WON'T RESIGN
SAYS HUERTA
"HelI viii Hold Both Wilson
and Myself Before | Get
Out" Declares Mexican
PreSident-Can Get Money.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The New
York World today published the fol-
lowing special dispatch from Mexico
City:
Hell will hold both Woodrow Will
son and myself before l resign" said
Dictator Huerta Thursday to an
American visitor who called at the
national palace.
The time has gone past when
will give the slightest consideration
TO any proposition that 1 leave the
presidency. once I might have re-
signed at the bidding of almost any
one, but now no.
1T is not a question Of pride. am
bition or pomp with me, but duty
nothing else.
What does Woodrow Wilson know

ernment its people need? Nothing.
lie does not understand that Mexico
Is like a snake, with its life in its
head. And they will have TO batter
this old head of my shoulders before
they kin mo ar my government
They say have no more money.
They do not know what they are
talking about. 1t shows how ignorant
are people who make such state
-nents as 10 the resources OF Mexico.
DO you know how many hacien~
das, not ranches, but haciendas, there
are in this country Seventy thous-
and OF them and all great haciendas,
most of which are untaxed. Each is
capable of being taxed at least 5000
pesOs-$2,5OO. That makes $50. .O0O.-
600 pesos or S175,00O,0OO I can put
my hands on when L want to.
MY government is far from bank
ruptcy no matter whether the foreign
bankers choose to let me have money
or whether they refuse. 1t makes no
difference 20 me-"
Huerta Encouraged.
The government is greatly encour-
aged by the defeat of the cOnstitu-
tiOnalist army at Ojinaga and the
failure of Zapatista's TO rally their
forces after several federal victories
in the south.
AS the first step in the general cam
paign to stamp out the revolution.
there began Thursday the rapid
movement OF 5000 troops TO Torreon.
The federal commander has been or
dered TO send all the troops he can
spare 20 Torreon, where Gen. Velasco
and his government troops are bot
tied up.
The government plans to make
Torreon it's base for a campaign

the vicinity OF La Mula pass, indicat
ing that a battle was on there be-
tween federals sent TO stop Gen. Villa

The federal commanders in Ojin-
aga claimed that government troops
had seized the heights along the pass
and that the rebels had been caught
in trap.

CARRANZA IS TO
Fight TO GATES
OF The CAPITAL
NO YIELDING BY CARBAJAL
Situation in Mexico Does
Not Improve

Mexico City, Aug. S.-(special.) -
The days developments in the capital
resulted in triumph for the war
party. All hope for peace between
the federals and the constitutionalists
now is apparently gone. The war
party is in control and is being back
ed up by Provisional President Car
bajal. Unless concessions are made.
Gen. Carranza, it seems, must fight
his way into the capital and to power.
Gen. Medina Barron was appointed
commander-in-chief of the federal
forces in the capital today.
I'VE have 25,OOO men, sixty-fve field
pieces, 100 machine guns and plenty
of ammunition" said a prominent
army official today, "and are prepar-
eG TO resist to the end unless am
pie guarantees are given us. If we
must fight, it will be one of the great
est battles of the revolution. Every
officer in the federal army is prepared
to die in defense of the capital"
If battle is fought, it is believed
it will be on the plains in the vicin-
ity of Tlalepantla, eight miles north
of the capital The federal advance
guard of 1000 men is facing the con-
stitutionalists at Teoloyucan, fifteen
miles north of Tlalepantla.
Factories here are turning out six
ty thousand cartridges daily. In ad-
dition there are 1000 stands of new
japanese rifles and three thousand
Spanish rifles in the Ciudadela armory
and also the arms brought to Mex
leo recently by the steamer Ypiranga.
Ell Son, recognized organ in Mexi-
leo City, of Gen. Venustiana Carranza,
today published a proclamation CALI
ing upon all the inhabitants of the
city to meet in front of the statue of
Columbus in the Pareo de la Reforma

bajal government.

BEGIN
PICKING COTTON
ABOUT AMERICUS
RECEIPTS TO INCREASE NOW
Better Prospect For Market.
ing Local Crop

With the assurance that cotton is
still king, and that, despite the wal
situation, there will be a demand for
the staple at satisfactory price soon
er or later, farmers here will begin in
earnest this week to pick their first
open bolls which, already, are whiten-
ing the fields. There will be no rush
to market the bales Just now, only
just enough of it to meet current ex-
jenses and to pay up pressing obliga-
tions.
Americus warehouses have only a
total of fifty bales new cotton, but as
there has been neither marker or de-
mand for it since the European dogs
or war were unleashed, these bales
are still here, unsold, except the first
few, which brought premium prices.
One warehouseman stated yesterday
that Representatives of Georgia mill
would be here this week to secure i'm
mediately supplies of spot cotton for
consumption, and there is good reason
to believe that many Southern and
Eastern. mills will be in the market
shortly upon a like mission In fact,
the greater portion of the August re-
ceipts might be sold to mills in nearby
Georgia cities and at satisfactory
prices.
With the exchanges still closed there
is no market upon which values may
be predicated. Good cotton, however,
should bring 10 cents to 10 IL cents
here without difficulty.
One thing the farmers must empha-
size, and that is absolute care in the
picking and ginning of their cotton.
Buyers are going to take only the bet
ter grades, and cotton that is damaged
from having been picked and ginned
while wet will be unstable under ex-
listing conditions. There will be no de-
mand for it anywhere, and farmers
who negligently handle it in such state
may as well let it remain at home.

terest, bankers, warehousemen, farm
ers and merchants exercising economy
and industry, and, above all, faith.
OF course, to get these advances
it will be necessary to have the cot
ton in store, against which a different
kind of receipt from that now given
vii. have to be issued to make it ne
gotiable. This is part of the plan to
be worked out and, with that satisfac-
torily done, the farmer can pay what
he owes and the banker on the same
collateral can satisfactorily arrange
his indebtedness until the worlds mar
kets are again open.
The farmer can depend absolutely
on the utmost consideration of the
banker and the warehouseman, be-
cause all three interests are interde-
pendent.
A few bales will have to be sold, pos
sibly, at rather low price in order
to get money for the gathering, but it
is confidently believed that all of the
crop over and above that can be sod
for fair price, and the warehousemeR
present at the meeting agreed that
there should be no extra charges for
storage for at least three months.
