STUDIED EFFORTS To INSULT
THE UNITED STATES
HAS BEEN THE CONSTANT AND MFAI[IhG POLICY OF
DICTATOR HUtR1A
THE sIExICANs A GOOD SQUARE


Washington, April 16.-The fol-
lowing official statement was issued
yesterday as representing the views
of President Wilson and the admin
istration:
I'm discussion in official circles in
Washington of the Mexican situation
the following points have been very
much dwelt upon:
1T has been pointed out that in
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must
not be thought of alone. For some
time past the defacto government of
Mexico has seemed to think mere
apologies sufficient when the rights
of American citizens or the dignity
of the government Of the United
States were involved, and has APP
parently made no attempt at either
reparation or of effective correction
of the serious derelictions OF its
civil and military officers.
'Immediately after the incident a.
Tampico an orderly from one Of the
ships of the United States IN the
harbor of Vera Cruz who had been
sent ashore 10 the postofTice for the
ships mail and who was in uniform
and who had the official mailbag on
his back, was arrested and pat into
jail by the local authorities. He
was subsequently released and a
nominal punishment inflicted upon
the officer who had arrested him;
but it was significant that an orderly
from the fleet OF the United States
Was picked out from the many per
sons constantly going ashore on var
ious errands from the various ships
in the harbor representing several
nations.
Most serious of all, the officials
in charge Of the telegraph office at
Mexico City presumed to withhold an
official dispatch of the government
of the United States to it's embassy
at Mexico City, until it should have
been sent to the censor and his per-
mission received to deliver it, and
gave the dispatch into the hands Of

Delegates to Baltimore Convention
Declare Tolls Exemption Plank

Washington, April 16.-Southern-
ers who were delegates to the Bal
timore convention are writing to
Senator Gore letters repudiating the
Senator Gore wrote to them asking
them to declare themselves as to
whether they now favor the repeal
of free tolls.
Albert L. Cox, an attorney at law
of Raleigh, y. c., and a delegate to
the Baltimore convention writes:
Il beg to say that / am in hearty
accord with the views of President
Wilson. / further feel sure that had
the matter of free tolls been discuss
ed on the floor of the national con-
vention at Baltimore, that the plat
form would not have contained Sec
tion favoring it,
B. w. Crouch, an attorney at law,
of Saluda, S. c., and a delegate to
the Baltimore convention writes:
y believe with all my heart that
the president is right in this matter
and the right should prevail even if
plank in the party platform must
be repudiated. In other words, if a
plank in a platform is IN conflict with
what is right, l should stick to the
right. When men are guided by
what is right and just and true, they
cannot err
Former Governor John Gary
Evans, attorney at law, Spartanburg,
S. c.. who was delegate to the Bal
timore convention, writes:
Had it been known by the con
vention at large that this plank was
in the platform it would have been
expunged by a.oyerwhelming major
ity. | trust that the Senate will
stand by the president and repeal the
law"
A. S. Bradley, an attorney at law
of SWainsboro, Ga, and a delegate
to the Baltimore convention, writes:
You will probably recall that on
the night Of the day Mr. Wilson was
nominated and before the conven-
ton really adjourned, at least four
fifths of the delegates left Baltimore.

 ssIt becomes me to thank you for the interest taken in my welfare while
 away. from my home city, and to inc form my friends that their anxiety for the welfare of the voyagers on board of the Cedric was not without great cause. The. real condition and gravity of our situation can not be full ly realized and understood by, one not placed in such jeopardy as we were during several days of our homeward journey, but suffice it to say that the
 trying ordeal through which we pass- ed,5 and the dangers connected there with will not soon be effaced from the minds of the passengers of the Ce- dr1c- Our voyage was pleasant and uneventful after leaving Liverpool on the 30th, and the state of the things (Continued on Page S.)

WILSON ORDERS QUIZ INTO RISE OF FOOD PRICES l President Tells Attorney General To Investi-
 gate l EXECUTIVE vExED BY THE ExToRTIoN Fails To See Why European War Should Jump
 Prices Here

Washington, Aug. 1s-President wilson today directed Attorney Gen. eraI McReynoIds te investigate recent increases in prices 2of foodstuffsI and to take up the question whethel. any persons responsible can be prosecut- led.
 The President sent the fo1lowing let ter to the ,attorney general:
 saThe rapid and unwarrantetl inc crease in the prices of foodscuifs in this country upon the pretent ef the conditions existing an Europe is so serious and vital a matter t1aa1 take the liberty of calling your attention to it.
 CT would be very much obliged if vou would advise mo whether there is, under existing law any action vvsszcRa the department of justice couId take either by way of Investigation or legal process. and what federal leg isaataon, if any. would in your judg- rnent be justifabIe and warrantable in the circumstances.
 IT feel that this is a matter which we cannot let pass by without trying to serve the country. Certainly the country ought to be defended if pos 1 stble against men who would take ad- vantage of such circumstances to fn- crease the price of food and the difa- i cuIties of living"
 The President took mp the question of increasing prices the first thing to- day and was impressed by the press ure of the situation. He at once de- cided that legal action should be taken, if possible. and that if there were no law covering the question now, Legislation should be passed.
 oa1cfaIs said the President consid- cred that in many cases the increases were wholly unjusttfiabae.
 Attorney General McReynolds at lonce replied to the President as fol- flows:
 q have your letter of August IS, dn reference to the unwarranted in- Grease in the price of foodstuffs.
 sThe head of our special agents ehave been instructed to give direc- taons to his men throughout the coun- try to begin Investigations in order Y tsendng the various district attorneys similar instructions. This should en- ] aFlIe us to secure some definite 1nfor- hmation tn respect of true condimons.
 s.N1ay take the liberty of suggest ing that perhaps the agents of the de- parn,aent of commerce could render valuable assistance along the lines in- dicated?
 srwhen we have become somewhat tton. hope to be able to make you some suggestions in. respect of legal proceedings or appropriate legisla- tton
 seThe department has for some time been making investigations in var ions directions concerning the price oi food stuffs.''
 The President at once instructed Secretary RedfeId to have his agents begin similar investigations.

 The republicans consider the pros poets bright for a G. o. F. victory in Berlin this fall The town has al- ways had an overwhelming republi- can majority and for this reason the republicans feel able to conduct things to suit themselves.
 The caucus for the selection of can- d1dates on the town ticket will have to be held some time before the mid dle of September, as the law requires that tWenty-one days elapSe between this event and the election which comes on the first Monday in October.
 William w. Pagan, chairman of, the democratic town committee, said this morning that he was not ready yet ao issue the call for the caucus of his party. He said, however, that it is probable the session will be held in the town hall during the first week of next month. At this caucus the democrats will nominate town ticker in addition to naming delegates to the state, congressional, senatorial ann county conventions.
 At the annual meeting and banquet of the republican town committee held at the Hotel Beloin in New Brit ain Saturday evening, June 13, the policy for the coming campaigns was shaped. With this preliminary work already completed it is expected that Mondays caucus will be brief and harmonious.
 Berlin will elect d representative to the general assembly this fall to suc- coed Daniel Webster, and will also .bave a hand in the election of sen ator from the fifth senatorial district of which it is part

 Woodruff Gets Settlement.
 Harry B. Francis of Southington, the autoist, who endangered the lives of several local people and some prop erty Saturday afternoon by throwing a lighted match into a funnel which James Woodruff, the grocer, was using while pouring gasoline into his machine, has made settlement. Ac- companied by Deputy Sheriff McCabe of Southington, he came to Berlin Monday night and paid for the dam age which he had done to MT. Wood- ruff s property. He was profuse in his apologies and attributed his fool ish action to the fact that he was un- der the influence of liquor at the time.
 He had been notified by Deputy Sheriff James Clark of this town to either settle up or stand the conse- quences of court trial
 As was reported in the Herald Mon- day evening, MT. Woodruff had just begun pouring gasoline into Mr. Fran cis car, when the latter shouting That stuff won't burn!' took a match from his pocket, scratched it on the sole of his shoe and threw it into the partly filled funnel The grocer bare ly escaped being burned.
 Sf MT. Woodruff went into his store to answer the telephone, without paying for the damage or the gasoline A bystander got his number however, and this aided the authorities in ap- pretending the autoist.
