MYSTIC KEY
TO MEXICAN JAIL
!
Just Little Note From Uncle Sam
to President Madero Makes
the Doors Swing Wide
Open.
NICHOLS is MIsTREATED
Wilson Sends "Unoffi-
cIal" Word That He Would Like

Released.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service |
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 21.-The re-
Imprisonment Of the American, Mich
OILS, at Tampico, who was recently |
convicted of murder although declar-
ed to be wholly innocent. was made
the subject of an unofficial note ad-
dressed and delivered direct to Pres
ident Madero by American Ambassa-
dor Wilson tonight. While Wilson
emphasizes the fact that his note is
unofficial" the language In parts is
SO emphatic as almost to constitute
demand for Nichols release. As
result, the American will doubtless be
freed at once.
In a statement issued after con-
ference with Madero Wilson says the
American consul at Tampico reports
the re-imprisonment of Nichols by a
state of Tamaulipas, sitting at Vic
toria, despite evidence showing his
innocence. The place of imprison-
ment is declared in the statement as
"unsanitary and filthy, endangering
the life of this innocent man who
has already been sufficiently the vic
tim of apparent judicial persecution. =
The statement continues:
My government is profoundly con-
cerned over the acqlittal and liberia
/ ton of Nichols and insists that he
/ shall have, pending final decision by
the courts, either his liberty or bail
or under such restraint as is In keep
ing with civilized practices. For
i these reasons ] have requested the
intervention of the executive on be-
half of Nichols to yecure such action
as will bring substantial ameliora-
| ton of the present situation"
4 Wilson'S note begs Madero's indul-
gence for addressing him directly
and asks him to regard the note as
4 unofficial but none the less -erious
and urgent
Nichols was convicted Of murder

years Imprisonment. The case was

said to have proved absolutely the

was victim of judicial persecution.

desired effect and Madero has taken
steps to secure Nichols release with

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson went after James
Smith. Jr.. ex-demooratc boss of New
Jersey, with bare knuckles tonight,
before 5000 citizens Of Jersey City
and 5000 at Hoboken. His friends
say he demonstrated emphatically
that no petty quarrels of local fac
tions could hinder him from hitting

manded 1t.
The governor got back to Sea qirt

Wittpenn and Wedin factions OF Jer-
sey City neck deep In trouble H.
Otto Wittpenn is mayor and the lead
er of one democratic faction N. 0.
Wedin is the sheriff of Hudson coun-
ty. containing Jersey City and is the
leader of the other faction. Each is
strong Wilson man, but furiously
| jealous of the other. The national

Governor Wilson to speak 1t happens
1 that Wittpenn faction controls the

was this faction that arranged the
meeting and arranged for Wittpenn to
4 preside.

4 Sea Gf1.t he found letter from We'd
;. in, warning him not to come to the
meeting. The Wedin people feared
the governors presence would be
] taken as an endorsement of the Witt

by that letter." the governor was
asked
