The so-called guessing contest of tho

by Assistant City Attorney dt-orge

case., that there Is arnpic law to pro?

was the most dantrerous they wore
ever called upon t<> subdue, and after
the ruling of Justice Gr?tchheid that
other offenders would be given tho

could bo stopped, that this method of

Right after the trial in Police Court,

Tho Police Department, which ban
oec-n required to work overtime in
view of the Mayor's refusal to act on
the lnw which the Assistant City At?
torney pointed out in open court, was
greatly relieved, as It was felt mat
men would take tho law In their own
hands if female members of their fam?
ilies were, insulted by the tough ele
1 juent. In the meantime members of
I Council declare that a law will be
passed on which Mayor Richardson
j may rely in the future.
I The .Mnyor's Statement.
I The Mayor gave this statement to
j the papers, yesterday morning:
"1 know of no law wh/eh will justify
the arrest of the manager of a news
paper for publishing a notice that th?
paper will give $100 to the person who
will identify a woman, acting as its':'
advertising agent, at a certain time j
and place, and under certain condi- j
tions; nor do I know of any law which j
will justify the arrest of a woman who
is acting as such agont and who la
not guilty of any disorderly conduct.
?'I do know, however, that this meth?
od of advertising may be, and believo
that it has been, taken advantage oi
by disorderly persons to annoy ladies
and that such persons are amenable
to arrest and punishment. To prevent
such disorder, and bring such persons
to punishment, I have bad four or five
conferences with the Chief of Police,
and have instructed him to have every
! available policeman at the point at
which this woman was expected to ap?
pear, to keen the streets clear, and
promptly to arrest any person who,of?
fered any indignity or annoyance to
any lady.
"At a conference with the Chief of
Police Saturday morning,. I was led
to believe that there would be no repe?
tition of these disorders, and was sur?
prised to hear of the occurrences Sat?
urday evening,
j "1 am now satisfied that in the in- j
tererr of peace and order this adver- j
tislng agent will be withdrawn from
the streets, and thai these disturb?

ed ?,If evolution."
"Washington, D. C, February' 13.?
! In the opinion of State Department of
] ttcials the revolutionary movement in
Mexico lias degenerated into a mere
guerrilla warfare, the so-called Insur?
rectos being hopelessly divided, with!
teach would-be leader acting on hla
j own initiative and without any com?
manding figure around whom they
may raly.
The main concern of the department
at present is that some of these ir?
responsible elements may fall into
ways of mischief and ho led into .in in?
fringement of the rights of American
citizens, which Is one explanation of
the gathering of a considerable num?
ber of United. States troops along tin
Western end <--f thp boundary line be?
tween California and Arizona on one
side and Mexico nn the other.
FlnVR Double Function.
These troops have a double func?
tion to perform. In the first place, if
the disorderly elements south of the
line attempt to work any harm to such
American interests as are involved
in the construction of tho dike which
ir. to govern the disposition of th*
waters of the Colorado Hiver. the
American troops may be sent across
to guard if. This, of course, would
ho done with the consent of the Mexi?
can government. The second function
of the troops Is to execute the neu?
trality law? probably in a manner that
has not yet occurred to the Insurrectos
Tills involves not. only the prevention
of the Organization oh American soil
of iiostile expeditions against Mexico,
but also the "internemont" of any of
the insurrectos who are driven across
the lino by the Mexican government
troops nnd seek to return to Mexico
to renew their campaign against the
government. While the. neutrality
.laws do not specifically mention this
"tntornemenl" as obligatory upon tha
United Slates, it is said at the State
Department that such an obligation
dors exist under tho International
rules of war. In brief these rules
require that a defeated army
or part of an army seeking re?
fuge within the territory of a neutral
power must he disarmed and detained
until the close of hostilities.
Regarding the quest Ion which bus
been raised as to the right of sympa?
thizers with the Insurrectos to send

M 'CALL BILL MAY
BE PASSED TO-DAY
- i
j
Republican Party Split Wide!
Open on Measure, Neither Reg- j
ulars nor Insurgents Work- j
ing in Harmony?Only
Nineteen Democrats Vote
in Opposition to It.
Washington, D. C February 13.?The
McCall bill, carrying into effect the
Canadian reciprocity agreement
rcachod the floor of the House to-day
and probably will be passed by that
body before adjournment to-morrow
night. Rven the opponents of the
measure admitted to-day that there
was no hope cf stopping it in l\U
House.
A test vote came to-day soon aftex
the House was called to order by
Speaker Cannon. Mr. MeCall moved
the immediate eonsideration of his bill
This was objected to ostensibly on the
ground that it was District of Columbia
day on th? calendar and that Important
matters of legislation affecting tho Dis?
trict were pending.
When the voting began, however, it
soon became apparent that, with com?
paratively few exceptions, the lines
were being tightly drawn between
those favoring and those opposing the
trade agreement. As finally corrected,
the vote to take up the hill was 197
to 120. The bill will be passed. It is
expected, by even a larger majority.
To-day 101 Republicans voted against
Immediate consideration. This mini
ber will show a decided diminution on
the final call. Sixty-three Republicans
voted for immediate consideration.
Few Democrat* Oppose It.
The Democratic vote was divided ?
13 1 In favor of immediate considera?
tion and nineteen against. Democratic
leaders say there will bo but six pi
(even votes against the passage of the
bill from their side.
No time for a vote was set to-day.
but to-morew Mr. MeCall will endeavor
to secure ah agreement to end general
lebate at f> o'clock and then to begin
*.he reading of the bill for amendment,
'.be House to remain in session until
the measure Is passed.
The test vote taken to-day nnd the
general debate that followed clearly
demonstrated the serious split fhat ex?
ists among the Republicans of the
House on reciprocity, it now appears
thnt a majority of the Republicans
will vote against the measure, although
the President is likely to get more sup?
port from that side of the chamber
than he first anticipated. T.Ike- the
Regulars, the Insurgent ranks also are
torn wide open, and, like the Regulars
again, a majority of them will vote
against the measure.
Some of the Republicans who spoke
to-day declared they saw in the reci?
procity agreement the beginning of the
end of protection. The Democrats ap?
plauded this vociferously.
The Republican spilt is accentuated
hy the fact thnt one member of that
party. Mr. MeCall, of Massachusetts; i.t
directing the debate in favor of the
.measure, and another Republican. Mr
Dalr.ell. of Pennsylvania, Is directing
the fight against it.
Representative Hill, of Connecticut,
opened the dehnte In favor of the bill,
and was the only Republican to ndvo'
rate It to-day. He was seconded by
Representatives Harrison, of New York,
and A. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylva?
nia. Democrats. Represent a five*
Gain es, of West Virginia: Martin, of
South Dakota, and Kendall, of Iowa,
nil Republicans, spoke against reciproc?
ity;
Some Reciprocity I'.xniu plea.
Mr. Hill declared that under reciproc?
ity, trade between this country and
Hawaii and Cuba flourished: that under
free trade with Porto Rico, our trade
with that Island Increased nearly fif?
teen-fold: that under reciprocal rela?
tions with th? Philippine Islands, mu?
tual trade has grown TO per cent. In
less than a year. In all of these eas^s
the proposition to enter upon such
trade relations was met with prophecies
of dire disaster to some existing indua
try in this country, and in every case
the prophecy failed of fulfilment, the
new policy resulting in mutual advan?
tage.
Mr. Galncs complained that the reel
proeity measure'; had been "railroaded '
through with "Indecent haste."
Mr. Harrison, of New York, favoring
the measure, said the Democrats wer??
anxious to bare reciprocity. Tt would
show the; American farmer In a very
little while, he asserted, that protec?
tion had been of no benefit to him.
The farmer, he said, had fe.r years been
held In line for Republicanism through
false pretenses.
"And when he finds that protection
was a humbug in his ease." added Mr.
Harrison, "he will help us gel hetter
tariff schedules ns to other things."
Mr, Palmer, also favoring the bill,
characterized it as n belated acknowl?
edgment of the disappointment ihe
country fell over the Payne-A-ldrich

ON ERRAND OF PEACE

Thomas C. Dawson, who will act as the
American delegate to the peace con?
ference in Honduras between repre?
sentatives of President Davllla and
General Ronllla, left Washington to?
night on hid way to execute his mis?
sion in the Central American republic.
He will sail from New Orleans Wed?
nesday for Puerto Rarriop. Guatemala,
where he will he met by the American
gunboat Tacorha and taken to Puerto
Cortoz;
j Details of the instructions given to
Mr. Dawson by the ^tate Department
lore withheld for the present, but it is
known that his purpose is to reconcile
the conflicting factions in Honduras
upon the basis of a plan to allow the]
people of the republic an opportunity1
to express their preferences absolutely
without duress in the selection of .a
President and Congress. As a condi?
tion precedent, it probably will be nec- 1
, ess?ry for the factions to agree upon
j the assumption of executive power by
a third party, neither Davllla nor Ro?
nllla. who shall hold office until such
' lime r.s a general election enn be held
j and the successful candidate for the
I presidency inaugurated. Jt Is believed
j by the officials here that this can be
I done without any armed Intervention j
j on the part of the United Stales. With|
! that exception, the course to bo fol
j lowed would ho like that adopted in the
[ case of Cuba, where, through the good
I offices of the United States, the people
were insured a fair and free election.

( With Manuel Ronllla in control of the
! entire north coast of Honduras, the 1
revolutionists are prepared to carry
the tight into the Interior and to ad
vancc upon Tegucigalpa, the capital. In
the event the peace negotiations ini?
tiated by the Unite j States fail. An
armistice went into effect to-day, both !
sides agreeing to a complete suspeh- I
sion of hostilities until the conclusion !
of the conference to be held aboard |
I the United States gunboat Tacohin
J at this port upon the arrival of the
representatives of President Davlla and
j General Ronllla, president of the pro?
visional government.
As the situation stands, it appears
i that the tight at Celba two weeks ago.
j in which the revolutionists won n
! sweeping victory, was the decisive hat
It le of the war.
j Every native in Port Corte/, appears
; to be a "Ronlllaista." and every for?
eigner hero is a Bon 11 la sympathizer.
i Letters received here from the Interior
I towns stated that Davila's adherents
1 were, winning recruits to their cause
by informing ignorant natives that the
i present revolution really was an Amer
i lean Invasion, being part of r plot to
? turn over the country and its rich un

General Lee Christmas landed G^o
: .men from sloops and schooners yester?
day, and they marched triumphantly
up the only street in town, shouting

Tnft nnd CInrk ?'Partners.*'
Champ Clark", who had just left th?
House of Representatives, announced
in his address, amid loud applause,
that the test vote for immediate con?
sideration of the Canadian reciprocity
bill had been won by the administra?
tion. Turning to President Taft, hu
said laughingly:
"That's a document which the Presi?
dent and myself own in partnership.
Rut. speaking for myself, not for
President Til ft or any one else. I am
for reciprocity not only with Canada,
but with all Southern and Central
American republics. in fact. I'm in
favor of reciprocity with all nations
of the earth. My principle Is that hon?
est trade never hurt r-ny nation."
Mr. Clark's concluding statement,
that the Tan-American Union nnd Ths
Hague Tribunal were two Influences
which flnnll\ would put an end to war
among civilized nations, was enthual
astlcally received.
"The last Speaker and the next
Speaker and l." said President Taft,
who followed Mr. Clark, "have gotten
together on one plank of the platform;
we're both rather heavy men, nnd I
hope it'll support us. Tt's a great
pleasure to be with him in the promo?
tion of trade in one part of the world.

50 am I. hut that doesn't help much to?

vote for wise measures, but when it
comes to determine what measures
are wise, there's a difference. Tn an?
ticipation of his coming to he the head
of tho great popular branch of the
Legislature we have already gotten
together on the most important matter,
and I hope we can carry It through."
Mnhei YVnr Less l.lkely.
The President declared that the pro?
motion of commercial relations neces?
sarily brings about a closer political
and social relationship between na?
tions, and "makes less likely the hos?
tility and hard feeling that are. like?
ly to lead to war."
"1 have no doubt." added the Presi?
dent, "that as commercial relations be?
come wider and The Hague Tribunal's
purpose in precenting war become?
better understood, the union of all
the countries In this world can b?
done by an International union for the
purpose of maintaining peace."*
Secretary Knox emphasized the part
that American capital should play in
developing the resources of the Pnn
A merlon n countries.
"I/Ct me candidly confess," he said,
"that tn the past we have been too
ignorant of our Southern neighbors,
their vast undeveloped resources and
the measures they have been taking
to open themselves to the world. The
trade currents which flow between
the United States and its Uatln-Amerl
can neighbors shoiftrT be Norih and

in our development where our caplail

Secretary Knov declared that (h>3

steamship communication, railroad con.

ures of the Andes and in an Interna?
tional bank "which will keep the com?
