RUSSIA ADMITTING
JEWS, SAYS GUILD
Former Ambassador Says They
Are Allowed to Cross Border,
in Spite of Broken Pact.

There IS far from a UNIVERSAL exclu-
sion of Jews in Russia, In spite of the
fact that the abrogation Of the Rus
sian treaty opened the way for repris-
ais by the Cars government. This
is the report brought to the State De-
chusetts. former ambassador to Russia,
who has returned to Boston after pay
inS his respects to President Wilson
and Secretary OF State Bryan. As to
the present status Of the American Jew

ANY American Jew who has not vio-
lated the Russia law and who can show
that he has legitimate business in Rus

to cross the frontier as often as he
pleases, and even travel in parts of RusI
sia from which Jews who are Russian
citizens are barred. OF course, this Is
not by any means a universal admis-
sion Of Jews, but 1t IL far from a uni
yersal exclusion. and ! can testify to
tho activity In Russia Of quite a num-
ber of my fellow-citizens OF Jewish
faith, all sorts Of callings. from bankers
and agents to buyers and sellers Of

Nor has there been any boycott on

For Mexican Trouble

Declaring that the Standard OIL Com
pany is back Of the present situation in
Mexico, Manuel Perez Romero, brother
Of Mrs. francesca Madero and accredit-
ed agent of the constltutionalists in this
Capital, today barred what he believes
is a plot to force Americas hand in
the matter of Mexican policy. He de-
clared that he does not believe there
has been any concerted action by the
powers to force the United States to
define its attitude toward Mexico, nor
does he believe that the powers will
bring pressure to bear on the United
States in this respect.
Result of Interests.
He says further that the rumored ac-
ton is the result of interests, allied
closely to the Cowdray and Standard
Oil interests, trying to force European
governmental action. following the fail
ure Of their plans to get a large slice
of money as the result Of floating Mexi-
can loans.
He characterizes the present talk as

ORPHANS ENJOYING
ACTIVE SUMMER
Boys and Girls Entertained at

Orphans Of Washington have been

a tolerably active and happy summer.
thanks partly to their own energies
for play and partly to the kindness Of
friends. at st. Joseph's Orphan Asy-
lum a swimming pool is the chief at
traction in the summer time; from
the Washington City Orphan Asylum
the fatherless boys and girls are be-
ing taken occasionally on outings to
Rock Creek Park and the Zoo, and
children in the st. Vincent Asylum. at
Edgewood, are living in the country
and having wide fields to play over.
The biggest event Of the summer on
the orphan calendar is the Elks river
excursion, which is a thing Of the past
so far as 1913 Is concerned. Likewise

Trips To 400 Important.
Next to these large and important
affairs come trips to the Zoo in the
estimation of the children. Those
at the Washington City Orphan Asy-
lum have Jared quite wen in this
respect SO far. The last visit made
by them was a week ago when kind
folk of the Mt. Pleasant Congrega-
tinoal Church escorted thirty little
boys and girls to Rock Creek Park.
helped them play games and late In
the day set out a regular picnic sup
per for the small guests.
Other such parties are in prospect
this month and next at practically all
the asylums and according to the
srsa re
more exuberant joy can be created by
one such hospitality than by a hun
dred or a thousand more formal en-
tertainments given TO srown-ups.
Little orphans do not get as many
children and their capacity for en-
joyment is whetted by enforced alb
stinence.
At st. Joseph's Orphan Asylum the
swimming pool is the great summer in
stitution. All are boys at the asylum,
and they spend from one to three hours
daily in or at the pool, and some of
the most expert swimmers for their years
are fast developing there. Informal
races are Of daily occurrence, and fancy
swimming and diving In all its forms
are steadily practiced.
Play In Green Fields.
Children at st. Vincent's. which is To-
Gated In Edgewood, are able to roam
green fields and verdant pastures with
out travelling away from their own
neighborhood. All the joys and sports
that children country-bred know are ex-
perienced by the children of this
asylum Picnic suppers out of doors are
frequent and a favorite diversion. The
SPACIOUS grounds afford room for every
sort Of running game and baseball Is OF
course the really best loved game
Children at St Roses Asylum are
also seeing the blue sky and the green
covered earth this summer instead of
wooden floors and white ceilings. Out
ings TO the country are arranged for the
children there. and. like all other or
phans, the little girls Of this institution
are happy when without the walls OF
an institution which somehow grow
more monotonous and seem more confin-
ing than do those of home.
Trolley car parties are occasionally
arranged for the orphans, as all can
testify who have seen the street cars

Mexico City Excited
BY Wilson's Departure;
Due in Capital July %.

MEXICO CITY, July 17-Suppressed
excitement was evident throughout
Mexico City today following the depart
ure of United States Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson for Washington, where he
was summoned for a conference with
President Wilson. Ambassador Wilson
was in Vera Cruz today. and In the
regular course of events should reach
Washington by July Is. Some time
might be saved IL the ambassador
should go from Havana to Key West
and then by rail to Washington. but
his plans were not known here.
A formal statement was issued from
the American embassy today relative
to Wilson's departure. in order to set
at rest many wild rumors which were
afoat. This statement declared the
ambassadors trip to washington is
solely for the purpose of placing before
the Administration exact Information
In thorough way relative to the exist
ing siteation In Mexico. The trip has
ton should not be placed otherwise.
The ambassador expects to return i'm
mediately after his conference with
the President-possibly within two
weeks. His wife will accompany him
and return with him.
III spite VI ueIidis iiOin ScfHduy inc
impression prevails here that a formal
demand of that government upon the
United States to take immediate steps
to protect foreign property in Mexico,
resulted in the calling Of Wilson to
Washington.
According to DR.. Urrutia, Minister Co.
bernacion, the Mexican government be-
lieves the departure OF the amba ssador
and the conference he will have with
President Wilson, will hasten the recog-
nition of the Huerta government
Although the statement issued ex-
pressed the belief of Wilson that he
would return here, many members of
the American colony doubt this. 1t
was pointed out that telling between fhe
ambassador and some Of the Mexican
under-officials has been more or less
strained for some time. and protests
made by Wilson have brought slight re-
sponse.
