NO REPLY TO HuERTA NOTE
Washington VIII Not Answer Dicta-
tors Suggestion.

Washington, March 9.-State de-
partment officials have decided that
there will be no answer made to the
note recently presented by the Huer-
ia government suggesting that on ac-
count of the Benton incident the
United States should revoke the right
il had extended to the Constitutional
lists to purchase arms I'm this country.
The United States government is
biding its time while the commission
appointed by the Constitutionalists to
investigate the execution of Benton
and the disappearance OF Gustav
Bauch makes a report. The general
subject of protection for American
citizens and foreigners in Mexico will
be the occasion of spirited debate in
the senate shortly.
Senator Shiyeley. ranking member
of the foreign relations committee,
has been in close touch with the state
department gathering data on the
actual number of foreigners killed or
injured as recorded by American con-
suls throughout the Southern repub-
lic He will uphold the administra-
tions policy in the debate, Senator
Fall of New Mexico having announced
his intention of advocating a change

Record Point.

Washington, March 9.-Food prices

est level in twenty-four years Nov. Is,
1913. Since that date there has been
a slight decline in prices, though the
average still is well above that OF a

The department of labor made pub

of the principal articles of food as
observed by the governments agents
in forty of the most important indus

Throughout the whole of 1913 high
prices prevailed" the report said
while the last quarter of the year
was a period of decline in the prices
of twelve of the fifteen articles OF
food. 1t further points out that the
decline was more than counter
balanced by an advance in the price
of eggs to level never before reach

Senator's Favor Occupation
of Northern Mexico.
DEADLOCK NOW EXISTS
Huerta Cannot Regain Control OF
Rebel Territory and Carranza Has
Little Chance of Success in Propos-
ed Attack on Mexico City.

Washington, March 9.-Senators
familiar with the foreign affairs of
the United States advanced the opin.
ion that the ultimate destination of
the present Mexican policy is inter.
vention- Beheylng ii is inevitable
they are in favor of Intervention in
the northern states of Mexico
They say this will not be war on
Mexico, that President Huerta will be
helpless before restoration of peace
in the northern states, and that upon
the successful conclusion of such in,
teryention by the United States the
administration will be in a position
to demand the retirement of Huerta
at once, with some hope of success
In view of the policy of President
Wilson the above outline of plans In
the minds of conservative senators
sounds like bombast
The fact is. this suggestion is seri
ously entertained in the minds OF
many conservative statesmen and 1,
has been discussed in the executive
sessions of the senate.
There is strong reason to believe
the president foresees that, unless
something unexpected turns up In the
next few weeks or months, interven
tion will be difficult to avoid.
Deadlock in Mexico.
To senators of long experience ir
foreign affairs the situation appear:
to be a deadlock. Disinterested citi
zens of Mexico say that should the
Constitutionalist army attempt tC
march to Mexico City the southern
provinces of Mexico City will rise anC
repel them. Huerta has been driver
out of the northern provinces, and t.
all appearances both sides have abou
reached the end of their geographic
rope.
While Huerta is maintaining ;
semblance of order in Southern Mex
leo, the conditions in Northern Mex
leo are admittedly those of anarch,
and caos, for the reason that tn,
Constitutionalists have not been abb,
to control many independent bands
of marauders, who, while operatin,
with them for purposes of persona
salvi.ion are not cooperating will
them for law and order.
II Is into this territory, and for thi
reason, that the senators would pou
the forces of intervention. They sa.
that IL the United States owes an.
duty to humanity and civilization |
is time to put an end to the anarch.
In Northern Mexico. They asser
Huerta is in no position to resen
such an Intervention in that territory
