New York, Feb. 24. President Taft was attending tho morning service at St. Bartholomew's church In Mndlson avenue yesterday when n newspaper man conveyed the Intelligence of the slaying of Mndero. The news reached the president In tho middle of the ser mon, nnd as he had already made ar rangements to leave for Washington immediately afterward he remained in the church rather than to cause the dis turbance which would have resulted had he loft at that time. Commenting on the situation imme diately afterward, he said that he was deeply grieved by tho news. While ad mitting the added seriousness of the situation In Mexico, tho president said that ho would call no cabinet meeting when he arrived in Washington and added that the assassination in Itself would not wnrrant any further move on the part of tho United States gov ernment A crowd of onlookers stood about the church when tho president, accompa nied by his military aid, Major Rhodes, crossed tho sidewalk and entered a waiting automobile. With a guard of motorcycle policemen and an escort of secret service men in a second automo bile he went directly to the homo of his brother, Henry W. Taft, at 30 West Forty-eighth street, where ho has been stopping during this visit to New York. He had niready arranged to leave New York for Washington from the Penn sylvania station at a few minutes after 1 o'clock and so remained at his broth er's house for the few minutes neces sary to bid the family goodby. From there he went to the Pennsyl auvla station and hurried at once to bis train, entering from one of the rear gates and stopping only to shake hands with the motorcycle policemen and bid them goodby, saying, with a laugh, that the next time they saw him he would be a private citizen, ne was accompa nied on the train by his secretary, Charles E. Hllles, and his aid, Major Rhodes. Mr. Hllles, who has had a brief consultation with the president, commented at some length on the crisis precipitated In Mexico by the assassi nation of Mndero and Suarez. "If any connection is proved between tho murder and the provisional govern ment of General Iluerta," said Mr Hllles, "the Iluerta government will o' necessity lose caste uot ouly among the Mexicans themselves, but with thp United States and with all foreign countries. As yet there Is no proof that General Iluerta Is In any way re sponsible for the assassination. "There will be no special cabinet meeting called to discuss the situation It is niso unlikely that there will be a special meeting for that purpose at any tlmo In the immedlute future unless there are unforeseen developments. We have no way of judging such pos sibilities or probabilities. "Tho United States government's at titude is clearly defined and will not change solely on nccount of the assassi nations." $30,000,000 LOAN TO MEXICO.
