Washington, D. c., June 25.-De-
spite President Wilson's decisive
action in the Diggs-Caminetti scan
dial, a full investigation by the House
is likely.
Rep. Kahn, of California, today de-
clared that he still was of the opinion
that the House should require all the
papers in the case.
Chairman Clayton of the judiciary
committee answered this by saying
that he would expect Kahn to appear
before his committee tomorrow to
speak in behalf of his demand, and
would permit the member from Cal
ifornia to introduce whatever evil
dence he desired in support of his
plea that the attorney general be or
dered to stand and deliver all the evil
dence in the case now in his hands.
81 think the entire correspondence
in the case should be made public"
said Kahn, today. THE statements
issued at the White House contain
only excerpts. The House is entitled
to see all the evidence"
Rep. Hinebaugh, the Illinois Pro-
gressive, who introduced a motion
similar to Kahn's, is satisfied and
will not press his motion.
''The purpose of my resolution is
carried out if the attorney general
orders that the Diggs-Caminetti
cases and the Western Fuel case go
to immediate trial" said Hinebau0h.
Meantime Minority Floor Leader
Mann and other Republicans are cir
culating stories about bribery and
corruption, and whispering darkly
that it is no more than could be
expected. 1t is evident that the Re
publicans intend to make all the po-
itical capital out of the case they
can,

President Wilson has taken his
stand and appears to think the case
settled so far as he is concerned ex-
cept for the appointment of a prose-
cutor in the Diggs-Caminetti and
Western Fuel cases.
1t is not certain whom the presi-
dent has decided to appoint, but there
is a well-grounded rumor to the eff
feet that it will be Francis J. Heney,
the man who sent Boss Abe Ruef of
San Francisco to the penitentiary.
Heney is a Republican. It is felt
by many that if Wilson should ap-
point Heney it will do much to Off
set the folly of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds remark that "McNab was
another Republican officeholder
gone and he was not shedding any
tears"
Heney now is on a Santa Fe train
en- route to Los Angeles. He will
arrive there tomorrow morning.
Wilson acted with his usual de-
cisiveness yesterday afternoon fol-
lowing meeting of the cabinet.
He accepted District Attorney Nc
Nab's Of San Francisco resignation.
He sent letter to Attorney General
McReynOlds thanking him for the
Information" McReynolds had sup
piled him with. He suggested that it
would be an excellent idea that a
special prosecutor be appointed to
put the Diggs-Caminetti and West
ern Fuel Co. cases on trial immedi-
ately and that McReynolds confer
with him to that end.
1t was quite evident that, while he
was standing by his cabinet officer,
the President did not approve of that
cabinet officers course of action.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. S.-One hundred
and fifty soldiers from Columbus bar
racks passed through this city today
for service near Texas city. Although
there is no definite information to that
effect it is rumored that a general mo-
vement of troops will take place to-
wards the Mexican border within a few
days. The public in this part of the
country declare that nothing but war
can result from the attitude which
Huerta has assumed in dealing with

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-Defying
the United States and actually making
counter demands while rejecting the
proposals of President Wilson, the pre-
sident of Mexico now turns the tables
and takes the offensive against this
country. Accompanying the reading
of the message by President Wilson to
congress today was the announcement
that Huerta has not only rejected the
proposals of this country but that he
has made the counter proposal that the
United States do it's part as "a foreign
government only to see to it that the
rebellion in Mexico is not aided
The reply of the Mexican president
TO the proposals Of this country were
read in company with the presidents
message, This reply of Huerta totally
rejected the proposals and suggested
an alternative policy as follows:
THE Mexican ambassador to be re-
ceived at Washington as in ordinary
circumstances; the United States to
send IA new ambassador to Mexico City
without being restrained from per-
sador as they would be performed at
any time and under peaceful circum-
stances; the United States to observe
strict neutrality in connection with
the rebellion in Mexico and to see to it
that no material or monetary assis-
fance be given to the Mexican rebels
until matters have been brought to
such a condition that the government
of Huerta can be recOgnized.'
This is regarded as one of the most
consummate pieces of effrontery in
history. Huerta in effect actually
meets the proposals of President Will
son by telling President Wilson and
his government to keep it's hands off
Mexican affairs and to do it's duty by
preventing the giving of aid to rebels
The president read his message at
joint session at one o'clock today. He
declared that it was necessary for him
to lay the facts before congress and
that it was impossible to describe the
deplorable condition into which Mex
lean affairs had fallen.
Continuing he said:
Il should urge all Americans to leave
Mexico Immediately. We will assist
them to leave as far as possible, not
that we intend to slacken our efforts
to safeguard their lives and their in
terests but because it is imperative
that we take no risk"
AS he concluded the president deliv-
cred solemn warning to Mexico
which was none the less solemn ana
unmistakeable because it was couched
in language of calm deliberation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The Uni
ted States embassy in Mexico City and
the United States consular representa-
tiyes all over the Mexican republic
have been instructed to notify the
Mexican officials, both military and
civil, that they will be held responsible
for any injury or harm to American
citizens. This instruction was sent
out last evening after the presenta-
ton of the message of President Will
son to congress. 1t is tantamount to
a warning to Mexico itself.
The congressional leaders have de-
manded further information from the
administration as to the status of the
Mexican affair at present. They state
that it is necessary for the administra-
ton to decide on some fixed policy in
the matter or that criticism is GER
tain to follow on the part OF the peo-
