American Army of Invasion of Mexico, Having Trou- bles in Pursuit of Chief of Mexican Bandits.
PRESIDENT WILSON
 ISSUES A WARNING
In Statement Issued Today Says He Believes Sinister Influences are Working Toward Intervention.

COLUMBUS. x NJ. Mar. 26.- Advices received here from the Am erican army which is pursuing the fierce of Villa bandits in Mexico are to the effect that there are no new developments in the chase, which leads to the general belief here that Villa has entirely out general both the Carranza and American commanders and has made lis escape At any rate, the chase, so far, is entirely barren of results It is still hoped, however, that the bandit and his followers may event aaly be captured, and to that end the Americans are pushing the search.

refused to divulge it, stating last night that his report will be made to his superior officer at Valdez Dr. Cassels says that he learned that the shooting was done through a door and that immediately after the affair, Mrs. Field went to the roadh"use and remained thera. dc, ing nothing beyond notifying the men around the place of what she had done anu sending the messages 10 Fairbanks. Owing to the fact that Field was the only operator at Salcha. it was necessary to tele- phone the messages to Richardson before they could be sent in.
 Married Lately.
 MT. and Mrs Field were married only about a month ago here While residing at Salcha, both before and since her marriage. Mrs. Field has been in charge of the Episcopal mission. And as MT. Field in his capacity of telegraph operator, had spent considerable of his time at the Salcha telegraph station, about five miles below Munson's, or the place where the mission is located, the couple were necessarily separat- ed a great deal of the time
 No Arrest Made.
 It was stated last night at the marshal's office that deputy had not been sent to the scene of the shooting for tho reason that no war rant of arrest had been sworn out. Questioned last night as to the probability of an arrest, District At torney R. F, Roth stated that he had not yet obtained a report of the shooting in detail and that he could not decide the question con- corning the warrant until he had done so.
 It was reported that the shooting was the result of a quarrel, although no statement to that effect has been made by anyone who is familiar with the affair One report about town last night was that Field was dying and that he had made a statement completely eXonerating his wife, but such was not the case. The statement of Field to the eff feet that the shooting was accidental was apparently made with the in tention of protecting his wife.

All of his statement waS apparently made with the view of keeping secret the real reason for the shooting.
 Field was shot twice in the right leg, between the thigh and the knee. The bullet which penetrated just above the knee shattered the leg badly

 Around Murderer

NEW YORK Mar 2G Mrs. Ma garet Horton, the alleged affinity ot pr. Waite, the man who is charged with murdering J. r Pack, hi father-m-law, who died recent, from the effects of A d"se of poison admits that Waite tried to poiso. her. The circumstantial evidence that is lmulating against the defendant is growing 70 mountain ouS proportions, so that the p''tce believe there is no do"bt as to his guilt.
 When arrested several days ago Waite admitted having purchased poison of the kind which caused the death, but he insists that it was purchased for other purposes and that the fatherin-law committed suicide.
 According to statements given out by the police and information ferreted out by the police, the prosecution will be able to prove conclusively that Waite bought the poison with the intention of com hitting the murder and that he actually carried out his purpose.
 Case Sensational. NEW YORK, Mar. 26.-The Dr. Waite trial for the murder of his father-inlaw promises to be the most sensational in New York since that of Lieut. Becker. and it is be, lieved that it will be somewhat similar to that of Lawyer Albert | T. Patrick, who was convicted of the murder of Millionaire Rise. Many of the papers of New York are com pairing the case to that of Patrick and to that of Roland B. Moli l neaux

action. It merely charges the Presi- dent with tin1idity. vacillation, lack of courage and as being unpatrtotic and un-American. After hurling this blue flame of wrath around the Presi- dents head and seeking to make of him 8 vfcarious sacrifice, the distin- gutsh gentlemen who framed this wonderful document stu1tify them selves by practically indorsing all the things accomplished and to be accom- plished under the Wilson Administra- tion; and in so far they venture to declare any afnrma ative program of theiF own that program is practically along the line of that hitherto fol- lowed and now being followed by the President and the Dem ocratic Con gress This platform is indeed the most wonderful production of it's kind known to our history.
 Discussed Justice Hughes.
 As to the candidates, I have only to say that Judge Hughes is a gentle man of good ability and good char acter. He is so reserved and exclus- i've as to leave the impression that he emanated from the North Pole and came to the temperate zone with frost in his whiskers which is not yet by any means dissolved. His only public service prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court is confined, first, 
 of New York, which brought him into such prominence as to make him the Republican candidate for governor.
 ''The politicians and the RepubH- can organization of that state were not for him, but being then, as at Chicago. hard-pressed for a candidate, they reluctantly nominated MT. Hughes as a. bright light in the world of reform and heralded him forth in that character. He served two terms as governor and became the cham pion of various radical so-cal1ed re- form measures, a number of which he succeeded in forcing through a reluctant legislature. Subsequently, President Taft appointed him to the Supreme Bench.
 ''It was a matter of general com ment at the time that this appoint ment was made by the President to get Hughes out of the way as 3, Presi- dentia1 candidate in 1912. As Justice of the Supreme Court he has deported himself with dignity and ability, a1- though some of his decisions have been the subject of more or less pop u1ar criticism.
 My objection to the nomination of MT. Hughes lies in the fact that re- gard it as bad in every way, even vii cious, for great political party, hard pressed and on it's uppers, invading the Supreme Court of the United States and taking down from that bench of its Justices to make of him a party candidate for political off, fee to meet and serve party ex- igency. The experiment is full of menace and danger. Hereafter it is more than probable that men appoint ed to the Supreme Court will begin to regard it. got as the honorable and final goal of their ambitions, but as stepping stone to what they will, as MT. Hughes does, regard as a political advancement beyond the Judicial posi- ton they hold.
 'In that view of things it will fol- low that the decisions of Judges of that great tribunal will become more or less the subject of suspicion. People will begin to surmise whether decsions on questions of wide or general inter-

AMERICAN TEACHER, DETAINED AS A SPY,
 SAFE IN NEW YORK

New York, June 13--Miss Mary Sillinan, a teacher in the American School for Girls at Chicago, and who was arrested in April on suspicion of espionage, returned here on the steamship Ryndam from Rotterdam.
 Miss StIliman said that her. arrest, which occurred in April. amounted to nothing more than ordinary detention on a nominal charge which the Ger mans in many cases prefer against foreigners entering the country until their status can be investigated.
 She was on her way home from Turkey, she said, where she had been doing Red Cross work under Mrs Henry Morgenehau. wife of the Amer fcan ambassador, and was soon able to clear herself of the charge. She was soon after taken i'll, however, and remained several weeks in German hospitals wehere, she said, she re- cefved the best of attention Miss ssilliman declined to discuss condi- tions either in Germany or Turkey.
