PAPER
riUERTA NOT TO
BE RECOGNIZED
President's Attitude on Mexico
Remains Unchanged
AMBASSADOR'S TRIP USELESS
General Scheme of Handling Mexican
Situation Is Gradually Enfolding
Itself in President Wilson's Mind.
While members of the Benate com
mittee on foreign relations were unan
imous in declaring that Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson had made a most
favorable impression in his diHcus.slou
of the Mexican question statements of
another character were being made by
high authorities.
It was said authoritatively that
Ambassador Wilson in bis conference
at the White House on Monday last
had not in the slightest degree altered
the president's analysis of the situa
tion in Mexico or changed his judg
ment as to what Is best to be done.
It was indicated not only does the
president hold exactly the same views
on the Mexican situation that he en
tertained before listening to Ambas
sador Wilson, but that these views dif
fer most materially from those of the
ambassador. In other words, so far
as the administration is directly con
cerned the ambassador to Mexico
might Just as well never have come
to Washington.
It was indicated that a policy In
regard to Mexico is rapidly taking
shape in the mind ot President Wil
son. Announcement of this policy
will be deferred, however, until the
administration has an opportunity to
see tbe results likely to be obtained
by the efforts of certain Mexicans
interested in bringing about a com
promise arrangement in regard to the
presidency of Mexico.
The character of the plan the presi
dent is considering is disclosed suf
ficiently to warrant the statement that
there 1b In it not the slightest sug
gestion of conditional recognition of
Huerta, such as is proposed by
Ambassador Wilson.
On the contrary, it is predicated on
the elimination of General Huerta
from the provisional presidency of
Mexico. It is understood that it has
to do entirely with a movement to
ward conciliation and mediation,
though what form this step, if iinally
adopted, is to take has not yet been
Indicated by ollicluls of the adminis
tration. It has been declared recently by
close observers of tho situation what
the United States will do about Mex
ico is largely a psychological problem
entirely contained within the mind of
President Wilson. It Is known that
for many days he has been turning
the matter over depending but very
little upon the counsel of others in
or near the administration, and It un
derstood that the plan when an
nounced will be the result of the
president's deep thought on the ques
tion. The statements regarding the failure
of Ambassndor Wilson to muke the
slightest impression upon the presi
dent's preconceived views In regard to
Mexico caused no small degree of
astonishment here. It was regarded
as extraordinary in view of the dis
tinctly favorable Impression the am
bassador had made in his talk with
the senate committee
Kven members who had been
strongly prejudiced against him said
they believed Henry Lano Wilson had
the right ideas about conditions and
policies In Mexico. There was even
a disposition to criticise the adminis
tration for not having previously
furnished the committee with the in
formation given by the ambassador,
jnost of which it was learned was
taken from documentary evidence
long In the possession of the state
department.
The announcement concerning the
president and the ambassador is re
garded bs having raised a direct issue
between the senate committee and the
White House. Whether members of
the commlti.ee will care to discuss this
phase of the situation with the presi
dent, now that his attitude toward
Ambassador Wilson's views is known,
was nut indicated, it is believed
though that there Is likely to develop
a lack of harmony between the views
of the scri.te committee and those of
the administration in regard to Mex
ico. NEWSPAPER WINS SUIT
Has Right to Decline Advertising
That Is Objectionable.
That newspapers have a rluht to de
cline advertising when they deem it
objectionable, even If it Is submitted
to them under a yearly contract, is the
effect of a decision handed dowu in
district court in St. Puul, Minn.
The case came up when a local
ti eichant was sued by a newspaper to
recover money due tinder a yearly
contract which the merchant bad de
clared void because certain portions
of Ills advertising copy had been re
jected by the paper.

DETECIIVE Af.MY BAFFLED
Friends of Servants Oelleved to Have
Stolen $275,000 Worth of Gems.
The disappearance of $275,000 worth
of Jewels from two residences in
the summer colony at Narragunsett
Tier, R. I., remains unexplained though
a small army ot detectives has
been diligently at work for more
than a week. Mrs. John II. Ilanan,
who sustained more than half the
total loss, was indisposed us a con
sequence of the disturbance of her
household combined with the serious
illness of her husband.
According to Charles C. Runiscy,
the original estimate of the losses at
his cottage was much too small and
the figure Is now placed at $125,000.
A report that Mr. Ramsey had dis
missed the detectives in his employ
could not be confirmed.
Detectives hold the generally ac
cepted theory that a gang of profes
sional thieves committed both rob
beries after ingratiating themselves
with servants or others familiar with
tho habits of two families.

mail cars. Mail Clerks Herb. Sell,,
I'Msk and lliintzharger were Injured.
All the Injured were given first aid
treatment by Tyrone physicians and

up und the seriously injured were
taken to hospitals at Minima.
It is thought the wreck was due to a
mix up in the signals. It Is believed
that train No. 1:1 was let through the
block and the engineer did not see
the train in front of him until it was
too late to avert the wreck. There is
a sharp curve just near the station
and this obstructed the engineer's
view. The weather was bright and
clear.

Bodies of Two Men Still Believed to
Be Under Fall of Rock Res
cuers Killed by Second Explosion.
The number of dead as a result ol
the double explosion at the East
Urookslde colliery of the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and iron company
at Tower City, Pa., was Increased to
nineteen by the death at l'ottsville ot
John Lorenz, mine superintendent.
Daniel Farley and John Fessler, fire
bosses, are still in the workings In

to rescue them. It Is now almost cer
tain that they are buried under a big
fall of rock.
Harry Schoffstall, night Inspector,
who was the only one of the first
rescuing party to escape with his life,
Is still living and chances are good
for his recovery.
The theory of the miners as to the
cause of the accident Is that the first
explosion was one of dynamite, prob
ably caused by the laborers In the
tunnel striking a dualin cap in the
debris with their shovels, setting oft
175 pounds of dynamite which had
been carried Info the mine by the
tunnel workers. This explosion, it is
believed, liberated a large body of gas
which exploded just as the rescuing
party neared the tunnel, killing five
of the six.
