INTERVENTION NOT SOUGHT.
Texas Members Want the Neutrality
Laws Strengthened.

That it expects no Intervention by this
country in Mexico and that he and the
other Texans who had conferences with
President Taft yesterday and today did
not ask for additional troops on the Dor
der. was the statement made by Repre-
sentative Slayden, chairman OF the
House military affairs committee, to a
reporter for The Star this afternoon. He
had just returned from the White House
"A sensational report has been made to
the effect that We asked the President
to send more troops to the Texas border,
said Mr. Slayden. This is absolutely
unfounded. The question Of troops was
never mentioned by US or the President at
either conference. Nor was intervention
suggested. Every one ought to know that
the President himself cannot order inter-
vention in Mexico, that only Congress can
take such action. The subject of our dis
cussion at the White House was the in
adequacy of the neutrality laws. The
neutrality laws at present are archaic and
should be amended. That is the only SUBJ
ject that We took up with the President.
/ have been interested for some time in
the amendment OF these neutrality laws.
Mr. Slayden said that from information
he had received conditions were quieter in
Mexico and on the border.
Leaders of the House today were non-
committal on the Mexican situation. 1t
was said that no action by the committee
on foreign affairs was likely this week
on account of the absence of Chairman
Sulzer of New York, called away by the
death OF his mother In Philadelphia last
night.
Instructions. however, probably will 60
forward today to customs officials on the
border to hold up all shipments of arms
destined to Mexico pending action on the
concurrent resolution.

gun course of activity intending to
show that Elise Crawford, Annie's alleged
victim, died OF q hemorrhage of a section
OF the brain known to surgeons as pons
varoli. and not Of morphine poisoning,
as charged by the prosecution In the
autopsy on the body OF Elise Crawford
attention was directed solely to the stom-
ach. No examination was made of the
brain. This Is expected to present diff
culties for the prosecution.
The prosecution will depend almost en-
tirely upon the report of the chemist that
nearly nine grains of morphine were
found in the stomach OF the dead girl
An insurance policy on Elise Crawford &
life Is said to be involved in the alleged
murder motive.
