Think Huerta's Faith Shaken.

Think Huerta's Faith Shaken.
Reports from Mexico City that Huerta
is sending emissaries to call on John
Lind at Vera Cruz believed to be
direct outcome of recent developments
which have shaken Huertas faith in his
ability to outwait and outwit the United
States
Word was received here today from
Gen. Villa by constitutionalist represent
atfves denying absolutely stories that
he caused Is" men 70 be slaughtered
after his capture OF .Ojinaga.
There was not one execution after this
battle he sent word. He added that
200 of the federal officers and soldiers had
gone over to his cause and are now
with him.

No Change in Mexican Policy.
| There has been no change in the
policy Of the United States in regard to
| Mexico This was the substance of the
replies made yesterday by Secretary
Bryan. 10 several OF the members of the
diplomatic corps who called upon him at
the State Department. The foreign rep
| resentatives, noting the depressing ef-
feet upon Mexican bonds held by citizens
of their countries by the default in the
semi-annuai interest payments, had in
quired as to what action. if any. the
United States would take in view of the
conditions.
The Secretary's callers inferred thai
this collapse of Mexican credit abroad
had been fully expected by the admins
tration. and that Mr.. Bryan was not IN
any sense apprehensive of foreign inter
ference in the working out of the Alneri-
can plans. 1t was made evident, too. that
no thought has yet been given to inter-
vention by the United States between the
Mexican factions.
From Hermosillo it was reported that
positive orders had been promulgated by
Gen. Carranza that no Americans or
their properties should be interfered with
in any manner.

agitation abroad and by foreign dip
iomats here over the failure of Mexico to
meet the semi-annual interest on the ex-
ternal and internal debt has brought out
the significance of this DEVELOPMENT and
led to the belief in official circles here
today that it marks another step in the
watching and waiting" policy of PresI-
dent Wilson.
While the first effect of the n-pay
ment of the interest has been to call forth
renewed demands that the United States
take some definite action in Mexico. il
is expected here that when 1t is ''l'ly
realized that the United States is to con-
unue to wait the feeling abroad will de-
Velop into pointed calls from influential
sources that lluerta get out.
1t Is taken for granted in official circles
that after the trouble over Huerta is
en"ed the accrued interest on the national
debt Will be paid. and that foreign in
Nestors will lose nothing in the end. But
the steady stand of the United States
against Huerta Is now believed to be he
ginning TO make foreigners realize that
they can get little from Mexico until the
dictator goes.

Anderson of Chautauqua county, who
commands the attacking force has aban-

Tor fear of injuring innocent members of
the family or sacrificing the lives of his
deputies. Besides Beardsley there are in
the house Mrs. Beardsley and nine chill

Their reported plight led to the visit of

Beardsley fired the shots that are TO-DAY
reported likely to prove fatal.
Ruse Proves Futile.
A ruse to draw Beardsley out of his
barricaded stronghold early today failed
because the farmer suspected a trick.
Sheriff Anderson and his company with

and Timothy Van Cise, the only two men
who have been able to approach the
house since the siege began. went up to
the house to offer to aid Beardsley to es-

Space for More Buildings.


1t is planned to erect the building about
100 feet back from the sidewalk. or about
the same distance as the Pan-American
Union building. but further than Me-
mortal Continental Hall. This will leave
considerable space behind the building.
in which other buildings may be erected
as needed.
The ultimate plans of the Red Cross
executives is, to make the building pro-
vided for by Congress the administration
building. 1t is hoped at some time to
put UP another building to house a
school for the town and country nursing
service and still another in which
TO train corps of lecturers on
first aid work. These plans. however,
have no definite form as yet.
After the plans for the main structure
have been decided on by the commission
they viii have to be passed on by the
fine arts commission. 1t is aimed to go
through all the preliminaries as rapidly
as Is consistent with good business policy
and absolute safety in order that the
work of digging the excavations may be
done next spring and summer and the
corner stone lald next fall.

Difference of Opinion.

The standpoint of Mr.. Parker differed
slightly from that of Louis F. Post
founder and first editor of the Public, tn.
general organ of the single tax idea The
latter, in speaking of some of the diff.
cuitles encountered by that publication
stated that practically every paper in
the country was endowed" either by
some man, some corporation or its ad-
vertIsers, and that the only way to pre-
vent publication at an increasing loss
with the advent of each new subscriber
was to constantly struggle for advertis-
ing patronage. Mr.. Parker, on the other
nand, declared that this condition was a
thing of the past and cited examples oI
periodicals. proving his case.
+. {. Leubuscher of New York, in
speaking OF the Single Tax Review. the
journal OF information for singie-taxers
published in that city by Joseph Dana
Miller, described it as an organ OF i'm
provement and one to be supported by

Garrison Favors Single Head.

Gov. Metcalfe favored a commission
form of government, but Secretary Gar
r1son believed that Col. Goethals' idea OF
single head, with immense power, was
the proper one
Secretary Garrison said today that he
had submitted most of the plans to the
President and believed action would be
taken shortly. 1t is necessary for the
President to issue an executive order
establishing the new form of govern
ment and this order is being drawn under
the direction of Secretary Garrison fol-
lowing his conference with the President
The President understands that prompt
actlon is necessary, as ships will begin
to go through the canal in a few months
The executive order will not involve the
proposition of tolls. a question that it is
believed will be far more difficult to
settle

Owners Willing to Sell.

The square chosen as the site of the
building has a frontage of 800 feet on
18th street and is $40 feet deep. It is
now taken up with number Of small
buildings. The square is owned by
large number of persons, but all have
agreed to sell. The total cost of the
square is expected to be about $3.50. coo.
Reeves T. Strickland was authorized by
the commission yesterday to proceed to
close the sales on the different prop
critics.
The commission is to meet early next
week to take up the question of selecting
plans for the building. Although no def
mite decision has been reached, it is con-
sidered probable that preliminary plans
drawn by Trowbridge & Livingston New
York architects. will! be chosen without a
competition. These plans meet the ideas
of the principal executives of the Red
Cross. and it is desired to avoid losing
the time always incident to competition.
The site decided on yesterday by the
commission Is the one most desired since
the launching Of the project for the
structure. 1t is considered particularly
suitable because of its proximity to the
State. War and Navy building. The Red
Cross has frequent dealings with all three
departments. ..-s....

Campaign, calling on the churches and
schools to unite during the week Of No

over the country the essential facts with
reference to the treatment and proven
ton Of tuberculosis.
