be repeated tomorrow. Policemen
made no arrests fearing citations for
contempt Of court Three county
Judges who held hearings on petitions
offered by both sides this afternoon
ordered the police to make no more
arrests, pending court decision on
Monday. At the same time the court
ordered that there should be no more

ter charges of failure to save were
brought by Captain A. NJ. Simmons
Of this Tower against the officers and
crew of the Old Dominion liner Ham
ilton, sister craft of the i'll fated Mon

month ago. Simmons alleged that
the Hamilton disregarded his signals,

gress. This Is expected to aid Fall In
his attempt on Monday to smoke the
administration out into the open on
the entire Mexican situation. A singu-
lar fact commented upon by certain
legislators tonight, is that a similar
attitude has been taken by British Off
cials. This adds to the belief that
from now on England and the United
States will be found far more in ac-
cord about the Mexican situation than
in the past From this, the chief sup
porters of the administration argue
that the time to worry about foreign
complications in Mexico is past and
that general plan of concerted ac-
tion has already been agreed on, This
plan 1t is said, was suggested by Sir
Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambas-
cador, and is now being carried to
the British government by Sir Lionel
Garden, British minister to Mexico
now enroute to London. But the cry
that has been raised that the Wilson
maniac, has so disturbed the president
that there will be no public admis7
sion made of this until after Mexico

aneous history.
