PRESIDENT TAFT
SOUNDS A WARNING
Explains What Will Happen
if This Country Inter-
venes in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-What
American Intervention in Mexico wouc
mean was discussed by former Presiden,
Taft tonight In an address before the
National Geographical society, with a
word OF warming to those who advocated
such step.
"The situation is in such condition
that IL will be improper for me TO com
ment on it, he said. except TO say this;
That those who lightly look forward to
Intervention are either utterly regard
less OF the loss Of life and the eNpendi-
ture OF immense treasure, or else they
don't know what armed intervention or
the part OF this government in Mexico
will mean.
'Those OF us who have had experience
in the tranquiIjzlng OF tropical coun-
try with a people not very different from
the Mexicans, who take naturally to guer-
rilla warfare and who would rather fight
than work-that is, would rather fight
and run than work-lsnow the difficult
ties that an army would have to meet
to accomplish the only purpose that We
would haye IN going In, to wit, the bring
ing about OF law and order
1T would involve the garrisonlng with
a sufficient force of every town. II
would involve the organization OF col
umns TO chase the guerrllas into their
mountin Businesses and across the desert
plains and the subjugation of $4,000, 001
OF people. No effort ought to be omitted
to prevent Il catastrophe like this
Mr.. Taft described TO the society how
Colonel Goethals was found TO build
the Panama canal, and, referring to The
proposal 10 make the colonel police com
missioner OF New York. advised against
taking such a man from the service OF
the national government. He proposed
that congress. after the canal is In op-
Grafton, elevate Colonel Goethals TO the
rank OF major general and authorize the
president TO name him chief engineer OF
the army incidentally. Mr.. Taft took
occasion to publicly recommend to Mayor
Mitchell for the police commissionerShlr
CAPTAIN James G.. Harboard OF the First
cavalry.
Telling of the controversy in congress
that arose over the choice OF the lock
tvpe canal for Panama, Mr.. Taft
said "the great power" that terminated
the discussion was the direct influence
of President Roosevelt.

Set of Tools and Opium
Layout Found in Room
by Detectives.
"HAT the plans of gang Of coun-

f" HAT the plans of a gang Of coun-
terfeiters to make and circulate
spurious coins hero were nipped
in the bud by the arrest of one
man and two women shortly after mid
night last night, is the belief of the
police.
A full set of alleged counterfeiter IS
tools was found in grip among the
belongings of the three under arrest.
Going to D West First South street
rooming house in search of their quarry,
Detectives Herbert Leichter, Moroni
Gillespie, II. d. Lyon and Reed Billings
found only the women, Mrs. H. Whalen
and Grace Lloyd, there. They imme-
dlately arrested them, and Detectives
Leichter and Gillespie went out on the
street to watch for tho man. He was
arrested within few minutes and the
ordered held for the United States gov
ernment, The man gave the name
James Whalen.
According to the police they have
had Whalen under surveillance for more
than two months. According to Detec-
tive Leichter, Whalen was arrested
about two months ago and his belong
ings searched without results.
In addition to the tools which are
suIu W COHSllluLc al ICSultT VOuutcI-
feiting outfit, two opium-smoking clay
OUTS were found in the room from
which the women were taken.
The alleged counterfelting outfit in
cluded two ladels, an alcohol lamp, Il
die holder, wise, n small quantity of
metal that appeared to be silver and
a small package of plaster of paris.
When asked about the tools last night
the women denied all knowledge of
them. Whalen asked what he was
wanted for when Detective Leichter
stepped up to him on the street, and
was told that he would have to explain
to a court how he came into possession
of certain things found in his room.
He made no comment, but on the way
to headquarters appeared to be looking
for a chance TO make Il run for liberty,
so much so that Detective Gillespie
changed positions with the prisoner IN

alleys that the officers and prisoners
had TO pass,
