ROUGHNESS IN REVV|NC
WORKMAN NOT ASSAULT
SO Court Rules in Dismissing
Charge Against Gas Com
pany Foreman.

charge of assault, which had been
pending against William Hart, a fore
man in the employ of the Washington
Gaslight Company, was dismissed by
Judge Pugh in Police Court this morning
The charge against Hart had q peculiar
origin He was foreman of gang Of
men who wefe working In the gas mains
in Takoma P2Sl this winter. December
twelve of the men were overcome by gas
and several of them had narrow escapes
from death. Hart, with the assistance
of DR.. Archibald l.. Miller and several
citizens of Takoma. got the men out of
the trench and revived all of them but
one.
This man was in such a serious condi-
ton from the effects of the gas that he
failed to respond to the methods used
and Hart adopted strenuous means of
bringing him around. He rolled the man
on the ground. kicked the soles of his
feet, thumped him roughly on back and
chest and otherwise mistreated him, it is
said, with the result of restoring con-
SciOuSneSS and saving life.

on an equal footing with members of the
metropolitan police force with respect to
salary and leaves Of absence.
The law which requires the street rail-
to crossing policemen went into effect

DIXON ASSUMES CHARGE
Of CAMPAIGN MONDAY
Predicts Nomination of Col.
Roosevelt if Wishes of Voters
Are Expressed.

Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon of Montana,
who will manage Theodore Roosevelt's s
campaign for the republican nomination
for President, announced today he would
take charge of the campaign Monday,
and there would be no let-up until the
republican national convention.
There is no question in any mans
mind said Senator Dixon, that an
overwhelming preponderance of the re-
publican voters of the nation are for the
nomination of Col. Roosevelt as the re-
publican standard bearer. They believe
that if Roosevelt be nominated he will
be trumphantly elected in November, and
they are fearful of political calamity to
the republican party should Mr.. Taft be
nominated. The republican party owes the
nomination for President to no man.
Says Voters Want Roosevelt.
IF this overwhelming preponderance Of
the real feeling OF the republican voters
is given expression in the election Of
delegates to the national convention
Theodore Roosevelt will certainly be the
nominee of that convention.
THE only hope of those republicans
who are against the nomination of Col
Roosevelt is to secure, by the use of fed
eral patronage in the south. the control
of delegates from skeleton political or
ganizations in those states and the suf
location of the real sentiment of the re-
publican voters in certain northern states
in the matter of the election of delegates.
Roosevelt Solid in West, He Says.
Il have not yet had time to thoroughly
investigate conditions in the eastern
states, but detailed information from
every congressional district in the great
republican states of the Mississippi val
ley. like Ohio. Illinois and Michigan, gives
every possible assurance of practically
solid Roosevelt delegations from those
states; while from the states lying west
of the Mississippi, with scarcely single
exception, the Roosevelt sentiment is ir-
resistibIe.
Il cannot believe there is any question
as TO the ultimate result at Chicago

1t is not known whether any Of these
missionaries are still in the city or wheth-
er they responded to the call Of me
United States minister to leave for the
capital.
DR.. Arthur ]. Brown secretary Of the
Presbyterian board of foreign missions
in New York, received the following ois-
patch from Peking this morning:

The message was forwarded by the
Rev. DR.. John Wherry, in charge or the

Bystanders. including DR.. Miller. who

Hart's manner Of resuscitating men over

filed. Hart entered a plea Of not guilty
and demanded a jury trial.
After considerable delay the case was
called up today, when Hart withdrew his
plea and demand for jury trial. and
asked Judge Pugh to dispose Of the case
at once. Hart explained that the method
he used was that he had used successful
ly In many other cases, and that 1t has

AMBASSADOR WILSON
WILL BE SENT A NOTE
Observance of the Neutrality Laws
Will Be Urged.
TROUBLE LIKELY TO CONTINUE
Lives and Property, It Is Expected,
Will Be Unsafe for Some
Little Time to
Come.

At a cabinet conference at the White
House today it was deemed expedient
thet President Taft issue a proclamation
comply strictly with the neutrality laws
Of the United States in all matters affect
ing Mexico.
In effect the proclamation is a warning
to Americans to stay out of Mexico at
this time. A note Will be sent to Amer
lean Ambassador Wilson at the city of
Mexico. directing him to inform Amer
leans located in Mexico to watch condi-
tiOns closely, and il the situation grows
alarming to quit the country.
The White House conference was at
tended by President Taft. Secretary of
War Stimson. Acting Secretary of State
Huntington Wilson. Secretary of Com
General Hitchcock. The text of the proc
iamation will be made public later in the
day.
Warning Is Plain.
The warning from the President is plain
that this country is not, at present. able
to afford assistance to Its citizens. and
that they must be on their good behavior
In the matter Of neutrality and observ
ance of all laws that will go toward pro-
tecting them.
In all probability the proclamation will
result in Americans leaving Mexico as
rapidly as they can do so. There Is little
to induce them to remain. Mexico. as far
as the officials Of this country can Judge.
is in for long period Of revolution and
turbulence, in which lives and property
will be unsafe. and law and order the
-fv,rr <NS
business will he next to impossible, and.
for residence purposes, Mexico will not
be very inviting, as it looks to the Cnited
States government.
The most gloomy part OF 1t. according
to dispatches reaching the government,
is that no silver lining to the dark cloud
can be seen in any direction. The long
predicted anarchy and ruin to follow the
strong hand of DiaZ is an actuality. with
months, probably years. of unstable gov
sideration.
Views of Senator Lodge.
Business interests in Mexico continue
to protest against conditions there" said
Senator Lodge, at the White House to-
day. 'but what are we to do? There is
apparently a state Of anarchy throughout
Mexico, but we must oppose Intervention
as long as possible This step should not
be taken II IL can be avoided. The situa-
ton is good deal like house atire next
door to your home. How will YOU stop
it,"
Senator Lodge was with the President
about ten minutes.
Reports received at the State Depart
ment today were meager, and consisted
only of confirmatory advices on press re-
ports telling of the killing of forty revo-
lutionists at Torreon by the federals.
Quiet is said to continue at Ensenada
and the situation at Vera Cruz seems un-
changed.
