suaded their state to back them in establishing

The government will hardly be able to reach the

1revinO Said to Joined Rebels.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Two develop
ments in the Mexican situation, each
taken to be loaded with significance
were recorded here. today.
A request for American interven-
ton in Mexico was made to the war
department, when Mayor Kelly and
a delegation of citizens at FL Paso
urgently asked See. Stimson to send
United States troops to Juarez to pre-
serve order and protect Americans.
Secretary Stimson replied that it was
impossible under present conditions.
In dispatch from government of
fetal on the border, but one not in
the diplomatic service, it was report
ed, that Gen. Geronimo Trevino in
Chihuahua had turned to the aid of
the Insurrectos. The Dispatch read

and has agreed to accept Provisional
Presidency of Mexico
This dispatch which speaks of "The
revolutionary forces of Gen. Trevino
is the first indication that the staunch
old federal general, who stood by
Diaz when his reign was lettering and
was later accepted by Madero, has
turned rebel. The state department
WAS inclined to treat the dispatch
as report of a rumor.
A coalition between Gen. Orozeo and
Trevino is looked upon here as fraught
with great consequences. Gen. Ire

COLOMBIA EXTENDS coURTEslEs

Washington, Feb. 23.--Colombia vir-
tually repudiated the action of her
minister, General Ospina, by sending,
today, through American Minister
Dubois at Bogota cordial invitation
to Secretary of State Knox to visit
Colombian shores on his present trip
to the republics on the Caribbean sea-
The invitation was forwarded prompt
-ly to Secretary Knox. who is aboard
the cruiser Washington on his way
south. With him rests the decision
whether he will change his itinerary
to include a call at the port of Car
tegena. This, it is accepted here, he
undoubtedly will do.
The action of the Colombian for
eign office was received here with sat
isfaction. 1t closes a disagreeable in
cident. Minister Ospina, who is said
to have been recalled because of his
letter to the state department, pro
tested against the proposed visit of
Secretary Knox because of the feeling
in Colombia against the United States,
said to be attributable to the acquisi-
ion by this country of the Panama
canal zone
Acting Secretary of State Hunting
ton Wilson did not disguise his appre-
citation of Colombias decision to well
come his chief.

How the Beef Packers
Tried to Kill Competitors.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Frederick Joseph,
formerly vice president of Schwarzs-
child & Sulzberger Co.. and at present
head of the New York Butchers Dress
ed Beef Co, related to the jury in the
packers trial. today, the efforts made
by the defendants and their represen-
tatives to obtain control of competing
concerns. He said that in 1902 he and
Ferdinand Sulzberger entered into q
contract with Attorneys l.. C. Kraut-
hoff and A. II. Veeder. representing
the Armour, the Swift and the Norris
interests, for the sale of a controlling
interest in the Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger CO.. but the attempt by the
Chicago packers to acquire the bust
ness of the independent concern was
unsuccessful.
The government then produced a
contract, made Nov. rs. 1904, by Ed
ward Tilden, president of the National
Packing Co, with Frederick Joseph
and his son, Moses nj. Joseph. for the
purchasing of controlling interest
in the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Co.
Under this agreement 5000 shares of

By the terms of this agreement. Til

with the understanding that they We're
to remain in the employment of

long as possible, but in the event OF
their retirement, they Were to have
positions with the Chicago packers at
the same salary.
The witness testified that he remain
ed with the Schwarzschild & Sulzber-,
ger Co. until 1907. A few weeks later
he entered into a contract with Ed
ward Tilden for the purpose of buying
a majority of the stock of the New
York Butchers Dressed Beef Co. The
control of this concern was acquired
and transferred to Tilden. the witness
said. and later 1t was operated by the

Sails from Key West, Friday, on Cruiser
Washington--Trip of Much Importance
Colombia Extends Cordial In
vitatiOn to Visit Her Shores.
WILL VISIT COLOMBIA.


Key West, Fla. Feb. 2S.-When the
fetal home of Secretary of State p.
G. Knox. for the greater part of the
next two months, weighed anchor OFF
Key West, late today, and turned her
Prov towards the Isthmus, there was
begun diplomatic mission in many
respects unprecedented.
1t would be bold prophet who pre-
tended to forecast the far-reaching
consequences of diplomacy initiated
by the administration and undertaken
by the state department. Apparently
there is no cut and dried program of
accomplishment but it is no secret
that both President Taft and Secre-
tary Knox feel that huge engineer
ing feat that separates North and
South America physically, should, and
will in it's results, bind more closely
the natural ties of the neighboring
republics of the Western hemisphere.
While the itinerary will consist large
~ of formal courtesies, there will
probably be friendly exchanges of po-
litical significance. The only discord-
ant note awakened thus far by the
announcement of the secretarys pur-
pose was struck by the Colombian
,Ininister at Washington, whose ac-
ton has since been repudiated by his
government.
The first stopping place of Secre-
tary Knox will be Colon, from which
he will proceed to Panama. In the

ambiguous wording of the last SEN
tence of the dispatch regarding the
Provisional Presidency was interpret

ways. The majority said it was in

rather than Orozoco had agreed to ac-
cept the Provisional Presidency.
Mayor Kelly of Ell Paso, Winchester
Cody, an Ell Paso banker and three
other citizens Of that place told Sew
Stimsen that Juarez with $4,000 popu-
lation linked to FL Paso by an inter-
national bridge and trolley lines was
virtually d part of FL Paso. Nightly
robberies and assaults in JuareZ, or
which Americans were the victims,
their business houses also being loot
ed, had become intolerable. He asked
that soldiers be sent to patrol the city
until the Mexican government could
control the situation. BY the with
drawal of Madero troops, the mayor
said Juarez had been left .defenceless.
Secretary Stimson pointed out that
United States troops could not be sent
into foreign territory under the present
situation and said that a departure
from the governments present policy
would not be warranted so long as life

of Folke E. Brandt, Mortimer L. Chiff's
former valet, whose 30-year, first-degree

cation by the grand jury.

agreed that the indictment was Illegal,
that the conviction was Illegal and that
being true that the sentence was lille
gal," said the district attorney. we
feel, however. that the real serious ques-
ton of law that should be passed upon
by the highest court of the state as to
whether the writ of habeas corpus is a
proper remedy. 1t Is clearly the duty OF
the district attorney, and the attorney
general agrees with me, to defend the
judgements of the court OF general ses-
sions If they can be defended. We feel.
therefore, that it is the duty Of the state
to appeal from this order so that the
highest court of the state shall pass upon
this question Of law at issue
