"How Come" Say School Board.

Franklinton.-In the case against
Cesario, the clock mechanic, who was
recently fined $500, with an imprison-
ment sentence of twelve months In de-
fault of payment of fine, and whose
fine was reduced to 800 without any
record of reduction of Imprisonment
sentence in case of defaulting to pay
the fine. and the district judge having
agreed on further reduction OF fine
to $50 after allowing him $50 for the
repair of the town clock, it appears
that the school board, which is en-
titled to all fines in such cases, con
siders itself a loser unless the police
Jury assumes the cost of the clock re-
pairs.

NO INTERFERENCE WILL BE THE
POLICY OF UNITED STATES.
EMBARGO On Arms to All Factions
Will Be Maintained and the Bor-
der Patrol Strengthened.

Mexico City-President wilson's
person representative, John Lind. lett
the Mexican capital Tuesday, proceed
ing to Vera Cruz.
Mr. Lind called on Foreign Minister
Gamboa Monday to say goodbye, but
there was nothing in their conversa-
ton regarding the resumption of ne
gOtiatiOns or to indicate that Mexico
would recede from her position.
Mr. Lind will sail from Vera Cruz at
in early date, presumably on a battle
ship. 1t is expected that William
Bayard Hale, who has been in Mexico
City in an unofficial capacity, will ac-
company Mr. Lind or leave soon after.
Rumors persist that General Ire
vino, who has been summoned TO the
capital, will become provisional presi-
dent, but confirmation is lacking, and
this report is offset by another that
General Huerta has called in most of
the retired officers and many OF those
on detached service TO report for
duty
General Felix Diaz, who started for
/ Japan, as special Mexican ambassador,
/ is said to have received a summons
to return TO the capital.
! As an indication of the cordial per
sonal relations established by Mr.
Lind with General Huerta, the presi-
dent placed his private car at the
disposal of Mr. Lind, who accepted
the proffer and will occupy the cal
on the trip to Vera Cruz.
Negotiations so far as Mr.. Lind is
concerned have been terminated. The
United States will receive any further
proposals through Charge d'Affaire!

bassy.

relations Monday night at a confer
ence at the White House by Presiden

cally unanimous approval. The futur
course of this government will be on
of noninterference, in the hope tina
the effect of its present efforts an
, the pressure of foreign government
will constitute moral suasion tina
ultimately will bring about peace
, Mexico.
The message makes 1t plain tina
, there will be no lifting of the embarg
on arms; that no faction or govern
, ment in Mexico will be allowed. to r.
ceive munitions of war from the Uni
ed States. If necessary the presider
: proposes to increase the America
! border patrol to enforce this policy.
President Wilson read Monday nigi
: to the members of the senate commi
= tee on foreign relations and the houS
committee on foreign affairs, repu
=, licans as well as democrats, the mes
Il age on the Mexican situation.
1t is a message of friendship, N
: hostility, and precedes a policy OF
solute noninterference. 1t proclaim
to the world the Sympathetic feelir
that the United States governmel
and the American people have II
their neighbors in the rebellion-tol
e. republic south of the Rio Grande.
