Vessels Will Be Kept in Mexican Waters Just as Long as It Is Necessary. Washington.?So far as the Washington administration is concerned, it became known that no move is contemplated in the Mexican situation at present. The elections of October L'G aire awaited here with keen interest, and the next step in the policy of the United States is likely to make its appearance thereafter. Administration officials read long excerpts of General Huerta's message to the Mexican congress published in Washington, but no formal comment was made. It is understood that the administration does not attach much importance to the document, though there are passage in it which did ant. pass without careful notice. The references to the expiration of the period during which American warships were authorized to remain in Mexican waters caused some discussion. Inasmuch as the ships are permitted to remain another month, or until after the general elections are held, no statement of policy in this connection is likely to he made until that time. Informally officials let it be known that the vessels would be kept in Mexican waters indefinitely if the United States deemed it necessa .? mi i lie IHOU-IIIUII Ol IIS IlUllOnUIS.

Mexico City.?Provisional President Victoriana Hucrta delivered his semiannual message at the opening of the j second session of the Twenty-seventh Mexican congress. In it. he promised to spare no efforts to bring about the unrestricted election of the president and vice president of tlte Mexican republic next month, declaring that it would constitute the greatest. triumph of his career to turn over the office to his successor with the country at peace as he hoped to do. i General lluerta said the strained diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States had caused the Mexican nation to suffer unmerited afI diction, and had retarded the pacification of the country. Nevertheless he hoped for an early solution of the i differences between the two nations and to see Mexico and the United States once more united in bonds of friendship. The message was disappointing to I many who had expected that Provisi ionnl President liuerta would deal at ' changes. This subject, however, he said, "being so delicate and the permanent commission of congress being already informed," he passed with a bare mention. r ?????????? VICTORY FOR THAW IN COURT U. S.

Wrigbi Makes Plea for Correction of the Election Laws. Atlanta. Ga. The Southern Christian Citinenship Congress, under the auspices of the Civic League of America, opened at the auditorium to the accompaniment o: near sensationalism revealed in the address of A. J. Orem of liostoti, who. in his treatise, styled "From Theocracy to Theocracy," all but put outright Socialism into the hook of good citizenship. Owing to ltis presence at the capitol, where he sat late in the matter of the McN'aughton pardon arguments. Gov. John M. Slaton was unable to preside at the gathering in Taft hall. Seaborn Wright of Rome, Ga., closed the evening session with an impassioned appeal for a correction of the election laws. In introducing Mr. Orem us the principal speaker of the evening, William 1) .1'pshaw declared that he had given the principal orator carte blanche in the matter of subject and text. Mr. Orem lived up to his rights. In part, he said: "Greater problems confront the present generation than have confronted any previous generation in the history of the world. Present day questions are broader and more worldwide than former ones. Their consideration must, be of broader scope. I believe that modern intelligence Ts being directed, however, to their successful solution. "All forms of government have been tried witli more or less success. If i government administration is in the ! interest of a few, disregarding the rights of the many, government will he bad. no matter what the form. Modern civilization is tending towards democracy. Nations are more and more being educated to recognize the I rights of the individuals. Kconomic j problems and social problems will nev- 1 er he solved until governments arc administered with due regard to hu- | man rights. Human rights should ho I more sacred than property rights. "A more intelligent distribution of wealth will insure more prosperity ; and happiness. To this end each man ( should have what he earns and no more. He is not entitled to any portion of what other men produce except that obtained through honest bar I ter or other equitable means."

Mndero and Vice President Jose Maria Pino Sua- ! rez were not brought about by a punishable crime, according to a decision j pronounced by the military court here. The investigation lasted six months. | It was started by the military com- 1 mandant of the federal district immediately on the conclusion of the tendays' battle in the streets of Mexico last February, which resulted in Provisional President Hucrta coming into power.

Felix I Diaz, nephew of Porllrio Diaz, had been recalled to Mexico to become the ! candidate of the Huerta faction in the coming presidential election arous- I ed much interest here in official circles. The general feeling was that the return of Diaz meant a compliance with President Wilson's nrinci pal demand, that General Hnerta should not be a candidate. So far as arguing an era of peace, however, the outlook was described as discouraging. Southern Labor Congress Closes.

WILL REQUIRE A NEW ALT The Situation Now Scem3 to Be Very Serious, But it is Hoped that an Amicable Settlement May Be Reached in Near Future. Washington. ? Apprehension lest tho Democratic tariff bill load foreign Nations to Impose tariff penalties against the Llnited States us soon as the law goes into effect, caused Administration and Senate leaders to plan the introduction of a joint resolution in Congress making specific provision for the continuation of existing relations with all countries until President Wilson has time to negotiate new trade agreements. The seriousness of the situation that will confront the Administration was impressed on Chairman Simmon of the Senate Finance Commttee by State Department officials. It was po'.ntod out that the trade relations established by President Taft's proclamation under the Payne-Aldrich law of 1909 would terminate as sooif as the new law becomes effective and the United. States would then face the posibility of having higher tariff rates applied ' by many countries against its exports. While the tariff law would give the President authority to negotiate trade and reciprocity treaties it alsowould require him to apply special penalty rates against countries discriminating against the United States. To prevent the possibility of trade wars the State Department now is defining a joint resolution which will provide that existing relations shall continue for four months. At tho White House and later at the State Department Senator Simmons pointed out that it would he impossible to insert the provisions desired as an amendment to the tariff bill, because the introduction of any new matter is precluded while the bill is in conference. The provision will be put through Congress as 8. separate act. Greeks Looking For Trouble Sure. Vienna. The Greek authorities at Koritza, in Albania, seized the American mission school there, where instruction is given to nearly 100 Albanian girls.

The Greeks have also - ? arrested and persecuted a large number of Albanians who resently returned to Koritza from Ameriha and other foreign countries, releasing them from detention only when the Albanians promised to join in the agitation for the incorporation of the district in Greece. The British Consul at Monastic has entered a vigorous protest with the Greek Government on behalf of the Americans. Imposing Scene at Gaynofs Funeral,. New York. Historic Greenwood Cemetery, the resting place in Brooklyn of many famous dead, received the body of New York's late mayor, William J.
