Wonders never cease in American
law. Here comes Judge in our owD
state. trying the case of man who
entered his neighbor's garden and
pinched head Of cabbage. The judge
decides that 1t was not larceny of per
sonal property at all, and hence not
basis of criminal action; but the
cabbage heads are real estate, and
that the neighbor's remedy is to bring
a civil action contesting title. We
have eaten garden truck-spinach and
lettuce for instance-which tasted like
real estate. But we never knew be-
fore that to steal 1t was not theft. And
after a cabbage head is eaten what
good is the title? Now, II it had been
a franchise or an election that was
stolen, 1t would have been less surpris-
ing in the law to let the culprit 60
free; but who would ever have thought
that the science of judicial hairsplit-
ting would finally be successfully In
voked to protest a plain, everyday cab
bage thief?-Pittsburgh Press.

alists, or to the dictator, from latest
reports from both factions.
This, the first intimation as to the
details of mediation plans, became
known though neither the mediators
nor state department officials would
make any statement as to how nearly
complete is the plan to be submitted
to the American and the Mexican del
egates when they meet the South
American ENJOYS at Niagara Falls,
Canada.
It was learned that the proposal
might be that the setting up OF tenn
porary government be undertaken by
commission of five persons, two OF
them to be named by Huerta, two by
the constitutionalists and the fifth by
the mediators.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge daft
faires OF the American embassy at
Mexico City, told President Wilson
the story of what happened in the
Mexican capital during the days i'm.
mediately preceding and following the
occupation of Vera Cruz and gave him
an intimate picture of General HUI
erta. II was the first time Mr.
O'Shaughnessy had seen the president
since his arrival in Washington last
week. He was at the White House for
more than an hour and went away
highly pleased with his reception.
The charge advised the president
that Huerta was stubborn and not apt
to surrender his position as dictator
easily. He expressed the opinion,
however, that any government set up
l Mexico which has the support of
the United States will stand.
After he left the White House Mr.
'Shaughnessy intimated that he be.
lieved President Wilson had broad
and firm view of the Mexican ques.
tion. He quickly disposed of reports
that he believed he had been badly
treated by the administration.
IL is understood that Mr.. O'Shaugh.
nessys account Of General Huerta was
such as to strengthen, If possible, the
presidents determination to force the
elimination Of the Mexican dictator.
He denied, however. that General Hu.
erta was the drunkard he has been
painted in some quarters and he also
told the president he had not believed
the Tampico incident had been
planned by Huerta to bring about
trouble with the United Statesc.

iarging the coRstitutionalists sphere of
control and giving them a seaport
through which munitions of war may
be directly imported has injected into
the Mexican situation new phases to
occupy the attention of official Wash
ington. The last conference Of the
South American mediators and ENJOYS
mas been held.
Interest centered on Tampico and
the vigorous prosecution of the con
stitutionalist campaign southwark.
The American government already
has begun representations to the con-
stitutionaists to secure protection
for American and other foreign opera
tors returning to the oil wells and
warships have gone up the Panuco
river to their old stations before the
town. At the mouth of the river are
the federal gunboats with a part of
the federal garrison. The captains of
the ships have asked for an interview
with Rear Admiral Mayo, which was
granted, but its purpose has not been
divulged.
Discussion centered chiefly on the
question of shipping arms and ammu-
milton through Tampico. The consti-
tutionalists short of ammunition, are
certain to avail themselves of ,heir
first seaport to import war vessels for
the campaign against Mexico City.
The American government has never
made a clear definition of its policy
toward shipment of arms into Mexico
from countries other than the United
States. Arms were prevented from
reaching Huerta through Vera Cruz
because the customs house there was
seized by the American forces as an
act of reprisal. At Manzanillo and
other west coast ports no effort has
been made to prevent arms from
reaching Huerta and the belief was
general here Thursday that the con.
stitutionalists would have no diff.
Guilty in importing munitions through
Tampico in any quantity.
The presence of the Huerta gun.
boats in Tampico harbor after evacua-
tion by the federals has led to the
conjecture that they will be used to
blockade the port. II is believed that
II is with the purpose of learning
whether Admiral Mavo would re-
spect such blockade that the com.
manders of the federal gunboats
asked for conference. Naval ex.
perts here agree that so long as the
federal commanders are able TO make
this blockade really effective it must
be respected by foreign shipping.
The recognition of an effective block
ade by a belligerent, does not II is
said, interfere with political recog-
milton OF either party to the strife.

Nowadays 1t is just as effective in
