ARMED INTERVENTION IN MEX
ICO NO LONGER POSSIBILITY
OR PROBABILITY.
TO ANNOUNCE POLICY
First Step in Policy Of United States
Toward Mexico Will Be Announced
Soon According to Secretary Of
State Bryan.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 4.-Sec-
retary of State Bryan has announced
the acceptance of the resignation Of
Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador TO
Mexico.
Wilson was called suddenly from
New York for conference here.
President Wilson let it be known
today that according to his view, it is
becoming more evident that armed
Intervention in Mexico neither is
probability or a possibility for the
peaceful solution of situation there,
The announcement soon Of the first
step in the policy of this government
toward Mexico is forecasted.
Bryan made the following state
ment: Wilson's resignation is accept
ed to take effect October Nth. The
part which he felt it his duty to take
in the earlier stages of the recent
revolution in Mexico would make It
difficult for him to represent the
views Of the present administration,
in view of the situation which now
exists" ....-
Wilson issued a statement, saying:
II believe the president and secre-
tary of state are actuated by the
highest patriotism and with the best
intention to both countries. I am
unaware of what solution Of the ex-
isting situation is proposed, but
trust it will be found satisfactory"

the gross revenue has been ordered
by the interstate commerce commits
sion to become effective on or before

Notable reforms in the practices
of the express companies were also
ordered. The most important change
is Pre- scribed in the modification OF
the present graduated scale or parcel
rates. Hundred pound rates for
short distances are either left un-
changed or slightly reduced.
For packages of over four hundred
pounds going over two hundred
miles and less than two thousand
miles, the now rates are generally
lower than the parcel post rates,
for over three thousand miles the
rates are practically the same by
prescribing the block system, dividing
the United States into nine hundred
and fifty blocks, averaging twenty
five hundred square miles.
Nine hundred million different rates
now published by the express com
panies will be reduced to less than
six hundred and fifty thousand and
the commission believes that the sys-

of the existing maze of freight rates.

INDIAN MOUND DESTROYED.
California Burial Place of Prehistoric
Man Is Razed

When the work of filling and bulk
heading Ellis Landing at the foot of
Tenth street, Richmond, is completed,
one Of the greatest archaeological
features of the state of California
will disappear forever.
There is situated on the property
at the foot of Twelfth street a shell
mound known to the scientific world
as Ellis Mound. The research con-
Quoted in this mound was part of the
regular investigation of the Prob
lens of Prehistoric Man in Califor-
mia" carried on by the department Of
anthropology of TIE University of Cal
itornia.
During the investigation OF Ellis
Mound 146 skeletons were obtained,
and it was estimated by Prof Nelson
that possibly as many as 10,09j skel-
etons were contained in the mound,
showing that it was the official bury
ing place of prehistoric man for ages.
Over $50 specimens of Implements
weapons and ornaments were f3und
in the mound by excavation, consist
ing Of spear points, pottery Charm
stones. shell jewelry, mortGr3 and
pestles, bowls needles and similar
articles made Of stone, bone, shell
and baked clay. Also curious wis
ties were discovered, made of tubular
bird bone. New York Sun.

CONVINCED HE WAS DEAD.
Mr.. Murphy Had to Admit the Force
of Mikes Argument.

Two Irishmen, both members Of the
building fraternity, were busily en-
gagged recently in a(fiXng states to
the roof of newly erected house,
when suddenly a horrid mishap oc-
cured
Murphy slipped. in vain he sought
for something at which to clutch in
order to save himself from falling.
His hands grasped nothing but empty
air, and by their frantic eXertions
caused Murphy completely to lose
his foothold.
So Murphy fell. Mike saw him
'all, and presently, after what SEEM
ed to him hours of hideous suspense,
heard his friends body strike the
ground with a dull thud.
Fearfully Mike leaned over the edge
of the roof.
Are yez dead, Murphy?' he called
in apprehensive tones.
"Oh, Oi'm aloive all right" gasped
Murphy feebly.
Mike gazed at the PROSTATE body
wonderingly:
Sure, don't know whether to be-
lieve you or not" he remarked. you
always was a liar!'
Painfully Murphy raised himself on
one elbow.
"Then OHM dead" he walled.
You'd never dare call me a liar were

| BY revoking the order 20 Ciam,ss
the suits the governor believes the
status of the appeal to the supreme
court is preserved. In that case there
rests the vital question of whether the
governor, who appoints members to
state board under the educational
act, has power to remove them from
office prior to submission of their
names to the senate for confirmation.
The district court held that he did not,
and that therefore the 1912 adoptions
were legally made. From this decis-
ion, which also embraced an injunc-
t,Cnal order against the present state
board Of education making a new five
year adoption, the state board of ed
ucation appealed to the supreme
court.
Criticises State Superintendent
State Superintendent Wilson's atti-
tude last night was wholly at war
with the position he has heretofore
assumed" said Gov. Cruce. "It has
always been his contention that the
governor of the state had nothing to
do with approval of the contracts, yet
he secures their approval by Col. Nc
Alester assuming to act as governor
and now declares that closes the in
cident and validates all of the CON
tracts. / do not understand such to
be the case"
Before any Of the pardons signed
by the lieutenant governor last night
reached the state penitentiary Gov.
Cruce gave notice to Warden Dick
that they were not to be recognized
and not to release the prisoners. The
governor believes he has authority
to recall any pardon before it becomes
effective by service upon the prison
official, and the mere fact which gov
ernor originally issues it does not
control. In each instance "the gov
ernor" is assuming to act. It is ex-
pected that tomorrow habeas corpus
proceedings will be instituted for re-
lease OF the prisoners, when this
question will be presented.
The lieutenant governors action
last night came as a sort of jolt to the
PEOPLE this morning. 1t developed that
had his presence in town and the alb
sence of Governor Cruce from the
state been generally known there
would have been many other applica-
tions for pardons of prison inmates.

CATHOLIC CHURCH BLOWN UP.
Morenci, Ariz5 Authorities Believe
Mexican Socialist Responsible.

Clifton, Ariz., Aug. S.-The Cath
olic church at Morenci, near here,
was almost totally wrecked early to-
day by the explosion of dynamite.
This was the second attempt at de-
struction, the first having been un-
successful.
The bomb was placed under the
main building of the church. Father
Call, who was asleep in an apartment
of the church, was thrown from his
bed but escaped injury.
Officers are proceeding on the
theory that the work was that of a
young Mexican who recently had
sworn to destroy all institutions
maintained by contributions from the
working class.

The band was at the station to greet
him. He was escorted to an auto
mobile in waiting and Immediately
went tC the scene OF the ceremonies
at the junction of A street, north
west and the right of way.
]. S. Mullen acted as master OF
ceremonies and the governor was the
principal speaker of the occasion.
President Hamon, Judge Freeman and
J. r. Pennington also made short
addresses, eulogizing the enterprise
and prophesying great things for the
future of the city. The governors
stay in the city was limited. He
was compelled to take the north
bound Santa Fe at o'clock for Ok
lahoma City where events of the past
few days are requiring his personal
attention.
The Ringing road is the sole topic
of discussion nowadays and as the
work progresses the most pessimistic
person in the city cannot but OBJ
serve that there is an entirely chang
ed expression in the tone of CONVEX
sation INDUCED in by the business
men OF the city, good times are pre-
dicted and with bumper corps as
sured there is cause for better feel
ing among business interests than
for many years in the past.
The honor of driving the first
spike was divided between Governor
Cruce and President Harmon, after the
first spike had been driven home by
them the following named gentlemen
took turns about driving one spike
each: Mayor w. r. Roberts, Secre-
tary West CT the Commercial Club,
Col Sidney sudgs, state highway
commissioner, Charles Won Weiss, J.
S. Mullen and ]. B. Moore. Like
wise the following who were guaran-
tors on the bond for the bonus: =.
A. Simpson, J. r. Pennington, A. V.
IJoak, J. NJ. Baird, ]. A. Bivens, J.
r. Dexter, c. p. VanDenverg and j.
e. McCarty.
BY order Of the mayor all the stores
of the city were closed from 10 TO
. o'clock ard all business men and
their employees were present at the
ceremonies.
On account of the limited time the |
governor was here he was kept too .
busy attending to the business in
hand to talk of the events that tran
spired while he was temporarily alb
sent from the state. He merely re
iterated his statement of yesterday
which was given to the press of Ok
lahoma City that for the remainder
of his administration he would re-
main in Oklahoma and not give mis-
enemies another chance to undo his
labor.

ing that the litigation was still pend

any attempt to put in operation the
supposed contract until the courts
finally determine the matter will be
rgardd as an affront to tie state.
The governor adds that he will take
steps to prevent the book companies
from acting otherwise, and asks
them whether they expect to avait
the decision of the court or attempt
to follow the advice of the state su-
