Taft Not Inclined to Intervene in
Mexico, But Prepares For Same
if Necessary Democrats Over
Run With Office Seekers.

The Taft administration will diSre-
gard the killing of President MaderO,
and take no further steps toward inter.
vention in Mexico. Mr.. Taft does not
consider it the duty Of the United
States to become involved so long as
Americans are projected; but he has an
nounced his intent to act promptly If
Americans are killed. It is understood
that Secretary of War Stimson will con.
fer with President.elect Wilson on the
Mexican situation. 1t is generally
agreed that one of the first problems to
confront Mr.. Wilson will be the neCeS.
sity of doing something to bring about
the cessation of trouble in that country
and in this he will probably have the
advice of the Taft cabinet.
In official circles there is a feeling of
grave anxiety. More than ten thousand
of our troops are being massed along
the Mexican border so that, if the new
administration should decide upon draS-
tic measures, they will be ready for
immediate service.
Another antitrust suit has been
brought by the Attorney General.
This time, at Chicago, against the

that two unions of electrical workers

Rev. c. L. Schofield Who Dedicated
congregational Church Sewers Con.
nection With Congregational ard
Joins Presbyterian Church


The following item which appeared in
a recent issue of the Advance" one OF
the leading Congregational Church
papers, will be of more than passing
interest to many of our readers:
REV. C. L. Schotield, of New York,
noted as an authority on the Bible, an.
nounced in St. Louis, recently, that,
after thirty,tWo years association with
the Congregational Church, ne has
severed his connection and joined the
Southern Presbyterian Church at Paris,
Texas"
At the time of the founding OF the
Congregational Church in this city,
Rev. Scofield was Superintendent of
Congregational Home Missions for this
district, with headquarters at Paris,
Texas, and it was he who dedicated the
Congregational Church of this city, He
is well remembered by number OF the
early members of that organization,
most of whom have, like Rev. Scofield,
severed their connection with the Con.
gregational Church and joined the
Presbyterian Church.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, March 4.-President
Taft's last day In the White House
was one of his busiest. AS working
day 1t didn't last more than ten
hours, but it was crowded with un
usual events, full of incidents that fall
to the man who sits in the White
House, and crowned with pleasant
ries.
The President shook hands with
several hundred citizens and officials
OF the government, received scores OF
kilograms from friends all over the
world, signed his name to pile after
pile of pictures and letters and held
three receptions.
He quilted the room he has occu.
pied four years In the executive Of
fices with smile and without q
backward glance. and with many q
pleasant recollection of the days he
has spent there. He met his old-time
friends of the Washington diplomatic
corps and the justices of the Supreme
Court In the White House. and. last
of all. he gave the first formal vel.
come in that mansion to the President
elect and Mrs. Wilson.
Last night the President and Mrs
Taft were guests at private dinner
given by Miss Mabel Boardman.
Altogether. as Mr.. Taft told Wis
itors, it was one Of the happiest days
of his life, and the regret he may
have had over things he was unable
to accomplish was more than offset
by the remembrances Of the pleasant
paths he has walked.
William Jennings Bryan was one of
the last distinguished visitors who
saw the President in office.
Colonel Bryan came, unannounced,
late in the afternoon.
Here's something l want to show
you," said the President, as he
grasped his visitor by the arm and led
him to the Cabinet room.
This" continued the President, 'is

Of the Secretary Of State, but he made
no comment

parted. Il have many Republican

cratic party"
Before he left his office for the last
time the President shook hands with
