Senator Promises to Sup

Lansing Report
GALLS IT INADEQUATE
Total Number of Americans
Who Perished During
Revolt Is 129
WASHINGTON, Feb. l8.-Senulor Fall,
of New Mexico, served warning today
that ho would renew Immediately Ills
warfare upon tin- Administration's Moxl
enn policy. President WIIboii's explana
tion of "watchful waiting," offered yes
terday In response to Senator Kail's reso
lution, f wholly Inadequate, the Senator
declared, Ho added that he would at
tempt "to supply some of the missing
links from tho Administration account of
Its course."
"I object to the Administration's cut
tlcllsh diplomacy, this throwing out a
lot of Ink to conceal Kb rent movements,"
said Senator Fall. "In tho near future,
I will supply some of the missing links
In tho report submitted yesterday.
ASSAILS RKCOGNITION.
"The report fully Justifies my resolu
tion calling for tho reason of tho recog
nition of Cnrranzn and amply demon
strates thoro was no earthly reason for
such recognition. Tho withholding of po
litical correspondence, publication of
which, tho President says, would be In
compatible with tho public Interest, shows
that there Is some mystery In this recog
nition, which fell like a bombshell on
both the United States and Mexico."
Tho report submitted by Secretary
Lansing In rcsponso to the Fall resolution
conveyed tho Information that 70 Ameri
cans lost their lives In Mexico In the
years lOtJ, 1014 and IDIH. This number
doos not Include the 17 Americans who
were killed at the recent massacre at
Santa Ysabel.
lit addition to this Secretary Lansing
disclosed that L'O civilian Americans In
those three years and 115 American sol
diers wero killed on American soil ns tho
result of border troubles. Thus tho total
of Americans who wcro officially acknowl
edged to have perished Is 129.
In addition to the list of names Sec
retary Lansing sent to tho Sennto a long
statement In reply to other Information
called for by tho Fall resolution. Whllo
Secretary Lansing met tho demands of
tho Senate In somo particulars, his report
as a whole was regarded as moro notable
for what It failed to dlscloso than for tho
information that It contained.
PAI1TICULAHS KI3PT OUT.
Many expected a full and frank state
ment of the cptlro -Mexican situation from
the Administration, but Mr. Lansing, act
ing on tho President's orders, dealt with
conditions only In a general way and re
plied that much of tho detailed matter
called for could not be furnished because
It would not be ''compatible with the pub
lic Interest" to give It.
Among the significant omissions In tho
report wore tho naval orders which Sen
ator Fall Insists were Issued to tho United
States marines who landed at Vera Cruz.
Senator Fall has described these orders as
"death warrants." He contended that tho
orders prevented the marines from tiring
upon the Mexicans until nftcr they had
been fired upon, and In tho latter caso
thoy were, ho Intimated, not permitted to
make their (Ire general, but to locate the
Mexican who fired tho shot.
Another notable omission was tho cor
respondence which passed between tho
Brazilian Ambassador In Mexico City
while he was representing the United
States and the Stato Department. Sen
ator Fall contended that If this corre
spondence were produced It would open
tho eyes of the American people to what
had been going on In Mexlca in such a
was as to force action by tho Govern
ment" DIAZ AND SENORA HUERTA

SALOONMAN'S SLAYER
'QUEER,' COPS ADMIT
Anderson Uncertain in Speech-
and Actions, They Testify at
Trial for Murder
Action In tho trial of John F. Anderson,
accused of tho murder of James P. Camp
bell, a saloonkeeper at 21st and Market
streets, progressed slowly, when counsel
for both tho State and the defense occu
pied most of tho session this morning with
pleas to Judge Henry to exclude or In
clude certain testimony.
Assistant District Attorney Tnulane,
who Is piosecutlng the case, usked that
tho actions of young Anderson, on tho
night of the shooting, be taken Into con
sideration. It Is snld that he entered tho
saloon at HOth and Market streets earlier
In tho evening nnd attempted to hold up
tho place. Mr. Tnulane nttempted to show
that tho prisoner was In the mood for
breaking tho law. On tho objection of
former Assistant District Attorney Grny,
counsel for the defense. Judge Henry con
sidered the matter, i- Jt gavo no decision.
Detectives, jwho had talked with tho
prisoner a short time after ho was ar
rested, were placed on the witness stand,
nnd ngrced that tho young man had been
rather strnngo and uncertain In his speech
and actions. This wns taken as further
Indication that tho defense Is going to
base Its case on the plea that tho alleged
murderer Is feeble-minded.
This, it Is said, will be used In con
Junction with the fact that the prisoner
Is deaf, and had been drinking un tho
night of the shooting.
Former Detective Isaacs testified that
the prisoner, when brought before Itobort
Cameron, then captain of detectives, de
nied nil knowledge of the shooting, und
then, with no reason at all. said:
"Is the old man dead yet?"
And then:
"I guess you've got me."
Young Anderson then made a clucking
sound, according to Isam:s. and drew his
finger across his throat, a little byplay on
hanging.
Some of the spectators smiled when
Isaacs told tho court that he had reas
sured Anderson with the remark that
hanging Is no longer permitted In this
State.
Tho court will be In session all day to
morrow, and It is expected tho case will
bo completed Monday.
BRITAIN SELLS STEEL
CORPORATION BONDS
Five Per Cents to Value of $22,-
800,000 Returned Through
Morgan & Co.
NEW YOnK. Feb. 18,-Announcement
was made today that J. P. Morgan & Co.,
for the account of the British treasury,
has sold to the United Stutes Steel
Corporation I22.SOO.000 of that corpora
tion's first mortgage S per cent, bonds.
This Is the first Instance In which an
American corporation has taken back
securities which Europe is ready to un
load with tho Intention of retiring tho
Issue.
The bonds taken back compose the lot
of securities generally known as the
Carnegie bonds and comprise part of the
foundation for Scottish universities es
tablished by Andrew Carnegie. Consent
for the disposal of the bonds was given
some weeks ago under the British mobil
ization scheme of American securities.
It Is understood that the corporation will
retire the bonds, as no new financing Is
necessary to take up the Issue, owing to
the fact that the Steel Corporation has
1100,000,000 cash on deposit.
Some time ago tho Pennsylvania Rail
road and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul took back a large portion of their
bonds distributed In England and France,
but the securities wero merely transferred
here for re-marketing and were not re
tired, as wll be the case with the Steel
Issues.

Lord Aberdeen, who Is adding his ills- .

today about "things of parnmotint Itu- .

yesterday. Then he snld that important
things, like England, Ireland. Canada (
and the way the war effects them -yes
and even the I'nlted Stntes could not

could only talk about them In Ills
speeches, he said. j
It happens that he Ih a rare nufhorlly '

of Ireland.

Canada enjoys will eventually come to be I
the condition in Ireland, too.
"Considering the history of Ireland,
Ireland In my opinion, has come up tnnr
vclously In tills war," said Lord Aberdeen.
The Marquis acknowledged that though
In Canada the Governor General hnd no
jurisdiction whatsoever over the Canadian
Parliament, In Ireland Iho Lord Lieu
tenant, even when tho home rule bill Is
put Into execution, has the power to
veto any hill passed by the Irish House
of Commons. Both officials nre appointed
by tho English Crown.
"Gradually the power of the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland will diminish.
Eventually Ireland will enjoy tho sntno
autonomy at Canada," repeated Lord
Aberdeen.
To the observation that the Irish ex
chequer, with Its board of five members,
two appointed by the Irish Parliament,
two by tho Lord Lieutenant and tho
nfth by the Kngllsh Crown, was virtually
controlled by the mother country, Lord
Abeideen shrugged his shoulders.
As to tho exemption of the Irish In the
roniptilsory recruiting act recently passed
by the Kngllsh House of Commons, Lord
Abeideen thinks It was n, wlso tiling to
do.
"Considering her history, the history
of Ireland since the seventh century, I
feel that Ireland has come up wonder
fully In the soldiers sho has furnished to
fight for the Empire.
"I prophesy," was Lord Aberdeen's
last comment, "that eventually Ireland
will be as Independent ns Canada, ns any
of tho countries Included in the British
Umpire."
This afternoon Lord und Lady Aberdeen
had luncheon ns the guests of the Com
mercial Museums, nt the Museums, nnd
lnlcr went to tho West Chester Normal
School.
Thoy will be entertained tomorrow by
tho American Academy of Political and
Social Science and by the City Club, nnd

"Only In a vague way," was the an
swer. It was for engineering these con
tracts that Shonts said tho Interborough
directors voted him a bonus of $150,000.
Asked about "slush" funds, Shonts
snld ho thought such a fund would be one
for "Improper" purposes. Ho was asked
to define his Idea of an "Improper" fund.
"If you paid nn ofllclal to chango his

ties Mobilized in London
NEW YOBK, Feb. 18.-Cable dispatches
from London stating that J. P, Morgan
went to the British capital to take over
the British Government's entire holdings
of American securities at a price 10 per
cent, below the ruling price on the New
York Stock Exchange, Is stated to be
.absolutely without foundation. In com
menting on the matter, a member of the
tlrm of J. P. Morgan & Co. said: "There
lj no truth In the report that there is
being considered a plan to take over In
bulk a large portion of the various Amer
ican securities that are being mobilized
In London."
The dispatch from London stated that
by taking over these securities "the con
stant depression In prices In New York,
caused by the dally o.erlngs. will be
stopped and; England will establish a
credit for several billion dollars in Amer
ica." It was pointed out this morning that It
is not necessary for Great Britain to
secure further credits In America, at pres
ent, nor Is It expected that It will be In
the Immediate future, because that Gov
ernment now has a liberal cash balance
to Its credit on deposit lo binlc in this

MAN AND TWO BOYS
DROWN IN DARBY CREEK
Continued front I'nge One
which they carried down with them, rose
to tho surface In Jagged fragments, cov

two small hands appeared on tho edge
of tho Ice, and, for the fraction of n sec

of Ico Immediately bank slowly downward,
carrying cap and small hands with It,
and then bobbed up again after It had
played Its trick upon ihe drowning lad.
FATHKJt GOES DOWN.
Surah dashed across tho loo. As ho
neared tho now larger hole, ho felt tho
Ico that had been able to hold up tho
boys' lighter weight cracking nnd bend
ing beneath him. Before ho got to the
holo ho hnd gone through himself.
Tho creek varies between five nnd
soven feet In depth nt this point. Surab
caroo down on his feet In soft mud, hut
ho wns able to keep his tniu nbovo water
us ho groped about for the boys. lie
caught a small arm and his hand
gripped It like a vise. Ho pulled out his
son nnd slung him across tho Ico behind
him. The drenched boy slid a dozen
yards nnd found himself sitting on tho
Ico In safety, rubbing the water from his
eyes. He looked around, There was no
sign of his father or Johnny Carpenter.
Then ho began to yell. People wcro hur
rying toward him: they hud been skating
in a sufer place up the creek.
Surab, In groping for tho other boy,
had sunk knee-dcop In tho mud. His
heavy rubber boots had dragged him
down. His wildly wavlnc nrma disturbed
the water ns If Home great fish wero

off a hook. Surnb's boy ran toward the
hole. He did not know what to do to
help his father.
Without a. plan ho dived In after him
and sank. Considering tho ilzo of the

father and the man probably Bpent his
last efforts In trying once more to throw
to safety a boy, thinking, no doubt, that
ho was trylrlg. this time, to save the
Carpenter boy. and not knowing that it
was his son who was dying in Jiis arms.
By this time the skaters had arrived.
They had yelled to the boy not to go back!
to the hole In the tee. He probably did
not hear them. They formed a line of
men and boys, all holding hands, and let

SOCIETY HAS BEGUN
KNOCKING AT DOOR
OF MASKED WIDOW
, Brother Forbes Tells of Tele
phone Invitation From Main
i T.inn noniKon Whn Insists
on Entertaining
DRAWING ROOM TO LOOM
Society has begun to knock nt the
doors of the masked widow, nt least so
she nnd her brother announced today from
their suite at the Continental Hotel.
The widow, otherwise known as Dorothy
Kensington, who snld she canto lo this
country masked In order that she might
hide from society, and mourn unmolested
Ihe loss of her soldier husband who fell
In baltto at Ypres, Is very much per
turbed. It nppenrs that Ihe summons from socl-
iclv came In tho nhnpo of ft tcicpnono
' cnll fiom a well-known woman on Ihe
' Main Line, according lo tho widow nnd
her brother Forbes. The solicitous womnn
was much grieved to hear that the wlfo
of an Mngllsh ofllccr should desire to rc
innm In seclusion, and to dare think of
working in a mill nt $1.75 per. Wliy. s no
mustn't rnlcitnln such a thought for the
fraction of a moment. Furthermore, the
widow Dorothy and brother Follies sim
ply must journey out to Bryn Mawr for
tho week-end.
There will be a motor nt the station
and they will bo whlslud off to the manor
Immediately and there will be exclusive
dinners and rides around the Ilryn Mawr
"mountains" and n round or two of golf
nnd "nil thnt sort of thing, don't you
know?"
At least, thnl's how brother Forbes de
scribed it In n decidedly bored manner.
It watt with n decided feeling of ennui
that ho even deigned to mention It ns
ho extracted a Loiidonlsh-looklng cigarette
from his glittering silver case. He admit
trr that sister Dorothy didn't go to Iho
uptown mill where sho wns offered nn
opinrtunlly to work. "1 four It would
have been too much for her. You know
It's a long dl.itanco from tho drawing
room to the loom."
After contributing this gem In Kngllsh
literature he glided out tho window.
Then Dorothy, who wus fussing wiin
her' chops Impatiently, suddenly an
nounced "I have nn Idea."
Her brother looked nlaruicd but nulcklv
coniposed himself. Ignoring the Jolt she
had caused, tho masked widow then said
with emphasis:
"Vou know I have n voleo and If the
worst comes to tho worst "
But brother Forbes divined tho unfin
ished thought.
"You will foi get your pride and go out
bravely and sing."
Dorothy sighed nnd nodded her head
In perfect resignation.
"You know," said Forbes, "I would feel
almost despicable were I to allow my dear
sister lo wmk In a mill at ? 1.7.1 per week
when she has been offered the comfortable
llgure of $,1(10 it week to sing In public.
Tho thing has been haunting me nil night.
I could not sleep when J icallzed that wo
had refused It. It's true wc spoke about
being Independent. Hut don't you J-cc, It
would lie Just ns Independent to sing III
public for money as It would bo to toll
In a mill."
In the midst of his enthusiasm ho sud
denly offered the cnllcr a ilgaretle.
The widow's practical hi other then took
nn Inventory of his wallet and saw with
horror that Its contents was getting thin
ner. "You can sen we are bound to coino
to the end soon if wo Just keep on spend
ing without replenishing so it looks after
nil as If Dorothy will havo to do some
thing despcrnte."
"Yes, I will sing," said the mnsked
widow.
Then they plunged Into a typical Kng
llsh luncheon of chops nnd turnips and
pudding, a pot of tea and other things
to mutch.
This nfternoon they received a mys
terious telephone call und brother and
sister, the latter still concealed behind
her mask, left the hotel quickly and en
tered a big brown auto. Brother Forbes
intimated that they wcro going to u
music studio.
DANIELS' 'ROOKIE' PLAN
FOR NAVY HITS A SNAG
If Civilians Are Trained, Where
Will the Officers Come From?
the Experts Ask
Whero will tho ofllcers como from?
This query Is tho answer of navy men
to Secretary Daniels' plan for truinlng
civilians for tho navy by giving them a
month's crulso on battleships.
Tho news of tho latest creative effort
of the Secretory of tho Navy was not
taken seriously nt tho Philadelphia Navy
Yard. OHlccrs thero hud no trouble In
finding many flaws In tho whole plan,
which Mr. Daniels expects will turn 2500
citizens Into ns many navy men.
Whllo tho shortage of enlisted men In
tho navy la acute, tho deficiency in the
ranks of the olllcers Is even, more so,
tho officers sny. And what they want to
know Is: How can a man learn even tho
elomentnry rudiments of ntivnl strategy
If thoro aro no olllcers to teach hint? Tho
reserve fleet nt tho Philadelphia Navy
Yard, which would bo available for such
a purpose, Is now short 100 olllcers and
30"0 men.
Wherein lies the troublo? The present
policy of Mr. Daniels Is material first,
then enlisted men and then officers, which
Is entirely wrong, according to the navy
men, and should bo reversed.
Tho civilian training school plan was
described as a "cheap yachting cruise."
and other uncomplimentary remarks were
made, and the olllcers at tho yard also
pointed out that although the men may
be taught how to shcot a gun In four
weeks they will never learn In that time
what Is moro Important, and that Is, what
tho gun can do in relation to those, on
other ships, especially those of tho foe.
One officer, who preferred that his name
bo not quoted, has a plan which would
provide for the deficiency of ofllcers In
tho navy.
"Why not take a thousand men from
the colleges and technical schools of the
country nnd put them on the payroll of
the navy as ensigns?" he asked. "If they
were kept In the navy for four years they
would be efficient officers, especially as
they would have at the start a thorough
knowledge of those sciences that are use
ful In the service. At the end of that
time, if they didn't want to continue In
the ranks, they could leave. But, at any
rate, we would have a splendid reserve to
fall back on a reserve of officers, which
Is what we now need."

Whllo not saying In so many words that
ho will beromo a citniUdalo for Iho office
In the primaries, he gave every Indication
of such nn nnnouncctiient.
After declaring tlinv this year Iho na

cannot be kept In the dark. They have
a right to know the candidates, but these,

BOMBS FOUND ON SHIP
WHICH LEFT THIS PORT
British Vessel Narrowly Es
capes Destruction on Ar
rival at Valencia
Two dviutmlte bombs, filled with enough
explosive to have blown the ship to atoms,
wero found In the hold of the British
steamship Hosebnnk, lit Vnleneln, Spain,
according to a dispatch received from that
port today. The bombs wero found
hidden under the bunkers by n sailor. The
slzo of the enpi led Captain Woodrow to
believe that the bombs were intended to
explode by concussion during Iho landing
of Iho shlprthe greater part of tho cargo
being coal.
The ship cleared from Philadelphia on
.laiinnry 22 with n cargo of Mil" tons of
Westmoreland coal. Tho total value of tho
cargo was $17,017. Tho crow vraa com
posed of British sailors under Captain
Woodrow.
Whether tlm hombn were placed In tho
hold of Ihe ship while she was being load
ed In Philadelphia, or whether they wore
hidden thero when she docked nt Valen
cia Is still u matter of conjecture. Tho
ship arrived at the latter port on Fe.lirn
13. She will eventually unload her cargo
nt Kngllsh ports.
