criminal violation of the Sherman

trict Judge Carpenter denied mo-
tion for the discharge of Edward Nor

Washington, March 13.-President
Taft pointed out to members Of the
foreign relations committee and the
Texas congressional delegation at a
conference today that the neutrality
laws of the United States were not
specific enough and is reported to
have said that unless congress enact
ed new measures it would be difficult
to preserve peace with Mexico.
The president appealed to his callers
to help him preserve peace by pre-
venting neutrality law violations and
suggested that some steps be taken at
once for he enactment of more ade-
quate measures. The conference was
a result of the appeal of President
Madero that the United States put
into effect stricter neutrality in
Texas.
After the conference. the senate
committee on foreign relations held
meeting and framed a joint raSolu
tion which would prohibit the ship
ment of arms from the United
States into any state on the Ameri- !
can continent which IS IN condition
OF disorder.
The resolution would impose heavy
penalties, the intention being to make
it Immediately applicable to the Mexi
can situation. The resolution, adopted
in committee, was report
ed to the senate Immediately.
