Released.

Washington, March /. - President
Taft directed the reeiase of all Mexs-
eaa prisoners held on the border be-
cause Of completely in revolutionary
activities in violation of the neutrality

Their release was largely due to the
fact that the recent events in Mexico

rurales in Chihuahua and Sonora un'
der his brothers administration, has

a basis for a permanent peace in Mex
ico"
In the south, according to Ambassa'

Promptly RepassesG4iauor Bill by Vote
of So te 21.
Washington, March l-One OF the
last big official acts of President Taft
has been the planting of himself firm
ly upon the constitution in defiance OF
the temperance sentiment of the coun-
try.
That is what he did when he vetoed
the Webb bill prohibiting the ship
ment of liquor from a wet into dry
state when intended for use in viola
ton of law.
The presidents veto was promptly
overridden by the senate by a vote OF
63 to 21. 1t is expected that the house
will follow the lead of the senate and
that the bill will be put on the statute
books over the presidents official OBJ
jectien.
President Taft based his veto en-
tirely on what he regards as the un-
constitutionality of the law.

Committees Regulations Would Wipe
Out InterIockins Bank Directorates
and Prevent Consolidation.
Washington, March l. - The Pujo
committees report and two bills en-
boding most of it's radical and COM
prehensive recommendations were In
troduced in the house.
The bills if enacted into law Will
not only revolutionize the great bank
ing systems of this country, but Will
work far reaching changes in the man
agement of the New York stock ex-
change and clearing houses through
the United States.
The committee accepted all of the
suggestions made by Samuel Unter-
myer, it's counsel. The committee says
it has found the existence of money
trust as defined under the resolution
which authorized the investigation.
The money power is pyramided on J.
P. Morgan & Co. and allied interests
in New York, through groups OF bank
.ers in Boston, Philadelphia and Chi
cago.
To curtail this power the commit
tee presents a long list of recommen-
dations which, if accepted by con-
gress, will wipe out of existence Inter
locking bank directorates and inter-
locking stockholdings among banks
and will prevent the consolidation OF
two or more. national banks, except
0f "a nfrnllAr
of the currency.
The recommendations also strike at
,,he present fiscal relations between
great banking houses like j. r. Nor
gan 4! Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and
interstate corporations. Fiscal agree
ments such as J. P. Morgan & 90.
now have with the New York Central
and the New York. New Haven &
Hartford, are prohibited.
The security issues OF interstate
railroads are placed under the super
vision of the interstate commerce
commission. and in the disposal OF
the securities of these corporaIlons
connective bidding is to be invited
az in the sale of state or munleipal
bonds. The commattee seeks to impose
public reports on j. P. Morgan q 20.
and other private bankers.
A limitation is recommended upon
the proportion of it's capital and sur
MUS which a national bank may In
vest in state, municipal and Corporate
bonds, and national banks are ~
hibited from engaging IN uEdc-ss
securities.
The stock exchange is to be incor-
porated and stringent regulations COM
piled with, or it will be denied the use
of the mails and the use of the tele-
graph wires in interstate commerce.
Also clearing house associations are
to be subjected to enforced incorporar
tion
The bills introduced include all the
committees recommendations AFFECT
ing the stock exchange and the clear
ing house association and such OF the
recommendations concerning money
and credit concentration as may be
carried into effect through legislation
governing national banks. Bills cover
ing the rest of the radical program Oh
the committee will be drafted later.
All seven of the Democratic men,
bers Of the committee signed the re-
port. Two Of the four Republicans
fled minority reports.

Messenger Says Slayer Paid
Alfred Henry Lewis.
TELLS OF $4,000 FUND
Horace Hoffman Had No Suspicion
That Cash Was Paid For Purpose
of Bribery.

Albany, N. Y, March 1.-Horace A.
Hoffman, who said he had been in the
employ of Harry K. Thaw as mes
senger," told Governor Suffers COM
mittee of inquiry his version OF the
latest attempt to liberate Harry K.
Thaw from Matteawan.
Hoffman testified that on Nov. 19,
1912, Thaw gave him an envelope con-
tanning Consolidated Gas stock and
$4,000 in cash to be delivered to Jonn
Nicholson Anhut, a lawyer, at his Office
in Wall street.
Hoffman corroborated Anhut's tes.
timony regarding the contingent re-
tainer" of $4,000. The witness said
that at the request of Thaw he re.
ceived two receipts from Anhut, both
of which he had photographed. On
Jan. last Anhut returned 100 shares
of the stock, and Hoffman sold them
for nearly $14,000," under Thaws di.
rection.
Hoffman testified that the "certif-
Gates of gas stock were lndorsed In
blank by Mrs. Carnegie. a sister OF
Thaw.''
Hoffman told of having carried mes.
sages to Alfred Henry Lewis. of New
York. for Thaw and of having seen
Lewis at Matteawan. He said he heard
Lewis and ThaW talking about writ
ing some stuff-some things Tnaw
thought the people ought to know
Was Mr.. Lewis IN the employ of
Mr.. Thaw?" asked the committees s
lawyer.

The witness admitted having paid
money to Lewis for Thaw, the amount
of which he declined to state. II sup

ing he was going to do" added Hoff.
man, who said he also had paid Lewis
some expense money"
The witness did not know how Thaw
obtained the money and stock which
were given to Anhut. He said it was
not customary for Thaw to have large
amounts of money in his possession.
Money for Thaw, he said, usually
came to him by draft from Pittsburgh.
The witness testified that he never
heard Governor Suffers name used
in connection with the efforts to re-
lease Thaw.
Hoffman said he had no knowl-
edge. intimation or suspicion" that
the $4,000 paid to Anhut, twas to be
used for the purpose of bribery" Il
surmised it recently" he added.
District Attorney Whitman in New
York city considered the advisability
of calling Harry X. Thaw to testify
before grand jury that may be drawn
to investigate charges and counter
charges of bribery in connection with
an attempt to release him from Mat
teawan State Hospital for the Crimi-
nal Insane.
The prosecutor believes that Thaw
holds the key to the complicated sit
uation presented by the mass of evi-
dence obtained by Governor Sulzer' s
committee.
While this committee has expressed
doubts of it's power to compel Thaw's
appearance a grand jury would have
authority to examine him in criminal
proceedings.

John [. s Trainer
Found in Boz Car

NTW YORK, May 21-Edward Con-
galton, rs years old, who says he was
at one time head athletic trainer for
the New York Athletic Club, once
trained John l.. Sullivan, and for a
time was manager of Kid Lavigne,
is in New York today looking for
someone who knew him in the old
days to aid him, after having been
taken starving from locked freight
car in the Laekawanna freight yards
in Hoboken yesterday.
Congalton said he crawled into the
car in Buffalo on Sunday, fell asleep
and was unable TO make himself
heard. He was too weak to give an
alarm when the train finally stopped
and was in a state of collapse when
workmen opened the car and found
him. Railroad men revived and cared
for him and then supplied money for
him to come to New York.
