BRYAN SILENT ON
WILSON CHARGES
WILL NOT EVEN ADMIT THAT
ANY HAVE BEEN FILED WITH
DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON. April 6.--Secretary
of State Bryan this afternoon declined
TO discuss the charges against Henry
Lane Wilson, ambassador to Mexico,
said to have been filed at the state
department recently IN the name Of
Manuel Rojas. formerly an official at
tached to the Mexican congress. Mr.,
Bryan would not. in fact, q 5mit that
such charges had heen received. nor
would anyone at the state depart
ment acknowledge that they had been
received.
The charges made by Pojas are
substantially those made by Ma
deristas following the killing OF the
late president and have been fully
exploited hitherto in both countries
The charges against Ambassador
Wilson create a delicate situation for
officials of the state department who
antedate Mr.. Bryan there. These of
ficials, as was Secretary Knox. are
convinced that the CT argos against the
ambassador are ABSOLUTELY unjustifi-
able, and the fruit of malice.

MOBILE, ALA, April 6.--Louis
Rivera, a colonel in the Mexican
army, and a close friend of the late
Gustavo Madero, brother of the muir
dered Mexican president, says that
there will be no peace in Mexico I'M
til the slayers of Madero and Pine
Suarez are displaced from power. He
is bitter against General Huerta, the
provisional president, whom he calls a
traitor, and declares the intelligent
people of Mexico will not countenance
tactics that have put a blot upon the
name of their county.
There Is but one course for the
murderers of General Madero to
adopt" exclaimed Colonel Rivera. and
that is to resign and submit to the
creation of constitutional govern
ment. The government of Huerta is
not constitutional, and there are
enough stick1ers for the constitution
in Mexico to prevent the possibility
of peace.

when Madero and Suarez were shot to
death in the palace cannot be erased.

LONDON. April 6.-The police to-
day again saved the militant suf-
fragettes from violence at the hands
of crowds which attended their meet
ings in Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath,
and Wimbledon Common. About
twelve thousand assembled in Hyde
Park. They made such racket that
it was impossible for the suffragette
speakers to make themselves heard.
The mob peited the women with turf,
orange peels and other such things
One OF the speakers was struck on
the face but was not seriously hurt.
The police formed phalanx
around the wagon platform from
which the women were trying to
speak. and prevented several attempts
by the crowd to rush 1t. The women
left the park surrounded by a guard
of mounted police. The crowd fol-
lowed and yelled derisively at the
women. The police barred the gates
and prevented the mob from follow
ing the women into the streets.
Police Make Rescue.
The speakers then drove to Hamp-
stead Heath. and tried in vain to
mako addresses there. The crowd
made q terrific din, but the police
again protected the women from
violence.

OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY

A Keokuk commissioner, against
whom the recall has been invoked, is
credited with saying he does not see
what the people are complaining about,
as the commission hasn't failed to
prosecute when someone else has pro-
duced the evidence. A city official is
not selected to sit around while some
one else does his work for him. The
official who waits for someone else to
do the work which he was elected to
do, is not fulfilling his sworn obliga-
ton. A city official who tries to hide
behind the old. time-worn excuse, you
get the evidence and l will prosecute, "
is admitting that he is incompetent to
fill the place for which he is drawing
a salary from the people.
Whether a city advances or goes
back is largely decided by the men it's
citizens elect to office. The quantity
and quality Of work to be done by a
public official is generally set by the
degree OF responsibility felt by that
official. An official who will not of his
own volition seek to enforce the law,
should be removed from office.

It is estimated that 100000, 900 peo-
