DICKSON
IN ACCORD
WITH TAFT
SAYS TAFT is LEVEL.HEADED
AND WILL LOOK AFTER THE
COUNTRY - WANTS AMERICA
TO HAVE LARGE WELL
TRAINED ARMY.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrnB.l

New York, April 2O.-Whatever
others may think, there is today no
doubt that Secretary of War Dickin-
son Is in full accord with President
Taft's handling of the Mexican situa-
tion. Speaking before the Seventh
regiment of the New York National
Guard Dickinson said:
1--WE have heard all sorts Of rumors
that the United States will intervene
in Mexico, but fortunately we have a
president who Is untouched by popu-
lar hysteria. He will steadfastly
maintain the dignity of the country
and at the same time the American
people can count upon his good sense
and sound judgment
If crisis should ever arise be-
tween this country and any first class
power they would not fight us with
unframed troops Our nation has
taken on the responsibilities of a
first class world power and It must
be prepared to discharge them. This
can best be done with small, we'll
trained army, as we have recently
demonstrated in Texas

Because the demancs of the pub
Lie upon his time are so great that
he is unable to pnoperly attend to
his private correspondence Governor
West has inaugurated a rule exclud-
ing every one from entrance to his
office during the forenoon until If
O'Clock, but after that hour any one
desiring to confer with him will be
admitted.
Since assuming Office the governor
has followed the policy of admitting
people who desire TO a)nfer with
him at any and all times during the
day. No matter who it was or what
the business, he has laid aside his
work and gave them an audience, and
then, when at leisure again, resumed
his work. This has not only proved
unsatisfactory, but 1t has thrown him
far behind in his work, and he has
been compelled to inaugurate the
above rule, and from the time he
comes to the office at o'clock in the
morning until ] o'clock no one will
be admitted, unless, Of course, their
business be Of extreme urgency.

Hopkins further testified that his
secretary, John Pfeifer. during the
balloting for senator, declared that
George Mccormick, then represen-
tative, asserted that he had been Of
fered $4,000 to vote for Lorlmer.
When LOrlmer was elected McCor-
mick voted for him, though he had
previously voted for Hopkins.
Edward Tilden, who is accused Of
having collected the 100000 Lori
mer slush fund, sent a letter to the
committee, In which he refused to
testify. The letter was accompanied
by an affidavit in which he made oath
that he was in no way connected
with the scandal. Tilden promised
to permit one m.mber of the COM
mittee to investigate his books.
The committee will hold an execu-
tive session tonight to consider
whether they will compel Tilden to
come before them personally.

RAN OVER BY AUTO
BUT NOT BADLY HURT

While returningi'to her home with
a companion, Mary Doherty, Anna
May Amick, eight years of age, was
run over by an automobile driven by
Scott A. Riggs yesterday afternoon at
Center street and while the wheels
Of the machine passed over her limbs
she was not in the opinion of the at
tending physicians seriously injured.
Riggs, together with his wife, was
taking friend to the station of the
Salem, Falls City & Western Railroad
company. The machine was going at
a good speed and according to It's
occupants, the girl evidently not see
ing 1t, stepped in front of 1t and the
accident was unavoidable AS soon
as possible after the accident Riggs

DR.. Morse. The parents of the girl
summoned their physician, DR.. Miles,
and according to both, though the
girl was badly frightened and some-
what injured, she is not seriously

the Douglas incident. Neither the
text Of the embassy's note nor the
Mexican reply is yet before the state
department.
From the brief telegram received
from the embassy at Mexico City on
the subject 1t appears that orders
have been given by the Mexican war
department designed to prevent fir
ing which would endanger American
life or property as at Douglas, and
that the Mexican government ex-
pressed itself as deploring the Incl
dent In qeustion. It Is inferred from
the embassy's telegram that there is
some discrepancy in news reaching
the two capitals regarding various
particulars Of the Douglas incident"
Mexican ambassador Zamacona
said this afternoon:
"The note addressed by the Mexi-
cam department of foreign affairs to
Ambassador Wilson referring to GER
tain lamentable events on the border
certainly must be friendly in form
and essence, for it is impossible to
suppose that 1t might be in the least
unfrlendly or discourteous.
"The relations of the two govern
ments are the most cordial. 1t would
be better to wait until the contents
of the note are made known in full
before venturing to comment on
and unauthenticated
Quotations, The press at present,
more than ever, may do great good
If 1t directs its efforts to prevent
public opinion being unduly excited
or misled. This would be a great
help toward accomplishing the ear
nest wishes of the Mexican people
and their government.
senor Zamacona said he would not
be surprised If Diaz' reply contained
statements that Americans had par
ticipated in the Aqua Prieta fight.

have collected the Lorimer "slush

$4,000 to the fund to elect William

-N-@D
Washington, April 2O.-Members of
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs are unanimously against inter-
ventiOn in Mexico.
This statement was made here to-
day by Congressman William Sulzer,
chairman Of the committee, after its
members-Gardner, Sharp and Fos-
ter-had conferred with President
Taft on the matter at the White
House.
After declaring that Intervention,
for at present, at least, was out of
the question, Sulzer said no often
sive move would be made without the
most serious dellberation. He as
serted that any effort to invade Mex
leo would mean immediate organiza-
tion of the United States army to
double or triple its present strength.
A quarter of a million men, Sulzer
said, would be necessary to success
IN such a project, and to gather that
number, according to military ex-
Derts would require a year.
Referring to press reports of
President Diaz' alleged answer to
President Taft's demand for assur-
ances of protection for American cit
liens along the border, Secretary of
State Knox issued statement today.
He said:
THE state department declines to
comment on press dispatches from
Mexico regarding the reply to repre-
sentations made by the American en-
bassy under instructions sent April
IA to call attention to the need of in
struction to prevent further danger

though this should lead to instrusion

should cause hostile demonstration
against American residents of the in
terror of Mexico, the president should
be authorized to use the military

that no government can owe a more

source whatever"
