Digs At Administration.
If the optimism of the Administra-
ton here is justified and Huerta really
considers himself pledged to obey the
mandate OF Washington that he shall
not become a candidate in the October
elections, he Is not hauling down his
colors without occasional back-handed
digs at the Wilson Administration.
Officials of the State Department are
inclined to gnaw their knuckles this
morning and foreign diplomats are dis
posed to smile discreetly at Huerta' $
latest sally. namely his grandiloquent
offer to provide first-class transporta-
ton to American refugees who have
been complaining over the fact that
the United States Government Is offer
ing them only steerage accommoda-
tions. The dig has lost none of its
penetrating qualities because of the
oft-repeated reports reaching WASH
ington that Huerta's purse is extremely
lean.
Exactly where the next move in the
diplomatic game will develop is ap-
parcntly a matter OF no great con-
Germ in Administration circles. Mr..
Lind, II is known on highest authority.
will remain in Mexico indefinitely. Why.
is not made clear.
|. Lind Is Resting.
Apparently President Wilson is Of
the opinion that all remaining is for
President Huerta to make good his
assurances that he will not be can
didate and will see to II that legal and
orderly elections are held next month
II Mr.. Lind has any other functions to
perform. he is evidently resting from
his labors temporarily. At all events
he is not following up his proposal
TO the Mexican government, which, If
accepted, would have obligated this
country in return for an acceptance Of
its other proposals. to guarantee loans
to Huerta by American bankers for
the purpose Of restoring order.

DECLARES TEXAS
COULD WHIP MEXICO
Congressman Garrett Says
Boys There Could Settle
Turbulent Country Alone.

Take the bride off the boys in Texas
and they can attend to Mexico any time
that it is needed 10 be done" is the
contribution of Congressman Garrett. of
Texas, to the discussion of the Mexican
question in the House. Mr.. Garrett said
he was opposed to war. and approved
the Presidents policy of non-lnterven-
ton and non-recognit,on OF Huerta,
but he didn't doubt the ability of "the
boys in the Lone Star State to handle
, the situation by themselves IL 1t became
necessary.
Mr.. Garrett's speech was an after
math of Alfalfa BIZ Murray's criti-
cisms of the Administrations course
earlier in the day Mr.. Murray man.
aged to get in two speeches on the Mex
lean situation in the House yesterday
afternoon. His first speech demanded
Intervention. Just before the House ad-
journed last night he urged the lifting
of the neutrality laws. saying that the
rebels should be on an equal footing
with the Federals. The embargo against
the shipment OF arms across the border,
he contended. inconvenienced the reb-
els. because Huerta Is In possession of
the ports and may obtain arms else
where, while the rebels must depend
upon across-border shipments.
Mr.. Garrett also suggested the Con-
stitutionalsts as well as the Federals
should be allowed to have arms. Re-
spending to the suggestion of Congress
man Austin, Of Tennessee, that the
Americans in Mexico have a right to
be there and to have their property
protected, the Texas member said:
Il do not mean to say that there are
not American citizers s in Mexico that
are Just as honorable and honest as
any man now residing in our home
country. But II gentlemen believe for
one moment that there are not now
people in Mexico who have acquired
the property they claim to hold by un-
fair means. and. much of It, In my
opinion, by graft In connection with the
administration that has passed-which
Madero overthrew-they are not IA
miliar with the current history of that
people.
so far as Texas is concerned We do
not want any trouble with Mexico. We
had that seventy-five years ago. and
We whipped them to a frazzle; and II
there is any war talk going to come
here, all you have to do Is to take the
bride of the boys in Texas, and they
can attend to Mexico any time that II
Is needed to be done.
But Texas is opposed to war. Texas
is In favor of peace. But We members
from Texas know something about
Mexican history. Not only let the neu-
trality laws prevail, but I would go
further and say give to those poor.
struggling Mexicans who are trying to
establish constitutional government the
right to buy arms and ammunition on
equal terms with the federals, and let
them have. IL they can get 1t, the kind
of government that they rightly de-
serve. and let them have for themselves

BY w. w. Naughton.

x AN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-That
boxing is regarded as a staple
sport in Australia is evinced by
the fact that u conference of sport
ing authorities was held in the city
of Sydney for the purpose of framing
rules beneficial to the game.
A certain degree of eClat was lent
to the occasion by the presence Of
II. d. Morton, speaker of the legisla
tive assembly, who opened the pro-
Ceedings and then vacated the chair
in favor of IL. y. Braddon.
Everything pertaining to glove
fighting was thrashed out thoroughly,
and many of the evils of the pastime,
as Australians saw them, were rec
titled when the conference got down
to framing rules. AS many of the
new regulations will be of interest to
American pugilists who intend trying
their luck in Australia, a digest Of the
work of the conference may not be
out of place.
The new scale of weights runs as
follows:
Bantam, 11S pounds; feather. 1876;
lightweight, 1876; welterweight, lat;
middleweight 100, midheavy, 175;
heavyweight, any weight, which pre-
sumably means any weight above l75.
In all contests in Australia weight
must be made at the ringside. and it
is explained that this means within
one hour of the advertised beginning
Of the contest
This is an entirely new construction
of ringside weighing by the way and
it will burn more quickly into the in
telligenCe of American ring men when
II is told to them that they must
weigh "one hour before"
SiN-Ounce Glove Chosen,
Here is an interesting rule framed
by the conference:
The Australian championships shall
be contests boxed in Australia, and
where a boxer from another country
having a twelve months residential
qualification defeats an Australian in
an Australian championship he shall
only be the holder of the champion
ship while resident in the country,
and on his departure the champion
shin shall revert to the previous
holder"
This may or may not have been

Australia Has New Fight Rules
Scale of Weights Are Changed

worded thuswise at the suggestion
of the Land Settlement League of
Australia, but anyhow it is explicit.
You can't bring Australian champion
ships away as souvenirs.
In many other respects the new
rules follow the lines Of the old
Queensberry regulations, the latter
being extended and amplified to suit
Australian requirements.
The five-ounce glove of pugilistic
commerce is discarded for the six
ounce mitten, and the number of sec
onds in a mans corner is limited to
four These henChmen are forbidden
to coach assist in any manner ad-
vise their principal during the rounds
or enter the ring during the progress
of a contest. BY offending against
these rules they will cause disquaH-
fication of their principal by the
referee"
Contestants are warned against hit
ting in ClinChes, and a clinCh is de-
fined as a condition which, exists
when both men are holding with
one or both hands,
Knockout Is Defined.
Infighting Is tabooed and it is left
to the referee to determine what con-
stttutes indghting. Such being the
case. it will be as well for boxers
about to engage in match to inter
view the referee before tearing loose.
Here is how a knockout is defined:
"A knockout shall be counted (a)
when a contestant is knocked down
and is not on his feet ready to resume
boxing in ten seconds from the time
he is knocked down, (b) when a con-
testants towel Is thrown in while ne
is taking the count, Co should a con-
test be stopped by the referee or any
official owing to a contestant not be-
ing in fit condition to continue as
result of punishment he has received"
There was quite an argument as to
whether the referee should hold court
in the ring or outside of It. Finally,
by a small majority, 1t was decided
that the referees place is where the
blows are flying thickest, and that 1t
is wrong to have him propped up on
bench like a British justice of the
peace.
II would be as well for American
pugiists afflicted with the wanderlust
to study these rules, for the excuse
II didn't know" does not hold in Aus
tralia.
