 THE AMERICANS IN MEXICO.

The Herald has no apology to make to anybody for it's action in publishing today the text of the sup pressed cablegrams that have passed between the American colony in Mex ico and the secretary of state. These cablegrams are published because the American people have right to know, and should know, the reasons that make it impossible for their fellow countrymen now in Mexico to leave that country in response to the re- peated suggestions of the government at Washington.
 While the conditions revealed in the communications sent by the American colony at Mexico City through the minister for Brazil has heen vaguely understood, the censor ship at the Mexican capital and at Vera Cruz has been so rigid that the facts have come out only in piece meal In this correspondence the high points are so clearly set forth that there should he no further doubt concerning the truth of the situation.
 Mexico is drifting toward total de- struction from which a mistaken al truism is powerless to save il" these American citizens assert. "The pres ent struggle does not represent the efforts of people to secure liberty and civil rights so much as a clash of personal ambition and revenge
 This, in 8 nutshell, is Mexico to- day. Nothing can be gained by ar endeavor to misrepresent the facts These Americans in Mexico believe they have a right to expect of theil government protection of their lives and their property. They explain why they cannot leave. They ask tha the Mexican situation be accepted fol what it is and mot for what it migh be hoped that it might become" Ant by way of reminder they recall z plank of the Baltimore platform up on which, this administration came into power, which reads:
 Every American citizen residing ol having property in any foreign coun try is entitled to, and must be given the full protection of the United

TIEUP In SUBWAY
Short Circuit at Same Spot

Almost the entire subway system was
tied UP for forty-six minutes yesterday

at the time had to walt until the break
was repaired or leave their trains. Most
OF them left. About ten trains were in
the affected section. few Of them at
stations. The passengers were con-
Quoted through the trains and along the
tracks to the nearest station. Police
men summoned from nearby police sta
lions helped guide the people to safety.
There was little smoke from the splicing
box after the short circuit, and no panic
was reported.

system was shut of from the power
house at Ninety-sixth street. Trains
were then operated only from the Brook
lyn Bridge to Atlantic avenue. Brooklyn,
and from iS0th street to 149th street on
the West Farms division. The tieup of
the Broadway division was complete. a

OF two weeks the Camden and Phila-

OF Samuel s. Cord of Laurel Springs.
y. j., than when his BODY was found.
At every point the authorities met a
blank wall, Though they say they have
caught Olaf Petersen. the murdered
mans business partner, in several con-
tradictions, they W. found nothing on
which to base "A charge of any sort
against the man who, for two weeks. has
been kept under arrest as "a material
witness.
That Cord vas killed as the result Of
q bitter business quarrel. that there was
a woman In the case and TINT he was
shot in the heat Of rag by n man who
had no intention OF committing murder
are some OF the detectives theories, but
they have found no evidence in support
of these theories.
All OF the papers and business records
Of the murdered man have been searched
and studied In nope OF finding something
that wOuld point to the murderer, hut
without success.
Early In the Investigation the dctcc-
tives received a report from Traffic po-
liceman Howard Smith that on the night
OF the Cord murder he saw n big blue
touring car speeding through Camden at
midnight with lights out. The car came
from the Pennsylvania Railroad ferry.
Two men sat in the real seat of the car
holding an unconscious form between
them and driving toward the River road
where Cords body was found next morn
ing.
This evidence from the policeman was
strongly supported by new evidence to-
day. Frank Post. who collects the auto

power. These qualities were shown
when she came to write her fathers
biography.
Where does genius keep itself: 10 II
or does II abide aioft in some
celestial reservoir that consents TO be
tapped occasionally? Patricia sat
down at her writing table one day "in
the quiet hush OF late afternoon" and
engaged upon the biography, Her
thoughts burned hot and fiaring with
n OF those unaccountable firings
which consume creative minds. Her
pen flew faster than legibility," and we
are sorry to say that she had come to
the part where the Well!ngborough
letters were 10 be included. These
were letters written by an eminent
diplomatist to Patr!cia's father. They
were confidential and very scandalous,
and to publish them was a shocking
piece Of business; nevertheless, being
seized with the sacred FIRE. Patricia
went straight ahead, For several
hours she wrote without pause. and
then with the detachment of all artists
she read her manuscript and knew
that It was good"
But whence came that power
which men call genius" and to which
"she bowed in delighted aver The
story does not leave us in doubt upon
the point. II tells us Of a conductor
Of a copper wire. "Only a copper
wire, but by It heavenly fire came
down unto the earth. Patricia had
always known that she was clever
she knew that she had a place In the
upper school OF intellectual life-but
II was not TIL that memorable after

struck her, and then left her when
the storm was over, as II always does,
a copper wire still. She folded up her
papers with n reverent touch" She
said to herself. 1T Is just impossible
that / could have written It," She
said this with a radiant smile,
But Patricia had to pay for this
work of genius. The clergyman with
! whom she fell in love was the son OF
the diplomatist whose scandalous let
tiers she had given to the world. Once
in the early part OF their acquaintance
he had told her that he wouldn't

full feeling like cold water and no,
sunshine trickling down ner spine

delicious. She locked at his long. lean
strong hand and thought how 1t NIGH

give Patricia after a good deal Of hurt
The story IL very readable.
