ha; In other words, it was suggested that az
a SEQUEL to the earlier effort there should
now be international cooperation for the plac'
ing of the production and traffic in opium I'M
der international law.
The elimination of the long fight is now In
sight An international conference was heio
recently at The Hague, the capital or the
Netherlands. to arrange for measures that
will put up the bars against opium and other
habit forming drugs all over the world. Many
of the men who attended the Shanghai con
ference were appointed by their respective
governments to represent them at The Hague
The power and sign fcance of the two gain
erings was vastly different, however At the
Shanghai conference those in attendance
could only advise and recommend AT me
Hague conference the delegates were empoW-
cred by their respective governments 10 agree
upon definite measures After prolonged SEES
sions measures were decided upon which, IL
is expected. will fully carry out and put into
effect the objects of the conference. Ihese
measures will be reported to the various gov
ernments represented to be followed py iesis-
lative action on the part of their law-makng
bodies putting into execution the regulations
agreed upon. This is supposedly mere mat
FOR of routine as all the powers have given
their promise.
foremost of the regulations agreed upon
are those for uniform national laws ana regu-
lations to control the production, manufacture
and distribution of opium and it's derivatives
Almost as important will be the regulation
nv the universal postal union OF the transmls
sion of opium through the mails. Going yet
further in the direction OF complete control
will be the restrictions that are to be placed
,,non the cultivation of the poppy, from which
opium is derived, and limiting the number OF
ports through which the drug may be shipped
by opium-producing countries. There was
adopted also uniform marks Of Identification
for packages containing opium in interna'
tional transit.
The nations that are interested in this
worldwide crusade and were represented al
the conference include the United states,
China Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan. The Netherlands, Persia Portugal, Rus
STA and Siam Some of the other powers,
notably Austria-Hungary, were not directly
represented because they are not much affect
ed by the opium evil, but they have given as
surance that they will abide by the regula-
lions which have been agreed upon by the
conference When the international confer

intense interest by appointing strong dele

0rozCo Seeking to EmbrOlI His
Country and United States.
AMERICANS THUS IN DANGER
Rebel Leader, Unable to Obtain
Munitions, May Be Resorting
to Other Methods.

Mexico City. April 1.-THE belief is grow
ing among observers here that General
Pascual Orozco. the rebel leader, is losing
faith in the success of the revolution
through being unable 10 obtain supplies of
ammunition and that he is seeking to en-
broil Mexico and the United States by at
tacks upon Americans.
Tho assaults on American citizens fleeing
from Parral. the robbery Of the Chihuahua
ConsuTs official mail and the execution by
rebels OF Thomas Fountain, OF Las Cruces,
n Nj. captain OF federal gun under Cen
cral Pancho Villa arc all reported In tele-
grams to government officials TO have been
done by command of General Orozco for
the purpose stated.
Washington. April 1.-THE indignation OF
state Department officials over the execu-
ton Of Thomas Fountain. the American
gunner. who was captured by the rebels at
Parral. e believed to he certain TO preju-
dice any attempt on the part OF the Mexi-
can rebels to secure any recognition of bel
ligerent rights. so necessary to a successful
conduct OF their campaign.
The State Department did everything IN
it's power to prevent the execution, which.
IN its opinion. was in violation Of the rules
OF war Of all civilized countries \ tele-
gram received only this morning from
American Consul Letcher at chihuahua
dated Tuesday and delayed. said that the
consul had protested to the rebel chiefs
against the execution of Fountain not only
M Chihuahua but at Parral where the man
was arrested.
However. he had iust heard through the
local newspapers, which he believed TO ne
accurate. that Fountain had been tried and
executed that morning. In the opinion OF
the state Department the mans killing wss
deliberate murder.
II Is recalled, however, that in his proc
lamation President Taft expressly warned
Americans against participating in the revo-
luton on either side, indicating plainly that
they would do so at their own risk. This
nevertheless, does not preclude the Ameri-
can government from taking measures 10
secure reparation.
II is regarded ss rather a coincidence
that at the time NJ Fountains execution
