here, will be used to convey President FL

into by which a guaranty is given that
there shall be nd hostile demonstrations

1t was said that this does not mean thar
1t will be necessary for the United States
and Mexico to use force to suppress emil
grades across the border by any OF the
armed bands in the various Central Amerl-

DICK TROUBLES THEM.
Taft Forces Much Worried Over His
Attitude.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS Ohio, April 16.-The decisive
statement from Senator Dick that he would
take an active part in the Foraker-Taft
controversy and would be on the side of
Senator Foraker has proved a distinct
setback for the Taft movement The Taft
leaders were quick to interpret. the silence
Of Senator Dick up to last Saturday on this
question to mean that he was undecided,
and they were expressing it IN all the pro-
Taft newspapers of the state that it merely
forshadowed the coming declaration of the
junior senator for Taft. Coming right upon
the heels of this statement from the Taft
managers. Senator Dicks statement is CAL
culated to take the breath out of them
Now they are saying that Senator Dick
does not understand the situation in Ohio
and that when he comes home and confers
with some of his lieutenants he will find
that the state Is against Senator Foraker
and get in line with the majority of the
republicans for Secretary Taft The Taft
leaders see in the vigorous alliance of Sena-
tor Dick with Senator Foraker the likeli-
hood that large section of the Taft sup
port will be led away from them. for Sena-
tor Dick did not oppose President Roosevelt
upon several of the propositions that Sena-
tor Foraker did. and the fact that notwith-
each other on these matters and yet stand
together on the general political proposition
in this state is sure to set many republicans
who. on the spur OF the moment, were in
clined to stand against Senator Foraker to
revise their calculation.
