VILLAS PRESIDENT
FL0UTSMR. WILSON
Declares Mexico Will Defend
Her Dignity if United States
Interferes.

Francisco Lagos Chazaro. the latest
president of the Villa -Zapata coalition
government in Mexico City. today re-
piled to President Wilson's Mexican
statement by challenging tho consis-
tency of the Presidents declaration
with his much discussed Indianapolis
speech.
President Wilson's statement served
notice on the factional leaders that II
they could not accommodate their diff
ferences the United States would be
constrained as Mexico's next friend to
help Mexico save herself and serve her
people.
Chazaro says the convention govern
ment cannot reconcile that with the
Presidents declaration in Indianapolis
that he had no disposition to interfere
in Mexican affairs.
But" says Chazaro's reply, received
today at the State Department. we
idea of President Wilson's proclama-
tion is to help us in friendly way"
Talks of Dignity.
If the Presidents declaration is to
be construed as a threat. Chazaro adds.
the convention government will main
tain the dignity of the Mexican people"
1t blames the Carranza forces for Mex
ico's plight.
Astounding in epigram, ChaZaro's re-
ply makes extended references to eco
nomic and social reforms" the estab-
lishment of a stable government and
guarantees to life and property 1t
makes no reference to recognition by
the United States. Its text will bo
made public later.
Chazaro's hostile reception Of the
Presidents statement. coming close on
Gen. Villas reply. which decidedly re-
fected receptive mood, stirred up
good deal of attention In official cir
cles. Chazaro is supposed to be a villa
man.

members of the committee on immi

party upon the immigration proposal

Chinese with their wives come into

work in the territory. The full me
mortal as prepared by the Chinese and

Following a hearing of the Chinese
side of the petition at which leading

father of the Burnett bill; J. H. Moore
of Pennsylvania and Albert johnson

terest i'm the plea Of the Chinese. The
restrictionists presenL expressed the
fear that If 10000 Chinese came into
Hawaii the labor problem might be
solved but a greater one would be
present. -.
The opinion of the committee mem
bers is varied, however, and the ques-
ton will be threshed out in washing

committee said:
