WaShingto4-, march 2S.--Consterna-
ton reigns in Mexico City over the
federal defeats in chihuahua Oroz-
cos success there Is looked upon as
quite oninous and likely to be fol-
lowed by serious events throughout the
republic, according to state depart
ment reports from the Mexican capital
today.
The weakness of the federal forces
in the south is recognized, and Zaoata
seems to be taking advantage Of this
fact He is reported to be resuming
his lighting in that section.
The federals. following their recent
engag agon1ent in southern ChihuR.hua.
retreated to Torreon in denoralized
condition and, the state department
reports say, the rebels are following
them closely.
The rebel successes have shaken the
confidence of some of the Washington
officials in the easy triumph Of Ma
dero over his enemies. They are now
recognizing the possibility of an over
throw of the Madero government and
the grave question is beginning to as
sert Itself as to the correct attitude Of
the United States IN the turmoil and
chaos which probably would follow
the clashing Of presidential aspirations
of at least three or four ambitious
Mexican leaders.
NO ARMED INTERVENTION.
There is no thought of armed inter
vention- However attention is being
drawn to the fact that in Cuba, in
Panama. in Nicaragua and IN other
Central American and West Indian re-
puAtcs. the American government has
laid down tfs pr&Aclp1e tnat. hhvinE
regular constitutions. the various dis
turbing elements in those countries
must be obliged to live UP to them:
-
sentative of the will Of the majority Of
the people is freely expressed, and
that there should be no self created
despotism.
The problem may soon be presented
as to whether some such representa-
tions may not have TO be made to the
ambitious aspirants for executive
power in Mexico IN the event of Ma
dero's' overthrow. Even IN such case
however. it Is Confidently believed
here there will be no necessity for an
invasion of Mexico or for the exercise
of anything more than moral suasion
such as has been potent in the case of
other disturbed Latin-American re-
publics.
Laredo, Texas, March 2s.-Refugee
traffic from Mexico appeared on the

TOLD STORY TO
BRIGHTEN CHILD
Whole Neighborhood Areus-
ed by Tale of Kidnapping.

Residents of Washington street
were given quite a scare Monday
afternoon, when little Margaret
Scannell, of lat Washington street,
ran about the thoroughfare telling
everyone she met that her three
months old sister mad been kidnap-
ped by an Italian. The people see
ing the excited condition of the
child, started on a search. Marga-
ret was on her way to the police
station to report the matter and
while passing the Pennsylvania sta
ton thought she recognized her sis
ter in the CUSTODY OF an Italian.
Back home she went to tell her
friends and parents. By this time
the neighborhood was in an uproar
and no one went into the Scannell
fearing to meet the moth
er of the child. At last one of the
men In the neighborhood ventured
into the home and a~scertained that
the fright and uproar was entirely
uncalled for as the supposed lost
child was asleep on the third floor.
When Mrs. Scannell was seen by
a NEWS reporter this morning she
said that she told her daughter that
an Italian had kidnapped the child.
Mrs. Scanned said she did this so as
to brighten Margaret, who was re-
in minding the infant. The
child thought the story true and
the excitement. Numerous
inquiries have been made at the
home owe the safety of the
girl.

Petitions asking Congress to place
at the end and along the jet
ties near Morgan have been in cir
culation and will be sent to Con-
Thomas j.. Scully, who
represents this district, and who is
a member of the Rivers and Harbors
William Hartmann, of
Morgan, Is one Of the prime
in the enterprise and has secured the
names of the most prominent long
shoremen from this city, South Am
boy, Keyport and Morgan who favor
the idea and consider the present
condition a n to safety.
The agitation is started owing to
several accidents on the rocks during
the past week. One unacquainted
with the water at the high tide is
risking his life and placing his craft
II danger when trying {. follow the
creek near the bridge. Two motor
| boats belonging to Long Island men
struck the rocks and large holes
were stove in the bows. One of the
craft was so badly smashed that it
is beyond repair.
At night a navigator is at the
mercy of the waves as there is no
possible means to discover the end of
the rocks. Not a light marks the
~jetties and very often boats coming
from the bay hit the rocks. Mr..
Scully has been interviewed on the
proposition before and promised to
do all In his power to relieve the
situation. The petitions, according
to the signers, may hasten the work
along.
William Hartmann says that Con-
gress can remedy the trouble with
very little expense and difficulty. 1t
Is %petitioned to run a string of cleo
trio lights on both sides of the jet
ties. The cost would be very little
as the surrent could be taken from
the wires On the bridge.
Mr.. Hartmann who conducts the
cold Spy Inn Road House" claims
that sixteen boats of good size ire
quent the creek all the year around
and that on other occasions more
than 100 boats a day pass the
bridge. Several members Of the
Raritan Yacht Club together with
the yacht clubs of South Amboy and
