ShiVeIy Demands Apology.

Senator Shively, acting as chairman
Of the Foreign Relations Committee
manifested some reluctance in discuss
ing the Mexican situation in view of the
apparent crisis that has arisen.
Il will say this" he said. THE ac-
tion of the President to-day will settle
the whole matter. There will be no
drawing back by the United States. IT
the salute is not fired as we have de-
manded the marines will be landed. The
MeXicans will be punished for their in
suits 70 the flag and for their impu-
dence when we demanded redress. Until
we hear from the President the Foreign
Relations Committee will take no action
Nothing can be done until Huerta's re-
ply TO the President is received"
ut seems absurd TO me-" said Senator
McCumber, that this country should in
tervene in Mexico or attempt to set up a
new government because a few sailors
have been arrested. I do not mind inter
vention for reasons which will justify it
American citizens have been killed and
their property confiscated-but I do not
like the present excuse"
Senator Norris took much the same
view as Senator McCumber.
at would be an advantage to Huerta 10
be beaten by great power" he said.
rather than TO be whipped by Villa, who
would probably kill him If he captured
him. / do not like wrangling over a sa-
lutte; we should take a firmer stand on
the murder Of Americans and think less
about how a salute is 10 be fired 10 the
flag"
This ought TO bring the matter to an
end" said Senator Hoke Smith. The
Presidents action is highly satisfactory"
"A resolution will be passed without
delay giving the President authority 20
use the land and naval forces, II 1t should
be necessary" said Senator Cummins.
II am glad of it," said Senator Shep-
pard, when he heard OF the Presidents
ultimatum. THE people will be back of
the President in this affair"
"If no salute is fired, I have no doubt
Congress will authorize the President TO
use the army and navy without delay
said Senator Smoot
Ample time has been given to Huerta,' -
said Senator Williams. "He has done all
he could to bring things TO such a pass
lie is trying TO save his face in Mexico,
but the patience Of the American people
has its limits"
There was rejoicing among members OF
ell factions In the House this afternoon
that an ultimatum had been served upon
Huerta and that the Mexican situation is
approaching a head. The House is ready
TO join. promptly at noon Monday in the
preliminaries for joint session Of the
two bodies IL President Wilson signifies
his desire to read a message.

continually.
Police Commissioner Woods has already
taken steps 10 see that an adequate num-
Der OF detectives cover the Mayor at all

Lawyers Aid Refused.

None Of them lawyers for me- he
ouavered. II don't want them around
me. don't want no counsel His
voice rose higher as he talked, and he
struck the table hard blow with his
fist. An attendant placed his hand on
the old mans shoulder and he became
calm again.
Then Mahoney leaned forward confid-
ingly and said: Judge, you know
what's best for me-" But when he was
again advised to get the aid Of counsel
he laughed as if he had caught the
Judge trying TO outwit him, and wagged
his head roguishly, showing that he
knew better than to take such advice.
His other triur' III came when AS
sistant District Attorney Du Vivier
suggested $4,000 bail for him. Ala
honey looked up surprised and seem
ingly delighted over the large sum.
He! hel" he cackled. $4,000. All!
ha! young man, why don't you make it
some more"
The charge against Mahoney-"at-
tempted murder"-is possible under a
law enacted after the assassination of
President Mckinley. Under ordinary
circumstances he would be charged
with felonious assault, which carries a
maximum penalty Of ten years. Under
tho charge against him he could be

the first witness and told OF the shoot

"Well, now, who do you think OF that?"

Recovery Rapid Since Removal
of Bullet from Jaw.

Corporation Counsel Frank l.. Polk was
rapidly recovering, It was said at the New
York Hospital last night from the effects
OF the bullet meant for Mayor Mitchell,
but lodged in his law. The doctors agree
he will leave the hospital in few days.
Since the bullet was removed Mr. Folks
condition has been more favorable The
Mayor visited him early and stayed al
most an hour.
Frank is getting along splendidly,"
said the Mayor. He is cheerful and talks
away when the doctors do not stop him.
He is able 10 take liquid nourishment
without difficulty
The bullet that was az first supposed to
have imbedded itself under Mr. Polk s
tongue was found near the skin of the
jaw.

Hartwell, that Mr.. Polk might have re-
moved it with his fingers"

bench, Mahoney laid his worn derby on
the counsel table and rested on his
heavily knuckled hands az he leaned
forward looking in the magistrates
face.
There was nothing Of fear about him
his whole treatment since arrest has
been gentle-as he listened to Magis-
trate Simms define his rights. His first
outbreak came when he was told he
was entitled to counsel and an adjourn
ment. One of his notions is that law
yers and judges have ruined him, and
he rose TO the suggestion.

"Oh, no." replied Mahoney. II don't
want to say word. Just let the law
settle me. Judge, you settle it. / don't

An attendant and several alienists stood
by him as bail was fixed at $4,000, for
Nahoney lost his apathy thinking over

detectives took him by the arms and led

Senator's Demand That Huerta

Apologize.

Washington. April 1s.-If the President
should find It necessary in carrying out
his purpose 10 lay the Mexican situation
before Congress on Monday his message
will meet with steady response. prob
sblv in the form Of a resolution authoriz-
ing him 10 use the armed forces Of the
limited States TO enforce his demands.
There was no question of the purpose Of
members Of both houses TO stand behind
The President. Some members Of the SEN
ate. however. expressed dissatisfaction
With the policy that hitherto has been
pursued by the administration in taking
no action concerning the attacks upon
Americans and the destruction of their
property and in making the Tampico Incl
dent the basis for the probable opening
Of hostities.
The situation is now in the hands Of
Mr.. Wilson. Whatever the President asks
will be done.
The action taken by President Mckinley
prior to the declaration of war with Spain
was recalled by Senators to-day. who in
terested themselves in looking up prece-
dents for such action as Congress may be
called upon TO take on Monday In his
message Of April II, 1895 with reference
10 the Cuban situation, President McKin-
lev uttered words which, with little modi-
fcation might be applied 10 the situation
IN Mexico
McKinley's Precedent.
"The long trial" he said, has proved
that the object for which Spain has waged
the war cannot be attained. The fire OF
instruction may fame or may shoulder
with varying seasons. but IL has not been,
and II is plain that it cannot be, extin-
guished BY present methods. The only
hope Of relief ard repose from a condition
which can no longer be endured is the en-
forced pacifcation Of Cuba. In the name
Of humanity. in the name OF civilization,
IN behalf Of endangered American inter
esis which give us the right and the duty

cooked his head knowingly. you say you

piled the Commissioner was about to be
caught in a trap. We'll, then, you don't
look anything like him. The man who
got me first is locked up by the Mayor.
He's the one and not you"
Mahoney stopped and began to humble
TO himself, and the Commissioner was ex-
cused from the stand by a nod from Mag
istrate Simms.
Second Deputy Commissioner Rubin
took the stand and repeated what he had
been told by Mahoney.
THE defendant told me-" said Mr.. Ru-
bin, that he had planned to shoot the
Mayor when he was turned from his Of

II Mahoney listened to this testimony

He was in a reverie when Magistrate
Simms asked him sharply, What is your

Mahoney shot his lean neck out Of a
collar several sizes too big, and looked
for all the world Ike a wrinkled turtle
that has heard noise.

A HISTORIC CHRISTMAS.
Charlemagne Crowned as Emperor of
the Romans 1,10O Years Ago.

Charlemagne Crowned as Emperor of
the Romans 100 Years Ago.
On Dec. %, in the year 500, the holy
Roman empire was born. Europe was
in the iron grasp Of Charlemagne. The
great king had gone to Rome to in
vestigate charges lodged against the
pope. Leo Ill. The pontiff made good
his defense and on Dec. % took a sol
emn oath of exculpation. Two days
later. early on Christmas morning. the
pope celebrated mass in the great ba-
silica OF st. Peters, church not at all
like the huge renaissance structure
reared by Bramante and MichelangelO.
The edifce was crowded to the
doors. for all Rome fiOcked in those
days to see the wonderful Frank. who,
like Mohammed, spread his gospel by
the sword Charles. clad in Roman
costume. with the chIamys hanging
from his shoulders. knelt in prayer be
fore the tomb Of St. Peter. When be
rose to his feet Leo approached and.
placing golden crown upon the kings
head. acclaimed him emperor of the
Romans Again the pontiff folded
him in purple mantle. and a great
shout went up from the people as a
greeting to the first OF the new Cae-
sarS. .-. -..-.
The scene is thus described by Egin
hard, the historian of Charlemagne:
AT the moment when. in his place be-
fore the altar, he was bowing down
to pray Pope Leo placed on his head
a crown. and all the Roman people
shouted. Long life and victory to
Charles Augustus. crowned by God.
the great and pacific emperor Of the
Romansr After this proclamation the
pontiff prostrated himself before him
and paid him alteration. according to
the custom established in the days Of
the old emperors. and thenceforward
Charles, giving up the title of patri
clan, bore that Of emperor and Au
gustus."
A. millennium later. on the banks of
the Seine. another pope crowned an
other emperor. who had planted his
throne on the wreck of the fabric
reared by Charlemagne.

Volunteers Need
Help to Fill the
Christmas Baskets

Nearly a hundred families have already
applied to the Volunteers Of America for
a Christmas basket. The Volunteers will
distribute 80 baskets this Christmas, but
contributions have been tagging a bit
and Major Mccormick is asking for more
donations.
The advance petitions for baskets have
been so great that Major Mccormick an
ticpates that he will find far more than
80 unfortunate families who will find
their only Christmas cheer in what the
generous may bequeath.

for contributions which will help fill the

America distribute each Christmas to
bring a little Christmas cheer into the
shabby homes of the poor and needy.
