FL Diaro Attacks U. S.

Mexico City, Aug. 29.-"John Lind
thought to come to see and to con-
quer," according to Ell Diario today,
but Federico Gamboa was able to
counter and to dominate him. Yin the
first encounter the colossus of the
north was turned from it's course dis
concerted In the second encounter
it abandoned the field.
John Lind has come to Mexico to
assure the election of Victoriano HUI
erta. All ambitions, all rancor and
all intrigues have dissolved in front
of the diplomatic triumph which we
have gained. There. is not an hon
est Mexican soul who will not vote
for Huerta because the President of
the United States attempts foolishy
to exclude him from the contest.
''As for the revolutionists candi-

son that they appear as the candi-
dates of the American White House. .
The article concludes by likening
Federico Gamboa to David, conquer.

Wilson's special envoy, John Lind had
reconsidered his plans to go to Mex

would take an early train today for
Mexico City to resume negotiations
with the Hnerta government.
Early today no word has been re
ceiyed from Mr. Lind Indicating any
change in his plans. Secretary OF

had an early conference and awaited
further dispatches.

THAW'S CHAUFFEUR.
GIVEN FREEDOM ON
A $500 BAIL
LAWYERS NOW EXPECT BUT LIT
TIE ACTIVITY IN CASE AGAINST
HARRY FOR NEXT SEVERAL
WEEKS.

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 29.-"Gen-
tleman Roger" Thompson, the New
York chauffeur who whirled Harry
X. Thaw away from Matteawan in an
automobile, walked the streets of
Sherbrooke today a free man. Police
Magistrate Mulvera admitted him to
$500 bail after he had appeared for
trial charged with aiding Thaw, a
lunatic, and thersf an undesirable
to enter Canada.
F. Campbell for the immigration de-
partment announced to the court he
wished to press the first charge of
Thompson having entered Canada by
stealth. Thompson's ,ounsel, Louis
st. Laurent acting with Thaw's coun-
sci, objected to proceedings on this
charge and at their request the ad-
journment was granted.
William Travers Jerome, District
Attorney Conger, of Duchess County,
Deputy Attorney General Franklin
Kennedy and others here trying to
get Thaw back to Matteawan were
in court The little court room was
packed.
With Thaw il Jail for an indefinite
period probably till the session of the
Kings bench in October, and the
Thompson case postponed, indications
were today that there had set in a
decided quiet in matters pertaining
to Stanford Whites slayer.
Mr. Jerome's unproductive visit to
Quebec, where he had hoped to see
the premier and attorney general,
brought the case back to where it
was when Thaw was first commit
ted to the Sherbrooke jail. Messrs
Jerome and Kennedy were still here
today, but what move, if any, New
York would make next they would not
say.
Thompson's bail was supplied by
Thaw's family. They have done all
in their power to ease his position
following his yelled threat to confess
and reveal who was behind the plot
that resulted in ThaW's liberation.

statement by Gen. Jesus Carranza,
acting head of the constitutionalists
at their provisional capital. Piedras
Negras, in the absence of his brother
General Carranza, who is fighting at

General Carranza predicted, Ihow-
ever that war would continue because
Huerta would be unable to comply
with Americas suggestions. He as
serted that Huerta would have to be
driven QUITO the country before
peace could be restored.
On the whole, the message of the
President and the stand he takes in
regard to our country is satisfactory
to constitutionalists," the statement
declared, but the principal point the
best thing for Mexico is his continu-
ed refusal to recognize Huerta With
out such recognition by the United
States, Huerta has no credit and his
administration must fall in a short
time. There is no other possible out
come.
With regard to holding the lead
ers on both sides responsible for dam
age to the persons and property of
foreigners, we have from the begin
ming of the revolution tried to do
this and We shall continue to do so.

war, there should be any violation of
the decree of the first chief (Gov.
Carranza), with regard to this mat
ter we shall do everything ir our
power to punish those responsible and
indemnify those suffering losses"
