BORAH RETURNS
INCREASE. IN PAY
Has Given Back $500 a
Year to U. S. Because
Elected to ST 500 Job.
Nv the Associated d Press.

BY the Associated Press,
Senator Borah of Idaho, who fre-
nuently has declined TO go along with
a majority of his colleagues on foreign
and domestic policies. has also refused
to follow their lead on a question tnas
affects his pocketbook.
He has been turning back INTO lne
Treasury $500 Of his annual salary
since Congress two years ago IN
creased the nay of Senators and Rep
resentatives from $500 to $4,000.
And he said he intends to do so until
the completion of his present term In
1881.
Declines to Talk.
When this became known yesterday
the Idaho Senator was reluctant to
discuss his action, explaining that he
was afraid he might be misunderstood
He said he had guarded his refusal To
accept the salary increase as one OF
high principle, far removed from poll
tics or personal need.
II went before the people OF my
State and asked them to elect me To
a position paying $500 a year" ne
added They elected me and do not
feel that I could accept an increase
in good faith without giving them an
opportunity to express themselves"
The Idaho Republican declared he
did not believe the present $4,000
salary of Senators was exorbitant
but contended that it should have
been arranged so that 1t became eff
fective at the end of senatorial terms
Borah Was Absent.
When the salary increase was voted
at a night session of the Senate Mr.
Borah was not present. The next
day he moved for reconsideration ol
the resolution but was outyoted.
The only member of the Senate tc
refuse the increase, he recently sal
silent when Senator Hefiin, Democrat
Alabama, twitted him over pretending
to be opposed to the raise in Senators
pay and then eagerly accepting 1t.
Immediately after the increase was
voted, Representative Tucker, Demo
crat, Virginia. served notice that he
would not accept 1t during that term
of Congress, holding. as has Senator
Borah, that until reelected he owed
1t to his constituents to continue te
serve at $500 year.

one who has presidential hopes.
"If / am running for President,

responded.
Four-score business and professional
men, who attended the luncheon.

the rules of the United States Senate
between Mr.. Dawes and Senator
Moses of New Hampshire, president

Havana. He Cancelled his contem-
plated visit today to Treasure Island,
John T. McCutcheon's home in the

Former Gov. Cox in introducing
Mr.. Dawes to his guest, declared:
Gen. Dawes has been in the Sen

has withstood the storm there. He
comes to US with his calm, his poise,
his sanity.

He said many things about the
Senate. IL half of what he has said
is true, then I question the propriety
of a proceeding that's going on in the

MEXICO CITY, March 12.--After a
final conference with President Gales
tomorrow, Ambassador Manuel TelleZ
will leave to go direct to Washington
with a message Of the Mexican reac-
tion to United States demands.
An unprecedented reticence In ON
cial circles has featured Ambassador
Tellez's brief stay in Mexico City.
Cabinet members, under rigid warn
ing from powers above them. have
kept their mouths closed about state
secrets. Although it is well known in
diplomatic circles that the Ambassador
was called here as result OF the
Amernican note transmitted to the Tor
eign office by United States Ambassa-
dor Sheffield a week ago Monday, con-
firmation of that information remains
to be gotten from official sources.
Pretense Still Stands.
Although he held long daily confer
ences with the President, the pretense
still remained that he came to see a
sick brother.
According to authoritative sources,
though unofficially, he was called to
the Office of Acting Secretary of State
Grew and told orally what the United
States Government proposed to do In
case the Mexican government main
tained it's stand on property laws.
After the Grew conference. Mr.. Teiiez
started for Mexico. Mr.. Crews mes
sage is reported to have been virtual

Extremely grave Is the character
that the ambassador is said TO nave
given the situation in his reports to
President Gales and his official ad-
visers. An unconfirmed story In cir
culation here quotes him as inform
ing the cabinet that unless they modi'
fed their position on alien property
laws, it was useless for him TO remain
