nervous over the Mexican situation.

months selling about thvee to five points
net. higher before the end of the firs*
hour.
Favorable weather forecasts failed to
Inspire any selling of consequence and
the market ruled firm during the middle
of the day with active months about
eight to ten points net higher on cover
ing and hull support encouraged by Sun
day's heavy rains in the central belt.
The market was quiet but steady to
firm during the middle of the afternoon

net higher on continued covering, tlie
continued lirge exports and reports to

New York. Liverpool is from 1 to 1

although there are countless rumors of

ably unaware of the fact that cotton
usually goes tip during a war or during
a panic and that the amount of waste
which a war creates adds largely to the
consumption during any crop. If war
w th Mexico really comes we will have
all of Texas trying to mine foodstuff*
for them and oats for the mules and
South-Texas Mexican labor will preclude
the possibility of a large crop of cotton
in that area. War. of course, is a dis
turbing element financially but it is not
going to disturb this cotton market fi

i pared to stay in the Mexican capital

Mexican Foreign Minister.
Mexico City.— Porttlloy Rojas, min
ister of foreign affairs in announcing
that it would be impossible to agree
to the demand of the United States
that the flag of that country be un
conditionally saluted, gave out the fol
lowing statement:
"On April 9 between 11 and noon a
boat without an American flag and
with nine marines and one officer
landed at a point called the Reach of
lturbide in Tampico. Col. Raymond
Hinojosa, who has charge of defending
that point, detained the marines and
officer and conducted them to the
presence of the general who had com
mand of the fort Ignacio Morelos Zar
agoza.
Attack by Rebels.
“It should be remembered that at
this time the port not only was under
military' control but was withstanding
an attack by rebels.
"General Zaragoza Immediately and
without even investigating the case
put the marines and the officer at lib
erty, placed Hinojosa in prison and
sent an apology to Rear Admiral
Mayo, commander of the American
fleet.
Thought It Closed.
“We thought the incident closed
but unfortunately this was not so be
cause Mayo sent to him some time
afterwards an ultimatum wherein lie
asked that a second apology be pre
sented to him by the staff of the chief
of the fort. General Zaragoza; that
the American flag be hoisted at a
public place in Tampico and saluted
by twenty-one guns and, besides, the
severe punishment of Hinojosa, stip
ulating that all tills be done within 24
hours.
“The time was later extended when
diplomatic pour parlors were begun
between the sub-secretary of foreign
affairs in Mexico, the minister being
abent at that date and continued until
now.
If Proved Blameworthy.
“The president of Mexico when in
formed of the case ordered another
Investigation of the facts and punish
ment of the guilty officer if it were
proved he was blameworthy. He also
authorized the minister of foreign af
fairs to tnciiress regret on account of
the incident. When he became aware
that the American government sup
ported the request of Rear Admiral
Mayo relative to a salute of the Am
erican flag which had not been in
sulted, he proposed to show his good
will toward the American people
though he did not think that such a
request was Just, proposing that the
flags of the two nations lie hoisted and
saluted reciprocally and simultane
ously.
Insistence.
“When the American government
did not agree witli that idea lull in
stead upon Rear Admiral Mayo’s re
quest, giving assurance that accord
ing to international practice the sa
lute would be returned by American
cannon after the salute to the Ameri
can flag, this was not accepted by
President Huerta, who insisted upon
his proposition.
“Then the American government de
termined that pour parlers be brought
to an end by ihe final decision of
President Huerta within a term which
expired at fi o’clock tonight, announc
ing that if by that time he had not
agreed to the salute of ihe American
flag as requested, the wlfalr would be
presented to the American congress
for decision.
Proposed Protocol.
“The Mexican government believing
that the salute in question was of no
importance unless previously and for
mally agreed upon by both parties,
proposed the singing of a protocol and
the minister of foreign affairs pre
sented last night a draft of such pro
tocol to the American charge d’af
faires. Nelson O'Hhaughnessy.
"(VBhauglinessy answered that he
must consult his government; that he
would advise the minister of the na
ture of this answer and this afternoon
he communicated to the minister the
fact that his government di<\ not ac
cept the idea of a. signature of any
protocol whatever but wanted an un
conditional salute of the American
flag.
Yielding to Humiliation.
"This the Mexican government re
fused, feeling it bad done all possible,
in view of the friendly understanding
between the two governments and be
lieving the acceptance of such an im
position would be equivalent to yield
ing by Mexico to humiliation. The
Mexican government is confident that
the civilized world will find its con
duct has been wise and temperate,
that it has observed all the require
ments of international law and that
the refusal to yield further is inspired
only by a regard for its honor and
dignity.”

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
The West Now Wants Representation on
American Polo Team Which Meets the
English Invaders in June
New York,—The West has come
forth with a demand for representa
tion .on the American polo team that
will do battle in Juno with the Eng
lish invaders. The western demand
is just, and one that should he grant
ed, but there is just as much chance
of it being granted as you have to
supplant Connie Mack as manager of
the Athletics. How much chance have
you ?
In years gone by the American team
has been made up of Easterners. The
Western stars never had a chance to
make the team, although some ct the
players in the sunset section of this
land are about on a par witn even the
iri’iPt brilliant dashing poloists of the
East. But it’s a dead certainty this
year that the American four .will be
chosen from among l.arry and Monte
waterbury, Foxhali Keene, Devereauz
Milburn, Malcolm Stevenson, Rene T,a
Montague and Harry Payne Whitney,
providing the latter recovers from the
injury sustainel to his wrist some
weeks ago.
All Easterners.
The chances are that the first four
mentioned will constitute the Ameri
can defenders. All are easterners.
Frederick McLaughlin, of Chicago,
one of the most daring and wonderful
polii’ players that ever rode a pony
won t get a chance to try for the team,
although the competition is “open.”
Neither will any of the groat polo
players who provide thrills along the
Pacific Coast have a chance to “horn”
their way into the line-up of the Am
erican defenders. Polo experts de
clare that such men as W. F. Dilling
ham, A. Hone, the Noton brothers and
C. A. Rice, who play on the coast, are
lust about as good at swatting the lit
tle white ball, and Just as daring in
their riding, as are any of the great
players of the East.
The Eastern faction, answering the
argument of the Westerners who wan*
representation, point to the record of
the American "Rig Four” during the
past few years, and ask if the addition
of any Westerners could have brought
about better results than did the old
“Big Four”—Whitney, Milburn, and
the Waterbury brothers—who first
took the championship cup from Eng
land and since has successfully de
fended it.
Which is n mighty good argument
at that but doesn't quite answer tho
Western quizz.
“l Think the Federal League Has a Mighty
Fine Chance For Success”—Nick Young
New York.—Nick Young, for eigh
teen years president of the National
League, seems to have signed his own
death warrant by venturing the re
mark some days ago that "I think the
Federal league has a mighty fine
Chance for succesß.’’
Such troason on the part of the
man who grabbed off money each
month for eighteen years for presi
denling the National League, Hhall
not go unrewarded, in the minds ot
organized baseball, and Jnnt now, ’tia
said, (hey are debating as to just
what method will be used in sending
Nick along to the beyond.
Shall he be shot at sunrise, strung
him front the nearest lamp post, gib
batted or fed slow poison? Those be
the questions, and just as soon as the
answer has been found Nick’s lowing
friends and relatives may begin pre-
I paring themselves to go into mourn
ing for the grand old man of base
ball, and one of the finest, sqtiarest
i men that over was connected
rile game.
As Much Ridiculed.
Young, now in retirement in his
home in Washington, Is quoted as
| saying that tbe Federal League teams
l as constituted now, seem to be even
stronger, and have more major league
calibre than did the Americun League
clubs in 1901. Young, also declared
that the American League was just
as much despised and ridiculed when
it began its fight on the Natioa.ius
as the Feds are being ridiculed today.
The situation today as regards the
Federals and organized baseball an l
that in 1901 when the American
League fought the Nationals Is just
about the same," said Young. Few
thought back In 1901 that the Ameri
can League could force recognition
from the Nationals. The chance
seemed to be against the Americans,
yet they made a big light and won
out.
A Good Chance.
"The Federals, despite the fact that
they are up against virgantzed and
well intrenched opposition, seem to
have a mighty good chance. Their
entry into the Meld brings about con
tinuous baseball in many cities that
didn’t have it before, and 1 think
that baseball has grown to such an
extent, that the fans will support
continuous baseball.
“Baseball has made wonderful
strides since I was connected with
the game, and I thluk it will continue
to advance except’ln one way- and
that is in the matter of salaries being
paid the players. 1 think baseball I
l layers’ salaries have reache! the!
limit right now. To go forther, it (
seems to mo, would lie ruinous. Tie
public supports baseball in a nice wav,
but it cannot support the clubs, and
return dividends to the stockholders.
If all the money is to he paid out to j
ball players. ,
Aid the Players,
"Baseball wars aid the players in
bringing about a boost In | ay for him, ]
but there’s always a day of reckoning.
And there’s auch a thing as killing
the goose that lays the golden egg.
A big re action is due in the matter t
of baseball salaries unless a rurb is |
applied at once. No club owner can j
pay huge salaries and make money.
And dub owners arc not in the game,
merely for their health.
“The club owner expects certain'
returns from his Investment. If he!
finds that he must give all ills profits
and perhaps some of his own money
to the flayers, thereby suffering big
financial loss, he’ll very soon r ake
some arrangement, whereby he'll get
a just return for his money. And
that will mean the ball player* will
sulTer a mighty reduction In salary
"1 do not sfiv that Trls Speaker, of
Hie Boston Red Sox. is not worth the
$1(1,000 salary that lie will get under
Ills new contract, ft's quite likely
that compared to other pla ers lie Is
wortli that much, hut I will say that
such salaries sh Speaker’s and ,h«
other stars of the game will cut n
heavily on the club owners’ bankroll
and no matter ho* big a bankroll ft
chib owner has, lie doesn't earn to j
have It drained. He puts in his time,*
Best Ponies.
"Why don't our players get an Rven
chance to try for the team?”
The American poloists this year will
use, in addition to Whitney's wonder
ful mounts, some of the best ponies
that were used in the West. Several
of those ponies which have been placed
at the disposal of the American team
when its selection finally is made are
said to be speedier .tougher, and oven
more schooled in polo skill than the
best animals in the East.
The English invaders are due to ar
rive here about the middle of May.
They' have had the “edge” on the Am
erican players because they have spent
nearly two months in practice In
Madrid, while the Americans, because
of bad weather conditions, were aide
to get down to real work only last
week.
The English already have decided
upon their team and from now until
the time they sail will spend thetr lime
developing teamwork—the most im
portant part of a polo battle. Lord
Ashby St, Leger, the backer of the 1914
Invaders, scoured the British isles for
players, and it is said that Ills 1914
team is even faster and better than
was tho wonderful aggregation that
gave the Americans sucli a terrific
battle last year.
Here is the line-up of the English
team:
No. I—Ciapt. H. Tompklnson.
No. 2—Major F. W. Barrett.
No. 3—Capt. Vivian Nockett.
Back—Major C. Hunter.
" Lockett, who was a member of the
1913 team, was considered one of the
best of the quartet, yet this year ho
had a mighty bard Job landing a place
because of the keen competition, nnd
because he was pitted against the very
best players in England,
The English mounts this year, so
say the reports, are sturdier and fast
er than last year, and well able to
stand tho gruelling task of riding at
breakneck speed, stopping stock still
in one second’s time and then speeding
along again at a whirlwind clip.
One of the excuses that England
gave last yeav for its defeat was that
its ponies weren't able to stand tho
gaff. Tho Britons brought about SIOO,-
000 worth of horse flesh with them,
and figured that out of tho lot of
about 40 ponies they would be aide to
get enough horses to last through the
game i. But after the battle they de
clared that the ponies did not live up
to expectations.
liis thoughts and money Into the pro
ject and he expects a good return.
Tlie high salaries of the present day
will mean that, few club owners,
either in the Federal League or In
the American Or National League,
will operate with even a fair profit
this year."
Allhough “Uncle Nick” ub Young u
known, has been out of the game for
many years, he is still a rabid fan,
and Boldom misses any of the games
staged in Washington.

had not lost his patience with Mexl
co, for to lose patience seemed to him
an art of weakness on tlie part cf a
person strong enough to do ;ih tie j
ought but that he felt such Incidents j
as recent ones might go from had to I
worse and eventually bring about a j
conflict.
The president added that he !
thought It was wise in tlie interests
of peaee to cut off those repeated of
fenses at an early stage
May Alter Plens.
Kvents of the day, the president in
dicated, such as a final acceptance
from Huerta, might alter Ills plans
and he, added that even the course .
of action liy the navy was dependent
upon circumstances from hour to I
hour.
When the president was asked the I
dlrei-t question If the purpose of Ills
action was to secure the elimination,
of Huerta he replied the Tampico In
cident did not involve that question, j
He replied tlie United States merely I
wanted full recognition of Its dignity
’and such a reeognlton as would con
stitute a qmirantee that such Inch
dents as the one at Tampico would i
not ret ur.
Message Ready.
The president announeetl he had his [
message ready, that It was about a j
thousand words long. lie declined to i
give out copies of It in advance as
had been the custom stylng he wanted ,
to keep It under advisement to the lust 1
minute. He arranged, however, to *
have copies given out nt the capital j
simultaneously with his delivery.
“Simultaneous.”
The use of the word "simultane- !
mis" caused a ripple of laughter among
tile president's cgller*. Home one n*k- I
erl If the word had not become ob
jectionable, but Mr. Wilson laughingly
replied that when It all came from
one side there was no objection.
The reference was to Huerta’s pro- i
posal for a simultaneous salute and
the president Indicated that by his '
answer thst 31 gun fired simultane- '
ously In salute to the flag by Huerta
woul ' be the only kind of simultane.- '
ou» salute that would be accepted.
Foreign Diplomats.
The president revealed ttint foreign
diplomats at Mexico Ulty hud been '
using tlielr good offices vylth Huerta
in an effort to Induce him to accede
but th-it no representations had been -
made to this government in any way
by other flu Hons.
Starving in the Midst of Plsnty.
