PRESIDENT FORMULATING
NEXT STEP IN MEXICO

CORNISH. N. H. July 2S.-President
Wilson was out on the golf links early
today for a game with DR.. Cary Gray
son, his naval aid and physician. He
planned to work later. until time for
the informal tea arranged for this
afternoon by Miss Margaret Wilson in
honor of members of the artist and au-
thor colony Of Cornish.
Reports of increasing chaotic condi-
tions in Mexico have been studied by
President Wilson and he has given
earnest consideration to formulating z
the next step in the new Mexican policy
inaugurated when he announced that
there must be an improvement in af-
President is not ready to make any
statement indicating what he plans to
do next in Mexico. He has already re-
ceived the ideas of his closest advisers
on the question.
Various Washington officials are known
to favor encouraging Gen. Villa and the
other northern leaders to select pro-
visional president who can be supported
by the United States Others believe that
the President should place an embargo
on the expectation of arms into Mexico,
and still others are advocating the ex
treme step of armed Intervention by the
United States.
The President has been reading reports
regarding Mexico carefully, with the re-
suit that he has become convinced that
the United States can wait little longer
to see whether the different factions can
compose their own differences. One of the
reasons for his trip to Cornish at this
time was that he wanted to study the
Mexican situation carefully.
The President informed newspaper
men today that since his arrival at the
summer White House he had not re-
ceived any new data on the Mexican
situation from Secretary Lansing and
that the Secretary had not forwarded
any recommendations as to what should
be done. The President did not deny
that some step would be taken in the
near future as announced at the State
Department at Washington.
There have been many indications re-
Gently that further action was to be
taken soon. Nothing could be learned
here today, however. as to just how
soon action would be taken or what
course it would take.
The President has made no arrange
ments for returning to Washington.

Deplores War.

BERLIN, July 2S, by wireless to Say
vile, n. Y.-The Protestant Church
board in Germany has decided that
Sunday shall be observed by divine
services invoking aid for the national
cause The funds to be collected on
this day are to be devoted to the sue
cor of widows and orphans. This an
nouncement was made today by the
Overseas News Agency.
At the same time this agency de-
clared that Bishop korum of Treves
has received an autograph letter from
Pope Benedict thanking him for the
Peters pence contribution. The pontiff
says he deeply regrets this bitter and
prolonged war. which has robbed the
holy father of the possibility of main
tanning personal relations with his best
friends The Pope closes his communi-
cation by sending the apostolic blessing
to the bishop and the clergy and their
nation. which, like all others in these
hard times, is depressed by the pro-
longed and deep-rooted sorrow of the
war.

Admiral Benson said that Admiral
Caperton was directed to use his dis
cretion about landing marines in Haiti
and that he would send an expedition
airy forces ashore at Port au Prince
should he deem it to be necessary. Ma
rines were landed at Cape Haitien sew
eral weeks ago, and belligerents were
notified by Admiral Caperton that fight

Advices to the State Department from
Charge dAffaires Davis at Port au

garding the uprising and stated that
the number of political prisoners exc
cuted early in the day by order of Gen.
Oscar was seventy. The message said
that Rear Admiral Caperton had pro-
ceeded to Port au Prince.
What action might be taken by this
government is undetermined by the
State Department for the reason that
1t is unknown who heads the revolution
or what have been it's practical results.
Whether the outbreak was revolution
in form or merely a general uprising,
officials stated, remains to be seen.

Decision by Justice Ford Ex-
pected to Be Handed
Down Today.
CONDEMNED MAN MAY GO
ON STAND WITH STORY
Gov. Whitman Reported Willing to
Grant a Further Stay at
Courts Request.

| NEW YORK, July 2S.-Decision was
expected to be announced by Justice
Ford today whether to grant third
trial to Charles Becker. or whether tc
call before him the condemned man
and new witnesses to give evidence in
support of Becker's applica ton for a
new trial.
| Justice Ford went thoroughly over
the legal points raised by Becker's at
torneys and the states representatives
bearing on those questions. One OF
the main points that he had to consider
was whether he had authority to grant
new trial for any other reason than
those set forth in the statutes. He had
to decide whether he possessed the in
herent right to reopen any case de-
cided in the supreme court.
Up to a late hour Justice Ford said
he was still studying the law, and that
he had reached no decision.
Appeals Made for Becker.
Justice Ford received a number of
letters today regarding the Becker
case. All but one urged that the for
mer police lieutenant be granted a
third trial. The justice also received
a number of kilograms urging mercy
for Becker from persons in various
parts of the country.
A prominent Brooklyn clergyman.
whose name was withheld, wrote that
he knew Becker and his family well.
and that while he had no doubt Becker
was guilty of grating and may have
been implicated in plot to kidnap
Herman Rosenthal, the murdered gam
bier. the minister said he had certain
information which gave him every rea-
son to believe Becker had no part in
the actual murder.
Reports Not Confirmed.
Reports were received here from AL
bany that Gov. Whitman had been pri-
, vately informed that Justice Ford
would hear witnesses in behalf OF
Becker but that the governor declined
to confirm them. No confirmation could
be obtained from Justice Ford, and
District Attorney Perkins was quoted
as saying that he knew nothing at all
about it.
Beckers execution has now been set
for Friday morning, but it was under
stood today that if Justice Ford de-
cided to allow Becker to testify in sup
port of his application for d new trial
1t would be necessary to obtain another
reprieve for the condemned man.
Sing while awaiting anxiously Justice
Ford's decision was said to be prepar-
ing new statement to be made public
| only after his death. 1t was said that
this was not confession of guilt or
graft. but reassertion of his inno-
cence
Becker Preparing Statement.
ALBANY, n. Y, July 2S.-Gov. Whit
| man was not at the capitol today and
it was explained by Secretary Orr that
he was resting at the executive man
sion"
The current belief is, however, that
he has retired to the executive mansion
largely to consider the Becker case and
to receive communicate tions regarding it,
1t is not improbable that Justice Ford
will ask for a further reprieve for
Becker in order to give the court more
| time to consider arguments for new
| trial. Such request, it Is generally
| believed. would be readily granted by
! the governor.

PRESIDENT WELL INFORMED
ON SUPPLIES OUTLOOK
International Affairs Not Being
Conducted Blirdfolded or Re-
gardless of Eventualities.
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Here is a story
which I got from an official Of the
American Manufacturers. Association
W ho is on the committee to distribute
among manufacturers in this country
the orders for war materials received
from abroad.
The financing of these orders is ac-
complished by ]. p Morgan & Co., and
their effectuation is through ar
rangement with this committee of the
manufacturers association. The com
mittee knows the capacity and efficiency
of the various plants of it's members
knows which plant can best turn out
shrapnel, saddles time fuses, peroxide,
condensed milk or whatever is wanted.
There are about $4,000, 900 Of contracts
now in hand.
Well, it falls out that the government
of the United States is taking an in
terest in the working of the manufac-
turers and in their ability to deliver
the goods.
United States Has Information.
The government, through inquiries
recently made Of the manufacturers
association, now has in card index
form. information of the available war
materials in stock or in process and
power Of making, which could instantly
be Communicated.
1t Is said that the information thus
collaborated shows that the United
States is not so unprepared as has been
charged. The stimulation given to
manufacturing of war materials prac-
tically has put the whole manufacture
ing industry Of the United States upon
war basis.
The important part of this whole
story is the fact that the government
has instituted the inquiry and tabu-
lated the information. Taken In con-
nection with President Wilson's solemn
warning to Germany Of what in future
will be deemed an 'unfriendly" act,
the inference is natural that the ad-
ministrat tion is not conducting lnterna-
tional affairs blindfolded or without
reasonable regard to eventualities.

INTENTION OF u. S. TO ACT

Consul General Shanklin Is Expected
to Reach Washington This Week
With First Hand Information.

In view Of the announced intention OF
the Wilson administration to act at an
early date in the Mexican situation, ef-
forts are being made to bring about a
conference of the military leaders in
Mexico. with a view to establishing peace.
it has been learned here from various
sources Comparatively little news has
been received here the last few days re-
garding the military operations now going
On in Mexico, however, and until more
definite information is at hand 1t will be
difficult to make any predictions az to a
peace conference.
Although no decisive military action
has been reported. dispatches received
here indicate that the Villa flying
squadron" which was hurrying toward
Mexico City, is now hurrying in the
opposite direction, without having CIV
en- battle to the Carranza forces under
Gen. Gonzales. which marched out of
Mexico City to meet the squadron.
AT the Carranza agency here today
it was said that the first chief is not
opposed to the formation of peace in
Mexico and that he is not standing out
against peace, as has been intimated
in some quarters. 1t was pointed out
that when he broke off negotiations
some time ago with the Villa and
Zapata factions it was because the
proposal was to form abinet COM
posed of three Villa men, three Zapata
men and three CarranZa men. In view
of the fact that the CarranZa faction
holds the greater part of the territory
of the country. has a very much larger
military organization and larger fol-
lowing. representatives of Carranza
here insist that the first chief could
not consent to such an arrangement
They believe, however, that Carranza

May Place Embargo on Arms.

If the United States finds it necessary
to take steps looking toward ultimate
Intervention in Mexico it is predicted
here that one of the first moves will be
to place an embargo on the shipment of
arms into Mexico from this country. As

would practically mean cutting off the
Mexican supply of arms and ammuni-
ton for the reason that they would find
