MEXICO CITY, March 5.--Presiden6
Diaz received Henry Lane Wilson,
who succeeds David E. Thompson as
United States ambassador to Mexico
at the ambassadors salon In the Ma
tional palace at noon today.
The new ambassador, accompanied
by his secretaries, James G. Bailey,
Thomas e. Dabney and G.. Andrews
Moriarity, jr., and the military attache,
Captain Giraud Sturtevant, was es-
corted by a squad of cavalry to the
palace, at the doors Of which the party
passed between a double file of army
officers in full uniform.
Mr.. Wilson in presenting his creden-
tial, and at the same time letters of
recall Of his predecessor, said in part:
Neither the government nor the peo-
pie of the United States are unmindful
o fthe great moral and material pro-
gress which Mexico has made in the
last twenty years nor of the existence
here of a government, not only firm in
the maintenance of Its just rights, but
also in the duties and obligations it
owes to the world.
"Mr. President, the territories OF
these two republics run coterminouslY
for 1000 miles and the line which di-

natural. The logical resultant of this
close and intimate contact is the in
termingling of two great national
countries and the creation of many
problems requiring diplomatic solu-
tions. 1 shall confidently rely upon
your excellency's benevolent co-opera-
tion in the solution of all questions
that may arise, and 1 shall hope to bo
a faithful interpreter of the views OF
the Mexican government as well aa
an advocate of those of my own"
General Diaz, replying, spoke in part
as follows: 1T is pleasant to hear the
friendly sentiments and wishes of youn
chief magistrate toward me and chiefly
toward the Mexican nation. The
judgment so favorable and kind, COM
ing as it does from the president of a
republic just admired by the world at
large, can only be hattering to the
government and people of Mexico
stimulating their efforts to follow the
footprints which that friendly nation
has left upon the path of civilization.
"Mr Ambassador, the similarity of
political institutions, the sameness OF
ideals and our nearenss to each other
oblige us to cultivate close relation
ship, while endeavoring at the same
time to settle amicably and well the
problems which this contact may
bring us. You will therefore have the
support of the Mexican nation"

POLICE DOGS ON TRAIL
OF SUSPECTED GUESTS
German Baroness Now Suffering from
Chagrin After Messenger Finds
Necklace at Her Own Home

BERLIN. March 5.-Baroness Won
Regal let a lot of very distinguished
persons understand this week that she
wouldn't trust any of them, and put
them through an ordeal that testified
IN the strongest possible way that the
sweep of her suspicious included every
body. Since she has found that she
was all wrong she has kept to her
room in shame and discontinue, while
the subjects of her suspicion, by gem
eral consent, are treating the affair as
one of the seasons jokes.
AS guest at the Hotel Adlon, where
most of the big visitors to the city
put up and which is also the favorite
resort of resident fashion in the even
ing, the baroness decided that she
would wear $4,000 necklace, her most
resplendent piece of jewelry. To her
dismay it was not in her jewel case
where she expected to find it. Con-
cluding that she must have deposited
1t in the hotel safe, she sent for it, but
the hotel management professed never
to have heard of it. The baroness
lost no time in informing the police.
That night when the hotel corridors
and banquet rooms were crowded with
resident and nonresident wealth and
fashion ten detectives and four police
dogs arrived. The dogs were unleashed
and set to rummaging for the neck
lace. They shifted at everything and
everybody and rubbed their noses
against the most delicate laces and
fabrics and the duStiest corners in the
place. Many fashionable women were
badly frightened and even the hardest
of them resented the performance of
the savage animals.
-'-fter two hours of unavailing search
the doge were called IF and went
away with the detectives. There was
much excitement and people said i'm
polite things about the baroness and
she about the guests in general. Many

TWO LITTLE WORDS
BRING BIG FORTUNES

CHICAGO, March 5.-Roosevelt gets
50 a word for his stuff, Kipling, it is
said, was paid as much as 20 cents a
word for some of his stories, and it is
currently reported that there are news
paper reporters in this world who pull
down as high as So column. Sounds
like real money, doesn't it? Well,
Chicago boasts two persons whose
language is so much more expensive
than that it would be a scandalous
waste of words to attempt even to
draw a comparison.
This is the story of two "yesses."
One of them was worth 100000 and the
money has been collected. The other,
so it is claimed, possesses an intrinsic
value of $4,000, and thereby hangs
tale.
The momentous day on which these
two thrilling and expensive 'yesses"
were uttered was September 20, A. ID.
1908. On that day John r. Smith, a
mine owner, lay dying in ward of
st. Luke's hospital. For seven years
Mr.. Smith had been engaged to Sarah
Peterson. Knowing that his end was
near and being desirous that she
should possess his estate, ne called her
to his bedside and asked her If she
would marry him. Miss Peterson was
about to reply that she would, thereby
wasting another valuable YES" when
it suddenly occurred to both of them
that perhaps owing to Mr.. Smiths
condition the marriage might not be
legal.
And right there is where Lawyer
Crews was called in and asked this
question, or words very much to the
same effect.
"Will it be a good and lawful mar
riage if this man in his present ply
steal and mental strength marries this
WOman?"
Lawyer Crews advanced to the pa
TENTS bedside. He gazed s4ong and
piercingly at the patients face. He
consulted with the doctors. He talked
earnestly with the nurses. He salts
fed himself that the dying mine owner
was of sound mind and understanding
and then he stepped forward and de-
livered himself of the following, to wit:
"Yes."
That word did not flow from Lawyer
Crews lips; it was minted.
/ Immediately afterward q clergyman
was called in and in the course of the
subsequent proceedings propounded to
Miss Peterson the question: "Do you
take this man to be your husband?'
And to that question Miss Peterson
also answered "Yes."
Two hours later Mr.. Smith died. In
the course of the ensuing months Mrs.
Smith was declared by the courts his
lawful widow and was put into pos
session of his estate, valued at 100000.
1t was Lawyer Crews who attended
to the legal details of the probating Of
Smiths estate, and while he was doing
so this question suddenly presented it
self to his mind
''It was l. was it not, who told Mrs.
Smith to say Yes? Answer: Yes.
Well, if the Yes that 1 told Mrs. Smith
then Miss Peterson-to say was
worth 100000, how much was the
Yes worth that 1 said myself?"
And to this problem Mr.. Crews
quick legal mind made the lightning
reply:
Let us say about $35,O0O.'
A few days later Mrs. Smith got
bill for the $4,000, and few days
still later Lawyer Crews was informed
that Mrs. Smith had no intention Of
paying him that sum. The result was
that Lawyer Crews sued Mrs. Smith,
and yesterday the case of two 'yesses"
came on for trial in the court of Judge
PinclSneV-

were heartless enough to express doubt
that she ever owned a $40 600 necklace
and to hint that she merely wanted to
call attention to herself.
Finally the manager persuaded her
to send to her own mansion and see if
she might not have left the necklace at
home. She was confident that nothing
could come of a search at home, but
complied with the request. The mes
senger sent returned With the necklace,
having found it in cupboard there.
The baroness was quite active in
court circles until this Incident and
init NAV account in part for the will
lingness of society to pass over the
visit of the detectives and dogs as
funny.
