to Take Up
..... Mexican Situation

WASHINGTON, March 5.-While
administration officials were consid-
ering the demands Of Governor Col
quit, Of Texas, for the extradition
from Monterey, Mexico, OF the four
men who killed Clements Vergara, the
American ranchman, the house and
senate were prepared today to delve
deeply into the Mexican problem.
Secretary of State Bryan is slated
to appear before the house committee
on foreign affairs and the members
are ready to thoroughly quiz the sec
rotary in order to thresh out what
policy the United States should as
sumo in the matter. The discussion
also is likely to be better, many anti
administration lawmakers being pre-
pared to take the stand that the Unit
ed States should intervene and put an
end to the lawlessness which they say
is now sweeping over the southern
republic.
In anti-administration circles the be

abandoned the idea of sending COM

said Senator Smith. 1.-THE efficacy of
such declaration is since lost"
The president declared all the
judgment that the exemption was In
violation of our treaty obligations.
Only in the United States, he said,
was the exemption clause regarded as
debatable or open to question. He
said he had not come to congress to
deliver a personal view but that con.
sideration of justice and wisdom led
him to believe that the provision
should be repealed without delay.
The president added that the Uni
ted States ought not to bubble" in
the matter of treaty obligations. He
intimated that the Panama tolls
question was involved in all the other
foreign questions now before the Uni.
ted States because he would not
know how to deal them unless the ex.
emption is repealed.

The tNTERESIiN STORY or A
MAN WHO FINALLY MADE GOOD
This is the story of a crook who
made good because man whom he
had wronged believed in the Golden
Rule rather than in the rule of ven
geance.
The story came through the death
of w. F. Curry in the Great Northern
Hotel last night.
Curry used to be a crook. And a
good one. The police of dozen cities
knew him. And they feared and re-
spected him. He started out as a
hold-up, but in the latter part of the
last century he turned to big game
and became on of the best known
con men in the country. j
But in 1902 something happened;
something that was eventful in Cur.
rvs life. He met S. K BaTstow, head
of the Vincent-Barstow Furniture Co.
Of Cleveland.
Barstow liked the daring criminal.
Possibly because he saw Curry
through different eyes and saw in
him the man that might have been.
After a few days the police were
surprised to learn that Barstow had
taken Curry under his wing and had
given him a responsible position.
They looked at the experiment with
cynical eyes. And they were right
1t happened very soon. Curry skip
ped and with him went $4,000 of the
firms money.
Curry was nabbed quick this time,
onlya week later, out West. He was
brought back to Cleveland. The po-
lice were jubilant At last they had a
clear case against Curry. And he
would go down to the penitentiary.
Barstow called at police headquar-
tiers to see the man he tried to help.
He asked to see Curry in private.
They were together for a long time.
When Barstow came out of the
room there was strange light of
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-01-27

said the police captain.
mo he won't be sent away" an
swered Barstow firmly. I'm going
to try my faith in him again. He
hasn't failed yet"
The entire city of Cleveland was
startled that night by the announce
ment that Barstow was going to take
Curry back. His friends pleaded with
him. His business associates pro-
tested. But BarstoW chung to his be-
lief in the man.
Hell make good,'' was all Bar
stow would say.
And Curry did make good His rise
in the business world was the talk
of Cleveland. He became power in
politics, married and at the end of ten
years was one of the leading citizens
of Cleveland.
Last week Barstow died and some
thing snapped in Curry After the
funeral he disappeared. A few days
ago he registered at the Great North
ern as wv. F. Jackson" He began to
drink morning, noon and night.
He was a very strange man."
those who drank with him said.
He died last night.
