INVASION OF MEXICO.

Mir. w. Randolph Hearst appears tol be doing his best to stir up war with Mexico. Having failed to bring about intervention directly. he is now tgitating the more or less absurd story about Japanese negotiations for a naval base on Magdalena bay. with purpose to accomplish indirectly the same object by creating the belief that the Monroe doctrine will be vio- lated.
 No credit is attached tO the Japan ese story in Washington. but if any such violation has been contemplated it will not escape the vigilance of the state department.
 There are important interests In this country that would welcome the invasion of Mexico by an American army. The Hearst estate, for exam i, .... -.aWpS, ap enuI n'0u' --'~ ~r lan6 investments in mines and oil lands owned in this country. These inter ests are entitled to consideration. bu they can not by themselves be per mitted to drag the United States into costly war Nothing short of a definite violation of the Monroe doc Urine or massacre of American ciu zeus would justify invasion. In fact Intervention would of a certainty pre- clpitate a massacre of Americans.
 Mir. Taft is at the helm and he will not be stampeded. He may be trusted to pursue the wise course. which is of course, to let the Mexicans settle their own disputes and quarrels as best they may. A military occupation of the neighborlng republic would cost at the lowest figure sl.OOO,O 100000 and could not be concluded under severa years. Mexico covers vast territory with very inadequate means of com municatlon. To hold and pacify the country would require the establish ment of garrisons for every town and settlement and would besides create a heritage of hatred that would rankle for a century. In a word, Mexico would have to be held as a conquered country. and our occupation of the republic. would. besides. be bitterly resented by all the Latin republics of

More than four hundred pupils of several

"liIlam III. Francis, builder of Port

ing since last Friday. The parents of the

her, but they have been unable 10 get any
clew as TO her whereabouts
Mr.. Francis, who lives at No. S2 WiIlett
avenue Is almost heartbroken over the dis
appearance OF his daughter. He spent
| yesterday searching around White Plains,
as 1t was reported that the girl had been
seen walking with young man In that
town on Saturday last. Mr.. Francis S
search was unsuccessful.
Mrs. Francis sent her daughter 10 Will
lam Reif's grocery store. which Is only, a
few doors from her home. last Friday, to
ouy some bread. The girl purchased two
loaves OF bread and left the store, but did
not return TO her home. Miss Francis was
high school pupil, and yesterday her dis
appearance was announced in all the
schools Of Rye and Port Chester.
Mr.. Francis told the police that his
daughter had no reason to run away from
home, as her home life was most pleasant.
Recently she had sold some tickets for
an entertainment given by the Delta Alpha
class OF the North Baptist Church, of Port
Chester, and she complained on several oc-
casions that she could not make collections.
Whether worry over her failure 10 get the
money for the tickets has affected her

that II was such a small matter that he
does not think it would cause her to run

TO CORRECT THE LEVY LAW
Loomis Introduces Bill Drawn
by Democratic Colleagues.
INV Telegraph to Tho Tribune

GBy Telegraph to The Tribune
Albany. Feb. Ex-senator LoOmis to-day
introduced the bill which recent confer
ence of Democratic Senators agreed should
be drawn TO correct mistakes in the Levy
election law Of last year. The measure was
drafted by a subcommittee, composed or
Senator's LOOMS, O'Brien. Long, Roosevelt
and McClclland. u had been intended to
submit the completed measure to the con-
ference. but on the suggestion of Senator
Wagner, the majority leader. Senator
Ioomis to-day introduced it without do
ing SO.
The bill of com Sc cuts out the provision
Of the Levy law requiring personal regis
tration in country districts, which was de-
clared unconstitutional, but requires that,
in case OF a man not registering personally
who did not vote the year before, an am
davit must accompany his application 20
register, signed by two qualified electors.
TO lessen the expense OF the Levy law II
Is proposed that the number of days OF
registration in the country districts be re-
duced from four to two, and that the num-
ber OF election commissioners In all coun-
ties outside OF New York City be limited TO
two. and that the expenditures for salaries
and clerk hire shall not exceed certain
specified amounts The bill also provides
for the limiting Of the number of employees
who may be engaged by the State Superin-
tendent of Elections and the amount OF sal
aries paid, and that part Of the election law
providing for printing not less than nifty
times as many copies OF the lists OF regis
tered voters as there are election districts IS
mada TO read twenty-five times as many
copies, and no more
The measure repeals that part Of tho cleo
tion law, which prohibits a candidates name
appearing on the ballot more than once
and re-enacts the pre-eXisting provisions re-
garding the marking Of the ballot. The
forging of name to a nominating petition
Is declared to be a felony, the number Of
signatures required for an independent
nomination is greatly reduced and an or
ganization of citizens for the election Of
city officers is declared not to be a political
party. so as 10 bar the members Of such
an organization from enrolling with and
acting as members of a party.
1T is believed by the proponents Of this
measure" Senator Loomis said to-day, that
II will remove all just cause for complaint
especially In the upstate districts, because
Of the increased expenditures called for by
the law Of last year. In framing the bill
consideration has been given to suggestions
from Republican members Of the Senate,
and It is hoped that they will join in the
effort to remedy such defects as have been
disclosed in the operation of the law Con
sideration has also been given to the sus-
gestions Of the Citizens Union, Of New York
City. and although some Of these sugges-
tions have not been acceded to, and most
Of the proposed amendments affect pri-
marily that part Of the state which lies
outside Of the metropolitan district, it Is
believed, none the less, that this measure
ought to command the support Of all friends
Of good government"
