day that Willard c. Jones. charged
with non-support of his wife, was
suffering from enlargement of the
hear and valvular leakage of same
organ. Jones, the physicians said,
was in danger of falling dead,
especially if he worked too hard. At
the present time Jones, the doctors
said, was too i'll to work. The
physicians said they never treated
Jones for any other ailment.
Jones was represented by James
Salisbury, who contended the man

Solicitor Lynn called Mrs. Grace
Jones, the wife. who said her hus-
band told her he suffered from other
troubles. This was objected to by
Jones attorney, and Mr.. Lynn asked
If he could have Jones examined by
another physician. The court said
that could not be done, without per-
mission of Jones.
The court said it was unjust to

WASHINGTON, Aug. $. Despite al

Then the action of the United States
would necessarily partake more Of the
nature of war of punishment than of
armed intervention to restore peace.
No word has been received from
the embassy that Lind's position in
Mexico will be an obstacle to peace,
according to the officials at the White
House and at the State Department.
They insist there that if the situation
was so serious as the press dis
patches describe it, Charge d'Affaires
O'Shaughnessey would have informed
the State Department. And it is be-
cause no word has come from him
that both the President and Secretary
