Wil- son's Activities There. PRESIDENT AND BRYAN ACT Slayden OP De Saulles Most Likely to Be Chosen — Fighting Begins In Northern Mexico With Attack on Federals at Nacozari by Maderistas. Washington, March 10.—The revela- tions widely published charging Henry Lane Wilson, ambassador at the City of Mexico, with being largely respon- sible for the overthrow of the Madlero government in Mexico have had two distinct results. The first of these is that the lid is to be pried off and a complete investiga- tion of the uprising in the City of Mex- ico on Feb. 9 made by the state de- partment. The second result, as important in the opinion of the new administration as the first, is the decision of President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan to appoint a successor to Ambassador Wilson as soon as possible. Until the investigation which has been begun by Secretary Bryan is com- pleted and Ambassador Wilson's suc- cessor named, President Wilson and Secretary Bryan will not take the pub- lic into their confidence—that is, noth- ing will be given out concerning the' in- vestigation until it is completed. The investigation is to consist of a careful study of official reports from the City of Mexico, both those from the ambassador and the American con- sul general, Arnold Shahklin, and of the complaints against Ambassador Wilson which have been received by the state department. Considered For Ambassador. Already President Wilson and Secre- tary Bryan have taken up the question of naming Mr. Wilson's successor. Prom reliable sources it was learned that this consideration has gone so far as the bringing forward of the names of men believed to be qualified for 'the post at the City of Mexico. The two names so far most considered are Rep- resentative James L. Slayden of San Antonio, Tex., and John R. De Sanlles of New York. Others under considera- tion are Edward Goltra, Democratic national committeeman from Missouri: Macgrane Coxe, lawyer, of New York, minister to Guatemala and Honduras under President Cleveland, and former Lieutenant Governor Joseph Willard Of Virginia. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have been frequently in confer- ence, and the question of diplomatic appointments was under consideration. When Mr. Bryan was seen he said he had nothing to say a t this time as to who would be Ambassador Wilson's successor. Dispatches from the City of Mexico show a continued state of revolt in the north and that, if the reports from the City of Mexico are true, a battle be- tween the forces of Huerta, head of the government de facto, and General Carranza, head of the rebels in the state of Sonora, is in progress. The consular agent at Guaymas re- ported that railway and telegraphic communication has been destroyed by opponents of the federal government between Guaymas and Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, where the state troops are in control. The consular agent adds that the federal troops, at Guaymas have been ordered to march on Hermosillo. More Bridges Destroyed. Consul Garrett at Laredo reports a body of Maderistas are operating in the vicinity of Lampasas, seventy-five miles south of that city. The consul adds that bridges were repaired and a train passed to Monterey on March G, but that more bridges were destroyed in the vicinity of Lampasas on the same night and that train service to the interior is again interrupted. The consul states that the telegraph lines are also cut and that railroad and ex- press companies refuse to accept freight for shipment to the interior of Mexico through Laredo. Consul Hamm telegraphs from Du-! rango that there have been serious dis- orders in the Laguna district. The forces of Checo Campos, refusing to go north by train, became mutinous and committed robberies in the vicinity of Torreon and Gomez Palacio. However, a large force of troops under the for- mer rebel leader, Argumendo, arrived in time to prevent more serious trou- ble. Campos' troops were reported to be a few miles east of Torreon and their attitude problematical. The con- sul reports also that San Pedro, forty miles northwest of Torreon, has been captured by Carranza's troops after an all night fight The consul adds thai the government is undertaking an en- ergetic campaign and rushing troops ijsto the disaffected district. Oscar Harvey, son of Thomas Har- vey, of Princeton, Ind., reported kid- naped by Mexican rebels and beld for a ransom of $1,000, is safe in Juarez MAN Two Senators Whose Rivalry May Create a Breach In Party Ranks. The action of the Democratic senatorial caucus in electing Senator James P Clarke of Arkansas president pro tem- pore of the senate over Senator Augustus O. Bacon of Georgia, which is equivalent to election in the upper house, owing to the strong Democratic majority there, created a sensation in political circles and has roused much feeling among the sup- porters of Senator Bacon. Senator James A. O.'Gorrnan of New York, who nomi- nated the victor, sprung a complete sur- prise, the election of Senator Bacon with- out opposition having been previously considered certain. It Is predicted that a serious split may now take place in the Democratic ranks of the upper house. XPLOSION COSTING 50 LIVES A MYSTERY Immediate Cause Was Fire In Sow of Alum Chine. Baltimore, March 10.—Mystery offer ing • but scant hope of solution sur- rounds the blowing up of the British steamer Alum Chine, in which fifty lives were lost and many injured. The immediate cause of the explo- sion was a fire in the bow of the ship, but how and when the fire started are questious entirely unanswered. Coroner Russell of the eastern dis- trict has impaneled a jury for an in- quest, inspectors of the government bureau of mines have gone to the scene of the explosion, and the Mary- land Steel company, builders of the collier Jason, is uniting with the un- derwriters of insurance and the British consul in an attempt to fix the respon- sibility for the catastrophe. With all of these, government steamship in- spectors and the police department of the city are co-operating. Because most of the crew of the de- stroyed steamer were subjects of Great Britain, the British consul at Balti- more, Gilbert Fraser, will inquire into the explosion with the view of protect- ing the interests of the families of the killed and wounded and to make a re- port to the British admiralty. The explosion was so terrific that it has seriously crippled the coast de- fenses of the harbor. In many instan- ces the concrete fonndations of the heavy guns in Forts Hancock, Armis- tead and Carroll were cracked, while several of the guns themselves were damaged by falling pieces of steel from the wrecked steamer. At Fort iVrmistead the damage, it is estimated, will reach several thousand dollars, while at Fort Carroll the damage is placed at $2,500. CLEWS' AT LAW OVER SHACK. ADVERTISE IN THE JOURNAL :f Sfelfs to Evict Alleged Squatter, who Will Fight the Millionaire. Borne, N. X., March 10.—A tumble down shack with a bit of land on the Mohawk river in this city is the prize tor which Henry Clews, millionaire banker, and Joe Hall, a negro laborer, are about to engage in a legal battle. Mr. Clews claims that Hall is a squat- ter and has brought suit to compel him to vacate. Hall, who has had a deed to the property since 1889, has employed a lawyer. CUBA TO MODIFY AMNESTY LAW turn. Pending Study, It Will Not Be Put Into Force. TO BE CAREFULLY DEFINED Havana Thinks That by Interpretation Most of the Objections cf This Coun- try Will Be Met and Overcome—Con- cessions to Sentiment Here. Havana, March 10.—Application of the general amnesty law for Cuba, which was signed by President Gomez, has been suspended pending the prepa- ration for publication of a statement by the secretary of th* in'frJor defin- ing the scope of tin* law, Mhieh will be effective for all classes of prisoners. The document, it is expected, will be practically a modification of the law to meet the objections made by the United States minister, Arthur M. Beaupre. Washington, March 10.—The Gomez government, through Minister Beaupre, signified its willingness to temporize on the amnesty law, which would open the doors of prisons to hundreds of criminals. Assurance was given that the act would not go into effect imme- diately. In the meantime an effort will be made to explain its meaning to this government and by judicial interpreta- tion modify its operation in such a way as will satisfy the United States that it is not such a bad law as it is painted.. That is precisely the answer that those best informed on the situation predict- ed would be made by Gomez. Passage of Amnesty Act, The amnesty act passed the Cuban senate Feb. 4 and Secretary Knox at Whose Appointment to Court of St. James Is Denied by W. J. Bryan. •*?>-• $0:>, \4M l*t A ' -J* .jwL * & WILL NOT BE AMBASSADOR. k ».i 7 ' tea PRESIDENT GOMEZ OF CUBA. once asked Mr. Beaupre for a n expla- nation of what was intended by it. The answer came that it was only a plan to set free the negroes who start- ed a revolution in the eastern end of the island last summer and a few of- fenders of similar character. This seemed satisfactory, but the Cuban congress went on and amended the bill before its final passage so as to include a large number of criminals and to grant pardons in the future. The new sections, according to opin- ion here, is the thing that Gomez most desires to become a law and it is what he is aiming to save from the bill after concessions have been made to the United States. Olney, It Is Said, Would Not Be Ac- ceptable to Great Britain. Washington, March 10. — An an- nouncement apparently coming from the White House that Richard Olney, secretary of state under Cleveland, had been offered the ambassadorship to England was hotly denied by Secretary of State Bryan. It was observed at the state depart- ment that Mr. Olney would not be at all acceptable to Great Britain, as it was he who \wrote the notes to Eng- land in the Venezuelan matter in which i,lr. Cleveland reminded Queen Vic- toria's government that the Monroe doctrine was still in force. In view of the fact that England and the United States are now a t variance over the canal situation, it is believed that the selection of Mr. Olney would be particularly offensive. NEW TRIAL PLEASES GIBSON. DIES AFTER FIGHT IN PRISON Two Convicts Clash Over Tobacco and One Is Hurt Mortally. Ossining, N. Y., March 10.—Cooper Jones, a negro prisoner in Sing Sing, who engaged in a rough and tumble fight -with John Rogers, a white pris- oner, on Friday afternoon, died from a fracture of the skull. Jones had accused Rogers of filching tobacco from his tobacco pouch. The fight started in the paint room of the department As the guards filed out at the head of a column of prisoners Jones and Rogers fell behind and went at each other fiercely. Jones was knocked out before' the guards knew what had happened. Jones, who came from Mount Kisco. had served one year of an indetermi- nate sentence of from four to nine years for attempted murder. Rogers bad served one year of a three year sentence for carrying a concealed weapon. WILSON IN LINCOLN'S PEW. More Anxious For Vindication Than Freedom, He Says. Goshen, N. Y., March 10.—The inten- tion of District Attorney Wilson to try Burton W. Gibson a second time at the May term of the supreme court seems to be a matter of satisfaction to Gibson himself. Since the jury disagreed at his first trial for the murder of Mrs. Rosa Men- sehik Sabo, Gibson has had a monot- onous existence in the Goshen jail. Gibson says that he desires another trial and will not be satisfied to have the indictment against him quashed, because he wants vindication even more than freedom. Unless new evi- dence is found conviction is regarded as doubtful, but the district attorney's view of the matter is that to bring Gibson to trial again is. a duty that devolves upon him which cannot be shirked because of any doubt as to. the outcome. Mrs. Gibson spent the day with her husband. She has been a tireless worker in. his interests. WOULD SEE THAW ALONE. Attorneys Appeal to Court Against Prison Department Order. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 10. — Former County Judge Seeger, William Van Name and Harry Hirschburgh of Newburg, counsel to Harry K. Thaw, will test the strength of the state prison department next Saturday in issuing an order preventing them from consulting Thaw privately in the Mat- teawan asylum. They obtained an or- der from Justice Morsehauser direct- ing Dr. Leak, superintendent of the hospital, to show cause before him in Newburg next Saturday why they should not have the privilege. The order was served. Mr. Van Name said Thaw's mother was barred from talking with him ex- cept in the presence of a guard. Attends Same Presbyterian Church Which Held Many of His Predecessors. Washington, March 10.i>-President Wilson attended service at the New York Avenue Presbyterian church, oc- cupying for the first time the pew in Which Presidents Lincoln and Buchan- an once sat. Dr. Wallace Radclitfe, pastor of the New York avenue church, has been a close friend of President Wilson for many years. LOAN SHARKS GIVE FREE RIDES Driven From Capital, They Use Autos to Carry Prey to Virginia. Washington, March 10.—Loan sharks ilriven out of the national capital by the terms of an act passed by the last congress have not only established of- fices at the Virginia edge of the Long bridge, which connects the District of Columbia with the Old Dominion, but have organized a free automobile serv- ice from Washington for prospective borrowers. The motorcars cruise along the ave- nues of the capital, picking up the \financially embarrassed\ ones and carrying them outside the jurisdiction of the law for their transactions. w .iU/Mnilri.triHC3 SUBSCRIBE FOR THE JOURNAL. SVOIOE Tells Audience to Leave and Pianist to Play On. ALL BEACH DOORS SAFELY. When Every One Is Out Musician Leaps to Stage and' beads Brave Per- former Out by Rear Exit, While Fire. Spreads Rapidly. Worcester, Mass., March 10.—The coolness of Edward I. Boyle, a blind singer, in keeping on With his song while fire spread rapidly in the balcony of E. W. Lynch's Pleasant street thea- ter prevented a panic in the audience of 500 persons, all of whom filed out to safety. When the audience had passed out Joseph L. Rogers, the pianist, who had played Boyle's accompaniment throughout the trying time, leaped upon the stage and led the \blind man out through a rear exit. The flames spread so swiftly that a general alarm of fire was sounded, call- ing out nearly all the fire apparatus in town, and the firemen worked desper- ately to save the adjoining buildings in the center of the business district. The flames finally -were confined to the theater, which is in ruins. The loss is estimated at $35,000. Henry W. Lynch,, son of the proprie- tor, was standing in the wings on the stitge when he saw flames creeping along the lower part of the balcony, where the electric wires had become crossed. Stepping out to Boyle, who was sing- ing an illustrated song, with all lights on the theater turned down except the spotlight, Lynch whispered to the singer that the house was afire. Boyle requested the audience to file out promptly, but without confusion. Panic Was Imminent. There was a quick shuffling of feet, and several persons had broken into a run when the blind nian signaled to Rogers at the piano to \hit up a chord in G.\ Rogers struck at once into a popular air, and as Boyle's voice rang out melodiously all panic vanished. Everybody moved fast, but without jostling. Before half the crowd had left the auditorium the spotlight sputtered and went out. In the dark the singer and the pianist kept on with the song. Boyle's brother, Thomas, who leads the blind man around, was across the street when he saw smoke pouring from the theater. He bolted for the theater, intent upon rescuing his brother. He reached the door of the audito- rium just in time to see Rogers jump to the stage and rush the blind man through a rear door. Boyle then ran back to the street, where'he soon found his brother unharmed. It was Rogers' second exciting expe- rience in a theater within a month. On Fe~b. 19, while playing a piano at another theater, flames Were discov- ered and Rogers stuck to his post until the audience was out. At that time he lost his street clothes and his music by delaying so long. He lost his be- longings again in helping the blind man. PISTOL SAVES HANGED MAN Shots Bring Help to John Finnan, Caught In Fork of Tree. Newton, N. J., March 10.—The habit of John Finnan, a farm hand, of car- rying a revolver probably saved his life when he accidentally hanged him- self head downward in the fork of an oak tree. Finnan fell from an upper branch of the tree, and his left leg caught in a fork. His leg w r as broken and his ankle was wedged in so that he could not release it. No branch was near enough for hiin to grasp, and h e hung head downward with the weight of his body pulling at his broken leg. Finnan reached into his pocket, got his revolver and fired it as a signal for help. Farmers heard the shots and came to help him. The first to arrive stood un- derneath Finnan and eased him by holding up his shoulders. Another man climbed the tree and rigged a block and tackle to Finnan's body. As only one man could work in the tree, this operation consumed more than half an hour. When released Finnan was unconscious. & \DROP IN SOMEWHERE AND BRING ME HOME A OUARTER'S WORTH OF THOSE 55 CIGARS!
