American Interests
Have Nothing to Fear,
Is MaderO'S Message

NEW YORK, Feb. SIN the light of
Washington and Wall Street reports
that American commercial and financial
interests iQ Mexico are in serious jeop-
ardy at the present time, the United
Press wired President Madero for a
statement of the actual conditions ex-
listing in his republic. The reply is as
follows:
Mexico City, Feb. 8.
American interests in Mexico have
nothing to fear. The troubles which
have occurred in Chihuahua (state) are
OF limited Importance, since they are
nothing more than mutlnies of undis-
ciplined soldiers without any political
goal.
II am confident that in very few
days, tranquility and calm will be com
pletely re-established in the whole state
of chihuahua.
"In regard to the situation in Morales
the energetic measures which we are
taking will, l trust, in a month or a
month and one-half at the most, have
completely pacified this region.

General Orozco
Denies DeSertion
Of Madero'S Cause

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-That the fear of
the United States Government that the
situation in the state Of Chihuahua may
develop serious trouble, Is borne out by
a telegram to the United Press today
from Gen. Pascual Orozco, the consti-
tutional governor of the state, of whose
loyalty to President Madero the United
States Government has been in doubt
Orozco admits the inf1amed public opin-
ion against Madero in the state of Chi
huahua, but denies that he has deserted
the standard of the President.
"Ciudad Chihuahua, Feb. 8, 1912.
AT present the state of chihuahua
Is displaying discomfort with the Mas
dero government for not having fulfilled
the promises Of the revolution, which
he headed, and for the reason that the
people believe him incapable of carrying
out these promises. Permit me to re-
serve my personal opinion.
II only know that as soldier l am
under obligation to die Gin the defense
of the constitutional government. 1 I'M
derstand that all the news dispatches
spread broadcast with the object Of
casting doubt upon my honor and 10y
atty are paid for by secret enemies.

Governor of Chihuahua"

Pujo Says Money Trust
Will Be Investigated

Following the action Of the Demo-
cratic caucus last night, Congress
man Pujo, chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency
issued a statement today in which
he promises an immediate investiga-
ton of the money trust"
Referring to the Henry resolution
for a special investigating committee,
which was voted down by the caucus,
Mr.. Pujo said:
II am pleased with the caucus ac-
ton. The resolution offered by Mr..
Henry was in a sense revolutionary.
The legislative integrity of the House
was questioned. Special committees
interfere with the orderly admins
tration of national legislative affairs.
I will introduce today or tomorrow a
resolution vesting the Banking and
Currency Committee with plenary
power to ascertain whether there is
money trust in this country, and
any one, rich or poor. will be given
ample opportunity to appear before
the committee and furnish informa-
ton in his possession"

May Call Militia .'.-' a.
In Army Invasion
Across the Border

mat the War Department Is consid-
ering the necessity of calling upon the
militia of the various States to re-
enforce the regular army, should II
become evident that the American army
must, march into Mexico, is confirmed
In Washington today.
1t Is known that the general STAFF has
mad the question up, and that a formal
notice to the governors of the States
TO hold their militia ready for a call
TO arms was prepared, but was tenn
porarily held in suspense.
Available Regulars.
In the meantime. however, officers in
the militia division of the War De-
partment have informally discussed the
possible call with officers of the Ma
uonal Guard. 1t was in this manner
mat the information went abroad that
the Federal Government was about TO
enlist the services Of the militia to
supplement the services of the regular
army in Mexico.
There are only about 10000 troops CT
the regular army available for expe-
ditiors such as is contemplated in the
case with Mexico. This is the mobile
section of the Federal guard. While this
would form an army Of sufficient size
70 cope with most any possible condl-
zion in the Southern republic, all OF It
could not be made available for such
service.
At least $4,000 militiamen could he
used to form reserve army should an in
yaston and occupation of Mexico become
necessary. Before the militia could be
ordered off American soil thew would
have to be .re-enlisted, and would form
another volunteer force such as was
sent into the field during the war with
Spain.
Term of Enlistment.
While considering the militia call the
War Department also considered the
possible term of enlistment. This is said
to have been fixed at nine months
With conditions becoming hourly moro
alarming in Mexico and with the likeli-
hood of the secession of Chihuahua,
there are reasons to believe that the
State militia may after all be needed
and that the order temporarily suspend
ed by the War Department will be is
sued.

Weather Mans Promise

Predictions for a falrer and colder
twelve hours, beginning shortly after
shutdown tonight, today put an end to
the hopes of Washington that there
soon is to be a return to normal tenn
perature in climatic conditions.
Mercury Is scheduled to drop to 16
degrees before morning. Friday will be
fair however, with indications that a
cold wave will sweep the city from
the northwest.
The last evidences OF the most recent
snowstorm are rapidly disappearing
under a beating sun. The ice-coated
streets, however, continue to impede
traffic and pedestrians to a certain ex-
tent.
The best skating Of the winter is be-
ing enjoyed on the Tidal Basin, and on
the Potomac river today. Ice, the thick
mes of which is great enough to support
any reasonable weight, coats those
places.
