REFUSES SUFFRAGE PETITION.
PRESIDENT DECLINES TO AID
SUFFRAGETTES.
Says He is Interested in Subject, but
Rcitcratcs His Former Statement
That Female Suffrage is State
Issue and Must be Acted on by
States.

Washington, Jan. 6.-President
Wilson declined today for the sixth
time since he entered the White House
to support a federal constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage. When
a delegation Of Democratic women,
who declared they had helped elect
him, presented a plea that he support
the proposed amendment he reitrat-
ed his previous declaration that he
considered suffrage a State issue.
Mrs. George A. Armcs, president of
the District of Columbia Wilson and
Marshall League; Miss Alberta Hill,
Of New York. and DR.. Frances Nc
Gaskin. spokesman for the delegation,
reminded the president that the house
would vote on the suffrage amend
ment January IL.
Il am most unaffectedly compli-
mented by this visit that you have
paid me-" the president told the wo-
men. II have been called on several
times to say what my position is on
the very important matter that you
are SO deeply interested in. 1 want
to say that nobody can look on the
fight you are making without great
admiration, and I certainly am one
Of those who admire the tenacity and
the skill and the address with which
you try to promote the matter that
you are interested in.
But am tied to conviction which
I have had all my life that changes
OF this sort ought to be brought
about State by State: If it were not
matter of female suffrage, if it
were a matter Of any other things
connected with suffrage, 1 would hold
the same opinion. 1t is 4 long-stand-
ing and deeply matured conviction on
my part and, therefore. I would be
without excuse to my own constitu-
tional principles If lent my support
to this very important movement for
an amendment to the constitution of
the United States.
Frankly, I do not think that this
Is the wise or the permanent way to
! build. I know that you perhaps un-
animously disagree with me, but you
will not think the less of me for be-
ing perfectly frank in the avoval of
my own convictions on that subject;
and certainly that avowal represents
no attitude Of antagonism, but mere
ly an attitude Of principle.
II want to say again, how much
complimented I am by your call and
also by the confidence that you have
so generously expressed in me. 1 hope
that in some respects I may live to
justify that confidence"

WITHDRAW BORDER FORCES.
GEN. MAYTORENA DIRECTED TO
MOVE AND NOT TO MAKE
ATTACK.
Will Make Closer Study of Situation
in Various Aspccts-Change Will
Help Some.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Gutierrez
government in Mexico informed the
state department today, through the
Brazilian minister, that Gen. May
torena at Naco had been directed to
make no attack and to withdraw his
forces from the border, pending a
closer study Of the situation" in it's
military and practical aspects.
The note was dated January and
was signed by Ortiz Rodriguez, the
Gutierrez acting secretary for foreign
affairs. 1t said:
''The government Of Mexico, show
ing the best intention Of solving the
Naco case in a satisfactory manner.
today wired Maytorena to make no
attack and to withdraw his forces
from the border. AS. for the time be-
ing, the situation is so much relieved.
the foreign office at Mexico City will
take the time necessary for the pur-
pose of making a study of the case
in it's military and political aspects to
give its final decision. This course
will be followed because the acting
secretary for foreign affairs is much
occupied with recognizing the office
force and in giving attention to inn
portant international affairs"
The general understanding in off,
cial circles tonight was that the
closer study referred to probably
would develop in the conference to-
morrow or Thursday on the interna-
tional bridge at Ell Paso between
Brig. Gen. Scott, chief of staff Of the
United States army, and Gen. Fran
cisco Villa, commander-in-chief Of
the Gutierrez forces.
Latest advices from the conventioni
at Mexico City were summarized to-
night in the following from the State
department:
''The session Of the convention yes
terday was devoted to discussion as
! to whether it could admit civilians as
delegates in representation Of military
principals, and, if permitted, the ex-
tent to which such representation by
civilians could be allowed. The con-
vention came to no final decision"
The state department today an
nounced the release of Charles C.
Lockhart Of Douglas, Ariz., and an
other American who was arrested and
held by Maytorena for some days.

GOETHAI.S SAYS LANDSLIDE WILL

Channel Ample for Present Needs,
But Can't Insure Passage Of World
F1cct-Drcdscs are Kept Busy.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE possibility
OF q postponement Of the cruise Of
the international fleet from Hampton
Roads to San Francisco through the
Panama Canal. In connection with
the formal opening Of the canal and
the exposition. was suggested today
during a conference between Secre-
tary Of War Garrison and Col Goe-
thals. governor of the Canal Zone.
Though the great earth slides at
Cucuracha have apparently been con-
quered. according to Col. Cocktails
report, the earth movements continue
In the neighhorhood Of Gold Hill. At
that point tho superintendent masses
OF earth on the side Of the canal are
continuously forcing rock and soil in
great quantities into the canal prism.
The movement Is sufficiently extern
sive to require the continuous en-
ployment Of dredges to maintain the
channel.
While this can be done to meet the
needs Of the present number and size
Of the vessels that are applying for
passage. Col. Goethals reported that
he could not guarantee q channel
broad and deep enough for the great
dreadnaughts by the date they are ex-
pected to arrive at Cristobal next
spring.
The mastery Of the earth move
ments at Gold Hill Is considered only
q question Of time. when the earth
must find its equilibrium.
As the programme Of the fleet from
the time 1t gathers at Hampton Roads
to Its arrival at San Francisco Is pre-.
scribed by law the officials are now
considering whether 1t will be neces.
sary to secure special legislation In
case It II decided to abandon or post.

The collection Of taxes for 1914 has
fallen &2s.2s1.2s behind what it was

the postponement of a penalty on un.
