Huey in her usual charming manner. The music club then rendered America" after which the boys of Mrs. Sherman's kindergarten presented a drill, Peace vs. War" The song, School Is Over" was rendered by the Children's Choral society.

OF BATTLE IS

 Out of the Interior

Washington, June 22.-Specia1 Agent Rodgers at Mexico City reported late today that posters announcing the death of General Gomez at the hands of American troops and the capture of IT American soldiers had been put up throughout the Mexican capital. He made no mention of popular demonstra- tions.
 A late report from Vera Cruz said the 200 American refugees from Mexico City who reached there last night were being taken aboard the battleship Me- braska, which is overcrowded. Ameri- cans are leaving Tampico and Tuxpam on tank steamers and by every other means of conveyance.
 A review of reports from the border show that approximately 1000 Ameri- cans are leaving west coast ports on every available craft. Within few days an American warship will be stationed at every Mexican port of any size, ready to take aboard refugees The vessels now are on the way.

and Andrew c. Meloy, also of New York, are mentioned in connection with that of Won Rintelen. Stallforth, who was said to have been associated with Won Rin. telen in Mexico, was called before the federal grand jury in New York to tes- tify as to his activities. Von Rintelen while in this country maintained head quarters in Stalforth's offices. He is understood here to have denied any con. nection with Mexican ntrigues, but was remanded to jail over night for contempt for refusing to answer certain questions before the jury
 Meloy also was associated with Von Rintelen in Mexico. He was indicted in New York on the charge of having ob- tained false passport for Won Rintelen
 Another name mentioned with Von Rim telen's was that of David Lamar. some times called "The Wolf of Wall Street. and indicted with him. Lamar is said here to have obtained a large sum of money from Won Rinrelen to be used in promoting certain plans regarding Mex ico, and dock strikes in New York. So far as is known in Washington, Lamar performed no services comnnensurats with the sum of money he is said to have received

affairs. Oscar s. Strauss candidate for governor of New York in 1912 on the progressive ticket, paid a second visit to the Hughes headquarters, but declined to discuss the situation.
 MT. Hughes expects to continue confer ences with political leaders tomorrow and will leave Saturday afternoon for his tenn porary summer home at Bridgehampton, N. Y. The nominees will confer with Chairman Harding of the republican na- tional convention Saturday as to the time and place of the formal notffica- ton ceremony.
 New York, June 22.-Theodore Roose- welt motored to New York today from Oyser Bay and conferred with many progressive and republican leaders, in- cluding Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, James R. Garfield of Ohio, Matthew Hale of Boston, George W. Perkins, Hamilton Fish and Harry s. Josephs of Utah. Colonel Roosevelt returned to Oyster Bay late today.
 MT. Kellogg, who has just defeated Sena- tor Clapp of Minnesota for the republic an senatorial nomination, was known as s'the trust buster" of the last re- publican administration. He called on Charles E. Hughes before seeing Col onel Roosevelt, but declined to state the nature or ms cOnVerSaIlOn WlJn eltner, but declared his belief that there would be perfect harmony in the forthcom- ing campaign.
 Guy Emerson and T. c. Desmond. sec retary and treasurer, respectively, of the Roosevelt nonpartisan league. also called on the colonel With his approval they issued statement saying: l3.r M
 ''The 75,O00 members of the Roosevelt nonpartsan league joined the league be- cause they believed in the principles of Americanism as personified by Theodore Roosevelt, and, inasmuch as Colonel Roosevelt was not nominated by the re- publican national convention, the mem- bers of the league are, of course, under no obligations and they are free to fol- low their own individual preferences in regard to the present candidates for the presidency"
 Emerson and Desmond in their state ment' added that they personally intend to support Mir Hughes and intend to use their influence to enlist other mem bers of the league to work for his elec- ton.

WATCHFUL WAITING POLICY UNALTERED

shadows now all other developments. Although they have only Mexican re- ports to go upon, officials do not ques- tion statements that many American cavalrymen were killed, wounded or captured. In view of the orders given American officers in Mexico, however. they refuse to credit the charge that the commander of the detachment was the aggressor.
 Whatever the facts may prove to be when General Pershngs report ar rives, it is certain that no steps toward reprisal will be taken, at least until One of the first actions. however, would be to demand the release of the Ameri- cans said to have been captured.
 It is not probable there will be any immediate move as result of the in- cident Sunday at Mazatlan. where Mex ican soldiers made an unprovoked at tack on American bluejackets.
 It was deemed probable that should General Pershing's report on the Car have been the aggressors, an opportu- nifty to explain the two incidents would be given the de facto government be- fore any drastic step was ordered.
 Both cases have been officially called to the attention of the United States by the Carranza governments ambas- sador designate Eliseo Arfedondo. He presented to Secretary Lansing today a mildly worded telegram from Mexico City relating to the Carrizal fighting. No details were sent, but an alleged admission of an interpreter with the captured Americans was quoted to blame the American commander for the trouble. Secretary Lansing made no re- ply to MT. Arredondo as he had no advices of his own.
 NOTE TO POWERS
 While the Carrizal incident was oc- cupying officials, a circular note ad- dressed to the South and Central Amer ican diplomats by Secretary Lansing in connection with the Mexican situation was made public at the state depart ment. It accompanied copies of the note to General Carranza, distributed as matter of information, and was ac- cepted by the diplomats as the last word of the United States before proceeding with any steps which Carranza's course might make necessary
 The statement is a blunt assertion Of the purposes of the United States to defend "our national peace and the safety of our citizens,'' even at the cost of war.
 T enclose for your information copy of this governme., June to the secretary of foreign relations of the de facto government of Mexico on the subject of the presence of American troops in Mexican territory. This com munication states clearly the critical re- lations existing between this government and the de facto government of Mexico and the causes which have led up to the present situation.
 Should this situation eventuate into hcstilities which this government would deeply regret and will use every hon ort bic effort to avoid I take this op- lortunity to inform you that this govern ment would have for it's objective not intervention into Mexican affairs with

 A docket of 62 cases appeared before Judge I. A. Lewis in recorders court this morning. 50 of the defendants being charged with violating the traffic law As these were the first arrests for this offense, a fine of $1 was assessed.

 Miss Lois Webber, the feminine pro- ducer of Universal City, presents her latest effort, Shoes" five-part Blue Bird photoplay at the Majestic theatre today and tomorrow. Miss Lois Web Der is the producer of Where Are My Children?" The story of this un- usual production centers around the daughter of a lazy, good for nothing father, who tolls, half slaves, behind the counter of a and 1O-cent store for $5 a week.
 Every Saturday she took her un- opened envelope home to her mother, and every Saturday she was prom ised s for a new pair of shoes.
 Her shoes were full of holes, so rot ten with age and wearing that they were ready to fall from the lashes that bound them to her ankles. But the promise was never fulfilled. Finally unable longer to quiet her surge of resentment, she procured the shoes, but not from the earnings of the store. She was driven to sin, through no fault of her own; she lit- orally sold her soul in order that she might have shoes to cover her feet
