DEMOCRATS DODGE VOTE
INDORSING PARTY PLANK
ON MEXICAN SITUATION

A plank from the Democratic national
platform, expressing the sense of the
Senate, offered resolution by Sena-
tor Fall of New Mexico, a Republican,
yesterday stirred the Upper House. Ma
jority Leader Kern declared that il was
offered under suspicious circumstances. -
The plank reads:
That the constitutional right of
American citizens should protect them
on our borders and go with them
throughout the world, and every Ameri-
can citizen residing or having property
in any foreign country is entitled to, and
should be given. the full protection of
the American government. both for him
self and for his property
This allusion to the delicate Mexican
situation coming while Secretary Bryan
was discussing that topic with the For
eign Relations Committee, in a nearby
room, brought the Democrats to their
feet.
Il object to present consideration %
said Senator Kern.
Does the Senator object to the pres
ent consideration of a plank of his par
tvs national PLATFORM retorted Fall.
Yes because of the suspicious Cir
cumstances' Kern answered.
II want to read the rest of the Demo-
cratic plank on that subject" Fall con-
tinued.
Since when has the Senator become
an exponent of the Democratic plat
for?" queried Senator Overman.
Since the American people were in
duced by distinguished present men,
ber of the Cabinet to let him lead them
out Of the wilderness" answered Fall,
land since he has seen fit to leave his
post of duty in this matter and go out
on the lecture platform"
No quorum appeared when the Demo-
Gratis attempted to prevent a re-reading
of the resolution. When the quorum
was obtained the plank. again was read.
and no objection by Kern, the resolu-
ton went over.
So far as tn administration was con-
cerned, things were at a standstill in
regard to the Mexican situation. 1t Is
expected there will be no change in the
governments policy until Ambassador
Wilson arrives from Mexico for con-
ference at the White House.

Italian Minister Recalled.
Mexico City. July 1s;-The Italian min
lister to Mexico has. been recalled by
his government. 1t was learned here
today that he secretly left here last
night for Vera Cruz. Significance is at
tached to the departure Of the Italian
minister. who. judging from the haste
in which he departed, was urgently or
dered to get to Rome at the earliest
moment.
This action is doubly impressive on
account of the fact. that Francis
Stronge. the British minister, has been
succeeded by another and will leave
here for London in a few days.
Mexico is becoming the storm center
OF International diplomacy. apparently.
because of the attitude of the United
States and the condition of growing
anarchy here.

night of Felix Diaz, as special commits
sioner to Japan. rumors were circulated

Ty Cobb are noticeable within the

Cobb might hold out indefinitely
for that $4,000. which the Detroit
management says it, won't pay him,
but if he can hold out while another
man is annexing the honors which
have been his for 10, these many
years, then, he is a different Cobb
from the one who has made baseball
history.
