PRESIDENT WILSON REFUSES
TO SEND AllJIY INTO MEXICO
WASHINGTON' Jan 14
No armed troops will be sent across
tho Mcxlcnn border nt this time. It wns
plalnlv Indicated todns, following n hnlf
hour conference between President Wil
son and Senator Stone, chairman of tho
Semto Porelgn Relations Committee
This vi as strengthened utter todn's
Cnbinot mooting
It wns admitted that tho Mexican situa
tion was tho chief topic discussed by the
President nnd his advisers. Tho positive
stntement wnt made, however, thnt no
courso had been decided upon other than
to give Cnrranrn time to capture1 and pun
ish those guilty of massacring 17 Ameri
cans near Chihunhiu
The Cabinet also discussed tho subma
rine question in n general way Austria's
lcplv In tho Persian case that she could
not orcept rcsponslhlllt) for the sinking
of the Persia was taken up. but no de
cision was made It was Intimated, how
over, that tho Cabinet considers tho en
tlro submnrlne question nenr complete
settlement
This determination becamo nioro fixed
nftcr receipt today by the State Depart
ment thit General Josq Rodriguez had
been executed by Cnrrnnza authorities
and that the reported mnssnere of 10
more Americans nt Mntlern had been of
ficial declared untrue.
NO INTERVENTION YET
Tho Senator cnllcd to get tho Presi
dent's udvlco on action his committee
should tnko on the dll. rent resolutions
referred to It Ho would give no Inden
tion of whnt the President desired done
with Scnntor Lewis' resolution to give
tho Piestdcut tho mime authority to use
tho army In Mexico that he has with
..in navy In Nicaragua and Haiti Ho
Indicated strongly, however, the conclu
sion reached that no American troops
should bo sent across the border now
It Is plainly tho attitude of the Admin
istration that Cai Anza should havo op
portunity to gather up the locse ends
of disorder still existing In Mexico be
fore this Government should hamper
him . .
After returning to the Capitol, Mnator
Stone mnde It plain thnt the "watchful
waiting" nttltude wduld be maintained
by the Admlnlctratlon despite any pres
sure thnt might bo brought In Congress
The Democratic leader nlso said he
would back the Administration up, nnd
would endeavor to bring nbout the- de
feat of nil resolutions that nro Intro
duced to force nrmed Intervention In
Mexico.
Carranza ennnot be expected to do this
In n day," said Stone.
GIVE CARRANZA A CItANCE
Prosldent Wilson wilt tnko no nctlon
to determine whether a change In his Mex
ican policy Is necessary until the following
facts nro estnbllshed:
Whether the Carranza Government
actually wns at fault for fallurs
specifically to prqtect tho men mur
dered in Chihuahua Slate
Whether thd Carranza Government
has done ever thing It could to pro
tect foreign lives and property and, to
stamp out all Inndlt gangs
Whether Cnnaiua actually Is mak
ing nn honest effort to ra-cstnhllsh law
nnd older nnd Is cmplolng nil means
nt his disposal to bring thin nbout
Whether tho men murdered In north
ern Mexico had full knpvvlodgo that
they returned to their propel tics In
opposition to the expressed wishes of
tho Uultcd States Government.
Whether the murdered men traveled
on safo conducts Issued b tho Cnr
lnuzlstn authorities at El Paso and
Juaror
Whether cither Cirranza or Obregon
,hnd know ledge that Villa lind threat
ened tho wholesale extermination of
Americans
Mcnnwhlle tho State Department will
continue to Insist thnt Carranza tnnke an
cxnmple of tho murderers And It Is
stated oulclnlly that a mere ctalm that
thoy hnvo been pursued nnd shot down
will not be sufllcleiit There must be
phslcnl evidence.
omclnls at tho White House Insist that
tho onl contingency which would forco
nn Immediate chntigo In Prosldent II
son's preiicnl pollc would be renewed
killings of Americans
To pi event thli tne Stnto Department Is
trlng to get nil Americans mid other for
eigners out ot the danger zone.
I. S UNABLE TO TIGHT
Even though the President wcro willing
to consider Intervention, ofllclnls sn, ho
has lnsutHclcnt forces available to bo
used for that purpose It Is considered
certain thnt Cnrrnnza never Would glva
his consent to American soldiers crossing
tho Rio Grnndo, and that If this should
bo attempted nil Mclcnns now under
arms would present a united front to tho
American Invaders. Thcro nre npproM
matcl 15.000 Mexicans, well nrmed and
equipped, who would have to be rickoilcd
with, army olllcers snj.

having only a modest income.
The instruments include almost every well-known

a durable upright piano in first-class condition and war
