BARRETT SAYS
''NOINTERVENTION'
Points Out the Danger Of Hasty
Action on the Part of the
United States.

Mr.. John Barrett. director general Of
the Pan-American Union. last night de-
livered an emphatic protest against in
teryention OF the United States in Mex
leo. in an address before the Foreign
Service Club.
Mr.. Barrett said that the action OF the
United States IN the present crisis would
either make this country dominant or
damned in all Latin America. 'If the
United States" he said. should forci-
bly, Intervene in Mexico. or engage in an
armed invasion OF that country without
its permission and without Justification
by all international precedents to the sat
isfaction OF its sister American republics.
II would strike a self-infiicted and gratu-
itously staggering blow to its commerce
and prestige throughout all America, null
lify half the good OF the canal, and de-
light all its competitors for the favor and
trade OF the world.
THE temporary protection IL might give
to Americans and American investments
would sink into insignificance compared.
FIRST, to the possible loss OF llfo and
property and expenditure OF money which
might result from war; second. to the
restrictions upon United States trade and
capital which would undoubtedly result
In all Latin America; and. third, to the
loss OF confidence in the United States
government and people among the gov
ernments and peoples Of its sister re-
publics.
In this crisis, the President OF the
United States, the Secretary OF State,
and Congress can be relied upon to act
slowly and wisely. but the danger lies
in ill-considered jingoistic and loose talk
about Intervention. invasion, and cross
ing the border. with the reflection OF that
sentiment in Mexico and Latin America. -,

SUBMITS REPORT
ON STABLE FIRE
Twenty-seven Structures Destroyed
Here in Last Three Years, Ac-
cording to Chief Wagner.

Twenty-seven stables have been de-
stroyed by fire in the District during
the last three years. according to a re-
port which has just been compiled by
Frank j. Wagner. chief of the fire de-
partment, at the request of the Commits
sioners. The report was made public yes
terday afternoon.
The investigation and report was or
dered as the result Of request from
Representative johnson, OF Kentucky. for
information regarding stables in the Dis
trict Representative johnson recently
introduced in Congress a bill making It
an ofrense, punishable by fine, for any
burden on any but the ground floor OF
stables.
The report states that thirteen of the
twenty-seven stables were OF frame con-
struction. In all of them horses were
stabbed only on the ground floor. In the
thirteen frame stables sixty-hve horses
were burned to death. Fourteen of the
stables were OF brick construction. In
three OF them horses were stabbed above
the ground floor. Fifty horses were
burned to death In the fourteen stables
During the three years there were 2,9l3
fires in the District
The District engineer department was
also requested to investigate stable con-
ditions and formulate a report respecting
the information desired by the Repre-
sentative. The engineer department re-
ported that the records OF the building
department do not show the number OF
horses housed on the different floors of
stables. The report stated. however, that
the Washington Humane Society recently
made a general inspection Of seventy-six
stables. The inspection revealed the fact
that there were 3,5e2 horses stabbed, 64s
of which were kept on the second and
third floors. Twenty-Five horses were
found to be kept In Easements.
Section lS3 Of the building regulations
in a manner restricts the housing OF
horses on any but the first or ground
floor OF stables
The Commissioners recently submitted
to Congress an unfavorable report on the
I'LL introduced by Representative John
son. stating that in their opinion It was
and unjust to the owners OF
stables

CHANGE
In DISTRICT LAWS
Foreign Corporations to Be Re.
quired to Register and Have
Local Agents.

Bills revising the code of law OF the
District so as TO make possible the death
penalty in cases of rape and to require
outside corporations to register and have
recognized agents who are residents OF
House yesterday by Representative John
son, of Kentucky, at the instance Of Dis
trict Attorney Clarence Wilson.
The measure providing that foreign cor
porations register and have agents liv-
ing in Washington has been strongly
urged for months by the domestic COM
panies OF this city. 1t is new and tends
to put outside firms on an equal footing
with local concerns instead of giving them
what some claimed was an unfair advan-
taEe-F Failure to comply with the law
IS to be punished by a fine ranging from
$40 10 500 for each offense-
The section amending the punishment
for rape frst specifies the crime, makes
the penalty by imprisonment from five
to thirty years, and then gives to the
jury the right OF determining whether
the death penalty shall be inflicted.
The section relating to false pretences
is amended to provide a punishment in
cases of false pretences where more than
So is involved OF not less than one or
more than ten years with a fine of not
more than S2OO.
In cases where persons swindIe board
Ing-housekeepers or lodging-house pro-
prietors the proposed law imposes a pun
ishment OF 800 or Imprisonment for six
months or both. Where the tenant at
tempts to take his clothes from the place
where ne has been stopping and leaves
the city without paying his bill an in
fringement OF the law lin the absence of
ether circumstances) may be presumed
to exist
The final amendment 70 the statutes
provides taht any person who fraudu-
lently converts TO his own use property
intrusted TO him by another shall be
fined not more than 500 or imprisoned
for not more than one year.

WILL NOT PRESS WHEEL TAX.

I'm Steady Stream.
Because of the prompt payment Of an
astonishingly large number Of bills, no
further prosecutions of automobilists who
have failed to pay their wheel takes
have been pressed. Several days ago,
w. P. Richards, District assessor, certi-
fed to the District attorney for prose-
cution the names of twelve delinoueats.
but before informations could be filed IN
the Police Court against ne offenders
the twelve automobilists slipped down to
the District Building and paid their plIIs.
Mr.. Richards said 100 bills have been
paid up to the present date. Only loo
bills have been issued so far, although
there are approximately 400 persons
who are affected by the wheel tax law.
The assessor has decided to send out the
bills in deliveries of Loo SO as to facili-
tate the work. Employees In the office
find II almost impossible at the present
time TO keep abreast of the work, the
number Of payments has been so large.
Mr.. Richards is extremely well satisfied
with the manner in which automobilIsts
have responded TO the warning. He said
that he will not press prosecutions as
long as the delinquents continue to send
In their payments In a steady stream.
1t is likely that another group of 1000
bills will be sent out In about a week or
two.
