that he would be candidate for re.

CROSS-EXAMINATION
OF ROSE Is BITTER
Witness Parried Every Attack and
Left Stand Unshaken-Becker Ap-
peared Careworn and Grave.

New York, May 13.-A bitter cross.
examination of "Bald Jack" Rose, one
of the prosecution IS principal witnesses
against former Police Lieutenant Chas.
Becker, on trial here for the murder of
Herman Rosenthal, was conducted to-
day by Defense Attorney Manton. Rose
remained calm throughout the ordeal,
parried every attack and left the stand
with his testimony mistaken.
Becker appeared grave and careworn
throughout the morning and seemed to
realize that Manton made but little
headway in discrediting Rose s aecusa-
tions. With direct questions, Manton
accused Rose of teaching poys to steal,
running girls, pandering and belonging
to ring of white slavers.
Rose denied that he was guilty of
any of the charges voiced by the at.
torney.
Rose denied that Rosenthal had ever
forced his expulsion from u gamblers
club and followed it up with long
recital of his first acquaintance with
Becker. After attempts to trip up the
witness had failed, Manton temporar.
lily abandoned an effort to show that
Rosenthal was killed as a result of a
war between New YORK gamblers.

MEDTAToRS PROPOSE TO RULE
MEXICO BY COMMISSION
By John Edwin Nevin.

Washington, May l3.-That they had
agreed on a general p-an for settling
Mexico 3 troubles, was confirmed here
today by the "a. L. y" mediations.
They said the first thing they would
do at Niagara Falls would be to sub.
init their proposition to the American
and Mexican ENJOYS. II was under
stood to contemplate President Huer-
ta's retirement in favor of commits
sion government of Sve members, two
to be chosen by the Huertistas, two by
the constitutionalists and one by the
mediators. OF course this commission
would continue in power only until n
national election could be held. Off.
cialdom here. was not hopeful of the
Plans acceptance. 1t was believed the
Washington administration would ap-
prove it, but the general belief was
that it would be rejected by Huerta $
ENJOYS.
The Mexicans were expected to in.
sist, in the first place, that the Tam
pico incident was the only thing to be
arbitrated, or at any rate that it must
be disposed of before the general sit.
uation in Mexico is discussed. Besides,
should the general situation be reached,
it was the impression here that Huerta
would refuse to retire on any condition
but that of naming his own successor.
The Mexican ENJOYS were due in
Niagara Falls Saturday.
Through the mediators, the Washing
ton administration notified the Mexi-
can government that it has no inten-
tion Of holding Lobes Island, off the
Mexican coast between Vera Cruz and
Tampico, but cannot surrender it un-
less Huerta will promise to keep the
lighthouse there in commission, as it
is necessary to navigation.
1t will be for Huerta to decide whe-
ther this explanation is sufficient. The
Hediators said they believed his de-
cision would be affirmative.

Administration May be Fore
ed to Take Harsh Retaia-
tory Course with Mexico
SITUATION IS ADMITTED
TO BE DELICATE
Government Only Asking for
Information in Order Not
to Inflame Country

Washington, May 13.-Reports that
Private Parks, who strayed from Vera
Cruz last week and was believed to
have fallen into the Mexican troops
hands, was not only executed, but tor
tured before being put to death, prom
ised to stir the Washington administra-
tion to drastically retaliatOry meas
ures.
To General Frederick Funston, Sec
retary of War Garrison sent instruc-
tions to do everything possible to se-
cure positive information concerning
Parks fate. Secretary of State Bryan
asked the Brazilian minister in Mexico
City to bring pressure to bear on Presi-
dent Huerta to the same end. Funston
had already expressed the opinion that
the private was executed but the ad-
ministration proposed TO give the Mex,
leans the benefit Of the doubt until
proof was secured.
Should the sinister reports he CON
firmed, however, Secretary 4atyisQn
intimated plainly that harsh nleaaiifea
would have to be taken. %tf5pplite,
decent methods fail" he H1feclared,
"we win take our next step. And II
! Parks sgas tcstusedi II was afts.et Of
barbarism, whether the Mexicans con
sidered they were at war with us or
not.
"We don't want 70 take a misstep
in q delicate situation, and we don u
want to inflame the country. Conse-
quently, all we have done thus far
is TO ask for information, for we feel
that the initial responsibility is with a
soldier who deserts his command.
"Of course we feel that Parks must
have been insane, but we have no
proof of the reason for his departure. "
In connection with the disappearance
of Private Parks, of the regulars at
/ Vera Cruz, who waz-ered from the
city, supposedly while suffering from
heat stroke, and was supposed to
have fallen into the 2fexlcans' hands,
war department officials were bitter
in their denunciation of General Mas.
They said they were sure Parks was
mentally unbalanced, and they had cir
cumstantial, though unofficial, stories
to the effect that he was first tortured
and then executed General Funston,
telegraphing unofficially, expressed the
opinion that it was true Parks was
maltreated and shot without even a
drumhead trial.
This was despite the fact that Funs-
ton wrote to Mas Immediately follow
ing the American soldiers disappear
ance, saying the latter was insane and
asking that he be treated humanely.
There was nothing r0r che state de-
partment to do in the way of pro-
test, however, until it learned the facts
in the case officially.

Denver, Colo, May 13.-At today Is

tion will be allowed to resume with
forces of strikebreakers, Secretary OF
War Garrison said positively today.
The regulars, he explained, were sent
into the coal fields to restore order
not to brak the strike. The mines
which were running when the federal
soldiers arrived, he added, would be
protected in continuing to do so, but
thos which were shut down by tn,
strike would have to re1z,n closed un

and miners.
