SMELLING OF MAZATLAN
Serious Complications Likely to Fol. low Action of Mexican Feder-

Washington. May S.-That the Mex ican government has involved itself in most serious complications, not only with the United States, but also Euro. pean nations, because of the shelling of Mazatlan by federal gunboats, was the statement made here by the au- thorities on international law.
 The bombardment of an unfortfied town is positively prohibited in the accepted rules of war, which have been in effect for nearly two decades Mazatlan is without Notifications and the conferences explicitly declared that the presence of troops in city was not sufficient justification for bombardment.
 Every European nation represented ny it's citizens in Ma2atlan. it is ex- pected, will make vigorous protest.

PROOF IF MORE
 MURDERS FOUND OFFICIALS CEASE DIGGING ON INDIANA FARM AFTER GETTING
 CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. PRISONER BREAKS DOWN Sobs as He Describes the Staying of kemper-Vctim Brother Is
 Summoned.
PRISONER BREAKS DOWN

Fowler, Ind, May S.-Evidence that at least two men have been slain on the farm of the eccentric Shotgun John" Poole near here. was un- earthed secretly by Benton county of hcials. But, conclusive as they be- lieve this evidence to be, they refuse to make any comment on it, or even to renew their digging for bodies on the farm, for fear of possible mob vio- lence.
 Careful examination of the muti- lated body that was dug out of Poole's cornfield has convinced Coroner Le Sage that 1t was not that of Joseph Kemper, the missing farm hand.
 Poole, charged with murdering Kem- per, swears ne shot the man acci- dentally the bullet entering the back of his head. But there is not the slightest mark on the skull of the body found that could be classified as bullet wound. Moreover, the body apparently is that of a man much shorter than KeNpor was.
 The body found had been cut, bruised and mangled, evidently the re- suit of terrific hcnd-to-hand struggle with an enraged antagonist Poole, however, says the bullet wound was Kemper's only injury. He admits, however, that he cut tie mans leg off so the body would fit into the grave he had dug for it.
 The immediate conclusion of the prosecuting officials here was that they had unwittingly stumbled on the body of another victim of the murder farm" and that Kemper's body still is buried some place in the cornfeld.

DEPUTY BEATEN BY DIETZ
Swears That Cameron Dam Defender SlueJed Him in t9o5-Defense
 Scores a Point.

Hayward. Wis, May S.-Testimony, that in 1905 John Dietz resisted with violence the service of legal papers and struck former Deputy United States Marshal Jonas twice on the head with the butt of revolver was introduced by the prosecution in the Dietz trial in spite of objection by Dietz. The court ruled the evidence was admissible as showing the atti- tude of the defendant toward officers.
 Jonas testified he made service on both Mrs. Dietz and John. The testi- mony was to show that Dietz fired shots in the battle.
 All told the state put eleven wit nesses on the stand to prove shots from the barn were heard.
 The only defense developed in the cross examination was that Harp might have been killed by dehected ball from one of the guns of the at tacking party.

MEXICO CITY IS ALARMED
Word Comes From Palace Aged Presi- dent Will Not Give ir to
 Insurgents.

Mexico City, May S.-There is in- creasing fear that Diaz will refuse the demand of Gen. Madero. the insur- recto leader that he resign Those close to the aged president say his recent actions and words already have constituted an emphatic negative re- ply to Madero.
 "Diaz is a fighter said Dr. Manuel Bonilla, president of Honduras, who was received in audience by DiaZ He told me that he didn't like the idea of being virtually forced from office by the nsurrectos and that he favored fighting for what he believes to be not only his rights, but for the good of the Mexican people,"
 Foreigners Continue to Go.
 The pesslmism regarding Diaz's de- cision is reflected in the continued exodus of foreigners from the capital That there will he a tremendous up- heaval if Diaz continues obstinate is indicated by cries of Down with Diaz," and Long Live Madero," which are resounding through the city with alarming frequency.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

Now that the legislatures Of more
than two thirds of the states have de-
clared in favor of a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
of senators by direct vote, ,the pos
sibility of procuring such an amend
ment. in spite of the objections of
the Senate, becomes an interesting
factor in the situation.
If t%wo-thirds of the states, through
their legislatures, formally apply to
congress to call a convention for
the proposing of constitutional amend
ments such an application becomes
mandatory. The constitution makes
no provision as to the election and
composition of such a convention, the
procedure and other details being,
therefore, left to the discretion of
congress.
There has never been a constiCu-
tional convention to consider amend
ments-all those acted upon having
been submitted by congres5-but the
original constitutional convention
was composed of delegates elected by
the respective legislatures by order
of congress.
There are also tEo ways by which
constitutional amendments may be
ratified the ratification of three
lourths of the states being necessary
Ratification may be by state legisla-
ture or by state conventions called
especially for that purpose. The
latter method has never been en-
ployed.
The senate, in defying the will of
the people in the matter of sena-
torial elections, is inviting resort to
the constitutional convention. And
if such a convention were called its
deliberations would not necessarily b
confined to any one proposed amend
ment. 1t might be a busy conyen-
ton, for doubtless a goodly number
of amendments would be proposed to
it. And whatever the amendments
approved by the convention might be,
and regardless of their number, con-
sress would bee compelled to sub
nit them to the legislatures for ap-
proval or rejection.
The sudden orders for the army
folks to pack UP their belongings and
move upon the border Of Texas with
out delay has a disciplinary value
that may be worth its cost. If we
are to have an army at all it is well
to keep it in perfect trim, and moth
ing is better for this purpose than
to play at the war game exactly as if
hostilities were impending. If in
the meantime the government can
do a good turn for a friendly neigh
Dor, and incidentally protect a hun
dred millions or SO of American in
yestments across the Rio Grrande,
the demonstration will prove salts
factory all around.
