Lane Wilson, American ambassador to
Mexico, announced his emphatic op-
position to several plans under con-
sideration by the state department for
bringing about peace in the troubled
Mexican republic.
Supplementing statements he made
earlier in the day, disapproving the
suggestions of American mediati tion or
the appointments of tripartite COM
mission. Mr.. Wilson gave his reasons
tonight why he considered the plan for
a tripartite commission not feasible
one.
If we are to consider such a plan,
we may as we'll abandon the Monroe
doctrine entirely" he said THE Mon
roe doctrine pledges the United States
to take care of the interests of Ameri-
foreign country. Consequently, under
the Monroe doctrine we can not at
tempt to settle Mexicos affairs through
the services OF such a body as the pro-
posed tripartite commission, since 1t
involves calling in outside governments
to help
Mr.. Wilson was reticent when ques-
toned as to his policies on American
Intervention and recognition Of Mexico
by the United States. These views, he
said, he felt he must reserve for his
conference with President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan.
IT have been blamed for great
DEAL" the ambassador commented as
he discussed his administration in
Mexico City.
On everything he has done he stands
pat" however, he said as he hurried
on to Washington, taking a train late
tonight; and he added that he believed
he would be retained In his position
and sent back to Mexico.

CRIES FOR MERCY
"I'm Just About Broken
Down." He Admits Upon
Displaying Confusion
in Answers

WASHINGTON, July 25.-with only
about 1000 more of Martin Nj. Muihall's
letters to read into the record, the
senate lobby investigating committee
adjourned today until Monday, expect
ing to wind up the correspondence OF
thu lobbyist
Toward the close of the days ses-
sion Mulhall showed signs of the strain
he has been under. He became con-
fused during the reading of one letter.
and when Senator Walsh suggested
that he needed a rest, he exclaimed:
I'm just about broken down. For
Gods sake, do have mercy IL you can.
/ don't want to say I'm breaking down.
but I don't want to answer questions
II you'll let me co.
Senator Overman announced today
that the attorneys for the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers and tbs
American Federation of Labor would
be allowed to question the witness
through the committee, provided they
submit questions "a hours beforehand
and receive the committees approval.
Senator Nelson had a talk with the
democratic members before the de-
cision was announced and 1t Is known
that he protested vigorously against
allowing Mulhalfs story to stand
without examination by the lawyers
for the organizations involved.
At the hearing today a sharp debate
occurred among members of the COM
mittee about whether foreign manu-
facturers and importers had Influenced
tariff reductions in the present bill.
Mulhall caused a mild sensation By
swearing that list of repeaters from
New York had been offered him In the
sixth New Jersey campaign against
William Hughes in 1910 by Mr.
Conklin, who. he said, was q republi-
can county chairman In that district.
'I refused them," Mu1hall said. He
told me both sides used them"
Several of Mulhalfs expense ac-
counts about the time of the 1910
elections showed large amounts paid
for work at the polls. He swore he
had not paid any of the money di-
rectly to voters. He said II had gone
to party workers.

SENATOR WORKS
ONLY REP PUbL|CAN
READY To TALK
Californian, Taking Up the
Tariff Debate, Devotes
His Attention to the
Sugar Schedule

WASHINGTON, D. c., July %. -
Senator Gallinger, leader OF the sem
ate republicans. could find no republi-
can senator ready to speak on the tariff
today except Senator Works. who re-
sumed his address begun yesterday.
Several republicans have tariff
speeches in preparation. Senator Works
today devoted his attention chiefly to
the sugar schedule. defending the beet
sugar industry of the west. and assail-
ing free sugar in 1916 as ruinous to
that industry.
II do not advocate a high tariff or
prohibitive tariff" said Senator
Works, ito build up monopoly. but
do believe that the sugar industry IS
widely misunderstood in this country.
The insistent demand for legislation
against trusts and agitation against
the high cost of living have led to
many erroneous conclusions and will
industry. As soon as the finishing
touches have been put to the beet
sugar people, the cane sugar trust will
have an absolute monopoly"
WILLIAMS HUMORIsT
Senator Williams of Mississippi said
IN the tariff debate today that the DEM
ocrats had found 1t difficult to deal
logically with the tariff because 1t had
been placed on stills by years Of re-
publican protection.
This prompted Senator Cummins to
ask why the democrats had not cut OF
little of both stilted legs.
Senator Williams replied that they
were afraid 1t would kill the poor
thing" to walk straight all at once.
You have put the country on stills"
said Senator Williams, addressing the
republicans: I'VE can't reduce the du-
ties In one bill all that we would like
to on account of the chaotic artificial
condition you have created. We can
bill for that very reason"
ANOTHER VIEWPOINT
II agree with the senator from Mis-
sissippf that the Payne Aldrich law
gave the American legs stilts that
were too high, but I think the way
to correct the trouble is to saw off a
fair length from both legs. But the
senator from Mississippi would saw
off one leg entirely and leave the
other where 1T was. He should leave
the agricultural leg no shorter than
the manufacturing Leg"
Well" said Senator Williams. I'VE
found the poor thing with one leg al
ready longer than the other and we
took off proportionately from the long
leg. but still the poor, crippled thing
will have to go stumbling along"
But you should equalize the legs"
said Senator Cummins.
"Oh, we struck a fellow so in the
habit OF walking with one leg longer
than the other that we were afraid
It would Kill him IL both legs were
made exactly even,' Senator Williams
retorted, arousing laughter OF the
democrats.
When the senate adjourned hours of
argument had delayed progress In the
chemical schedule, so that less than
10 paragraphs had been approved dur
ing the day.

court became impatient to pass
judgment upon the feast that was

strong adherents.
Much amusement was afforded
by the examination of the iurymen
and the questioning of the various
witnesses. The attorneys for the
plaintiff tried, through their wit
ness, to prove that from the failure
of the defendant to carry out his
solemn promise of arriage,
