Huerta's New Year Outlook.

Mexico City. Jan. 1.-President Huerta to all appearances views the outlook for the new year with few misgivings. With his signing today of a decree prolonging the period of bank holidays for fifteen days, he is said to regard the immediate finan- cial difficulty as overcome and is re- ported to have expressed entire con fdence in his ability to solve the greater problem in the near future.
 The president is quoted as having said recently in a conversation with an American thse the resources of the country as yet scarcely had been touched that there was unlimited wealth in the republic which was available to the administration, and that it was a great error to regard the country as in a condition even approximating financial stress. He then likened the republic to snake, of which he was the head, and add ed
 ITO kill the snake it is necessary to crush the head To overthrow this republic the rebels must take the cap ital and kill me. That they never can do."
 President Huerta held several re- captions today. He was felieitated on the occasion of the new year by the cabinet ministers, to whom he gave a glowing account of the pros poets of the nation, Within month, he said, he would have 1SO,000 men in the field, and he assured the min isters that the country would have an abundance of funds for the pacifi- cation and development of the coun- try. At noon Gen. Huerta received the diplomats at the palace. Nelson ShaughnessN the American charge d'atfaires, attended the reception. In spite of optimism in official cir cles, concern is felt over the reports indicating the possibility of an attack by rebels on San Luis Potosi. The rebel force is at Bocas, twenty-five miles north Of San Luis Potosi. Daily brushes take place between the reb- els and federals, and the dynamiting of trains is becoming a common prac- tice of the rebels. A troop train is reported to have been blown up to- day near Pectillos.
 The dynamiting operations of the rebels are directed py man called "El Poncho," who uses an electric battery and several hundred yards of wire, the ends of which are connect ed with bombs he has planted on the railway tracks. He carries no arms and moves from place to place on mule back, offering his services 70 the various bands of rebels.

Secretary RedfieId Will Uphold Re- strictions to Protect the American Crop.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Regulations restricting the importation of foreign potatoes into the United States. to guard agains potato diseases, were laid down by Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture today, in the formo fan official decision. Provisions requiring imporers to no tify the department of all shipments from countries not under the abso- lute ban and the enforcement of a rigid inspection upon entry by the de partments agents, are contained in the order.
 The regulations also provide for lifting under cetain conditions the quarantine enforced against most of the potato growing regions of the world Upon the presentation of sat isfactory evidence that country is free from injurious potato diseases and insect pests, potatoes will be ad- mitted. in accordance with the regu- lations governing the importation from countries not now quarantined against
 The department today warned American potato growers against the use of second hand British or Euro pean sacks, unless sterilized. "It ap- pears" the order said, there is a considerable trade in second hand sacks. Tn some instances, entire shipments from the great potato dis tricts of Maine to New York City have been made in foreign second hand sacks. Germs of the diseases are carried in sacks in which pota- toes have been imported from Flu rope"

ANOTHER MEXICAN ARMY BEING CROWDED TO THE BORDER
 BY THE REBELS.
FRENCH GUNNER A HERO
Works Havoc Among Ranks of the Federals with His Wonderful Workmanship and Cool DarInu- Huerta Seems Disheartened.

Laredo, Tex, Jan. With a Frenchman operating a machine gun for the oonstitutionalist forces with. deadly effect, fighting between Gen Pablo Gonzales revolutionists and the federal defenders of Neuvo La redo, which began early this morn ing and luiled at noon, was resumed this afternoon at o'clock.
 An hour later constitutionalists who had taken a position three-quar- ters of a mile west of the city again ceased firing with the reported inten- tion of working closer to the federal position and resorting to dynamite bombs with the coming of nightfall.
 Undaunted by the screaming and bursting of shells above his head. the French gunner, whose name is said to be Brien, trained his machine gun with deadly accuracy whenever a suf- ficient number of federal targets ap- peared. Through fieid glasses watch CTS on the American side saw fed erals mown down by it's hail of bull lets, tumbling dead or wounded into the trenches.
 The lone gunner drew the fire of four machine guns, thirty shots com ing from the federal side to one from the rebels. With Brien were about 100 constitutionalists according 10 two daring Americans who crossed the bridge and reached the revolu- tionist lines, and they had four ma chine guns. but used only one at a time
 Late today federals admitted the JOSS of fifty killed and many scores wounded, while the rebels admitted their loss in killed would easily reach 100 owing to their more expos ed positions.
 Among the officers numbered among the dead were Capt. Mancil- las of the federal army and Capt. Eziquel Parras of the constitutional ists.
 Many bullets fell on the American side of the river and there were many narrow escapes, but no deaths had been reported tonight Miguel Guer- rere, a Mexican, was struck by richiochetting bullet while seated on a curbstone in Laredo and wounded. The bullet fell perpendicularly strik- ing him in the head
 Many wounded constitutionalists crossed to the American side and were cared for in improvised hospi- tais.
 Word from Hidalgo. Mexico, at o'clock this evening, said 500 consti- tutionalist achievements were on their way to Nuevo Laredo and they were expected to arrive about o'clock

water, and all begging the Americans on the opposite side for shelter from the turmoil from which they had fled.
 The river bed is of soft mud, with water in the middle about waist deep. At one point 200 federals, all carry ing arms, waded across. They were surrounded b va handful of United surrounded by a handful of United back. The wounded were picked up as soon as they reached this side. or If 8 wounded sofdier got stuck in the mud he was dragged out and placed in the care of the Red Cross. A sol dier who had his, arm shot off, an other limping with a wounded foot. still more who actually crawlcd into the water, a federal lieutenant bear ing the. uniform of his rank. a bugler with abunch of yellow tasseis on his arm, barefoot private who had lost his shoes, all formed part of the hob bling line that came down the mile which intervenes between Ojinaga and the river.
 The protest of the unwounded fed erals against being forced back into Mexico was pitiable Deserters went back, but wailing as they went, that they surely would be killed without their arms
 It was the fact that there were SO many deserters as much as the prog ress of the rebel fighting that con yinced Maj. McNamee that the re- treat to the United States of the whole federal army was inevitable.
 The little mission church on ahis side of the river was made the asy- lum of the wounded. above which the Red Cross flag fioated.

WANT FREE SPEECH
 FOR EDUCATORS
PROFESSORS OF POLITICAL SCI ENcE THINK CHANGE IS A
 NECESSITY.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Steps to as- sure perfect freedom of thought and speech for professors of political sci ence in American universities will Se undertaken by committee named here today at the closing session of the annual meeting of the American Polhicai Science Association.
 The association adopted a resolu- tion providing for the appointment of a committee of three "to examine and report upon the present situation in American educational institutions as to liberty of thought, freedom of speech and securiy of tenure for teachers of oplitical science"
 Leaders said the movement was q result of the recent action of a well- known university in dismissing pro fesso rof economies who had helped along a piece of progressive state legislation to which the conservative officers of the university were op- posed.
 John Bassett Moore, counsellor af the State Department, was elected president of the association. which will meet next year in Chicago.

To Clear the Border.

Juarez, Mex, Jan. 1.-Gen. Villas advisers today said that rebel activ- ity at Oiinaga and Nuevo Laredo was the result of general orders to clear the border of federals.
 Rebel successes at these points would leave the Huerta government virtually without a vestige of power on the United States border and would place them in supreme control of territory extending north of a line from Tampico on the gulf coast across the country through Monterey and Torreon to Guaymas on the Pa cific coast
 Gen. Villa probably will await here the outcome of the border fights.
 Notwithstanding the reported in- tention of the rebels to attack the fed erals tonight with dynamite bombs, it was believed here fighting would not be resumed until daylight.
 United States troops, Texas rangers, the Texas National Guard and munich pal police were busy tonight keeping the curious from the danger zone.
 Late tonight estimates of the dead ranged from 200 by the most con servative to double that number, but there was no way to obtain accurate figures.

 PRESENT OUTLOOK.
Meetings of Opposing Factions Have Been Held in Hancock and All Want Peace.

Hou9hton, Mich, Jan. LA feeling of optimism regarding the possibility of a speedy settlement of the strike of copper miners developed steadily today. Those in touch with the sit nation predicted the struggle might end in the next few days.

mon ground between the warning in- terests.
 in view of prospects of an early settlement it was understood the min. ing companies had decided to hold m abeyance their determination not to re-employ strikers after tomorrow.
 Plans for mediation contemplated by MT. Densmore were delayed be- cause many representatives of the mining companies were absent be- cause of the holiday.
 Meetings of opposing faction were held in Hancock. Unionism and SO cialism were preached in a hall crowded with strikers and their sym pathizers and resolutions conGeMning the action of the mine owners, the deportation of Mover and urging a congressional investigation of the strike with a view to ultimate public ownership of the mines were adopt ed.

Confidence in U. S. Troops.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Full conf- dence in the ability of the 500 Amer ican troopers at Presidio to deal with the situation there was expressed to- night by War Department officials.
 It was said no special orders had gone from Washington, the depart ment deeming it unnecessary to in- terfere with the plans of Brig. Gen. Bliss, commanding border forces.
 Should the rebels follow the fugi- tives across they would be given the same treatment accorded the feder- ais. Officials here are satisfied, how ever, that the chase would end at the border

 Were Sent Back Over Line.

Fl Paso. Tex, Jan. 1.--Roaul Ma dero, brother of the late president of Mexico, on behalf of Gen. Villa to- day called on United States army of ficials here to inquire why the fed erals at Ojinaga were forced back to the Mexican side. Madero said the rebels felt this action was advantag- eous to the federal army.
 He was told that once the federals were disarmed before they were sent back by the American troops their usefulness as fighters was destroyed and that the United States would treat all combatants alike.

 RlVEs ON CRUISER.
SECRECY IS MAINTAINED

 able Outcome Of Conference at
 Pass Christian.

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan. 1.-John Lind, personal Representative of Pres ident Wilson in Mexico, arrived here from Vera Cruz aboard the scout cruiser Chester tonight, but he did not leave the vessel. He will come ashore early tomorrow for a confer ence with the president.
 The Chester arrived at Ship rs- land, eight miles south of here. at 9:l5 o'clock She did not attempt to transfer her passengers to the Wi mona, the United States revenue cut ter, which has been waiting there
 The president had waited all day for some word from the Chester. but not until 10 o'clock did he receive messages from the Navy Department announcing that the cruiser had re- ported twenty-five miles from Ship Island and would arrive at 9:15.
 Mir. Wilson's desire to avoid pub. llcity in connection with the envoy's visit was emphasized not only by the reticienee of everyone in the presidential party, but by the myste- rious movements of the revenue cut ter Winona After spending thirty hours outside of Ship Island waiting for the Chester, the cutter finally came in at dusk tonight
 As she steamed toward Pass Chris tian word rapidly spread that the Chester had arrived and had trans ferred the distinguished passenger at Ship Island. When the Winona dropped anchor a miie away LieIt Howell of the cutter, who had been scanning the horizon all day with glasses, put out in twenty-foot launch
 4 crowd had collected, moving pie ture machines were set up, camera men were ready and small boys shot off firecrackers in celebration of the occasion
 Jack Wheeler one of the presi- dents secret service men, had arriv- ed in a White House motor and wait ed expectantly. Slowly the little boat drew up alongside the tiny gang way. But as the launch drew near to shore only Lieut. Howell appear ed He entered into a whispered conversation with the presidents rep resentative and the latter rushed 70 the nearest telephone On returning he held another conversation with Lieut. Howell and the launch went back to the Winona, which again put out to sea.
 Officials of the cutter declined to say whether they had sighted the Chester or give any reason for the hurried visit of the launch to the shore
 The president kept indoors most of the day. emitting his usual game If golf and taking only a short automo bile ride.

PETITIONS FOR LIQUOR LIcEN. SEES ARE DULY FILED WITH
 CLERK OF COUNTY COURT.
OPEN ID INSPECTION NOW
Fight from This On Win Be to chal- lenge Names on the Petitions and Keep Up Running Fire on the Ap- plicatIons for License.

(Wlthout any more formality than would have attended the filing of any other legal papers in the most ordi- nary civil action, the 4,400 names on petitions asking for the issuance of liquor licenses, were filed with Coun- ty Clerk Charles Davis yesterday morning.
 Attorney k G. Davies brought the Yoluminous records into court, asked that they be received and filed. and took a receipt for them, which remoy- ed them to the custody of the county clerk, to be held until such time as they are taken up by County Judge Mooney for an inspection relative to whether they shall be acted on with favor or not.
 Just when the first legal steps will be taken in the matter was not an nounced yesterday. but it is fairly an ticipated that things will begin mov- ing today. Judge o. H. Sumpter, who is conducting the fight for the pro- hibitionists, stated yesterday that he had no announcement to make of his plans, but that he probably would lose no time in challenging the peti- tions and in making an endeavor to establish before the county court that they should not be acted on.
 The petitions were gone over yes terday in the type form by Will Vale, acting for the citizens committee. and the removal of the sixty-odd names of those who had changed their minds since signing the peti- tions, were removed. This was found to be quite a task, since some of those who signed the power of attor- ney for Rev. Wylie did not affix the same signatures as to initials or resi- dence that they had affixed to the pe- be in controversy when the final ac- tion is taken in court.
 Yesterday the saloons were closed, and it was reported if there had been "bootlegging" from any 1t was under the most close supervision, and no- body was caught at it. There were some front ends open in saloons. where cigar and tobacco business is conducted in the front, but the screens or petitions in such instances were generally tightly locked so that there could be no passageway into the bar.
 There was an exodus yesterday to the country of several hunting and fishing parties, made up of the saloon men and bartenders, and there are many other such parties in process of formation, indicating that the liq- uor side does not expect anything of results within less time than ten 10 fifteen days, and is going to make the best of the enforced vacation.
