Mexican CRISIS
UP To CONGRESS-
Taft Feels He Has Done All
in His Power.
He IS PLAINLY WORRIED
The President Believes Congress Must
Now Say Whether the Situation 10
Grave Enopgh to Warrant interven-
ton.

Washington, April IS. - President
Taft feels that he has done personally
all that can be done by 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 it's conse-
QuenceS.
Through the state department the
administration played what may be
regarded as its last card. 1t reiterated
In no uncertain fashion the represen-
tations made to Mexico few days
back that affairs like that at Douglas
and Aqua Prieta must not be re-
peated.
Instead of awaiting the customary
period for a formal reply from Mexico
the department asked for immediate
assurances that there would be no
more fighting that endangered Ameri-
cans IN the border towns. Information
was requested also as to what meas
ures the authorities had tskeR TO pre-
vent future combats of this kind.
A few hours after the department
announced that it had issued this sec
and demand the dispatches from Doug
las began to come into the war de-
partment showing that the second bat
tie of Aqua Prieta had begun. No
reply has yet been received from the
Mexican authorities.
The president is plainly worried.
He talked but little, the White House
folks said, about Mexico, but the bull
letins that came through the war de-
partment and through the press were
taken to him wherever he happened
to be and read with interest. He did
not conceal the fact that he1was in
tensely interested in the news from
Aqua Prieta.
The president had two important
conferences. He talked with Secretary
Knox and had conference with AM
bassador Bryce, OF Great Britain. The
official explanations of Mr.. Bryce's
visit was that he came to talk about
the proposed arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
1t is practically certain, however.
that Mexico figured in the converse
ton. 1t is believed that the ambassa-
dor explained to Mr.. Taft the landing
of the British marines at San Quen-
tin, Mex, last week. He was able to
tell the president the landing was only
after Americans-and it was explained
that Americans came first-and Brit
ish subjects asked for protection that
the British vessel OF war put the ma
rines ashore.
President Taft has told callers that
he does not contemplate sending a
special message to congress relating
to the condition of affairs in Mexico.
He has shown to leaders of both the
senate and house the confidential cor
respondence dealing with Mexico. He
feels that few, if any, of those who
have been taken into his confidence
have failed to agree with him that the
movement of troops to Texas was JUS
tilted. He thinks that since the lead
ers in congress have practically all
the information he has it is their duty
to take any further action.
The president himself has let 1t be

Clark Forbids Smoking In the House

Clark Forbids Smoking In the House.
Washington, April 1S.-At the re-
quest of several of the older members
of the house, Speaker Clark had read
from the clerks desk the rule prohib-
iting smoking in the chamber at all
times. Since the present congress met
several of the new members have lit
their perfectos in the course of the
proceedings and have been suppressed
only by a dispatch of the sergeant-at
arms from the speakers desk asking
them to desist of retire. Speaker Clark
said that he hoped the announcement
would put an end to it.

is MANIFESTED
Red Bank and High School
to Clash Tomorrow.

With one victory and a defeat
between them last season, both Red
Bank high school and the locals
seem very anxious to annex the
next game. which will be played be-
tween them tomorrow afternoon on
the Auditorium court.
Red Bank high school will not
have Quinn, their former center.
who proved such a star last sea-
son. But the locals also have a
weaker team than last season and
this makes both squads confident.
The boys from down the line were
defeated last Saturday night by the
Melrose A. G. of the Highlan Is,
S-9, but the game was not played
on the losing teams court, which
makes the defeat of Red Bank high
school not inglorious.
All the local rooters will be on
hand tomorrow afternoon to do
their share In helping the crimson
and white team annex another vic
tory.

NOW CAPTAIN
Elected by High School Bas-
ketball Team Yesterday.

Barney Browning, who did most
to bring victory to the local high
school basketball team last Friday.
was elected Captain of the squad
for this season. The election was
held yesterday afternoon In one Of
the class rooms of the school build
ing. The varsity squads vote was
unanimous.
For the last few weeks, different
captains were In charge of the prac-
tees and games and this accounts
for the little progress made by the
team. But Captain Browning be-
lieves the team will soon get
working well and some good games
can be looked for. Bones ii az
present the best eligible player IN
the high school, being q very good
shot and also being very speedy.
At the two practices which have
been held at the Auditorium yes
terday and Tuesday, Browning haa
proven the best man Of the whole
squad.
Mr.. Williamson OF the faculty
will most likely, as In season before,
coach the boys and this will also
help the teams progress greatly.
In fact. the most needed thing Is
coaching; the boys. who are cam
didates for the varsity five are in-
experienced and while several can
shoot well and others can pass well,
they do not work together. Coach
ms and practice will soon bring tbs
locals into O good stride and the
team is expected to make a con-
siderably good showing

nally, it is likely that North Plain
field high school. which boasts of
having the best girls squad in the
state, will be the first opponents
of the girls, who sport the crimson
and white colors.
1t is not the intention of the
coaches to book many varsity
games with other high schools.
Only two OF three games may be
played. But as the varsity will
play the faculty and the Delta
Cappa team from the southern sec
ton Of the city, besides the games
