Mexico Will Create Neutral

CONFERENCE ON SUBJECT

President Discusses Situation With
chairmen Of Foreign Affairs Com
mittees of the Senate and House.
Representative suIzer, House Chair.
man, Declares There Is No Cause
for Intervention as Yet.
Washington, April 19.-President
Taft not only has no present intention
of asking congress to send American
troops into Mexico, but has high hopes
that such action will not be necessary.
This was the gist of the presidents
conversation with several members OF
congress who called to ask about the
Mexican situation. ," .
1t was stated at the White House
that the government of Mexico is al
ready taking steps to define a restric-
tive policy On the border with respect
to just such a situation as developed
at Aqua Prieta.
This policy has already been re-
duced to writing, according to private
information at the White House, and
is momentarily expected to be trans
mitted officially to the president. The
federal government of Mexico, it is
understood, is extremely anxious to
formulate a satisfactory policy govern
ing border warfare in order that, so
far as it is concerned, all possible Q X
use for Intervention by the army of
the United States will be removed.
The officials here believe that even
tually the insurrectcs can be brought
to a similar understanding which will
remove the constant jeopardy in
which Americans are placed in such
engagements as those neal Douglas,
AriZ. +
Rebels Desire Intervention.
1t is the general belief among men,
bers of congress that the insurrectos
deliberately planned the engagement
of Aqua Prieta for no other reason
than to embroil the United States and
bring about Intervention at an early
date.
That the situation is not now re-
garded as acute is evidenced by the
fact that leaders of both the senate
and the house, with whom the presi-
dent conferred prior to the assem-
bling of the cabinet, declared that NO
action is contemplated by congress at
this time. The president had extend
ed conferences with Senator Cullom Of
Illinois and Representative Sulzer of
New York, chairmen respectively Of
the foreign affairs committees of the
senate and house.
Senator Cullom insisted that he
could e no eason for Intervention.
while Mr.. Sulzer announced that con-
gress would not act hastily. Mr.. Sui
ger is of the opinion that thus far
there has been no overt act in Mexico
sufficient to warrant Intervention.
He intimated, however, that a plan
is being considered to relieve the DAN
ger to Americans near the border.
This contemplates an agreement for
a neutral zone from five to ten miles
wide along the boundary line.

vote of 296 to 16, passed the Rucker
resolution providing a constitutional
amendment for the direct election of
United States senators. This is the
first of the Democratic program meas

a speed that brought protests from the
Republicans.
A bill was introduced. in the lower
house of congress by Represen-

He gave US medicine, but il did no
good. In few days the head was a
solid mass, a running sore. It was
awful, the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep himl from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last we
remembered Cuticura Remedies. We
got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Resell
vent, a box of Cuticura Ointment and
a bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave the
Resolvent as directed, washed the head
with the Cuticura Soap, and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. We had not
used half before the child's head was
clear and free from eczema. and il has
never come back again. His head was

the floor Of the smoke room.
A large number of hams may be
placed in this room by the follow
ing arrangement: Pieces Of hardwood
plank eight inches wide and long
enough TO reach across the room rest
on a ledge or projection from the walls
on each side. These pieces of plank
have hooks driven in on both edges
far enough apart to receive the hams,
so that a row may be hung on each
side. When full each is pushed along
to one side and another filed, and so
on till all are in their places. The ven
tilators above are then opened, and
smoke is started on the heap of ashes
below. For this purpose cobs are used
or unseesoned maple or body hickory.
The smoking should be slow. By the
time the smoke has passed up through
the openings in the arch It has become
cold and cannot heat the hams. Ten
or twelve days will usually be enough
for the completion Of the operation.

the chimney above are closely shut.

dark and thoroughly excluded from
the air outside, will keep in good con-
dition. Flies Will do no injury
through the summer with a small fire
started once a month and with the
upper ventilator partly open at the
time. This obviates the common and
troublesome task of incasing the hams
in muslin, whitewashing them or
packing them in oats or ashes.
