Consider Plans to Stop Spread, of Wild Cat Rumors Along Border By Associated Press Washington, March 25. Con vinced that powerful Influences are at work to force intervention in Mex ico through the spreading of alarm ing rumors, administration officials to-day were considering what steps shall be taken to bring the agitation to an end. Many officials believe that a well defined effort is being made by in terests owning property in northern Mexico to inflame the minds of people in the United States and in Mexico to a point where war between the two countries would be inevitable. Following a thorough discussion of fho subject at yesterday's cabinet meeting. Secretary Lansing prepared a formal statement which was awaited | to-day. President Wilson is said to | be determined to stop the circulation of the inflammatory rumors and to take legal steps if necessary. The use of the law against the publication of reports tending to incite "arson and riot," tightening of the censorship on Mexican news and warning army offi cers on the border against giving out unconfirmed reports are all under con sideration by administration officials. Statement From Border President Wilson probably will issue the expected official statement on alarmist reports from the Mexican border instead of having Secretary Lansing do it as was at first planned. The President and the cabinet are so convinced that certain reports are part of a propaganda to force a general in tervention in Mexico that it was de cided the subject was of sufficient im portance for the President to deal with personally. To-day's advices from Consul Rodgers, at General Carranza's head quarters at Queretaro, reported a continuing favorable sentiment but made no mention of the American re quest for use of Mexican railway lines for transposing supplies to General Pershing's expedition.
