MEXICAN DEPUTIES
 SAVED BY WOMAN

stern by the soldiers but when they came to the cabin where stood the resolute American woman she refused l to allow the door to be opened claiming the international right of all diploma = tic officers and their families to the courtesy of the port and freedom from search. The Mexican soldiers were in doubt as to their authority and sent for their commanding officer and at the same time Mrs. Lind asked the captain of the Moro Castle to come to her assistance. The Mexican officer was inclined to search the state room in spite of Mrs. Lind's protest but when the captain of the ship arrived on the scene he informed the officer that as the wife of the American diplo- matic agent Mrs. Lind was beyond the reach of the Mexican law and threat ened to call upon the captain of the United States gunboat for protection if an attempt was made to invade the lady's cabin.
 The Mexican official did not care to take the chance with the result that Mrs. Lind was instrumental in saving at least two lives.

MR.. BRYAN now favors suzeraintv

ton demands of those loyal Bryanites who
followed him to the polls in his former cam
palgns must be little embarrassing
In 1900 Mr. Bryan based his campaign
against Mckinley on the issue of Imperial
ism as one Of the greatest evils and dangers
OF Republlcanlsm, and yet his present plan
Tor taxing over Nicaragua outsteps anything
done by the Republicans
Taft and Roosevelt have been denounced
for their Imperialistic views,-Roosevelt for
his Santo Domingo settlement. and Taft for
usurpmg Nicaragua and Honduras and
Bryan LED the Remuneration, yet as soon as he
gets III office where he has the power. the first
important thing that Mr. Bryan does is to
propose plan that goes further than any
thing Roosevelt or Taft ever thought of
doing.
We all know what it will mean when we
begin to interfere with the affairs in Central
America.
American capital will begin to hog all of
the resources that are worth having and then
the army and navy will do the rest
Mr. Bryans plan is simply plan for this
country to finally take over Central America,
and Mexico, it will be the beginning of our
taking possession of all the territory from
here to the Panama Canal, and that will
mean bigger navy and more expensive
standing army
The biggest burden that Great Britain has
to stand under today is the cost of wars past,
and wars that are to come.
To hold her vast possessions England has
the most powerful navy in the world, and it
IS fast driving her to bankruptcy to maintain
1t at the top of the list.
AS has been pointed out by Great Brtain's
most eminent statesmen, unless she calls
halt the country will soon be bankrupt
because of her great war cost
We see the struggle between Great Britain
and Germany to Guido each other in the
building of big battleships,- we see how it
is driving each country deeper and deeper
in debt each year, and with this lesson before

the same pred1cament if we begin to take
over territory away from home for whose
government we make ourselves responsible?
The extending Of our coast line from here
to the Panama Canal simply means that
many more battleships, and that much more
country over which we will have to rule with
armed force.
Already we have our hands full in the
Philippines, yet Mr. Bryan plans to add to
the Philippine troubles those of Mexico and
Central America.
Senator Lodge, and other prominent
Republicans are saying nice things about Mr..

Why should not such men as Senator

1t is just exactly what such Republicans
as Lodge, Aldrich and the old stand pat
Republicans have been favoring since the
time of Mckinley, and it makes no differ

get it.

COMMISSIONERS FILE ANSWER

The Commissioners yesterday afternoon
filed their answer to the suits instituted
by the Capital Traction Company and the
washir-to ton Railway and Electric Com
pany to restrain them as members of
the Public Utilities Commission from in
forcing the order requiring the interchange
of transfers between the street railways
and the Metropolitan Coach Company at
Fifteenth Street and Pennsylvania Ave
nue..
The Commission maintains that in is
suing the order 1t merely was carrying
out the provisions Of the public utilities
law. References were made to the act
of March /, 1895, requiring the exchange
OF railway tickets by the street railway
companies; the act OF May g. 1905. re-
quiring the Washington Railway and
Electric Company to exchange transfers
with thu Metropolitan Coach Company;
and the act of August "a. 1912. requiring
the exchange Of transfers between the
til ee companies mentiond.
A demurrer was filed by the Metropoli-
tan Coach Company admitting that the
act is constitutional and that the order
Of the Public Utilities Commission is
valid.

SHEEHY May NOT HAVE
OPPOSITION FOR Place
LORD CASE Is STILL PENDING

No opposition has yet been voiced to
the confirmation Of Joseph c. Sheehy.
local lawyer. as member OF the Excise
Board to succeed John B. Colpoys. whose
nomination was withdrawn by President
Wilson some time ago. The appointment
Of Mr.. Sheehy was sent to the senate
yesterday afternoon from the White
House. The nomination seems 10 nave
met with general satisfaction among the
leaders of both the dry and wet forces
of the District.
Mr. Sheehy is thirty-fouf years OF age,
and has lived in the District all his life.
He was graduated from Business High
School in 1885, and in 1902 received his
diploma from the Georgetown Law
School. Before entering college he was
engaged in the insurance business.
After being admitted to the bar he en-
tered into a law partnership with Francis
J. Hogan. District National Progressive
Committeeman, former District Attorney
d. w. Baker later being admitted to the
firm. The partnership was dissolved In
February, 1872, Mr.. Shelby going into
other business Soon afterward he again
took I'D the practice OF law. Mr.. Sheehy
is married and has two daughters. He
resides at 2s4s Connecticut Avenue.
The Senate District Committee. at Its
meeting yesterday. decided to postpone
action upon the confirmation OF Frank
B. Lord and Gen. Robert G. Smith. as
members Of the Excise Board. until the
President has had time to give full con-
sideration to the evidence nled with MIN
for and against Mr.. Lord. The commit
tee met in executive session and no wit
nesses were called in. Mr.. Lords formal
reply to the charges brought against
him by members OF the Anti-Saloon
League was received by the committee
and will be given consideration. Presi-
dent Wilson has not yet had time to go
into all the details OF the controversy.
During the session OF the Senate Dis
trict Committee, the Kenyon red light
bill and the Jones bill. giving the Com
missioners authority to close streets to
traffic in cases of parades and pageants.
such as the suffragist demonstration on
March 4, were reported favorably.
The Kenyon bill already has passed the
House 1t provides for the elimination OF
disorderly houses through legal proceed
ings under the caption of nuisances. The
Jones bill Is a result OF the disorderliness
that attended the suffragist pageant on
the eve Of President Wilson's Inaugural
ton.

yesterday, probably will be retained as
secretary to the Board of District Com

that he probably would be given place

The game Of politics as II is played in

many charges and counter-charges, the
Democrats, as the defenders of the Will
son administration, winning out through
superior numbers The Diggs-CaminettI
case and the part which Attorney Gen.
eral McReynolds has taken it was the
material on which the contest was based.
the Kahn resolution seeking the publica-
ton of all papers in the case being the
specific irritant.
A sensational speech by Representative
Kahn in support of his resolution had
been promised ever since Chairman Clay
ton, of the House Judiciary Committee.
had agreed to a four-hour debate on the
California members resolution yesterday.
Representative Byrns of Tennessee, a
friend of McReynolds. raised the objec-
ton which prevented the debate, during
which Mr.. Kahn intended to make seri-
Gus charges.
Mr.. Byrns commended that the Kahn
attack was a political move on the part
of the Republicans to embarrass the ad-
ministration. He moved that the Judi
ciary Committees report that the Kahn
resolution be tabled should be adopted
without debate. Chairman Clayton urged
that the debate be allowed to proceed IL
accordance with his agreement with
Minority Leader Mann, and when the
Democrats supported Byrns. carrying his
motion on a rising vote. Representative
Mann demanded a roll call. The Byrns
motion carried.
After the House had adjourned untfl
Tuesday, Mr.. Mann issued a statement
in which he charged Byrns with acting
at the instigation Of Attorney General
McReynolds and stated that the Demo-
