ORGANIZED DESIRE TO
BRING WAR, WILSON SAYS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IL
President Wilson let it be known to-
day that he was inclined to believe
there was an organized deSire-pro-
ceeding from sources unknown to him
to bring on a war between the UNI
ted States and Mexico. The President
does not regard the movement as eX-
tensive, but as very troublesome,
and referred to Misrepresentation
in some individual newspapers. He
indicated that he had read the speech
of Senator Williams on Saturday that
an organized lobby existed to involve
the United States in war.
There is no occasion for alarm in
the opinion of the President, who told
callers today that within the last
forty-eight hours the Mexican situa-
ton had improved materially. 1t was
made clear by the President to those
with whom he discussed the situation
that the instructions to John Lind, his
personal representative, were chiefly
to inform the American government
how things stood generally in Mexico
and Just what were the opportunities
for the good offices of the United
State in the interests of peace.
President Wilson mas no direct COM
munication either with the Huerta
government or the ConstitutionalistS
authority. and he indicated to his
callers today that he would welcome
more information about the purpose
of the Constitutionalists
1t was learned also thai the Presi-
dent has not yet formally considered
recognition of the Constitutionalists
but that insofar as territory alone
Is conserned he regarded that held
by the Constitutionalists as strong
enough in proportion to that con-
trolled by the Huerta government as
to make recognition of the Constitu-
tionalists not wholly unjustifiable from
a displomatic standpoint.
Further official reports of the ar
rival in Mexico City of John Lind,
President Wilson's personal envoy.
say ample precautions were taken by
the Mexican government to guard
against any demonstration. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lind went to a hotel because
the American Embassy was only
partly furnished.
The gunboat Nashville, at Norfolk
navy yard, probably will soon follow
the Tacoma, ordered last night for
use. The Tacoma is expected at
Vera Cruz Monday or Tuesday next
week.
There were evidences in the Senate
of a determination on the part of the
leaders to keep Mexican affairs out
of the debate Members of The FOR
eign relations committee said Pres,-
dent Wilson had exacted no prone
ise from them to that end, but they
were agreed the administration should
be allowed to carry out It's work fof
the next few days with as little en-
barraSsment as possible.

Fingerprints as
Clue to Murder

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Many New
York employment agencies take the
fingerprints of their applicants for
work. Upon this practise rested to-
day the hope of central office to iden-
tify the city's latest murder mystery
victim comely young woman,
whose mutilated body, still warm,
was found at midnight in marsh
near Spuyten Duyvil creek. Every
identifying mark on her clothing had
been effaced.
Experts from police headquarters
made imprints of her fingers at the
morgue today. Armed with these de-
tectives are searching the fingerprint
files of employment agencies on the
theory that she may have been a do
mestic servant. A stained jack-knife
and shoemaker's last found near
the body are believed to have been
used by her assailant and furnish
the only clues uncovered so far.

CURRENCY BILL IS
FOUGHT IN CAUCUS
Opposition Democrats Favor
Broadening Administration
Measure Note System.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Demo-
Gratis of the House faced long
struggle over the administration cur
rency bill when they caucused today
to consider the measure.
Chairman Glass, with ten Democrats
of the banking committee behind him,
and with the support of Representa-
tives Underwood and Palmer and
other administration leaders, went in
to the caucus hopeful of securing
harmonious support of the currency
bill as it has been approved by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Opposition to the bill was led by
Democrats who favored broadening
the system of issuing circulating
notes, so that they could be secured
upon warehouse receipts for corn,
wheat and cotton as well as upon
commercial paper as provided in the
Glass bill.
Representative Henry, of Texas;
Neeley, of Kansas and others led
that feature of the fight.

A GAME THAT WORKS.

Why is 1t that Tammany, after
stealing profusely from the city for
SO many generations, and wasting
much more than it steals, and being
the cause of burning hundreds of
people in buildings, and killing
thousands before their time from
disease, and making it harder for
everybody to keep his family alive,
should still be a favorite with the
masses? Mr.. Amos Pinchot has. in a
recent address, put the principle Of
Tammany success in a homely illus
tration:
There is a pane called ''stuss. =
which, as you may or you may not
know, is popular in many sections of
New York. From the secret of the
popularity of 'stuss" may be deduced
the cause of an important element in
Tammany's power
The loser at ''stuss'' is never al
lowed to leave the temple of chance
dead broke. At the door there is al
ways returned to him a percentage Of
his losses, and the unfortunate one
goes on his way with the feeling that
he is being taken care of, even in ad-
versity.
This bonus. given to the victims of
the tickle goddess. acting through
the agency of a carefully calculated
system, is called "viggrish.' The
Tammany-Wall street combination,
with its wholesale gratis and its re-
tail charitable district organization
work, is the counterpart of the
'stuss" joint and "viggrish' Tam
