Gated Roger Thompson. chauffeur-com-
panion of Harry X. Thaw, has departed

The secretary asserted that he had Of

The establishment was begun on May

by an official of the Department of JUS

eggs and chickens to the prison, and es-

Increase in Drinks.

From the Detroit News
Last year the aggregate consumption
of spirituous liquors in the United States
increa sed to the extent of $4,000 gallons
over that of the previous year At the
same time the consumption of beer IN
creased by more than 1.OO0.COO barrels.
Judging from a superficial survey Of
the consumption the average man is
drinking less today than the average
man Of twenty-five years ago. The pro-
portion of habitual "bOoZers'' is consider
ably smaller. partly because men sd-
dicted to such habits are more and muTe
handicapped when they seek employ
ment. The increased consumption is
probably attributable partly to the natu-
raj increase of population. but mostly by
the fact that an astonishing number CT
women have become habitual users II
both spirituous and malt liquors.
The most remarkable increase of luxu-
rious consumption is to be noted IN

likely that there will be considered In
the next few days a supplementary
statement to be given out by the ad-
ministration amplifying the Presidents
meaning and Intentions with regard to
American citizens now in Mexico.
The Americans affected by what they
regard as the Presidents mandate have
stated so forcefully what 1t means to
them to obey literally the President s
warning that the administration is about
convinced that they are entitled to
something more specific than the Pres
idents rather general statement in his
message to Congress.
Large numbers OF Americans in many
parts of Mexico are unable to see in
the immediate situation in their vicinity
any reason why they should abandon all
their properties and business enterprise
and come to the United States, where
they have no means OF self-support. In
many places in Mexico there are but few
evidences OF the disor-ers raging through
the greater part of the country, and
Americans IN these more quiet districts
are reluctant TO throw up the sponge
and depart without being shown some
good reason for so doing.
Fear. Loss of Property.

teen received here, the situation in the
case of many Americans is, that while
they are inclined to believe the Presi-
dent must have some good reason for
warning them to get out, they do not
feel that they can afford to abandon
their possessions and means Of liveli-
hood until they have either been shown
the Presidents reasons for his warn
ing, or have perceived something in their
local situations which would make a
hasty departure advisable.
The Americans are asking how literally
they are to take the Presidents words.
They want to know II It is desired that
they come out Of Mexico at once, or
whether the President intended merely
that they should prepare themselves for
flight to the United States. Individual
cases laid before the State Depa rtment
have raised most perplexing questions
as TO the disposition Of property and
business assets in case the owners there
of act promptly on the Presidents warn
ing. Many Americans declare that they
stand to lose much or all that they
POSSESS by leaving now, and are inquir-
ing what their government is prepared
To do Ia enable them to preserve their
property rights in Mexico in case of
quitting the country. According to re-
ports received here. many Americans
have elected to remain where they are
until the Washington administration
throws more light on the situation az
they view il from afar
As far as the general situation IS
Washington is waiting on
developments. What is most hoped for
is that the Hucrta government will
invite John Lind back to Mexico City
from Vera Cruz. and renew with him
the discussion of the Presidents pro-
DoSals. Just how much ground there
exists for the retention Of this hope
has not been made clear, and with each
days passing with no move made by
the Huerta government toward a re-
OF the discussions the pes
simism in Washington increases.

Missionaries Make Protest.

The attention of Secretary Bryan was
called yesterday to the fact that mission
aries were protesting against the fight
of Americans from Mexico. Secretary
Bryan said:
so far as the department knows,
there is no question of this kind before
it. We have nothing on the subject Of
cially. The department has nothing to
say on the subject"
1t is understood that the number Of
American refugees from Mexico is in
creasing so rapidly that Secretary
Bryan probably will go to Congress this
week and lay the question Of increasing
expense before the committee charged
with making the appropriation.

Officials Fear Demonstrations.

Secretary Bryan said last night that
nothing Of importance had occurred
with respect to Mexico in the last
twenty -four hours. so far as he has
been advised. He remained at hE
house all day, following his return
from his lecture trip. and had brought
to him there all important mail and
telegra ms. As today is holiday. it
is expected that nothing will be done
beyond caring for the routine mes
sages to and from Mexico.
officials Of the administration In close
touch with the Mexican situation ad-
mitted last night that they had been ap-
prehensive for fOrty-eight hours of dis
turbances in Mexico City eliminating in
anti-Amcrican demonstrations, and they
were greatly relieved when no reports
of disorder were received during the day.
They admitted that fear of danger was
much better founded today than when
John Lind was en- route to the Mexican
capital. BY this they mean President
Wilson'S message has been digested and
the Mexican papers have eulogized
Huerta for his stand, this having a ten
dency to infiame the popular mind
against Americans.
The Washington herald., 1913-09-01
ArmN MnNemcnts CnnSc Cnnce

Another cause OF concern to the ad-
the rearranEement of the Mexican army,
which President Huerta says amounts
TO eighty thousand men. There has been
no official statement made by the War
Department and Navy Department as to
the real strength of this Mexican army.
but il is. known that the admirals and
commanders along the line and other
United States authorities were ordered
long ago to send in some definite reports
as 20 the strength of the Mexican army
and its equipment.
1t was noted that the Mexicans are
establishing new army headquarters at
the places where entrance would be
made by an enemy into their country.
For instance, headquarters have been
from Peubla to Vera Cruz. Concentra-
ton is TO lake place at Acapulco. which
is a port of call for American ships and
where there is a strong anti-American
sentiment. ManzanillO will become a new
station to which the forces will be with
drawn from Gudala jata.
The announce :nent that Gen. Macadeo
will be transferred from Chihuahua is
the most puzzling to experts. because by
the concentration of the FedeTals at
Juarez they apparently abandon the con-
troll of Chichuahua and Torreon and the
road from the interior to Mexico City to
the COnSHtutionalists.
On its face, the movement looks like a
plan to defend the country.
From another point Of view it would
appear that the Mexicans are determined
to drive the Constitutonalists every
where from the border and cut them of
even from a chance of supplies, keeping
all strong bodies of rebels away from the
important ports or frontier customs
houses.

AN INSIDE VIEW.

An interesting experiment is TO be
tried by Thomas Mort Osborne. Mr.
Osborne is chairman Of the New York
state commission on prison reform
and is quite conspicuous as an enemy
OF Tammony The idea he has is TO
supplement what has been discovered
by looking AT criminology from the
outside or by getting the view from
the inside out.
Alr. Osborne has given himself an
inSeterasinate sentence 10 Auburn
prison. He viii become a convict in
every sense but one. He Will not be
a criminal serving time for an onense
against the laws. He proposes TO
live and work as the convicts live and
work and 10 be subject TO the same
rules during his Incarceration.
What be wants 20 find out is
whether the prison system is intelli-
gent whether il flies in the face Of
