Play IS the thing.
Children need one sort of play and

is to gain surcease from the routine

SAYS BURDEN IS
GROWING HEAVY
GOethaIs Feels Weight Of Criti-
Cism Heaped Upon Him.
WANTS TO LEAVE lsTHMus.
Builder OF the Panama Canal, How
ever, Asserts That He Will Not
Leave the Zone Until the
Waterway Is Completed.
.lcopyright.l

Panama.-Col. George w. Goethals
reiterated emphatica1ly his declaration
that he could not accept the post of
commissioner of police at New York
until after the completion and the sue
cessful operation of the Panama Canal.
Even if all the other conditions which
he has imposed were complied with it
is said this would keep him on the
isthmus for another 18 months.
It is generally believed here that the
agitation in New York to take Colonel
Goethals from the isthmus will have
the effect of Fastening action at Wash
ington looking to the establishment of
permanent government In the Canal
Zone. The Colonel himself makes no
secret of the fact that the delay is
causing him much embarrassment. be-
cause it prevents him from making an
effort to keep men on the isthmus
whom he would like to see in the per-
manent operating organization.
Nor does Colonel Goethels make a
secret of his desire to leave the
isthmus. He makes it plain, however,
that he wishes to see his work mere
completed and the canal in operation
before he returns to other duties in
the United States. He has told friends
that the burden is growing heavy and
that he has felt the weight of criticism
that has come to his administration
from various quarters.
Speaking of the commissionership,
Colonel Goethals frankly admitted that
the offer of the New York post had
attracted him until he found obstacles
that would make it impossible for him
to carry into effect reforms which he
might desire to make. His friends
here have strongly advised him against
acceptance of the offer. and it is be-
lieved that their views have had great
weight with him.

Mexico City.-President Huerta be-
trays no sign of yielding, although he
is cognizant of the increase in the
strength of his enemies intriguing
within the capital and those in the
field, is handicapped by inability to
procure money and is confronted with
Washington's determination that he
must retire from Mexico's affairs.
Personal and political friends and
the highest officials of the Catholic
Church in Mexico, who have been en-.
deavoring by methods for the most
part discreetly indirect to bring about
his elimination, are seemingly con-
WINGED that they have failed.
General Huerta talks optimistically
of the outlook, displays pride in the
size of his army, which he estimates at
considerably more than 100000, and
appears to believe that in spite of all
obstacles and reverses he will be able
to dominate the situation within three
months.
It is conceded here that ex-Minister
Flores Magon has failed in his mission
to Mr.. Lind at Vera Cruz and that the
United States will listen to no PROPOSE
ton short of the unconditional elimina-
ton of Huerta.
No one, not even President Huerta,
attempts to disguise the fact that the
Mexican treasury is practically empty.
In the capital the Government payrolls
are being liquidated with reasonable
promptness, but it is no secret that the
diplomatic representatives and consuls
abroad in many cases have not been
paid for weeks and that the troops out
side the capital often receive their pay
long after it is due. In most cases
these funds are derived from local
sources; sometimes they are from
forced loans levied on the inhabitants
where the troops happen to be sta
toned
Extraordinary taxes have been
levied in the capital, as well as out
side points, and there are rumors that
other DEGREES are soon to be issued
that will exact still greater tribute
from the people.

The question as to whether there is
some big directing force behind this
movement is giving the officials at the
palace moments of uneasy speculation.
There are some who believe that Gen.

capital almost a year ago. are behind

HAITI A HOTBED
OF REBELLION
Washington Officials Stirred
Over the Situation.
WILSON AND BRYAN CONFER
Success OF the Haitien Movement Re-
sarded AS Direct Challenge To
the Administration DIsap-
provaI Of Such Methods.

Cape Haitien, Haiti.-A general re-
volt has broken out in the city of
Gonaiyes, capital Of the Department of
Artibite. The leader Of the insurrec-
ton is Oreste Zamor, former governor
of the department and at one time
minister of war. The city is only IS
miles from Port au Prince, the capital
of the republic. General Desormes, at
the head of the rebel forces, took Cape
Haitien and Fort Liberte.
Washington. The Haitien revolu-
ton, headed by Davilar Theodore, an
exiled senator recently driven into
Santo Domingo, has reached such pro-
portions as to command the serious at
tention of the State Department. The
success of movement of this kind
might be regarded as direct chal-
lenge to the administrators policy of.
disapproval of the erection of govern
ments by force and without reference
to the forms of a constitution.
Secretary Bryan has already con-
suited with President Wilson, and with
Boaz w. Long, chief of the Latin
American Bureau of the State Depart
ment, as to Haitien affairs.
News was received at the State De-
partment from the American Legation
at Port au Prince that at Cape Haitien,
threatened by the rebels, the citizens
have formed a committee of public
safety. removed customs officials and
placed commission in charge.
Although no treaty exists, as in the
case of Santo Domingo, which clothes
the United States government with au-
thority over the customs houses, it is
understood that ample authority for
taking over Haitien custom houses out
of control of the national government
has been proffered through Ulrich
Duvivier, resident Haitien minister
here.
The naval force available is believed
to be quite sufficient for the purpose,
as the cruiser Montana, now at Port
au Prince has a complement of $50
men. including a company of marines.
the Petrol, now at Santo Domingo city,
but within easy reach of Haitien
waters, has crew of 120 bluejackets
and the gunboat Nashville at Cape
Haitien carries 225 men.
