voy Of the American executive.

ton given to OShaughnessy, and he
was told that President Wilson had
not altered in any way his determi
nation to refuse recognition to the
present Mexican Government. The
conference was held here in order
that OShaughnessy might receive and
give information that it would have
been difficult to cable. The charge
d'affaires was summoned here in or

wild reports that would probably have
followed a visit of Mr.. Lind TO the
Mexican capital.

TOO LATE: To
QUIZ, SAYS
DICTATOR
"HeII Will Hold Both Wilson and
Myself Before | Resign"
He Tells Caller.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The New
York World to-day published the fol-
lowing special dispatch from Mex
leo City:
Hell will hold both Woodrow Will
son and myself before l resign" said
Dictator Huerta to-day to an Ameri-
can visitor who called at the national
palace.
THE time has gone past when
will give the slightest consideration
to any proposition that l leave the
Presidency Once l might have re-
signed at the bidding of almost any
one, but now-NO! 1t is not ques-
ton of pride, ambition or pomp with
me, but duty-nothing else.
What does Northumberland
Of Mexico, or of what kind of govern
ment its people need? Nothing. He
does not understand that Mexico is
like snake, with its life in its head.
And they will have to batter this old
head off my shoulders before they kill
me or my Government.
They say l have no more money.
They do not know what they are talk
ing about. II shows how ignorant are
people who make such statements as
to the resources of Mexico.
DO you know how many hacien-
das-not ranches, but haciendas-
there are in this country? Seventy
thousand of them. and all great ha-
ciendas, most of which are untaXed.
Each is capable of being taxed at
least 5000 pesos-$2, 500. That makes
350,O00,000 pesos. or $175,000,000, /
can put my hands on when | want to.
My Government is far from bank =
ruptcy, no matter whether the for
eign bankers choose to let me have
money or whether they refuse. 1t
makes no difference to me"

| LOCKERS
STATUS To
BE FIXED
At ONCE
Committee Regarded as Liberal,
but Stiff Fight Is Forecast
in Council.

Settlement Of the status OF
locker clubs in Atlanta for an
other year will be determined at
once, according to statement
Thursday by Councilman A. R.
Colcord, chairman of the newly
appointed Police Committee, who
announced that he would call his
committee together and with the
other members make a personal
inspection of all the clubs in the
city.
This committee likely Will report on
| the applications of clubs for renewal
OF licenses at the meeting of Council
on January 10. Then members or
Council as well as members of the
Police Committee will have a say As
to whether licenses shall be renewed.
| New Committee Liberal
The policy of the new Police Com
mittee is generally regarded as lib
eral. even forbearing to the point of
| declining to revoke any licenses.
Strong outside influences and a num-
Der Of members of Council take tile
view, however, that some of the
| clubs are without the law and must
| be closed.
Little opposition to any of ths
l 10
the members of the Police Committee
| but when the applications reach
Council a stiff fight against some OF
the clubs is predicted
The fact that the Police COMMITTEES
| is seemingly complacent over the
| agitation against the clubs Is most
| favorable for the clubs The Police
| Committee will do all the investigat-
ing and If it chooses not to report
| unfavorably on any of them it will
be hard indeed for the other mem
| bers of Council to obtain any definite
evidence that would be sufficient to
| revoke a license; though Council has
| the power to revoke a license with
or without cause.
Renewal Not Up Till July.
Besides Councilman Colcord the
| other members of the committee are
J. III. Harwell, Jesse =. Lee, jess,
Armistead and Frank II. Reynolds
The renewal of near" beer licenses
does not come up until July There
are mutterings around the City Hall
that some saloon licenses are to be-
revoked, particular cases being sa-
loon pronrietors who have been very
active politically Some members of
Council declare that wh~1 the right
time comes they will not hesitate to
speak openly and demand that the
saloon of one man, who has taken a
prominent part in city ~olitics. be
closed.
Again the Police Committee Is ex-
pected to be a barrier between the
radical members and the revocation
of licenses. At least that is what all
the political experts say. And the
Police Committee, appointed bv
Mayor Woodward. will be carrying
out Mayor Woodward's policy and
will have his support, if the gossips
can be believed.

Lower Car Steps
Ordered by City
As Tight Skirt Aid

MACON, Jan. S.-Council has

step changes made at once.
