SMITH INSISTS
 ON PROTECTION
Will Not Commit Himself on Intervention Idea, But Says Mexico Should In sure Safety of Americans Within Her Borders
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

FL PASO, Sept 13.-Summarizing the work of his committee, Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan. chairman of the sub committee of the senate committee on foreign af- fairs to investigate the alleged Amer ican activity in fomenting the pres ent Mexican revolution. said today:
 While it would be foolhardy for our government to involve itself un- necessarily in the affairs of Mexico and suzerain the western hemisphere, We should never hesitate to protect American citizens from torture, per secution and robbery which occur, through the inability of constitutional authorities to exercise their protec- tive functions for the preservation of the liberties and other rights of Americans
 50 many cases of Wanton Oppres- sion and unnecessary hardships have presented themselves to our commit tee and seemingly so little has been done by our government to strike at the roof of the entire difficulties, that I am not surprised to find among the Ai4Olt ItNhlCSS Ol AtAICdH ptOpit d disposition to belittle our prOWess, decry our strength and misconstrue our motives.
 "A firm, determined, vigorous and unrelenting foreign policy which asks justice and fair treatment of Ameri- cans at the hands of other govern ments and assures the same treat ment to their citizens among us, should secure a heritage to our peO- pie and it must not be garment to put on and off at the Whim or ca price of anyone If I had any idea of intervention I would not give it because I have no facts upon which to base such a statement. l will say, however, that I hope that long before our government could act through appropriate channels, fair and equitable solution between the warning elements in Mexico will have been reached"
 Smith left today to join his fellow committeeman, Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico al Los Angeles. His preliminary investigations here is completed

EMPEROR IS BURIED.
Impressive as We'll As Picturesque Ceremonies Mark the Occasion.

TOXIC, Sept 13-The body of Elm peror Mutsuhito was conveyed from Tokio to Aoyama tonight on the first stage of the long journey to the last resting place. It was a picturesque, though solemn procession. Borne on a two-wheeled cart drawn by oxen, the huge casket containing the body of the Emperor of the Era of En- Iightenment" was taken through lane of soldiers, back of whom thronged countless thousands of natives and numerous foreigners, over three miles of roads brilliantly lighted with torches and arc lights.
 Under the glare of these. black and white funeral poles and sacred trees stuck out in bold relief from a back ground of mourning and draped and beflagged buildings Following the impressive funeral services today at the palace here, a single detonation of q gun tonight served as an announce ment to the waiting thousands of To- kio that the cortege was leaving the palace for Aoyama. The firing of this gun. it developed later, was also the signal which General Count MareSuke Nogi. one of Japan's foremost soldiers and his wife awaited to kill themselves, so that they might be with the Elm peror whom the general has served so we'll in life.

 0N MOUNTAIN
Three Youths Brave Alaska Cold on Hunting Trip and Frozen Bodies Are Found Where They Dropped From Hunger
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

JUNEAU. Alaska, Sept. 13.-Evidence of terrible suffering was brought to light with the finding yesterday of the Oliver and Adelbert Linscott, three youths who left Juneau on a hunting expedition a week ago and perished in the Sheep Creek mountains from cold and hunger.
 Divers body was found near the summit of the mountain. Three hunj- red feet nearer on a dividing ridge lay Shattuck and Linscott Shattuck's head was pillowed on his companions body. These two had eaten the paper from exploded shot gun shells and grass roots torn from the mountainside in a vain effort to stave off starvation No matches or loaded cartridges were found in the clothes of the dead hunt CTS. The three boys probably died last with suffering.
 It is believed they descended the slope of the mountain and wandered through the flats where a running stream could have been followed to Saltwater and safety, but becoming discouraged. they probably retraced their steps in an effort to reach ca bin where they could seek shelter.
 The bodies will be shipped south on the steamer Jefferson, sailing for Se- attle tomorrow that of Shattuck going to Gresham, Ore, Linscott to Seattle and Oliver to Portland.
