Complaints Come From Drivers, Not Walkers,
 He Remarks

Mayor Weld Is not entirely satis fed with the success of the aug mented traffic light system in it's first few days of operation but be- lieves the idea will work out with efficiency after some changes and re-lOcatiOnS arc made.
 The mayor formally put the sys- tenn in operation yesterday when he threw the switch in the control tow CT at the intersection of Main and West Main streets. From his ele- yated position the executive watched traffic operations up and down Main street for some time.
 Discussing the lighting plan today the mayor emphasized the fact that criticism has come mainly from automoblists who evidently lose sight of the fact that the lights have been placed primarily for the bcno- fit of pedestrians. whose interests have been considered as of second ary importance heretofore

JOHNSON'S STATUS IN LEAGUE IS DOUBTFUL But Walker Denies He Has Been Offered
 Presidency

New York. April 23 tpl-1f Mayor James J. Walker of New York has been offered the presidency of the American league at a salary of $l0O.000 neither he nor Ban John- son who now holds the post has heard anything about it formally.
 Word to that effect came today from the office of President John son in Chicago and from the city hall here where the sudden rumor sprang up yesterday that the mayor had been approached and told he could write his own salary ticket.
 "l would not discuss any offer un- till it was formally made Mayor Walker said.
 There's nothing to it," was the assertion of William Harridgc. sec retary to MT. Johnson who had gone 10 Excelsior Springs. Mo, for q weekend rest. Tt looks like some advertising for Mayor Walker" he added
 American league club owners were as unproductive Of informa- ton. There even seemed to be some uncertainty as to whether Johnson is .'in" or "out" of the active presl- dency of the league.
 While denying Mayor Walker had been made any kind of an offer, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, owner Of the Yankees. declared positively that Johnson is "out.'
 At Johnson's office In Chicago it was pointed out, however, that he is performing his duties as president of the league. receives a salary of S4O,000 a year, and holds a contract which does not expire until 1885. Mayor Walker too has long term contract. his with the city Of New York. It is stated positively by per sons close to him that the mayor would not consider an offer until the expiration of his term, January , 1, 1880.

He said the administration doctrine appeared to be that some country is gong 10 deyelop Mexico, and we are going to do it."
 Approves Smiths Stand.
 Mr. Hapgood added that Governor Smiths "flatfooted declaration that we have no right to interfere in the domestic affairs of that or any other country, square!y made an Issue when an issue was sorely needed. v
 Other speakers, including pr. Will liam R. Shepherd, Columbia unlver- sity; Victor II. Cutler Boston: hr- C. H. Haring, Harvard, and Wallace Thompson. editor of 'Ingenieria ln- ternacional," discussed relations of the United States with Central and South American countries.
 Tanncnbaum's Reply. If the United States could con- vince Mexico that ''so far as we are concerned We shall not injure its nationality nor destroy it's culture, Mir, Tannenbaum said, Mexico's policy would "changc over nlsht. There seems to be clear evidence | that our policy towards Mexico was ! based upon the assumption that the nresent Mexican administration was 1 temporarv in character, that IL was so unstable that We could safely bank upon it's fall, and that our ob- l lection to it would hasten its dlsap- l pearanoe. That assumption alone make intolligible the bad temper l displayed.

 Dr Haring said the United states controlled the political destinies O l Central America, Mexico and othe1 nearby Latin regions "as eifectlvel. as if we maintained a formal protec .ora-e over the entire area" This he declared, was the consequence an "evolution in international reia tions, in the balance of political an' economic power"

SC0RNED WOMAN IS i HAVING VENGEANCE
This Is Believed Cause of Capt.
 Clampitt's Dismissal
FIGURED IN ARMY SCANDAL
Chaplain, Married and Father Of Four Children, Refuses To Dis cuss Situation But Friends Arc Not So Modest.

San Francisco, April 2 tP'-Fury of a woman scorned took its effect today on the career Of Captain Or vile I. Clampitt, army chaplain, who found himself out of job presum- ably because of two affairs which have kept army circles supplied with gossip for a year.
 Colonel A. V. Anderson, chief of staff of the Ninth Army corps, an nounced here yesterday that he had received an order from Wash ineton to discharge Clampitt. He declined to give out the text or the order, but said it already had be- come effective.
 Married and q Father
 Clampitt, stationed at Vancouver barracks, Washington, where he has a wife and four children, refused to discuss the matter. T was clear cd of those charges he insisted. There are no charges now.'
 But the army circle remembered testimony at Clampitt's court-mar- tial here about q year ago, to the effect that his accuser, Miss Lucille Swallow, of Kansas City. kas., was out to get the captain because h." refused to give her money shrug- ged their shoulders and quoted the line about the fury of a woman scorned." The announcement of Clampitt's discharge ignored Miss Swallows charges but the chaplain's acquaintanccs regarded those charges as the beginning of his downfall.
 The Woman Enters. 1 Miss Swallow entered the chap | lains life early in his army career. He met her when he was attending 1 a chaplain's school at Leavenw orth. l[as. Miss Swallow was a waitress 1 there. She filed her charges after he ] had been ordered west and statloned at Vancouver barracks.
 ] Clampitt denied having improper relations with the girl. and at the court martial three surprise witness as testified that she was out to get him because he refused her money. That unexpected blow so disrupted the prosecution that the court found the Chaplain not guilty" despltt the testimony of Miss Swallow her self, an introduction of Clampltt alleged love letters as evidence. Victorious, Clatnpitt went to santa Cruz, Cal, ostensibly to visit hls parents. There he became the center of an incident involving Joseph Ia Der, of San Francisco: and Mrs. Hazel K. Seddon. friend Of MT and | Mrs. Taber. Mrs. Seddon struch him across the face with folded newspaper as they stood in the lop- by Of q Santa Cruz hotel. Reporters discovered that Mrs. Helen Tabei was registered at the hotel as Mrs Helene Jones. while Clampltt "a' registered as William Jones.
 Clampitt explained that he hat resistercd under an assumed nam' because he wanted to avoid publlcltl after the strain of the court-martial He pointed out that Mrs. Taper ant
 he had rooms in different parts O the hotel. Taber himself later mad' q statement eXonerating both th' chaplain and Mrs. Taber, and mn
 itary inquiry resulted in tindin'
 that evidence of wrongdolns wa
 lacking.
 Nevertheless Clamptt was liste'
 for discharge last winter. He wa
 given a hearing behind closed door
 and the findings were sent to Wash
 ington for action.
