CAUSES NO SURPRISE.
MexicO's Reply Is About What Was
Expected. ..s.s

Washington, April 1S.-President
Maderos reply to Acting Secretary
Huntington wilson's admonition re-
garding treatment of Americans in
Mexico was received at the state de-
partment over night and probably
will be submitted to the cabinet by
Secretary Knox and considered before
any answer is returned. 1t cannot be
said Minister Calera's statement caused
surprise, nor has it modified the diplo-
matte situation. The note is regarded
rather as an attempt to relieve the
Mexican government from financial
liability for damages inflicted upon
foreigners by the rebels, than as an
evidence of resentment against the ac-
lions of the state department in re-
rninding the Mexican factions of their
obligations under international law to-
wards foreigners resident in Mexico or
even those serving as volunteers on
one side or the other.
In the opinion Of administration Of
ficials the Mexican note has not adj
vanced any fresh reasons for interven-
ton unless this disclaimer for respon-
sibility for the actions of the rebels
may be regarded as warranting for
eign governments considering whether
they might not be privileged to take
forcible measures t. protect their sub
jects and citizens where they may be
endangered in territory completely in
control of the rebel forces.
Reports of the interview between
American Consul Letcher and OroZcO
at Chihuahua, however, would seem to
relieve any apprehension of interven-

fractionally. Minor declines were made
by Southern Pacific, Great Northern,
Southern Railway, Lehfgh Valley, Atchi-
son preferred and American Can.
Dealings were nominal in the afternoon
with few chances of note, aside from in
creased activity in the minor steel shares.
Bethlehem Steel common and preferred
made further upward progress but else

CEDRIC WILL NOT WAIT.
Ismay Must Come ON in and Face the
Situation.

New York, April 1S.-The follow
ing statement regarding the rumor
that John B. Thayer, second vice pres
1dent of the Pennsylvania road is not
among the survivors of the Titanic on
board the Carpathia was given out to-
day by the Pennsylvania road.
The Pennsylvania railroad officials
most emphatically deny that a per-
sonal message of any kind has been
received from Mr.. J. B. Thayer, or any
Of his family who are on board the
Carpathia bound for New York. The
only Information regarding Mr.. Thay-
er and his family received by this
company has come from the officers
of the White Star line which is that
J. B. Thayer, Mrs. Thayer and J. B.
gers on board the Carpathia.''
Vice President Franklin of the
White Star line, authorized the fol-
lowing announcement:
The Cedric will sail as scheduled at
noon today" c. w. Thomas, assist
ant manager of the traffic department
of the White Star line said no ar
rangement had been made to transfer
J.Bruce Ismay, managing director of
the International Mercantile marine,
from the Carpathia, to the Cedric at
sea and that as far as he knew Mr..
Ismay would remain aboard the Car
pathia. A representative of r. H.
Macy & Co., said an official of tina
firm had received by wireless cQnfir-
nation that Isador Straus and his wife
were not among the survivors on the
Carpathia. The fog is setting in
thick down the bay and as far out as
Sandy Hook, and if it continues it
doubtless will delay the arrival of the

DO NOT KNOW
AWFUL TRUTH

Confined from Page onea
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-09

Jackson, Miss, February 8.-The county attorney bill is one that will not down in the Mississippi legislature. During the strenuous campaign last summer the ma jority of the people of the state got it into their head that the law came from Governor Noel, and the vardamanites de- manded the repeal of the law outright.
 Candidates for the legislature assured their constituents they would see to the repeal of the law just as soon as they warmed their seat in the new capitol down at Jackson, and several of them have tried their level best to make good their promises, but the few Noel men in both branches were joined by a sufficient num- Der of Vardamanites to hold down the ma jority, and so far the law has not been appealed, and will not be, both houses having adopted substitute bills prepared by the judiciary committee ana which leave the question of a county attorney to the counties. If they are determined to get rid of good and valuable official, one that is paying his way, as a general thing, all they have to do is to vote that way next November The house passed this substitute Tuesday and the senate followed its example Wednesday. Scores of county attorneys were here and did great deal toward stemmng the tide for the outright repeal of the law.
 Over in the house wing there was lively discussion of a resolution offered by Mir Majors, chairman of the penitentiary committee, calling for a subcommittee to investigate charges of crookedness in the sale of cotton produced on the con- vict farms. It had been reported to the committee that all bidders were not given

REPUBLICANS DIDN'T
 SPLIT STATES CHUbb

Jacksonville Fla, February S.-Hen- ry s. Chubb. chairman of the republican state central committee, has made a statement in regard to the reported split at the state convention in Palatka, which follows:
 'There were absolutely less than six delegates left in the hall out of the total number constituting the conven- ton quorum during the session. This was not caused by any apparent dissat- isfaction with the deliberations. The convention was practically unanimous on all questions. Leading citizens Of Palatka and visitors to the convention verify these facts. The contesting dele gates from Hillsboro and Escambia counties were not legally elected"
 He said these were not seated The delegates, he said, were the only dis gruntled ones.
 No split or bolt of any kind occurred. Mir Chubb's statement was corrob- orated. The reports of split arose, 1t is said, through confusion when some delegates left the hall.
