THE END
RELATIONS WITH MEXICO IN.
TENSELY STRAINED.
HUERTA DETERMINED TO STAY
United States May Raise Embargo
and Permit Constitutionalists
to Buy Arms.
Washington, D. C Contrary (o hla
usual custom of putting asido official
business on Sunday, President Wil
son worked all day on tho Mexican
problem. Ho summonod Senators Bo
rah and McCumbor, ropubllcan mem
bers of tho senate foreign relations
committee nnd discussed tho situa
tion with them for almost two hours,
llo also had a conference with Secre
tary Bryan.
From tho way tho president's call
ers talked tho situation is rapidly ap
proachlng a climax and somo definite
developments aro expected immedi
ately. Officially, no copy of tho state
ment of Provisional President Huerta
to tho diplomatic corps had been re
ceived nor had tho formal reply to
tho American domand that Huerta re
sign arrived.
Tho next Btep, in the view of some
of thoso who havo talked recently
with tho president, prpbably will bo
an announcement by tho United
States not only reiterating its refusals
to recognize tho Huerta government,
but making It clear to tho world that
it also shall refuse to recognize any
acta of tho new congress soon to bo
convened by Huerta.
WIN Not Guarantee.
Tho Washington government, it Is
understood, will not undertake to
guaranteo business or commprclal re
lations with the Huerta regime and
will probably stand by any legally
constituted govornmon,t which In tho
future may repudiate the loans or
transactions of tho present govern
ment Senators McCumber and Bo
rah declined to talk of what the presi
dent had told thoni in their confor
enco ,but they expressed tholr own
vlows later. Senator Borah told the
prosldent in his opinion, even should
Huerta accede to tho American re
quest for his resignation ,at this time
thoro would bo no responsible person
or persons to establish a government
Tho Idaho sonator suggested that If
tho embargo on arms wero lifted tho
constitutionalists probably could take
possession of tho reins of government
in Mexico City in about thirty days,
and that the Unltod States should
giro thorn an opportunity to establish
thomsclves. Should thoy fall ho bo
lleveB tho United States might con
sider ther steps.

Bona Fide Residence Qualification.
If otherwise qualified, it is not es
sential ,that the signer of a potition

good faith, according to a stato su

The contention was mnde in the lower
court that not thirty freeholders had

fication Is bona fide residence and
