German Ambassador Makes Informal Call At White House To Confer With President Wilson About Demands in American Note That Will Be Insist ed Upon Here.
President Says That "strict Accountability For Loss of American Lives Will Be Placed on Germany Conference Allows Fix change of Ideas on Both Messages.

Washington, June 2-Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, had an audience with President Wilson today at noon, in the blue room of the White House.
 It was understood that the object of the ambassadors visit was to gain from the President an idea of the points in the. last American note which the United States is de- termined to insist upon and to give the President an idea of the German viewpoint.
 The President, it was said, showed willingness to explain the position of the United States and to make it clear that it had been decided on only after careful consideration by the cabinet yesterday when it was decided to send a note of inquiry asking whether the Imperial Government would abide by the principle of inter- national law. The President, it also was understood, gave his views, expecting the ambassa- dor to enlighten the Berlin government on the earnest in tentions of the United States to obtain a strict accountability for the loss of Americans on the Lusitania. The visit was friendly and cordial. Italian Envoy Calls
 While Count Ven Bernstorff was with the President, the Italian ambas- sa,dor, Count Macchi Di Cellere ar rived, but the two dip1omatists whose nations are on opposite sides in the war, did not meet
 | White House officials declined tc make any statement regarding Count | Won Bernstorff's visit, saying the en- | gagement was made at the ambassa- dor's request and that 1t would be inn proper for the President to say any thing concerning it.
 Reports that the ambassador had made any definite proposals were gen. orally discounted. The President has already begun the preparation of the next note to Germany and it was not expected the call of the anbassado1 would have any effect on it's wording
 Immediately after his visit to the l White House Count Won Bernstorm re- turned to the embassy and went into conference with the head of the chan 1 cel1ory. It appeared that he was about to commun1cate with Berlin. The meeting between the President | of the United States and the personal representative of the Emperor o1 l Germany, the ambassador of the i'm peria1 German government was the | first sought by Count Won Bernstorf1 since last September. when he returned from Germany after a summers visit The call then was to pay respects | The German ambassador has tol6 l friends that he realizes the seriousness of the situation and is anxious to dc | all he can personally to prevent g rupture in friendly relations.

Goes to Leaders.

President Wilson's warning went forward by telegraph to American agents who will deliver it to the fac tional leaders and was at the same time made public at the White House.
 The statEment goes to Carranza. Villa, zapata>and Garza, the principal leaders, not as a. diplomatic note from the United States but as a declara- ton of President wilson's attitude, expressed in 8 statement to the American people.
 The statement, prepared after yes terday's cabinet meeting, was intend ed for issuance early today but was delayed by some minor changes made in conference between the President and Secretary Bryan. It was to have been made public at 10 a.. m. but was delayed until shortly after noon.
 While it was being given out at the White House it was being flashed on it's way to Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz, the Brazilian minister at Mexi- co City and Consular Agent Carothers, who will deliver it to the leaders of factions with which they deal
 Although the communication does not set forth the specific course the United States will adopt in case of failure of the various factions to agree, it Is the administration pres ent plan to extend moral support 10 the formation of a coalition govern ment, made up of the elements in Mexico and to accord it formal recog- milton. An embargo on arms would then be issued. giving the constituted government the exclusive opportunity to obtain war munitions
 White House officials refused to am pIify the Presidents statement, saying that any further steps in his new pol icy would be announced as they were decided upon.

This Country To Act So. That Mexico May Save
 Herself and Serve Her
 People, if Revolution Con-
 tinues, Says President Tone of Warning De4i mands Instant Response

Washington, June 2-Tn a7 statement to the American people today President Wilson . served notice on the factionaI leaders of Mexico that unless within "a very short time" they unite to set up a government which the world can recognize the United States Twill be con- strained to decide what means should be employed by the United States in order to help Mexico save herself and serve her people,"
 Signalizing a change from the watchful waiting" policy, which has guided relations with Mexico for more than two years, the Presidents state ment was regarded iT1 official and diplomatic quarters as no tice of a new and vigorous pol icy to restore peace below the Rio Grande.
 Everywhere it was inter preted as & warning that the patience of the United States is exhausted. What steps the President is prepared to take if his warning goes unheeded is not disclosed in the state ment. In high official quar- ters, nevertheless, no doubt exists that he is prepared to proceed.

LEGISLATORS HAVE
A LITTLE SPORT

In the assembly a few days ago q
resolution was introduced in which 1t
was stated that the assembly attaches
were better looking than the attaches
Of the senate. Now a wag in the sen
ate has introduced the following reso-
luton in that body. all of which in
dicates that neither body is overburd-
ened with work:
Whereas a certain body terming It.
self honorable and claiming the ap-
pellation of Assembly of the State
OF Nevada" has by resolutions duly
adopted sought to cast reflections up
on the attaches of this branch of the
legislature, by insinuating that SEN
'ators have seen fit to seek the CON-
partnership Of Assembly attaches in
preference to that of the fair men,
bers of the senate clerical force; and
Whereas the attaches Of the senate
ar held in the highest esteem by the
senator's. regardless of party or alial
associations or connections; and
Whereas it Is the sence of the SEN
ate that such aspersions should not
go unheeded or enchallenged;
Now, therefore, BE 1T RESOLVED
by the senate that we hereby extend
to our fair attaches a vote of implicit
confidence in their good looks, trim
appearance, amiable and af-
f~ectionate dispositions; that we
strongly resent the injustice Of the
aforementioned action of the assem
bly,; that the minority of the senate
congratulate the republican majority
upon the excellent judgment displayed
In their selections of attaches at this
session, and hereby testify that the
charming models of femininity by
which they have been surrounded
since the opening of the present ses-
sion have fully recompensed them for
their failure to organize the senate;
and that republicans, democrats, indie
pendents, and socialist members Of the
senate join in denouncing any insinua-
ton to the effect that they or any of
them would under any circumstances
SSSn ~ >OiiPohS VI SohipailiohSHip VI
an assembly attache so long as there
remained an available senate clerk:
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED, That
We congratulate the senate attaches
most heartily upon the fact that so
far there has been no intimation that
any of them has been guilty of asso-
ciating with a member of the assem-
bly,, for which the good taste of the
said ladies is to be praised;
AND BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That we are not ashamed of the senti,
ments above expressed; that we do
not care who knows of them and
we do not care what the assembly
thinks about It.

RABIES PREVALENT
NEAR M'DERM|TT
Disease Spreads Among Coyotes
sheepherder Bitten BY
Mad Wildcat

Reliable reports have been received
that rabies, or hydrophobia, is prev
alent among coyotes in the vicinity
Of McDermitt in Humboldt county and
has occasioned much alarm among
people in that section.
Mad coyotes have for some time
caused a reign of terror in central and
eastern Oregon. according to reports
made to Governor Withycombe.
Death to man and beast has fol-
lowed in the wake Of the attacks
made by the mad coyotes, which are
so numerous in the Oregon sections
mentioned that travel on foot and
even on horseback is declared to be
perilous.
1t is declared that at Dry Lake, a
small village in south central Oregon,
that a dog which had been bitten by
a mad coyote, had in turn bitten his
owner, a boy, and twelve other per-
sons. The boy died and it was fear
ed that other deaths would follow.
Considerable losses are reported
among stockmen and state aid in ex-
terminating the coyotes has been
asked.
The existence of rabies among coy
otes in the vicinity of McDermitt is
a serious matter and steps should be
taken by the state and county author
tiles to stamp out that disease.
1t is reported hat a mad wildcat
got into a band of sheep near McDer-
mitt about a week & and bit about
thirty of the animals. The herder
tried to drive the cat away and was
attacked and bitten.
The herder was taken to McDermitt
and is now under treatment of DR..
CLANCY, who is administering the
Pasteur serum, which it is hoped will
prevent the development of rabies,
which would mean the mans almost
certain death.

VACCINE WON'T CURE
CHAMBERS IN HORSES

After months of careful ~investiga-
tion the bureau Of animal industry
has com to the conclusion that vac
cine is not effective In rendering
horses immune from CHAMBERS. The
bureau recommends a discontinuance
of the serum and advises that all at
tentlon be concentrated on the detec.
ton and destruction of the diseased
horses. A thorough d%isinfection of
water troughs, buildings, managers,
etc, which the diseased animals have
come in contact with, should be made
in order to successfully check the
spread of the malady.
