Mit is today known to *?avo not the
slightest Intention of letting *P In W
sesitlon that governments founded upon
assassination will not ho tolerated by
this country. . . t ,a
Another question arising toda> w
whether anything short of a definite,
practical policy on the part of this coun
try win satisfy Europe at this time
Two of the greatest European powers are
said to believe that only a dictator o<
the type of Huerta can survive in Mexico,
and that constitutionally elected presi
dents. without dictator methods and au
thortty, would amount to no more than a
va* baby at a country fair. If these
powers are set In these views, they win
probably ask something stronger than
'moral suasion" on the part of t.ie unit
ed Stat**. but It is pointed out today that
r. hut Europe thinks will have litt?
ina if the thoughts are in opposition to
the view of the United States. .'n/u^u.^h
us no European country will wish to in*
??r the hostility of the administration by
antagonize a carefully planned Ameri
can program.
Blanquet May Oct Job.
There were many indications today that
Gen. Huerta i? planning to put Gen
Umrniuet in po?er as provisional presi
dent. himself retaining the position or
head of the army and "the power behind
tlic throne." That this will satisfy neither
the American administration nor the Mex
ican constitutionalists made it evident
That the present situation will not be bet
tered if this is done.
Gen. Huerta is said by his critics here
to be utterly ineapable of comprehending
the trend of public sentiment outside of
his own country uguinst him. and to bt
intent on remaining in power until driven
out. That this attitude on his part will
make the success of any further negotia
tion with blm very doubtful was the be
lief generally expressed here.
Hoberto Pasyueria. u member of the
dissolved Mexican chamber of deputies,
is ex peeled to arrive here tomorrow bear
ing an important message from Oen Car
raiu*. ehlef of the constitutionalist, to
Perez ltomero, his confidential agent
h<Mlguel Covarrubias, who yesterday an
nounced his resignation as Mex.can min
ister to Russia, is expected to come to
the United States in the near fujjjre. He
has oeen discussed as a possibility for
provisional president pendlnK the
of a legal election, providing Huerta
could be persuaded to give up hie power
through peaceful means, but Is said to be
entirely loyal to the wishes of Gen.
Oarranxa. He married an American and
has many friends in Washington.
Criticised United States.
That some comprehensive plan lor
dealing with Mexico Is expected in
Furope has been made apparent by the
receipt here of word from Charge
Ctihaughnessy, at Mexico City, telling
of the attitude of foreign diplomats sta
tioned in Mexico. While no collective
opinion was reached at the recent dlplo
matic conference in Mexico City the ma
jority of the foreigners criticised the
United States severely for not taxing
more active steps. Most of them favored
Intervention by the United States in one
form or another. The Spanish minister is
?aid to have been particularly caustic I
in his criticism of the failure ot the
United States to take action.
Word received at constitutional head
quarters today from Gen. Carranza was
to the effect that he is pushing Ins
campaign against Huerta with Increas
ing activity. Fighting is still going on
around Monterey, according to this word,
and the constitutionalist forces near the
city are being reinforced from nearby
Points. .
Apparently Hie American naval of
ficers on the warships now patrolling
the west coast of Mexico know noth- .
ing of any peril impending at San |
Tgna<-io to the French colonists there,
which formed the basis of an appeal
for their protection from the French
minister at Mexico City to Charge
O'Shsugnessy. Admiral Cowles from
his flagship California at Guaymas says I
that the Maryland, which has arrived (
at Mazatlan. the nearest port to San,
Tguacio, makes no mention of any
trouble inlaud. He reports that all is |
quiet at Mazatlan and Guaymas. The]
west coast has been pretty thoroughly
patrolled by Ameriaen warehips, and
the aunOoat Annapolis, which only re
cent!}' left Guaymas for the south, is
.yow ot^ her way back to that port.
' Decision as to Diaz.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt of the navy
today instructed Rear Admiral Fletcher
to place Gen. Felix Diaz and his party
aboard a New York and Cuba mail
steamer after the ship loaves tlir- last
Mexican port on her sallinK.
The ship has not been selected.

MEXICO CITY. October 30.?A thor

of an alleged plot against the life cf Pro
visional President Huerta, disclosed to
th? authorities by two women last night.

they declared, had offered them $500 to
Induce Gen. Huerta to visit them, so that
the plotters could have an opportunity of

| Injunction Proceedings Begun
Against New York State
Administration.
NEJW YORK, October 30.? A suit looking
to bringing the impeachment o? William
Bulser before the Supreme Court of the
United States was started today in the
United States district court here by in
junction proceedings instituted by Wil
liam H. Moore, an employe of the New
York World.
The complainant sets forth that the Con
stitution of the United States is being
violated in that the government of this
state, Sulzer having been removed, is not
under the supervision and administration
of a governor selected by the citizens of
the state. This, he contends, denies citi
zens a republican form of government as
constitutionally guaranteed.
Gov. Glynn a Defendant.
The defendants named include Gov.
Glynn and all the. state executive officers,
together with state senators and the
Judgas of the court of appeals. The plain
tiff asks that the present administration
be enjoined from recognizing the decision
of the high court of inpeachinent, and
that Sulzer be restored to office.
No Precedent for Review.
There are no precedents for the Su
preme Court reviewing impeachment
proceedings as such The injunction
proceedings filed in New York today
might come to the highest court for
review on the contention that federal
constitutional rights had been denied
to Sulzer. For that there is legal pro
vision for a Supreme Court review.
Should the case be forwarded from the (
lower court It undoubtedly would be
expedited, otherwise a decision would
not be reached in regular course much
under three years.

SPEAKS ON HOUSE FLOOR
AGAINST "ANY TRINKET"
Has Resolution Bead Extending
White House Bride Heartiest
Congratulations.
Finley II. Gray, who represents the
old Jim Watson district in the sov
ereign state of Indiana, today found
vent for his oratorical ability in de
nouncing the plans of the members of
the House to give Miss Jessie Wilson
a wedding present which will express
to the White House bride the good
wishes and the wprm congratulations
of the members of the House.
Mr. Gray said, without hesitation and
with a. set of gestures which brought
recollections of Walter Johnson warm
ing up for a red-hot delivery of a fast
ball, that as far as he was concerned
this proposed giving of a present to u
bride whom few of the members knew
was a choice and rare bit of bad taste,
and that he "absolved himself from all
connection with It."
Just to show that it was not the $5
that he minded, he waved in the air a
bit of paper, which, he declared, was
his check for that amount, and stipu-!
lated that this money would be given
by him to* allay the wistful pangs of
some little poor child who at Christ-1
mas time peers through the great win
dows of the toy shops longing and
hungering for the toys his parents can
not afford to buy?the child whom Kris
Kringle overlooks.
Best Wishes for Bride.
However, stepping shortly from this
Christmas fantasy to the present-day sub
scription list for the White House bride,
Mr. Gray, after some parliamentary diffi
culty, succeeded in having read from the
Speaker's desk a resolution which he de
clared would be in far better taste than
"any trinket" (his name for the two-thou
sand-dollar present! that the House could
obtain. The resolution was this:
"Whereas the marriage of the Presi
dent's daughter. Miss Jessie Wilson,
has been announced to be celebrated
in the people's mansion, the White
House, at an early date;
"Therefore, be it resolved. That the
members of the House of Representa
tives extend to Miss Wilson on ap
proaching this great step in life's high
way. their heartiest congratulations
and best wishes as the symbol of the
solicitude of this great nation for the
happiness and welfare of all our peo
ple."
If possible. Mr. Gray would have had
the resolution which he had framed, in
troduced in such a way that it would
have been a part of the measures Intro
duced at today's session, but Representa
tive Pou of North Carolina objected and
blocked this. However, Representative
Gray was allowed to have his substitute
wedding present resolution read as a
matter of information to the House.
Money to Go to Charity.
Mr. Gray then produced his check for
So and offeredT it to Christmas* charity.
He was interrupted once or twice, and as
he had only three or four minutes for
his Ideas, lie w%s forced to ask that he
be allowed to "extend his remarks in the
Record."
sRepresentative Mann of Illinois, who
started the movement to give the White
House bride a present from the House,
said he would rather not have this done
he wanted to hear all of Mr. Gray's ideas.
Representative Gray thereupon asked Mr.
s Mann to make a reply, not from polit
ical grounds, but from the standpoint of
Jeffersonlan simplicity. Mr. Mann's reply
was short:
"After hearing the gentleman from In
diana," he said. "I think it would be
hopeless to try to put into his soul the
expression which tinds itself in the heart
of every other member of this House.
Other members do not need to be told
why."
That was the end of the incident,

BUSH TO SEE "POLO" GAME.
British Newspaper Illustrates Crowd
at World's Series Opener.
LONDON, October 30.?Americans in
London are being hugely amused over a
curious blunder made by one of the il
lustrated papers here showing a picture
of the crowds besieging the gates of the
Polo Grounds in New York on the day
of the first game of the world's base ball
championship, under the caption. "Polo
is popular in New York." Beneath the
photograph there is further explanation
which reads as follows:
"The Polo Ground in New York was
rushed by an excited crowd when the
gates opened for the. first game of a
world series. The police were bowled
over like ninepins, and many people did
not pay for admission."
The parties responsible for the blunder
have since learned that all Is not polo
