The following statement then was issued from the White House;
 General Huerta is still insisting upon doing something less than has been demanded and something less than would constitute an acknowledge ment that his representatives were en- tirely in the wrong in the indignities they have put upon the government of the United States.
 TAKE MATTER TO
 CONGRESS MONDAY
 The President has determined that if General Huerta has not yielded by 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon, he will take the matter to Congress on Mon day.
 Allowing five hours, the average time for transmission of cable mes sages from Charge O'Shaughnessy and including time for ciphering and deciphering, an answer was not ex- pected here before early Monday morning, assuming that Huerta takes the full time for indicating his inten- tions.

Though the text uf Huertas answer was not made public, other officials described the dictators at titude as very obstinate" and insisting on simultaneous salute. Naval officers said there was no such thing as "a sim ultaneous salute Apologies are given in a salute of 2l guns, fired in intervals of 10 seconds. after the completion of which

 Huertas continued evasiveness and his desperate condition. both from fnan- cial and military point of view, led many high officials to believe he would defy the United States and take chances on consequences through which national spirit might be aroused to unite the war ring factions and entrsnch him in office.
 Mexican eonstitutionalist representatives here were in communication with Seore- tary Bryan today. Well informed sources said the constituencies under no cir canstances would unite with Huerta but would maintain a statue quo in the ter ritory they control if the United States took no offensive action against them.
 Ambassadors and ministers, eager to learn the purposes of the American gov esnment, were supplied with information at the state department. A summary of the developments of the day was cabled to all American embassies and legations for the information of foreign govern ments

Notes from New
York Theaters
BY BEAU RIALTO

written fo rthe United Press)
New York, March 21.-One of the
weeks pronounced successes was Ed
ward Peble's new musical farce ga
Pair of Sixes," produced by Fl. H.
Frazee at the Longacre theatre. The
piece, which received prolonged road
try out on the Atlantic coast, came to
Broadway with its success assured.
The action of the comedy is based on.
the Potash C Perlmutter- quar-
rels of two young men, partners in
the Eureka Digestive Pill Company.
Broadway managers have found
that economy in the production of a
new play is a poor policy. This sea-
son, in particular, has demonstrated
that the only way to put play across
is to engage for it the very best cast
obtainable. After a play has had a
successful run, it may be carried on
by actors of minor regulations, but
for the premiere it has become neces-
sary to have very nearly all star
cast to insure success. A. H. Woods
admitted this when he got together
one of the strongest companies Broad
way ever saw to put on "The Yellow
Ticket" at the Eltinge. Frazee fol-
lowed the same precept in "a Pair of
Sixes." In the company are Hale Ham
ilton, Ann Murdock, Ivy Troutman,
George Parsons, George Howard, Ger
aldine Beckwith and many others Of
the same calibre.

President Wilson is not the only
man who believes thirteen IS his lucky

Immediately. Scarborough's arrange
ment with Frazee, lessee of the Long

John Bunny, than whose face no
physiognomy is known to more peo-
pie all over the world, has insured
himself against beauty. Bunnys face
is his fortune, all right, but not III
the usual sense of that phase. Bunny
is as ugly as the proverbial mud fence
and he is proud of it. He jealously
safeguards his homeliness, because he
knows it is the thing that makes him
the highest priced moving picture art
ist in the business. His Insurance
against beauty followed casual con-
versation with a friend in one of the
,-octo,,rantc
"Howdy, John, you are looking
handsomer every time / see you"
said the friend idly, little dreaming
that he was taking away the big fell
lows appetite.
"Heaven forbid" calculated Bunny.
"Are you joking or in earnest?" The
man assured the actor that he was
serious, telling Bunny that he really
thought he was getting handsome.
"Why, man, I cannot stand to get
good looking" shouted Bunny in gen
uine panic 1--WE got to stop it. 1t
would ruin my business"
"Why not insure your face?" sug-
gested the friend, who was an insur
ance agent Bunny jumped at the
and promptly took out a
$4,000 policy against fatal beauty.

The coming of Honey Boy Evans
to The Playhouse, afternoon and night,
December 8. recalls the inaugural ap-
pearance of this favorite little monolo-
gist at the head of the first Honey
Bow" Minstrels. under the direction OF
Cohan and Harris. Evans was the
featured star of that big assemblage
of stars. but he did not become sole
owner and proprietor until the middle
of the second year of the Cohan and
Harris tour; il was in February, 1910,
that Evans bought out Cohan and Har-
ris. and assumed his managerial dig
nifty. This may appear to have been
a daring plunge for a young fellow
supposed to be only a black face
comedian. but though he is now only
forty years of age, George Evans has
been for years minstrel enthusiast.
He was one of the original Minstrel
stock company at the Bush Street
Theatre. San Francisco. Evans was a
baliod singer in Haverly's Big Mas
todon Troupe So it may be seen that
he chad been 20 school in minstrelsy,
long before the Cohan and Harris VEN
ture. This year. the seventh Of the
Honey Boy" Minstrels, finds George
Evans as enthusiastic about the possi-
bihties of Americas time-honored en-
tertainment as he has ever been and
he contends that ministrelsy is grow
ing popular again and that the public
is as eager now as ever to applaud its
strides

DATA ABOUT NEEDY
Child Labor Inspector Will
Place Records at Disposal
of Charitable Societies
SHOW MANY FAMILIES
NEED ASSISTANCE

Since the conference between mem
bers Of the Levy Court, Trustees Of the
Poor. Associated Charities, Home Relief
Association and other charitable organi-
cations relative to disbursements to the
cty's poor, there has been considerable
discussion regarding the subject.
Child Labor Inspector William Glib
bons said this morning that according 10
the data secured in the past year there
are about 1900 families affected under the
law.
When asked how many children were
affected, MIR. Gibbons said that upwards
of 2OO0 children went to work, and IN
their families fully $500 or 1000 children
are affected. When asked if the data
gathered during the year could be in
spected. Inspector Gibbons replied that
the data at all times is open to inspec-
tion.
The reporter spent some time going
through the cards in the special as we'll
as the regular cases.
The data gives the names of the par
ent or parents of each child coming
under the Child Labor law.
As an instance of the investigation
a family of eleven children, with no
one working but a little girl. not yet
fourteen years Of age, was discharged.
There are numerous cases of widows
who earn 50 a week and then the lit
tie girl had to stop going to school and
go to work at $3.50 week There are
cases where the father is dead and the
only money coming into the home has
been 81 a week, earned by the mother.
Under these conditions there are
not much prospects of turkey dinners
for hundreds of families.
Mr.. Gibbons. when asked by the
reporter said he willingly would as
sist the charitable organizations by
placing at their disposal all the data
in the Office of the Child Labor Bu-
reau.

WarshipS for BeIligerentS
AFTER THE MEETING
EVERYBODY is MUM

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Secretary
Bryan yesterday invited Charles NJ.
schwab. president OF the Bethlehem
Steel Company, to the State Depart
ment and gave him the views of the
American Government on the building
OF submarines in this country for Eu-
ropean belligerents, >.
Mr.. Bryan declined to make public
the position of the American Gov
ernment He declared the question
was not yet concluded, but under
consideration" Mr. Schwab. accom-
panied by two assistants. also refused
to discuss their mission.
"Mr. Schwab came, said Mr. Bryan.
"in response to our inquiry concerning
the manufacture In this country OF
ships or materials for ship building"
Recent reports that the Bethlehem
Steel Company had contracted TO
build submarines which would be
shipped abroad in sections. have been
variously denied and partially con
hrmcd.
The visit of Mr. Schwab, however, re-
vealcd that the state Department had
taken official cognizance OF the subject
although Secretary Bryan announced
yesterday that Government agents
after n thorough investigation. had been
unable 10 learn that anv work was
being done anywhere IN this country in
the construction of foreign warships or
parts thereof
1t was believed. however. that the
state Department desired 10 consult
with the steel company officials so there
would be no violation of neutrality il
contracts were taken. While the export
Of munitions of war, such as guns
shells or ammunition. is not prohibited
by the neutrality laws, the fitting out
OF warships or any armed expedition
from American soil would be considered
a violation.
During the Russo-Japanese War,
however. an American firm built the
parts OF several submarines, consign-
ed them 10 its own agency In Russia
and then sold them to the Russian
/ Government Although the transac-
ton was kept secret until the shin
ment was concluded. Il was generally
held al that time that no law had been
violated.
Mr.. Schwab recently returned from

and England. On his return. IL wal
said, he brought contractors for man,
