out" When Foster started to look for
wire, Phelps began to choke violently
The coughing changed the position OF
the false teeth SO that the plate choked
the throat, preventing Phelps from
breathing. Before the eyes of his daugh-

Foster first called DR.. Rogers who was
in his office at 400 NJ street northwest,
about three miles away. on the telephone.
He then telephOned Casually Hospital

DR.. Rogers arrived and quickly re-
moved the false teeth with forceps and
then attempted artificial respiration
though he realized Phelps was already
dead. After this had failed, the ambu-
lance arrived from Casualty Hospital,
but Phelps having succumbed, the pull
motor was not used.

ably in his struggle with the Villa-zapata
element
Gen. Pablo Gonzales reported he de-

near San Luis PotOsi, and is closely pur-

Gen. ObregOn reports form Pueblo that
he has occupied strong positions recently
held by the enemy there and expects to
announce the occupation of this city at
any moment.
The city of Vera Cruz is almost d.

there were many thousands in camp
there. They have struck their tents and
are marching westward from Apizaco on
their way to Mexico City and it is pre-

Before Sergt GIllum's order was coun-
termanded by Col. W. w. Harts, In
charge of public buildings and grounds,
and before about $50 shivering, angry
survivors of the original happy 1900 were
told they might go back on the ice, II
was SO O'CLOCK.
The carnival was started with a -four

Band, under Lieut.. w. II. Santelmann.
took place in a specially constructed
stand, and began playing music in
rhythm with the swing of the skaters.

daughter OF Senator Lippitt: William

The police took the departure of the
band at o'clock as the cue for them
to "shOo- away the skaters, and them
selves quit work. When Sergt. Gillum
was so cross-questioned by DIR. Meyer
and Representative Hobson that he could
not evade giving reasons for his strange
order, he asserted the ice was unsafe.
Gillum confided to a bystander that his
order was the result of "presentiment
that something was going to happen.
The bystander whispered this news to
Representative Hobson, and the fighting
spirit that made him the naval hero OF
the Spanaish-American war was aroused.

and went on a hunt for Col. Harts. Col.

KNOX LAUGHS
AT WAR TALK
Former Secretary of State
Approves Wilson's Note
to England.
NO CAUSE FOR OFFENSE
In Full Sympathy with Determination
to Reduce Menace to Commerce,
He Asserts.

Valley Force, Pa, Jan. 1.-"There is
not the remotest chance of war with
England: that the note of protest sent
by President Wilson implies hostility
toward that country IS the sheerest
nonsense" asserted former Secretary
of State Knox. in an interview today.
Mr.. Knox had not read the full text
OF President Wilson's note. For that
reason many of his statements were
general rather than specific.
We have had 100 differences with
England in the last century that were
far more serious than the present one"
he said. IL OF them were adjusted
by proper diplomacy.
.'Yet / am in full sympathy with
President Wilson's determination to re-
d0ce to a minimum the right of Eng
land to search our vessels. ! don't un-
derstand that he challenges that right.
He desires, 1 understand, that England
shall exercise it in way that will least
interfere with our commerce.
Subject to Search.
"As to its effect on American com
merce, in all cases of war neutral
nations. whose vessels carry contra
band of war. are subject to seizure
and the right of search. That is some
thing. however. that belligerents should
exercise with due regard for the rights
OF the neutral nations.
What do you think of President Will
sons note of protest"
Il have not seen the text. / only have
persued the general draft. I think 1t is
an extremely proper thing for him to do.
] am not much of a believer in the fad
of 'criticising government methods. 1
believe with the late John Hay in plain
truths. Sometimes the truth is harsh
bUt II is nevertheless the truth. l see
nothing to which England could take
Jffehse.
No Hostility shown.
That the note implies hostility to-
ward England is mons nse. President
Wilson merely is trying TO protect Amer
iCSn commerce II either England or
Germany is injured by his stand. that is
not his fault. That is accidental His
juty is to the American people
LAS to the outcome. ] see no reason
why there cannot be a satisfactory and
amicable adjustment OF the differences.
What can the United States dO-leav-
ing war out OF the Questfon-if England
refuses to accede to the demands of this
country he was asked.
That is Il question that will have TO
be put up to the administration. What
a government docs when il makes a pro
test is based on international law. 1t
is not international law after the pro-
test. International law is in the protest.
1t is then a matter of judgment. ! do
not believe the present situation will
reach That point

STATE RESTRAINED
FROM ENFORCING LAW

NEW ORLEANS. June 23.-An
order temporarily restraining the
state Of Louisiana from enforcing re-
Gently enacted laws regulating sugar
refiners, was obtained in federal court
here today by the American Sugar
Refining company. Judge Foster is
sued the order pending hearing Of
the bill in equity filed by the refining
company.
The law in question provides for the
sale or disposition of sugar refineries
kept idle for Illegal or monopOllstic
purposes and permits the appointment
of a receiver If certain provisions Of
the act are violated. 1t also contains
a provision which would permit the
state to force interstate corporations
to discontinue business in Louisiana if
found guilty Of violating certain Sec
tiOns of the act.
Principal among the contentious
made by the plaintiff in seeking the
restraining order were the allegations
that the act is unconstitutional, that
ii interfered with interstate commerce
and that It deprives the plaintiff of
property without due process Of law.
