DICKINSON HAS NO
INTERVENTION IDEA
Secretary of War Does Not Be.
lieve American Army Will
Cross Into Mexico,

New York, March 14.-"I do not boz
lieve there will be any movement az
our troops into Mexico"
This was the statement here today OF
j. M. Dickinson, secretary OF war, who
plans to sail for Panama this after
noon.
There can be no excuse for interven-
tion," continued the secretary, unless
the Mexican government proves negli-
gent in protecting the persons or the
property of foreign residents, and such
negligence would have to be firmly es-
tablished, In my opinion, before any
such step could be taken. There are no
conditions now existent TO give us such
warrant.
I'm order to maintain the neutrality
laws it has been deemed advisable to
send troops to the border, and on ac-
count oc the immense length of the
frontier n the fact that the Rio
GranGe can be crossed at almost any
point, a larger number OF troops has
been dispatched than would otherwise
prove necessary"
Secretary Dickinson said there was n
possibility that he might postpone his
trip to Panama, but IL so il would be
because Of complications in settling
pending agreements between the Pam
anna Railroad company and the steam
ship lines operating for the govern
ment. Mexican affairs would not in
fuence his plans.
Later Secretary Dickinson decided
net to sail today.

Rabbi Wise Rebukes Secretary
Hall of the Restriction
League.

~ Branford, Conn, March l4.-Mrs.
was the subject discussed at the weekly
luncheon of the Republican club and
The debate had not proceeded very far
before Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, OF this
;ity, rebuked Prescott f, Hall, OF Bos-
ton, secretary of the immigration Re-
striction league, N the preceding
speaker, for cha~racteriing immigrants
rs human freight and charging that inn
migrants now coming from countries OF
southern Europe, were in a large meas
ure men n women who had not made
good at home.
Rabbi Wise ran down the list Of great
men produced in the countries of south
ern Europe, starting with the Savior
and taking in q round dozen philoso-
pliers.
II am a Jew and a Jewish teacher,
and I. take exception to hat statement
ibout southern races" he continued.
AS regards the question OF immigra-
ton I may be too optimistic, but I
would rather be confoundedly optimis-
tic than undoubtedly pessimistic. I
believe, as Secretary Nagel just stated
ne believes, the policy of the open door
is the best for this great country"

About Suicide and Decide

Cleveland, March ia chum's ban .

carried on until neither girl would re-
fuse the dare, nearly caused the deaths
of Eva Bowen and Viola Rogers.
Although respondent and low spirit

destruction until yesterday, when one
of them suggested suicide, more as a
joke than as a means to end their
trouble. The dare was taken and with
neither willing to weaken, they pur-
chased poison. turned on the gas and
lay down TO die together.
Il don't know just why we did IT,
said Miss Bowen at Charity hospital.
where she is recovering from gas and
chloroform.
Viola and I have hit the bumps In
life pretty hard lots of times. We came
here a couple of week. ago, worked Ia
hours a day, seven days a week, until
finally we lost our jobs.
Saturday we went along the streets,
went to a couple of moving picture
shows and then somehow forget now
we both thought of finishing It.
Neither, I guess, thought the other was
game, anu we kept it up 10 sec which
would weaken first"

Ell Paso. Tex, March 16.-"AIl that
the United States demands of Mexico
is order, justice n Independence" de-
clared Theodore Roosevelt this morning
at q breakfast given in his honor by

The c%oloneps remarks were the only
u~tterance he has made on the Mexican
situation and came as a complete sur
prise to the members Of his party.
Colonel Roosevelt led to his obserVa-
tiOns on the Mexican trouble by saying
that the prosperity Of his neighbOrs wa
a condition of the prosperity Of any
man. He declared that honest dealing
between man and man was the only
certain foundation of prosperity. The
same thing was true, he said. of the re-
lations of communities to each other.
Pausing as though to select his
words, he then said that he thought he
spoke for all Americans when he said
that all the United States demanded of
Mexico was order, justice, independ-
ence."
Continuing, he declared that this
country wished to see all of it's neigh
borS prosper; that his hearers who
dwelt along the southern border knew
from experience how the turmoil" to
the south had affected business. He
said that this country only demanded
OF it's n~eighborS that order should reign
on their borders IN that order should
be established upon justice.

PARDON CASES NOT
ACTED ON BY TAFT
President Plays Golf and Delays
Reading Petitions of Con-
victed Bankers.

New York, March 14.-President
Taft played the full 1S-hole golf course
this morning. He was followed to the
inks by Secretary Norton, who had as
guests three friends from Chicago.
Shortly after Mr.. Taft came in from
the curse IL was said he has not so
much as glanced at the papers In the
proposed Morse pardon case. Reports
Seaching Augusta from New York that
he president would today sign a par-
Ion for the convicted banker now serv-
ing a term In the Atlanta federal peni-
.iary are entirely erroneous.
Papers presented as a basis for the
Morse pardon are extremely volumin-
BUS. The president has not examined
these documents yet. and he insists ON
sitting every detail OF evidence In ali
pardon applications or appeals for SEN
lence communication.
There is little likelihood that am
sction will be taken on either the Morse
or Walsh cases until after MIR. Taft
returns to Washington next week.
