Action Was Not Forced.

The house of Morgan feels that it
has kept within the law in all of its
complex operations and that no legal
necessity or threatened complications
with the authorities at Washington
had made it necessary to adopt the
sweeping change in policy announced.
The chief consideration, it was
said, which has prevented the firm
from taking some such action before
this time was the possible complica.
tions which might follow such action.
Investors throughout the world have
purchased securities marketed by the
house of Morgan and it was felt that
the firm had assumed a responsibility
in this connection which could not be
lightly laid aside.
The recent trend of political events,
such as the money trust" investiga-
ton by the Puio committee, and re-
ports from Washington that the ad-
ministration is considering legisla
tion against interlocking directorates,
has created a situation which made
it possible to enter upon this change
in policy.

Mexico will be the next step on the
part of the United States and that
President Wilson is now convinced

view the ambassadors are said to con-
cur.

First-That American intervention
cannot be avoided.
Second-That the attitude of Ger.

passive and that all Mexican obliga

be settled through the United States
Third-That Huerta does not in
tend to relinquish his post before the

Fourth-That Huerta's defiance Of

 As the president gave the bride away, there was an affectionate smile on his face.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Develop- ments in the Mexican situation went steadily forward, although the White House wedding to some extent eclipsed all others in the attention of official Washington. Two chief ! reports from Mexico announced the | killing of two British subjects and one American at '2uadalaJara: the continued heavy fighting at Mazat- Ian on the Pacific coast, where re- bel biplane dropped a bomb and killed four persons and injured eight in the streets of the besieged city.

Senator Bristow Opposes Vigorously the Repeal of Tolls Exemption, Because It Would Benefit Great Britain
SAYS SELFISHNESS
 IS AT BOTTOM
Claims "We Have Admin istration in Temporary Charge of Our Affairs in Sentiment More English Than American"
rAssoc1ArEp PRESS p1spArcH1

WASHINGTON. May 7.-Opposi- ton to the Panama tolls exemption repeal was voiced in the senate to- day by vigorous speeches by Sena- tors O'Gorman and Bristow. OGor man is the leader of the opposition and chairman of the senate canals committed Bristow said he was op posed to a bill which would benefit England, and declared England has been the enemy of the United States in every hour of need since the rev. olution. The debate on the repeal may be completed next week.
 England" Senator Bristow said, has been our enemy in every hour of need, and never once since the revolutionary patriots shed their blood at Bunker Hill has she not re- jected us when misfortune befell us. But never has the audacity of her selfishness been more manifest than at the present time, and unfortunate ly for this country, We have an ad- ministration in temporary charge of our national affairs, which in it's sentiment seems to be more English than American"
 Senator Bristow pointed out that Great Britain. the principal protes- tant against the tolls exemption of American ships, owns about half the merchant vessels which sail the seas.
 Tn the construction of the canal, !" he said, we have rendered her the greatest service ever rendered to one nation by another in the commercial history of the world, and this has been done without price or reward. Probably five times as many English ships will pass through the canal as American ships, and in the face Of this condition t>certainly is an as- founding proposition for England to ask us to incurr all risk, and then give her all advantages in every de- tail that we have in the use of the 1 canal
 Yet this is what England asks, and what Mir Wilson proposes We shal
 give her, right or wrong, because 1 she asks it.'

Wants Embargo Lifted

TORREON, May "A plea for lifting the embargo on arms as the swiftest. surest and most humanitar- ian method of bringing peace to Mexico, was made in an interview by General Pancho Villa. Villa pointed to the successes of the constitution alists during the time the embargo was lifted and said he cannot paci- fly Mexico quickly while suffering from a lack of ammunition. He said he wanted to make it clear to the people of the United States that he is anxious that all Americans con- nected with the industries of Mexico return, and that those who return have nothing to fear, as he will do everything possible to protect them Villa reiterated his belief in the good will of Americans toward Mexico.
 After all," he said, "our interest is mutual, and the boundary line is only an imaginary line of political import. Socially and economically the Rio Grande has never proven a stiff barrier to the nations separated by it. I believe that all enlightened
