"Washington. — strong representa

Into power, were made to the Huerta
government in Mexico on Sunday.
The United States government de

■So serious were these Incidents re

overshadowed largely the policy which
the visit of Ambassador Wilson had
brought to a climax. The ambassador
bfnaself was so exercised over the de
velopments in Mexico that he dictat
ed two strong telegrams, one to the
embassy at Mexico City and the other
to the American cogsul at Juarez"and
while Secretary Bryan slightly modi
fied their tone, they were approved
and promptly dispatched.
Charles B. Dixon, Jr., the United
States Immigration inspector, who
was shot in the back at Juarez Satur
day by Mexican soldiers, was released
from the Juarez hospital and brought
to El Paso at 1 o'clock Sunday after
American Consul T. D. Edwards had
made a demand for his release and

MEDIATION IN MEXICO
ALL ROT, SAYS WILSON
May as Well Abandon Monroe Doc
trine 8hould We Consider Tri
partite Commission.
New York.—Pausing here for a half
day on Friday on his hurried Mexico
to-Washlngton trip In response to a
summons from President Wilson,
Henry Lane Wilson, American embas
sador to Mexico, announced his em
phatic opposition to serrai plans un
der consideration by the state de
partment for bringing about peace to
the troubled Mexican republic.
While declining to enter into an
extended discussion of any plans or
to offer any remedy of his own, Mr.
Wilson characterized the mediation
plan as "all rot." Mr. Wilson gave
his reasons why he considered the
Plan for a tripartite commission not
a feasible one.
"If we are to consider such a plan
we may as well abandon the Monroe
doctrine entirely," he said. "The
Monroe doctrine pledges the United
States to take care of the Interests
of the American governments without
the help of any foreign country. Con
sequently under the Monroe doctrine
we cannot attempt to settle Mexico's
affairs through the services of such a
body as the proposed tripartite com
mission, since It involves calling in
outside governments to help."

The Turkish troops who first ad

ders. The Turkish troops and their
regulars who followed, however,
worked their will on the Christians of
Malgara and eighteen villages In the

The Turkish government, realizing
the need of the good opinion of the
European powers at this time, issued
strict orders to all officers to avoid
reprisals by their troops, but they
are unable to restrain the men, who
were inflamed by the stories of Bul
garian savagery upon Musselinen.

I
Portland. Ore.—Dissolution of the
alleged telephone monopoly on the
Pacific coast by the American Tele
phone & Telegraph company—the so
called Bell telephone trust—is sought
by Attorney General McReynolds In
the civil anti-trust suit filed here
Thursday. The government charges
the giant corporation and Its subsidi
aries with absorbing Independent
telephone companies to destroy com
petition and create a monopoly in
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho, in violation of the Serman law.
This Is the first attempt ever made
to apply the federal anti-trust statute
to the telephone situation. Telephone
companies have claimed that the
telephone, like the railroad, is a na
tural monopoly and that a single sys
tem is conducive to the best Inter

of justice contends that it Is a ques

Ancon, C. Z.—All the world gives to
Col. W. C. Oorgas, chief sanitary ofll
cer, and his assistants full credit for
the wonderful work they have accom
plished in making the Panama canal
zone healthful and keeping it so. All
the world that knows gives equal r
greater credit to those American, Ital
ian and English doctors and soldiers
who sacrificed their health and In
some cases their lives to prove that
yellow fever and malaria, the two ter
rors of tropic America, are transmit
ted by the bite of mosquitoes. It is
not my intention to tell over again
the latter story. The devotion of
those brave men actually made pos
sible the building of the Panama
canal, for their work ' has been tak
en full advantage of by Colonel Gor
gas and his forces, and the zone Is
now oqe of the most healthful places
In the world.
Before the coming of the Amer
icans the isthmus was a veritable pest
hole. The French canal builders and
their workmen and the laborers on
the Panama railway died like flies,
usually of maliria or yellow fever.
Today a fatal case of malaria Is a
rarity, the more malignant form being
almost unknown, and not a single case
of yellow fever has originated In the
zone In several years.
The Stegomyia mosquito, the yellow
fever bearer, has not been exceed
ingly hard to exterminate because It
breeds and lives only near human
habitations,
had substituted a regular water sys
tem and underground sewers for the
rain water barrels and the open
ditches In Colon, Panama and the
other towns, and bad fumigated all
the dwellings, Stegomyia was prac
tically extinct. That Job of fumlgat

lng, by the way, raised a great row
among the Ignorant inhabitants of
Panama. They could not understand
why 'they should be all moved out
Into the street and their, houses filled
with evil-smelling fumes, and they
were inclined to offer forcible re
sistance until the zone police took
the matter in hand.
Much more difficult has been the
task of eradicating malaria, for the
Anopheline mosquito, which makes a
specialty of carrying this disease, is
widespread and of several varieties.
It Is the female only that bites, and
she needs blood—preferably red
blood—for the development of her
eggs. The eggs are deposited In a
slow moving or stationary water and
hatch out into little larvae or "wrig
glers." At least once In two minutes
the larva must come to the surface
to breathe, and that Is where the san
itary department gets it, usually.
As one, wanders about the jone he
sees at the headwaters of every
stream, ditch or other water course,
at frequent Intervals along Its banks,
and at the edge of every pool, a big
tin can or a keg. From this recep
tacle there Is a constant drip, drip,
drip of larvacide, a black, olly-looking
compound of crude carbolic acid,
caustic soda and resin. This spreads
but over the. water, an iridescent
film, and when little Anopheline
larva comes up for air he meets a
swift death. To replenish these cans
of larvacide a small army of Jamai
cans Is kept traveling about the zone,
and others go around with tanks of
the compound strapped on their
backs, spraying every pool they come
to.
Another measure of extermination
has been the draining and filling In of
swampy ground and the straightening
and clearing of water courses so that
their flow will be too swift for Mad
ame Anopheline. The work of drain
ing and filling has been extensive and
near the Pacific end of the canal has
resulted In the reclamation of large
tracts of land for building sites.
Th<^ third part of the anti-mosquito
campaign is the careful screening of
buildtngs occupied by human beings.
Ordinary mosquito netting would not
do and only copper wire will stand
the climate there. Consequently a
fine meBhed copper screening is used.
If any Anophellnea escape the larva
side and succeed In gaining entrance
te s habltatiön, the mosquito killers
are summoned and seldom fail to get
them. Nine days mnst elapse after a
mosquito has bitten a malarious per
son before it becomes Infectious, and
this gives the mosquito brigade plenty
st time to kill the Insects while they
we asleep on the walls. The isola
tion of infected persons In the hos
pitals helps a lot, for of course the
mosquito cannot carry malaria until
it has bitten a malarious person.
Rats, that carry the bubonic plague,
and flies, that transmit various other
diseases, have received adequate at
tention from the sanitary depart
ment, and dumb brutes are not neg
lected. As an Instance of the latter
fact, every horse and "mule In the
zone must lie placed at night In one
of a series of corrals established by
the department and there it is fed
and cared for, the owner paying a
reasonable fixed charge for the serv
ice. These animals, if left out, often
are attacked by a disease that is in
fectious and may be transmitted to
hnman beings. Besides that, the na
tive cannot be persuaded to keep his
Btable in sanitary condition.
Many other sanitary regulations
are imposed on the people of the
isthmus. All garbage must be de
posited In receptacles to be collected
by the department's wagons and
burned in its crematories. Chickens
may not be kept within a certain dl»
tance of any dwelling. Rain water
may not be gathered and kept in
open receptacles. That last rule la
not easy to enforce, for the Panaman
ian prefers rain water for drinking
purposes. But all these are for the
general good, and the United Statea
has the treaty right to attend to the
sanitation of Panama and Colon as
well as of the zone.
In addition to the two great hos
pitals at Ancon and Colon, the depart
ment of sanitation maintains a dis
pensary with physician and nurse al
every town along the route of the
canal and at Porto Bello, where the
commission has a big stone quarry.
The larger hospital, on Ancon hill,
close to Pan
year had about 900 patients. Its
wards and the residences of the
physicians and nurses are scattered
picturesquely though rather Incon
veniently on the east and north
slopes of the beautiful hill, and the
grounds are filled with magnificent
trees and lovely flowering vines and
bushes. A little further around the
hill Is the hospital for the Insane,
and It, too, 1 b well filled, for the Ja
maican and Barbadian negroes go
crazy at the slightest provocation.
In Colon, stretching along the sea
shore in the only pretty part of that
flat city, Is the other hospital, smaller
but no less efficient and well manned
than that at Ancon. Its grounds are
swept continually by the refreshing
winds from the Atlantic and many ol
its wards are built out over the wa
ter. Both hospitals are served by
corps of physicians and surgeons,
mostly-rather young, but able, ambi
tious and studious. Among them are
a number <3f army and navy surgeons.
These men are acquiring Invaluable
experience and not a few of them
have been called away to positions ol
great responsibility and high remun
eration.
One mighty good thing the French
company did was to establish a sani
tarium on Taboga Island, and -the
Americans, recognizing Its value
promptly reopened It for the benefit
of white convalescents. These may
remain on the pretty island for twe
weeks, paying $2 a day for room,
board and medical attention.
Taboga lies twelve miles due south
of Panama and Is as attractive a trop
leal Isle as one will often see. Its
curving white beaches in little bays
are ideal bathing places; Its lofty
hills, clad with dense vegetation, af
ford occupation for the climber, an^
the small fiBhing village of Taboga is
ancient and not uninteresting. Gor
geous birds and flowqpB and luscious
fruits are everywhere. Nothing mors
perfectly beautiful can be Imagined
than an evening on the grassy slopes
of the sanitarium grounds. A myriad
stars glitter overhead, the Southern
Cross and Canopus swinging above
the southern horizon. In the forest
night birds sing and a' variety of tree
locust sends forth a dear, musical
note that can be heard a mile. In the
little public square of the village the
native women and children are laugh
ing and singing as the men set forth
on all-night fishing trips. And off tc
the north, this side of the glow ol
Panama, wink the light buoys of the
canal's sea channel.
If In later years Taboga does not
become a favorite winter resort for
wealthy Americans, I shall miss my
guess.

Washington. — Ambassador Henry

President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
Monday,' submitting chiefly a rec
ommendation that the United States

least none was announced, but it be
came known that the president's ideas
and those of Ambassador Wilson as to
the course to be pursued are so radi
cally different that the administration
officials interpreted the day's develop
ments as forecasting the acceptance of
Ambassador Wïlson s resignation.
president Wilson and the ambassa
dor looked on the future Mexican sit
uation, It was learned, from opposite
viewpoint. The president is concerned
over the morality of any policy adopt
ed by the United States and the effeot
on other Latin American countries and
is disinclined to strengthen a govern- f
ment that came into power through
the questionable events incident to
Miadero's assassination.
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situa
tfon, not from past events, but with
the practical idea of the future. He
believes it Is the business of govern
ments to look to the future and his
suggestions have been in the direction
of extending recognition to the Huerta
government if It did certain things to
