CHAUFFEUR
FREE OF CHARGE
OF KILLING

The fact that Frederick Wagner,
chauffeur for Richard Sellers. stopped
his automobile on Monday when he
ran down Walter Dorrell, a colored
boy. and took him to the Delaware
Hospital, proved he was not guilty Of
criminal negligence. This was the
statement OF Judge Churchman to-
day when Wagner was charged with
manslaughter.
After hearing the several witnesses
for the State, all of whom told how.
the Dorrell lad had dartcd across
Delaware avenue at Jefferson street
in the rear Of a trolley car and di-
rectly in the path of Wagner's auto.
the case was dismissed. Wagner was
represented by former Attorney-Gen-
eral Andrew c. Gray. and plea of
not guilty was entered. This morn
ing Mr.. Gray said the defense would
admit that Dorrell had died at the
Delaware Hospital where he was re-
moved after the accident, from a
fractured skull.
Clark Samuels. a young son of DR.
Meredith l. Samuels, who witnessed the
accident, proved that he knew consid-
cradle about automobiles when called
as a witness The boy when asked how
fast his father operated his automobiles
asked when in the city or country.
The youth also said he could tell how
] faaf lIorurr me- rt,sufr aF fh. ffr4n al
the accident if he had seen the speedo-
meter but he also claimed the automo-
bile was going at moderate speed.
Alvin Lyons. a conductor on a Della
ware avenue ear. was the first witness.
He said that his car was going west
had stopped at jefferson street TO al
low passengers to alight, when Wagner
going east on the avenue struck the
boy.
Young Samuels said he saw the au-
tomobile when it hit the Dorrell boy
and that Wagner stopped his machine
within two car lengths.
William j Shiles, n teamster, said
that while his team was a few feet in
the rear of the car waiting for it to
move, Dorrell and the two other boys
started to cross the street, passing be-
tween his team and the car. As Dorren
reached the east-boInd track the auto
mobile came along and hit him. Wag-
ner. the witness said, stopped his ma
chine and picked up the injured lad and
started for the hospital. This was borne
out by Edward Lennegham, colored, who
was with Dorrell at the time. The court
then said that no criminal negligence
had been shown and the case was dis
missed.

PRESIDENT
SEES CRISIS
IN MEXICO
fOnferS With Advisers. But
No Announcement Of
Plans Yet
NAY RECOGNIZE THE
DE FACTO GOVERNMENT
By The United Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S1-President
Wilson denied himself to all political
callers today to wrestle with the two
grave problems that threaten the sue
cess of his administration-Mex
and currency. The first occupied his
attention Immediately after breakfast.
First he had with him in his priavte
Office Boaz w. Long, head of the
Bureau of Latin-American Affairs of
the State Department. The latter
explained certain facts communicated
to him by consular agents which dealt
with Mexican interior conditions. The
counsellor of the State Department,
John Bassett Moore, acting secretary
of state in the absence of Secretary
Bryan, who is now on the stump in
New Jersey at the request of the Presi-
dent himsef, followed Long.
Professor Moore, as the leading ex-
ponent of international law in the
United States, had been going over at
length the drafted policy outlined by
this government to deal with Mexico.
He refused to discuss his visit ORR
ginally Moore favored recognition of
Huerta. Overruled in this it is under
stood that he believes this govern
AhRAAl AAAnAltl1 VI AhAtA NtIllE WIFI llb
armed forces to eliminate Huerta,
should recognize the de facto govern
ment of the revolutiOnists headed by
General Carranda. It is believed
that this subject occupied most Of the
time that he spent with the President
today.
Although the President has arrived
at a definite conclusion regarding his
future plans II was stated on au-
thority that unless there is some sud-
den shift in conditions south Of the
Rio Grande, there will be no an
nouncement until the result of last
Sundays election is officially made
public
An emissary from General Venu-
stiano Carranza, leader of the Con-
stitutionalists, was expected in Wash
ingtOn some time today to lay be-
fore President Wilson the plans Of
the Constitutionalists and make a
last plea that the embargo against the
importation Of arms into Mexico be
raised.
According TO NJ. Perez Romaro, con-
f7dential agent for the Constitutional
lists I'm Washington, Carranza's repre-
sentative will not ask that the Con-
stitutiOnalists be recognized, but he
will pledge Carranzas word that with
freedom to obtain arms and war muni-
tions, the Constitutionalists will drive
Haerta out of Mexico City within
sixty days.
After that Carranza-the practical
idealist, will set up a government
that will not fall while he is at the
helm," said Romaro.
Romaro today denied the report
that General Trevino, Federal leader,
had been captured by the Constitu-
tionalists when Monterey was attack
20 and had later been released by the
rebels. This denial was wired TO him
by Carranza.
