Uncle Sam Is Aroused at
Imprisonment of
American.
COOK is DENIED
BAIL OR TRIAL
Indications Are That International
Complications May
Follow.
By ]. C. wELLIvER.

The imprisonment of James A.
Cook. an American citizen, IN a
Mexican prison at GuadalaIara,
where he is denied either bail or
trial, is bringing the relations of
Mexico and the United States into
a rather sharp phase. The State
Department has Just issued a state
ment of the facts of the case, which
includes some interesting CORE
spondence. The documents include
a telegram which was sent to Am
bassador Thompson on December
20, demanding immediate informa-
ton as to what the Mexican govern
ment intended to do.
PATIENCE is EXHAUSTED. ...
On December 2S, Ambassador
Thompson had asked the Mexican
foreign office for information, and
no reply has been received. The
patience of the Washington State
Department being about exhausted,
the following sharp message was
sent to Ambassador Thompson on
December 20:
What reply has been received
II any, to embassy's note to for
eign office dated November 29, re-
garding Cook. His long fmpFison-
ment without trial causing consid-
cradle agitation in various parts OF
the United States, and arousing not
a little criticism and unfriendly
feeling Department would con-
slider it most unfortunate, which
feeling Mexico will no doubt share
II disposition of this case were
such as TO afford occasion for un.
due agitation in this country. Pres.
ident is being importuned to take
action, and has asked department
for report. You may informally
show this cable to minister foI
foreign affairs"
NOTE is threatening.
The foregoing note is Of s sort 4
cause a foreign government 70 sit NJ
and take notice. It hetrays a measur,
OF dissatisfaction which suggests tha
Mexico is not regarded in the Amerl
can state Department as particularly
more conslderate Of American interests
than Nicaragua has been. In fact it f.
the sort Of communication to impress
the Diaz government that ifs efforts al
a mediator in Nicaragua would be mucl
more appreciated If its own attitude
toward American citizens were les
similar 20 that or Nicaragua

FRESH HOPE GIVEN
FOR GRAND OPERA
ShubertS Said to Be With
HammerStein and Funds
May Be Combined.

A new hope was given to opera lovers
who are hoping for a grand opera house
IN Washington, when II became known
that the Shuberts are allied with oscar
Hammerstein i'm the project to build
house here. and that the funds sub
scribed by citizens Of the Capital for
an auditorium may be devoted to the
opera house project.
Though washington business men
have already subscribed to the project,
II is not thought the $4,000 needed to
build an opera house can be gained by
popular subscriptions alone. So the d.
rectors Of the auditorium fund. among
whom are G. C.. Glover and r. J. SteIl-
wagon, are said to be considering the
advisability Of consolidating the audi
torium and opera house projects.
None Of the sponsors for the audi
torfum fund, which IS now about $15,-
600. would discuss the matter this morn
ing. cit was said, however that this
disposal could not he made Of the funds
unless authorization was made by sub
.scribers.
Interests May Be Allied.
II the plan is carried through 81 is
probable that subscribers will be asked
whether their subscriptions viii be al
lowed TO stand under the new coudi-
tions and % IS thought most Of them
will be glad to see the auditorium and
opera house interests allied.
Among the men who are said to be
interested IN the opera house project
are Perry Belmont with a yearly sub
scription OF $4,000; Thomas Walsh. Slo,-
90, John r. Mclean SlOWUi EdsoE
Bradley. $4,000; Senator 5. y. Elkins,
s. 600: Senator Chauncey Depew, 5000;
Cen. William +. Draper, 5000; Mrs.
Mary Scott Townsend, 5000.
Other subscriptions are said to range
from 5000. the lowest sum for sea-
son ticket 10 "A box. to 5000
Specializing on the Belasco
The chief topic Of discussion In the
atrical circles is the rumored alliance
Of the Shuberts ard the Hammersteln
interests. Speculation is rife as TO
what disposition would be made Of the
| BelascO Thoater in the event OF the
Shuberts acquiring an interest in the
opera house. It has been known for
some time that the Shuberts were con
templating building or acquiring here d

service continued for about three
years and for which he received in
all sss,000:"
He stated, however, that Mr.. Hen

made in the urgent deficiency bill.
Mr.. Heney, he said, had received in
all from the government, $4,000.
Asked by Mr.. Cox of Indiana if any
of this deficiency was due to the en-
ployment of special counsel to pros
ecute any trust, Mr. Tawney answer
ing in the affirmative, said that the
suit against the tobacco trust had oc-
easioned some of it.
Mr.. Bennett of New York, added
that the prosecution OF the Turpen-
