DIAZ WOULD FIGHT

from Nice. They were bronzed by the
southern sun, but pictures of health
when they received the correspondent of

COY. HARMON AS
TRUST BUSTER
Senator Pomerene Eulogizes Service
Rendered When He Was
Attorney General.

Senator Pomerene, OF Ohio. lastNnight
gave out an interview, in which he eulo-
gized Gov. Harmon as the pioneer trust
buster" and reviewed the work done by
the governor when he was Attorney Gen.
eral under President Cleveland. Senator
Pomerene pointed out that Mr.. Harmon
was given only 900 or $4,000 a year
Tor the expense of prosecutions, whereas
Attorney General Wickersham has been
given from $4,000 to s5Oo.OOO.
I'VE cannot judge" said Mr.. Pbme-
rene, ''of the value of the service which
was rendered to the government in the
enforcement Of the Sherman antitrust
law by the number of cases each Attor-
ney General brought. but IL must be
judged rather By the success the depart
ment had by having the law construed
favorably to the government at a time
when the decisions OF the courts were
all against the government And. as the
law was declared in the cases which he
brought and prosecuted. so It has been
sustained ever since, with only one mOdi-
fication, and that was when the United
States Supreme Court in the Standard
Gil and Tobacco cases held that the
words in restraint of trade meant I'M
due or unreasonable restraint of trade.
Before Gov. Harmon was Attorney
General, the decisions of the courts were
all against The government In the con-
OF the law. Gov. Harmon sue
ceeded in having the law declared SO it
could be enforced, and since then every
decision OF the Supreme Court which
involved the meaning OF the statute has
been decided IN favor OF tie government.
and all OF them have been based upon
the pioneer decisions which were the re-
suit of Gov. Harmon's brains and activity
in the Trans Missouri case"

TO Enter Atlantic City.

Of such action b DR.. E Bedloe. of Wash

resort so that travellers may enjoy the
sea breezes rather than ride in trains. In
an interview to-day DR.. Bedloe said:
The success and popularity OF the At

Justifies the proposed deep channel for
Absecon Inlet. When these harbor i'm
provements are completed, they will not
only benefit the tourists. but will save
a great many storm-bound vessels, which

In reply to a query as to the status of
American soldiers sent TO Mexico to make
peace, Diaz replied:

soil on any pretext whatever would be
invaders and would be treated as such
by our people. The Mexicans will settle
their own difficulties"

WILSON'SMANAGERS
REPEAT STATEMENT
Insist that Democratic Candidates
Are in Alliance Against
Their Candidate.

The Woodrow Wilson people reiterated
last night the charge that the Demo-
cratic situation has resolved itself into
a fight between Wilson and the field.
This statement was given out at the Will
son headquarters:
The most significant feature in the
contest for the Democratic Presidential
nomination is that there is only one can
didate who is running in every State Of
the Union. In the Republican race both
Taft and Roosevelt are making some
Kind Of claims for strength in every State,
but Of the Democratic aspirants only
Woodrow Wilson is a nationwide factor
Not counting the favorite sons
Marshall, in Indiana: Baldwin. in Con-
necticut: Martin, in Virginia; Gaynor, in
hut little following outside Of their own
States-there are only four prominent
Democratic candidates. They are Gov.
Wilson, Gov. Harmon, Speaker Clark,
and Chairman Underwood
THE lines are being drawn all over the
country, and the fight for delegates is
on. In Georgia, II is Wilson VS.. Under
wood. in Kansas it is Wilson VS.. Clark,
IN Texas 1t is Wilson VS.. Harmon. In no
State is II Clark VS.. Harmon. Underwood
VS.. Clark. or Harmon VS.. Underwood.
Despite denials of any personal COL
fusion, the daily news reports from over
the country show that the Democratic
situation is Wilson against the field, and
that by a coincidence, to say the least,
the field has been divided territoriaIly
among the other Democratic candidates"

Rebels Near city of Mexico.

Mexico City. March 1o.-Much excite
ment was caused in the capital to-day
by the news that a small force of rebels
had attacked a copra factory only three
miles from the Presidents palace last
night. The attacking force consisted of
twenty-nine rebels, while the factory
was defended by fifteen rurales. The
battle lasted an hour, three rebels and
one rurale being killed and seven rebels
and two rurales wounded. The attack
ing party is believed to be part of the
force Of Gen. Zapata, whose troops are
said to be closing In on the city.

NEED MARINES TO
GUARD LEGATION
Plans Made to Send Men from
War Ships Now in the
Gulf of Mexico.
CALL FROM DIPLOMATS

While no request had been received at
the State Department last night from
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City, ask
ing that marines be sent there to pro-
tect Americans from threatened attack
upon the city by rebels, Il was semi
ofiicially admitted that such a request,
IL made doubtless would be granted. It
was admitted that the American govern
ment could not we'll turn deaf ear, to
a request for marines. IL II should be
made upon an agreement OF the foreign
diplomatic corps in Mexico that such pre-
cautions should be taken.
In case the ministers have decided to
call upon their respective governments
for assistance in the way OF troops, it Is
likely that one OF the cruisers now with
the fleet at Guantanamo will be dis
patched to Vera Cruz for transportation
by rail to the Mexican capital A French
war ship is reported as being headed for
the Mexican coast to view the situation
from the French point OF view, and
Germany and Great Britain have one or
more war ships In the West Indies at the
present time. from which those three
countries gould send marines.
VIII Send Guards.
II Is likely. however, that owing to the
fact that no other powers are represent
ed in the Caribbean by war ships, and
since the United States has a fleet of over
twenty vessels In Cuban waters, this
country would provide the greater por-
ton OF the guard desired. and look after
the interests OF such countries, particu-
larry Spain, which has heavy interests
in Mexico, as may not be represented.
The entire state of Chihuahua is now
under rebel control. according to reports
received at the State Department yes
terday from Consul Edwards at JuareZ
and Consul Letcher at Chihuahua City.
There il not much law or order where
the rebels reign. they apparently having

ing than TO fight for political cause.
