sciifnflie o the International Xcwn
Service in .Veil) l'orfc and in

tohich the former Mexican dictator had
formerly icfuscd to discuss These iccre
particularly the question of Amcilean in

such action. The statement follows
By VICTORIANO HUERTA
(Ex-President of the Republic of .Mexico.)
CaprlBht, 1(11,1, li tho International News
frervlce.
Nf:V OHK. April 17. Mexico mutt
save Itself. Intervention by the (.'tilted
States Is not the solution. It would tnlto
the t'nlted StnUn many venis nnd tho
sacrifice of miliums uf men befote it
could bring older out of chaos in (Mex
ico, liven then It would not be abso
lutely ceilaln that the impioved condi
tions In .Mexico would bo peimauetrt,
Mexico would resent Intervention by tho
(. nlted States in tin same way as n
man would rese.nl Intervention by hU
neighbor If he had domestic tiouble, an I
in tho same way that the United Stni"i
would have resented Inteivcntiun dining
it Civil Wat.
The t'nlted States would not liavo tho
good-will of the Mexicans if it Inter
vened. The factions that arn at war
now would band together and piesent
n solid front to the United States. Ami
the vvmfnre would be a blttci one mid
would last Indefinitely. The United
States has n population of over 90.0CO.0OJ,
Mexico's Is only 16,000,000. Despite this
big advantage In numbers the United
States would be confronted with a huse
tatik In subduing Mexico, because tho
Mexicans would be fighting on their own
boll and the warfaro would be of a
guerrilla nature.
I do not care to place mself in tho
position of piophesylng as to who the
Mexican will bo who will lead tho coun
Ity Into peace and prosperity. He may
be one of the big men In Mexico today,
and he may be a man of the future. Hut
sooner or later he will rise to power
and Mexico will be saved.
1 do not care to discuss iiuestious di
rected nt mo lelatlve to my future as
far as Mexico H concerned. I have
be$n asked numeious times ff I again
would take the Presidency of Mexico
Such questions I cannot answet.
I love Mexico nnd 1 love Its people 1
nm willing to Iny down my life for tho
cause of Mexico. 1 resigned the presi
dency because I felt at the time that such
an action would he for tho best Interests
of Mexico and I am willing1 to devote the
rest of my life to serving Mexico In any
way that will help It.

Wilson to Be Newspapermen's Guest
WASHINGTON. April 17. President
Wilson todny announced he would go to
New York Tuesday for tho annual lunch
eon of members of the Associated Pi ess,
returning to Washington the same night.
C TATEMENTS were made at a public hearing in Harris-
burg the early part of April that prove the FALLACY
of Prohibition.
T N THE presence of thousands of persons these statements
were made and their accuracy was not questioned or
combatted. They were FACTS and could not, success
fully, be refuted.
1 DRINKER
PROHIBITION
DRINKERS
pHE FULL force of this FACT becomes apparent when
it is realized that a Prohibition law is put into effect to
Prohibit the sale of liquor, and that, instead of accomplish
ing this, it goes to precisely the other extreme, and doubles
the drunkenness over States that have no prohibition laws !
f"VNCE MORE is Prohibition shown as a FALLACY
and once more is the FACT made manifest that all
Prohibition does is merely to prevent the regulated and
legalized sale of liquor.

enrs. was rewarded today when the
span was dedicated In the ptcsence. of
the Major, his Cabinet, Select nnd Com
mon Council members and other municipal
oflldals.
The elaborate ceremonies attracted
hundreds of residents of thnt section of
tho city. Although tho bridge has been
In use for moro than n month the formal
dtdlcitlon was postponed thnt the exer
cises might be held under more favorable
weather conditions.
At 1:30 o'clock a luncheon wns given
In the Point Bree7o Office of the United

nttended by tho Mayor and members of
Councils representing tho wards benefited
by the opening of the bridge. Addresses
were made by the city's Chief Execu

the bridge, where nn Immense gathering
of school children sang appropriate songs.
The structure wns officially accepted
as city property by the Mayor, after which
addresses wero made by persons who
have been prominent In the fight waged

The new span Is nn Important addition

Facts Versus
Fallacies
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument.
TN ANSWER to the FALLACY that liquor is largely
x responsible for crime, one speaker stated the FACT that
"the most murders last year were
Memphis, and the least in the
T UT EVEN more illuminating was the statement made
by another speaker. Said he : "We are able to prove,
by statistics, that there are more than twice as many arrests
for drunkenness, pro-rata, in Prohibition States, than there
are in non-Prohibition States."

iMUMBAflalt VETOES nms
ON imiDtiES AND ESTATES
Questions Constitutionality of Act
Exempting Municipalities From
Tnxntion.
HAIlRlSBUna, April 17,-Oovernor
Brumbaugh today vetoed bills exempting
municipalities from taxation on capital
stock, or bridge companies In certain
clrcumstnncca and relating to the nd
minletrntlon of Intestate decedents.
The Governor now has vetoed IS bills.
In vetoing the bridge bill, which t
plles to the capital slock of bridge com
panies owning bridges wholly or partly
without municipal limits, nnd exempting
the capital stock and bonds of such com
panies from Stale tnxntion, tho Governor
gives these ns his reasons:
This hill contemplates the exemption
of the capital stock and bonds of cer
tain bridges from Stale taxation. The
roiistlttttlOn, nrtlcle IX, section 1, re
quires nil taxes to be uniform upon
the same clasnes of subjects within
tho territorial limits ot tho authority
levying the lax. This exemption of
said power Is of uncertain propriety
within the inclining of the constitu
tion. If there are le bo exemptions
of securities held by municipalities,
these exemptions should bo general
nnd not special
An a reason for 'withholding approval
of the bill relating to ndmlnlstrntton ot
the estates of Intestate decedents, tho
Governor snys the bill defines a method
of procedure in the administration of
the such estntes which Is of doubtful
constitutionality.
