views of Secretary I<nox

Washington. November 10-Secretary Knox, while deploring the situation in Mexico City. believes 1t is not repre- sentative of the real attitude of tn e two peoples. In a formal statement tonight he says:
 "The manifestations of resentment toward Americans reported from Mex led is the use of deep regret to the executive government and equally so. am sure to the American people. At no time have the governments and the people of the two countries sus- tained toward each other closer and more cordial relations, predicated upon common purposes and sympathies, than now.
 Tt is most unfortunate that the bru- tai crime in our country should be made the excuse for demonstration of hostility toward Americans in Mex leo. If is a satisfaction to believe that such demonstrations find little sym pathy in the body of Mexican people and none in the Mexican government. am sure the Mexican government will be swift to put down all hostile dem onstrationsS against Americans in Mex ico and to punish those engaged in them as this government will be prompt to press for the punishment of persons guilty of crimes against citizens or Mexico residing in the country.
 At late hour tonight 1t was an nounced at the Mexican embassy that no word of the troubles in the Mexican capital had been received from tha government.

New York, November lO.-Judge Alton B. Parker authorized the following state- ment tonight
 q am not unappreciative of the fact that many Food people favor my selection as a candidate for the United States to | succeed Senator Depew. l am. indeed. most gratified to them for thus sug- gesting a most attractive opportunity for useful public service but my obligations are such that I would not accept the of flee. even If 1t should be rendered me. D. Cady Herrfck, mentioned as another probability, said today that he should certainly accept the senatorship were 1t offered to him.
 Edward M. Shepard, also spoken or, was non-commital
 Several new names were advanced today in connection with the senstorshlp. Among them were Charles r. Murphy leader of Tammany Hall; Mayor Gaynor, Thomas M. Osborne of Auburn, Norman E. Mack and Martin W. Littleton. repre- sentative-elect from the Oyster Bay dis trict. John B. Stanchfleld, William F. Sheel1an and Edward M. Shepard con tinue to figure in the gossip.
 Charles F. Murphy said nothing could induce him to take the position. He also announced that he will start tomorrow either for Hot Springs. Ark, or Mount Clemens, Mich. for rest after his cam paign activities.
 Although Mayor Gaynor refused 10 he candidate for governor, those who de- sire to put him in the race for senator argue that in view of the election re- suits the reasons that impelled his re- fusal no longer exist. The mayor has said nothing.
 Depew Has No Regrets
 New York, November 1o.-Apparentiy unruffled by the fact that his career in the United States Senate had come to an end, Senator Chauncey NJ Depew sat in his library today and talked of lis 54 years of public life, which practical- ly ceased on election night when demos CT atic legislature was elected
 'I am the happiest man in the stata of New York" he said. Y am "A years of age: have been 54 years actively in politics and 1 think I can say that my ambitions have been reasonably satis- field. During tho past campaign 1 made sometimes two speeches night, oncd talking for an hour in the rain and tha next morning my voice was in as good condition as ever. My health IS good and my desire of years to be hNppy my~ self and share the happiness with others has been fairly well satisfied.
 "I was fairly certain that the republio- ans would be defeated. for the change irt the vote that elected Foss tn Massas chusetts, Ravens in New York and Plaisted in Maine was so nearly tho sand that there was no doubt that the country was up in arms.'

Severe Measures Aie Taken to Punish the Students
RIOTERS ARE IN PRISON
Notified By Minister Greet That the Insults to Americans
 VIII He Stopped

Mexico City, November 10-Repressive measures adopted by the Mexican au- thorities prevented today a repetition of yesterdays scenes in the capital and resulted in a day of comparative tram quility. An attempt by the demonstrat- ors to gather late this afternoon in the neighborhood of the new National the- atre was discouraged by the mounted po- lice who kept the crowds moving. The foreign office has advised Ambassador Wilson that there will be no repetition of the rioting. Strict orders have been given the police, Minister Creel said, to sary, gatherings of any description in the streets.
 Visits were exchanged between Minis ter Greet and the American ambassador during the day and verbal reply was given by the former to MT. Wilson's ur- gent message of yesterday concerning the insult to the United States flag and to American citizens. What the nature of the reply was MT. Wilson declined to say but intimated that the same, when put into writing and formally transmit ted, would show a proper attitude on lilc pdit LII lHe MexlCau government.
 Assurances were also given that sev- eral newspapers whose ntterances have melted the demonstrations which devel- opened into riots will be suppressed. One of the latter, Fl Pals, today printed a suggestion for boycott throughout the republic.
 Another. Fl Diario Del Hogan pulp lshed cartoon depicting the Mexican people clubbing Uncle sam while in kIxaI. s.lr -4-A.. of Rodrigues at Rock Springs, Tex.
 Ambassador Wilson was warmly con. graduated by business men and others of the American colony personally and by letter today for the aggressive stand. he has taken in the crisis.
 Reports which have reached Mexico City from the United States that an at tempt had been made upon the life of the ambassador were without any foun- dation in fact.
 Fears that with the coming of darkness tonight violence would break out anew proved to be groundless. The presence of numerous squads of mounted police with carbines slung across their backs, who patrolled the business streets until late into the night prevented everything in the nature of disorder.
 While several hundred students walt ed in the school of jurisprudence, a number of their comrades called upon Governor Landa to request the release of those of their number who were arrested last night and in addition the privilege of making further demon stration. Upon receiving a refusal Of their denta nds the students quietly dispersed.
 Governor I.anda Is quoted as having told the students committee that their classmates who were jailed last night acted like hoodlums and were incom- municado.
 You may not even speak to them.'. he said "I have notified the director of each school that any attempt to make demonstration of any kind would be put down energetical1y. The police have orders to fire if their first com mand is not obeyed."

Half Million Men May Quit April l


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March
29.-America will be in the
throes of the greatest strike it
has ever seen, If the United Mine
Worekrs fail to make an agree
ment with the operators to re-
place the one which expires April 1
The membership of the United
Mine Workers is larger than it
has ever been, and is approaching
the 100000 mark.
The anthracite miners, though
not involved in the present wage
agreement, will probably go out
in sympathy.
Events of the last few months
show that unorganized workers
are even more ready to strike
than union men. So the miners
plan to throw organizers into all
the non-union districts. They will
urge them to throw down their
picks with their organized COM
rades.
The miners principal demand is
an increase of 10 cents a ton,
which is more than is per cent
on the whole. They also ask
strict eight-hour day, a Saturday
half holiday, and time and a half
for overtime. They claim that
the cost of living has gone up
about so per cent In mining
towns in the past 10 years. while
their wages have been increased
only 121k per cent.

THREATENS ANOTH.
ER OUTBURST AND GOV
ERNMBNT ORDERS INHAB-
TnANTS TO LEAVE VICIN-
ITY.

CATANIA, March 20. - The
civil authorities today ordered
$4,000 residents of the southern
slope of Mount Aetna and vicin-
ity to abandon their homes i'm an
tfcipation of a great eruption of
the volcano.
The action Of the authorities
was based on an official report
by a party of scientists who risked
their lives in climbing the noun
tain and making an examination
of several of the craters. The
scientists could approach only the
fitsures of the mountain and this
they did at eminent risk of suf-
location.
Choked Up Temporarily.
The report shows that Aetna IS
choked with masses OF rocks and
ashes which have become dis
tended upward by the great pres
sure from gases in the interior
of the mountain.
The constant recurring expo
sions within the craters lead 10
the belief on the part of the OBJ
servers that Aetna will burst the
temporary safety valve and throw
la tremendous fountain of VOL
canic matter from her depths.
Inhabitants i'm Sorry Plight.
The orders to the inhabitants
of the villages on Aetna's slopes
have caused sorrow among the
refugees here. They believe that
the destruction of their homes
|and farms is foreshadowed in She
government action.
Already thousands of peasants
had left their houses and camped
in the open fields. No thew have
been ordered to abandon these
and proceed to considerable dis
tance from the volcano.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March
29.-The supreme court of the
United States has lost one of its
ablest members in the death of
David J. Brewer, who expired aft
er a sudden stroke of apoplexy at
his home in this city at 1880
o'clock last night. Justice Brew
er had been a member of the SUI
preme bench for twenty years.
President Taft arrived here to-
day from New York, and he .ex-
pressed profound sorrow at the
sudden demise of Justice Brewer,
whom he characterized as an able
iurist and an esteemed personal
friends.
Justice Brewer is survived by
a widow and two daughters. No
arrangements for the funeral
have been announced. The dead
justice was rs years old, and
although born in Smyrna, where
his parents were stationed as
Christian missionaries, he had
lived in Kansas a greater part of

Robbery a Motive.
Not only murder but robbery
was committed in the room. The
body was lying partly clad on a
bed when the police arrived. The
room was in disorder. Not a
peny was left on the girl, and
her stockings had been rippei
open, apparently by the slayer.
Police Seek Filipino.
The police are following
two leads. They are seeking
a Filipino and white man.
The Filipino had been seen
; in the girls room earlier in
the evening and is reported
to have quarreled with her
during the day.
The white man is sought on tae
testimony of the young man, a
former sailor in the navy, who
claims he had known the girl In
San Diego. He told the police that
he had met the girl in San Diego
last year, and she had mentioned
the jealousy of a man with whom
she was living. Yesterday, the
former sailor saw here here. and
she told him the man had follow
ed her from California and that
she feared him.
Jame% H. Claxton, aged 25.
who had lived with the dead wom-
an for year and half, gave him
self up to the police this mora
ing and the story he told leads
the officials to believe the murder
was committed by a Chinaman.
Claxton met the girl a year and
a half ago in Vancouver and as
far as he knew she has neyer
been in San Diego. The girl went
into the district as soon as it was
lreopened.
Girl of Refinement.
The fact that her rings and
other jewelry were not touched
puzzles the police. She was ex.
pensively dressed and refined sp.
pearing, showing none of tas
usual marks left by a life of dis
sipation.
