The Brewers Denial

Now comes the Missouri Brewers
association asserting most emphstically
that they are "agin" opening the sa'
looms Of this State on Sunday, says an
editorial in the Missouri Rualist. Fur
thermoIe, they deplore the fact pub
licity has been given a rumor that
their organization is backing the move
ment. II we are to believe the brew
ers nothing could be farther from their
innocent minds than a desire to sell
beer on the Sabbath day. They
propose to fight the amendment, ac-
cording to their announcement, and
urge all good citizens TO do likewise.
We would like to believe these emf
nent citizens Of our beloved state are
actuated by unselfsh motives when
they thus line up with the temperance
element OF Missouri. 1t would be
nice to picture the brewer as a bene-
VIOLENT old person who has the best in
terests Of his fellow man at heart and
| is indifferent to personal gain. The
plain facts Of the matter are, though,
that the brewer is scared. With a
large portion Of the state dry the de-
mand for his wares has fallen of
alarmingly in recent years. Not so
very long ago the liquor element in
| Mi souri did not care a continental
what the country people thought about
their business or their methods Local
option has changed that attitude and
the brewer is we'll content to be left
alone. The saloon keeper may work
ior the Sunday saloon man, but the
man who furnishes the goods vii
keep in the background. He woulc
rather sell less beer in Missouri thar
to face the possibility Of moving ou
r altogether, and just such things as th'
, new proposal might bring that about.
This latest move Of the brewers re
E minds US Of the old saw: When tn

HOPE THAT WAR MAY BE AvERTED.
BRAZIL AND CHILE TO ATTEMPT SETTLEMENT
Of DISPUTE BETWEEN U. S. MEXICAN FADTIONS

telegraphed that the United States is
not justified in occupying Mexican
territory. THE invasion says the
letter, will drag US (Mesico) into an
unequal war with dignity, but which
until today we desired to avoid,''
The unofficial translation Of the let
ter follows:
~. S. Consul J. c. Carothers; In
answer to the message Of Mr.. Secre-
tary of State Bryan, which was com
municated to me through you, please
transmit 10 the said Mr.. Bryan the FOL
loving note addressed to Mr.. Pres
ident Wilson,
Awaiting the action Of the Ameri-
can senate on your excellencY's mes
sage directed to said body caused by
the lamentable incident which occur
red between a crew in d whaleboat Of
the cruiser Dolphin and soldiers Of the
usurper Huerta, certain acts Of hos
tility have been executed by the naval
forces under command Of Admiral
Fletcher at the port OF Vera Cruz, and
in the face OF this violation Of national
sovereignty which the constitutionalist
government did not expect from
government that had reiterated its desire
to maintain peace with the Mexican
people, comply with the duty Of
elevated patriotism in directing this
note 10 you with a view TO exhausting
all honorable means before two friend
ly nations sever the pacific relations
that still unite them. As the Mexi-
can nation, the real people Of Mexico,
has not recognized as its executive a
man who had pretended to launch a
blemish on its national integrity,
drowning in blood its free institutions,
consequently the acts Of the usurper
Huerta and his accompeices do not
signify legitimate acts Of sovereignty;
they do not constitute real public
functions OF interior and exterior Tela
tions, and much less do they represent
the sentiments Of the Mexican nation,
which are Of colraternity towards the
American people.
THE lack Of representative charac-
ter Of General Victoriano Huerta, as
concerning the relations Of Mexico
with the United States, as we'll as with
Argentine Republic, Chill, Brazil and
Cuba, had been clearly established
with justifable attitude Of these ma
tions, which have refused TO recog-
nize the usurper, in this way lending a
valuable moral support TO the noble
cause l represent.
The usurped title Of the republic
cannot invest General Huerta with the
right 10 receive a demand for repara-
ton on the part Of the United States
nor the right to grant satisfaction as
due.
"Victoriano Huerta is a culprit who
is amenable TO the constitutionalist
government, today the only one under
the abnormal circumstances Of our ma
tion, which represents the naliona,
sovereignty in accord with article No
1913 OF the political constitution o.
Mexico.
The illegal acts committed by
usurper Huerta and his partisans, anC
those which they may yet perpetrate

the door Of the closet and sadly

Washington, April %. -- Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American charge
at Mexico City, has been handed his
passports by General Huerta and is
preparing to leave Mexico City.
Charge O'Shaughnessy telegraphed
the state department, under date oi
Wednesday night, as follows:
Having been given my passports, l
am leaving tomorrow night or Friday
morning"
The message was given out at 3:2O
a, m.
Huerta's handing Of passports TO
Charge O'Shaughnessy was regarded
as a most sensational development in
the situation, as il was believed TO fore
cast declarationssof war on the part Of
Huerta. The giving Of passports to a
minister or charge d'afaires in most
cases, though not invariably, has pre-
ceded a declaration OF war.
Although the message from the
charge was not given out until 1920 a,
M, it generally was believed that
it had been in possession OF officials fol
least three hours and that this was
one Of the subjects discussed when
the president and Secretary Bryan were
awakened and talked over the tele-
phone about the Cananza note.
Charge Algara already had received
an intimation from his government that
he was to use his own judgement
about quitting Washington and it /:
probable that when he learns Of the
prospective departure Of O'Shaugh
messy he, too, will leave.

Washington, April 27,-Formal ac'
ceplance by the Huerta government Of
the offer Of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
to use their good Offices to bring about
an amicable settlement between the
United States and Mexico was cabled
to Spanish Ambassador Riano here
tonight By Portilla y Roias, foreign
minister in the Huerta cabinet.
Senor Rojas' note was transmitted at
once to the three South American dip
lomats, who began a conference which
lasted far into uight, discussing the
next move in their peace plan. Sec
retary Bryan, on the part Of the United
States, having accepted the offer Of
good offices when rendered Saturday,
the first step is now completed and the
way paved for actual negotiations look
ing TO a peaceful clearing up of the
situation.
Throughout official and diplomatic
circles the belief is expressed that sue
cess of the peacemakers so far will
necessarily have a favorable effect upon
the situation; that even though their
efforts ultimately fail, indirect diplo'
matte communication between the
United States and the Huerta govern
ment having been temporarily, the
chance Of a better understanding is
greatly improved.
Meanwhile the navy and war de-
partments are continuing their efforts
to care for refugees and periecting the
machinery Of the army and navy for
whatever turn events may take.

PUT FIELD JUDGE
BACK IN FOOTBALL
Walter Camp Says Action By
Rules Committee is NeCeS-
Sary Owing to Cempli-
cations Of Play

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan 21.-
Walter Camp. Yale's athletic adviser
thinks football will present the pos
sibility Of "a much further dclevop-
ment of the rules" when the Foot
ball Rules Committee holds its meet
ing in New York next month. In q
statement, Mr.. Camp gave his ideas
OF what the Rules Committee may do.
lie advocates the return of the field
Judge TO the game. His views fol-
low:
Some time in February, subject
to the call of f. K Ford, of Dart
mouth, the chairman. the Football
Rules Committee will hold its annual
meeting in ,,ew York. All players
and coaches look forward with more
or less anxiety TO this session, for
upon its action depends the kind of
game they Will be obliged to learn
for the coming fall. For two years
now the rules have remained so near
ly stationary that they have had a
fair test in actual play and the game
resulting has apparently been satis-
fatory while still admitting of much
further development True, each
year brings up some weakness in
the wording which must be taken
care OF in order that the meaning
and Interpretation may be clear and
the ruling uniform.
"But apart from this, and an evil
dent necessity of bringing back once
more the ofhcial known as the field
Judge, whose prominence was supple
mentary to that of the referee and
umpire. there seems to be little call
for radical changes. The reintro-
duction of this official becomes more
necessary because the plays made
possible under the forward pass and
quick kick are beginning to take on
such complicated variety that the two
officials can no longer be expected to
cover every point. They would have
to develop a pair of supplementary
eyes to SEE every move OF the play
so as to rule fairly and understand
ingly instead of letting the ruling de-
pend upon what they happen to see.
Football has reached such a ligh
state of perfection that there is little
room for improvement in the rules.
OF late years the possibility of in
/ jury has been reduced TO a minimum
which. incidentally. involves a more
open and more scientific style of play
In this fact lies the possibility for a
change y the rules. namely the
1 introduction of the field judge"

NEWARK HIGH TO
TRY COLLEGE, SCRUBS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Del, Jan. 21.-The pre-
liminary game to be played IN the
Delaware College cage tonight be-
tween the Newark High School and
Delaware College scrubs will be as
much of an attraction as the schcd
uied game between. Delaware aud
Drexel Institute Of philadelphia The
local High School team is now claim
ing the championship of the State in
basketball Smyrna High was the
only team that disputed this claim.
but since Smyrna was badly defeated
last Saturday by the Dover High, the
local school contends that its claim
cannot be disputed as they defeated
Dover several weeks ago by a one
sided score There is much friend
ly rivalry between the college scrubs
and the High School teams. so tho
game tonight is sure to be an inter-
esting one.
Drexel Institute last year defeated
Delaware and the local college five
is anxious to wipe out this defeat in
tonight's contest. In practice this
week Coach McAvoy las been using
Horscy and NaylOr forwards; Wei
mer, centre. and Doherty and Cam.
guards. This seems to make the best
combination that has been tried and
the players will he in much better
shape TO battle against Drexel than
they we're in the opening game
against Susnuehanna University last
Friday night.

CYCLE-CARS
ARE POPULAR

During the last few days number
OF inquiries have been received at THE
EVENING JOURNAL regarding cycle
cars. William l.. Hammond OF the VIII
mington Automobile Company is highly
enthusiastic over the future of the ears.
Mr. Hammond said yesterday that IL
was surprising what work the little ma.
chimes can do. He said that they are
made in two styles, one wide enough to
scat TWO persons and the other like "a
tandem. The average tread is about a
inches and the wheel base about 50
inches. the cars are made in various
styles and weigh from $50 TO 600
pounds Some of them can run as high
as 80 miles an hour The ears possess
all the advantages OF the runabout au-
tomobie and can be maintained as
chcaply as motorcycle.

FRIENDS LOSE,
BUT TEMPLE HAD
TO GO SOME

Temple Preparatory School, of
Philadelphia deleated the Whining
ton Friends School basketball team
last night, 80 to 26. in one Of the
most hotly contested games on a To-
cal floor this year. Friends School
was outweighed from to pounds
a man, but nevertheless made it so
hot for the visitors that the captain
of their team after the game was fin
ished, voiced the opinion that the To-
cal team was one Of the best teams in
this section and if taken to Philadel-
phia could clean up in scholastic cir
cles. On several occasions the local
boys tied the score and their playing
at times would have done credit to
any team.
The first half was opened by Smith
of Temple, who dropped the ball
through the hoop for a clean basket
in the first few minutes of play. Af-
ter some wild shooting during which
neither team could get line on the
baskets. Johnson and Smith came
through with four more points for
the visitors and il began to look bad
for the local boys. Layfield came uu.
However. in most magnificent man
ner and scored two field goals in
rapid succession. The crowd broke
loose. Dickson shot a goal but Will
son of the local boys came along
with another making to 8. A mo
ment later the score was tied Tenn

seen on the local floor raised the
score to Is to before the half ended.
