MEXICAN MATTER
WORRIES CABINET
PRESIDENT TAFT ASKED TO 49,
SUE A PROCLAMATION URG-
ING STRICT NEUTRALITY.

Washington, March AT O cabinet
conference today 1t was deemed ex-
pedient that President Taft should is
sue proclamation urging Americans
to comply strictly with the neutrality
laws of the United States In all mat
tiers affecting Mexico.
In effect the proclamation is a
warning to Americans to stay out OF
Mexico at this time The note will be
sent to American Ambassador Wilson
at the City Of Mexico directing him
to inform Americans to watch the sit
uation in Mexico closely.
The white house conference was at
tended by President Taft, Secretary
Of War Stimson, acting Secretary Of
State Wilson, Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel and Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock
Reports received at the state de-
partment today consisted only OF con-
firmatory adyices on press reports,
telling of the killing of forty revo-
lutionists near Torreon by the fede-
rails.
Quiet is said to continue at Ensen-
ada. The situation at Vera Cruz
seems unchanged.
The real significance is said to be
the official recognition Of the fact
that the insurrectionary movement in
Mexico has grown 80 as to cause it
to De regarded as fairly Dafancrng
power and influence with the Madero
government.
No such proclamation was Issued
during the Madero revolution, hut it
was regarded as necessary to promul-
gate it now, because there was no
one strong central figure as a deciding
head OF the revolution whom the Uni
ted states could hold for the treat
ment Of its citizens.
Instead there are number OF self
created reyolutlonists who appear to
have little regard for the amenities
of international law.

THIS MINISTER
HAVING TROUBLE
MA De WAR ON RACE TRACK AND
SALOONS AND is BEING
PROSECUTED.

TT. Worth, Tex, March 2.-The mys-
terry OF the alleged war against the
Rev. j. Frank Norris stirred the state
of Texas today when his home was
partly burned in an apparently incen-
diary fire, which imprisoned himself,
his wife and his two children on an
upper floor in the early morning hours.
They were rescued with difficulty.
Norris, pastor of the First Baptist
church, of FIT. Worth, has been in the
public eye in the Southwest for sew
eral years. beginning in an active
share in the crusade which drove race
track gambling out of Texas a few
years ago. Since then Sunday observ-
ance violations have been the partic-
ular targets. AT the beginning of
this year there started an amazing
series of apparently deliberate out
RACES against Norris and his church
Late yesterday Norris was indicted on
a charge of perjury for the alleged
sending to himself and the officials
of his church anonymous letters con-
corning the cutrages and testifying
regarding them.
The first suspicious outbreak was
the destruction of the home of Mrs.
Morgan Wells, wife of former pas
tor Of Rev. Norris church, on January
Z. On January 9, fire again broke
out N her residence. The next day,
the Fiis Baptist church was damaged
$4,000 by fire of mysterious origin.
On January il two shots were fired
from the outside into the Rev. Norris
study where he sat at his desk No
one was hurt. On January 16, 200
worth of silverware was stolen from
Mrs. Wells residence. On February
A the First Baptist church was tot
ally destroyed by fire and Rev. Nor
ris' residence was discovered ablaze.
On February q Rev. Norris and Geo.
e. White had an alarming but not Sc
rious encounter with man armed
with pistol
The newt step was yesterdays in
dictment. Today's fire is still under
investigation. Fire Chief Ferguson
said the blaze started in a small closet
under the only stairway in the house
The flooring of this closet vas not
burned, but the fire had apparently
eaten from its inside wall outward
in the rest of the house.

DEBS TO T.R.
This Assertion Causes Juror to Be
Challenged.

Los Angeles, May 1S.-District At
torney John d. Fredericks caused a
momentary sensation in the Darrow
trial today when he sought and OBJ
tanned permission to re-examine all
seven jurors already sworn to try the
former chief counsel of the McNamaras
for alleged jury bribery, and then chal-
lenged one of them for cause. The
court allowed the challenge, thus re-
ducing the number of jurors to six.
The man challenged, M. A. Cravath.
declared he would rather vote for
Debs, the Socialist, for president, than
for Roosevelt, and one of the two
greatest men in the country was Job
Hartman, Darrow's former assistant
in the defense of the McNamaras and
more than 10000 votes in the recent
mayoralty election here.
Senator La Toilette was Harriman's
only peer in greatness, Cravath de-
clared and the district attorney then
entered a challenge for cause.
Darrow and his cousnel, Earl Rogers,
vigorously resisted the challenge of
Cravath by the prosecution but Judge
Hutton after brief deliberation an
nounced he would allow the challenge
Rogers demanded that the right to
re-examine all the sworn jurors be ex-
tended to the defense, but after a brief
examination he again passed the six

amined Richeson that Richeson al

would be of short duration however.

Sea Captains Wish That His Sons

Valley Falls. Kan, May 18.-Fffty-
two years ago a sea captain who knew
the perils of his calling forsook it in
order that his boys might not share
the hardships of such a life. He NOV

edge of civilization, to get as far from
the smell of salt water as possible.
And as result none of his five sons
returned to the water, all growing into
prosperous Kansas farmers.
A. H. Griffen, whose death occurred
here Friday, was one of those boys.
He was born in Maine 76 years ago
and came to Kansas with his father
over half a century ago. He lived
here the remainder of his life. He

RICHESON COLLAPSES.
Condemned Man Is Attacked by 'cHys-
terical Insanity

Boston. May 18.-A deep sleep under
the influence Of opiates shut out a
world of agony from the troubled mind
of Clarence V. T. Richeson during the
earlier hours of today. The fortitude
of the former clergyman who awaits
death by electrocution next week for
the murder of Avis Linneu gave way
last night. The collapse came while
the condemned man was alternately be-
seeching his counsel to have his body
inferred beside that of his mother in
Virginia and Historically raving over
the fancied persecution of the two
guards forming his death watch.
Richeson learned definitely for the
first time yesterday that he must meet
death by electrocution. Through the
day he bore himself with outward
calmness. Little by little the import
of the decision he had heard began tc
impress itself upon him.
Some of those who entered the death
chamber impaired to the prisoner the
fact that his father did not care tc
have his body taken to Virginia for
burial Richeson at once gave way to
his emotions and implored of his coun-
sci, William A. Morse, that arrange
ments be made so that he might lie
beside his mother in the family lot
AS the day wore on other incidents
occurred to disturb the condemned
man. The discussion between Richeson,
his counsel and spiritual advisers turn
ed upon the execution and the prisoner
begged both Mr.. Stebbins, the prison
chaplain, and Rev. Herbert Johnson
his chosen adviser, to walk to the chair
with him. Richeson also expressed a
wish that Mr.. Morse should be present
during the last few minutes and fur
ther exacted a promise that either one
or the other of the ministers would
remain constantly with him until he
died.
Refuses to Eat.
In the meantime Richeson did not
