WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-While
official dispatches today fully disposed
of the sensational war scare report
ed from Mexico City, the Mexican sit
uation was made more tense through
receipt of word from Special Envoy
Lind that President Huerta had re-
jected the plan of mediation upon
which President Wilson based his
hope OF restoring peace in Mexico.
President Wilson received cable
gram from Charge o'Shaugnessy
while he was at breakfast. 1t con-
tanned fiat denial, authorized by
President Huerta of the report that
the defacto government had demand
ed recognition by the United States
last midnight and giving to O'Shaugh-
messy his passports, severing relations.

Governor Martin H. Glynn when told
that Harry K Thaw was under arrest
in Canada said that he did not know
what action would be taken. "Of
course his extradition is a matter for
the federal authorities to settle" he
said. "and it would be necessary for
local authorities at Matteawan to take
the first step toward bringing him
back to the United States"
The status of Thaw is a question
that is troubling the state officials. He
has been a source of extreme expense
to the state and there are many who
would like to have him permitted tc
continue his trip to Europe If 1t Is
really true that he is headed thai

FUNSTON ASKS
JAPANESE PAPER
To RETRAC7 TALE

Calling on the Nippu Jill to make
a public retraction and apology for
tie story published a few days ago,
anese woman by three colored SOL
diers, General Funston today sent a
letter to Editor Sega Of that paper,
worded in straight-from-th e-shoulder
language.
The department commander, as
soon as the sensational story was
picked up and printed by the Ameri-
can morning paper, started an inves-
tigation, and also had q translation
made of the original japanese article.
which proved to be even more denun-
ciatory against the American soldier
than that printed by the morning pa
per. The investigation, as stated in
the Star Bulletin, proved the entire
tale to be a fabrication, the truth be-
ing that three white soldiers had fore
ed entrance into house, bluffed a
Japanese into taking a drink which he
didn't want, and handled his wife
somewhat roughly, after which disor-
derby conduct they were put out by
the husband No one was beaten up,
and no criminal assault was accom-
tplished or attempted.
General Funston tells Editor Sega
in his letter that he must retract the
false statements through the columns
of the Nippu Jill or stand confessed as
a malicious disturber Of the peace and
breeder of racial Ul-feeling, in a
place which is singulariy free from the
!, latter. He points out that the true
facts could have been easily ascer-
tanned by the simple process of eaues-
tioning the alleged victims Of the as
sault, but that this was not done, and
an incendiary article, calculated to
raise ill-feeling between the Japanese
population and the troops. given pub
Hcity. r-~ <--s.z., p.
THE publication Of this article is
one of the grossest pieces Of injustice
against the American soldier that I
have ever come across said General
Funston this morning. Il do not mini
n1ize the actual offe1se committed,
and If it were possible at this late date
to apprehend the three white soldiers
who raised the disturbance in the
Japanese home they would undoubted-
ly stand trial, and probably get heavy
sentences. Howeyerjs there Is vast
difference between q rough house dis
turbance and capital crime, and to
spread such a tale broadcast was in
excusable. 4 wish that our libel laws
were such that suit could be brought"

GET IT SETTLED

Following closely the opinion of the deputy
city and county attorney the supervisors give ev.
idence of intention to restrict the civil service
commission to little more than nominal powers.
The attitude of the board was shown last
night in adopting two reports each of which re-
fuses to accept as authoritative or advisable the
work of the commission in making large num-
Der of changes in the administration of the po-
lice and fire departments With one exception,
that of Supervisor Pacheco, the board adopted
the reports, in which such criticisms as the fol-
lowing are thickly sprinkled:

THE SERVICE srlEDlRD UPHELD

Qualification that the men of the 25th
infantry have been fully cleared OF an ugly
charge against three of their number will be gen.
orally mingled with indignation at the gross ex-
aggeration Of the affair in portion of the press
The Star Bulletin, after learning last Satur-
day of the alleged assault, ascertained that no
report had been made either to the police or the
army authorities and that the runor itself was
80 vague and unsubstantiated as to be open to
immediate suspicion For that reason this pa
per declined to print the story though of its own
accord it began to look into the facts. Later,
when a portion of the press gave the affair ex-
IRENE and detailed publicity, and the police and
army officials began their investigation, all the
essential facts we're printed in this paper and it
,ras at once seen how distorted were the earlier
versions. Assssssz 49,
The men of the service quite naturally have
resented the unfairness of their treatment in the
publication Of idle rumor We believe in giving
! souare deal to every man, whether in khaki or
civilian clothes, and the 25th has come out of
the affair with colors flying. In fact, the
enfire service has been exonefated of the worst
features of the charge and the community is
glad of it. ...z.,. ..

TIE CVRRtECr CLASH

Senate disagreement on the currency bill APP
pears to be considerably wider than the admin
istration is quite willing to have recognized Up
until recently Senator 0'Gorman of New York
was believed to be the only Democratic member
Of the upper house who would insist that no final
action on the new bill be taken at this session,
but little more than week ago he was def
nfely joined by Senators Hitchcock and Reed
The committee still contains four stanch sup
porters Of the Wilson policy Owen, Hollis
Pomerene and Shafroth.
These four, however, were outmaneuvered and
oatvoted by a coalition Of the other Democrats
with the Republicans on the committee. This
coalition succeeded in Eeting into the bill amend
ments which, says Chairman Owen rather bitter
", @alter the entire theory Of the bill The
amendments were as follows:
That the regional banks to administer the new
currency scheme be capitalized by public subscrp-
ton the stock not taken by the public to be taken
up BY the member banks Of the system. sI
That each regional bank be controlled by nine d.
rectors i've to be named by the government through
the federal reserve board and to be chosen BY
the member bank
that the new currency to be issued be treasury
notes. obligations Of the United States loaned to the
banks and not bank notes guaranteed by the gov
eminent This sustains the provision Of the admin
istration bill as 1t passed the house.
That the new notes be redeemabe In gold by the
regional banks and the treasury. and not In gold 4
and lawful money" as provided BY the administra-
tion bill. l
These are the amendments to which the Owen
element on the committee, recognized as repre-
senting the administration, heartily objects.
The reports to the senate today bring out the
clashing views in the committee Final action is
now hardly probable, though President Wilson
has held SO many cards up his sleeve this summer
and played them SO deity that his wishes hither-
to have ruled congressional action with Ger.
tainty that is at least adIairable. sSzS}}F
