MEXICAN REBEL
GENERAL 8 CHARGE
Juan Pedro Didapp Says His
Country Had no Fair.
Deal.
EX-CONSUL'S PROTEST.
Vigorous Objection to lnvasion-Says
United States Heard Only One Side
of Controversy.

Washington, Sept 5.-That the State
Department has not given the Mexi-
can revolutioniStS q square deal and
that the landing of Marines in Mica
ragua is but a subterfuge of the De-
partment to back up Wall street in
terests that have gripped the unhap-
py country by the throat, was the sem
timent today of Senor Juan Pedro Di
dapp, representative in Washington
of the Mexican revolution" and form
er consul general in Spain.
"The Mexican revolution party"
said Didapp, "has had to protest Wig
orously against invasion OF Mexico by
Amc!.,an soldiers. The State Depart
ment has not even acted the part of
good Judge in the Nicaraguan inva-
sion because it has listened to only
one side Of the controversy. The side
it has listened to belongs to the crook
ed interests, under corrupt admins
tration that are devouring Nicaragua.
"In the Mexican revolution the State
Department has not given the revoiu-
tionists a square deal. Madero had the
decided help OF the State Department
in his revolt against DiGZ because
Standard Oil and the Pierce Oil Com
pany were backing him. For that rea-
son now we are denied all rights by
the State Department.
IF the Department is anxious for
peace in Mexico let it give the revoiu-
ticnists beiligcrent rights and M&-
dero will soon be thrown out"

Wilson in High Glee.

New York, Sept. 5.-Governor Will
son, as he started back to Sea Girt to-
day was in high good humor over what
he called the "Little D" Democracy of
last nights Dollar Dinner" on the
East Side.
He was still chuckling of his own
feat of doing justice to every course
of the perfectly good meal while with
his right ear he listened attentively
to the political talk of acting National
Chairman McAdoo, and with his left
ear he paid equal attention to John
N. Bogart, proof reader who quizzed
him about organized labor. Bogart
organized the Workingmen's Wilson
and Marshall Club who gave the din
ner.
The governor said it was just the
kind of elbow-rubbing crowd ne de-
lighted in. At one table were Mrs.
j. Borden Hartman and hre guests,
several of New York's wealthiest wo-
men, who had come up from Newport
especially for the dinner. At the next
table sat a banker in evening clothes,
on whose right was loborer in "store
clothes" who tucked his napkin into
his collar, and on whose left was a
negro workingman.
At the governors own table, gaz-
ing across at the evening gowns and
dress coats rubbing shoulders with
s'hand -me-downs," and muslin frocks,
sat William Slattery, journeyman
horseshoes; Harry Cole, a bricklayer;
big Bill" Edwards, street commits
sioner; priest and a laborer with
a. cotton bandage about his head

England Charged With Acting Undi-

Protest.
Protest.

Washington, Sept. 5.LThe sensi-
bilities of State Department officials
already irritated by blunt declarations
from the British government regard
ing the course of this nation in the
Panama Canal controversy, were fur
ther inflamed today by the letter of Sir
Edward Grey, foreign Secretary, to
the Gateshead Chamber Of Commerce,
in which Sir Edward declares the ex-
emption of American coaStwise vessels
from canal tolls is clearly violation
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. These
officials assert that the British gov
ernment has acted in very undiplo-
matte, discourteous manner from the
start and that Grey's statement at this
time is quite without diplomatic
grounds.
The British government, they claim,
has acted overhastily and precipitately
in the mater, making protests and con-
demning yankee perfidity' without
showing any eagerness for mutual dis
cussion of the questoins involved
In brief, it is their opinion that the
British foreign office has gone "com-
pletely off the handle"
The prediction is made that when the
time does arrive for sane consider
alton of the opposing views on these
questions the conferees will be much
hampercd by the feeling which the
Britishers have aroused by riding
over Americans rougnshod.
The suggestion that some admins
tration other than the present one Will
be more dispose dto settle the issue
fairly than the present one is also re-
sented. Further agitation, it is pointed
out. is certain to take the canal ques-
ton out of politics here--it is hardly
a party question now-and make it
an international issue with patriotic
sentiment all over the country firm

rights and resenting British interfer-

Washington, Sept. 5,-Carefully
nursing his "game" leg, President
Taft left here at 10 o'clock today, en-
route to New York and New London
Conn. His injured ankle, aggravated
by slight touch Of the gout, was
much improved today. Therefore, he
decided not to cancel his engagement
to attend the Deepwaterways Conven-

The President was able this morn
ing to walk from the White House to
his automobile upon going to the

the aid of a cane. He also hobbled
through the Union Station, irritably
declining the proffer of rolling chair
Because of disability, however, the
President decided today not to stop in
New York. Instead he will board his
private yacht, the Mayfower, at the
Brooklyn navy yard about 3 p. m. and
start at once for New London. Chair
man Hilles and Treasurer Sheldon are
expected to joins him for the trip to
hold their first political conference OF
the campaign.
Mr.. Rhoades, the Presidents physi-
cian-aide, said today that the Presi-
dent rested we'll last night, but that
his ankle gives him much pain. He be-
lieves week on the Mayflower will
result in the Presidents complete re-
covery.
The President does not plan to Te-
turn to Washington until after cleo

WANTS To GUST
YUAN SH| KAI
Bull Moose of China Organ
ICES Movement Against
Executive.
WILL FIGHT AT POLLS.
Alleges Yuan Heads Corrupt and
Backward Party Which is Domi-
mated by Capital.

Tien Tsin, Sept 5-Dr. Sun 1at Sen
the Bull Moose of China, is organiz-
ing big movement to oust Yuan Shl
Kai from the presidency, according
to today's report from Pekin.
Since Sun arrived in the capitol he
and Yuan have exchanged many
courtesies but it is said the doctor has
satisfied himself by many talks with
the president that the latter is a
hopeless reactionary. Sun does not
propose another revolution. He in
tends to beat Yuan at the polls. 1t
remains to be seen whether election
will be. Yuan has been promising
one for some time, but with each sue
ceeding promise he moves it another
month or two farther into the future.
This will have to stop, Sun says, or
there will be trouble.
Yuan is head Of the Tung VI kung
Ho Tang, which is the old line repuo-
lican party of China-as old line as
a party can be after only seven or
eight months existence. The insur-
gents say it is corrupt, backward ana
dominated by capital.
The Kung Ho Tang of which VICE
President Ii Yuan Hung is leader, Is
the Chinese old line democracy. Wee
President Ii has pointed out many mis-
takes President Yuan has made but
the insurgent view is that II ne were
president he would not do much diff
ferently.
DR.. Sun Yat Sens party is the Tung
Meng Hui, the successor to the secret
revolutionary group which overthrew
the Manchus. The Tung Meng Hui is
tremendously radical-almost social
istic. In America it would be known
as the National Progressive party.
Of course unforeseen circumstances
NAV necessitate changes OF leadership
before election. DR.. Sun persists IN
staying at Pekin, where Yuan is IN
control. Yuan does not stop at refer
ring to his political opponents as DEM
arogues and neurotics-he cuts on
their heads. The "dare to dies" who
belong to the Tung Meng HUI nave
frequently canvassed the advisablilty
of using bomb to hasten the election
Vice President Ii has also foiled sew
eraI attempts to assasslnate hlm'
DR.. WI Ting Fang, well known IN
America, belongs to the kung no
Tang. DR.. WI was Tung Meng
Hui supporter once but left the party
it is said, because Dr.. Sun persisted
in making twitting references to the
time WI tried to earn a big reward
at least such is the story-by turning
Sun owed to the Manchu to have his
head cut off. Later he joined the
Tunp vi Kung Ho Tang. President
Yuan neglected to appoint him to the
cabinet, so he changed a second time
