London. April 9l-Bing George V in

to fly. 1t is learned from a reliable
source that he has frequently expressed
a desire to take a ride in an aeroplane
and he probably would have done so
before now had not the Queen. fearing
for his safety, discouraged him.
But now the idea has taken more
definite form, and the authorities at
the Hsndon Aerodrome have been re-
quested 20 arrange a series OF exhibition
fight for him, so that he may convince
the Queen, who will accompany him TO
the grounds, that the time has come
when he may fly without danger. and at
the same time greatly increase his pope
ularity with sport loving Brit!shers.

ATTACKS UNFAIR
WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
Lecture Engagements Made
Subject to Cancellation.
MacvEAGH DEFENDS HIM.
Former Republican Secretary OF
Treasury Says Double 5ryan's
Salary Might Be
Adequate.

Washington.-In answer to a query
concerning his lecture tours, Mr..
Bryan said:
in fairness to myself, the newspa-
pers might have assumed that my lec'
ture engagements would not interfere
with my official business rather than
to assume that they would. All OF
my engagements are made subject to
cancellation, and | can call them of
whenever the occasion becomes neces-
sary."
Mr.. Bryan said that he did not think
any further discussion of the subject
was necessary.
Franklin MacVeagh, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, who is now in
Chicago, declared that Secretary
Bryan was absolutely correct In his
assertions that a Cabinet officer could
not live properly on $4,000 a year.
Mr.. MacVeagh served under the Taft
administration and has had consider
able experience in both political and
social circles in Washington. When
asked FOR an opinion on the matter,
Mr.. MacVeagh replied with emphasis:
"Of course, Mr.. Bryan is right. Such
a salary is merely nominal, scarcely
more than a drop in the buckeC. The
Cabinet officer has an official life to
lead as well as private. | don't doubt
that any Of them could run along on
$4,000, but they would have to live
privately. They couldn't possibly
mingle with those in official life.
In response to a question as to what
salary he considered adequate to meet
the demands of the financial strain on
a Cabinet officer, Mr.. MacVeagh said:
ut would vary. The Secretary Of
State, from the nature of his position,
must be looked upon for more lavish
expenditures in a social way than any
of the other Cabinet officers. | think
perhaps double the present salary
would be sufficient, II the Cabinet
member were careful and economical"

Chester.-A strange warfare was
witnessed in this city between a white
and a bay horse belonging to the FL.

heavy wagon. The trouble started
when the white hourse leaned across
and gave his companion a vicious nip
on the neck. With a sharp cry the bay
retaliated and kicked his antagonist
in the stomach, knocking him down.
Both horses broke loose from the pole
and the white got to its feet, and the
battle al resumed in earnest, Kick.
ing, biting and snorting, the animals
went at each other like fighting bulls.
Efforts on the part Of workmen to get
the horses away from each other were
futile, until finally the white horse
fell exhausted. The bay was then
dragged from the scene. Both animals
were badly injured.

HUERTA WILL NOT
Be RECOGNIZED
Nor Will American Troops Be
Sent To Mexico.
PRESIDENT MAKES 1T PLAIN.
There Will Be No Change In Pres.
ent Attitude OF This Govern
ment, Says President
Wilson.

Washington.-There will be no in;
tervention in Mexico by American
troops, nor will President Huerta be
officially recognized by the United
States. In a word, there will be abso-
lutely no change for the present in
the present attitude Of this govern
ment toward Mexico.
President Wilson discussed he
Mexican situation with the utmost
candor. Nothing will be done as the
result of the representations which
have been made by the diplomats in
Mexico. Their joint note to this gov
eminent, suggesting that the Ameri-
can policy be declared, has been re-
ceived by the State Department, and
there the matter will end for the pres
ent.
The fact is that President Wilson
has been unable to obtain any definite
picture of conditions in Mexico. 1t
is certain that many Of the reports Of
massacres and outrages that have
come from Mexico are untrue. Again
and again the State Department on
learning. either through letters or
through published dispatches, of al
legged brutalities by the federal or the
constitutional forces has instructed
the American consul at the place Of
the report Of the outrage or the near
est American consul to Investigate
and make a full report, and in no
case have the stories been verified.
The government has no secret
agents in Mexico, nor is there a pres
ent intention of sending any secret in
v~estigators TO report on conditions.
Ambassador Wilson's t~elegraphic re-
ports have varied so greatly from day
to day, now depicting conditions Of
deepest gloom and then indicating the
most %sanguine confidence, that the
State Department Is wholly at sea re-
garding real conditions. There Is no
disposition to censure Mr.. Wilson's
reports, for it is perfectly understood
in Washington that the political situa-
tion in Mexico City is not o iucive to
a calm and philosophical review of
daily events, Communication by mail
between Mexico City and Washington
is so slow and uncertain that no writ
ten reports which Mr.. Wilson could
have made would have any value by
the time they reached the State De-
partment.
There is a strong disposition in
Washington to view the entire action
of the foreign powers with skepticism.
1t is believed by the State Department
that much of the anti-American feel
ing in Mexico has been carefully
fomented by selfish interests for the
purpose of creating in this country a
popular hysteria which would force
the administration to send troops
across the border.

NICARAGUA TO
Be PROTECTED
Secretary Bryan Outlines a
New Policy.
PROPOSAL A BIG SURPRISE.
Exclusive Canal Rights and Ninety.
Nine.Year Lease To Naval
Base Among the Pro.
visions.

Washington.-A new policy toward
Nicaragua, involving the virtual con-
troll OF the affairs OF that republic by
the United States through a protec'
torate similar to that now exercised
over Cuba, was outlined by Secretary
Bryan at a private conference with
members OF the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee.
Mr.. Bryan's proposal, coming as a
complete surprise to most Of the mem
bers Of the committee, has been taken
by many Senators as the first pro
nouncement OF a general policy on the
part OF the Administration to extend
American control oyer the countries
surrounding the Panama Canal and to
assure the stability Of Central Amer
leap republics and the domination by
the United States Of their relations
with other great powers.
Secretary Bryan went before the
committee with a revised draft Of the
proposed Nlcaraguan treaty, negotiated
first In the Taft administration by
which the United States would secure
exclusive canal rights across Nicaragua
and a new naval base in exchange for
a $1,000 900 gold payment.
As a new feature OF the treaty, how
ever, the Secretary Of State proposed
that language similar, If not indentical.
with the so-called PLAT amendment
relating to Cuba be injected in the
treaty, giving the United States sweep
ing control of Nicaraguan affairs and
the power to regulate her foreign re-
lations and her finances.
Under the proposed plan Nicaragua
would agree in substance:
THAT wal should not be declared
without the consent Of the United
States.
THAT no treaties would be made
with foreign governments that would
tend TO destroy her independence or
that would give those governments a
foothold in the republic.
That no public debt would be con
treated beyond the ordinary resources
of the Government, as indicated by
the ordinary revenues.
THAT the United States should have
the right to intervene at any time to
preserve Nicaraguan independence or
to protect life or property"
THAT the United States should have
the exclusive right to build a canal
across Nicaragua and should have a
99-year lease to a naval base in the
bay of Fonseca and to the Great Corn
and Little Corn Islands in the CARR.
bean, with the privilege of renewing
the lease"
U. S. Would Pay 100000.
The United States in return would
pay Nicaragua $4,000, 900 to to be used
in public works and education.
It is understood the Nicaraguan
Government is willing to enter into
the proposed treaty because OF the sta
bility II would give TO the present
Diaz Government and to the proposed
reorganization of the fiscal affairs Of
the republic. It is understood a re-
funding OF the Nicaraguan debt, for
which about 100000 is required,
does not form a specific part of the
negotiations laid before the Senate
committee.
