WILSON CLASSES HUERTA
WITH THE INSURGENTS
u. S. to Block All Shipments of Arms
in Mexico-Wiit Keep Strict
Neutrality.

Washington, July IS. - President
Mexico &c restore peace and order to
that distracted country.
information obtained Wednesday is
to the effect that the president soon
will appoint commissioners to pro-
coed to the neighboring republic for
the purpose of Inducing President
Hucrta and General Carranza, the lead
err of the revoiutionists, to agree to
hold a special election.
This election is to be absolutely fair
and untrammeled. The result is to be
accepted by all factions, which are to
agree in advance that they will stand
by the man chosen by the people.
Following a conference with law
makers President Wilson has decided
that no faction in the present Mexican
revolution shall obtain arms or am.
munition from the United States and
that neutrality must be observed.
This was the Interpretation of the
neutrality laws decided upon after
conferences with Senator Bacon and
Representative Flood, chalrmen or the
two congressional committees on for
eign relations, at the White House.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, the days
developments mean that the Huerta
administration will be deprived of the
privilege previously given the MaderC
government, and the United States
viii treat all sides alike in the pres
ont dispute.
The situation was precipitated by
the recent complaints of the Constitu-
tionalists and their sympathizers in
this country that if the United States
did not virtually assist the Huerta
government by selling il munitions of
war a termination of hostilities would
be possible.

MacvEAGH DUBBED MUGWUMP
lobbyist Retraets His Statements Rel
Ative to Ex-Congressman Watson's
Pay-Had His Dates Very
Much Mixed Up.

Washington, July 26.-The senate
senate was told Thursday by Martin
n. Mulhall details of the relations
which he claimed to have established
with Representative James T. McDer-
mott Of the Fourth Illinois district
and l. H McMichaels, who, according
TO MuIhall's testimony, was Mr.. Nc
Dermotts confidential secretary while
occupying other positions on the rolls
OF the house OF representatives.. That
AcDermott frequently borrowed
money. but never repaid, and that Nc
Dermott turned over to him letters
from labor leaders were among the
things testified to by Mulhall.
MuIhan tolo the committee that he,
James A. Emery and others mad a Sc
cret room" In the basement Of the
house side of the capitol where they
conferred and made long distance tele-
phone calls. He said the room had
been furnished by Representative Nc
Dermott
4 first got acquainted with Nc
Michaels when l came back from Nc
DeTmitt's district in September, 1903"
said Mulhall in reply to questions from
members of the committee. Il went
10 McDermott's district to find out
what his standing was. had met Nc
Dermott in January, 1909, when I in
yited him to be present at the tariff
convention in Indianapolis. Under
my instructions I was to extend the
anvitatiOn to all members of congress.
f'McDermott on the occasion of our
first meeting inquired who was at the
head OF the organization getting up
the convention, and when | told him
he used uncouth language. l found
him one Of the toughest men in poll
tics. He used abusive language, espe-
cially In reference to President Taft"
Nearly five hundred letters of Mar
tin MulhalTs were put into the record
during Wednesday. Mulhall was on
the stand only about an hour after the
noon recess, but in spite of the short
session, the committee made rapid
progress and members hoped to get
through with the correspondence some
time Friday.
The name of former Secretary of the
Treasury MaCVeagh was brought into
the hearing when a letter from former
Representative Watson of Indiana to
Mulhan, dated September Is, 1909, was
introduced. Watson, evidently trying
to place Secretary Schwedtman of the
manufacturers association on the tar
III board. wrote that President Taft
was appointing only men recommend
ed by MacVeagh.
IF he were a Republican we might
reach him" wrote Watson of Mac
Veagh, but he is mugwump, and
j am not hopeful of final success !;
for / will swear never on earth
knew what TO do with a mugwump.

him"
Col. Martin NJ. Mulhall retracted the
most serious charge he had made be.
fore the senate lobby investigating
committee Tuesday. He had sworn
that former Representative J, E, Wat
son of Indiana was employed by pri,
vate interests in 1909 while a member
of the house to work for a tariff com
mission bill In retracting, he assert,
ed that Watson was not a member of
the house at the time.
