Miss MOisant Talks

New Orleans, March 4.-Whether the United States government finally deter mines to intervene in the present alarm ing situation in Mexico, Miss Matilda Moisant, chief of the Molsant corps of aviators. who arrived in New Orleans yes terday from Mexico, thinks President Taft acted wisely in advising Americans to leave Mexico before their lives are fur ther jeopardized.
 'The anti-American sentiment in Mex leo Is growing, said Miss Moisant to- day, "and 1t is particularly accentuated by reports that the United States gov ernment is planning to invade the coun- try. It would almost be criminal for the Washington government to order troops into Mexico without giving American cit izens residing there at least 90 days mo- tice Serious anti-American outbreaks might be expected in various parts of the Mexican republic at any time.'

 Protocol Not Violated
 Considerable excitement was caused this afternoon by telegrarhic reports from the Russian consul anonuncing that 500 Chinese soldiers had entered the village of Tachi only mile from the foreign concessions, in violation of the protocol conditions forbididng Chi nese troops to approach within a ra- dius of seven miles. Consequently the foreign military commanders decided upon joint action to turn out the Chi nese soldiers. Detachments of British. French, German, Russian and Japanese troops were mustered and carried out a reconnaissance but found that no Chinese troops had arrived at Tachi.

Gomez IncredulOus

San Antonio, March 4.--"It Is not true. I don't believe it," said Emilio Vasquez Gomez when informed that a dispatch from Washington stated that the revolutionists at Chihuahua meant to proclaim Pascual OroZco President of the republic of Mexico. Heretofore the revolutionists of northern Mexico were understood to favor Gomez for the presidency.
 "Orozco Is not seeking office for him self,' continued Gomez. "He Is a pa triot in the true sense of the word, and is working for what he considers the best interests of the country. don't believe there is any intention on the part of the revolutionists to pro- claim him President. but of course have no authentic information of what is being done. My sole source is news paper dispatches"
 The announcement that the United States department of state had been in- formed that Orozco had renounced the Madero government, said Gomez, was not entirely a surprise to him, as he had read in Mexican papers frequent ly that Orozco had resigned from the army in order to enlist against Ma derO

 Senator Clapp said:
 When the thousands of active repub- lican workers in this country awake to the fact that Taft cannot possibly be elected in November and that if he is the nom inee at Chicago the republican party ean- didates must go down to ignominious de- feat with him, there will be a decided change in the views of some who now support Taft.
 Expect No Mistakes
 "It is all folly to presume that the dem ocrats will. as usual, make some terrible mistake or blunder that will give the re- publican party a victory, no matter who Is at the head of the ticket
 Taft, if he is nominated. will be de- feated largely by the defection of repu5- icans who will not support him under any ossibe circumstances. And when these cave their own party for such a reason h.. a~7 not looking around very carefully to- other candidate they will support. lt ,rely a question as to whether the repu> leans are willing to attend a funeral party There will be nothing else to do if Taft is again the nominee. He cannot be elected. hut Roosevelt can. And to my mind. that IS the principal issue now before the repub. lican workers.f

PROHIBIT EXPECTATION
OF WAR MUNITIONS
To ANY Nation With Which the United
States Is at Peace Is Gist Of
Resolution Adopted by
the Senate.

Washington, d. c., March l4.-Revolu-
tionists or promoters of domestic vio-
lence in any pam American country here
after may not hope for war supplies
from the United States.
The Senate yesterday adopted reso-
luton which when passed by the House
will empower the president to prohibit
at his discretion any expectation of mu-
nitions of war to any country with
which the United States is at peace.
Senator Root, who framed the resolu-
ton, said thousands of Americans in
Mexico are fleeing from their homes
there, imperiled by arms shipped to reb-
els by Americans.
The resolution was the outgrowth also
of the Mexican governments request
for revision of the United States nau-
trality laws. 1t is expected that the
House will pass the measure to-day.
One result probably will be an increase
in the border control to enforce neutral
ity and stop all shipments of arms.

loop for the winning tally, making the
final score % to p. Only minute be-

sent Montpelier high ahead when he
scored on a long shot. This made the
large delegation OF Spaulding rooters
which accompanied the team gaze at the
game with a gloomy aspect, which soon
disappeared when Spaulding made their
winning points.
The game was the fastest and most
exciting that has been played in the
Montpelier Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium this
winter. The game was anyone's all the
way, the lead changing several times.
There was contrast between the game
last night and the one played in this
city few weeks ago when Spaulding
swamped the Capital city team. Last
night Spauldng had to play to the last
minute, before the game came TO them.
Spaulding was little off color, their
basket shooting being conspicuous by
their inability to locate the loop.
Montpelier opened the first half in
snappy fashion by scoring four baskets
from the floor, while Spaulding had only
one point, a basket from the foul line. to
their credit Smith threw one and
