ANARCHY GRIPS
MEXICO DESPITE
President's Note, Ig
nored, Leaves Prob
lem for Administra
tion to Face.
More Than Half of Time Al
lowed Leaders for Compos
ing Differences and Restor
ing Constitutional Govern
ment Has Passed.
From a Staff Corrttpondent
WASHINGTON, July B.-Chaos
and
anarchy nre oa strongly Intrenched In
Mexico now as they were a month ago,
when President Wilson nodded tho war
ring factions thut they must compose
their differences and protect non-bclllg-ercnts
from starvation. Tho President's
note. Bent on Juno 2, carried In it u
threat that this Government would tako
means to restore constitutional govern
ment unless at tho end of CO days tho
different elements had restored order.
Tho note failed of Immediate result
Villa offerod to confer with Carranzu on
a peaceful solution. The latter, then ap
parently stronger than Villa, and contin
ually winning bnttles, declined the offer
and alro rejected tho suggestions of this
Govornment. This Government has given
no Indication of what its purpose Is if the
situation la unchanged at the end of the
CO days, which expire about August 1.
It Is thought, however, that Carranza
by that time will have shown himself so
much the superior of all other rebel lead
ers that he will convince this Govern
ment that he Is able to maintain law and
order and to restore a constitutional form
of Government. In that caso Carranza
will be recognized.
It Is because of the State Department's
belief that Carranza will be tho victor
in the next few weeks, perhaps sooner,
that the situation there la being tolerated.
At Carranza headquarters here It Is pre
dicted that the Carranza forces will cap
ture Mexico City In the next 48 hours
and will control the north as well as the
south.
At one time this Government had In
mind the recognition of a man as Con
stitutional President of Mexico who was
not engaged in the present conflict. That
man was generally believed to be Gen
eral Itlbude, who Is of a wealthy and
distinguished family. He has been hero
for months In conference with State De
partment ofllclnls. However, reports
from Duval West to tho effect that an
attempt to carry out such a proposition
-would compel this Government to go In
to Mexico and fight tho other elements
lu order to keep tho miperlmposed Presi
dent In ofllce, have caused President
Wilson to look to Carranza as tha only
hopo of restoring order In Moxlco.
Those who have followed the Mexican
problem and observed tho "watchful
waiting" policy of this Administration de
clare that the last note of the President
has had no effect toward making peace
In the fnctlon-torn country.
It la generally believed that the Admin
istration has no fixed policy aa to Mexico,
but had hopd that tho note of June 2
would havo the effect of compelling the
different elements to compose their own
troubles. Thus far It has failed to dis
turb the leaders In Mexico, who recocnlze.
that the United States cannot force Its
threat except by intervention. Some of
the leaders desire such a step.
Tho President can do ono of two things
In consistancy with his note of more than
a month ago:
First. Recognize the strongest of the
warring leaders.
Second. Send troops Into Mexico to es
tablish a constitutional form of govern
ment. The latter atep la opposed by nearly all
members of tho Cabinet. The Adminis
tration knows that the country Is opposed
to war.
Even the recognition of one of tho rebel
leaders would carry with It more than
moral support and this would involve
the United Battea In some difficulties.
The situation In Mexico Is more tense
now than It was a year ago. Tha con
dition of tho people there, the civilians. Is
worse. Starvation Is approaching and
humanity calls upon this Government to
relieve that condition.
Another and more vital situation, be
cause of ltu International aspect. Is the
demand from foreign Governments that
the United States shall be responsible to
tha respective Governments for the loss
of life and property of tha citizens of
the respective Governments.
If President Wilson has evolved any
radloal policy It Is not known here. Rut
some say that the "watchful watting"
policy waa ex-Secretary Bryan's, and
that the President will act In a way that
will astonish the country, It Mexico Is
still at war next month.

MINNEHAHA, WITH FIRE
EXTINGUISHED, IN PORT
'
Vessel Arrives at Halifax
Shortly Before 11 o'clock.
No Person Allowed on Board.
HALIFAX. N. S.. July 0. The munltlon
laden stcnmshlp Minnehaha, with the Ilro
In her hold extinguished, arrived at quar
antine hero shortly boforo 11 o'clock to
day. The vessel was not allowed to dock
nnd no ono from the shoro was permitted
to go on board.
Captain Claret would mnko no state
ment before noon.
The outcome of tho drastic Investigation'
into the cause of the fire In the hold of
tho Mlnnnehaha, which was promised by
the naval authorities previous to tho
liner's arrival In port, Is being anxiously
awaited, as It Is expected to disclose
whether the explosion of a tlmo bomb or
the explosion of ammunition was respon
sible. If caused by a bomb the belief will
be confirmed that Frank Holt, tho dyna
miter and assailant of J. Plerpont Mor
gan, was responsible.
NEW YORK, July 9. A search Is be
ing made for a man who drove Frank
Holt, tho dynamiter, on three occaslono
to the Syosset freight station for explo
sives and on another occasion was seen
with him on a trnln. Tho police say this
chauffeur is a man -of heavy build with
Bandy hair and a florid complexion, and
that ho Is believed to havo an lntlmato
knowledge of tho motives Inspiring Holt
In his crimes and of the persons who sup
plied Holt with sumclcnt money to carry
out his plans. They nro handicapped by
having neither the number of his automo
bile nor any clues as to tho locality in
which ho lives.
Soveral officials at police headquarters
are still going through a mass of cor
respondence and notes found In Holt's
rooms at Ithaca, N. Y In tho hope of
discovering something concerning tho
dead man's early history. ,

Unable to Meet Expenses
Incurred in Discharge of
Special Duty Because
Councils Failedtjto Reim
burse Him.
A special policeman who osacrta that
ho can no longer afford to retain his posi
tion becnuso Councils failed to appropri
ate funds to relmburao him for money
spent In tho dlschargo of hla duty, wroto
to Director of Public SafetytPorter today
requesting demotion.
Tho lotter points out thni the police
man spent 117 In tho last four months for
carfnro nnd obtaining evidence ngulnst
criminals, nnd that this Bum, deducted
from his salary of J17.C0 a week, hno
made It dlfllcult to support his family
nnd has forced him to abandon all
thoughts of n vacation. Ho nsserts that
without resorting to "graft" ho cannot
continue to llvo under uch conditions.
These statements, coming nfter Direc
tor Porter's assortlon that the "Depart
ment of Public Safety hns not enough
monoy to buy postage stamps" Is consid
ered significant by men connected with
the department, who point out that the
Bervlce Is not only crippled, but faces
actual disruption.
Tho seriousness of the situation was
brought to light yesterday when Director
Porter said that tho department would
mako no effort to enforen the recent
"Jitney" legislation of Councils because
What body had not provided funds to pur
chase badges nnd cards which It expected
the Department of Public Safety to sup
ply to "Jitney" operators. At the tqio
Director Porter saIcl0OT n -,,,(, '
"In tho last two, years I ha,ve spent
soveral thousand dollars of my own
money to run tho department. Councils
havo refused to appropriate money oven
for necessities for tho buroaus undor
my charge. If Councils wanted to legls
lato the Jitneys out of business they
Rhould havo appropriated money with
which I could purchase badges and
cards."
Although Director Tortcr declined to
give out the name of the special police
man who communicated with him today,
ho submitted the letter for publication.
It la as follows:
Ion. 0 tor jo I. Porter.
Director l'ubllo Batety.
Dtor Blr:
I know you will be surprised to recelvo a
letter of this kind. In wlilcti I am apply
ing for demotion. I nm a special olflcer
In tho district. During a period cov
erlna mort than four months. 1 have ad
vanced out of my own pocket for carfare
and tho Hccuring of evidence scslnst of
fenders morn than $47. My salary Is I2.&0
a day or JlT-fO week. My house rent la
J 13. and my pension and station house dues
eat up about more a month to say noth
lne of my living expenses and doctor bills,
which have been heavy of late.
My vacation starts on Saturday and I had
rlanned to take my wife and Ihree children
nvtay to the country, but I have not enough
money to pay their carfare, much less their
board. My wife and one child hate been HI
all winter, and we have nil looked forward
to two weeks in the country, but under the
circumstances we are doomed to disappoint
ment nnd must stay In tho city.
1 had eipected to recehe what
waa due
me from the city about the first of the
month, ana 1 cannot tell you my disap
pointment when 1 rend your statement In
yesterday's paper statins that no funds had
neen oroviaea ny council! lor tnis purpose.
I llko my work as a special, but It Is
impossible for mo to continue to advance
money out of my onn pocket (unless I graft,
and the temptation Is sometimes stront),
and I therefore request, it you will be kind
enough to do so. to return me to the
street In uniform.
Yours respectfully.

THAW DESCRIBES
IN CALM MANNER
KILLING OF WHITE
"I Walked Up the Aisle,
Straight Up in Front
of Him, and Shot
Him!" He Testifies.
Clear Recital Makes' Favorable
Impression on Justice Hen
drick, Who Says, "He An
swered Question Very Seri
ously and Well."
NEW YORK, July 0. "Evelyn had gono
on ahead, with Mr. Thomas McCaleb and
Mr. Tmxton Beal following. I stopped
to speak to an acquaintance I looked up
and saw Mr. White. Ho had hla arms on
tho tablo and his head In his hands when
I nrst noticed him. Then he lifted his
head nnd stared nt mo.
"I walked up tho aisle, straight up in
front of him, and shot him!"
In a well-modulated, even tone. Harry
IC. Thaw today recited his killing of
Stanford White in theso words.
"In that nil?" ha asked Deputy Attor
ney General Cook.
"Go on." said Cook.
Thaw's attorneyn Immediately objected,
saying he had answered the question.
"Ho answered It very sVlously nnd
well," interposed Justice Hcndrlck.
When Thaw had reached tho point In
his story to where he got In i front of
Whlto ho paused for fully half a minute
heforo ho uttered tho words "shot him."
And It was nnother half-minute before he
raised his head towaid Cook and asked,
"Is that all?"
"I should tell tho Jury, however," Thaw
added, after Justice Hendricks' state
ment, "that beforo I shot White I saw
him movo his hand toward his back
pocket Everything was confusion nftor
the shot." i
Throughout his story Thaw talked
evenly "nd at times Blowly. Ofteti ho
gazed upward as though trying to visual
ize the happening" wnlch ho was relating.
Ab Thaw told his story 'Cook's eyes
never left his face. Ho neither prompted
nor suggested, but waited patiently for
Thaw to tell his story In his own way.
Thaw appeared slightly worn and tired.
Ho answered questions in a cool, com
posed manner, however.
"Do you bellcvo you wero Insano when
you murdered White?" was ono of Cook's
questions.
John B. Stanchfleld, ThaWs attorney,
objected to tho question and was sus
tained, Thaw told of carrying a gun all day
boforo ho killed White. He said he did
bo because ho feared nn attempt on his
llfo by an East Side gang led by Monk
Eastman. He denied that he believed
Stanford White had employed the gang.
