MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., Aug. 10
Blood poisoning that developed from
the picking Of a pimple on her chin,
today caused the death Of Mrs. Dan

about ten days ago that the pimple
was picked, and the infection began
shortly afterward.

but by the time this condition had
developed the poisoning was so deep
seated that it's progress to fatal re-
suits could not be checked. Mrs.

Polish contention that the Relief Ad-

HARDING SEEKS
RECOGNITION Of
ObREG0N RULE
Request, for Federal Protection
Of AIians Based on Kill
ing Of Mexioans.
By unl,ersal service.

President Harding's desire to
recognize Mexico as soon as possible
was given in high official quarters
yesterday as one of his principal rea-
sons for asking Congress to provide
Federal protection for aliens who
now lack protection under State
laws.
The White House statement of
Friday, amplifying that part OF his
message which urged enactment OF
the Kellogg bill had direct reference
to the two Mexicans killed in the
Herrin strike riots, concerning which
the Mexican government made repre-
sentation to the State Department.
II is understood the President does
not want anything extraneous to
stand In the way of recognition OF
the Obregon government as soon as
the Mexican supreme court has pass
ed further decisions safeguarding
American property rights.
Harding for Recognition.
The President. for months sympa-
thetic toward President Obregon, re-
Gently has gone considerably out of
his way. to indicate that ''the drift
is in the right direction" 80 far as
recognition Is concerned. Every
recent White House statement con.
corning Mexico has indicated willing
ness to grant diplomatic recognition
at the earliest opportunity.
1t Is believed the President would
be willing to recognize Mexico right
now II 1t were not for Secretary Of
State Hughes insistence on technical
guarantees. as 1t Is understood he
Is perfectly convinced of President
Obregon's disposition and ability to
protect American rights south Of the
border, particularly since his recep

Adolfo de la Huerta, who was re-
, ceived also by Secretary Hughes.
The White House Is understood
fully to recognize the Justice Of the
Mexican complaint that much 10

an American citizen while num-
bers Of Mexicans are being slain in
the United States. Besides the
two killed at Herrin, five We're put

Gently. and there have been other
instances.
Could Intervene In Riots
II the Kellogg bill were on the
statute books. the President could
order Federal authorities in Illinois
to take punitive action, such as has
not been taken by the State gov
ernment. He could legally inter.
vene in strike riots with Federal
troops, as President Cleveland did
in the emergency Of the Chicago
riots.
Illinois officials have taken the
position that the Mexicans killed
were not striking workmen or strike
breakers, and were killed as innocent
bystanders, and for this reason there
was no ground for formal protestS
War Department officials do not
agree with this viewpoint, nor does
the White Houes, which believes
that th.. GovoI nm"nt of the United
States should be held strictly ac-
countable to the Mexican govern
ment for the murder Of its nationals
within American borders.
