port herself.

Rooney. After listening to her story
the judge asked the amount that was
claimed by the landlady.
Its a dollar, your honor, and
haven't a cent in the world. only just

old woman.

chine back, for here's a dollar" sym

REFUGEE AID HAS
NO EFFECT ON j. S.
MEXICAN POLICY
Bryan Says 100000 Would
Care for Indigents Anxious
to Cross Border.
SECRETARY SAYS MOVE
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Custom Is to Take Care of
Stranded Americans When
in Danger.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Secretary
Bryan today vigorously disclaimed
that his request to Congress to appro-
pirate 100000 for bringing destitute
Americans out of Mexico had -
connection with any policy the ~
ministration may evolve in dealins
with the Mexican situation.
Statements attempting to put a
scare-head construction upon the re-
quest for an appropriation are entire
ly without excuse and cannot be ex-
planned upon any theory consistent
with an interest in the public well
fare" said he. "In furnishing aid to
any INDECENT person desiring to leave
Mexico the government is simply do
ing what it does at any time when
American lives are in danger by in
surrection and there is no reason why
anybody should attempt to miscon-
strue it."
Secretary Bryan's request, however,
was generally interpreted as one step
in the administration plan for deal
ing with the Mexican trouble.
Forerunner of Non-interference.
Far from being regarded as a pre-
liminary to intervention-which Pres
ident Wilson has told friends on vari-
GUS occasions is out of the question
the request for funds is really thought
to be the forerunner of a policy of
non-interference.
From the first the President has be-
lieved that in crisis in turbulent re-
publics the single solicitude of the
American government should be the
protection of lives and property.
Should the administration here adopt
a policy of on-interference, 1t might
well refrain from action with respect
to the destruction of property on the
ground that claims for damages
would, under international law, event
ually cover losses. The chief consid-
Grafton has always been and will be
caring for the lives of Americans
and foreigners. In any crisis, Ameri-
cans of means, upon warning, would
easily be able to flee the country but
dangers always have beset those who,
through lack of funds, could not
make the journey promptly. To meet
such an emergency the present re-
quest for an appropriation Is directed.
A Precautionary Measure.
The administration, while hopeful
that peace negotiations may bring
the two factions to suspension OF
hostilties, realizes that with the
resignation of Huerta or any other
political change Americans may be-
come alarmed, and the desire to OBJ
tain funds with which to care for
those who may be anxious to leave
Mexico is a precautionary measure.
Secretary Bryan's request will
come up at the first meeting of the
House appropriations committee
next week.
Chairman Flood, of the foreign af-
fairs committee, said today he be-
lieved the committee would vote to
include the s100,00t appropriation in
the deficiency hin.
We at least owe 1t to the stranded
Americans in Mexico 10 provide
means for their return in these
turbulent times said Mr.. Flood
