POSTAGE STAMPS IS
CRIMINAL OFFENCE

Washington, May 4.-Postmasters who
conspire to swell their postage stamp
sales to increase their salary are sub
ject to conviction for crime under the

which held that Harold Foster, former

their stamps of him. The trial court
dismissed the indictment and the su-

NO REBEL DELEGATE

dispatch from a foreign minister at
Mexico City said briefly of Huerta:
Position desperate"
Another through diplomatic chan
nels, reported Mexico City outwardly
quiet today. Still another referred to
the doubtful attitude of the troops
heretofore loyal.
Possibilities in casasus
The Brazilian minister in Mexico
City notified the state department that
Americans there were in no way har-
raised or in danger, but that he had
advised them to remain in close quar-
tiers. The situation at Mexico City gave
added importance to the summoning
70 Joaquin D. Casasus from Carlsbad.
It was believed that his real post was
to be minister of foreign affairs at
Mexico City, to take the place of the
inexperienced Ruiz, named when
Huerta disposed of Minister Portillo.
The minister of foreign affairs is in
direct line for the Presidency under
the Mexican Constitution. Casasus
was formerly Mexican ambassador at
Washington and those who know him
well, including some of the mediators,
spoke in high terms of his fitness for
the foreign ministry and the Presi-
Dental succession at this juncture.
The understanding that the mediators
would limit their efforts for the time
being to the settlement of the Tam
pico incident, indicated that the three
ENJOYS had not only given up hope
of interesting the Constitutionalist
leaders actively in the first stages of
negotiation, but had determined to
postpone considera ton or any general
settlement of the questions at issue
between Huerta and the American
government until this delicate point
was adjusted. BY this procedure the
mediators would avoid the problems
of a quasi-recognition of Huerta or
of the elimination of the Mexican die
tator, which diplomatic skeptics were
afraid would wreck the negotiations at
the outset.
A similar problem, that OF the de-
gree and nature of amends to be Of
fered by Huerta for the conduct of
his generals and subordinates at Tam
pico and Vera Cruz, would be left for
the mediators to solve and success in
this preliminary effort would contrib
ute greatly to the chances of working
out a general settlement Of the Mex
lean imbroglio.
Satisfied by Huerta Choice
The mediators expressed satisfaction
with the class of men chosen by
Huerta as his delegates to confer with
them.
The mediators will continue in com
plete charge Of the plans of settlement
and will not take the delegation from
the different parties into any council
with them. The delegates will be
merely advisers, while the three South
American ENJOYS will constitute the
International tribunal trying to work
put the problem.
Secretary Bryan expressed satisfac-
ton today at the general condition
Of the mediation proceedings. He went
to the White House for a conference
with President Wilson.
Inquiry from carranza
The only word from Carranza dur
ing the day was an inquiry as to just
what powers the delegates among the
mediatoxs had asked carranza to
name suld have. He desired to know

Iturbide's FriendIiness

Refugees spoke today in comph-
mentary terms regarding the conduct
of Eduardo Iturbide, governor OF the
federal district, who has been I'M
firing in his efforts to secure the SAFE
tv of Americans. During the eXeit-
ing DAYS when mobs were marching
through the streets of the capital he at
various times held the crowds in check
wehn they appeared on the point oil
attacking Americans.
On the approaching naval pay day,
it is estimated that 100000 in golo
will be distributed among the men ana
official steps to prevent extortion OF
the enlisted men, it is thought, be
taken by the authorities.
Spanish newspapers in Vera Cruz
now come out boldly against General
Huerta and are publishing portraits
of the late President Madero, whom
thew call a national hero.
Many country folk are moving In
toward Vera Cruz so as to obtain the
protection of the American soldiers.

ERRONEOUS STATEMENT.

81 The North Dakota Democrat, publish
ed by George w. Wilkinson. contain
ed an editorial this week in connection
with the alleged troubles Of the agrt-
cultural college. The article stated that
a majority Of the members Of the board
were appointees Of Governor Hanna. 1t
is presumed that Editor Wilkinsor
would not wilfuIly misrepresent the
facts and has had a lapse of memory.
In his anxiety to place Governor Ham
ma in a bad light he inadvertently
,lambasts his great friend, Hon. John
Burke.
There are seven members Of the
board, four of whom were named by
former Governor Burke and three hJ
Governor Hanna. The old Burke
regime still dominates the board.
The Forum is not inclined to take
much stock in the assertions that are
current to the effect that the board is
scheming to Gust President Worst ana
Professors add and Bolley, but il
there should be any foundation to thu
theory that the members are active in
this respect, it is only fair to Governor
Hanna to state that his appointtes on
the board merely constitute a minority,
rot the controlling majority as Editor
Wilkinson states.

"scooPING" THE WORLD.

A news agency sent out to the world
the fact that the pope was dead, sew
eral hours before his actual demise.
And this agency is now claiming that
it "scooped the world. The Forum is
in receipt of the following dispatch
from the Associated Press:
To members Of the Associated
Press:
New York, Aug. 2O.-Pope Plus
x. died at 1:20 o'clock. Rome time,
this (Thursday) morning, as an
nounced in last nights dispatches
Of the Associated Press. There is
six hours difference in time be-
tween New York and Rome, SO
that the hour of his death, New
York time, was 1920 p. m.
At 2:29 p. m, New York time
(8:29 p. m, Rome time), Wednes-
day, or 4 hours and 81 minutes
before the pontiff had actually
passed away, the United Press as
s%OciatiOn distributed throughout
this country a formal announce
ment that the pope was dead. AS
will be seen, the United Press an
nOunCement vas false.
NJ. e. stone, C. NJ. T. A. P.
The pope died at 1:20 o'clock (Rome
time) Thursday morning, which is
7:2O p. m. New York time. Yet the
news Of his death was published in the
United States Thursday afternoon,
hours before the actual demise of the
pontiff, and many of the papers that
published the account are u~nblushing-
ly boasting Of how they ''scooped the
world. 1t is this kind Of '%scooping''
which is the greatest menace to Amer
lean journalism.
Under the present censorship of war
news, many wild rumors are constant
ly afoat, but they invariably prove to
be false and unreliable.
A rumor that is current today is
hat a large number of English war
ships have been destroyed by a. Ger
man torpedo fleet. This announce
ment was published last evening by
The New York Herald and 2 Chicago
paper,
Perhaps it is true. But, until it is
confirmed from reliable sources, The
Forum will not publish it in its news
columns.
