Give Reason for Taking
Carothers Exequatur

Mexico City, April 6.-The Mexican for
eign minister, Senior Portillo Y Rojas,
informed The Associated Press today
that the Mexican government had inter-
cepted telegram from George c. Ca
rothers, the American consular agent at
Torreon, to Secretary of State Bryan, de-
claring sit advisable to persist in the
statement that Torreon had fallen though
such was not the case, in order to pre-
vent the government from getting rein
forcements to the aid of yelasco''
This, said the foreign minister. was the
reason for the withdrawal of Consul Ca
rothers' exequatur,
In making this announcement the min
lister appeared to be fully convinced that
the Federals were still holding Torreon
He said that President Huerta had 50
told him.
The war department announced the re-
ceipt today of dispatches from the GUS
toms agent at Piedras Negras reporting
that Generals De Moure and Mas, at the
head of their forces, had entered Tor

ported to be at San Pedro, where they
were meeting with strong opposition from

though American Consular Agent Ca
rothers has been in close communica-
ton with General Villa he has made
no reference to this decree of expul-
sion, and the only word that came to
the state department today from Tor
reon was a report that the best of
order prevailed there and that all
foreigners were safe.
The situation of the Spaniards who
were forced out of Chihuahua four
months ago is said to be one of I'M
certainty and hardship. For the most
part they crossed the border and set
tied in the neighberhood of Ell Paso,
where they have set to work to main
tain themselves by their own labor
until they can find an opportunity to
return to their homes in Mexico.
International law authorities here
hold that these people, as well as the
Spaniards of Torreon, if they are ex-
PEELED, will have perfectly sound claim
for full indemnity for their losses
against any government that may be
permanently set up in Mexico.

Democratic Break


Denver. Colo, April 6.-"There is

clared Medil Mccormick, Progressive
National committeeman from Illinois,
in an address to the conference Of
Colorado Progressives tonight. THE
harmony which marked the passage of
the currency bill through Congress is
broken, and cries of treason and re-
pudiation mark the long threatened d.
vision in the Democracy"
Mr.. Mccormick said the disagree
ment over canal tolls confirmed the
meaning of the ominous silence with
which the Democracy had received this
Presidents recommendation for pres
idential primaries.
In discussing trust legislation Mr..
Mccormick said the Democrats must
either retreat from their position and
adopt the Progressive position, or they
must pass legislation counter to the
welfare of the country and its busi-
ness,

Every consideration has been shown

been given plenty of time to carry
away with them their household eff
fects and other possessions but not
one has been permitted to remain in
side the rebel lines.
Justification for the wholesale depor-
tation, il is said, is found by the in
surgent chiefs IN Article SO of the
Mexican Constitution-the famous
"pernicious foreigner law"-which
gives Mexican authorities the right to
deport undesira BILE aliens.
Gen. Gutierrez followed his story of
the Spanish exodus by threat against
the Jesuits in Mexico.
And the Jesuits came next" he
said. Already 1t was learned numbers
of Catholic priests have been forced
to leave that country in which the
Guetierrez men are operating. Many
of the deported priests were said to
be Spaniards but a number were of

He devoted his address to two reasons
given in the Presidents message urg-
ing repeal, that exemption constituted
a violation of the Pauncefote
treaty, and that it was an economic
mistake.
He characterized as ridiculous the
contention that exception of American
coastwise shipping was necessity in
order to keep down the rail rates from
ocean to ocean. The Interstate Com
merce Commission had full power to
regulate railroad rates, he insisted, and
it was folly for the government to
seek to ransom itself from piracy, to
hire a competitor"

HISTORIC SPOT is UNMARKED.
Location of Nations First White
House, in Philadelphia, Known,
but That Is All.

Excepting for a few months, Wash
ington lived in Philadelphia during
his entire administrations as presi-
dent of the United States. and John
Adams did likewise during his term.
There was no White House. but a
brick house, and, as quite generally
known. it stood on the south side OF
Market street between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The house itself long
since disappeared. and it seems
strange that Philadelphia has never
taken the trouble to mark in suit
able way the spot where the nations
executive mansion stood when occu-
pied by the Father of His Country.
When Washington came to Phila-
delphia to attend the continental con-
gress before taking command of the
army, he lived in the SWEETEST board
ing house in the city. 1t was kept by
Mrs. Triste, at the southwest corner
of Fifth and Market streets. But
while more fashionable, the house has
been far less famous than the more
modest one, two blocks farther west,
at the southwest corner of Seventh
and Market streets. 1t was in the lat
ter that jefferson boarded and on
the second floor, corner room, in which
he wrote the Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
According to John Adams, who
could have qualified as chief gossip
at any quilting party, Philadelphia
was then away ahead of Boston and
New York as a fashionable center.
The great patriot told his impressions
in those voluminous letters TO his
wife. He was quite awed by the To-
cal or-Philadelphia Ledger

to avoid responsibility being thrust

ers as a result of its attitude toward

San Pedro Probably to Be

Tex, April 6.-San Pedro, 26 miles north
east of here, is expected to be the scene
of the next battle.
San Pedro, a hill-girt city whose nat
ural defences must be approached over a
fiat country, held a Federal garrison all
the time the battle of Torreon was be-
ing fought, but this force was prevented
by a rebel column from coming to the
assistance of General Velasco. Recently
a comparatively small force of rebels at
tempted to take the town, having under
estimated the strength of the garrison,
whose real numbers were developed by
the attack. q
The whereabouts of the troops driven
from this city last week is not known,
although it is believed Velasco is headed
for Saltillo
The Spanish colony ordered out of the
city by Gen. Villa, it is said, probably
will be placed on board trains for Juarez
tomorrow.
