Concluding his address the presi
dent predicted that the steady pres
sure of moral force will before many
days break the barriers of pride and
prejudice down and we shall triumph
as lMexico's friends soner than We

Senor Gampoa's note, which was ap.

an exhibit, was not read by the presi-
dent, but furnished to congress as a
printed document.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters and
Secretary Bryan had taken places in

Thy servants, that as a nation we

OF our motives"
Although deafening volley of ap-
plause rang out as the president ap-
peared he plunged ilnto the reading
OF his message without delay, with
a bow of acknowledgment Of the
greeting.

President Wilson in person address
ed congress today on the Mexican sit
uasion as follows:
Gentlemen Of the congress: 1t is
clearly my duty to lay before you very
fully and without reservation the facts
concerning our present relations with
the republic of Mexico. The deplor-
able posture of affairs in Mexico I
need not dscri5s, but | deem it my
duty to speak Fry FRANKLY Of what
this government has done and shGgll
seek to do in f1lfillment of its obli-
gatjons to Mexico hereafter, as q
friend and neighbor, and to American
citizens whose lives and vital inter
ests are daily affected by the distress
ing conditions which now obtain be-
yond our southern border.
'These conditions touch us very
nearly; not merely because they lie
at our very doors. That, Of course,
makes us more yividly and more con
stantly conscious Of them, and every
instinct of neighborly interest and
sympathy is aroused and quickened
by them; but that is only one element
in the determination Of our duty.
we are glad to call our selves the
friends Of Mexico, and we SHALL
hope, have many an occasion, in hap
pier times as well as in these days
of trouble and confusian, to show that
our friendship is genuine and disin-
terested, capable Of sacrifices and ey-
cry generous manifestation. The
peace, prosperity and contentment Of
Mexico mean more, much more, to US
than merely an enlarged field for our

da yafternoon which they can, may

ter people good deal to give up this
matinee day for youngsters, but they
are good fellows and do not mind los
ing little money when a chance
comes to make the boys and girls hap
py.
It is also costing the Optic some
thing, but the optic is good fellow
and doesn't mind helping give the
kiddies a little fun.
This matinee is one for the boys
and girls alone. No grown people
need try to attend. Youngsters must
come alone or with an older sister
or brother or friend, If their parents
are afraid to let them make the trip
alone. Those who bring youngsters
yet are too old themselves to enjoy
the matinee can wait outside the thea
ter. This rule would not be made
were it possible to accommodate all
the kids and grown-ups as well, but
the management expects that at least
three shows viii be necessary 10 let
all the youngsters see the show any
way, and wishes to exclude the grown
people beacuse Of that fact Other
wise they would be running Kids Ma
tinees until midnight.
The matinee is absolutely free.
There are no strings Of any kind at
tached to it, all that is asked is that
the boys and girls get their tickets at
the Optic office Saturday morning af
ter 1880. No tickets win be given
out after 1870 unless the kids to whom
they are given are in line at that time.
All boys and girls under IA are
urged to attend this matinee. Those
who are older will have to step aside
and let the younger children have the
benefit Of the day. Aside from the
fact that each kid must be clean,
there are no restrictions. Any old
sort Of clothes viii be plenty good
enough.
While this matinee is being given
for all the children, it is the poorer
children that it is most intended to
reach. Barefoot or shod, dressed in
velvet or rags, it is all one on this
day. One Kid is as good as the next
and each will get but one ticket.
BY special Arrangement, the theater
have arranged for the best
possible music, Mrs. Simison having
to play at this matinee.
though usually she does not play in
the afternoons. It costs something,

NeM York state -

sherbrooke, Que. Aug. 27.-Nev
York state was ruled out o
court here today in a dramatic pre-
liminary skirmish with lawyers fol
Harry k. Thaw, the Matteawan fugi
tive fighting deportation.
Superior Judge GloBensky, hearing
arguments Of Thaw's counsel on q
motion to discontinue writ Of habeas
corpus, absolutely refused to entertain
the objections Of Hector verret, rep
resenting New York. This was greet
ed with wild outburst Of cheering
by a thousand Canadian spectators.
Thaw, rising, bowed in acknowledge
ment.
"Hooray for the British flag. Hooray
for Harry Thaw,' shrieked men and
women, standing on chairs, waving
handkerchiefs, parasols and hats.
Judge Globensl1y later granted the
plea for the discontinuance Of the
habeas corpus writ and remanded
Thaw to Jail. This was complete
victory for the Thaw lawyers.
Thaw bowed three times like a
stage star taking a curtain call before
a svmnathetic audience. His cheeks
we're flushed, his big brown eyes
shone, but he maintained his compo-
sure. When the New Workers and
their lawyers got back their breath
they assembled in their hotel. Mr..
Jerome called reporters aside and die
tated this statement:
eve, who represent here the state
Of New York, are entirely unwilling
to comment on the scene that occur
red in one Of his majesty's courts
today. The relations between the bar
Of the United States and the courts
OF the Dominion Of Canada are most
friendly and cordial and we, realize
keenly the sense of humiliation ex-
.perienced by our brethren in Canada
who are assisting us. Mr.. Jacobs, who
is associated with US, would prefer moi
to say anything with reference to the
occurrence Of the morning"
Mr.. Jerome turned toward Mr. JAG

TloN MAY BE NEEDED

Denver, Aug. 27.-The Denver Post
today prints statements of ni1eteen
governors attending the conference OF
governors at Colorado Springs, on
President Wilson's Mexican message.
Most Of the statements are favorable

LEY.
Governor Mcdonald Of New Mexico
declared that the president was right
in his views as to the uopelesseness
of Huerta's attempts to restore or
der. "As to armed Intervention, he
added, Il cannot say that am in
favor Of it. 1t may be necessary some
time, but the question is as to wheth-
er it is time yet. We must take INTO
consideration the right of Mexico as
an independent state to fight its own
battles.
Governor Colquitt of Texas, who
has been a severe critic of the ma
tional administration in the Mexican
affair, remarked:
Wilson seems to have come
around to the opinion Of the Texas
governor when he says peace and
Huerta are at opposite poles.'
Governor slayton, Georgia, said the
United States would not De Justified
in intervention under the absolute
necesity Of protecting its own citi
zens.
Goevrnor Spry of Utah, said 1T is
easy to tell American citizens to get
out of Mexico. None of us want
to see war, and personally l do not
think the whole Of Mexico is worth
the lives it might cost, but if we have
to go in there with an army, am in
favor of doing the job right and TAX
ing over the entire country for our
selves"
Ultimate war with Mexico is fore
cast by Governor Byrne of Sopth Da-
kota, who says the Wilson solution
of the difficulty looks to me to be
rather weak policy"
Governor Hunt, Arizona Things
are in terrible condition in Mexico,
and it grieFes me to think of our peo-
pie down there. Does President Viii
son say for them to get out OF the
country? A great many Of them
have already done So and others
would like to, but can't. Some have
been killed. while trying to get away"

Washington, Aug. z7-President
Wilson appeared in person before
congress and laid bare to the world
the details of this nations efforts to
bring about peace in Mexico, the facts
concerning Huertas rejection of the
peace proposals and the policy to be
pursued now by this government.
The president announced the posi-
ton of the United States as follows:
No armed intervention.
Strict neutrality, forbidding the ex-
portation of arms or munitions of
war Of any kind from the United
States to any part of the republic of
Mexico.
Under no circumstances to be the
partisans Of either party to the con
test that now disrupts Mexico, or con
stitute ourselves the virtual umpire
between them
To urge all Amedicans to leave
Mexico at once and to assist them to
get away in every possible way.
To let everyone in Mexico who as
sumes to exercise authority know that
this government shall vigilantly
watch the fortunes of those Ameri-
cans who cannot get away and shall
hold these responsible for their suf-
ferings and losses to definite rec
ognition. "That can and will be made
plain beyond the possibility of mis-
understanding" declared the presi-
dent.
Negotiations for the friendly medi-
alton Of the United States are open
to resumption at any time on either
the initiative Of this government or of
Mexico.
Accompanying the presidents ad-
dress was the reply of the Huerta
government rejecting the American
proposals. It was written by Foreign
Minister Gamboa. It suggested the
following alternative policy for the
United States
Reception of Mexican ambassador
in Washington.
That the United States send new
ambassador to Mexico without re
straints.
Strict observance of the neutrality
laws and "see to it that no material
or monetary assistants is given to
the rebels"
Unconditional recognition Of the
Huerta government.
The occasion had not been parallel
ed in more than century. No other
president since George Washington
has appeared before congress on a.
foreign affair. The senate and house
assembled in the house chamber, the
senators filing in two by two AS the
president mounted the platform where
