London, July 16.-General Huerta's
resignation is regarded as victory
for President Wilson's policy and is
welcomed by the British public and In
official circles here as a possible solu.
ton of the Mexican problem. A peace
ful end to the complex situation IL
greatly desired here on account Of the

ional president, surrenders to General
Carranza. as he expected to do. "it
may soon be possible to exact repara-
ton from General villa for the murder
at Juarez OF William S. Benton, the

The Evening Standard says:

THE elimination Of General Huerta
is triumph of sorts for President

Xoid-One Justice Dissents.

Chicago, Ja!y ls.-The Federal league
scored it's first big legal victory in its
war on organized baseball today when
the appellate court held the ten days
clause in the ball players contract null
and void.' The ruling was given in a
court action which reversed Il superior
court decision enjoining Pitcher George
M. Johnson, the Winnebago Indian.
from playing with the Kansas City Fed
erals The injunction issued by Judge
Foell in the superior court, and served
on Johnson while he was participating
in game here, was granted at the
request of the Cincinnati Nationals,
whose ranks Johnson left to join the
outlaw Federals.
Federal league officials here were
pleased with the decision and declared
it would result in the addition to their
playing corps of dozens of stars. AT
the same time. 1t is said. the ruling
gives ball players great leverage in
making demands from the clubs. The
decision from the appellate court was
signed by Justices Edward O. Brown
and Frank Baker. Justice William II.

The only cloud on the horizon of

about the attitude ofgGeneral Villa.
Information from reliable sources was
that he is concentrating his forces IN
Chihuahua and northern Mexico so as
to make vigorous demands on Carran-

Huerta and the refugees of his party
altho 1t was still generally believed
their special train and troop escort
were headed for Puerto Mexico.
General Funston at Vera Cruz in
dispatch to the war department today
made no mention Of Huerta's plans,
but expressed the belief that in conse-
ouence of the dictator's resignation
there wo1M be defections from his
troops on guard along the railroad and
that the deserters would come to Vera
