Politician Refutes
RumOrS of Guilt.

New York, Feb. 19.-Thomas Has
sett, a prominent Tammany politician,
today refuted rumors that he would
plead guilty to an indictment growing
out of District Attorney Whitman's
graft investigation and demurred to
the indictment on technicalities. 1t
had been persistently reported that he
would aid the prosecutor.
The indictment charges him with
attempted grand larceny in trying to
persuade Anthony C. Douglass, for
mer mayor of Niagara Falls, that he
could obtain the Hudson river syphon
contract on the Catskill aqueduct work
by making a political contribution of
$4,000 through Hassett.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Establish-

may find safety when the Federals and /.
Constitutionalists clash in the next
great battle OF the Mexican revolu-
ton was assured today when Gen. :
Villa agreed to the plan. General HUI
erta already had been approached on
the subject through the American >
embassy at Mexico City and he read
ily assented, with the stipulation that
binding assurances that the zone
would be respected be obtained from
the Constitutionalists.
This idea originated with the state
department as the result of express
sions of apprehension from several
foreign embassies and legations here
for the safety of their citizens.
General Hugh l. Scott at Fort Bliss /.
was charged to lay the matter before
Gen. Villa and he broached the sub
ieet Yesterday in a personal talk on ,
the international border which was
followed bv a formal agreement to-
day. :

Considering the peculiar location OF
Torreon in a rough and hilly country
it has been found that in order to OBJ
tain a location of perfect safety fof
the non -combatants, 1t would be nee
essary to remove them some distance
from the town proper. Such loca-
ton has been found at Tlahuaiiio'
about four or five miles from Torreon .
and the site has been approved by the
military experts.
At the instance of the British en- :

Japan, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden,
Portugal and Switzerland. President
Wilson had conferred with senators
and representatives about the treaties
as we'll as the paramount issue or
Panama canal tolls. He was assured
by leaders of both houses that they
would vote te repeal the toll exemption
for American ships after the treaties
had been ratified.
In the Senate the lines of demarka-
tion as to the foreign policy of the
government were sharply drawn when
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon sub
mitted a general amendment to all
pending treaties, which would exempt
from arbitration by The Hague Tri-

Admission Of aliens into the United

MESSAGES OF
CONCRATULAT|ON
REACH SEN. CORE,

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 19.-
Scores of messages congratulating
Thomas p. Gore, United States sem
ator from Oklahoma, on his eXonera-
tion of charges of improper conduct
made by Mrs. Minnie E. Bond in
suit for 1000 damages, were receiv-
ed by the senator today.
The senataor announced that he
would pass today and tomorrow here,
after which he would go to Hot
Springs for a short vacation before
he returned to Washington to resume
his duties in the Senate. He said that
he had never doubted the outcome of
the suit against him.
The trial lasted one week, beginning
Wednesday last. The jury was out
only 10 minutes. Senator Cores only
remark when the verdict was returned
was "The verdict confirms my faith
that truth will triumph. | never for
a moment doubted the outcome"
Mrs. Gore, who had sat throughout
the trial by her husbands attorneys,
and from time to time whispered sug
gestions to them, could not restrain
herself and tears were in her eyes as
she shook hands with the jury fore
man.
Instantly upon hearing the verdict.
despite efforts of bailiffs to preserve
order, the crowded court room was
in a turmoil of excitement The SEN
ators friends raised cheer after cheer.
while those displeased with the ver-
dict silently pushed their way to the
outside.
Mrs. Bond apparently was unmoved
by the verdict or the demonstration
that followed. She sat quietly at a
table scribbling on a piece of paper
until her attorneys walked from the
courtroom with her.

rule and a shot was fired across her
bows, which had the desired effect. Ex-
plantations followed the next day, and
there was no further interference with

Thieves Hold Up and Rob
Merchant in His Office
Special to The Teltgya5h

Waynesboro, Pa. Dec. 26.-J. IL.
Baer, who conducts a mill and feed
store at the Cress station, two miles
southeast OF Waynesboro, was the VIC
tim of a hold-up Christmas Eve about
S o'clock.
Mr.. Baer was sitting in the Office of
the mill alone when, suddenly, he saw
a hand containing a revolver thrust
through a window and held up to his
face. About the same time a masked
man appeared at the door, walked in
and requested Mr.. Baer to hand over
all his money, and began going
through Mr.. Baer's pockets. The lat
ter could not interfere as he was COW
cred by the revolver, and had to stand
still and be relieved of his purse. All
that was stolen was the purse-but It
was a good haul for the thieves, as 1t
contained 500 in money and checks.
Mr. Baer telephoned to Chief of Police
S. W. Staley at Waynesboro, who went
to work on the case Immediately.
