CANNON'S WHITE HAT
MAY START FASHION
Speaker Appears At White
House With Jaunty
Headpiece.

Speaker Cannon today introduced a
new fashion among statesmen. He
appeared at the White House in a
white hat.
Perhaps the whiteness of the hat
was modified a bit by time and use,
but there yet remained the sem mblance
of the erstwhile snowiness of the
hereinb before mentioned head piece.
This hat was of the''crush" vari-
ETY.. 1t was very much crushed. 1t
was so crushed that it just lay upon
the crown of the Speakers head in
stead of fitting down snugly about
the Speakers ears. 1t was jauntily
tipped to the side of the crown of the
head.
The distinguished Illinois states
man seemed unconscious of the fine
figure he cut around the White House
today.
The visitor talked with the Presi-
dent for an hour He said afterward
that it was a matter of personal bust
ness that brought him to see the
President. There was a suspicion
about, however, that he was interest
ed in the Lorimer case.

POLITICAL REFUGEE
ONLY" SAYS AZCONA
Mexican Under Arrest Re-
iterateS Denial of False
PretenSes Charge.
TAKES ISSUE WITH
DIAZ'S AMBASSADOR
Attorneys for Man Who Says He Is
Being Prosecuted to Examine
Formal Complaint.

Taking direct issue with the Mexican
ambassador. who denies that the pris-
oner is being prosecuted, Juan Sanchez
Azcona, began the forty-second day Of
his Imprisonment in the District jail to-
day, while his attorneys considered the
advisability of applying for habeas
corpus.
To Examine Record.
The attorneys for the Mexican polit-
ical refugee, who stands charged ac-
cording to papers received at the State
Department. with false pretenses," 4"
will examine the complaint of the Diaz
government this afternoon, and, If II
is apparent to the attorneys that the
charges are unsustained, they probably
will make an effort to release Azcona
before the end of the additional twenty
days allowed the Mexican government.
"Azcona takes issue with the Mex
lean ambassador who claims that
there has been no persecution on the
part of his government" said Attor-
neys Hopkins & Hopkins today.
we expect to be able to show the
State Department, the Mexican ambas-
sador, and the public, when the time ar
rives, that Azcona is not wanted for,
nor is he guilty of, false pretenses, but
that in reality his eXtradition is desired
because Diaz regards him as revolu-
tionary.
This afternoon, we shall examine the
papers which have reached the State
Department, but which came at the
eleventh hour and just as Azcona's re-
lease, under the forty days detention
agreement, was impending. We shall
determine upon a course of action after
seeing these papers"
Formal Complaint Here.
A few hours before he was to have
been released the formal complaint
against Azcona was received from the
Mexican government, and it was de-
creed that the prisoner should remain
in the District Jail an additional twenty
days while the Mexican government is
preparing its case.
AS published in The Times yesterday,
the case of Azcona probably will result
in an investigation of the entire Mexi-
can political refugee situation by Con-
Eress. Representative Wilson of Illinois
is convinced that the State Department
is being used by President DiaI as a
means for OBTAINING and harasslng
refugees from Mexico, and his resoIu-
tion will demand to know how many
MeXicans have been held in American
prisons upon request of the Diaz gov
ernment, and what were the nature of
the charges against them.
Ambassador F. L. de la Barra issued
2 statement last night in which he de-
MED that there had been any perseCu-
tion Of Azcona or that his return to
Mexico was desired because of his anti
DiaZ activities.
The ambassador says that the Mexi-
can government does not pursue tao
tics of this kind and that Azcona is
really desired on a charge of false pre-
lenses.

came national institution of which
every Briton was proud, and the story
