SEES NO REASON
FOR INTERVENTION
Secretary Knox Reviews COndi-
tIOns in Mexico City.

Washington, Feb. 10. - Secretary
Knox told President Taft and the cab
met that Notwithstanding all the
fierce fighting in the City OF Mexico
for the last eight days there had been
no infraction of the rules of civilized
warfare, or of the principles of inter-
national law, as would warrant any
interference by the United States.
The responsiveness of both Presi-
dent Madero and General Diaz, he
said, to the suggestions of Ambassa-
dor Wilson in the capacity of dean
of the diplomatic corps in the Mexi-
can capital, have been SO complete
and satisfactory as to justify officials,
In their opinion, for the strictly neu-
trail attitude observed by the United
States.
1t was noted that the federal bat
teries which threatened to draw the
fire of the rebels upon the legation
quarter promptly were removed by
General Huerta upon the request of
the American ambassador, who also
has been siven the largest powers

M0bILIzINC REAL
FIGHTING FORCE
Additional Marines Bound
for Guantanamo.
ARMY And NAVY ACTIVITY

Assembling Of Transports at Calves
ton indicates the Possibility Of .
Movement Of Troops From Gulf oi
Mexico Port.
Washington, Feb. 19.-By Sunday
President Taft will have 1000 addi
tional marines at Guantanamo bay
seventy-two hours journey from Vera
Cruz and ninety hours from Mexico
City.
The 1000 marines will make the
total force available at the Cuban
base about IL 900 men.
The mobilization of a real fighting
force at Guantanamo is the backing
up of President Taft's yelled threats
to Madero in the diplomatic notes
which he dispatched MONDAY to Mex
leo City, in which it was stated there
was pessimism in America as to con.
ditions in Mexico City. Less specific
in character but significant in itself
was the ordering of two transports to
Galveston to be held In readiness for
the dispatch of the southern portion
Of the army.
While veil OF secrecy was thrown
about preparations for mobilizing an
army expeditionary force at Galveston,
for the troops now on the border, il
was known that troops as far north
as Leavenworth had been ordered in
readiness. The order to send two OF
the army transports at Newport News
to Galveston disclosed that the gen.
eral stan was actually organizing for
the possibility OF a movement from
the latter point.
This would leave the First brigade

TOTALS A BILLION DOLLARS
American Capital Leads In Mexican
investments.

New York, Feb. 19.-Americans
have invested rs per cent more cap
ital in Mexican enterprises than the
Mexicans themselves, and more than
twice as much as all other nations
combined, according to estimates
made in authoritative financial circles
here. Various estimates of the total
American investments ranged from
$500, ,O0O, 900 to 81, 900, 100000. One ex.
pert who is in close touch with all
Central and South American coun.
tries placed his estimate as follows:
American capital, s1,000.0OO, 900;
Mexican capital, $793, 600, 900; English
capital, $S20,0O0,O00; French capital
s143, 900; other capital, s11S,O00,.

Death came slowly upon the venerable

assume that he has put forward his
best example. And what proof
Jimmy Hope" was not member
of the wealthy class. He was pro-
fessional criminal, man without
standing or respectability and all
the money he is known to have had
was stolen money. TO try to pass
him as representative Of the
wealthy class" is grotesque. 1t is
said he offered twenty five thousand
dollars to escape being tortured. 1t
is wonder he did not offer mill
ion. Mr.. Conner quotes, without a
shred of supporting evidence, the
claim that another crook, who had
been with Hope, was said to have
died with seventy-five thousand dol
lars And to make the example
plain remember that this erich man
whipped" was given the lash forty
years ago. If | am wrong in my
position certainly the fact that the
example used against me goes back
forty years to common thief try
ing to rob bank does not tend to
show it.
Mr.. Conner assumes that | have
accepted the law as not to blame
for discrimination. | have not. |
said there was plenty Of law to au-
thorize whipping rich men, and
there is. But that is not saying the
law is not at fault. Take the Hope
case. That man went to the out
side of a bank to rob it and the
law said he might be whipped.
He had taken the poor man s
method for crime so the lash
was ready. Suppose Hope had been
president of bank and had clean
ed it out, bond, coin and currency,
as many a banker has done, and
been caught Would he have got
the lash? Not in thousand years
The lash is for the poor offender
and every thinking man knows it.
Now as to my ''veiled attack" on
the courts: The courts are the ex-
preston of the wealthy class and
administer the laws as the makers
of the laws expected them to do;
fitting the punishment not to the
offense but to the social and fnan-
cial standing of the offender. Ny

wisdom of using brute methods for
economic ills to continue to try to

and injustice, otherwise | would

inevitable conclusions they will

in the public mind that every one

tenders of the torturing offenders
