The secretary totd the president that official re- ports indicated that the situation near Brownsville was of local character and that quiet prevailed at Vera Cruz, where there had been some anti-for-
 eign demonstrations. He outlined in detail the discussion of peace plans at New York yesterday.
 Neither the president nor Secretary
 Lansing was inclined to view the sit nation as requiring any further pre- eautionary measures than have been taken in sending battleships to MeXi- can waters and federal troops-to the Texas border They devoted most of
 tceir time to dis cussion of the inter- American plan, on which they are pin
 ning their hopes for an early restora- rion of peace in Mexico.
 The appeal to all the factions has not
 yet been sent. although signed by Sec
 reJary Lansing and the ambassadors
 and ministers of the six governments interested in the conference. On the
 . a.e of this action can, cane 9 tie announce
 1aent from the Villa agency tonight
 that General Carranza had flatly re-
 fused to enter into any peace confer , enee and would treat with his oppu

Why is ii Thus?

Since Frank Holt plased q bomb
in the capitol at Washington and
shot J. P. Morgan. a campaign for
the prevention of such occurrences
has been inaugurated. one of the
principal points of which is this:
"Eve,y threatening letter re-
ported to the Postohce authorities
will be given to Chief Inspect r
Rooms with instructions to trace
it to the author and enforce the
postal laws covering such Of
lenses.
Writers of threatening letters
are liable to have their liberty
snatched from them If this ruling
is enforced, but it seems to make
a difference whose goat is sought
by writer's of threatening letter..
At least the effort made by The
Menace to secure prosecution of
offenders of this kind has signally
failed. We have religiously sub.
mitted threatening letters to the
proper authorities and have always
been informed that the law had not
been violated.
We have letters now on file
which are threatening in the ex-
treme. and if the above ruling is
of any effect, if it is applicable to
all case, it a criminal threat is a
criminal threat, regardless of who
is threatened. then there ought to
be prosecution.
If the courts. press legislatures
and public places were not so sat-
urated with papal poison shere
would be more justice done and
less of crime. 1t makes a differ.
ence whose goat is annexed by she
writer's of threatening letters, but
if Chief Inspector Rooms vents
something to work Oh while the
Holt oase is developing, we can
furnish q bunch of letters that
will make his hair curl, and shock
his ssnsibllities.
But the hounds are on another
trail The Menace.
