ARMED MEXICANS
 MUST NOT CROSS
 AMERICAN BORDER
Especial from United Press


 Washington, Feb. 10-The state de- partments refusal to allow armed Mexicans to cross the American bor- der was construed nere, today, as the last step on the part of the United States to avoid complications which would necessitate rushing American troops to the Mexican border. Ameri- can troops. however ,are ready for service al moments notice should the Mexican situation not clear soon.
 Consular reports state that over 10000 Americans are scattered throughout Mexico and the adminis- tration has little doubt that. should American troops cross the Rio Grande, an anti-American uprising would re- suit This consideration. it was au- thoritativeIy stated is the only one which prevents the war department from dispa tching troops to the border.
 War department officials. today. said that on less than a weeks notice, TOO, GOO men can be mustered along the Rio Grande. The mobile army numbers 34. 900 the coast artillery will add If. 900 to this number and the sta tionary regiments and aveilahle mil- itia will round out the additional 50,- GOO.
 The state department always the most optimistic branch of the govern ment. today. made no effort 10 con- ceal the seriousness of the situation. A single additional anti-Aroericar move in Mexico. it was stated. will suffice to @ use an outpourine Of soI- diers who will patrol the border rom Fl Paso to the gulf. while warships can he rushed from Cuban waters in 32 hours.

Widow Of James Roosevelt ShanIey Wants S15,OOO A.
 IOWanee Pending Settlement
HIS FIRST WIFE ALSO
 WANTS LIKE AMOUNT
She Petitions Stamford Probate Court As Guardian Of
 Three Children
Special from United Press)

Stamford. Feb. 1O-There was a nearing in the probate court, today, before Judge Charles D. Lockwood, on the application of Mrs. James Roose- welt Shanley of "Rosemont," Stam- ford, for an additional allowance of s15, 900 pending settlement of her hus- bands estate and upon the appIica- ton of Mrs. Adel z. Bucknam. of Greenwich, as guardian of her three minor children, J. Roosevelt Shan ley. IT,, hObert Ames Shanley and Julia Shanley. for a similar addition al alio vance for the care and main~ tenance of the children.
 A year ago $15,0OO was allowed the widow and the same amount was all lowed Mrs. Bucknam as guardian of the children
 MT. Shanley. a wealthy contractor, died in August, 1910, leaving an es- tate said to be worth about $3.OJO,OOO. Practically all of it was his interest in the estate of his deceased father. Bernard Shanley, New Jersey con tractor. one-third of whose estate ect, however, to life use by the wid> 0W of Bernard Shanley, who is alive.
 The income from James Roosevelt Sanley's share of the estate is about have been presented against the es- tate of James Roosevelt Shanley and the solvency of the estate has been questioned. One of the claimants is MT. Shanley's first wife, now M. 5. Adele Bucknam. of Greenwich. Nars. Bucknam presented two claims, one for s5oU.Ooo and the other for $4O0.- GOO alleging that MT. Shanley con- tracted to pay these sums to her for her support and maintenance and that of their children at the time of her separation from him. The executors of the will have disallowed the $5o0.- oo0. claim and 1t is being pressed In the courts. There has been no specl- fic disa1lowance of the other claim.
 Aside from Mrs. Bucknam's claims totaIling $9oo. 900, there are other claims growing out of contra cts MT. Shanley was interested in at the time of his death. The Ghanley-Morrisse Company of which he was the packer. was making an enlargement of the Erie Canal, His death put stop to the work and, for time. thines were confused. It seemed likely that the strte would have to procure another .contrac ctor to complete the work and charge the cost seainst Mir. Shanley's 8 bond. This difeicultv had been over come it is understood. and interests friendly to the late Mir. Shanlev have gotten together and underta ten to cornplefe the work. It is said that. rather than the unfinished contra cts being a loss to the estate, they will really be a profit.

JOHN BULL ALARMED
 AT EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

London, Feb. 1O-while winston ChurchilTs activities in Belfast and Glasgow have served somewhat to distract public attention from the ex- change of notes between Germany and the United States, the incident is not being overlooked or discounted by the foreign office. As Er7gland's foreign policy is almost entire'y predicated on the close Anglo American relation ship, British statesmen naturally view with alarm any strengthening of bords between Germany and the United States.
 Count Von Bernstorff, who is re- sponSible for the exchange of no-es be- tween Berlin and Washinsrton, is well known to British diplomats by reason of his service in London and Egypt. He is recognized as one of the biggest men in the German foreign service and should he succeed in winning away from England any appreciable share of American friendlinesss his accom- plishment might have a very serious result on the already none too stable grip of Earl Grey as secretary of state for foreign affairs.

AIOBILIZING OF JAPANESE
 TROOPS HAS NOW CEASED.

Shanghai, Feb. 10-Reports from the north say concentration of Japanese troops on the northern border of China has ceased and that many of the Japanese garrfsons have been act ually reduced, following the exchange of notes between Secretary Krox and the German foreign office which have greatly pleased the republican gov ernment. It was feared that Japan's apparent preparation for land grab would have forced the hands of Eng land and Russ'a and resu ted in ter ritoriai seizures by all three nations.
 From a source close to Dr. Sun Yat Sen it was learned today that the provisional president of the republic feels that the action of the United States and Germany has, for a time at least, checked these plans, which, if carried out, must have precipitated a territ orial grab.
 The German-American stand for the "open door, is interpreted here es granting a new lease of life to the Chinese republic.

Especial from United Pregs.Y

Lawrence, Mass. Feb. 1O.-Heart- rending scenes were enacted at the railroad station, today, when 150 children of the strike,'' between the ages of and 12 years, left for New York.
 Despite the bitterness it cost them, the fathers and mothers were corr pelled to choose between starvation Tor the little ones and a few months absence among friends and relatives in New York
 The strike committee stood the ex- pense of sending the children to New York. where the Socialist party there will assume responsibility for placing the children with friends and rela- tives until their parents can afford to feed them, or until they can go else where to work at wages that will support them
 Shortly after the children left, two score or more foreigners of the better class of mill operatives left. saying they were going ''where protected corporations really protect their em- pIoyes'' to find work.
