Washington, April 19.-President
Taft feels that he personally has done
all that can be done by a chief execu-
tive to control the situation along the
Mexican border. He and his advisers
believe that now congress must say
whether the situation is grave enough
TO warrant Intervention and its conse-
quences.
Through the state department the
administration played what may be re-
garded as it's last card. 1t reiterated
in no uncertain fashion the represen-
tations made to Mexico a few days
back, that affairs like that at Douglas
and Aqua Prieta last week must not
be repeated. Instead of awaiting the
customary period for a formal reply
from Mexico, the department asked
for immediate assurance that there
be no more fighting that endangered
Americans in the border towns. In
formation was requested also as to
what measures the authorities had
taken to prevent future combats of
this kind.
President Taft replied to a message
from Governor Richard e. Sloan of
Arkansas, asking protection for citi-
zens of Douglas from the fire of fed
erals and insurrectos, that he was
loath to endanger Americans in Next
co by taking so radical a step Is
sending American troops across the
border to prevent further fighting.
confers With Bryce.
The president had two important
conferences. He talked with Secre-
tary Knox and he had a conference
with Ambassador Bryce Of Great Bril-
tain. The official explanation of Mr..
Bryce's visit was that he came to talk
about the proposed arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain.
1t is practically certain, however,
that Mexico figured in the
tion..
1t is believed that the ambassador
explained to Mr.. Taft the landing of
the British marines at San Quintin,
Mexico. last week. He was able TO
tell the president that the landing
was only after Americans and British
subjects asked for protection that the
British vessel of war put the marines
ashore.
In connection with Mr.. Bryce's visit
Q suggestion that there might be joint
intervention in Mexico by the United
States and England was discredited.
1t was pointed opt that any such joint
intervention would be construed as an
acknowledgment by the Omitted States
that this nation Is unable to handle
the situation and that it would be al
most an abandonment Of the Monroe

JEALOUS LOVER SHOOTS GIRL.
Father Searching With Lantern Finds
Body of Daughter.

Brainerd, April 19.-On the way to a
dance at st. Matthias, Bertha Jordan,
IA, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Jor-
dan, was shot and killed by her jealous
lover, Charles Kunde, 81. In the
buggy were seated Bertha Jordan, her
brother, Otto Jordan, Is, and the
Kunde boy. Near the farm of David
Wickham they quarreled with her and
Kunde threatened to shoot. The
brother attempted to wrest away the
revolver and vas thrown out Of the
buggy by the Infatuated man. The
horse ran away.
The first shot at the girl missed her.
He fired two more and struck her in
the temple. The murderer then ,leaped
and a few minutes later the brother
Otto, who had been injured in the en-
counter, heard a shot in the bushes
Kunde had killed himself. The bodies
of the girl and her lover lay 80 feet
apart.
The mother of the girl was in Brain
erd, and the old father took a lantern
and near midnight found his girl in
death, her little Easter cloak smeared
with her blood.
Bertha and Kunde had been keeping
company for two years, and it is said
she did not care to receive his atten-
tons any more, as Knude appeared to
be very jealous. The parents of both
are well known farmers.
