Mr. Libby has right to scoff, for

WILL NOT INTERFERE
WITH PLANS OF TAFT
Congressman Cautious About Handi-
Gaping the Department of
Justice.

Washington, Dec. While the impress
sion seems to prevail among members of
congress that there should be a thorough
investigation Of the customs service as a
result of the sugar frauds at the port OF
New York, there seems to be no dispo-
sitiOn to take the matter out of the
treasury department and of the depart
ment of Justice.
Three resolutions bearing upon this
subject, introduced in the house yester-
day, were referred to the committee on
rules Representative Campbell of Kan
sas, author Of one resolution, called at
the department Of justice today to ascer-
tain the attitude of the department to-
wards his measure. In conversation with
Attorney General WiCkersham he heard
emphasized the desire expressed by the
President in his message that congress
should keep ''hands OFF, at present.
Mr.. Campbell said afterWaTd that he
told Mr.. WiCkersham that there was a
mass of testimony to be had bearing
upon frauds in the customs service
which would be irrelevant in a lawsuit
but which would be pertinent for the
country to know and could be brought
to light only by means of a congressional
inquiry. Mr.. Campbell assured Mr.
Wickersham that there was no desire on
the part of himself OF other members to
interfere with the work of the executive
departments Mr. Campbell said he in
tended to have a conference with the
committee on rules in regard to his res
OlutiOn to ascertain prospects for an in
quiry.
Probe the campaign contributions Of
the sO-called sugar trust and show who
gave and how much, is, in effect, the di-
rectiOn of bill introduced today by Rep
resentative Gillespie Of Texas It calls
for a congressional investigation of the
sugar frauds.

WOE FOLLOWS BOY
WHO SAW DIAMONDS
Valuable Gems Lost on Main
Bring About Mixup at PO-
lice Station.

II saw II Erst!
mo. / saw it firstr cried two newsies
as they dashed over the street, at Sec
ond South and Main, between 6 and z
o'clock Monday night, with eyes riveted
on d little package that had dropped
from a mans pocket.
But the package has brought sorrow
to the boy who really did see it first,
ana little Lon WhOtcOtt, 13-year-oid son
OF Mrs. Anna WhOtcott SO North First
West street. is under arrest at police
headquarters facing what appears to be
a change of grand larceny
To the amaZement OF the yOungsteT.
the package contained a diamond ring
and stick pin. A little Jewish ''newsie'
at once recognized its value and offered
Lon $40 for the package. But such q
large sum of money frightened the lad
mother.
The diamonds at once enchanted the
eyes of the mother and her daughter
They had just begun to admire the jew
els when the owner, J. II. EXander $50
Sixth South street, entered and demanded
them. Mrs. WhOtcOtt refused to give
them up and Exander finally induced the
woman to place the diamonds in Tne
hands of third person, Moses c. Davis,
an attorney, as referee Of ownership.
Last night Lon WhOtcOtt was placed
under arrest. Exander, accompanied by
George +. Lloyd Of the Cash Milling
company, Al Main street, and Attorney
Davis, called at the police station in an
effort to have him released. The police
asked that the diamonds be turned over
TO Detective George Sheets. This result
ed in abuse as regards honesty and it is
the claim of Attorney Davis that he was
forcefully elected from police headquar-
ters by Lieutenant Shannon. The latter
claims that Exander, Lloyd and Davis
insulted him when they questioned the
honesty OF the police department.

H, Clay Pierce Declared Not Guilty
Of False Swearing by a
Texas jury.

Austin, Tex, Dec THE jury in the
case of II. Clay Pierce, charged with false
swearing, returned a verdict today of not
guilty.
Judge Calhoun, in a special charge to
the jury, sustained the contention of MIR.
Pierce's lawyers that he was immune
from trial under the laws Of Texas, as
the counsel for the state sought to use
testimony given by Mr.. Pierce on the wit
ness stand in Missouri with the inten-
ton. if possible, of securing his convic-
ton.
At public auction late today the prop
erty of the Waters-Pierce Oil company
was sold to S. W. Fordyce and assOci-
ates of St Louis The price bid was
81 431, 7H.
The property of the Security Oil COM
pany was brought by john Ssaley of Gal
weston for $4,000, and that Of the Ma
vaTrO Refining company of Corsicana was
also sold to Sealey for S75000t.
Sixty ears of the Union Tank company

GIVES DIAz MUCH PRAISE
Speech of Former Ambassador
Thompson at q Banquet Given
in Mexico City.

Mexico City, Dec. david H. Thomp-
son, who a few days ago retired from
the office of ambassador Of the United
States to this country, at a banquet Civ
en- tonight by the American club, made
the following reference to President DiaZ:
My four years intimate relations with
the president of Mexico makes the cause
of the evolution that has come to his
country under hun as clear to me as the
sun; namely, his sincerity, his honesty of
purpose, his utter devotion TO his cOun-
try, and his straightforward honesty in
dealing with individuals and objects.
mo number Of slanderOus articles of
the character of some 1 have read can
do more than make fools of sOft-hearted
readers who do not know Mexico and her
builders. Those of us who know Mexico
understand the cruel intention of the writ
eTs and how baseless are such articles
The proof of my statement is in the
dozens of letters I have lately received
from illiterate persons making demands
that all sorts of things be done to Presi-
dent Diaz and his government because of
his conduct of the Yaqui question. l ven
ture the belief that any Yaqui ever sent
to YGcutan preferred this TO death as
that is what his conduct and crimes mer-
tied. The Mexican government has been
more kindly in saving these blOodthirsty
Indians than justice demanded"

were given a military trial and were
declared to have been acting with the
revOlutiOnists. This being the case, they
were not legally executed.
In case of war the United States
might engage a civilian to fly a balloon
over an enemys lines, continued the
authority, and if captured, he should be
treated as prisoner Of war, and tried
under the international military laws.
A spy is a man who operates in dis
guise or under false pretenses. He can
be executed summaTily.
This is the substance of an opinion on
which Secretary Knox is basing his ac-
ton. He recognizes that if the men
were operating with the TevOluuOnists,
openly or as spies, they forfeited their
right TO American protection. But since
they were not charged as spies, he does
not propose to allow Nicaragua to take
such liberties with American citizens
as TO ignore the common military laws
of civilized nations.
