I DOITNOW Snbacrib lor THIS PAPER HUERTA 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 senate com mittee on foreign relations were unun imous in declaring that Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson bad made a most favorable Impression In his discussion of the Mexican question statements of another character were being made by high authorities. It was said authoritatively that Ambassador Wilson in his 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 of President Wil son. Announcement of tills policy will be deferred, however, until the administration has an opportunity to see the 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 is In it not the slightest sug gestlon 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 finally adopted, is to take has not yet been Indicated by officials of the adminis tration. It has been declared recently by close observers of the 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 lias 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 Ambassador Wilson to make the slightest impression upon the presi dent's preconceived views in regard to Mexico caused no small degree of astonishment here. It was regarded bs extraordinary in view of the dis tinctly favorable impression the am bassador had made in Ills 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, most 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 as having raised a direct issue between the senate committee and the White House. Whether members ot the commltac will care to discuss this phase of the situation with the presi dent, now that ills attitude toward Ambassador Wilson's views is known, was not Indicated. Jt Is believed though that there Is likely to develop a lack of harmony between the views of the sem.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 right 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 down in district court in St. Paul, Minn. The case came up when a local rr ei'chant was sued by a newspaper to recover money due under a yearly contract which the merchant had de clared void because certain portions of his advertising copy had been re jected by the paper.

The disappearance of f 275,000 worth of Jewels from two residences In the summer colony at Narragansett Pier, R. I., remains unexplained though a small army of detectives has been diligently at work for more than a week. Mrs. John II. Hanan, 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. Rumsey, the original estimate of the losses at his cottage was much too small and the figure is now plated 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 botli rob beries after ingratiating themselves with servants or others familiar with tho habits of two families.

Engineer Killed; More Than 100 Pas sengers Injured. Over one hundred passengers were injured and the engineer of a loco motive was killed when passenger train No. 13 ran Into the rear of passenger train No. 15 at Tyrnno, Pa. The coaches of train No. 15 wero badly damaged. Train No. 13, which was made up at Harrisburg and was westbound, crashed into train No. 15, Philadelphia for Pittsburg, which was just pulling out of the Tyrone station.

Mail Clerks Herb. Seltz, Kisk and lluntzhargcr were Injured. All the Injured were given lirst aid treatment by Tyrone physicians and druggists. A special train was made up and the seriously Injured wero tuken to hospitals at AMooim. It is thought the wreck was duo to a mix-up in the signals. It is believed that train No. 13 was let through the block and the etgineer did not see the train in front of him until it was too late to avert Hie wreck. There is a sharp curve just near the station and this obstructed the engineer's view. The weather was bright and clear. Wins Bottle Husband. Emmett Mowers of Kenwood, W.

FIRST BLAST WAS OF DYNAMITE Bodies of Two Men Still Believed te Be Under Fall of Rock Res cuers Killed by Second Explosion. The number of dead as a result ot the double explosion at the East Brookside colliery of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company at Tower City, Pa., was increased to nineteen by the death at Pottsville ol John Lorenz, mine superintendent. Daniel Farley and John Fessler, fire bosses, are still in tbe workings In spite of the efforts which have made to rescue them. It Is now almost cer tain that they are burled 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 off 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. SLASHES THROATS OF TOTS Philadelphia Mother Kills Two Chil dren and Self Others May Die.

The woman was about 35 years old. The husband of the woman was not at home at the time and the cries ot the children as the mother attacked them attracted neighbors who sum moned the police. The woman and the two younger children were dead when the police broke Into the house. Tho woman's baby is in a hospital with a fever and she received word that the child could not live. This, the police believe, unbalanced her mind. SLAP ON BACK BREAKS NECK Man In Hospital With Fighting Chance For Life. Urlnli Washburn, a watchman.
