FOR WAY TO QUIT

DIV 1Hc L0llEu AAFh9a
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-President
Wilson was told by his personal in
vestigstor, DR.. William Bayard Hale
today, that the success Of the admin
istration's policy is about to be prov
en-. Fresh from Mexico City, where
he was in constant touch with John
Lind, the Presidents special envoy,
Hale gave the President the first
hand information as to the Huerta
regime that he has so anxiously
sought.
1t was understood Hale told the
President that despite the flamboyant
tone of Minister Gamboas communi-
cations to this government. President
Huerta having saved his face is
now casting about for graceful
means of capitulating to the unwav-
ering demands of the Wilson admins
tration that he shall not be a candi-
date for the post of constitutional
president at the October elections.
Secretary Bryan was present at the
conference between the President and
DR.. Hale and seemed satisfied that
his attitude of optimism was about to
be justified.
Administration officials indicate
their belief today that not only is
Huerta to make definite announce
ment of his determination ont to run
for the presidency. but he may resign
the provisional presidency If he can
find a successor who will be friendly
to his into ,ests.

SAYS BRIDGE
WORK WOULDN'T
DESTROY PARK

Since the question of condemning a
portion of Christiana Park as site
for one approach to the proposed new
bridge to be built across the Chris
tiana River at Third street has been
before the public, many questions
have been asked regarding the size
of the Christiana Park According to
plans it contains / $4,000 acres. 1t
has a frontage of $40 feet on Fourth
street. 1S6 feet four inches on Church
street and 267 feet on Third street
The proposed now bridge is to con-
tain a trolley track, driveway and a
sidewalk on each side. Under the
plans as prepared by County Engineer
Wilson the bridge approach would
begin at grade and elevate at a per
cent grade, being a tribe more than
the grade Of Market street between
Fourth and Fifth streets.
IL is said none OF the trees in the park
would be damaged or removed because of
the bridge work and on each side Of the
approach would remain sufficient land
for small parks The sides Of thea bridge
approach would be similar to the Court
House lawn, making a decidedly fine
shedding place. where there would be nc
danger to coasters.
The commission has nothing to dc
with the right Of the approach OF
whether Fourth or Third street is the
best street to lead to the bridge. The
benefits and loss to the city by the con
demnation of the lease of the Park Com
mission is the question before the com
mission

MUST NOT TAKE
LAW IN THEIR
OWN HANDS
Deputy Judge JOSlyn Gives
Advice to Defendants in
City Court
THEN IMPOSES
FINES ON THEM

Deputy Judge Joslyn spent some
time in City Court today explaining
that persons who lose their sense Of
reasoning in anger. have no authority
to take the law in their own hands to
right wrongs. either fancied or real.
His remarks were directed at James
Oakes and Frank Tilghman, the lat
ter colored, each accused of assault
and battery. Oaks was charged with
punching and choking Lewis P. Cal
lagher, of the southwest corner of
Fouth and Franklin street, and Thigh
man was accused of making the head
of John f. Lewis, also colored, a
target for brick bats.
In the Oakes case, both defendant
and plaintiff stable horses at the
same place, and the trouble between
the men, brewing for some time, be-
came acute when Oakes accused
Gallagher of Intentionally throwing
lhay down on him They had words
and Cakes struck Gallagher and later
Ichoked him.
The defendant defended his actions
on the ground that Gallagher aggra-
waited him beyond the reasoning
point. The court told him he had
redress by having Gallagher arrest
ed. but the law did not give him the
power to impose the punishment him
self.
Tilghman said he struck Lewis
with bricks because the latter kick
ed him in the stomach while they
were sparring at Fifth and DUPONT
streets. The court told the defendant
he also had redress at law but try
ing TO kill people by throwing bricks
was a dangerous pastime
In disposing of the two cases the
court fined Oakes SIS and costs and
iTilghman $40 and costs.
, There we're number of regulars in
court today accused of drunkenness
and several fines Of SIS and $40 we're
imposed. Two defendants who came
in the latter class were Ezekiel Lind
say. colored and George Turner.
The charge Of breach of the peace
against William Kinsler, preferred by
his wife, was held up on his promise
to take the pledge tc abstain from
intoxicating liquors.
Jacob Maleszewski and Frank Jen-
kot, young men, accused Of assault
and battery, were dismissed for lack
of evidence.
