Well, all the Americans and most of

Whenever you read of Americans be-
ing molested, you may be sure they
have gotten involved in Mexican al
fairs, or have been the victims of ma
rauding bands of guerillas, or high
waymen, like Zapata and his follow
ers. So long as Americans look after

to hold an election with the country

will have strong following. The peo-

of the name, and it appears to me
that the old Gen. Porfiro Diaz, who
ruled with an iron hand so many
years, had the secret of the proper

"Thaw will be out of Canada within
a week. The intervention of the attor-

of Justice Hutchinson makes no differ

postpones it for a few days"
Thaw's lawyers admitted that the
situation left them no great hope, but
said that in the time before the dec1s-

to evolve new plan.
"Well it does look rather gloomy"
said Thaw, "but am not going to make
any complaint, no matter what the
outcome. They'll never get me back

HUERTA'S SCHEME
IS WAR MEASURE
Moves to Protect Mexican
Frontier Or Use Army to
Further Political Ends.
MR.. BRYAN DEPARTS
Makes Interesting Statement to Sena-

Property Damage.
MR.. BRYAN DEPARTS

Washington. Sept. 1.-THE supreme
effort Of President Huerta TO mobolIze
a new and greater army in Mexico is
distinctly and undeniably a war meas
ure
"This act of President Huerta is the
logical consequence of the patent
threat of Huerta in Gamboa's second
note to Mr.. Lind in which he practi-
cally broke off communication from
Mexico to the United States through
Mr. Lind
ITO military men. President Huer-
ta's scheme is on its face one to pri-
marily protect his frontier or to show
to this government that Huerta may
not only do that but may use his army
for any other purpose that his politi-
cal life and emergency may demand"
These opinions, based on facts, are
the explanations of a War Department
authority of the frantic effort being
made by Huerta to present the boldest
point possible to the Mexican people
and to show them that he has no fear
Of Intervention.
The military men who have made
the calculation say that there is about
one soldier for every three miles Of
territory and that the prevention of
ammunition or arms going across the
border by such force is simply impos-
sible The whole scheme of Huerta
in the mind of military men is mat
he will first control the army. Being
thus the military master of the situa-
ton and virtually the dictator of Next
60 he will resign as provisional presi-
dent and thus qualify himself in his
opinion as a candidate for reelection
notwithstanding the message of Presi-
dent Wilson on that subject. 1t wound
be an almost safe prediction that with
the army and the election machinery
in his hands Huerta would be elected
president and create situation which
would be an actual defiance Of Presi-
dent Wilson who has demanded as a
condition precedent to peace in Mexi-
CO, the elimination of Huerta as a can
didate. President Wilson's only an
sWer to this would have to be force to
make good his demands through En-
voy Lind.
Secretary Bryan, who left here this
afternoon again on lecture tour, said
to Senator Swanson, of Virginia, and
Chairman Flood, of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, that the United
States would exact PREPARATION from
Mexico for damage to the property of
American citizens who leave Mexico.
The question came up on a categorical
demand from large sugar estate near
Vera Cruz, whose owners wanted to
know what would be their remedy if
they obeyed the presidents message.
The State Department gave out to-
day a part of the report from Consul
Ham, at Durango, several weeks ago,
telling of the outrages done by the
rebels who took and sacked Durango.

injury Monday afternoon when the
horse which they were driving on
Olive street took fright and ran
away, throwing both from the buggy.
Mrs. Lusby suffered only few NIL
nor bruises, while the little boy was
badly bruised about the head. A phy-

boy and dressed his wounds, winch
will not prove serious. The buggy

CANADA RESENTS
THAW'S BOAST
Matteawan Fugitive Will Be
Sent Out Of Canada, But
Will Fight in Vermont.
ADMITS IT'S GLOOMY
Justice Hutchinson Takes Habeas
Corpus Case Under Amusement.
Await Decision.

Sherbrooke, Que, Sept. 1.-THE pro-
vince of Quebec today unraveled the
tangle of red tape that had been WOW
en- about Harry X. Thaw by his cohort
of high priced Canadian and Ameri-
can lawyers. AS result the interna-
tional prisoner will soon be out of the
Dominion and back on American ter
ritory either within Matteawan asy-
lum or in the little Jail at Newport,
Vermont
Justice Hutchinson on Thursday
will hand down his decision on the APP
plication for a writ Of habeas corpus.
filed by the American agents seeking
ThaW's return to Matteawan, through
John Boudreau, the Coaticook chief of
police.
The Dominion officials believe the
writ will be sustained despite the ar
guments made by Thaw's lawyers at
the three hours hearing today, and
that Thaw will soon be over the Dor
der.
However, if the writ is overthrown,
Canada intends to get rid of the pris-
oner. In that case the attorney gener-
al of Quebec, Sir Gouin, who is also
premier, will call special session of
the court and grand jury of Sher
tvy N or
indicted or set free. The latter will
undoubtedly be the case, although if
Thaw were indicted there would be an
easy way to get rid of him.
The attorney general could then take
a "nolle pros" before the special court
and Thaw would be liberated He
would be unable to stay in his Jail
refuge here under any circumstances.
Fears that Thaw would be able to
delay justice by an appeal from any
adverse decision in the habeas corpus
writ, were set at rest when it was Of
sion of the court that hears appeals
could be called if necessary.
The minute that Thaw is out of Jail
here he will be seized by immigration
officials The belief has been growing
that because of Thaws action in max
ing Canada the scene of his fight the
| immigration department is inclined to
show him much less sympathy than
would otherwise be the case ana tnat
therefore the fugitive will be sent ov-
er the border at Rous' Point, which
would make his return to Matteawan
simple.
Aimee GeoffriOn, who, as special
representative of the Quebec premier,
intervened in the case today and
fought the Thaw lawyers at every
step, made it plain that Sir Lomer is
resolved that the prisoner will no
longer be allowed to boast that he has
'outwitted the Canadian authorities
and stood them on their heads"
All the other officials endorsed the
views of the premier's agent. E. Blake
Robinson, assistant superintendent OF
immigration, said tonight:

WOMAN TALKS Of
MEXICAN TROUBLES
Mrs. J. E. Lockhart Saws
There Should BE No
intervention.
AMERICANS DO WE'LL
Declares That There Are Some Dis
turbanccs But Foreigners Do
Not TaIk Of War.
AMERICANS DO WELL

Little Rock. Sept . american
citizens in Mexico resent the orders
that have been given by the govern
ment at WASHINGTON to leave that
country. We are getting along all
right down there if they will only
leave us alone"
That is the declaration of Mrs, !.
f. Lockhart, formerly Miss Kittie
Matthews, daughter Of W d. Mat
thews, for years editor OF the State
Republican, now a resident OF Mem
phis. Mrs. Lockhart arrived Satur-
day from her home near Chihuahua
and is visiting her sister, Mrs. r. W.
Kirkwood at Twenty second and
Summit. She will leave for Memphis
Wednesday, and does not know how
long she will stay in the states.
The story that Mrs. Lockhart tells
of war-ridden Mexico is different
from that related by many Of the
refugees. For five years they have

Lockhart being assistant superaten-
dent there Under normal conditions
it is only an eight hour ride by raj to
lEl Paso, but this trip required five
days and five nights, under military
escort. The. train did not run at
night. Very little evidence of the
rebels, or Constitutionalists was seen
along the road, except at one place
where fifteen. or twenty new-made
graves attested recent battle, and
that several bridges We're burned
along the route Train service is
very uncertain. For two months last
summer no trains ran from ElPaso to
Chihuahua, and now they are at
tempting to run only every fifteen
days. The smelters depend upon the
railroads to bring in coal and coke,
and unless the supply is replenished, it
may be necessary to close down the
smelters by October /. 1t is valu-
able lead and silver property. There
are about ten American families
located at the smelter, and about a
thousand Mexican laborers. A very
small number of the MeXicans have
ever joined either side.
1--WE have no complaint to make
what ever,' said Mrs. Lockhart, land
bitterly resent being driven away
from our homes. We have never
been troubled by either the Federals
of the Constitutionalists, in fact we
have been treated lovely by them. IF
it were not for the interruption OF
the railway and mail services, we
would hardly know there is war on.
"But the Americans never talk
politics. They leave that for the
Mexicans. All that the Americans
ask is that they be let alone. But it
ed States intervene. Then the
Federals and the Constitutionalists
would unite against the invader, and
the American colonist would be the !
first to suffer. or course the United |
States would win in the end, but |
thousands of innicent lives would be
sacraficed. We do not want inter-
vention-there has been no occasion
for intervention.

the waters in the entire canal up to

emergency should arise. the entire
Atlantic battleship feet could be put

within 60 days from that date. The

has existed, but this assurance is an
