WORLD TOLD
TO KEEP OUT
Mexico Must Settle Her Own
Difficulties, Says Bryan.
RElCHsTAG is INFORMED
State Department For the Present
Declines To Enter Into Cues
tion OF Liability For
Losses.
tcopyrightS

Washington. - While admitting it's
accuracy Secretary Bryan declined to
discuss further the statement by the
German Under Secretary of State to
the Imperial Parliament that Germany
had been notified by the United States
that nobody outside of Mexico could
enforce settlement of that country's
present difficulties.
The view that the Mexican factions
should be allowed to adjust their diff
ferences free from outside interior
ence was expressed when the Ameri-
can Government gave notice to the
world powers that its embargo against
the expectation of arms to Mexico had
been raised.
Officials pointed out that similar ex-
pressions had been communicated re-
peatedly to other powers when their
diplomatic Representatives asked what
the United States intended to do in
regard to Mexico.
The question of Mexican response
bility for losses sustained by foreign
ers resident in Mexico as a result of
the revolutionary disturbances is one
which at present the State Depart
ment declines to enter upon. 1t was
suggested that the German Under Sec
rotary expressed only the German view
when he said assurances had been
given that all losses would be in
demnified. The history of past revo-
lutionary movement in the Western
Hemisphere presents some contradic-
lions of doctrine in this regard and the
disposition of the officials is to leave
such matters to be adjusted after the
present revolution is ended.

SALE OF WASHINGTON RELICS
Hair Seems to Be Declining Ia Price,
But Letter Commands a High
Figure.

Coincidentally, from London and
New York, there came to light two
curious items Of Americana, both con-
corning souvenirs OF George Wash
ington's administration as first presi-
dent of the United States. It appears
that the famous generals hair is de-
clining in price, while one of his let
tiers is selling at a high figure.
The hair, a lock which is asserted
upon oath to be one clipped from the
head Of Washington by one of the pail
bearers at his funeral, and which sold
last year at auction for $3.50, was dis
posed of at a sale Of Americana here
recently for 800.
At the same time in London a letter
written by Washington on the day aft
er his election as the first president of
this country was sold for 5000. The
letter is one to Samuel Powell, dated
February 5, 1889.
The letter was never published. In
1t Washington refers to George HIS
first attack of madness. saying, "Be
the cause of the British kings insan-
ity what it may, his situation III

Comes up on INTERPOLATION.

Berlin.-The matter of other powers
icing indirectly requested to keep out
of Mexico came up in the Reichstag
on an Interpolation by two of the Ma
tional Liberal leaders as to whether
Provisional President Huerta had
made representations to Germany in
regard to the raising of the embargo
on arms by the United States"
The Interpolation was replied to by
Dr. Alfred Zimmerman. Under Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs, who
said the United States Government,
when it informed Germany of the rails
ing of the embargo. had expressed the
conviction that nobody outside of Mex
leo could effect settlement of that
country's difficulties.
The restoration of peace in Mexico,
Dr. Zimmerman said, could be hoped
for only if the Mexican parties were
allowed to fight out their quarrels
without interference. and the raising
of the embargo merely gave American
citizens the same right of selling arms
as was enjoyed by other nations.
The Under Secretary informed the
House that measures had been taken
to protect Germans in Mexico and de-
clared that Mexico would be held fully
responsible for all their property
losses.

President wilson's Tribute.

Washington, d. C.-When President
Wilson heard of Senator Bacon's death
he was sitting at his typewriter. He
wrote the following statement on his
machine and issued it to the press:
.'All who knew Senator Bacon will
sincerely deplore his death. 1t de-
prives the Senate of one of its oldest
and most experienced members, a man
who held with something like rever-
ence to the traditions of the great
body of which he was so long a part
and who sought in all that he did to
maintain it's standards of statesman
ship and service. The great State of
Georgia will greatly miss her distin-
guished son and servant. My own as
sociation with him had been of the
most cordial and, to me. helpful sort.
particularly profited by his expert
ence in foreign affairs"

GROUND BROKEN
ON LINCOLN DAY
So, 100000 Memorial to the
Emancipation is Begun.
STARTED BY A sOuTHERNER.
Prominent Men From North and
South Join In Exercise-Hon-
ored In Senate and
House.

Washington.-Whi freezing winds
swept across the Potomac from the
sloping Virginia hills where stands the
Lee Mansion at Arlington, a barehead-
ed Southern officer of the Civil War
opened the simple exercises that mark
ed the breaking of the ground for the
construction of the great white mar
BILE memorial the nation is about to
erect to Abraham Lincoln. This day,
the one hundred and fifth anniversary
of Lincoln's birth, was chosen for the
breaking of the ground for the $4,000
600 structure, which will rise as rapid
ly as the contractors can push the
work.
Only a small group gathered to witt
ness the significant event, Joseph c. S.
Blackburn, former senator from Ken
lucky, was the first to sink spade
into the ground and then with I'M
covered head he spoke in high praise
of the memory of the President against
whom he fought half a century ago.
"This memorial will show that Lin
coin is now regarded as the greatest
of all Americans" said Senator Black
/
burn, "and that he is so held by the
South, as well as the North. Today
we let the country know that this great
work has been begun and will be car
ried on steadily until its completion"
NJ. f. Conner, of Toledo. o.; Colonel
w. w. Harris, Lieutenant J. A. O'Con-
nor, u. S. A.. H. A. Vale, John F. Be
thune and Henry Bacon sought turns
with the spade for the honor of aiding
in starting the building of the me-
mortal.
In the Senate it was a Southerner
who made the motion to adjourn out OF
respect to the memory of Lincoln. The
motion was made without pre-arrange-
ment by Senator Overman, of North
Carolina; following the reading of the
former Presidents Gettysburg address
by Senator Bradley, of Kentucky 1t
was Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, who had
suggested that the Senate might we'll

day anniversary. The House, too.
paused in it's deliberations to pay its
respect to the memory of the great
emancipation.

SENATOR BACON'S
DEATH A SHOCK
To His Colleagues by The Unex-
pected News.
GREAT LOSS TO PRESIDENT.
As Chairman Of the Foreign Affairs
Committee Re Represented the
President In Important Mat
tiers Now Pending.

Washington, d. C.-Augustus Oc-
tavius Bacon, United States senator
from Georgia for nearly 10 years and
chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee since the ascendancy OF
the Democratic party March A, 1913,
died in hospital here after an illness
of ten days. He was the first United
States senator elected by direct vote
of the people under the Seventeenth
Constitutional Amendment.
Though Senator Bacon had been
seriously i'll with kidney trouble and
complications developing, from a
broken rib, his death was unexpected.
The immediate cause Of the Sem
ator's death was diagnosed as blood
clot in the heart
In the absence of Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, Senator Overman
was notified and proceedings in the
Senate were abruptly halted when the
North Carolina Senator announced the
death. A brief resolution of respect
was adopted and the Senate adjourned.
The death of no member of either
branch of Congress in years is more
widely deplored than that Of the senior
Senator from Georgia. His long serv-
ice, his loyalty to the Democratic
party and his usefulness as the chair
man Of one Of the most powerful COM
mittees. of the Senate made his pass
ing felt with keen sense of personal
loss at the White House, at the Capitol
and elsewhere throughout the city.
For Is years the Georgian had been
a member of the Foreign Relations
Committee. He had studied the prob
lens of that period as closely perhaps
as any man who sat in the Senate in
his time. And in his debates on the
floor he showed his clear insight into
the complications between the United
States and other governments.
1t is for this reason, among others
that the Administration feelS bereaved.
The Senate itself also is conscious of
distinct loss. That body had no
more consistent defender of its dignity,
its prerogatives, its functions than Sen
ator Bacon. One of his last con-
troversies revolved around that very
matter. He demanded that Senators
be given precedence over members of
the Cabinet on all official occasions,
on the theory that Senators are created
by the Constitution, whereas Cabinet
officials are mere creatures of Con-
gress.

pronounced sentence after Schmidt.
through his counsel, T. j. McManus,
announced he had nothing to say.
Just before Schmidt was called into
court the newspapermen sent him a
message asking him if he wished to
make a statement. He sent back q
carefully penned note, as follows:
Beyond this vale of tears there is a
life above,
Unmeasured by the fight of years.
And all that life is love.
No Sign Of Emotion.
Schmidt took his sentence with alb
soIutely no show of emotion. He stood
erect before Justice Davis and looked
straight at him, taking no notice what
ever of anyone else around him. When
Justice Davis put the question: Have
you anything to say before sentence is
passed upon you?" he merely leaned
slightly forward There was a pause,
and Attorney McManus moved for a
new trial and stay of sentence. Both
motions were denied.
Immediately after sentence was pro-
nounced Deputy Sheriff Bowers step
ped to the mans side with a pair Of
handouts. Schmidt turned to Bowers
and coolly held out his hands.
The prisoner wore a fur overcoat,
with clean white muffier about his
neck. His beard, grown since he was
arrested, was tucked into the collar OF
the overcoat. His whole appearance
was vastly improved since he was last
in court.
Schmidt was taken to Sing Sing i'm
