THE POLICE COURT CASES.

Yesterday In police court two OF
the ~proprietOrs OF drinking places IN
the City OF Wheeling whose places
were described I'm an article appearing
In the Sunday News. were fined each
$1,000 and costs for violations Of the
city ordinances. The significant part
about this transaction is that the evil
dence on which these men were fined
was found by private citizens. acting
upon their own initiative: that the en-
tire case was prosecuted by private
citizens. and evidence secured and pre-
scented In court without the assistance
OF the Police Department TO the extent
OF lifting n finger or securing a word
OF evidence.
The ofenseS charged in these pros
ecutions have been carried on more
or less openly in the City OF Wheeling
for months past. II is a notorious fact
that some OF the wine rooms have
been run in open and fragrant viola
tion OF the law. The difficulty Of draw
ing the line between a restaurant and
saloon properly conducted and one i'm
properly conducted is recognized. yet
there are well defined rules which any
intelligent person can understand. and
there are well defined violations which
every observer can identify.

by the Police Department Of the CITY
OF Wheeling before this? That is the

MEXICAN PEOPLE
HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR WANTON SACRIFICE OF
AMERICAN LIVES.
Or Illegal Acts Endangering Ameri-
can Property or Interests -Mexi-
can Government and Rebel Leader
Notified by United States.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington. d. c., April 1.-THE
Mexican government was today no.
titled that the United States would
hold Mexico and the Mexican people
responsible for all wantOn or il
legal acts sacrificing or endangering
American life or damaging American
property or interests.
A similar notification was sent to
Pascual Orozco, jr., the rebel leader.
In addition to the copy of the note
to the Mexican government, a
special note was sent to Pascual
Orozco, jr., to be delivered by
American Consul Letcher.
The note to Orozco says: The
government and the people of the
United States have viewed with
grave concern the practical murder
under positive orders Of one Of your
chief lieutenants of an American
citizen, who is reported to have been
taken prisoner during or at the end
OF an engagement, the prisoner said
10 have been dressed in regular uni
form and obviously one of the regu-
lar forces Of the established govern
ment of Mexico.
The government Of the United
States must insist so far as the treat
ment Of American citizens is con-
cerned, that when taken prisoner by
any force whatsoever, that the rules
and principles accepted by civilized
nations as controlling their actions
in time of war shall be followed y
Notice is given to Orozco that any
deviation from the rules of civilized
warfare on Ms part will be deeply
resented by the American govern
ment and people and must be fully
answered for by the Mexican people
Ambassador Wilson is instructed
to call attention Of the Mexican min
lister of foreign affairs to the pres:
reports that General Villa Of the fed
erals has threatened that if OrozcC
shoots Americans captured. from the
federals, VITA will shoot American:
captured from the rebels.
Wilson is then instructed tha
while pointing out the utter inhu
manity OF such an action, you viii
call attention to the fact that re
taliation, if it be invoked by TIL
federal forces, should never be in
voked against American citizens"
Consul Letcher at Chihauhau i
instructed to point out to Orozct
that he, Letcher, will contiue to ex
ercise his functions as consul, not
withstanding the declaration Of tn
rebel leader that Letcher would no
be recognized as other than a for
eign citizen.
Attention Of both parties to III
war is called to the fact that injur.
to persons and property of foreigl
citizens will have the result Of pilinl
up heavy indemnity which they mus
pay.
