REPORT OF FRICTION
Taft and Knox Are Said to Be
at Odds Over Mexico.
State Department Doesn't Know His
Exact Whereabouts-Wilson
Also Is Absent.

Lack of harmony between Secretary
Knox and other officials of the admins
tration. including even President Taft.
with respect to the extensive military and
naval demonstrations in the vicinity OF
Mexico is rumored in various quarters.
Friends of the administration insist the
rumor is based mainly on the fact that
Secretary Knox has been absent from
Washington ever since the first announce
ment was made last Monday of the pro-
posed mobilization of troops and war
ships in the vicinity of Mexico.
Secretary Knox left this city imme-
diately after the adjournment of Con-
gress for the avowed purpose of seeking
rest and recuperation in Florida. The
length of his vacation was not stated
and it is not known exactly when he
will resume his official duties in this city.
May Go to Havana.
According to the latest advices from
him it was his purpose to extend his trip
to Havana before returning to Washing
ton. Whether he has left Florida or has
started for Cuba apparently is not known
at the State Department.
Assistant Secretary Wilson, who
in the absence of Secretary Knox, has
gone to Aiken, S. c., for the treatment
Of a stubborn cold, and Second Assist
ant Secretary Adee is acting as Sec
retary of State. The absence of Mr..
Knox and his principal assistant has
been assumed by some to mean that
both of them are out of sympathy with
President Taft and the military and
naval authorities in the mobilization
scheme and wish to avoid all respon-
sibility for that policy
Ignored, Says Report.
According to the published report the
President has largely ignored the State
Department in that particular transac-
ton, and has been acting mainly upon in
formation and advice received from the
Departments of War Navy and Justice.
In the absence Of nearly all the officials
Immediately concerned, it is impossible
at this time to obtain here any specific
information as to the truth or falsity of
these rumors. Such of the subordnates
in the various departments affected a,s
would talk on the subject at all today
secuted the idea as unworthy Of consid-
Grafton or belief.
1t is not at all likely. said one official
that Secretary Knox would remain In the
cabinet at all if it were true that he had
been ignored, as reported, in matter in
which he naturally was SO vitally inter
ested in his official capacity as the Mexi-
can situation.

Over Grave of Famous Painter.

The prisoners cages stand directly over
the tomb of the famous painter Lorenzo
da Viterbo, whose celebrated picture
'"The Marriage of the Virgin" was one
fthose which made beautiful the edi-
flee.
The building is lofty one. and in order
that the voices may carry better a large
awning has been spread at the base of
the dome. II was noticed today that the
awning hid the inscription, which must be
seen in every judicial court in Italy, Law
equal for ALL" and the spectators were
quick to point out that this accidental
concealment was a bad omen for Justice
The crowd in the open square before the
court building was so great that a COM
pany of infantry was called out TO REIN

tanning order.

was absorbed by the appearance and be-

be i'll. and Maria Stendardo. who limped

No Outside Troops Coming.

1t was said at the War Department that
his is the only cancellation of orders af-
fectirg the transfer of troops which is
contemplated and that there is no inten-
ton of ordering back TO this country any
portion Of the army now in the Philip
pines or elsewhere outside the country.
Announcement is cade that all of the
soldiers in Texas and southwest California
who have not already been inoculated
with typhoid vaccine will be subjected
10 the treatment at the beginning of the
maneuvers. The typhoid vaccination Is
comparatively new in the army. although
many have already been inoculated.
The officers believe that the present
opportunity will afford a good chance
for the use of this preventive measure.
Mobilization About Complete.
At the rate the mobilization of the
troops in the Department of Texas Is
now proceeding, according to the est
mates of the general STAFF. all of the SOL
diers from the other departments which
were ordered to Texas and southern Cali
fornia should be at their destinations to-
morrow or by Monday morning at the
latest There have been some few DELAYS

ception were due to washouts on railways
and inability to secure cars for men and

plans laid long in advance have been car
ried out to perfection.
While the entire force under Maj. Gen.
Carter's direction, in his capacity as
major general, will number almost 90
900 men, ii is said that the full strength
OF his actual division at San Antonio

cludes the coast artillery troops and
many other detached commands whfctf
are still within the Department OF
Texas. but are not technically part OF
the division which was ordered to be
mobiliZed. That division at full
strength should consist of nine regi.
ments of infantry, composed of three
