CAPRICE OF A SOVEREIGN
Alone 1t Can No Longer
Disturb the Peaceful Re
lations Between Peoples
Calm and Rational View
of Recent Border Trouble

New York, Nov. 15.-SenOr De La
Barra, Mexican ambassador to the
United States, explained the attitude
of his government on the Rodriguez
lynching in Texas and the subsequent
demonstration against Americans in
Mexico, in an address at the Quill
club tonight
In former times,' he said, two
nations could be plunged into the
horrors of war by the simple caprice
of sovereign. Today such thing
would be impossible. The people i'm
pose their will, and within proper
bounds they are the arbiters of their
destinies. You have lately seen proof
of the beneficial effect of such inter
national policy in the unhappy events
that have produced passing disturb
ances on either side of our frontier.
"The manifestation of public senti-
ment in Mexico. which would have
been easily understandable within rea-
sonable bounds, exceeded the limits
required by law, but my government.
acting with the utmost promptnesS,
repressed such unexpected disorders.
The American government was not
responsible for the awful crime COM
mitted. nor is any government re-
sponsible for the punishable acts
which give rise to a public manifes-
tation bordering on legitimate senti-
ment.
'The statements simultaneously
made by the secretary of state of the
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1910-11-16

United States and the secretary of
foreign affairs of Mexico show the
same sentiment and contain equal
promise of prompt and effective
solution of the case. My govern
ment has already shown by its prompt
action that it is fully aware of its
obligations and is ready to discharge
them consistently with the sovereign
rights in Mexico, over whose integ-
rity we are very jealous.
when this has been accomplished
in a sincere spirit of justice, other
legal consequences will have been full
filled and the matter will be history.
But the lesson for the future will be
profitable one, without altering in
the slightest the friendship between
the two countries and governments -
SenOr De La Barra explained that
it has not been definitely established
whether Rodriguez was a Mexican
subject, but that this will soon be
determined by his government.

Panama, Nov. 1.-THE Panama ca

This information was given out by
President Taft today while inspecting

Lieutenant Colonel GoethaIs desire

tenders and get the machinery working
smoothly. Ships. meanwhile, will be
granted the privilege of the canal, but
at their own risk and delay. In addi-
tion it is announced by the colonel that
the report that Taft's visit is the fore
runner of a request for another 100000

The canal will be completed in 1913.

pleased with the outlook for early
completion and congratulated Colonel
GOethals. He expressed amazement at
the work accomplished since his-visit
in February. 1909.
Taft displayed a knowledge of the
technical details of the construction of
the canal He was greatly surprised at

of which can be gained from the fact
that the train was under way nearly
three hours on Il spur track Overrun-
ming the great fills. The visit of Taft
has utterly. dispelled any fears gained
from sensationalists respecting the sta
bility of the dam base, which is half a
mile wide, and SO gradually sloped
that is could never be recognized as a
dam.
Goethals explained that the informal
opening in 1913 necessitate immediate
action on the part of congress relative
to toll rates, because eighteen months
will be required by the shipping inter
ests to adjust their rates to the new
routing The president expressed him

THIRTY MILLION FINE
REDUCED A LITTLE
4,
STANDARD OIL COMPANY WINS
AN IMPORTANT LAW POINT.
Its Financial Value to the Company
at This Time is 500, $4,000.

Jackson. Tenn, Nov 15.-The in
dictment of the United States against
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
ON the so-called Grand Junction con-
cession charge, by which it was
sought TO have assessed penalties ag-
gregating S30.0S4, 900, tonight stands
shorn of its magnitude.
The prosecution met reverses in a
ruling, of Judge John Mccall of the
federal circuit court late today on a
point of law which in one sweep
dwarfed the monetary feature of the
issue by exactly $29, 9,134, 900. and in
general played havoc with the bill of
charges as set up by the govern
ment
1t was the ruling of Judge Mccall
that within the meaning of the Elkins
anti-rebate law a settlement and not
individual shipments constitutes an
offense. In the Indictment it is
charged that the company committed
l,524 offenses. basing each of the
counts on a shipment from the COM
pany's refinery at Whiting, Ind, to
points in the southeast through Grand
Junction, Tenn.
The evidence shows only forty-si
settlements, all by monthly transac-
tiOns between the Standard Oil COM
pany and the carriers named in the
bill within the years covered, 1908 to
1905. Hence, should the company be
found guilty Of all the charges now
standing, the maximum penalty pos
sible to be assessed would be a fine
of 100000. For each offense the law
provides that $4,000 may be taxed
The minimum is $1,000.

the solution now offered of a mys-
terry of fourteen years concerning
the fate of the members of the
Austrian scientific expedition from
islands. The discovery was made
by DR.. Northcott Deck. of the South
Sea Evangelical mission
News of the finding of the re-
mains of the party from the Alba
tross, was received today by the
steamer Zealandia from Australia
The expedition from the Albatross
was headed by Baron Won Norbeck.
and included Lieutenant Budick. mid
shipman DeBaufort. and nine sail
ors. DR.. Deck found evidences of a
massacre on Tatuve island, and from
the natives learned the details of the
slaughter.
The AustrPns. according to the ma
tives. were surprised by the blacks.
Baron Won Norbeck was tomahaWk-
ed by a savage who crept up behind
him. The sailors fought off the
blacks after several were wounded,
and made a camp where the baron
died. During the night, the camp
was attacked again, and only three
of the men escaped. They made
their way to the coast without learn
ing the fate of their fellows who fell
into captivity.
Remnants of the remains cast aside
after the cannibal feast were found
near the scene of the massacre. and
this leads Deck to believe that the
captives fell prey to the inhuman
practices of the savages.
