RESORT AT SEASIDE
RECKONING TO NEW
MEXICAN DIPLOMAT
Ambassador Crespo and
Staff Expect to Soon Go
TO Massachusetts.

Magnolia, Mass, is beckoning to
Senior Gilberto Crespo, newly arrived
ambassador of Mexico 20 the. United
States. Although not absolutely de-
cided, Senior Crespo, his son and
nephew, and the secretaries of the en-
bassy, probably will pack up in few
days and go to Massachusetts for the
summer
Senior Crespo first will have a long
private conference with President Taft,
the date for which will be settled soon.
Unless the conditions In Mexico
should grow suddenly badly disturbed.
Senior Crespo will have as easy a sum-
mer as other diplomats. This is not to
suggest, however, that Senior Crespo
dislikes work, On the contrary, he has
worked all his life with a determination
and indefatigability.
Worked Long Hours.
Senior Crespo says that when he was
young mining engineer he was re-
Quired by his employers to work from
s in the morning until II or II o'clock
at night.
The new ambassador is much of a
business man. He entered the diplo-
AIoliS ocL VIC ny "iy Oh IHe Depart
ment Of Promotion, which Is the great
working department OF the national
Government. Because he was a man
of brains and common sense, and a man
of most polished manner, the Mexi-
can administration ten years ago de-
termined to send him to represent Mex
leo abroad. First he had FIVE years In
Havana Then a more difficult five
years at Vienna
The Hapsburgers do not love Mexico
nor MeXicans. The court remembers
the unhappy Emperor Macmillan, close
relative Of Franz Joseph, and his exc
cutton has never been forgiven by some
OF the court circle. Consequently the
position of the ambassador from Mexico
Is not an easy one at the Vienesse court.
Most Important Post.
Senior Crespo now comes to the most
important mission in the Mexican diplo-
matte service. Relations with the Uni
ted States are the most complicated and
sometimes the most delicate Mexico
has. Physical proximity, American in
vestments in Mexico. residence of many
men OF each country within the others
boundaries-all produce hundreds OF sit
uauons for an embassy to consider.
Senior Crespo's family is large enough
to please a certain former President of
the United States. Seven children are
living. Six Of these are with the ant
bassador's wife in Vienna and will come
to this country about the first of tire
year.

Citizens Opposed
To Play Site Change

Contending that the shifting of the
Fairgrounds apparatus in Garfield Park
TO the northwest corner of the plot
would be detrimental, financially and
morally. to those persons owning prop
erty adjoining the proposed new loca-
ton. Garfield Park citizens have made
plans for a meeting of protest Tues
day night. A vigorous protest will be
submitted to the District Commission
ers.
THE change in the location of the
Fairgrounds apparatus would mean a
serious property deterioration to my
neighbors as well as myself" said S.
G. Barnard, 146 F street southeast, to-
day. Under the present arrangement
there are no buildings opposite the ap-
paratus. The proposed shift would
place the children opposite a Row of
residences and as the language used by
those who patroniZe the playground is
objectionable, we are opposed to 1t. The
children who use the playground are
far from being refined. Their talk is
vulgar and the families living in this
section decline to permit their children
to play there.
The people of this section are con-
WINGED that the proposed change in the
location of the Fairgrounds is due to
pull of the real estate dealers who
want to build opposite the present To-
cation of the grounds, but realize they
cannot rent the houses to advantage
with the Fairgrounds opposite. We al
ready have our homes built and We do
not want to suffer a loss"
The meeting Tuesday night is to be
held at the home of Mrs. G. L. Holland,
10 F street southeast.
Protesting citizens assert that at the
time 1t was agreed the playground ap-
paratus should be placed at F and
Third streets southeast. 1t was pro-
vided that the apparatus should not be
placed in any other part Of the park.
Now it is proposed to shift the play
ground to F and Second street south
east and this is held as a breach of
confidence.

HIGH SPEED TOBE
BLAMED FOR FATAL
BRIDGEPORT WRECK
Federal Inspectors Will Not
Place Whole Responsible
ity on Engineer.

Reports of the safety appliance and
wreck inspectors of the Interstate Com
nerce Commission on the wreck of the
Federal Express at Bridgeport, in which
four Washlngtonians were killed. center
around the excessive speed at which
the train was run. The report will deny
that there was an open switch as has
been charged. The switch which the
train passed over was "Cross-over'
switch, and was in order, the report will
say.
Interesting testimony is promised as
10 why the lead engineer took his train
through the CITY so fast. and the inspec-
tors will not place the blame wholly on
him. if at all.
Belnap Refuses to Talk.
These facts regarding the report were
learned this morning at the Offices of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
although Chief Inspector Hiram w. Bel
nap, for the commission, refused to
make a statement regarding the report.
Mr. FeInap. who returned to WASH
ington yesterday afternoon from Bridge
port. reported at once to Commissioner
Caleb McChOrd. who has the matter of
safety appliances and wreck preven-
tions under his special province. Two
other inspectors. Oscar c. Cash and II
! K. Sway, are still at Bridgeport so far
as Mr.. McChOrd and Inspector Belnap
know These two inspectors have been
ATTENDING the inquest and probably will
not be back in Washington until Mon
day or Tuesday. They will then Join
with Mr. Relnap in formulating in exact
terms their report as to the couses of
the wreck.
No Formal Meeting Planned.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
probably will not hold a formal meet
ing to consider the report, according 20
Commissioner McChord. but the sew
eral members will read it separately
and will confer with the inspectors. Af-
ter that the commission expects to make
some recommendations to Congress re-
Earding legislation.
Commissioner McChord declined to
talk about Inspector Belnap's informal
report to him.
The report will probably BE- made
public in due tinIe." said Mr.. McCnord,
hut il would not be right to discuss it
in advance. Certainly it would ne un-
fair before all the facts are presented
to saw that the engineer or the railroad
officials did It apurpose."
