ARRESTED CHARGED
With GOSSIPPING

Marinette, Wis, Sept. 23.-One OF
Wisconsin's strange laws passed by the
last legislature, commonly known as
the Gossip law, was first applied today
when a warrant was issued for the "a
rest of Peter Kesoski of Niagara.
The law provides that gossip shall b.
subject to legal penalties under the
same conditions as SANDER, though
with milder punishment, the amount OF
malice in the conservation being the
distinguishing point between ISLANDER
and gossip.
The arrest follows the charge that
Kesoski called Rosa Burney of Niagara
an unsavory name in the conservation
with friends in a barroom.

GIRL SAYS Her own
MOTHER TRIES TO
MAKE HER "SLAVE"
Lillian Walsh, Who Declares
She's 70, Relates SOrdid
Story to Police

New Orleans, La; Sept 23.-AsserC-
| ing that her mother had tried to make
her lead a life of white slave, Lillian
Walsh, an attractive young woman
who insists that she is 10, but whose
mother gives her age at II today told
the police a revolving story of her life.
On complaint made to the police by
her mother the girl was arrested early
this morning in company with Daniel
Donnelly, of 619 Julia street Donnelly
is employed to guard Ferdinand V
Gesquet, who was declared of unsound
mind, and who is a patient in Tour2
infrmary.
my mother had me arrested because
she wants to keep me at home" the
girl told Captain Conan "She wanted
to make a white slave out of me-"
The girl charged her mother with
being responsible for the immoral life
she has been leading and with at
| tempting to stay her in her efforts to
reform and follow the righteous path.
"My mother wants to keep me home
for her own purposes" said the girl
when l left my house with Donnelly
| she insulted Donnelly and gave me ii
good tongue flashing. There was a
man in my house with whom my moth
| er wanted me to go. She wanted to
make white slave out of me. l love
Donnelly and | believe he intends to
do what is right. Donnelly is sepa-
rated from his wife, and told me he
was going to get divorce next week
and marry me. l believe in him.
The girl admitted that she was
wronged when she was only about IL
years of age, while she was employed
in cheap lodging house in ST. Charles
street. She said two married women
from Texas induced her to go with
them and three men. They went to 4
rooming house in Baronne street,
where the men and women drank Il
quor. She said she took a glass Of
cream soda" and after drinking it she
felt faint and depressed. She is ce :
tain that the beverage was drugged.
Superintendent Reynolds has taken
cognizance of the story told by thu
girl and intends probing it, She told
Captain Conan further that her moth
er has often warned her and her
younger sister against telling their
correct ages. Her sister, she says, $
seventeen years of age, although the
mother claims the girl is but nfteen.
The case is a very peculiar one. TIL :
police are investigating every praise
of it, and further charges may follow.
Donnelly would say nothing for pub

he would stand pat on the statement
made by the girl
See her" he said, "and she will tell

MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES.

An official denial from the City Of
Mexico Of the statement that the |
Huerta government has demanded
that the United States grant immedi-
ate recognition with the alternative
Of the withdrawal Of the passport Of
the diplomatic representative there
relieves the situation Of immediate
tension. 1t does not; however, solve
the problem with which the United
States is confronted. A solution is
yet to be found in the City OF Mexi-
co or ia this city. Denial Of pub
lished intention 10 sever diploma
tic relations, failing American recog-
milton, raises question Of the source
Of the information which this morn
ing startled the country into the be-
lief that the crisis in our relations
with Mexico had come, with the pos
sibility of war acutely imminent. To
what end is this misrepresentation :
Is there deliberate purpose to force
the administration into hostile actions
Is there deception in Mexico City
'pecting the purposes Of that gov
eminent 10 order to confuse the is
sues and embarrass the United State
in its efforts TO restore peace?
II must be acknowledged that
the sending Of Special Envoy Lind
TO Mexico City was not regarded
generally as an assured means Of re-
storing order or securing a working
basis for effective mediation. On
the other hand il was recognized as a
expedient, perhaps exposing the Un-
tied States to precisely the embar-
EASEMENT that has been indicated in
the dispatches from the Mexican cap
ital, now formally denied. 1t was,
in Short forlorn hope, and nothing
has occurred since Mr.. Lind landed
at Vera Cruz to change that aspect
Of the case or to increase the chances
Of success. The only favorable factor
has been that Lind has been secure
from molestation and that the Huerta
government has consented to receive
MS note conveying the proposals Of
this countr, looking to peace.
1t has been intima'ed that if as the
-esult Of a rejection by Huerta of the
Lind mission the mediation of the
United States fails this government
will Withdraw the embargo on the
tmportasiou of arms, thus giving the
constituttioaalists an advantage in
tha civil war now raging. This, how
sver, will not settle the question. 1t
VIII not insure a stable government
in Mexico even though it makes an
immed ate change of administration
there possible. 1t will not establish
guarantees Of security for American
or European citizens residing 10 Mex
leo or investors with large interests
there. In short, the whole Mexican
problem is one of pro onged difficulty
and while there may De doubt as to
the efficacy Ct the Presidents moves
for its solution, there should be I'M
isersal disposition in this country to
support.
