 Despite Huertas assurances on landing yesterday that ne would do nothing while here to violate the neu- trality of the United States, it was re- ported today in Mexican circles that important conferences would be held here at once to determine whether the time was ripe for Huerta to i'm terfere in Mexico, rally his old bat talions to his support and attempt to put down the factions contending for the control of that country. It was said that agents of the federal gov ernment here were keeping a close watch upon his movements.

Pending re- ceipt of this information the mer- chant raider, which still is at anchor age in the James river. will not be allowed to go into the dry dock at the ship yard here.
 Captain Thierfelder had promised his formal application today.
 A survey of the Wilhelm will he made by board of naval experts to determine the necessary repairs, but the boards findings will be kept a secret by the federal authorities.
 A preliminary survey by experts from the ship building company here disclosed that at least three weeks will be required to make the Wilhelm seaworthy. The ship was found to be leaking badly and her boilers are in bad condition. The leaks were caused by loosening of plates as & result of frequent coaling at sea and ramming merchantmen when shots failed to sink them.
 Rear Admiral Beatty, commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, under instruc- tions from Secretary Daniels, has given permission for certain of tho Prinz Eitel Friedrich officers to visit Rich mond and Petersburg, Va. The ad- miraI also has been authorized to use his discretion in permitting the off, ficers to go wherever they visa.

THERE is honor among
l. some thieves
But for downright
treachery, mean, despic-
able, cheap, dirty trickery
and deceit, The Seattle
Lighting company takes
the grand prize.
Two or three months
ago, when the city's case
against the gas company
came up before the public
service commission, the
.company's attorneys and Of
ficers entered into a stip-
ulation with the city TO re-
duce the minimum rate for
gas from so cents 10 IS
cents a month.
II was a pledge of good
faith. They gave their
words OF honor. And the
city's representatives and
the public service commits
sion believed the gas mo-
nopoly would keep its word.
So the case wasn't push
ed to a conclusion. And
the public service commits
sion issued no order. For
the gas company had given
its promise.
The gas barons promised,
but they omitted to live up
TO the promise. The so
cent minimum is still being
grabbed by the company.
And il will keep on grab
bing the double charge un-
til the public service COM
mission issues a formal
order to stop it.
II is up to the state COM
mission to act-and act at
once. The order should
be issued without delay.
Let's have no further
dallying.
A thief is bad enough.
A thief without vestige of
honor is the veriest scum
of the earth.
