the Senate committee ON foreign re

foreign affairs, the message on the
Mexican situation which he vii. dellV-
er in person. tomorrow, to a ieint ses-
sion of both houses of Congress.
1t is a message of friendship. not hos
tility. and preeedes a policy of absolute
non-interference. 1t proelaims 10 the
world the sympat hetic feeling that the
United States government ana the
American people have for their neigh
bors in the rebellion torn republic south
of the Rio Grande. 1t records the Views
of the United States on constitutional
government, its unalterable opposition
to governments set up by the irregular
and arbitrary acts of ambitious Hlhl-
viduals and formally announces that
the government of Nictoriano Huefta
shall not be recognized. The eiforts oil
the United States to bring about a
peaceful settlement of the diflcuity
through the representations made by
John Lind, special envoy of the Pres
ident Wilson. are outlined as well as
the answer OF the Huerta government.
The United States had proposed that
a Constitutional election be held and
that Huerta should not be candl-
date. To these suggestions through
which the United States believes peace
could be restored, Huerta has replied
in the negative.
The delivery of the message is an es-
sential factor in the proclamation of the
American government to the world. 1t
is merely the announcement of policy
which will be maintained for years Ii
necessary until constitutional government
shall be re-established in Mexico me
effect of the message, it is hoped by ad-
ministration officials, will be to convince

Most Of the time of the Police

rest of John Pines, colored, on the
charge of assaulting two of her boys
who are employed at one of the glass
factories. r. D. Brumback repre-
scented the complainant
The alleged victims of the assault
said Pines used board upon them
and that a colored girl who had es-
poused the cause Of the boys was
shamefully treated by Pines.
The superintendent of the works
and two colored youths appeared as
witnesses for the defense. They said
Pines, who is employed at the plant,
merely pushed the boys from the
premises when they became obstrep-
erous; also that the girl who had
made the charge that she had been
shamefully treated by Pines had TAX
en- q razor from her stocking during
the melee presumably for the pur-
pose Of using it.
Justice Cation dismissed Pines.
