.3MFRICAN SETTLERS
MUST LEAVE MEXICO.
Rebels Drive Colonists From Their
HOmes-Sieze Farm Buildings
and Crops.

The rebel general Pascual OrOz-
co admitted yesterday that he had
given the order to disarm the Nor
mons and declares that the United
States is to blame.
He takes the grounds that he
must have arms and ammunition in
some manner, and that in taking
those of the Americans, he is do
ing no harm, for he says, if the
revolution has been crushed as
Madero says, there is no need for
Americans to be armed in Mexico.
II the United States will recognize
his government, he says, and per-
nit him to import cartridges and
arms, he will agree to protect all
foreigners, He said he demonstrat-
Cd his ability to do so until the
ed his ability to do so until the
United States shut off his supply
Of ammunition.

the statement. Their farms have

settlers comprise between 700 and

HEYBURN's IDEA OF TARIFF.

Il would maintain this govern
ment for its own people first" de-
clared Senator w. B. Hepburn Of
Idaho in a recent speech in favor
of a protective tariff which pro
tects."
And I am not envious of those
who grow rich; l am not envious
OF the men Of millions, about whom
we have heard so much. There is
one solution to all ambition, and
that is that we all die. 1t has solv-
ed many a question in this world
among men. There are not 2 per
cent Of the fortunes today in the
hands Of men whose fathers had
them. The field of opportunity
has opened the door Of fortune TO
those whose fathers knew only Ia
Dor. What is the use in bothering
ourselves because some man is
rich? If he is rich within the law,
II is his right. If the law is wrong
that enables him to be rich,
change the law as to the man af-
fected, but do not repeal and amend
laws affecting a hundred thousand
ether people in order to get at the
one man. Go after the man himself.
There are pertinent considera-
ions in dealing with this great
business question of the country,
because it is the government itself.
The issues that have been headlin-
I'd in the papers for the last few
weeks and months. and which have
,een discussed and wired over the
world. are of no consequence to
he people; they do not affect the
prosperity Of the people nor their
happiness or comfort; they repre-
sent only the rivalries among men,
he strife of men to attain not
for the benefit Of the
and their country, but
that will add to their
physical or mental comfort as indi-
iduals. I am not interested in
hat question. They can have what
hey gain under the law and keep
{ without making me envious or
ealOus. We have been dealing
With the wrong end of the ,ques-
ion; and I do not suppose. from
he conditions that surround this
discussion now. that we are going
o get back into the right track un-
il the people put US there. It may
'e in this generation, or it may be
n the next. I merely call attention
o the fact now"

BORAH OUTLINES
HIS CANP PA|GN

The following letter from United
States Senator w. E. Borah was
recently sent by him to a friend in
Lewiston.
well, the situation is somewhat
chaotic, and would be very discour-
aging to a man whose sole ambition
was to remain in public office. l
am not Indifferent to returning
here. I believe in six years more l
might be able to do enough to JUS
tify my friends in having made the
fight which they made for me to
send me here. I think, further
more, that the. next six years are
going to be most important in the
constructive legislation Of the eoun
try. | would like TO be here and
help take part in it. But writing to
you as a friend and in the utmost
candor, I am not permitting that
to be my sole and consuming am
bition. Therefore I do not feel the
chaos of the situation as otherwise
| might.
Il think there are many impor-
tant problems with which we have
to deal in these days, much that
is expected upon the part Of the
people and justly so. l am not at
all confused or disturbed about
.hese issues and these politics,
whatever may be the disturbance
IS to party lines and party fac
ions. 1 therefore propose when l
make a campaign in the state to
advocate without any compromise
md wholly without restraint the
hings for which l have been con-
ending and the politics in which L
,elieve. As I said, I shall be hap
" if the people re-elect me, but I
10 not propose to compromise my
Jews solely for the reelection. 1
will have to return here as free
nd untrammeled as when I came !
ere in the first instance, or I will !
OF return at all. A publicman |
ad better retire in such a situa-
on as l find myself now than to
ndertake to do anything except |
} earnestly advocate the things in
-hich he believes, let the chips fall
here they may.

Opposes Third Party.

OppOSCS oA
Now, as to a third party, I do
not believe there is anything to be
gained by a third party. That is
to say, l do not believe it will re-
suit in greater progress toward the
things we ought to legislate, l
cannot see any fruits to be gath
cred from that effort. l do not be-
lieve that it is possible to build
up third party in this country
which can get hold of legislation
within the next 20 years. If l
thought that by joining a third
party I could more effectually do
what ought to be done, that we
could more effectually legislate, for
wnat the people ought to have,
would not hesitate to join it. But
/ do moi believe that is the best
way to accomplish it.
an saying this l do not want to
conceal the fact that sympathize
vsry profoundly with Colonel
Roosevelt views upon many mat
ters, and l utterly detest the meth
cd by which he was defeated at
Chicago. But even possessing this
feeling as l do, l do not want to
be led into doing a vain and use
less thing and putting the progress
sive movement back ten or twenty
years. And when | say progress
sive movement, l mean the doing
Of those sane and reasonable things
which every man knows ought to
bc done.
There is not a man in the Unit
ed States that has the quiverings
OF conscience left, but knows that
under present conditions practical
~ everything we eat and everythin
we wear is tolled by some combin-
alton before it gets to the people.

FOUR DAYS OF TERRIBLE SUSPENSE BREED WILD RUMORS

Olympic to have her boats ready to
transfer the passengers.
The Titanic, during all this time.
continued to give distress signals and
to announce her position.
The wireless operator seemed abso-
lutely cool and clear-headed, his send
Ing throughout being steady and per,
fectly formed, and the judgment used
by him was Of the best.
The last signals heard from the IT,
tanic were received at 1927 A. NJ, when
the Virginian reported having heard a
few blurred signals which ended alb
ruptly
On the same night this dispatch was re
ceived from Montreal:
The two Allan Line steamships Vir-
ginian and Partisan, which were re-
scene of the Titanic disaster, had not
reported to the company here up to 10
o'clock tonight any definite news OF
what they had done.
The report that the virginian had sent
wireless to the effect that she had
rescued a number of passengers and
then had retransferred them to the Car
pathia was not confirmed.
George Hannah, General Passenger
Agent Of the line. is OF the opinion that
the Vfrginian arrived on the scene too

voyage. She may not be in touch with
the world until she nears tine Irish
coast.
Mr.. Hannah thinks that the Partisan
may have arrived in time to be of as
sistance to the Titanic. II she did not
he thinks she would probably have
spent some time cruising around in
search of persons clinging to wreckage
and 1t is possible that some were saved
in this way.
Sir Montague Allan. head Of the Allan
Line. said tonight:
We have heard no word from the
Virginian, and have received no Off
cial message as to the whereabouts Of
the passengers. We have received,
however. a Marconigram dispatched to
New York stating that the Carpathia
had arrived on the spot where the
Titanic had been, that all the Titanics
boats had been accounted for, and that
$50 of the passengers had been saved,
but that the rest had gone down with
the Titanic. This Is not official and we
have no official news yet. I shall be
very glad to make public the text OF
any official news we receive.
And this from Boston:
Although wireless operators all over
the New England Coast were constantly
up on duty tonight endeavoring to pick
up messages regarding the fate of the
Titanic, not one had oeen able to learn
anything at midnight. Conditions, the
operators said, were far from ideal
Not only was there an unusually large
amount Of static disturbance, but so
many amateurs were operating their in
strumerts that there was much inter-
ference.
These messages were sent on Mon

day night and published in the news
papers Of Tuesday morning, but it was
not until 500 o'clock on Monday night
that the admission even that the Titan
ic had struck an iceberg was made at
the offices Of the White Star Line Com
pany. at 8 Broadway. Then General
Manager Franklin admitted. that the
greatest liner In the world had sunk
and that probably only those Of her
passengers who were then aboard the
Carpathia had been saved.
How many OF the Titanic's pas
sengers there were aboard the Car
pathia was not known positively. Only
q partial list Of names had been WIRE
lessed from tho Cunarder, and many
Of these were so garbled In the sending
that they were found not to correspond
with names on the published passenger
list. It was believed. however. that
86B persons VINO had sailed from
Southampton aboard the Titanic were
then aboard the Carpathia- It was
hoped that later reports would increase
this number. There was no thought
that instead Of increasing It later. ac-
curate reports would sweep away 161
Of the names Of those believed to be
saved.
The admission that there had been
an accident at all followed day In
,, which the White Star Line officials
had been optimistic in the extreme. Al
no time had the admission been made
that every one aboard the huge steam
ship had not been saved. The shiI
itself. 1t was confidently asserted. was
unsuitable. and inquirers were in.
formed that she would reach port prob.
ably under her own steam. but surely
with the help OF the Allan liner thu
virginian. which was reported to b.
towing her. AS the day passed, how
ever, with no new authentic repor
from the Titanic or any Of the ship.
which were thought to have Responded
to her wireless call for help. 1t becam.
apparent that authentic news OF tn.
disaster probably could come only from
her sister ship. the Olympic.
Thus It was nearly nishtfall befor,

the extent of the disaster was realized.
Then came the message from Capt.
Haddock of the Olympic. picked up at
Cape Race and forwarded to this city
over the land wires. The message
was relayed Immediately to the White
Star offices, and there Mr. Franklin
positively declined to make It public.
He still held out the hope that there
were passengers from the Titanic
aboard the Allan liners, virginian and
Partisan. And even when the admis-
sion was wrung from him that surely
the Carpathia would have left no one in
a lifeboat or In the water, and that.
therefore, only those Of the Titanic's
passengers aboard her had been saved.
he still chung to the hope that In some
unexplained way others Of the Titanic's
complement were aboard the two Allan
liners.
OF Capt. Haddock's message. Mr..
Franklin at first would say only that
it was brief. and neglected to say
that all the crew had been saved. u
Finally this version of the message
was made public at the White Star Of
fees:
Capt Haddock Of the Olympic sends
a wireless message to the White Star
offices here that the steamer Titanic
sank at 2:2O A. NJ, after all the pas
sengers and crew had been lowered to
lifeboats and transferred to the Vir-
gilman. The steamship Carpathia, with
several hundred passengers Of the Tie
| tanic, is now en- route to New York.
At nine o'clock this amplified state.
ment was issued:
AS far as we know the situation.
| there have been rumors from Halifax
| that three steamers were at the scene
| of the Titanic'g sinking, namely, the
| Virginian, the Partisan, and the Car
| pathia. We have heard from Capt.
| Haddock of the Olympic. who says
| that the Titanic sank at $50 O'clock
| this morning. Haddock also informs
| us that the Carpathia had SO sur
| vivors on board. 1t "a very difficult
| to say whether the Virginian and the
/ Partisan have any survivors on board
until we can get report from those
vessels.
i We have asked for that report from
Capt. Haddock, and we are expecting
a reply at any time. The Carpathia
| is proceeding to New York direct. We
/ very much fear that there has been
| serious !. IS Of life, but 1t Is Impossible
/ for us to say definitely concerning this
4 sad part of the situation until we are
able to reaSsure ourselves whether or
not any OF the THAMES passengers
are aboard the Allan linerA
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-04-28

We are hopeful that the ,rumors
from Halifax that there are passen-
Esr r., aboard .,s, the virginian AN. and the
that these vessels will turn up with
some Of the passengers. It is the loss
Of life that makes this thing so awful:
We can replace the money loss, but
not the lives OF those who went down.
For another hour Mr.. Franklin strove
to get In communication with the Pari-
sian or the Virginian but with out sue
cess, and at ten o'clock he admitted
for the first time that Capt. aaddock's
message had held out little hope that
the passengers had been taken aboard
these steamers.
what Capt. Haddock did say" con-
ceded Mr.. Franklin sadly. twas dis
couraging to such a belief"
So late was 1t before these admis-
sions were made, however, and SO slow
~ did their import overcome the feel
ing Of assurance which had been ema-
mating from the White Star offices all
day that there was no great rush OF
terrified relatives and friends to Nine
