MEXICAN FACTS ARE
BEFORE OFFICIALS
FOUR PLANS TO SETTLE MExi.
CAN WAR PROPOSED BY SOME.
NO POLICY is ANNOUNCED YET
Neither President Wilson Nor Score,
tary Bryan Have Made State
ments as to the Sense Of the
Federal Government.

Washington, July 31.-President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan devoted
themselves to study of the volumi-
nous reports at their disposal on con-
ditions In Mexico. Indications are
that with the appearance before the
senate committee on foreign relations
Of Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
the last stage in the program Of the
administration to discover the facts
Of the situation before announcing a
policy has been reached.
While resolution in the house
calls for joint committee to obtain
documents in the Mexican situation
and another in the senate sought the
opinion of that body on the question
Of recognizing the belligerency Of the
Constituencies, administration Off
Gals again declared that there would
be no haste in formulating definite
policy toward Mexico.
Situation Not Thought Acute.
Secretary Bryan stated that no
proposition for mediation had been
submitted to either of the two fac
tions in Mexico, and incidentally re-
marked that he might go back to the
lecture platform in few days. The
present condition of affairs is not con-
sidered acute here.
The development of policy by the
United States may be delayed to OBJ
serve the outcome of efforts being
made by leading Mexicans to bring
about an understanding between the
two warning sides.
Some administration officials have
proposed that the American policy be
pursued along q succession of alter
natives:
First-They suggest the United
States should refrain from interior
ence while the Mexican leaders them
selves endeavor to compose their diff
ferences. The attitude Of the United
States against recognizing the Huerta
administration already is being out
lined in Mexico according to reports
here, as indicating that the abdication
of Huerta in favor of compromise
provisional president is inevitable.
Would Mean Decisive Result.
Second-Should all efforts by the
Mexicans to adjust the dispute fail,
it is proposed by influential members
of the senate that the embargo on
arms be lifted and the two factions
be permitted to obtain munitions of
war on an equality. Some senators
freely predict a decisive result in
quick time under those circumstances
Third-Should peace be delayed the
suggestion is that the United States
offer to mediate through a commits
sion.
Fourth-As last resort, it is sug-
gested that a tripartite commission,
composed of Representatives of the
United States and Latin American
nations could endeavor to bring about
Z settlement by peaceful means.
A declaration from President Huer.
ia that no American in Mexico shall
suffer injustice or violence with his
cognizance," was made public by the
state department.

1 " ufacturing concerns In New York!
That's the record of a man who
served almost a year and half in the
water-soaked cells OF the states chief
prison. But here's his trait that
makes every man with a heart love
him-"He's the Soul-Saver of Sing
Sing"
This manufacturing company is do
ing a reputable business in lower New
York city. Its president and propri-
stor is q former inmate of the prison,
and his office employees have served
prison sentences for nearly every va
riety of crime.
The firm does about 100000 a
year business and enjoys an enviable
standing for integrity and reliability.
The jailbird proprietor has an init
mate acquaintance with every notori-
GUS criminal in Sing Sing prison,
gained while he was doing time as a
fellow prisoner. He always hires his
employees direct from prison cells as
they are about to be paroled.
This is what business rival said
Of him: "He is far more honest than
most men who have never seen a
jail. I never question his word. It is
~ good as his bond, and should be
satisfied to transact any business, NO
matter how large. with him on his
verbal agreement"
This is what the employer says Of
his thirty ex-convict Office employees:
II have employed several hundred

Found Guilty Of Fraud.
For obvious reasons the name of
this conv1ctmanufacturer Is withheld,
though hN makes no secret Of his own
life-stery. Briefly. ten years ago he
was accnsed Of taking part in . con-
spiracy to defraud, was tried and
found guilty. For a long time the
case hung on the records, but finally
he was sent to Sing Sing on a fifteen
months sentence, which he served.
It was what he saw there that
caused him to start his unique employ
ment shop for ex-convicts. While liv-
ing with two other men in a cell, three
feet SIX inches by seven feet, with the
water reeking and dripping down the
stone walls of the century-old hell
hole, he developed some radical ideas
on the present-day theory Of prisons
and prisoners.
He had ample opportunity to study
the civilization that openly tolerates
the throwing Of men, who have made
o single slip, into one OF those three
by-soven cells. with pair of the low
sst, most hardened, degenerate crooks
that can be found for companions. He
formed opinions as to whether year
or two of life in these cells with the

Mr.. EMPLOYER SAW THIS IN SING
SING PRISON.
Forty per cent. Of the men In prison
ought not have been sent there.
Nearly 80 per cent. Of the inmates
Of Sing Sing are "dope fiends."
Twenty per cent. are "dope fiends"
when they 90 there. The remaining
80 per cent. acquire the habit In their
cells.
There should be prison segregation
-prlsons for first offenders, places for
old-tImers, for degenerates and for
murderers. BY mixing all together,
tho pestIIence Of one IL spread to the
ether. Thus the prison becomes a
crime college.

ignoring the interruption, and
continued her discretion.
