Agreed to S,rve State Department
Only One Year. T..
Washington.-John Bassett Moore,
counselor Of the state department and
the recognized authority on interna.
tional questions, concluded his serv'
ice with the government when Pres
ident Wilson accepted the resignation
Mr.. Moore had submitted a month
ago. .a. gf
Coming when international affairs
occupy the forefront of official and
public attention, the departure of Mr.
Moore from a position second only to
that Of Mr.. Bryan, attracted wide
spread attention and comment. .
Although the resignation had been
in the presidents hands since Feb
ruary 2, to take effect now, this fact
had not been generally known. There
had been reports some months age
that the counselor Of the state de-
partment did not find his labors en-
tirely congenial and was about to re
sign, but these reports we're promptly
denied. It was explained then and again
officially explained that Mr. Moore
had come into the administration with
a definite understanding that his ten
ure was provisional for a year, so thai
he could return to his duties as head
of the department Of International law
at Columbia university. This fact was
strongly emphasized in the official cor
respondence made public.

Mexican SITUATION Tense
PRESIDENT DECLARES BENTON
BAUcH AND VERGARA HAVE
MADE SITUATION GRAVE.
But He Realizes Certain EventuaIities
May Force Drastic Course by the
United States Government.

Washington.-President Wilson re
vealed to those who discussed Mexi
can affairs with him that he fully real
lied the gravity of the situation result
ing from the killing Of William S
Benton, a British subject, the reported
murder Of Gustav Bauch and Clemente
Vergara, American citizens, and Gen
eral Cararnza's denial Of the right
Of the United States to look after the
interests of foreigners generally II
Mexico.
The president spoke deploringly Of
armed Intervention, but at the same
time pointedly referred to the size ane
power Of a country like the United
States as being sufficient warrant fol
a calm and patient course while com
pliance with the American demands
was being sought.
Callers got the impression from the
president that he was determined tc
try every peaceful means at his dis
posal to solve the Mexican problem
but that he realized certain eventual
ties might mean a drastic course. He
spoke with a frmness that showed his
determination not to be stampeded In
to action by radical speeches in con
gress, but with a hint that when the
necessity arose, the American govern
ment could be expected to move de
cisively and effectively.
Asked whether in view Of the new
developments a change Of policy was
intended by the United States immedi
ately, the president pointed out that g
country Of the size and power of the
United States could afford to wait just
as long as it pleased; that nobody
doubted its power and nobody doubted
that General Huerta was eventually tc
retire. .'

GOVERNOR BLEASE
IN FIGHTING MOOD
GOVERNOR DIDN'T LIKE SPEECH
MADE BY ONE OF THE
LEGISLATORS.
PAYS VISIT To LEGISLATURE
He Even Pulled OFF His Coat-Per-
sonal Violence Prevented by
~Cool-Headed Members.

y. C.-Au eACltlu5 oSohe
marked the session Of the house OF
representatives when Governor Blease
went into the hall to reply to certain
statements made by w. F. Stevenson
in a speech on the asylum probe and
to deliver a message in person. Per-
sonal encounters, which at one time
seemed likely, wer prevented by the
Intervention of members.
When the governor charged that N.
B. Barnwell, member Of the house
from Charleston, was acting in a cow
ardly manner by raising a technical
point. that the chief executive was not
acting within the constitutional limits
in making his remarks, Mr.. Barnwell
advanced to the speakers stand, but
was restrained by members.
Governor Blease told the members
that he came prepared for a fight be-
cause he could not stand the alleged
misrepresentation.
Following the tilt with Mr.. Barnwell
the governor left the hall and was fol-
lowed BY a large number Of his sup
porters. Mr.. Stevenson followed him
for the purpose, it is said, of stating
that he did not wish Governor Blease
to understand that he had apologized
for any statement made in his speech.
The governor apparently thought
that Mr.. Stephenson wanted to fight
and pulled off his coat.
II have been in some fights, but /
neve take off my coat" said Mr.. Ste
venson, returning to the hall.
General disorder reigned in the
house for several minutes while the
governor was making his charges.
Friends Of MIR. Barnwell and the gov
ernor crowded around and for a time
it seemed as if a general fight was i'm
minent.
The governor, in his message or ad-
dress, charged that the report OF the
legislative committee on the asylum
probe was unfair, in that 1t failed to
discuss the charges by Senator Till
man that Governor Blease and his
"underlings and satellites" were try
ing to manipulate the sale Of the
asylum property in Columbia.
He denied all these charges, and
also took exception to a speech by Mr..
Stevenson.
Mr.. Barnwell raised the point Of or
der that the message was passing the
constitutional r'-rits allowed the gov
ernor. Governor Blease then made the
remark about Mr.. Barnwell which pre-
cipitated the confusion.

VILLA ADMITS BAUCH Is DEAD
Rebel General Says Missing American
Was Assassinated.

Chihuahua, Mexico.-General Villa
indicates his belief that Gustav Bauch
is dead, when he said that Bauch, an
American, was liberated at Juarez,
and doubtless was ass~asssinated by
some of his enemies. Villa said that
Bauch had many enemies and added:
"Of course, l can't be held to blame
for that"
Ell Paso, Texas.-General Villas ex.
pressed belief that Gustav Bauch, who
was arrested at Juarez as a spy two
weeks ago, was the victim of an as
sassin, occasioned no surprise here.
The German-American's sister, Mrs. ].
M. Patterson, and others interested
in the case have been resigned to
the conclusion that Bauch was slain
at Juarez.

Benton Probers Barred.

Juarez, Mexico.-The Benton inves-

from proceeding to Chihuahua to ex-
anime the slain Briton's body by reb.
ell orders. Col. Fidel Avila, military
commander here, declined to permit
them 10 board the regular passenger
train, which was waiting. Persistent
inquiry here and in Ell Paso failed to
establish anything but the one fact
that the commissioners were refused
passports on this side and returned to
Ell Paso.
