Munitions of war tnat seem TO be part
of conspiracy against the recognized
government of Mexico will not be per-
mitted to go out. The law and precedents
were gone into extensively by the gov
ernment authorities as a result of the
request from the Mexican ambassador
here and the Mexican consul at FL Paso
that arms and ammunition be kept out OF
JuareZ.
Request of President Madero.
President Madero. through the Mexican
ambassador, had requested the United
States to prevent supplies from crossing
the interatioal boundary into Juarez or
any other point in the possession of the
insurgents. The request evidently caused
some embarrassment. In view Of the fact
that supplies OF food and other things
were allowed to be sent from Ell Paso
into Juarez last spring, when Madero
was in possession Of that place and was
still a revolutionist.
Acting Secretary Wilson explained that
the question raised was q delicate one,
and that. as 1t involved customs admins
tratiOn. he felt obliged to confer with the
Treasury officials before passing upon 1t.
The War Department officials believe
that the situation has become decidedly
easier along the border. and do not hesi-
tate to express their qualification that
the capture OF Juarez yesterday occurred
without any damage on the American
side of the line, so that there was no
necessity for a. practical answer as 10
what the, AmeFicaR troops would do in
case the Mexican bullets struck on the
American side Of the line.
Juan Sanchez Azcona, private secre-
tary to President Madero. of MEXICO. in
a telegram received here, repudiates the
statement printed in an authorised in
terview" that he predicted massacre or
Americans in Mexico IL United States
troops crossed the line.
Azcona's message was sent to Col.
Thomas 8. Hopkins, who was his counsel
when the Diaz regime. during the Madero
revolution. attempted to extradite Azcona
from Washington on technical charges OF
political acts. Col. HOrkins early In the
day teiegraphed to Azcona the printed
statement which had caused deep con-
Germ among government officials here.
II beg you to deny that I have made
any such statement" was Azcona's reply.

two members of the bureau, and the
three will make an investigation into all
phases of the strike situation and the

of the congressional investigation pro-
posed by Representative Berger and SEN
ator Miles P0:ndexter.
Allegations that Lawrence has been
made headquarters for the white slave

public last night by Representative
Berger. According to statements con-

There are stringent rules relating
to dogs and these rules are enforced
