by private messages of the delivery and

the further publication of the two sup
Elementary notes, the latest of which was
sent to Mr.. Lind at Vera Cruz last night.
They speak for themselves. They are the
only comment we have to make
It was not until tonight that any great
number of the Mexican people were aware
of the character of President Wilson $

the proceedings in the American Con-
gress reaching the city through private

Government officials refrained from

NO ESCAPING
ISSUE In CASE

There is, therefore, no escaping the is
sue in this case, which involves correct
construction and application of the seven-
teenth amendment Senator Robinson
called especial attention to the brief of
Hon. Hannis Taylor whom he declared
"one Of the most eminent living authori-
ties on constitutional law and who
strongly supports Mr.. Clayton's right 10
be seated
Senator Robinson reviewed at some
length the word term in law and N
parlance." He said. THE term is des-
ignated after the first senator chosen. In
this case we speak of Senator Johnstons
term as his unexpuired term. II the Lam
guage be given it's ordinary meaning tile
conclusion Is Inevitable that Mr.. CLAYTON
is entitled to his seat because the term
of Senator Johnston is not concerned or
affected by the new amendment and il
governed solely by the old provision"

TO CONFER WITH
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Messrs. Jerome and Kennedy will confer
at Quebec with the attorney general of
the province in the hope that he as the
province chief officer of the crown may
be able to open the legal lock that holds
Thaw in jail.
The three points In which Thaw's law
yers We're successful in their first legal
skirmish were:
/. New York state was denied that
right to be party to the proceedings in
court.
2. Counsel for the state failed in
their efforts to have Thaw arraigned
before magistrate and the commit
ment on which he is held quashed. This
would have released him to the immi-
grafton officers.
3. Judge Glopensky granted the plea
of Thaw's counsel for discontinuance
of the writ of heabeas corpus which
might have brought about his release
today This remedied a strategic blum
der made last week by Thaw's attor-
neys, who apparently did not realize
then that in seeking their clients re-
lease they were playing into the oppo-
sitiOn's hands.

scribed the situation as encouraging
and commented on the fact that he had

mary of the Gamboa note, sufficient
had been received to warrant taking
an encouraging view. Mr. Bryan added
that the Gamboa note was in reply to
the supplementary suggestions made by
Mr., Lind before leaving Mexico City
for Vera Cruz.
