VIII Take Decisive but Not Az

Washington. Dec. 9.-If the con-
tending Mexican forces opposite Naco,
Ariz.. do not cease firing into Ameri-
can territory the three batteries OF
field artillery sent to the international
line will be ordered TO return the fire.
This Is the United States govern
ment's determination. il became
known tonight. after fun discussion
OF the situation by President Wilson
and his cabinet. No specific orders
have been given. but while Bri.;. Gcn.
Tasker III. Bliss. who was directed to
proceed to \aco with tho field guns.

answer TO the sharp warning given to
Mexican factions battling across L;
border that bullets and shells must
not fall on American soil.
"No act Of aggression" is contcm-
plated. n statement issued 10y tho
White House today said. but officials
draw n distinction between aggressive
md decisive action. To cross the bor-
der or open Ire first would be an act
Of aggression but TO remain on the

would not constitute an act Of aggrcs-
sion.

by Secretary Tumulty. after n con-
ference with tho PRESIDENT was ne

warnings prove futile. The gcncraI
speculation, however, is that no such
contingency will arise.

-
NEW YORK. May 21.-Taking OF
testimony in the second trial of ex-
Lieut.. Charles Becker for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal. suddenly end
ed shortly before noon today. Only
two witnesses were called during the
morning. one by the defense and one
by the state. The case Will go to the
jury tomorrow.
AS soon as the states witness had
concluded his testimony, Atty. Martin
L. Manton moved that the Indictment
be dismissed and the prisoner dis
charged on the ground of insufficient
evidence. Justice Seabury denied the
motion. The court then asked Mr..
Manton if he was ready TO begin
summing up.
Il am not prepared" replied the
lawyer. "and would ask that you give
me two hours to get my notes to-
gether."
Justice Seabury granted the request
and ordered a recess until p. m.
adding:
Il shall allow three hours for the
defense and three hours for the peo-
pie. / will designate o'clock as the
hour for the people to begin their
summing up. Tomorrow the court
will charge the jury"
defense by failing to call Sam Schepps
as a witness. Becker turned TO his
counsel when Whitman announced he
was through and said:
What's the matter? Why don't
they put Schepps on?'
Mrs. Becker Relieved.
Mrs. Becker seemed pleased by the
failure to call Schepps. She looked
at her husband and smiled as if
great load had been lifted from her
shoulders.
When court adjourned Becker was
taken TO the sheriff's office, where he

Mr.. Manton's explanation of the
states failure TO call Schepps was
this:

MEDIATION HEADQUARTERS.
Clifton Hotel, Niagara Falls, Ont, May
Opening of the mediation nego-
tations here today found the Mexican
peace problem as much confused as
ever.
Noue OF the attaches here would
predict the course of the representa-
tives OF the Huerta administration.
That they would fight doggedly any
proposal that the great estates
throughout their country be broken up
and the poems given the land. as de-
manded by Pres. Wilson, was regarded
as certain. however. This seemed the
logical attitude for men identified with
the Cientihcos Of the southern Tepub-
lie.
Yet no one watching these silent
self contained delegates of the Huerta
government could say what they would
propose as an alternative or a better
solution OF the chaos beyond the Rio
Grande.
IL they have definite proposals for
securing harmony in Mexico. except by
force of arms. they had not divulged
them TO any one since they came un-
Ger the protection OF the Union Jack.
First Test Today.
Today brought the first real test or
the mediation proceedings. The Ameri-
can representatives talked with che
Argentine and Brazilian mediatOrS, re
,iewing with the situation as seen by
the American government.
With Minister SuareZ. OF Chile, the
third mediator present today, the
ground was gone over informally with
the Mexicans Next will come the
formal conferences lt is generally
understood that the elimination OF
IIuerta will be the first item 10 be
considered.

beginning of the sessions was settled

tween the mediators and the Mexican

home secretary.
As the army or women was NOV
ing along Constitution hill two police
men suddenly seized Mrs. Pankhurst
and hurried her off to the police sta
ton. Mrs Pankhurst's bodyguard Of
husky women. chosen for their cou-
rage and strength. gave an angry
shout and attacked the policemen
but were dispersed with dishevelled
hair and torn dresses.
The palace grounds were carefully
searched for the fear prevailed thar
fanatics among the women might at
tempt to do the king bodily harm.
Following the arrest of Mrs. Pank-
hurst riot broke out on Constitution
hill. Mounted police tried 20 clear
the streets but the women formed
themselves into a compact mob and
fought SaYagely until the mounted
police charged the mass Of feminin-

Ambulances and police reserves

women had TO be strapped to their
cots as they insisted upon going back

PAID 70 MILLIONS
FOR LINE WORTH 8
ME[LEN ADMITS

WASHINGTON. May 21 - Charles
S. Mellen. former president of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
abroad. admitted before the inter
state commerce commission that the
New Haven had paid $40, 900. 600 for
the Rhode Island trOlleys which were
valued at only $S,OOO.O0O. The wit
ness defended the expenditure on the
ground that the money had been
spent for "the future value of the
roads"
The influence of former United
States Sen Nelson w Aldrich. OF
Rhode Island. was proffered to the
New Haven and Hartford railroad in
1906 to bring about an adjustment Of
the Rhode Island trolley situation.
Mellen said.
sen. Aldrich called on me TO ascer-
tain the cause for the breaking in the
negotiations between the Rhode Island
trolley interests and the New Haven" /"
said Mr.. Mellen. He promised TO
bring influence to bear TO expedite the
adjustment OF the matter. This influ-
ence was not 20 be directed at the New
Haven but at the u. G.. l. people"
Mr.. Mellen referred to the United
Gas and Improvement company, of
Philadelphia, which controlled the
Rhode Island trOlleys.
After Folk had read a number of
letters concerning the deals between
Aldrich and the New Haven. Mellen
said that il must have been about
June s, 1905. that he had first talked
over the Rhode Island trolley deal
with Sen. Aldrich.
Folk read a number OF minutes of
of M
Haven road relative to the purchase of
the Rhode Island trOlleys.
Mellen then stated that il was the
aim OF the New Haven To ''clear up
the trolley situation in New England
and 10 eliminate some of the wheels
within wheels" which appeared TO be
clogging progress. The United Gas
and Improvement company. Mellen
said, tried TO hold up the New Haven
and force them to buy two trolley sys-
TENS TO get the one they wanted. The
New Haven fought this arrangement,
but finally lost out.
Had Many Bosses.
How many men did you employ
on your SYSTEM"
About 125, 900"
Don't you think it bad for one
man TO boss so many people -
You are wrong there--One man
didn't boss all those people. l had
more bosses When L was getting SOV'-
600 a year as president of the New
Haven than when 1 was getting $50
a month as clerk. The higher up
man gets the more bosses ne has.
How many directors Of the New
York Central were on the board OF
the New Haven? -
THE greatest number at any one
time was four
How many directors had the
Pennsylvania on the board of the
New Haven ?"
There was Mr. Cassatt. whose
place was taken by Mr. McRae and
now there is Nc McRae. who has
substitute when he is prevented from
attending"
Mellen thought il very bad for the
railroads and the country generally
for one great railroad to own stock
in another. He said interlocking di-
rectorates in some places are all
right but that they prevent a road
from working out its own salvation
I'm its own way.
