1 Houston Pott Staff Correspendent i
: WASHINGTON" August . Congress-
man Stephens dean of the Texas Con-
gresslonai delegation today Introduced In
the House a Joint resolution declaring
no established Government worthy of
. - recognition now exists In: Mexico but
'that a state of war prevails and the
' parties thereto are entitled to belliger
ent rights. As ir is the desire of Con-
gross to remain neutral and retain .the
' good will of the contending factions ren-
"derlng aid to neither the resolution oalls
for the repeal of the resolution passed
' in March of 1913 authorising the Presi-
dent to prohibit the exportation ot arms
;ftnd munitions of war Into Mexico.
;:;' . Mr. Stephens Made Statement":'
' In discussing bis resolution and the
y'- resolutions which prompted its introdue-
' tkm Representative Stephens V tonight
said: ' . ' ';'"
"The United States was .in my Judg-
ment Justified in recognizing the.Madero
Government in Mexico and If . Madero
vwas the constitutional - President of.
Mexico' he would remain so until ht.
successor were elected and qualified. He
baa no legal successor- but has been
murdered and an assassin - now pur
" norts to bold his office. Therefore' I
am of the opinion that this Admtnlstra--
tion is right in .not acknowledging the
Huerta' Government and If so it fol-
dws thai there is "no legal da facto or
de" Jure Oovernment in Mexico. We
'should not favor one warring faction as
against another. - ' !ii
We should permit the Mexicans tov
fight out-their own- differences in -their
own way -and buy any and everythiBf
thev need from the United states fof
the purpose Of earrylBt m' Cbelr war.
We should not intervene tmtuwe. gn
the Constitutionalists an equal opportu
' nltjr with the usurper Suertaw ' ' .
eileve Conatitutionalttta MoaeaVt:';
'"I believe the ConitltutlonallsU are
honest in their efforts to secure the lib-
erty of Mexico's downtrodden ' masses
and I desire to see them have the same
right to secure war supplies that ws are
according the : Huerta . faction. If my
resolution is. passed I believe. Huerta-
will be driven from power In' 10 days
and that a long step toward. the estab-
lishment of a stable Oovernment 'in Mex-
ico will be taken without the necessity
of Intervention on our part f : n. . -
7 do not believe any foreign power
should 'endeavor to force this Govern-
ment to intervene in Mexican affairs. I
' think capitalists who have made 'heavy
investments In Mexico are responsible
largely for this intervention talk their
desire being tn-my .judgment to use
' the United States to collect their alleged
damages against Mexico. If a Govern-
' ment arises out of the present clash of
armies it will be easy for the . United
States to settle damage claims of her
cJtUens without intervention."

turned expectantly to the capital if the
Southern Republic for the next develop
ments. Secretary: Bryan expects Mr. Lind
to be In Mexico City: by the' end of. the
Week. . He may. take passage from Oal
veston to Vera -Crus on tlis battleship
New. Hampshire one of the ships of the
Oulf patrol. If he desires to do so. The
Navy -Department 'has not yet been anted
to provide a ship but is prepared to on
account of the demoralised condition of
railroad traffic on the overland route to
MeXlOO. (J -.!'"! i -'.. '..''.
r tittle Information was divulged - at
either the White House or the State De
partment as to the character of the mis-
sion entrusted to Governor Lind but the
general Understanding in official circles
is that -he carries broad powers for a
most delicate task.
i Administration officials will not admit
that Mr. Lind is to attempt to mediate
between' the Haerta Oovernment and tbe
revolutionists or even Indirectly endeavor
to-bring about a settlement. There is
however less secrecy about tbe results
desired than' the method by which they
re to be obtained.
' Want Huerta to Retire.
It is openly admitted that the retire
ment of Huerta In favor of a provisional
President acceptable -to both sides who
would conduct constitutional elections and
set up a Oovernment to which ths United
States would ' extend recognition Is the
thing the American Oovernment would
like to see happen.
Latin-American diplomats here are
watching the course of the Washington
administration with keen Interest. Some
are doubtful of the efficacy of the present
plan in Mexico. President Huerta's state
ment' of last Saturday that he would
brook no foreign interference in Mexican
affairs was recalled in discussion of the
matter. - ' -v
Constitutionalists Are Silent.
The. Constitutionalists here are silent
about the prospective mission of Mr. Lind
and while privately some of them do not
ilk the Idea of foreign Interference in
Mexican politics any movement that has
for its aim the uprooting of the Huerta
regime meets with their approval.
.. Officials realize the delicacy of the work
before Mr. Lind and are fully aware that
tha strongest obstacle he will encounter
wilt be the National pride of Mexicans
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
however are relying on the discretion end
tact of their envoy with a high confi-
dence that his mission will be successful.
Mr. Lind has been given the names of
prominent Mexicans to whom he will ex-
plain the views of the American Oovern-
ment. ... . . .
Bayard Hale Will Aid.
William Bayard Hale unofficial repre-
sentative of President Wilson now In
Mexico Clt it Is said will help put Mr.
Lind in touch with the leading residents
of the Mexican capital.
While the President's representative
may not deal directly with the Mexican
authorities. It Is certain that within
short time he will have communicated the
Ideas of the administration to all inter-
ested parties In the revolution.
Secretary Bryan today Instructed ' the
Collector of Customs at New York to ex-
tend the usual customs courtesies shown

countries proceeding to their posts via
the United States to several Mexican offi-
cials shortly to arrive in that port

legislative branch to make its peace with
the executive. The legislators he
averred had riot taken the Governor Into

No little had been said previously about
oandldates for tha Governorship and about
the penitentiaries. That really was the I
clue with which .. the speaker began. ' "I !
wonder" said he "what ths Governor has
to do with the penitentiaries; that Is up
to ths Legislature."' He went on to sav
that the penitentiaries were only the be-
ginning of a 'Governor's troubles and he
evidently coupled the thought of a second
extra session with penitentiary legisla-
tion. In this connect ion he declared that
he had exercised the pardoning power
freely and although he hed been criticised
whatever his course might be he pro-
posed to exercise the same power freelV
and fearlessly in future whenever In his -Judgment
a pardon ehould be granted.
With reference to the penitentiary
commissioners be earns to their defense
to the extent of saying that they are
better by 400 per cent than many of their
eritlaa. though he disclaimed reference
to any member of the legislature in
making this remark. :
He declared that they had had a hard
situation to deal with and that other men
would perhaps have done no better in
the same circumstances.
