Object of Falsehoods.

1T is my duty 10 warn the people
Of the United States that there are per
sons all along the border who are
actively engaged in originating and
giving as wide currency as they can 70
rumors of the most sensational and
disturbing sort, which are wholly un-
justified b. the facts. The object OF
this traffic in falsehood is obvious. II
is 20 create intolerable friction be
tween the government OF the United
States and the de facto government Of
Mexico. for the purpose OF bringing
about Intervention IN the interest Of
certain American owners of Mexican
properties This object cannot be at
taned so long as sane and honorable
men are in control Of this government,
but very serious conditions may be
created. unnecessary bloodshed may re
suit and the relations between the two
republics may be very much embar-
rassed. The people Of the United States
should know the sinister and unscru-
pulous influences that are afoOt and
should be on their guard against cred
iting any story coming from the bor-
der, and those who disseminate the
news should make IL matter of pa
triotism and Of conscience 20 test the
source and authenticity Of every report
tney receive from that quarter.

cavalry negroes, undaunted, clustered
in close circles to their crap games, OF

MRS. HORTON

Adds to Murder Evidence;
Brother Won't Call

-Four other persons were marked for
death by DR.. Arthur Warren Waite
now lying in Bellevue Hospital under
the charge Of having poisoned his
father-in-lsw, John f. Peck, Of Grand
Rapids, Mich. Who these were the
District Attorneys Office. which is the
authority for the above statement,
alone knows.

other contemplated victims" Assistant
District Attorney Dooling, in charge Of
the case in the absence OF his chief.
said yesterday. "But there is no limit
to the number. There might have been
many more"
While the man accused of this whole
sale plotting lay in the prison ward Of
Bellevue, too weak 20 care about the
terrible situation into which he has
been plunged, too Indifferent toward
wha, might befall him even to care TO
see his father or mother, the state CON
fined it's activity yesterday to another
phase OF the case.
Mrs. Horton Grilled.
Mrs. Margaret Horton, , singer. the
woman who has confessed that she was
the "Mrs. Warren Walters" with whom
Waite shared an apartment at the
Plaza Hotel, was examined all after
lo.a os frh b.
Dooling Her husband. Harry, AT in
ventor. was present during the lengthy
conference.
Mrs. Horton told Mr. Dooling yester-
day that she had reason to believe that
Waite had been planning 20 poison her.
This statement she based, as far as IS
known, on the fact that the man had
inquired closely into the question OF
her and her husbands wealth. He
never told her that he was married, but
gave her to understand that he himself
would shortly inherit large fortune.
Evidence tending TO corroborate the
woman's suspicion is in the hands of
the District Attorney.
Discoveries brought 10 light ycster-
day added weight TO the theory that
Waite had launched himself on a career
Of Wholesale poisoning. The District
Attorney knows that between Deem
Der 2l and March 7, when Mr.. Peck
died, the young man had bought more
than one large amount of poison. A
safe deposit box, rented by the sur
geon- dentist Waite's profession, which
he never followed-in the Fifth Avenue

tents were turned over to the state.
1t was rumored that in this receptacle
were found various formula for the
manufacture OF poisons. Mr.. Dooling
became irritsted yesterday when ques-
toned about this and refused 10 con-
firm or deny the report. you can't
expect me TO tell you all that the state
has discovered" he remarked.
Weekend Trip Spoiled.
Mrs. Horton and her husband came
70 the District Attorneys Office shortly
before noon yesterday. They carried
with them suitcases and a case of golf
clubs. Apparently they were about to
leave the city for a weekend trip. They

CALLS
ALARMS FALSE
Says Sinister Influences"
Seek to Force II. s.
Intervention.

Washington. March 25. President
Wilson tonight issued 2 warning that
sinister and inscriptions influences"
we're spreading alarmist reports about
the Mexican situation with the object
Of forcing Intervention by the United
States. "in the interest OF certain
American owners Of Meyicaa proper
ties
In a formal statement the President
told the people Of the United States TO
be on their guard and not TO credit
such stories. His statement follows:
"As has already been announced, the
expedition into Mexico was ordered
under an agreement with the de facto
government Of Mexico for the single
purpose Of taking the bandit Villa,
whose forces had actually invaded the
territory of the United States, and Is
in no sense intended a. an invasion Of
that republic or as an infringement OF
its sovereignty. have, therefore, asked
the several news services 20 be good
enough 20 assist the Administration in
keeping this view of the expedition
constantly before both the people Of
this country and the distressed and
sensitive people Of Mexico, who are
very susceptible indeed to impressions
received from the American press. not
only but also very ready to believe that
those impressions proceed from the
views and objects Of our government
itself. Such conclusions, il must be
said, are not unnatural. because the
main, II not the only, source of infor.
nation for the people on both sides
OF the border is the public press OF the
United States.

NOT FOR DRILL
But to Protect the Country, Is
Why the National Guard
is Kept ON Border.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-In reply
to q complain from Mrs. Henry Smith,
Of Winamac, Ind, who has son in
the national guard, President Wilson
wrote Wednesday that the guard was
kept on the Mexican border to protect
the country, not for drill, and that the
service the men were performing was
an honor to them and a necessity to
the United States.
The president referred to the pre-
caution of the war department to make
the border camps safe against the dis
ease and said the health record Of both
regulars and guardsmen was except
ionally good. His letter was made
public because many communications
similar to that of Mrs. Smith are be-
ing received and to answer criticism
that the men of the national guard are
not being properly cared for.

The woman in the case, whose
name is withheld at the request OF
the police, made an engagement with
Fittro to meet her at the corner OF
Third and West Pike streets at 2
o'clock. This she did at the direction
of the police. A few minutes before
the appointed hour, the woman,
closely followed by Chief Brooks and
Special officer H. Grant Slope, went
IN the corner. The young man met
the woman, and was Immediately
nlaced under arrest by the two ottic-
ers. ALL.
In his cell ia headquarters, Fittro
told Telegram reporter that he was
innocent of taking any part in the
robbery, but admitted that for 81 he
had directed the foreigner to an al
legged house of III fame on Water
street. The most damaging evidence
against young Fittro is some teeth
marks on his forearm. When the
foreigner first reported the robbery
to the police Tuesday night he said
that he had bitten one of his assail-
ants, of whom there we're three, on
the arm. Explaining the presence OF
the marks, Fittro said that later In
the night he met the foreigner and
that the latter demanded the return
of the 81. When he refused the for

A warrant against Fittro will prob
