trouble, though 1t required the per- suasive efforts of half dozen of the guards to get him to leave the White House. He finally consented to leave the grounds with the officers when told that they would take him to the German embassy. He was put into a patrol wagon at the rear of the White House grounds without fur ther protestations.
 Except for the ushers at the main portico and the policemen whom they summoned, no one at the White House was aware of the strangers intrusion.
 He was quiet and apparently coI- lected and talked coherently to of- f1cials about his desire to see the president and how he had twice un- successfully attempted to get the letter of introduction. He absolute ly refused to say what he wanted to talk to the president about.
 Sergeant Williams reported his be- lief that the man was deranged. He was taken to the First Precinct sta- tion and later removed to the Wasl- fngton Asylum for observation. White House officials were reluctant to give details concerning the matter because 1t has been their experience that publication of such attempts by cranks usually inspires others of the same calibre to like actions Winters was classed at the asylum as harm less'
 At the German embassy, attaches said that no man answering Winters description or giving that name had been there so far as it was known.

Washington, April 13.-A man who gave his name as Michael Winters was arrested at the White House early to- day after he had twice succeeded in forcing his way into the private part of the executive mansion. When searched an ugly-looking clasp knife was found in his pocket. It is the first time in years that an unwelcome visitor has succeeded in gaining en- trance to the presidents home. The man claimed to be a German subject and said he had applied unsuccess- fully to Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, for a letter of introduction to Taft. When he reach ed the White House he ran swiftly up the steps, dashed past the door, keeper and for moment was lost in frantfcally searching ushers.
 A few minutes after being elected, the man repeated the performance and was taken into custody.
 Winters gave his residence as Balti- more. To officers he protested that he intended no harm to the presi- dent.
 Winters said he was 36 years old and unmarried. He is tall, mus cular man, apparently laborer, though he said he had no occupa- tion. He was poorly dressed. The clasp knife had a long blade with a patent guard to prevent the blame folding back on the hand in case it were used as weapon.
 Sergeant Williams, in charge of the police at the White House, took the man into custody without any

MEXICO NOW FACES BIG
 R. R. STRIKE
Ferment In Hand to South of Us With Outcome
 Problematical

Mexico City, April 13-with a strike on the National Railway certain, which means the tieing up of nearly all railroad lines in Mexico, and Gen eral Orozco refusing to recognize Marion Letcher as the United States consul at Chihuahua, together with serious developments within Mexico City, Americans here today are again fearing for their safety.
 President Madero has issued an or der forbidding Americans to bring any more arms into the capital, saying that he considers the arming of for eigners dangerous to Mexicans. Of the 1000 Krag-Jorgensen rifles ship ped here, very few have been taken out by Americans, owing to the pro- hibitive price at which they are held, and the great mass of foreigners are entirely unarmed. They charge that the Spanish papers here are uniform N against them and through publish cd articles are endeavoring to start fighting. Should the United States have to take any action toward med iation, the Americans believe there would be an uprising against them. Talk of intervention has been revived and rumors were spread that an in- Sasion may be expected April 15.

PLOT TO ASSASSINATE
 PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
Apparently Authenticated 25 Arrests Have Been
 Made

New York, April 1s-A plot to as- sassinate President Madero of Mexico, and to dynamite the public buildings, has been discovered, according to ad- vices received here today by financial interests with connections in Mexico City.
 The police the advices say, have taken every precaution to keep the matter secret, but 25 arrests have al- ready been made and there is pos sibility that men prominent in the Diaz regime may be involved. The governor of the City of Mexico as- serts that the plot is widespread, and that the authorities have no idea how far the trial may lead. The most important man arrested was Gonzales Oteiza, a member of a well known Toluca family.
 The advices explain that the strict censorship maintained in Mexico City prevents the sending of details by telegraph.

DIR, NESBITT DENIES HAVING RECEIVED
 THUNDER OF BANK Alleged Canadian Bank
 Looter Crestfallen In Chicago Cell
 WILL FIGHT ExTRADITI0N Invented Device By Utility of Which He Hoped to
 Pay Back Depositors
WILL FIGHT EXTRADITION

Chicago, April 13-Denouncing his arrest as part of a criminal con spiracy worked out against him by his enemies in Toronto and denying that he profited in any way by the failure of the Farmers Bank of Tor onto, of which he was president, Will liam Beattie Nesbitt, through his at torney, W. K. Pattison. today de- clared he would fight extradition. He will put forth every effort to pre- vent being taken back to the Cana dian capital
 quarter of a million dollars, Nesbitr, according to counsel employed by him today, could not have profited by the banks cash. His sole Offense un- der the banking law of the Dominion was technical violation in making a report to the government.
 "Dr. Nesbitt was the innocent vic- tim of the wrongdoing of others whom he trusted said Pattison. today. Some of these men have already been incarcerated Nesbitt was but the f1gurehead in the bank. He knew nothing of its finances and as presi- dent simply certified the reports to the government. The reports were made out by other officials. Nesbitt
 
 him. He fled because he could not stand the shame of arrest and trial"
 In the two years that he has been a fugitive, Nesbitt has wandered all over the United States. He declared that he did not take a dollar of the banks money for himself, but held himself responsible for the loss to depositors and stockholders because of his neglect in placing confidence in others. Today, as he sat in a cell in the county jail, he toyed with miniature model of an invention which he says was to re-establish him in the esteem of his fellow-Canadians. and which would have enableds him to make good all of the banks losses. This invention is a wheat shocker for which he had, through a third person, made application for patent.
 My pIans to make restitution have been destroyed just as I thought they would be realized" he said to the jailer today, as he showed his model. "I got the idea for this as I wandered through the ranches of Wyoming. It will be Godsend to farmers and it would have been the means of repay ing those whom my short-sightedness wronged.''
 Nesbitt was very much downcast over his arrest. He refused to see anyone. His lawyers stated that they would take no legal action in his be- half until they learned what steps the Dominion government contemplat- ed.

RILEYs JOIN COTTON UNION.
Man and Wife Whose Refusal to Join
Caused Great Lockout Surrender.

New York, Jan. pa special cable
dispatch to The Sun from Manchester,
England, says that Joe Riley and his
wife, over whose refusal to Join the To-
cal union of the cotton weavers at Ac-
crington the recent trouble in the cotton
trade started, have found it impossible
to secure employment and have given up.
In despair they have applied for mem
bership in the union. The Rileys were
forced to leave the mill where they
had been working since the settlement
of the trouble as they had been threat
cred with bodily injury. Tuesday they
Welded TO force of circumstances and
decided to take out membership cards.
Margaret Bury, the non-unionist at
Great Harwood, who also refused to be-
come a unionist, was still suffering per-
secution at last accounts, but was per-
sistent in her refusal to yield.
The agreement between the masters
and operatives recently reached practi-
cally provided that the question of nom
unionism should be left open for six
months. Two of the three persons in
volved in the trouble have been cap
tured by the unionists in less than a
week.
