SEPTEMBER MORN
AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT.
New Orleans Dealer Ar
rested for Displaying Pic
ture in His Window


New Orleans. August "a month old
controversy over whether the painting
September Morn is art or indecency,
came to a climax today when an art
dealer was arrested for displaying the
picture in his window, Postmaster Leon
hardt said he had been instructed by the
postoffice department to bar productions
of the painting from the mails and a
statement in defense of the printing was
drawn from the New Orleans Brush and
Pencil club.
A few weeks ago the Marx. Art COM
pany placed reproduction of the paint
ing in a show window. The police ordered
it removed Then postal cards bearing
reproduction of the demure nude maiden
shivering in the chilly waters of brook,
began to appear at the postoffice. Post
master Leonahardt sent one of them 10
the department at Washington. While
this question was pending the Marx COM
pany again displayed the picture. It was
ordered removed by the police but the
order went unheeded. Today Harole-NlarX
was arrested charged with exhibiting in
decent pictures and the postmaster got
orders to send all September Morn ef-
forts to the dead letter office Then
came the art clubs denunciation of both
the police and the postoffice department.

the Mexican minister at Washington,
asked for his passports as soon as the
resolution was made known to him and
withdrew from Washington, but left the
archives of his embassy in charge of his
assistant. The United States minister to
Mexico shortly afterward Withdrew from
the Mexican capitol but left his office
and records in charge of his secretary
SO while diplomatic relations were sus-
pended, the two nations were not at war.
In the summer of 1S45 the republic OF
Texas formally acceded to the annexation
scheme of the United. States, and at once
became a state of the union. Thereupon
Mr. Polk ordered the army under Gem
eral Taylor TO occupy Point Isabel, be-
tween the two rivers, but to avoid all acts
of hostility toward Mexico, unless at
tackled or in case the Mexican army
crossed the Rio Grande.
At the same time Mr.. Polk sent Mr..
Sldell of Louisiana as special envoy
to Mexico, fully empowered to discuss and
settle by treaty all the questions OF dis
pute between the two countries. General
Peredes had shortly before become the
acting President of Mexico in a very un-
constitutional manner; but this the United
States was willing to waive for the sake
of peace, and to that end dispatched Mr..
Slidell on that special mission.
General Peredes refused to receive Mr..
Sliden as a special envoy of the Presi7
dent of the United States. or in any other
capacity unless the United States army
was at once withdrawn to the eastern
bank of the Nueces river. Such demand
being wholly inadmissib1e, was refused
Mr. Slidell returned to his own countHi
after his fruitless attempt to negotiate
with the Mexican authorities.

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF
IN THE MEXICAN IMBROGLIO
Special Envoy Rsed
owed n Rapid

In 1S45 President Polk sent Mr.. Slidell as
pose of trying to work out some scheme
OF peace for that troubled country. -Presi-
dent Paredes of Mexico declined to re-
ceive Mr.. Slidell as envoy, and the war
between the United States and Mexico fol-
lowed.
In 1913 President Wilson sends Mr.. Lind
as his special envoy with the same peace
fuI mission in view and the intimations
are that he will receive the same treat
ment as did Mr.. Slideil. I trust, however
that history will not repeat itself any fur
ther.
The internal condition of Mexico during
the 10 years preceding the wear 1S46 were
as chaotic as they have been during the
last decade.
After Texas drove the Mexican armies
across the Rio Grande and proclaimed her
independence, she claimed that river as
her western boundary. Mexico recognized
the independence of Texas as did all
the leading nations of the world, but con-
tended that her western boundary was the
Nueces river about 100 miles eastward
of the Rio Grande. In March, 1915, the
Congress of the United States passed a
joint resolution annexing the republic of
Texas to the United States as SOW
ereign state of the union, which resolu-
tion was approved by Mr.. Tyler, then
President. M
few days afterward Mr.. Polk was in
augurated as President. General Almonte,

DETROIT CARMEN
THREATEN STRIKE

Detroit. August 9.-Onfieers of the Detroit
Street Car Mems union tonight predicted
that the city tomorrow would be without
street ear service. As hundreds of motor
men and conductors poured into a local
hall to attend mass meeting which was
expected to last until Sunday morning, it
was stated that no reply had been received
from the Detroit United Railways in re-
sponse to the demand of the companys
employees for a higher wage scale and
shorter hours
One of the so-called strike leaders de-
elared that a secret conference of carmen
today showed that the sentiment of the
employees was distinctly against spending
more time in attempting to arbitrate their
differences with their employers.
Several addresses were made at the
mass meeting by members of the union.
Because many carmen would not eomplee
their days work until midnight, 1t was
decided to wait until they reached the hall
before bringing the issue to a vote.

The Western Federation of Miners Of

would return to bring about anything
like normal conditions. They said the
ranks of the strikers were remaining

the cars in the mines and without whom
no rock can be brought to the shafts for
hoisting, are standing with the fedora

About the same time General Arista, in
command of the Mexican army at Mata-
moras, crossed the Rio Grande, surprised
and captured Captain Tardee and his
squadron of Dragons and committed other
acts of hostility. General Taylor had built
and garrisoned fort now called Fort
Brown, opposite Matamoras but his main
army was at Point Isabel about So miles
to the south. $.
Immediately after the capture of the
dragons by General Arista he demanded
the surrender of the American fort. This
being refused he began. a bombardment
the first effect of which was the killing Of
its commander, Colonel Brown Hearing
of this attack, General Taylor put his
army in motion to rescue the garrison and
General Arista crossed the Rio Grande in
force to oppose Taylor's movement
The two armies met at Palo Alto and
Resaca de la Palma in two sharp en-
gagements in both of which the American
army. under TAYLOR. although greatly out
numbered. was Victorious. After the last
fight General Taylor moved rapidly to
Fort Brown and prepared to cross into
Matamoras.
Thus was the war with Mexico begun by
the acts of Mexico, first by refusing to re-
eeive Mr.. Slidell a special envoy, and
second by crossing military force into
Texas, then become United States terri
tory. and killing, woundng anticipating
