function.
Intervention in Mexico by the United
Plates or by n coalition of the Powers
is discussed In a series of Interviews
obtained by Tiik Sun and presented to
day to Its readers. The consensus ap
parently Is against such action except
as n last resort to end anarchy In the
troubled republic.
Comment on this Government's pol
icy ("whatever that may be." as ex-
1 'resident Taft put It recently) is
'guarded, though Oov. Colquitt of Texas
unreservedly says this country Is neg
lecting Its duty.
An article In the London Spectator
In which that puper called on ITesleleni
Wilson to restore order in Mexico even
if that course resulted In annexation,
and which was published In The Sun
yesterday suggested the Interviews that
follow:
Lcopou Uraiimc. translator of "The
Two Americas'." a book by ex-Presldcnt
Iteye.! of Colombia, and known as an au
thority on South Anicrlcu "1 am under
tin- Impression that Intervention will be
absolute necessity. I do not see bow a
..eyeful solution of the dltllculty In Mex
o nan be brought about merely by the
suppression or removal of lluerta, as
mere are many other contending factors,
to be dealt with 1m fore at least an orderly
internment can be established with sulti
t lent force and authority to maintain
peace and oilier.
"When I suggett that Intervention may
Income a necessity my meunlng l that
It should bi: a fu'.ui of intervention which
m no way would violate the sovereignty
or Independence of the Mexican nation.
In relation tolexleo the United States Is
much In the same position as a law abid
ing householder Is to a turbulent neighbor
who disturbs his peace. The first duty of
every properly constltu'ed government Is
to maintain law and order within Its ter
ritories and continued failure to fulfil
that duty necessarily calls for Interven
tion on the part of the neighbors whose
nationals may bo materially Injured by a
prolonged reign of annrchy.
L'nltrd States Would Be JnntlBrd.
"On this ground alone the United States
would bo justified in demanding a halt In
the brutal conditions now prevailing on
the other side of the IUo Grande. Even
In the greater countries of South America,
where I'an-Amerlcanlsm Is only recog
nized on a primary basis of complete In
dependence of the smallest Latin Ameri
can republic, there would be no objection
to the ndoptlon of measures by the United
States which have for their sole purpose
the restoration of Internal peace In the
republic of Mexico.
"There is, moreover, the fact that upon
these lines President Wilson's Government
would receive at least the moral support
of all the European Powers. But what
ever steps may be taltcn In that direction
must leave beyond all question no doubts
us to the actual purpose of intervention.
"Any kind ol action which would con
stitute Interference Into purely domestic
concerns of Mexico would bo fraught with
serious danger to the relations of the
United States and the greater republics
of the south. The Intervention might
take the form of recognizing the revolu
tionaries as belligerents, upon their lead
ers giving Joint and several under
takings to conduct their operations accord
ing to the rules of war and, as far
as possible In the terms of the Geneva
convention, with additional guarantees
that In the event of their success against
fie forces of lluerta they would
ur.lte In securing a fair election for a
futuru President and would submit to the
icsult.
I'fiii-tiiierli'an Pact Impracticable.
"I wish particularly to emphasize the
"n;nt that the suggestion bo frequently
made that tho United States should Invite
the leading republics of Latin America to
help them deal with Mexico or any
other Latin American State In which dif
ficulties may urlse is entirely imprac
ticable. "None of the larger South American
ountrlis would Interfere In the Internal
diltlcultles of sister republics without being
requested to do so by all the parties
lo the dispute. The further suggestion
lo expand the Monroe Doctrine so as to
include the loading South American re
publics would amount to inviting them to
BMumo the posilblo rlBk of war with
Europe, That forms no part of their
programme or their policy."
Chahlkh It. Flint, head of Flint & Co.,
ni'1 the American Trading Company:
"In my opinion, the Administration In

standard of ethics never before excelled

LIKE MONA LISA, LITTLE
BRONZE DUCK IS BACK
Mysteriously Left at Academy
With Scrawl. "Duck Ain't
Worth n Dam."
The bronze duel; of Mile, .lane t'ou
pelet. stolen on Tuesday or Wednesday
from the exhibition rooms of the National
Academy of Design, was returned yes
terday. And still nobody at the Academy
knows who took It.
On Friday this unsigned letter on soiled
paper was received at the ticket office:
"I have the duck my girl she took
him I can sell him " dolers. I am honest
mill my boy wll bring duck give him no
questions he ilont no nothing."
Mlsi S. M. Richardson, who rules the
tlc'iet office, was therefore on the wntch
tor a boy fetching back Mil, Poupelet's
duck, but lion appeared. Yesterday af
ternoon several women came to the ticket
window In a group. When she had fin
ished with them and other business Miss
Richardson found that one of thm bad
left a small package. She opened It and
the bronze duck tumbled out.
The duck was wrapped In a copy of the
Coil, the Socialist dally. Thue was a
scrwal on the paper which was deciph
ered as rouows: "uucic nm i worm a
dam. The bulls don't pinch me this
time."
Immediately a guard peered Into the
exhibition rooms, but not a woman was
In sight. Thu doorman thought that one
who bad Just gone out with a bundle of
papers under her arm must be the lady
who restored the Toupelet duck.
"The funny part of It is that whoever
brought back the duck didn't stop for tho
reward that we offered." says Secretary
Harry W. Watrous. "I suppose It was
returned because the thief found out
that the duck laid no golden eggs. Any
way those In charge of the exhibitions of
the Academy havo learned a lesson In
watchfulness."
The duck was the only one of four ob
Jects submitted by the French sculptress
which the National Academy accepted.
It is worth about $25. Arthur Davis, an
artist, bought it several days ago.

Pnustmo, Tex, Jan. 3. The most lei rifle
fighting of the week's battle at OJInaga
between the defending Federals and tho
attacking rebels was In progress to-day.
Artillery was used more extenlvely
than at any time since the owning of
righting last Monday night. The artillery
duel last night was very spirited.
The Federal batteries are showing good
marksmanship, but the rebels are shoot
ing high and many of their shells havo
fallen upon American territory, resulting
In further warning being sent to the com
batants and a denial from tho Federals
that any of their shells are endangering
Americans.
Terror hns been added to the condition
of the refugees here by the outbreak yes
terday of smallpox among the wounded In
the. Presidio hospital. All Americans ate
being vaccinated.
During the night the Federals ciept out
of trenches, at least 200 of thum. and got
positions In the river bottom about half a
mile from the rebel outposts to the south
east. At this point the rebels had sever.il
hundred men entrenched, piotected by two
machine guns.
The rebel outpost discovered the
Federals at S o'clock this morning and,
the battle was on. The big guns at OJln.iR.i
opened up to. protect the retreating
i euerais, wno railed to displace tile rebels.
Malncur Ilrpuliie Ite-bela.
Advancing rebels were lepulsed by
Salazar's forces on tho left wing this
morning, the volley tiring and machine
tiring being terrific. Kvery available
cannon Is being discharged by both sides.
When some rebels were crossing four
miles below Presidio esterday afternoon
the Federals attempted to shell the cro..s
Ing and threw a number of shells oer
this place, but they burst too high to do
haim. One shell bunt last nlRht In the
midst of rebel headquarters, wounding
seventy-live. The rebels Immediately
shifted their position.
The Federals are caiefully reserving
their lire and saving ammunition. Dozens
weie killed mid many wounded on both
sides when a portion of tho garrison at
OJInaga attempted to dislodge Constitu
tionalist machine guns In the first ar
rive nearest to OJInaga.
The Federals wcu repulsed seveiely and
a great artillery dwi was fousht. Hulli
sides have large supplies of ammunition
In an Interview Mercadn. Cimtto and
Salazar, the Federal Generals, said to-day
that they would die fighting rather than
surrender Ojlnag.i.
The Tederals have twenty laige field
pieces and hundreds of rounds of ammuni
tion. Trinidad Itodrlguez has arrived with
large iebel reonforcements.

One of the main attacking rebel leaden
Is a woman, .Maria Gulterrez. who 1ms re

One hundred thousand dollars In Mexi
can money was brought here from Marfa
to pay the Federal soldiers, having been
recovered by Sheriff Chastaln from those
who stole It several days ngo. Tho Fed

for desertions. A mutiny was feared be
caused they had received no pay.
Two thousand Mexican refugees, In
cluding many half starved women and
children and mihhi Federal deserters,
rushed across thu river to TexiiH Mill to
day to seek protection from the battle.
"Unless the rebels use bayonets or tho
Federals get panic stricken and desert
to the American sldo the Federal force
at OJInaga will bn able to hold out for
weeks against three tlmo the number
of rebels the way they am lighting at tho
present time," said Sergeant-Mnjor Uus

"The Federals are entrenched behind

"Tho cannon nro stationed In such a

trenches' and the plain between to the loft.
Tho rebels have taken advantage of the
crevices In tho rocks of the mountain and
were also lighting behind trenches which
they hal thrown up. Their cannon are
also welt set und thu artillerymen have
done some good firing.
"From the explosions I judged that the
shells werei from 12 to 20 pounders, They
both did good shell tiring. I saw n num
ber of hits by both rebel and Federal
gunners and ulso saw tho rebel force of
Indians stripped to tho waist and sniping
at the Federals.
"They are brave. I saw ono continue to
fire after he had been wounded, i also
saw u shell strike a horseman who was
standing In one of tho crevices. The
horse fell and I could see tho comrades

P.ICll.MONii. Jan. S. Keimit ltooevelt,
second son of Col. itootevelt. Is engaged
to nnrry Miss Helle Wlllard, daughter of
Joseph K, Wlllard, American Ambassa

Mis) Helle W. Wllbird Is the elder of
two elaughters of Joseph II. Wlllnid, ap
pointed Ambas'odor to Spain by resi
dent Wilson on July 11. The other daugh
ter Is Miss Mary K. Wlllard.
Miss Wlllard made her elebut to year
ago and Is one of the most ndmlreel of the
younger society ret In Itlchmond. She Is
blond, rather small and with clear rut
featuies. During the last two seasons
she has been prominent In tl;. socl.il life
of lllchmond. Wahlngton. Mainmort. New
York nnd Hot Springs. Vn.. nnd It was
while at the latter re'ort that she met
Miss Kthel Hoosevelt, now Mrs. Itichanl
Derby, who was the guiwt of the Wlllaids
on a long motor ride through Virginia.
Miss Wlllard visited the Roosevelt home
nt Ojster Il.y and It was while there that
she became acquainted with Kermit. She
was a guest at the IHrby-lloosevelt wed
ding In New' York last winter, after which
young Itesisevelt sailed for Hrii7.ll. wheie
he has been enuaged In e ngineering.
The romance between the Vrlglnla ghl
and the son of the ex-l'resldent w.n little
talke'd about or suspected. Miss Wlllard
will be presented at the couit of St.
James's next month She has been nbrond
since September with her mother and
younger sister.
It Is understood that ftillnning the w.-d-ding
tho young couple will take up their
lesldence at Sao Paulo, Hrnzll, where Miv
lto(i-evelt Is established In business.
Ambassador Wlllard Is a lawjer and a
Dvinocrntlc iolltlclan of note. His family
came from Vermont to Washington, U.
C, where Ambassador Wlllard's father
built up a fortune In real estate. He was
once the owner of the Wlllard Hotel.
Ambassndor Wlllard Is now president
of the Virginia Hotel Company of Wash
ington. He moved to Itlchmoud more than
twenty years ago, nnd soon became active
In Democratic politics. He was Lieutenant-Governor
of Virginia from 1902
to 1 906, and has been a candidate for
Gubernatorial and Senatorial honors.
T. II., Jr., .Veil Suriirlird.
The Hoosevelt home at Oyster U.iy is
now closed and the superintendent of the
estate knew nothing of tho engagement.
Theodore Hoosevelt, Jr., who lives at 105
Kast Seventy-fourth street, did not seem
to be startled when he was teild of the
despatch.
"Of course such an announcement
sliould come from the parents of the
girl," he said, "I can't comment upon It
Ir. nny wuy."
He ndded that Miss Wlllard Is now with
her father, und Is either In Madrid or
London. Kennlt Is In South America with
his father.
Kermit Hoosevelt Is now 24 years old.
He has been ono of the public's favorites
of the' Hoosevelt family, although he has
not been much In the public eye since his
father left tho White House.
When the Colonel was President, Ker
mit got Into tho newspapers almost every
day through boyish pianks or bits of
juvenile) philosophy he uttered. Since ha
reached early manhood ho has spent most
of his time travelling. In the woods or on
trips of exploration and sightseeing with
his father,
Kermit was educated at Grot on, prepar
ing for Harvard, where all tho inalo
UoOBovclts were educated. Ills skill us a
hunter and woodsman caused his father
to take him on the African trip, and Ker
mit served as otllclul photographer for
the party, 8lnio then ho has taken fre
quent jumps up to Maine, out to tho Hock

hunting on his own account.
About seven years ago, when ho was

of a runaway team of horses at Oyster
Buy. In tho carriage wero u man, his
wife and two children, and the first break
of the horses threw the man out, leaving
the others helpless. Kermit, who was on
hurseback, chased tho runaway along tho
country roads for mora than a inllo be

personal risk he sawed tho frightened
horses down to a standstill, and tho
woman und her children thus escaped un

WOULD PREVENT EXPOHT
Embargo Suggested to Conserve
Supply for Use of Can
cer Patients.
Washinoton-, Jan. 3. Opposition will
be mnde by members of the Colorado
delegation In Congress to the bill pro
posed by Secretary of the Interior Lane
J reserving lo the United States all rights
( and ownership In radium bearing ores
found In public laudr.
Secretary Lane recently recommended
' the passage of such a law, declaring that
the value of radium had been cnhanceil
I because of the belief that It would prove
fffpotlv. n a i-ii'i1y for evincr.
"Th people of Colorado are seriously
erotieurmcl with nnv nronocd legislation
which will reult In the segregation of
any more land In our State as the result
I of mineral entry and thereby cause a de
pletion of Its mineral products," said lli-p-resentatlvo
Seldomrldge of the Second
Colorado district.
"While It Is necessary that radium de
posits should Inure to the benefit of the
citizens of our country. It senis to me
that b)I the legislation necessary to ac
eompllsh this result Is that which will
prevent the exportation of radium to
Kuropeaii countries and retain the quan
tity produced In the United States.
"Then has been an evident decline In
prospe-ctlng throughout Colorado." contin
ued Mr. Seldomrldge, "as well as other
llocky Mountain States, and while this
apparent elect ease In prospecting Inter
ests cannot be enlliely laid to the policy
of conservation we do think it has
been to some extent the cause of the fall
ing on In mineral production by Impos
ing lfstrlctlons and regulations upon
those who are seeding to locate and ele
velop. mines of gold and other valuable
minerals.
"It has been stated that It Is necessary
to expoit the carnotlte ores In which
radium l found to Kurope In order to
have the satm treated. If there are nn
chemists In this country who have the
ceiriect processes for treatlng the ores, our
Government could well employ such for
eign chemists to treat them tn the United
States,
"I am heartily In favor of any legis
latlon to prevent the monopolisation of
radium producing territory and will gladly
support any plan proposed by the Secre
tary of the Interior having this end In
view. However, in my opinion u
I a serious blow to the mineral development
of our State If another large amount of
public lands be withdrawn from public
. iitrv and there v produce a runner
shrinkage In our mineral production,
"One of the greatest benefits thut could
come to the agricultural Interests of
Colorado would be an enlargement of Its
mineral productive area, thereby giving us
an Increased imputation which will open
the market to our fanners.
"Doubtless there will be a pronounced
and definite protest." concluded Repre
sentative Seldomrldge, "made shortly by
citizens eif Colorado and ndj.iccnt States
when the proposed action of tin Secretary
of the Interior Is more generally known."
RADIUM FAILED TO SAVE HIM.

nflTU.o. Jan. 3. Dr. Frederick Hufch
died late to-day at the Gratwick Cancer
lloiplta'. where ho had been a patient
for three weeks. He wns conscious to the
end nm! bade his family farewell. He was
39 years old. and hnd devoted his profes
sional I'fe to the study and treatment of
cancer. Six weeks ngo he was operated
on by Dr. Howard A. Kelly of Johns
Hopkins I'nlveislty, tlm specialist using
radium, concerning the curative value's
of which Dr. Kelly Is a strong exponent.
Kor a time the administration of radium
seemed to have a wonderfully good effect
on Dr. Husch's general cemdltlon and his
rapid recovery was predicted.
In a few days, however, the effect
scemeel to have been rcersed. and tin
patient's condition bevame worse than be
ftire. A second operation slu.wed, It Is
said, that tho radium hud little or no
effect and hope for tho complete recovery
of Dr. Husch was practically given up.
Dr. Kelly was expected here to-day,
but worrt was received that h would bo
unnb'e to make the trip for nuother week.
The Gratwick hospital Is a State Insti

CANCER VICTIM RADIUM THIEF

The belief that the disk of radium
owned by Dr. William II. Dlclfcnb.ich ami
valued at $1,200 which has disappeared
from the Hahnemann Hospital was
stolen by or for a person suffering with
cancer was ndvnnccd yesterday by per
ilous making n search for tho rare metal.
Tho effectiveness of radium In treating
cancer hns been exploited widely In tho
Inst few weeks, and at tho same tlmo It
hns been shown that there Is not enough
of the metal now In tho hands of phy
slclnns for treating tho disease. Further
more tho metal la so expenslvo that poor
patients ennnot afford to pay for the
treatment.
It also Is thought that the radium
worth t.'i.OOO stolen from St. Luko's Hos
pital, Chicago, probably wns taken with
the name motive,
For a porson not versed In the qualities of
radium to handle tho metal Is regarded
as extremely dangerous. Tho metal care,
