TAFT LAYS BLAME ON COL. ROOSEVELT Says Former President Tried to Demoralize Coun-
 try's Judiciary.
WILSON IS PRAISED
Because Oi His NOn.InteryPntiOn Pol icy Toward Mexico in Crisis and
 Pledges His Support.

New York, Dec. 11-Former Presi- dent Wi'::am H. Taft, lecturing be- for the New York Peace Society to- night, accused former President independence of the judiciary and demoraliIe the administration or justice in two continents. Taft also eulogized Senator Root as second Alexander Hamilton and Thomas ,Ief- ferson aLd pledged his support to President Wilson in his policy of non intervention ill Mexico.
 Mr. Taf. had been arguing for the maintainanCe of the Monroe Doctrine when he suddenly broke forth with: "I am :. ad that MT. Roosevelt in his visit 10 those countries (Brazil and Argentina) has sought to impress them with the view of the Monroe Doctrine that I have expressed, daughter Indeed, he would have helped them and us too, far more if
 
 lectures to explanations and limita- tions of the Monroe Doctrine and had not sought to destroy the indepen- dence of the judiciary and demoralize the administration of justice in two continents
 AS to inc attitude he thought the United St.tss shouif assume in Mexico the former President said.
 "Anachy seems to reign. Interven- tion' by force means the expenditure or enormous sums from our treasury; loss of ncst valuable lives and the dragging cut of tedious war against Guerrillas in a tractless country. All that those of us who are not in the government can do is to support the President and Secretary of State and ] present to the European powers and l the world solid front. Such a policy will relieve us from an awful burden. In spite of conditions i2 Mexico the situation illustrates the in- fluence of the Monroe Doctrine upon the attitude of the European powers which in spite of injury to property and persons of their nations look to the United States for a guide whom they are willing to follow"

do business with the money of other people hal grown 10 such an extent that the legislature wanted to speci- fically stop it and l think the legis- lature has only declared the law as is was ard they have declared it in no uncertain terms ---made specific, in absolute terms, what was the law be- fore. The fact, if it be fact, that the defendant or his friends may have paid back the money taken from the district does not entitle him to any consideration whatever. It was his duty to pay it back; it was a moral and legal obligation for him to pay it back; he was there not to pay it back, but to pay it out legally; in this case he paid it back after converting it to his own use.
 "The evidence shows that Mir. Russell, IS Treasurer of a number of improveme.i districts of the City of Pine Bluff took the money that was placed in his hands--received from the tax payers of the district for a specific purpose. to make. certain inn prOvemenys-and that he took it and converted it to his own use-used it for his own purpOses-and that to the extent of $13,00O and odd dollars The evidence is nquestionable-un- disputed ae to that fact; consequent ly, the verdict was not contrary to the evidence, but an exceedingly mild one, considering what the evidence was.

Hearn Tomlinson and Bloom Filed Damage Suits for
 $50,000 Each
IN CIRCUIT COURT
Allegations same k Those in Suit Against [. II. Collier - Oth-
 CTS to Follow.

Three damage suits, aggregating $l5.00o W-Ic filed in the Jefferson circuit court yesterday by President w. D. IICarn, Frank E. Tomi1son and F. E. Bloom, members of tho Jefferson County Free Bridge Com- mission, against Arthur Murray, Dr. J. F. Simmons and !. A. Racop, respectively. Each of the plaintiffs ask for SJ0,000 damages. The suit follows similar court proceeding instituted several weeks ago by F. B. Bloom against T. II. Collier, an AL thoimer D anter, i'll which the plain- tiff asks Ter $40,0O0 damages.
 Others suits are yet to follow. They are to be filed by other members Of the Bridge Commission against other well known property owners who.' it is alleged signed defamatory state- ments regarding the action of the months ago that a majority of the property owners of this county had petitioncd for the Free Bridge, their ruling being sustained by the Supreme Court.
 The al! cations in all of the suits filed yesterday are the same as were included in the initial suit of MT. Bloom against Mr. Collier. with ono exception The suit of Mr.. HearD does not alege that Arthur Murray accused the commissioners of "a con- spracy" as is the case in the other suits. MT. Murray before signing his protes. petition ran line through the fourth clause, thus eliminating this charge, but he, like the other de- fendants, is charged with having o1 February II, 1913, filed with the board of asshssors of the Bridge Dis trict writing containing defamatory matter concerning the plaintiffs.
 The suits. which were filed by Att torneys Coleman and Can't :. and Danaher and Danaher, recite that after the Commission had met and gone over the petitions and de- clared majority in favor of the Free Bridge, as authorized by a special aat of the Legislature, which was declared legal in all the courts. the defendants filed the writing of protest with the assessors, alleging among other things conspiracy of the commissioners and that "the find- ing of the Board of Directors of the Jefferson County Free Bridge Dis- trict was corruptly and fraudulentiy made, because it found to be true that which was false"
 The plaintiffs charge that the de- fendants intended 10, have it under- stood, and did, in fact, charge the commissioners with being corrupt and dishonest; that they conspired with other members of the board to defraud them. of their property. and that the charges were maliciously made.

OFFICIAL EYES I"
 UPON FLETCHER Washington is Anxious Con- corning Admiral's Imme
 diate Naval Action.
WARNS REBEL FORCES
Army in Control of TampicO, Told Not to MOlest Neutral Zone or
 Destroy Foreign Property.

Washington, Dec 11.-State, Navy and War Department officials are on a keen edge of excitement this eve ming, as to whether it will be made necessary for Admiral Fletcher, who has sent for achievements. to land the greater part of his force ir the city of Tampico Admiral Fletcher in order to make good his position of being in charge of the operations in the harbor of Tampico and because he has undertaken to tell the rebels: and others what they shall and shall not do has sent his light drausht ves- sells close to shore.
 Dispatches from Admiral Fletcher state that the rebels are in possession of the river down to it's mouth; that he has established a neural zone un- der the guns of the Tacoma, Wheel ing and Chester, and that he has sent | solemn warning to the rebels not to destroy the property of foreign ers."
 Admiral Fletcher is in command of all the naval forces at Tampico. ac- cording to the official dispatches al. l the preparation for the protection of the Americans and foreigners on shore have been made by him. s
 He says that the Germans have placed their refugees on board com mercial steamer, and that they are guarded by German marines. The British residents have also gone on board a commercial steamer, under guard of marines from the British cruiser Suffolk Officials and other realize that notwithstanding the care full disposition made by Admiral Fletcher of his vessels in shore for the protection of Americans and Oth- CTS in the neutral zone, and foreign property which is largely the proper ty of British and American subjects sudden developments may demand more drastic action.
 Sends Ultimatum.
 This is all the more fully realized because Admiral Fletcher has been given authority to use his discretion and in that discretion he has sent prac an ultimatum to the con- ending forces.
 The dispatches to the Departments estimate the rebel forces at between 5000 and 1000 and that their opera tions, so far are confined to the cas- tern or left bank of the river.
 According to one of the admirals of the Department the neutral zone has been selected on the shore in full view of the bay and the three ..mer- ican vessel of light draught, the Ches- ter, Tacoma and Wheeling. have gone in a closely as possible to this zone These three vessels have been given extra attachments of marines.
 The object in ending for the Louis jana is that Admiral Fletcher should have from 500 to 700 more men under his order in case he is obliged to senG men in shore in force to keep his promises to the United States and for eign nations to protect foreign lives and property
