Altitude Unchanged

Washington, October 20.--The atti- tude of the United States toward Mex leo is unchanged by the Diaz revolu- ton and despite the gravity with which officials here regard the latest upris- ing 1t Is the intention of this govern ment to adhere strictly to it's announced policy of non-intervention.
 Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, on his way back to his post at Mexico City, conferred today with Assistant Secretary Adee and before leaving Washington will confer with Secretary Knox. It is known here that the Ma aero government Is planning an active campaign against Diaz, who Is pop ularly said to be acting in the interest of his uncle. Porfirio Diaz, the exiled President. The warnings of this gov- ernment that Americans and their in- terests must be protected will be re- newed.
 Ambassador Wilson spent several hours today at the state sdepartment in going over the latest advices from Mexico and in conference with officials. It is said that the presence at Vera Cruz of the cruiser Des Moines and the prospect that in day or two the cruiser Tacoma also will arrive in Vera Cruz has been taken as Indications that this governments intention to become Tn any sense a /oarty to Mexico's in- ternational dihiY ties. Assurances have been given that'th mission of the ves- sells to Vera Cruz is purely humanitar- ian and precautionary; that in no way political, but for protection to Amer jeans and other foreigners who may need such assistance.
 Dispatches received by the state de- partment Indicate military movements of revolutionists and federal troops about Vera Cruz.
 That the commanders of the opposing forces announced, practically simultan- eously. that the decisive battle would be fought without the limits off, the city Is regarded here as coincidence and not due to an agreement even in- formally made.
 Ambassador Wilson early this week probably will take up for consideration with Secretary Knox the claims If this government against Mexico on account cf losses sustained by Americans due 10 the expressions of the various revo- lutionary forces.

MATHEWSON'S WORK
 IN WORLDS SERIES , WORTHY OF PRAISE
RAISE DUE MATHEWSON
 FOR WORLD SERIES w
5+ched Great Ball in Every Contest and Deserved
 Fate-Blames No One for Final Defeat. ! Says It's Fortune of War
By c. ". GREER

ayeball for the present season is over
 climax was reached in one or the
 ,t sensational worlds series that the
 ne ever saw, and now the fans car
 , their thoughts to other sports until
 sap begins to rise again in the spring
 ,ut it may be well worth while in not ing the passing of the present season to dwell for a moment upon the peerless Giant veteran whose work featured the last game of the year.
 Christy Matthewson, who was called upon by McGraw to shoulder the bulk of the responsibility in the most important games of his long career, and the game which was to decide the worlds baseball supremacy, answered the call with one of the most worthy attempts that he had ever made. Twice before during the series he had attempted to pitch his club to vic tory, and each time he had failed through the lack of support by his team mates. In the last contest every ounce of skill, brawn, and nerve which the veteran pos- sessed was called into tplay, and right nobly did they respond, and yet the vet eran lost. How well he worked and how much he deserved splendid victory is we'll described by Grantland Rice, who says of the great hurler concerning his last defeat:
 "There is but one answer to the most dramatic, heartrending worlds series ever played. Mathewson, the central figure of the swiring scene. could beat the Red Sox unaided, but he was powerless be- fore the assault of the Red Sox and the Giants combined. Briefly, pitching with all the wonder of his combined brain, heart and arm. he was unequal to the task. of beating both clubs. He was never better in his career. but there is no man that ever lived who is gerat enough to beat seventeen.
 Three times he stood and fought back the Red Sox's rush. He carried them into two extra session rounds in spite of his support. In these three contests he eight earned runs were scored behind him. But the answer comes herein the three games Il runs were piled against him and of these nine were presented Boston through the blear-eyed support Of his own henchmen. Backed up as he should have been and counting only the earned runs made by both contestants. his three games should have resulted 5-o II and 2-1, with two victories and d drawn fight in place of two defeats and a draw.

 Jersey City, N. J., october 20,-Eugene V. Debs, socialist candidate for president, addressed large crowds at meetings in Elizabeth this afternoon and In this city tonight
 Tt was seventeen years ago that the first socialist meeting was held over here, said the candidate in his speech in this city. At that time we were de- nounced as bloodthirsty anarchists, but there have been many changes in those seventeen years.
 Now the working men are joining the socialist party They have learned that whatever they want they must get for themselves, not expect the bosses to give it to them The workers are joining the socialist party knowing that these conditions will be remedied if our candi- dates are elected"

Storage Battery Trains

 Storage batteries are now being used Tor propeliing multiple unit railroad trains. the first of these trains having been built for the United Railways ot Cuba. It was tested out the other day in the Pennsylvania railroads tubes and made fast time. The development of this system does away with the necessity of having third rail or a trolley and the trains should be much cheaper to operate than either steam or the ordinary electric cars.

 And after this defeat so undeserved the real greatness of the Giant veteran as- serted itself to an even greater extent than during the conflict. Reports differ as to his actions immediately following the game. Some say that he was gathered upon the shoulders of his team mates. who with tears of sympathy and praise for his work carried him to the club house. Others say that alone he walked slowly from the field, while tears of dis appointment rolled down his ruddy cheeks In either case he took his defeat as a fortune of war. blaming no one, not even Snodgrass, whose glaring error was directly responsible for his defeat. This was a proof of real greatness aside frorn that upon the diamond, and it is this spirit that has made the great veteran the ideal of the New York fans.

Georgia's overwhelming defeat at the hands of tho Vanderbilt Commodores came rather as surprise to the Red and Black supporters. Il was known that the Georgia boys were stalking everything upon this contest and that they had been in preparation for it since the early sea son, while Vanderbilt facing Virginia and Harvard for subsequent games, would be unable to make any especial ef- forts to meet the Georgia squad This situation, together with the fact that Coach Cunningham has probably the strongest squad in the history of the Georgia college, caused mdny to believe that an interesting struggle would result when these two teams met Saturday. The humiliation which the Georgians received does not detract from the Georgia strength; they have easily one of the heaviest and ablest squads in the south today, and will probably prove a stum- bling block for most of their S. l. A. A. opponents However, their defeat by such an overwhelming score removes all doubt as to the strength of the Commodore squad this season. They arc at preesnt head and shoulders above their southern rivals, and have an excellent chance with their northern opponents whom they meet later on.
 Auburn and Clemson
 Again Auburn was scored on Saturday as a result of tumble Last Saturday a tumble gave the University of Florida touchdown against the orange and Blue, and day before yesterday another error of this nature allowed the Clemson squad a touchdown. The South Caro- linians have good machine this season judging from their work in Birmingham yesterday; and while it was not expected that they would score against Auburn, the fact that Donahue's Tigers rolled up ? points Is not disappointing to the Orange and Blue supporters. Auburn ap- pears to have an impregnable line this season, bat their offensive work will have to be developed considerably if they are to contend with success against the Com modores on November 23.
 Techs Victory
 Techs victory over Mercer was not surprising. although the Yellow Jackets are not the team this season that they usually are. They are light, probably one of the lightest aggregations in the south. but are we'll coached, and will probably win several S. 1. A. A. con- tests this fall However, they are not to be ranked with Vanderbilt, Auburn and Georgia, who eompose the representative strength of the Southern association this season.

Might Bombard Port

Mexico City, october 2O.-The Mex lean government expressed confidence tonight that the administration at Washington had no intention to re- strict it's efforts to retake Vera Cruz even though it should become neces- sary to Lombard the port. Ernesto Ma dero minister of finance, and uncle of the President, said that he had re- ceived a telegram from Washington to the effect that Mexico was free to use whatever means 1t deemed neces- sary. Non -combatants have been given notice that an attack Is likely between midnight and tomorrow.
 It is understood that the Mexican government has made inquiry regard ing the, attitude of the United States should the federals attack Vera. Cruz in view of a protest made by the for eign consuls In that city against such step.
 The administration is confident that the revolt will be quickly suppressed. President Madero said today that 1t was not spreading but was confined to Vera Cruz and Tuspam.
 Mexico City Anxious
 With every news avenue closed the city is prey to all sorts of rumors Heavier patrols than ever cover the city nightly. A most sensational rhmor was that 450 members of the Photographic force, who volunteered for service and went to the front. have deserted.
 The American embassy is protesting against the censorship in Vera Cruz Of messages of the war department. The embassy has instructed the consul at Vera Cruz, William Canada, to intimate to General Diaz that such business must not be delayed

 Gen. Felix Diaz In a telegram to a news paper here says his future plans depend on the attitude of the army. He de- clares that he is not guided by personal ambition, for with the contendlng factions reconciled as the result Of the new move ment he shall call elections in which he pledges his honor not to permit his name to be offered. He adds that he will not accept candidacy for any public office, will uphohl the person elected fairly, who does not owe his elevation to a moment of madness, as in the present case of Madero.
 Diaz says he has appropriated only funds intended for the payment of troops or public employees.
 The government announces its intention to form a division of 10000 men for the protection of the capital, under General Puerta. General Blanque's arrival has been delayed on account of the activity of rebels in the Torreon district.
