TWO YOUTHS MAY
CAUSE INTERVENTION
MEXICO SAYS THEY WERE
CAUGHT ACROSS THE BORDER
Secretary Knox Declares They Were
Arrested on American Soil and In
sists They Must be Freed.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 15.-Ameri-
rebels capture chihuahua is predict
ed by United States Senator Burton
today. The Americans will invade Mex
leo, place the government on firm
footing and then withdraw. he said.
Washington, d. c., March 15-Some
persons profess to believe that the
positive statement made by Knox that
the American youths Blatt and Con-
verse, now imprisoned at Juarez as
spies were captured on American soil
and the equally positive statement of
the Mexican officials that they were
captured in Mexico may offer the
United States cause for intervention.
According to international procedure
MeXico's stand would justify pushing
the troops over the frontier. 1t is
pointed out that this would enable the
United States to force the Japanese
question to an issue and prevent Mex
leans favoring Japan to secure a foot
hold on the coast.
Mexican Officials Not Notified.
Ell Paso. Tex, March 15.-Mexican
officials have not received any infor-
nation concerning the release OF
Converse and Blatt, imprisoned in Ju-

Most important Address De-
livered in Parliament in
Years Praised By Liberals
FAVORS ARBITRATION TREATY
WITH THE UNITED STATES
Conservatives Scoff and Ask "HOw
About exico?"-Enormous Inter-
est Aroused Throughout Europe
Appearances Indicate Grey Was
Sure of Ground With America Be
fore Speaking.

London, March 15.-Sir Edward
Grey's epoch making speech as ev-
cry liberal calls it, has aroused enor-
nous interest throughout Europe and
was again the absorbing topic in the
parliamentary lobbies yesterday.
BY universay consent it is the most
important speech made in parliament
in years. Some conservative morning
papers, taking the ground that the
foreign secretary's ideal is almost i'm
possible of attainment comment
somewhat coldly and point to the diff
ficulty of the path.
The liberal organs, on the other
hand, hail it with unbounded enthus-
iasm, and express strong resentment
at the scoffing remarks heard from
the conservative benches, while Sir
Edward was speaking, such as How
About Mexico?" and similar interjec
tions offensive to the United States.
"The wagon of the English-speak-
ing people is now hitched to a star, -
said Sir Henry Norman. The rest
may come slowly, but it will come
and it will date from 1911"
Similar expressions were expressed
/ by the most progressive members OF
the collmons. Indeed, many members
connected with the arbitration move
ment found it difficult tc believe that
Sir EDWARD Grey had not made sure
Of his ground with regard to nego-
tiations with the United States be-
| fore going so far in public utterances.
Lord Reay, the British delegate to
The Hague conference in 1907, in an
/ interview, thinks that a general arbf-
, tration treaty between the United
/ States and Great Britain might be
the occasion for the establishment OF
a permanent arbitration tribunal and
that the Sly possible opposition in
America would come from the Irish
sections.
. The nationalist members in the
house, discussing the matter, are
frank in declaring that it would be
of the treaty until home rule has been
granted Ireland.
The morning Post, in an editorial.
says, that such a treaty would in
volve on the part of both nations the
sacrifice of what is called sovereignty
At that sacrifice, the agreement is
possible.
The Morning Leader says that AM
erican diplomacy has often shown to
advantage by the side of the elaborate
! European methods but such a treaty
would make all former triumphs pail
Some of the morning papers point
out some of the difficulties in the
way to Great Britain's foreign alli-
I ance.
The Daily News remarks that Incl
dentally this is the first time a Brit
ish foreign secretary has recognized
the right of parliament to share in
the treaty-making power.
The Times says editorially Great
Britain is equally ready as at the
time of the Pauncefote- Olney nego.
tiations, to accept the arbitration
treaty; provided it can be shown thai
the American people desire it and thai
the negotiations will not prove abor.
tive.

WOULD ACCOMMODATE RAILROAD

Advocating the closing and vacat-

intersection with the railroad prop
erty as a first step toward the selec-

and number of prominent members
OF the Commercial association ad-
dressed the meeting of citizens nst
night in the club rooms at the con-
clusion of the discussion of the pro-

pressed in favor of this action that
Mayor Murphy announced an orGi-
nance to that effect would be taken
up by the council a week from to-
night.
1t was pointed out last night that
the railroad company is hampered at
the present time for lack of room
in their yards and that Pendleton

Washington, March 15.-That one
of the first measures to be pushed

next session of congress will be the
resolution for the investigation of the
United States steel corporation, to
determine wether it is a cOmbina-
ton in violation of the antitrust law,
was the statement made today by
Representative Stanley of Kentucky,
author of the resolution, who has been
canvassing sentiment among the
members elect on this subject. The
proposed investigation was strongly
urged at the session just closed but

minority members of the committee,
including Speaker-elect Champ Clark,

fafor of pushing the resolution
for of pushing the resolution
through as early as possible. Not
only is the resolution favored on IT'S
merits. but it is believed that it will
provide valuable material for use IN
the next presidential campaign.
"The attitude of the members of
the democratic majority, and also
OF many so-called insurgents who IA

tive Stanley today, 'is that the steel

those who did not like it at first,
but heard in the light of some e1-

pleasure will be doubled. This, too,
is much the same with pictures. If
we study carefully even such repro

learn something about what they
mean and how they were produced

shall be well started toward some
