MEXICO s REPLY
UNSAT|SF ACTORY
Promise Protection for Ameri-
cans as Demanded, But Fail
to Support Assertions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. u.-Mexicos
reply to President Taft's note, written
in September demanding that Ameri-
can interests in Mexico be protected
was received by the state department
today, and is not regarded by the Off
Gals as satisfactory.
There will be further passage of dip
lomatic reports at once. The text OF
neither President Tafts note nor the
Mexican reply has been made public
but high official of the state depart
ment today made the significant remark
that Mexicos best reply would have
been to protect American interests
which she has failed to do.
1t is known that President Taft made
q very plain remonstrance against the
treatment accorded Americans and
American property by rebels, and indi-
Gated with equal plainness that the
United States expected the Mexican
government to' assert dts authority in
behalf of Americans. The Mexican re-
ply contains promises of protection, but
these promises are. not backed by ac-
tual protection.
Aside from whatever action President
Taft may take, the state department
viii continue to make remonstrances in
every case OF damage to AmericaRean-
terests, and the claims. of this -coi1ntry
will be filed with the assurance that
they will be pressed with vigor. II is
said claims for reparation already filed
amount to more than $4,000 900.
The reply of.the Madero government
was considered carefully by the state
department and the president, with a
view to outlining some method of pro-
lection for. American interests, rather
than what points of the note are salts
factory, as it is plainly stated that mere
promises, not supported by actual pro-
lection, wouldsrecei1e little considera-
ton from the government

PRESIDENT TAFT ON
WATERWAY APPROPRIATION
viii Not Approve Any Expenditure in
Mississippi Valley That Does
Not Prevent Floods.

Washington, Dec. 4.-President
Taft today told the Rivers and Har-
bors National Congress he was OPP
posed to any scheme of Mississippi
river Improvement which did not con-
template the prevention of floods as
its primary object and he would give
his endorsement only after the work
had been placed in the hands Of army
engineers. He said he favored the
expenditure by the government and
those states in the Mississippi valley
of $40,00O,OO0 or $5O,0OO,0O0 for the
permanent improvement Of the river.
Appropriations for other waterways
projects would not be approved by
him, he said, unless as dire necessity
as that in the Mississippi valley could
be shown.
Many of the delegates were startled
by the presidents speech.

SAVED BY THE KINDNESS
OF TWO WHITE GENTLEMEN

The residence of S. S. Brewer, col
ored, was found to be on fire about
1880 o'clock Friday night. The oc
cupants were asleep. Two gentlemen
passing the house saw the fire
stopped and. finding that they could
not arouse anyone, entered the prem
ises and extinguished the flames, and
at the same time gave the fire alarm,
which succeeded in arousing the in
mates.
Brewer says it was God-send; that
he is desirous of learning the identity
of the gentlemen, as he would be
glad to give them something for their
kindness. The white people are
friends of the negro and rejoice in his
prosperity, if he is an honest and up
right negro. Brewer is very well
known by the business men of the
city.
The fire originated from laundry
furnace which Brewers wife had been
using and which she had left on the
back porch.

Unscientific."

ing reform OF the "unreasoned and
unscientific" banking system of the
United States, Secretary of the Treas

in his annual report as long as the
present system exists the federal gov
ernment will be exclusively responsi-
bic for commercial. industrial and So
cial disasters which flow from panics
and attack, directly or indirectly,
every home in the nation.

into organized cooperation and pro-
vide for a central agency through
which they could work together free
OF political or trust control.
He expects deficit of s22,556,023
for the fiscal year ending June 80,

penditures. For the current fiscal
year ending June 30, 1918, he expects

TON INQUIRY RESUMED

Washington, Dec. AIN response to
Isubpoenas issued for witnesses for the
