WRECK INJURIES TWENTY-FIVE
Nickel Plate Passenger Train Crash

Erie, Pa.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 11.-Twenty-five
persons are reported injured, but nc
one killed, in a collision between a
passenger train on the Nickel Plate
and switch engine at Wesleyville
near here.
The reports of the wreck have been
conflicting, but officials of the com
pany say no one was injured fatally
The wreck knocked down telegraph
poles and made communication with
the wreck difficult.
Wrecking crews were sent from
here and hospital train made up
to bring the injured to the local hos,
pitfalls. The private car of A. W.
Johnson, general manager, was at
tached to the wrecked train, bu:
whether any of the occupants were

INTERVENTION
NOT INTENDED
Washington Authorities Declare War
Talk Without Adequate Basis.
TO STRENGTHEN BORDER PATROL
President Taft Opposes Sending
Troops Across Border Except
in Cases Of Extreme
Emergency.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Talk Of i'm
pending intervention in Mexico an
the probable calling of an extra ses
sion of congress to consider the Mex
lean situation with view to interven
tion was semi-officially declared to b.
without adequate basis, on the return
here of the assistant secretary o
state, Huntington Wilson, who has
recently been in conference witt
President Taft.
No official statement came from the
assistant secretary regarding MeX
authoritative way that there has beer
no recent change in the attitude ant
purposes of the administration with
respect to Mexico. The president is
opposed to sending American troops
across the border except by arrange
ment with the Madero government
and then only in acute emergencies in
volving the safety of Americans at
points close to the frontier where it
is manifestly impossible for the regu
lar hCAlCdl uuIHOlIIlC0 W CAICAN
them timely protection.
Troops May Cross.
It is not impossible that detach
ments of American troops may be
compelled to cross the border in
emergencies of the sort indicated, but
If they do, it will be with either the
tacit or express consent of the MeXi-
can authorities, and the expedition
will return to American soil as speed
lily as possible. There will be no
formal intervention at any time with
out the consent of congress and while
it is admitted by the officials here that
the latest advices from northern Mex
leo show conditions There have be-
come worse in the last two weeks, it
is not expected the situation will grow
so desperate that congress will have
to be called together to consider the
advisability of sending an army across
the border.
To Use Diplomacy Only.
Meanwhile, however, there will be
no relaxation in the military prepara-
tions intended to make the patrol OF
our border effective against incur
sions of Mexican revolutionists and
bandits. All available troops will be
sent there to such number as may be
required to protect the towns and
ranches to the north of the border
line against loss of life and property
hv raidc from the other side
The pressure on both the Madero
government and the responsible lead
er of the insurrection to protect the
lives and property of Americans and
other foreigners will be steadily ap-
piled through diplomatic channels.
Both sides will be made to under
stand that they will be held to strict
accountability for the acts of their
adherents

rary chairman and w. T. Findley tenn

visory committee in the campaign was
adopted This committee will be an
nounced in a few days.
