BOY SCOUT DIPLOMATS

<, WASHINGTON, D. G., March 81
On the first anniversary of his inaug-
uration, President Wilson accepted
tbs resignation OF John Bassett Moore
counsellor OF the state department
and the administrations highest
authority on international law.
The resignation comes at a critica.
time for the administration and for
the state department, for there is no
one else upon whom it can rely for
expert advice on the ticklish problems
Of foreign intercourse that confront
It, John Lind, now at Vera Cruz, 10
mentioned as a possible successor.
There seems no questions that lIr.
Moore's resignation is the result OF
friction in the department, chiefly be-
tween himssaf and Secretary of State
Bryan.
1t is declared that the reorganiza-
ton of the department, which Presi-
dent Wilson had promised to intrust
to Mr.. Moore, was taken out of his
hands, and finally resulted mrely In
ousting all the competent aids who
had figured in previous administrae
lions and putting In their places po-
liticians whose chief equipment in in
ternational law consisted OF a consis-
tent pro Bryan record.
Mr.. Moore also found that he never
was consulted in grave situations, I'M
| til the boy scout diplomats around
| him had failed, and then 1t was aeft
/ to him to pull the administration out
of hole.
On the Mexican situation it is said
4 that he couns5led the recognition OF
4 Huerta and that this disagreement be!
tween himself and President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan resulted dn many
trying situations. He was also re
\ ported to have opposed lifting the EN-
barge on arms to the rebels.
I On all of Mr.. Bryan's frequent
chautauQua excursions and speech
i making trips out Of Washington Mr.
Moore was acting secretary OF state;
but he found each time that he had

tsrviews with ambassadors and min
listers embarrassing because the,
were better informed than he.

first word from the Cobequid since her
wireless failed this morning might come
from the American vessel. The Tyrian
did not venture out because OF the heavy
weather.
The possibility that the CobequId may
still be clinging TO the MUIR ledges was
the one accepted hy the more hopeful OF
those interested in the steamer here
Among others. grave fears were ex-
pressed that the steamer had slid of
the rock on which she struck and had
sunk with all on board.
It IS known that among those on board
are the Misses Marguerite and Dorothea

not wish to deal in any way with the
United Mine Workers." he said. "Just
in the same way the copper mine own
ers here say they have no objec-
tions to unions, but will have nothing
to do with the Western Federation Of
Miners In neither case is the fight
a question of the recognition of one
union, but Of upholding the principles
of trade unionism.
Evidences Of ill-feehng between the
strikers and deputies have come to
light, despite the advice Of the union
leaders that the men refrain from op-
posing peace officers. Tonight some
seventy.tive strikers were dispersed
from the vicinity of the union S supply
store in AhmeeE village after, it was
alleged, they had jeered English miners
returning from the mine of that name
a mile away.
News from Washington regarding g
the possibility of a congressional in
vestigation caused comment, and some
company men were inclined TO think
that perhaps such hearing might aid
the situation. They based this atti-
tude upon the allegations that Walter
B. Palmer, the department of labor in
vestigator who was here last summer,
had given undue prominence to street
gossip and drawn unsupportable con
clusions therefrom, adding that fair
committee would be the best means OF
putting corrections of such alleged mis-
statements on record. Hitherto the
companies have been firm supporters
of Governor Ferris in his declaration
that the state could best care for the
strike problem, and that federal ac
tivity would be unwelcome.

When the bandits entered his fathers
store and began their deadly attack on
the defenseless merchant the boy secured

murderers and before the youth could
fire a second shot he fell, dead. his body
pierced by three bullets.

Theory Verified.

From the position in which the boy
stood when he shot me must have struck
one OF the bandits, II at all. in the upper
part OF the body. A search OF the store
failed to locate the bullet the boy fired
and the police became inclined to the be-
lief that the bullet took effect. This the
ory was corrohorsted by a woman who
declared that she saw two men run from
tho Morrison store Immediately after the
shots had been fired. One of the men had
his hands clasped over his breast and
called TO the other that he had been shot.
On the day following the murder the
police followed an intermittent trail OF
blood south on West Temple street to
the point where tho tracks Of the Park
City branch OF the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad intersect with West Temple
street. AT that point there were indlca-
lions that man had leaned on a fence
for support and small pool Of blood
and two cartridges were found there.
The cartridges were .3S cal!ber and OF
the type used in automatic pistols. No
trail could be found beyond this point.
