TO MR.. HAYDEN
Senator Ashurst Protests He
Is Not Qualified to Prose-
cute Caminetti Case.

Senator Ashurst OF Arizona today file1
protest with the Attorney General
against the selection of Thomas E. Hay
den OF California to take the place of
former District Attorney McNab in prose-
cutting the cases against Diggs and Cami-
netti, the young Californians charged
with violating the Mann white slave Inv.
Drew Caminetti. who is under indict-
ment, is the son of the commissioner en-
eral of immigration.
Senator Ashurst takes the stand that
Hayden is comparatively young and in
experienced iawyer, not long out of col
lege, and that the administration should
see to it that the best prosecuting attor-
ney possible should be obtained to con-
duct these cases, and that failure to do
so would be a decided reflection upon
the present administration. He also as
serts that Hayden is friend of the
Diggs and Caminetti families in Cali
fornia, and for that reason he should
not be appointed to carry on the prose-
cutions.
Because both of the senators from Cal
ifornia are republicans, a large number
OF democrats i'm California have called
upon Senator Ashurst. democrat, to
make this protest to the Attorney Cen
eral, the senator said today.
Later Senator Ashurst stated that one
of the protestants against the selection
of Hayden was State Senator J. B. San
ford of California. the Department
of Justice Senator AShurSt took pains to
say he was not attacking Mr.. Hayden
personally, but only calling In question
his experience as prosecutor.

GREY SEES WARS END.
British Foreign Secretary Discusses
Conditions in Balkans.

LONDON, July 15.-In the house of
commons last night Sir Edward Grey.
the British foreign secretary. replying to
a suggestion that an armistice should
should be forced on the Balkan states,
said it was impossible to exaggerate the
horror of the war, but mere words were
not likely to affect the situation, and 1t
would be extremely difficult for the con-
cert of Europe to resort to force to i'm
pose peace.
Bulgaria had asked Russia to aid her in
securing peace, and Servia and Greece
had agreed to cease hostilities upon GER
tain conditions. AS to Turkey. no excep-
ton could be taken to her action as long
as she adhered to the Enos Midia line.
The essential thing for the powers, said
the fore gn secretary. was to perfect ana
maintain an agreement. The war was so
exhaustive that it could not be of long
duration, and no complications ought to
arise endangering the European concert.
There was every reason to believe, .e
concluded, that matters would be brought
to a satisfactory termination.

tain Secrecy.

Already one of the great European
powers through its diplomatic repre-
sentative here has directed the attention
of Secretary Bryan to the chaotic condi-
t1ons in Mexico and the effect upon the
welfare and safety of its citizens there,
with polite inquiry as to what the
United States proposes to do about it.
Whether the inquiry was part of a con-
certed movement on the part of Euro
pean powers to bring the State Depart
ment to a declaration OF its purpose
toward Mexico did not develop today.
Reports from the City of Mexico. how
ever. would appear to warrant that con-
clusion.
