Ml WARNING
SENT m MEXICO
Americans Must Be PrctcM
Bryan Instructs
PENROSE'S STARTLING FUh
Senior Pennsylvanian Would Send
United States Soldiers Into Mexico
to Give Protection to Foreigners.
Curt warning to both the Huerta
and Constitutionalist commanders at
La Boquilla, Chihuahua, Mex., that the
United States will hold them person
ally responsible for any violence
against Americans by "anyone claim
ing civil or military authority" was
sent by Secretary Bryan through
American Consul Letcher at Chihua
hua city.
Secretary Bryan instructed Mr.
Letcher to dispatch his message to
La Boquilla by courier and obtain an
answer. His action was in response
to a request by Senator Penrose for
action to protect S. C. Hulse, Chief
Engineer Fuller and other Americans
at the plant of the Mexican Northern
Power and Irrigation company.
Secretary Bryan's telegram follows:
"Information having been received
by this government that threats of
violence and death have been made
against Fuller, Hulse and others at La
Boquilla this government deems it
proper to say that If any violence Is
visited upon any American citizen
there or elsewhere by anyone claim
ing civil or military authority the
United States will hold personally re
sponsible the perpetrators thereof.
"Courier should ascertain condition
of all foreigners at La Boquilla and
report with reply the officer In charge
makes to this government's message."
The reference to the protection of
American citizens "elsewhere" was
taken as indicative of the attitude of
the government on the protection of
Americans wherever their safety is
threatened.
American troops for police duty in
Mexico for protection of foreign lives
and property and an emergency ap
propriation of $25,000,000 to be expend
ed under the direction of the presi
dent for that purpose were proposed
In a resolution by Senator Penrose.
He did not ask the senate to pass his
resolution at once and It went over.
Part of the Penrose scheme In
volved a declaration that this govern
ment had no hostile intent in sending
Its troops into Mexico. They were
to go merely as "constabulary" to pro
tect American lives and property and
insure the peaceful operation of enter
prises In Mexico in which American
capital is invested.
Our troops would be used, under
the Penrose scheme, as "guards" for
randies, mines, rallroids, factories and
Industries owned by Americans in
Mexico, so thai the various enterprises
could be conducted regularly, profit
ably and without fear of molestation
by either Mexican federal or revolu
tionary soldiers. And to afford Hi is
armed protection to American enter-
prines in Mexico Senator Penrose pro
posed to take at once $25,000,000 out
of the treasury and as much more as
might be needed In the future.
The first senator on the Republican
side to raise a warning voice against
Mr. Penrose's resolution was Mr.
Sutherland of Utah. He was followed
by Senators Lodge. Gallinger and Nel
son. It was evident that Republican
senators had been profoundly im-

pressea dv tne statement attributed to
Proiisional President Huerta in his
reply to tha president to the effect
that sentiment in congress was divided
on the merits of President Wilson's
Mexican policy.
"Officers of the provisional govern
ment in Mexico are reported as sayir.;
that the sentiment of the preslder',
differs from that of the senate with
reference to what should be done in
dealing with Mexico," said Senator
Sutherland. "I regard this as a very
unfortunate situation. It Is our duty
to uphold the president and I may
say that I believe it Is the intentloi
on this side of the chamber as we1'
as on the other to give the president
loyal support in making effective his
Mexican policy. Nor Is there any lac't
of confidence in him. It is the part
of patriotism and good sense to re
frain from criticism In the senate
until after the situation has cleared."
Lightning Makes Lilacs Bloom.
Lightning Is Indirectly responsible
for the second blooming of lilacs on a
bush in the lawn of Miss Martha Mc
Cartney of New Alexandria, Pa.
During a recent electric storm a barn
on the McCartney premises was

ground. The lilac bush was scorched
and shortly afterward burst into
riotous springtime bloom.

DIGGS FOUND GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict Against Him In
White Slavery Case.
At San Francisco Maury I. Diggs
was found guilty of violating the Mann
white slave act.
The jury in the United States dis
trict court returned a verdict of guilty
on the first four counts charging him
with taking Marsha Warrington and
Lola Norrls to Reno from Sacramento
for Immoral purposes and charging
him with buying a ticket for each girl
for the purpose of taking them to
Reno for Immoral purposes.
. The Jury reported "no verdict" on
counts 6 and 6, charging him with
coercing, inducing and persuading the
girls to go to Reno from Sacramento.
Judge Van Fleet fixed Diggs' bond
at $20,000. $5,000 on each count.
With able marshaling of facts in his
summing up Prosecutor Roche stripped
the defendant of every vestige of ex
cuse and explanation of his elope
ment to Reno with Miss Warrington
and bated in merciless words Diggs'
desertion of his young wife and baby
at the time of the Reno escapade.
Roche was severe in his denunciation.
He told of the many orgies In the
Sacramento office of Dli;gs, admitted
by the defendant on the witness stand
and accused him of ruining other girls
besides Marsha Warrington.
Roche concluded by declaring that
the people of the whole country h id
their eye fixed on this jury and t' ny
demanded that men like Dicgs, ' ho
started girls on the downward path
toward prostitution, should be pun
ished. EXPANSION MAINTAINED
