Moore's Resignation Continues
Be Topic of Lively Discussion

chiefs. all took pains to say that the
counsellor had carried out administra-
ton policies when once agTed upon.
One phase of the resigna' ion being
widely discussed was that Mr.. Moore.
at the end of his administration, found
himself performing du les usually as
signed to officials far below the rank
of counsellor and at times learned
much regarding the administrations s
policies from news dispatches. One Of
such instances being referred to today
was when Mr. Moore first heard of
the sending of John Lind to Mexico
through the newspapers.
Discussion of possible successors
continued without any announcement
of a selection. HanHis Taylor. former
minister to Spain: John Lind, now the
presidents personal representative in
Mexico, and Henry White. former am
hassador to France, were being men
toned

ment also is vacant, no successor hav-

Washington. March 5.--John Bassett
Moore's resignation was effective today
and the state department was without
a counsellor. Mr.. Moore prepared to
take up his work with the Carnegie
endowment for international peace and
later to resume his place as head of
the department of international law at
Columbia universitsI, New York.
Although official correspondence be-
tween President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Mr.. Moore announcing the
resignation emphasized that the coun-
sellor was leaving the government
service only because the term he had
agreed to serve was at an end, there
was continued discussion in ofsicial and
diplomatic circles OF lack OF harmony
between Secretary Bryan and Counsel
Tor Moore and persistent stories of how
Mr.. Moore became dissatisfied with the
ARRANGEMENT of his duties in thu state
department
While 1T was admitted that Mr..
Moore's views on the recognition of the
Huerta government in Mexico and the
administrations course in other for
eiRn affairs differed from those of his

El Paso, March 5.--Gen. Luis Ter
razas, the octogenarian head Of a veal
thy Mexican family, today appealed to
Marion Letclher, the American consul
at chihuahua, TO save his son, Luis,
who General Villa has decreed shall
die tomorrow unless a ransom of five
hundred thousand pesos Is paid. Con-
sui Letcher declared himself deeply
moved, but had to reply that he was
helpless in the matter.
'I am so years old, and neither life
nor money mean much to me. My son
Luis has thirteen children. 7 would
gladly return to Chihuahua, and Villa
could kill me instead of my son." de-
clared Gen. Terrazas.
At the time OF Terrazas's arrest the
rebels demanded six hundred and fifty
thousand in gold. The sum was slow
in being paid and Luis was taken out
and Q moose adjusted about his neck.
He was hoisted from his feet and final
ly signalBed he would pay the sum de-
nanded. all be. had in . Chihuahua
bank. He was then permitted to live
In one OF his fatnars' houses, under a
guard.
Gen. Villas last move was to notify

arrived here today to attempt to get a
hearing before the senate foreign re-
lations committee and give his views
on the aTexican situation, Pedro del
Vilar and Cccelio Ocon, who represent
ed themselves as his supporters, ap-
peared before the committee yester-
day to ask what attitude this govern
ment would take toward n revolution
headed py Diaz. The general himself,
in New York last declared he did not
know the two men.
Diaz, notwithstanding his denial that
he knew neither ViIar uor Cecelio
Ocon, came here in response to mes
sages urging him to plead his own
cause. Whether the committee will
hear him has not been determined, but

win many influential citizens of the re-
public as we'll as officers OF General

It developed today that before the
commit ttee yesterday Ocon and Vilar
declared ninety per cent o. the people
of Mexico would back Diaz in an ef-
fort to overthrow Huerta-

the senators asked, why don't you
turn in and settle the whole trouble
at once?"
The Diaz followers stated they
wished the moral support of this gov
ernment in such movement.
Questions as TO whether there were
available finances for such an attack
on the Huerta government were met
with evasive replies and IL was inferred
by some senator's that It was the p1ir-
pose of the Diaz movement to attack
Huerta with his own forces IN the same
way as leaders Of the Madero govern
ment turned on him when Huert@
seized the refns Of power.
Diaz remained at his hotel most oe
the day contemplating a, conference
with Senator Fail.
