AMNESTY SOUGHT FOR
• MEXICAN FEDERALS
Mediators Appeal to Wilson to
Have U. S. Use Its Influence
With Carranza
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., July 22. Am
bassador De Gama, of Brazil, and
Ministers Suarez, of Chile, and Naon,
of Argentina, the three mediators in
the Mexican affair, appealed to' Pres
ident Wilson to-day to have the Unit
ed States use its influence with Gen
eral Carranza to obtain a general am
nesty for those who supported the
Huerta government.
It was the first formal call of the
three mediators since the conference
at Niagara Falls adjourned. They
were accompanied by Secretary Bryan.
They expressed the view that Fran*
cisco Carbajal, Provisional President
of Mexico, who succeeded Huerta, was
ready to turn over the government to
General Carranza, but wanted guar
antees that there would be no whole
sale executions, arrests or confisca
tion of property.
They told President Wilson that
Carbajal could not surrender uncon
ditional and that unless these guaran
tees for the protection of the lives
and property of those who supported
'Huerta were given, the Carbajal gov
ernment would concentrate all its
military forces and resist until the
utmost any effort to Invade Mexico

Roosevelt Wants to
Talk on Panama Case
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C., July 22.—A re
quest from Colonel Roosevelt for an
opportunity to appear before the Sen
fit foreign relations committee in op
position to the Colombian treaty was
(considered to-day by the committee
fwithout action, however, as Chairman
*Stone was unable to marshal a quo
rum. Colonel Roosevelt wrote Chair
man Stone he wanted to tell why he
opposed paying $25,000,000 to Colom
bia for the partition of Panama.
"I replied to Colonel Roosevelt's
letter personally, saying that 1 would
submit the matter of hearings on the
Colombia treaty and his appearance
before it to the committee,' said Sen
ator Stone. "1 don't know what he will
do about it."
The Missouri Senator said he had
not set a date for another meeting of
the committee, but that he would try
to get the members together soon. The
text of Mr. Roosevelt's letter he would
not make public because it was ad
dressed to the committee.
ij WONDERFUL SPIDER'S WER
; fFrom Wide World Magazine. 1
The roads of Paraguay are about five
yards wide throughout, and the trees
meet overhead at a height of some
eighteen feet, thus forming a tunnel
of very uniform dimensions. Tn the
clear parts of this tunnel that is,
where it is not choked up with the
giant nettle—it is full, from roof to
ground, of enormous spiders' webs
stretching clear across the road, the
big trees usually being Chosen as
anchorages and the total clear span
being thus more like eight yards than
five.
The main cables or framework of the
nets are composed of five or siz strands
of thick yellow web, apd are almost as
strong as cotton thread. The rest of
tiie net is made up of single and double
strands of the same stout material,
which is as sticky as it is strong. Every
yard or so one of these nets extend'
across one's path, making it necessary
to hold a cutlass or a fairly stout stick
at arm's length in front as one walks.
The makers of these troublesome but
picturesque obstructions are large,
highly colored, gaudy-looking spiders
with bodies that look as if they were
about to explode, they are so blown out
and glossy.
At intervals. In some more open
space where the sky is vislhle, one will
notice a different kind of web. far more
Irregular in shape, but far larger than
the others. Not content with the space
available in the tunnel, these webs are
stretched in complicated mazes from
the ground to the very tops of the sur
rounding trees, with clear spans fre
quently twenty or thirtv yards fom one
tree to another.
From these main cables smaller ones
extend to the ground—a drop of fifteen
• twenty yards—and the spaces in be
tween are filled up with a mass of webs
spun in all directions

contractors are permitted to do about
as they please in destroying? park prop
erty there is mightly little comfort in
the restoration provision.
Mayor Royal declared at the meet
ing of the City Council when this mat
ter was under consideration that there
would be a "howl" from the people.
Tfcey have a right to howl, in the
opinion of those who understand what
is going on. and the "howl" should in
crease until it becomes a cyclone of
protest against this utter indifference
to the parks and the resorts of the
people.
Tlu> Choice of the People
Thousands of people enjoy the river
parks from one end of the city to the
other and there Is no more attractive
section than that represented in the
district between Paxton and North
streets. Here are some of the finest
trees in the city and it is certain that
the roots of many of these trees will
be injured in the construction of this
water main, which, many insist, should
have been laid in the street. Commis
sioner Lynch is quoted as having fa
vored the street as the proper place
for the main and Mayor Koyal is also
said to have expressed the same
opinion, but bath voted against Com
missioner Taylor, the head of the park
department, and the contract to rip
open the park was awarded.
Not the First Time
This is not the first time that the
parks have been subjected to damage
and destruction through the operations
of careless or indifferent officials and
contractors. "Unless the people stop
this sort of thing," said a prominent
citizen to-day, "they might just as well
stop all appropriations for parks and
abandon them entirely. It is just as
necessary to practice economy in the
care of the parks as it Is in the ex
penditures of any other department."
The substance of public comment
to-day was that if the people are tired
of their parks and care nothing about
their appearance, then they should say
so In no uncertain terms. If, on the
other hand, they are opposed to the
constant damage of these playgrounds
and resorts by careless contractors and
indifferent officials, then they should
also make their protest.

Planning Commission at noon to-day

on trial on Monday and taking of
testimony was to have begun to-day.
Several witnesses from Michigan and
Ohio were on hand to testify for the
government and Judge Keating had
before him a motion of the defense to
compel the prosecution to furnish
their names and state the nature of
their testimony. The district attorney
opposed the motion and said that
these witnesses had been called to
"describe the situation existing in
Grand Rapids which would show a
motive on the part of Robinson in
resisting arrest by Inspector Norton."
Companion Is Held
Joseph Duddy, a companion of
liobinson, was arrested at the time
for the murder charged with being an
accomplice. He is being held to await
separate trial.
Robinson had sharpened the steel
shanks on the iron bars of his cell
window. The medical examiner found
two wounds, one an inch and a half
in length on the left of his neck that
opened the jugular vein, and another
of similar size where he had cut an
artery on his left wrist. He bled to
death without having made an out
cry.
The grim manner in which the man
ended his trial of the murder of Nor
ton was characteristic of him. Since
his arrest he has been indifferent and
at no time sought to justify or ex
plain the acts charged against him.
He appeared faultlessly
groomed and seemed to regard the
trial as something apart from him
self.
Desperate Criminal
The police had looked upon liob
inson as one of the most desperate
criminals with whom they had to do
in y&ars. Thirty years of age he was
a man of unusual mental attainments
and the police 'So feared his resources
that they had planned to hold him at
night in the court building to avoid
the dally trips to and from the jail
during the trial. Rumors were cur
rent that confederates from the West
would attempt his release by force and
these rumors were taken so seriously
that the prisoner was constantly sur
rounded In the court room by live
heavily armed otficers.
Planned Suicide
Letters found in Robinson's effects,
and dated July IS, indicate that he
contemplated suicide before his trial
was begun. In a pathetic and repent
ent note to his mother and wife he
said:
"To my dear mother and to my wife
Dora Alice:
"The loving sweetheart of my boy
hood days, the only woman I have
ever loved and who stuck to me
through all the shame into which I
plunged here 1 bid a last fond good

T. R. Faces Opposition
in Progressive Ranks
By Associated Press
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 22.—For
the first time in the history of the
Progressive party. Colonel Roosevelt
to-day faced the possibility of oppo
sition within the ranks over the choice
of candidates. He learned that at
the meeting of the Progressive com
mittee of New York county last night.
Chairman Francis W. Bird declared
for a straight Progressive State ticket
and after the meeting learned that
Harvey I). Hinman, of Binghamton,
had announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Governor
on a platform opposed to Win. Barnes
and Charles F. Murphy.
Colonel Roosevelt, it was said here,
was fully aware of the resistance he
will meet If he sought to bring about
Progressive endorsement of Mr. Hin
man or of any other candidate out
side the Progressive party. To all in
quiries to-day he merely replied that
he had nothing to say at present, and
that his forthcoming statement would
explain his position fully.
THE CiERMS IN MII.K
Living bodies both great and small,
are usually found in a definite place.
The bacteria found in milk are indeed
a mixed collection. The fact that cer
tain organisms are frequently found In
milk does not necessarily mean that
they originate in the udder, hut rather
directs the search toward the focus of
infection from which they find their
way into the secretion of the mam
mary gland. It Is known, says the
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation, that while the colon group
is frequently found in watar and milk,
its natural habitat Is the intestinal
tract of warm-blooded animals. The
experts of the Dairy Division of the
Bureau of Animal Industry in Wash
ington have been investigating the
sources from which the streptococci
may gain entrance into milk. The
foremost possibilities are: contamin
ation with feces, which must always
he considered as a possible source of
•ontamination: the presence intheherd
of one or mofe cows with infected ud
der, and the cow's mouth, which is
known to contain streptococci. Its
habit of licking the anks and udder
provides a more or less direct connec
tion between the mouth of the cow
and the milk-pail.
A DIPLOMATIC SUGGESTION
Speaking of indiscretions, I was told
(I cannot say whether it is true) that
Mrs. X, one of our compatriots, hav
ing met the Kmperor of Germany in
Norway, where their yachts were sta
tioned, snd feeling that she was on
familiar enough terms, said to him,
"Is it not lovely in Paris? Have you
been there, lately?"
"No i have not," answered the sur
prised Kaiser.
"Oh, how queer! You ought to go
there. The French people would just
love to see you."
"Do you think so?" said the Em
peror with a smile. Thus encouraged,
she enlarged on her theme and, speak
for the whole French nation, con
tinued, gushingly, "And if you would
give them back Alsace and Lorraine
they would simply adore you."
The Kaiser, looking at her gravely,
as if she had solved a mighty prob
lem. said, "I never thought of that,
madame."
The dear lady probably imagines
to this day that she is the apostle of
diplomacy. She came to Berlin in
tending (so she said) to "point Ber
lin red." She took the list of Court
people and sent out invitations rlgh'
and left for her five o'clock teas, but
aristocracy did not respond. Berlin

TALKS Oil BASEBALL
Calls Players Professional Men and
Says Professional Men Do
Not Strike
By Associated Press
Selinsgrove, Pa., July 22.—"Base
ball players are neither miners, hod
carriers nor ditch diggers. Baseball
players are professional men and pro
fessional men do not strike," declared
John K. Tener, Governor of Pennsyl
vania. and president of the National
League of Baseball players, in an in
terview to-day upon his arrival here
to review the Third Brigade, National
Guard of Pennsylvania, now in the
camp of instruction at this place.
"I am glad the strike is settled,"
continued Governor Tener. "However,
I do not believe the settlement ar
rived at will be permanent owing to
the belligerency of some of the base
ball magnates. A strike such as was
threatened is something new for me
and you know I have played baseball
and have been interested in baseball
affairs all my life. However, 1 am
preparing for war," declared the Gov
ernor with a vim. "And after I am
through inspecting and reviewing the
soldiers here I believe I will be in a
position of controlling the turbulent
factions."
Governor Tener, accompanied by
his wife and several friends, arrived
here early this morning from Harrls
burg in a big touring car.
The commands were inspected by-
Major M. H. Taggart, of Northumber
land, of the Inspector _ General's De
partment.
Governor Tener passed along the
line with Major Taggart and the com
mander-in-chief picked out a soldier
whose dress was unkempt and his
arms tarnished and administered a
repremand.
SAM AND TOM—THKV BET
Thomas J. Pence, who ranks among
the best of the bulging-browed politi
cal prophets in the ranks of the trium
phant Dcmberacy, has as his leading
diversion the laying of bets on horse
races. And the real, bald truth is
that if Tom had been as much of a
bonehead about politics as about cash
ing bets on horses, he would now be
holding down a job as charwoman in
a government building.
One morning at breakfast in the
Waldorf In New York. Tom told
Samuel G. Blythe, the writer, that he
was about to take a train for "a distant
race track.
"Tom," said Blythe with sadness,
"you haven't any gray matter hidden
in that dome of yours. There's no
hope of teaching you any sense. You
couldn't win on a horse race if you
were going to he shot the next minute.
And just to show you my firm convic
tion that you're a mushhead and a
mark in the hands of these hookies,
I'll bet you five dollars you can't pick
the winner in the first race."
"You're on,"' said Tom.
That afternoon Tom's selection for
(he first race falloped in with the
money.
That night Tom, having returned to
Washington, got this telegram from
Blythe, who was still in New York:

come to order the procurator general
rose and said:
"I am authorized by the government
to declare that the documents referred
to in Yesterday's testimony are only
pretended copies of documents which
do not exist."
Maitre said; "We consider
the incident closed."
Speaks Sarcastically
Charles Chenu, the lawyer repre
senting the interests of the Figaro and
• hose of Calmette's heirs, then said,
sarcastically: "1 regard the Incident
as only an enjoyable diversion. It has
pleased M. Caillaux to transform a
criminal trial into a political one. He
intends to go from here, with a cer
tificate of loyalty to France. Much
good it will do him."
The procurator general exclaimed
that the honor and patriotism of M.
Caillaux remained unstained.
Maitre Labori objected to the lan
guage used by Maitre Chenu.
Georges Pretat, a brother-in-law o'f
the murdered edifor and chairman of
the Figaro company, was then called
to the stand and emphatically denied
that the Figaro had been in the pay of
foreign banks. The Germans, he said,
had never held the majority of shares
of the Figaro, as had been alleged. He
ther) read lengthy extracts from memo
randa.
While M. Prestat was testifying M.
Caillaux came from his seat among the
witnesses and stood closer to the bar
in order to hear better.
Maitre Chenu, commenting on M.
Prestat's testimony, said: "I will add
that it does not become M. Caillaux to
come and endeavor to soil the grave
which his wife made."
Then followed an exciting scene.
Many of those in court rose from their
seats and shouted "Bravo," while
others hissed and murmured until
Louis Albanet'was obliged to call the
court to order with a severe repri
mand.
M. Caillaux Replies
M. Caillaux. in a state of extreme
agitation, exclaimed:
"Since I must take notice of what
this lawyer has said, I will ask him if I
he will take personal responsibility for
his words."
Another sensation was caused among i
the spectators by this exclamation and
loud "bravos" for M. Caillaux were
heard all over the court. When the
noise had somewhat subsided Maitre
Chenu replied:
'1 take the entire responsibility. You
cannot menace me here. You doubt
less do not know the temper of the
man whom you address."
The disorder in r urt was so great
that Judge Albanet threatened to clear
the chamber if the manifestations were
repealed.
A sales clerk In the store where
Mme. Caillaux purchased the weapon
which killed Calmette was called. He
took an automatic pistol from the
package in front of the judges and
explained its action.
Another gunsmith's employe said
Mme. Caillaux had practiced in the
range under the store. Three of her
I six shots struck a target the size of a
human figure.
Mme. Caillaux said: "I tried the pis
tol solely at the request of the em
ploye. He wanted me to be sure I
knew how it worked."

President Wilson and now he is on his way to the reservation of his tribe in
northwestern Montana, along the Canadian line. So overjoyed was Spo-Pe at
his liberation —despite the fact there was a question if he was gruilty of any
crime that he insisted on having his photograph taken with Evelyn Finch,
daughter of the pardon attorney of the Department of Justice, who worked
to free him.
More than thirty-five years ago a troop of United States cavalr.v killed

would kill a White man so the souls of his people could rest in peace in the

the wide employment of artiflcialties j
to-day would seom to indicate the:
truth of this observation. The host of j

every metropolitan newspaper, the dis- I
play windows of the various depart- j

the fact. The average man ot' rational

radical departures from the natural ;
