Demand of Senator Fall
in Attack on Wilson's
Policy.
SAYS u. S. AGENT
HAS MADE $200,000
Accuses Chicago Packer of Be-
ing Villas Partner in Cattle
Stealing.
Hmm The TrihunA Rureau

Washington, Feb. 22.-In the rush Of
passing the appropriation bills the
Senate paused long enough to-day to
hear a denunciation of the administra-
tons Mexican policy and description
Of the chaotic conditions that prevail
south of the border by Senator Fall, Of
New Mexico.
He said the stricken republic was
in the grip Of brigands and robbers
and that orderly government had given
way to chaos. Every triumphant gem
eral who has succeeded in capturing
a town." he said, "has set himself up
as provisional president. There are
no more than 100000 persons actively
interested in these numerous revolu-
tions. Ten millions of innocent people,
the prey of brigands and the vic
tins of marauders, cry out TO the
United States and to the powers Of
the world to put a stop TO this condi-
ton"
The Senator from New Mexico de-
manded Intervention as the only policy
BY which order could be restored.
at behooves the United States TO do
something" he said. "The only course
that can be followed, il seems TO me,
is 10 intervene, with the cooperation
of Brazil, Chilli and Argentina, not to
acquire territory, but 10 restore order.
IL is well, therefore, that the United
States have an adequate navy and an
army sufficiently well equipped and
we'll trained to combat the best soldiers
in the world"
"The President Of the United States
has said, in an authorized interview.
that he was determined that the re-
sources Of Mexico should not be ex-
plotted by unjustifable foreign con-
cessions. The truth Of the matter Is
that there have been more unjusti-
fable concessions in the last few years
than during any other period of that
unfortunate country's history. Every
ore Of the so-called generals has
stopped at nothing 10 secure money,
end there has been crowd waiting at
the border TO take advantage OF the
opportunity offered"
Senator Fall said Villa had seized a
packing house in JuareE, to which he
sent for slaughter cattle seized in his
military operations.
And one of the prominent packers
Of Chicago is the partner OF Villa in
the notorious enterprise now being
carried on at Juarez," he added.
at is also a matter of common
rumor that one Of the representatives
Of the United States government
mean a local representative-has made
100000 since the beginning OF tho
disorders in Mexico"
Some OF the men who took part in
the Constitutionalist campaign, and
who came nearer 10 being patriots than
any other citizens of Mexico were, SEN
ator Fall said, demanding that the
United States put an end TO the an
archy and chaos which now prevailed.

Charges Suppression OF
Testimony Regarding
Bombardment of N. Y.
CALDER DECLARES
PORT TO BE SAFE
Saws Entire Defence OF Fleet,
Mines and Notifications
Would Have to Fail.
From The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Feb. 22.-After deliver
ing a set speech in the House to-day
criticising the coast defences of this
country as inadequate, Representative
A. =. Gardner, of Massachusetts, in
ferentially charged that the appropria-
tions committee had suppressed testi-
mony regarding the possibility Of a
bombardment of New York and other
seacoast cities in event Of war.
With a copy of the published hear
ings in his hand, Mr.. Gardner inter
rupted Representative Calder, of New
York, q minority member Of the COM
mittee, by asking:
Wasn't there some discussion in the
committee about bombarding New York
City from off Rockaway Beach? Isn't
it true there was a discussion in com
mittee, while army officers were testi
flying, as to the possibility of lombard
ing New York, Boston, San Francisco
and other cities, and this discussion
does not appear in the record"
Sometimes matters are discussed
informally which very properly ought
not TO be disclosed" replied Mr. Calder.
81 think that we have probably printed
things which should not go into the
public records. During my service on
the committee many things have been
discussed informally which did not ap-
pear in the reports. Without answer
ing your question directly, / will say
- IL
City in the House have not the slight
est fear of battleships being able TO
stand off Rockaway Beach and shell
New York"
Mr.. Gardner said that the hearings
showed that General Weaver had ex.
pressed the opinion that additional
armament would be needed "at some
places 20 prevent bombardment," and
he asked II New York had been specifi-
cally mentioned.
81 say that many things were talked
OF in committee informally, but we did
not feel as result Of our discussion
Of things which do not appear in the
printed record that there was any dan
ger Of the bombardment Of New York"
answered Mr.. Calder.
"Why was not the whole discussion
reported in full, If everything is as
smooth sailing as you claim :" persisted
Mr.. Gardner.
81 can only say that we frequently
discuss matters which do not 90 into
the printed record. recall last year
that we discussed the fortiications at
Hawaii al some length, but the con-
versstion was not printed"
Producing chart which showed 5t
10 5h fsthoms Of water one mile of
Roekaway Beach, Mr., Gardner asked
il General Viewers reputed state
ments about the possibility OF bonn
harding New York were not met with
the clsim that the water was too
shallow,
Il am not admitting that General
Weaver inside the statement" said Mr..
Calder. but II the water is ms deep as
you say WIS stated by him ships might
undoubtedly get near enough 20 she'll
the city ! insist, however. that there
would be no danger unless cur entire
oefenee feet, mines and tertihestions
--fsiled."

WAR AUTO FAILS
AS MOTOR BOAT
Steel Car Nearly Sinks in
Well During Test in
Long Island City.

Real war thrills were felt by men
and women in Long Island City yester-
day afternoon when they saw tryout
Of a steel motor truck on which was
mounted a small rapid fire cannon. 1t
is TO see service in the European war.
The exhibition was exciting, but test
given was too severe for even war su-
tomobile and the truck came to grief.
The machine had been unloaded from
fat cars in the Sunnyside yards Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Before being
sent to the ship an expert mechanicisn
from the company gave it a run on
land lying between Jackson Avenue.
Laurel Hill Boulevard and Madden
Street There are hills and marshes,
and in addition the land was soft from
the early thaw. The cannon was
mounted in the middle of the truck
and a driver sat at either end. The
truck could be sent forward or back

BRITISH ASK ABOUT
ENJOYS IN MEXICO
Discuss with Washington
Situation of Diplomats
in Capital.
IRy Cahls % The Tribune ]

London, Feb. 22.-The British gov
eminent Is exchanging views with
Washington regarding the ACCESSIBILITY
of the foreign diplomats leaving Mex
leo. From reports received here the
whole situation appears worse than
ever before, and it is believed that it
is virtually useless for the diplomats
70 continue in the Mexican capital,
while at any time. the situation may
become dangerous for them.
Latest news from Mexico Is that the
faction in control in Mexico City is
making levies on foreign banks. includ-
ing the Bank of Montreal, which is a
British institution. This and numer-
Gus other happenings have affected
British interests.
There has been, so far as has been
learned, no definite protest from the
government here concerning conditions,
and there is no tendency unduly TO
press the administration at Washington
toward action, but that something must
be done for the safety OF foreign lives
and property is recognized.

After Brisk Mahng-Arny Ofre
FoHow

"Of course, there are many problems
which vex a man who has been sent
into the guard from command of reg
uars. You cannot enforce a rigid dis
cipine on men who are volunteering
from patriotism to learn to defend
their country. If militiaman does not
like his officers methods, he is always
able to get out of the regiment. The
national guard officers deserve great
deal more credit than is given them,
let me tell you"
For while to-day it was hoped that
Governor Whitman would stop over at
the reservation for an hour or so on
his way to New York. He failed to ap-
pear, and Company F was robbed of its
last chance to parade under the eye of
its commander in chief
Adjutant General Louis W. Stotes-
bury and Brigadier General James w.

broiled in an argument, which was
brought to an abrupt termination when
Weiss picked up a saucepan and smote
his sergeant on the head, receiving in
return disfguring blow on the nose.
The combatants we're then separated,

on his return to the city. Meanwhile
Spearmann wears a bandage that made
him popular with the movie" men to-
day. who were gathering films Of the
European war.
Lieutenant Rich expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the work the com,
pany has done. Not only have some OF
the men improved, he said, but through
the grilling manpuvres Of the last
three days he has been able to dis
cover the weak spots in his command

and will probably transfer twenty Of
his men to other companies in the list
on his return to the city.
"A month of this work in the OPEN"
he asserted, would do national guards
men more good than a year Of drilling
in armories. II it were possible to
send them all into camp for thirty days
each year, there would be less doubt
about the morale OF the guardsmen.
Why, il is impossible to give the ma
tional guard any training in trench
digging, because the floors Of every
armory are made Of wood, so that the
men may hold dances. Soldering is
becoming far too complex a problem
now to have dancing interfere with it.

the guard should be forced to serve

ton of a wing of the party in con-
Quoting a private and public cam

The campaign centers around the

direction which they and their back
ers consider proper and justified.

MUCH INTEREST IN BRAZIL
CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON
HOLDS ATTENTION..
Official Circles Observe Expectant
Attitude-Would Not Assent to
CurtaiIment of Rights.

Rio Janeiro, Aug. THE convoca
ton of a conference respecting Mex
lean affairs has aroused much inter
est here. Official circles observe a
purely eXpectant attitude. Their COZ
viction is that the fact in itself-the
consulting of other American repub-
lics-proves that the United States is
contemplating no solution such as
would impair in the least Mexican
sovereignty.
1t is pointed out in authoritative cir
cles that public opinion in Brazil
would not approve of curtailment
of Mexican rights, nor would the Bra
lillian government become party to
it. The newspapers are following the
subject very closely. A certain op-
position is manifested by some of
them. The Journal Do Brazil, using
as a text an utterance attributed to
the Jurisconsult Saviana, says inter-
vention in Mexico would DO a crime
against it's society. 1t adds that to
accept this doctrine is to proclaim
the right to police weak nations.
deputy Maurice Ldc6rQd Writes Ill
the Imperial that Brazil should re-
fuse it's cooperation.
However, as an Offset against these
extreme views the Gazetta De Mott
cias, which is more moderate and
reflects better the opinion of compe-
tent circles, says that the motives
prompting the happy initiative of the
United States are as honorable as
could be wished. 1t adds:
1--WE can confidentially await the
solution which either will be void or
wholly in accordance with these mo-
tives. 1t is certain, however, that in
40 case will Brazil assent to any in
however slight, of the in
,egrity of any American nation"
