SUGGESTS NEW
MEXICO POLICY
Presided Would Lei Factions
Struggle to a Finish
AMFPIQAB TOTALLED OUT
American Interests, Which Amount to
Billion Dollars, Would Be Aban
doned No Recognition For Huerta.
After waiting in vain lor Provisional
President Huerta of Mexico to accept
his mediation plan President Wilson
Wilson went before the United States
senate and the house of representa
tives and read his message annunic
iri his pjollcy toward Mexico.
It Ih a message of friendship, not
hostility, and precedes a policy of ab
solute noninterference. It proclaims
to the world the sympathetic feeling
that the United States government
and the American people have for
their neighbors in the rebellion-torn
republic south of the Rio Grande. It
records the views of the United States
on constitutional government, its un
alterable opposition to governments
Bet up by tjie irregular and arbitrary
acts of ambitious Individuals and for
mally announces that the government
of Victoriano Huerta shall not be
recognized.
The president's mersage promul
gates a new poliry toward Mexico. It
suggests the retirement of all Ameri
cans from Mexico and throws up n
more formidable barrier against the
shipment of arms and ammunition into
that country.
All the resources of the government
are to be used to assist those Ameri
cans who desire to retire from the
southern republic. Having thus of
fered safety to Americans and having
closed the door for future shipments
of munitions of war the president
would follow the policy of noninter
ference, leaving the Mexicans to
struggle between themselves and work
out their own salvation.
With the announcement of this new
policy, however, conies a sharp de
mand upon the Huerta government
and all the revolutionary leaders in
Mexico to safeguard American life and
property. President Wilson will let
huerta and his enemies know in very
positive terms that they will be held
responsible for any acts committed
atainst Americans or their property.
As a means of enforcing the neu
trality law more stringently it is likely
that new troops will be ordered to the
border and any vessels that are need
ed to convey Americans from Mexi
can territory will be sent by the Unit
ed States navy.
The president's decision is in keep
ing with the stand that he lias taken
all along that the United States
troops should not cross the border into
Mexico except under the most ex
treme circumstances.
The president's new program
amounts practically to the abandoning
of American business interests in Mex
ico except as they can be protected by
forceful representations. It has been
estimated that there Is $1,000,000,000
of American capital invested in
Mexico.
There is one feature of this plan
which may result in embarrassments
for the United States. Foreign gov
ernments who have property and sub
jects in Mexico may not be willing to
leave the struggle to Mexicans alone,
but the president and his advisers
feel certain that no European power
would attempt forceful intervention in
Mexico.
Accompanying the president's ad
dress was the reply of the Huerta
government rejecting the American
proposals. It was written by Foreign
Minister Gamboa. It suggested the
following alternative policy for the
United States:
Reception of a Mexican ambassador
in Washington.
That the United States send a new
ambassador to Mexico without re
straints. Strict observance of the ncutralUy
laws andijWee to it that no material
or monetary assistance is given to
the rebels."
Unconditional recofnltion of the
Huerta government.
That foreign powers generally are
exercising their Rood ofllces In Mex
ico City pressing Huertu to yield to
the Amcrlcn proposals now is openly
admitted by administration officials.
When questioned whether such par
ticipation by European govern incnls in
the politics of the western hemisphere
was considered an Infringement upon
the Monroe doctrine it was pointed
out by administration olllciuls that the
United States'did not construe an act
(.. .Viendship as impairing at any time
the Monroe doctrine.
It was pointed out also that the ac
tivities of foreign governments were
nut due to any request by the I'niti-d
States for assistance, but that thld
government has decided on a policy
of keeping the nations of the world
generally informed of the steps being
taken to bring about peace, leaving It
to the countries of the world to ao
spontaneously what seemed expedient.
Another Bogus Bill Warning.

OPTIMISM WIDESPREAD
Prospects Good For a Satisfactory Fall
and Winter Season.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Evidences of reviving commercial
and Industrial activity steadily multi
ply and business optimism Is becom
ing widespread. This spirit of con
fidence finds n reflection in the more
general anticipation of future require
ments, and since merchandise stocks
at all leading points must be replen
ished prospects are encouraging for
a satisfactory fall and winter season.
"The restrictive iniluence of tariff
revision is somewhat less manifest
and the expansion in trade Is facilitat
ed by the improved monetary situa
tion, Increasing preparations for re
mote needs being stimulated by the
broader absorption of commercial
paper at lower rates.
"Conditions in iron and steel have
been rather better than expected this
month."
ASQUITH POUNCED UPON
England's Premier Attacked on Golf
Links by Suffragettes.
While Premier Asquith of England
and his daughter were playing golf at
Lossiemouth between Inverness and
Aberdeen they were attacked by two
suffragettes.
The women first knocked the prime
minister's hat off and banged his head
with a book. Then they clutched his
coat and dragged him to and fro. The
premier tried to shake the women off
and his daughter grappled with one of
them, but was not strong enough to
hold her.
The struggle continued for several
seconds, the women clawing at the
premier and screaming the usual
"Votes For Women!" slogan.
Two detectives ran to the aid of Mr.
Asquith and with difficulty pulled the
women away from him. Tlio suf
fragettes fought and struggled in cat
like fashion but were finally subdued.

WHOLE FAMILY
HLLEDBY TRAIN
Automobile Party ot Five Hit
at Crossing
CARS WERE BEING BACKED UP
Man, Wife, Two Children and Slater-In-Law
Meet Death Near Butler
Junction, Pa. Train Was Special,
A family was wiped out when an
automobile In which were J. E. Rowan,
thirty-five, his wife and two children,
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Allen Wood
Smith, all of Brackenbridge, Pa., was
struck by a special train occupied by
R. S. O'Donnell, general superin
tendent of the West Penn division of
.the Pennsylvania railroad, and of
ficials of the company, who were
making an Inspection trip at Lane
station, Laneville, Pa., one-half mile
east of liutler Junction, Pa., on the
Puller branch of the West Penn rail
road. Rowan, his wife and one child, one
year old, were killed instantly, the
others dying shortly afterward.
The automobile was coasting down
the Freeport hill. The special, which
had stopped at lane station, was back
ing down the track toward the Free
port road. The automobile and the
special reached the crossing at the
same time and before Rowan or the
engineer saw the approach of the
other the train crashed into the auto
mobile. The automobile was carried along
the track for seventy-five feet and
wrecked. The occupants of the car
were thrown to the side of the track,
crushed and bruised. Rowan, who
was driving the machine, was cut in
half by the train.
FIRE DAMAGES IMPERATOR
Second Officer Killed Liner Leaves
on Schedule Time.
The steamship linporator, damaged
by fire while laying at her dock In
Hohoken, N. J., sailed on Saturday as
scheduled. The company announced
the great ship would be repaired, so
far as possible, at sua.
The loss may reach $50,000. Alone
in the depths of the ship, fighting the
fire singlehanded, the second officer,
Karl Uobrecht, lost his life. Most of
the ship's provislons'were destroyed.
The lire was at the bottom of the
provision hatch, which is nearly below
tliu stern end of the upper decks. To
day there Is thirty-five feet of water
at the bottom of the hatch. The ship .
Is divided Into twelve great compart
ments crossways, or abeam, as the
sailor says. They are numbered from
bow to stern. The fire was all in
compartment 11 next to the stern.
The cause of the fire Is not known
and won't be until all the water Is out
of the flooded compartment. Faulty
Insulation was the best guess Captain
Ruser could make. An important
thing in the minds of the officers is
this: They are sure that the fire could
never have started at sea.
"There would then have been men
down there at all hours," explained
one. "The fire could never have got
such a start without discovery."
The Imperator had landed all first
and second cabin passengers. The
1,200 odd steerage passengers aboard
her were all quartered forward and
most of them so far from the fire that
they did not know there was one until
landing on the 1,000 foot pier they
saw the hose up over the ship's side.
CURRENCY BILL ENDORSED
President Wilson Scores Another Vic
tory In Democratic Caucua.
Another victory for President Wil
son was recorded when the caucus of
the house Democrats adopted the ad
ministration banking and currency bill

ing the bill in caucus for nearly three
weeks.

the house on or about Sept. 8 ac
cording to a statement made by Chair
man Glass of the committee on bank
ing and currency. Mr. Glass believes
Hint the measure will be passed by the
house before Sept. 20.
The administration bill passed the
caucus without sny change that was
not proposed or agreed to by the ad
ministration leaders. The insurgents
made a lot of noisn from the begin
ning but they were compelled to bow
to'the superior force of numbers.
