I Denver, Colo., Nov. 20. After filling i
the night clerk ut an' uptown hotel j
with stories ot- bis hair raising ad-j
ventures in the wild and woolly west, J
a bandit early today wrote the follow-'
ing note and handed it to the clerk:
"ily Dear Boy The boss from our
gang wants that 1 should hold up this
house. Thanking you for that money,
. Yours, Dick."
When the clerk failed to take the
obvious hint in the note, the robber
resorted to less polite, if more conven
tional methods, and shoved a gun in
his victim's face. The clerk then
handed over about $10 in loose change
and the "bad man" departed. A few
minutes later, u man who gave his
name as Frank Miller and said he
came here from Colorado Springs, was
arrested. The police say he con
fessed the robbery.
FIRST MEETING
TODAY OF NEW
CONGRESS
SPECULATION ATTACHES TO ACTION
OF HUERTA AFTER CONGRESS
MEETS EUEVED HE MAY RE-
SIGN-MS DAYS AS A DICTATOR
ARE ENDED.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 20. The I
eyes of official Washington were turn
ed today on the Mexican congress and j
Huerta's message on his recent as-1
sumption of dictatorial powers. The
possibility that the new congress
might act ou concessions discredited
In advance by the United States was
thought in many quarters to be a
pivot on which the next move by this
, government might turn. Those who
have been of the opinion that Huerta
would retire after his acts had been
ratified by the congress, still held con
fidence in their theory. So far as can
be learned, the American government
means to continue its plan of financial
blockade with diplomatic pressure
from without.
The closing feature of Huerta's
message, in which, after proposing the
sanction of congress, he added that if
this was withheld and authority en
trusted to another he and his min
isters were agreed in advance to ac
cept such a result, waB regarded with
some significance as if indicating that
Huerta himself was at last recogniz
ing the possibilities of his own elimi
nation. I
Some officials . declared there was
t o new move in prospect for the im
mediate future. It was also said that

been one of the reasons why General
Huerta so .obstinately opposed the
pressure brought to bear on him by
the United States and other nations
to withdraw and efface himself. The
provisional president is said by those
believed to be in a position to know,
to have been persuaded that he must
resign and to have named Manuel
Garza AJdage, .farmer minister of ttee
interior as the man he desired to
succeed him, when the insistence of
John Lind, the personal representa
tive of President Wilson, on the aboli
tion of the new congress, caused him
tr change his attitude and reject the
idea of resigning.
Up to the moment of the last rep
resentation made to him by John
Lind, the friends of the provisional
piesident, say he frequently eulogized
Senor Aldage as one of the most )
worthy to be head of the Mexican gov
ernment, and he appeared to look
with some degree of equanimity on
the idea of turning over the presi

Washington, D. C, Nov. 20. Presi
dent Wilson, it became known today,
interprets the situation in Mexico
City to indicate that the Huerta gov
ernment is disintegrating and that
Huerta eventually will be eliminated.
The president said no summary In
structions had been sent to Charge
O'Shaughnessy and that no positive
steps or actions not already published
had been taken. The first official in
terpretation of the parleys at No
gales between William Bayard Hale
and the constitutionalists also came
from the white house. The president
said Hale had gone to Nogales mere
ly to Inform himself about the pur
poses of the constitutionalists and
their character. Mr. Wilson made it
plain there was nothing so formal as
negotiations, no plan of action was
debated, no names of provisional suc
cessors to Huerta were suggested nor
taken up, but that the Washington
government simply wanted to .have,
through Mr, Hale, some means ot
knowing something about the con
stitutionalists and their aims.
INTERVENTION NOT TO
BE THOUGHT OF
SO SAYS DR. WINTER IN DISCUSSION ON
FUNDAMENTAL CAUSES OF PRESENT
SITUATION IN MEXICO BETTER ERA
IS COMING, HE SAYS.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 20. "Arm
ed intervention should not even be
thought of by the United States," de
clared Dr. Nevin O. Winter, author of
several books of Mexico, in addressing
the Clark university conference of
Latin-America today on the "funda
mental causes of the present situation
in Mexico."
"From a standpoint ot dollars and
cents," he added, "it would be cheap
er for Uncle Sam to reimburse all loss
es sustained by Americans than to in
cur the expenses that intervention
would involve."
"The present disturbed condition in
Mexico is probably the final transition
the dawn of a new era. The paroxysmB
now shaking the country in rebellions
and treachery mean the recovery of
Mexico ultimately to peace and pros
perity. A strong man must arise, a
leader of enough force of character to
draw the people to him and awe any
opposing chieftain who may wish to
create trouble for his own personal
aggrandisement."
Mr. Winter compared present con
ditions to past methods of government
in Mexico, the great estates held by
the wealthy and to the system of peon
age. He said that nearly everything
complained of by the Mexicans them
selves and criticized by people of oth
er nations "can be traced either to
heredity or environment."

entire diplomatic corps was present.
General Huerta did not converse at

Washington, D. C, Nov. .20. Presi
dent Wilson is giving serious consid

in the Colorado coal strike, with a
view to settlement through federal
agencies.
Representative Keating of Colorado,
had a .long talk with the president
today and presented several telegrams
urging a federal Investigation. Sena
tors Shafroth and Thomas have asked
the president if there was not some
way by which the board of mediation
could interpose its good offices. Mr.
Keating urged that the department of
