PAVE WAY To PEACE
IN TROUBLED MEXICO
Statements of Demands From

WILSON EXPRESSES PLEASURE
BY Associated Press

Washington, April 2S.-With the
swinging of the pendulum in the Mex
lean crisis-Huertas formal accept
ance of the good offices of the South
American iplomats-President VIII
son and his advisors to-day awaited
the setting of the stage on which rep
resentatives of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile hope to pave the way to peace.
Until the early hours to-day the en-
voys remained in conference COM
pleting preliminary plans or proposed
mediation Their next move, expect
ed to-day it was suggested would be a
request to the Washington and the
Huerta governments for statements OF
probable demands each would make.
preliminary to any attempt at 1ormai
mediation. The next step would de-
pend upon the nature of those replies.
Upon them probably would be based
til proposals intended for submission
to the Washington government and
Huerta Huerta's reply, conveyed
through his minister for foreign at
! fairs to Mr.. Riano, Spanish ambassa-
dor IN Washington, was received late
last night. Its tenor was expected be-
cause Mr.. Riano had received private
advices the night before that Huerta
can ENJOYS had been at work all day
on that assumption. The text of the
acceptance was not made public but
Huerta's minister was said to have
| thanked the South American ENJOYS
and the Spanish ambassador for their
good Offices and to have referred to
the real spirit of solderity between
| peoples of same race.
Quiet Along Border
To what lengths the good Offices"
of the South Americans might reach
was an absorbing topic in offclal
Washington and the entire diplomatic
corps to-day. Other features in the
situation largely were lost sight OF
except among army and navy. officials
charged with execution of preparations
for eventualties. Taut nerves and
the anxiety of the last few days were
relieved by news that Americans were
leaving danger zones in the southern
republic, while reports OF tranquility
along the border were encouraging.
! "Things look very much better now,'
Secretary Daniels said. We're get
ting Americans out of Mexico That's
the important thing now"
When the news of Huertas ac-
centance was taken to President Will
son. he declared hlmseH sreatly
pleased
White House officials let it be known
that no announcement of points to be
insisted upon in proposed mediation
would be made that might embarrass

Ilomatic circles expressions were heard

The conflicts between strikers and

A Very Nice Letter

To read the following letter one
might think it was written by one
of great consequence. Yet it was
sent us by a chunk of Sharp
county boy, who left home few
years ago and has evidently accu-
mulated a good case of the big head.
At least he has not accumulated
enough sense to be courteous. Here
is the letter, addressed to the editor
of this paper;

EXIT HUFRTA

Somehow the departure from the brght-lit
Mexican stage of Senior Victoriano Huerta cx-
minister OF war, ex-generalissmo, ex-prorision-
al presidents ez-tietator, brings a feeling of re
luctant regret The old Indians iron rule was
the only rule he knew He was brought up in
an atmosphere of brutal violence, where might
made right and presidents ruled like kings,
with their subjects underlined. What did
this grim-face1 descendant of the blanketed,
painted sayages know of the "new freedom" of
the rule Of the ballot, of the primary law, of the
universal voting franchise? The only initiative
he recognized was that of the bayonet and the
Gnly referendum that of the sabre and the car
bine Huerta lived up to his traditions in try
ing to reign in Mexico as Portirio Diaz had
reigned before him. And the spectacle of the
Stolid savage surrounded by enemies, by spies,
by plots, by cOnSpiracies; in peril of abduction,
in peril of assassination: almost fricndless
afraid to trust the guards outside his bedroom,
afraid to trust his ministers, his councillors his
generals-the spectacle Of this aged man stand
ing firm fer many months against all the sua-
sion of foreign Powers and all the threats of
Uncle Sam-well, it commands unwilling adj
miratien. OF course Huerta bad to 90 He is
a relic of barbarism: he is an anachronism. His
type of ruler is obsolete in America He must
make way for the kind of president who can

EDITOR
StNATOR ROOT RFIIRtS

Estimates of Senator EIihu Root have varied
remarkably. He has been alternately praised
to the skies Ms Of Americas greatest states
men and condemned to the neither depths Of con.
unry rs the abjrct servant Of the r"I~ror1-
tons.
The New York World. long ii bitter political
adversary Of Mr.. Root, in a recent editorial
gives this remarkable characterization Of his
career and powers. With the Worlds r"ncIu-
Siom-that public life can i'll spare this man Of
great taIcnt-thcrc will be little disagreement :
Had EIilru Root exercised better Judgment
in tn selection Of his clients he would have been
president of the United States. BY the tim" the
statesman had lived down the record of th" cor
poration lawyer it WIS too lar",
"Mr Root is today one of the two commando
ing intccctS in the public life Of the country,
the ether being Woodrow Wilson, He will he
remembered as Il great secretary Of war who re-
organized the United States army after the mill
tarv experts had muddlrd with it in vain. he
will be remembered also as n very competent
secretary of state. and in the United States sen
ATE he has upheld the highest traditions of that
body.
although his name is not identified in the
ton, Mr. Root is, generally recognized as the
ablest man in the senate His time and his tai
mt have been devoted exclusively to public
questions. He has not been patronage broker
or a manipulation Of billS'o a party whip, Few
senators have shown such consistent ndcpen-
dcncc, and he has debated no question without
shedding light on it.
"The World was vigorous opponent of Mr..
Roots election to the senate but it is pleased
TO testify that none of its miSgivings was ever
fcalizCd, and it sincerely regrets his dctcrmina-
ton not to be a candidate for reelection There
is nobody left in either party who can fill his
place ...>
1T has been said of many men that their re-
itipnent was a loss to the state and nation, but
in the case Of Senator Root it is a very real loss
and a loss for which there ares no cofApeRsa-
lions" HI.

DELAYING THE FEDERAL BUILDING

From the Hawaiian angle of view on the fed
pral building situation, it is dangerous td load
the bill down with such Il rider AZ thai Of the
amendment proposed 10y Former Governor
Frear the details Of which are told in the news
columns today.
Mr. Frcar appeared before the house commit
tee on public buildings oh June 10 proposing
an amendment which provides for the rciIn-
bursement Of the Mahuka site defendants for
their expenses of attorneys fees. etc.. during
the litigation of the last few years. III
The temper of the committee has been plainly
shown against the amcndment--not against JUS
tice for The lessecS and owners Of the Fort Street
property who were put to expense during the
condemnation suits-but against the prescnta-
ton of their bills To the committee on buildings
and ground. In the hearing on June 10 the
chairman of the committee twice stated that the
matter should come before the committee ON
appropriations, and that the buildings commit
tee has no jurisdiction. ....a
Businessmen of Honolulu may remain calm
and let the federal building bill 90 through
the lower house or kick up fuss about a few
Thousand dollars expense to which they have
been put and probably delay real action on the
building and site for another year.
The federal government is not going to beat
any just claimants out of their rights But the
public buildings committee quite evidently does
not intend to pass on what it considers ques-
ton for the appropriations committee.

Sir: wish if possible 70 correct
an altogether wrong Impression which
; would naturally lie conveyed to the
reading public in an article frcm your
special correspondent at IIilo of yes
terday's date dealing with series OF
suggestions which made to the board
/ OF supervisors al lilo recently for the
bettermcnt CT conditions at the Cocoa
nut Island bathing beach My suggrs-
items. were burlesQued by yo"r CORE
SpCndcnt.
As you are doubtless aware there
! have been during the past few weeks
drowning fatalities both in and around
the district OF HiIO, which prompted
my suggestions to the board Of super
FisOrS of endeavOring to awaken in
teTest in forming d life saving society
for the Islands OF Hawaii on simiat
, lines 70 that far reaching and useful
society, the Royal Humane Society Of
Great Britain.
With regard to the COCoanut Island
bathing beach suggested that a few
I regulations such as are existent at
many we'll known resorts and also a
suitable equipment he purchased for
use in first aid
/ still believe that if my suggestions
We're adopted in whole or in pait they
would prove extremely beneficial ia
the case of giving assistance to those
requiring it and would obviate the
possible loss Of valuable lives through
! the absence of proper equipment at
the right time.

which cannot tie treated as material
for comic illusions and regret that
