State Department Hears That

WASHINGTON', July 24. Pres.
"Wilson has determined th.it no fac
tio nln the present Mexican revolution
shall obtain arms or ammunition
from the United 'States and that neu
trality must he observed In its strict
est sense. This was the interpreta
tion of the neutrality laws decided
upon by the president after confer
ences with Sen. Bacon and Rep.
Flood, chairman of the two congres
sional committees on foreign relations.
While the Mexican rebels have been
fretting no arms heretofore, Wednes
day's developments mean that the
Huerta administration will be de
prived of the privilege previously ac
corded the Madero government and
that the United States will treat all
hides alike In the present dispute.
The situation was precipe ited by
the repeated complaints of the con
stitutionalists and their sympathizers
in this country that if the United
States dil not virtually assist the
Huerta government by selling It mu
nitions of war. a termination of hos
tilities would be v-ossible.
Congress Favors Policy.
Sentiment in favor of a new policy
grew in congress to such extent that
Wednesday a canvass mwa& made of
the foreign relations committees in
both houses dealing with foreign rela
tions. It was found that there would
lie little objection to repealing the
joint resolution of March 14. 1912,
giving the president discretionary
"power to prohibit exportations of
arms or munitions of war to countries
where domestic violence existed brit
permitting him to allow the legally
constituted government of any coun
try to buy war supplies us usual.
Sen. Raron. however, reiterated as
he left the white house Wednesday
that the Huerta administration could
not be considered a legitimate sucees;
For of the Madero regime or a legally
constituted government.
The constitutionalist representa
tives here had protested to the state
department that Inasmuch as the
Huerta government had not been rec
ognized it ought not to obtain arms.
This construction of the case found
favor in olficial circles and while the
repeal of the resolution of March 14,
1012, was considered by administra
tion olllcials as one way of equalizing
conditions, it was decided that the,
Fame purpose could be observed by
denying ammunition to all fr.etions. '
Would Lift Embargo.
There is nevertheless a lirm feel
ing in congress in favor of lifting the
embargo on arms and giving both
hides an equal opportunity to equip
themselves. This sentiment finds
favor especially among those who
believe that the Carranza rebels have
public opinion behind them in Mex
ico and if given the arms with which
to supply their large unequipped
forces the revolution would end
speedily in their favor.
For the present, however, the ad
ministration will issue orders to its
agents everywhere to keep arms
from entering the rebellion torn coun
try. This will Interfere materially
with the plans of the Huerta forces
id nee orders for large supplies of arms
iind ammunition are said to have
been placed with Ilrms in the United
States very recently. Although the
r tnstitutlonallsts hold no seaports of
consequence, they have demoralized
the railroad s.vstems and it would be
difficult for the federals to get muni
tions transported into the Interior af
ter importing them from Kurope.
IIm,usos Situation.
The president canvassed other
phases v!" the Mexican situation with
Messrs. F.aeon and Flood who said
later that no action of any kind or
proii uncemcnt of policy was likely
until after Ambassador Wilson had
conferred with administration officials j
lure. Acting Secy. Roosevelt con
ferred at length on the situation, with
Hear Admiral Frank E. Beatty, com
mander of the fourth division of the
Atlantic licet, who has just returned
With his flagship, the Minnesota, from
n tour f duty in the Gulf of Mex
ico. Mr. Roosevelt said afterwards
that the conference was entirely in
formal and uno!!Vial: that he sought
to obtain f.rst hand, the Impressions
which Admiral Beatty gained while In
Mexico. Admiral Beatty is here on
leav to visit his family.
State departments reports Wednes
day said that the demonstration In
Mexico City Tuesday in compliment
to the new Japanese minister was at
tended by 2.CK0 persons nearly all of
whom were students. The laboring
das? was -aid to be conspicuous by
Its absence. It was stated that only
one anti-American speech was made
nrnl that the po!ic were under strict
crders immediately t suppress any
anti-American demonstration on the
part of the crowd.
It Is said that a movement Is on foot
in Mexico City to raise funds to de
fray the expense of transporting
destitute Americans from the capital
to Vera Cruz. For several weeks the
government and t'.'.c American Red
Cros have been bringing Indigent ref

1 THE
Was Anxious to Make Race Fori
Congress, According to the
Statements Made at Capital
Wednesday.
WASHINGTON. J"b 24. The sen
ate lobby committee put on full speed
ahead Wednesday and in an unusual
ly short session got into the record
nearly 300 letters of Martin M. Mul
hall, alleged political worker and leg
islative detective for the National As
sociation of Manufacturers. Mulhall
was on the stand only about an hour
after the noon recess, but in spite of
the short session, the committee made
rapid progress and members hoped
tonight to get through with the cor
respondence some time Friday.
The committee will decide then
whether attorneys for the association
shall be permitted to cross examine
the witness. From the way in which
Senators Reed and Walsh already
have referred to cross examination, it
is probable that the only way the
lawyers will be able to get at Mulhall
will be by questions filtered to him
through the senators.
Mulhall's testimony AVednesday cov
ered a slack period in the summer
and fall of 1909 and the early part
of 1910 when there was nothing to
do in his line except to work on
strikes, tinker at a few (Kid jobs in
politics and keep things generally
moving in Washington.
Tried to Sco Murphy.
In several letters Mulhall told of a
desire on his part to see Charles F.
Murphy, boss" of Tammany hall, in
the Interest of the candidacy of
George Cordon Battle for governor
of New York. Mulhall was trying to
see Murphy through Herman Black,
who appeared in the correspondence
as an attorney of 111 Broadway. Mul
hall swore that Black was a sort of
"confidential lawyer" to Murphy.
He said he never saw Murphy on
this matter and testified that Mr. Bat
tle was a man of the highest charac
ter and clean politically. A letter
t-lgned "Battle and Marshall" gaye the
only indication so far as . the commit
tee had gone tonight that Battle ever
heard of the interest Mulhall took in
him. It was a perfunctory acknowl
edgment that a letter from Mulhall
had been received.
Mulhall's .personal political aspira
tions came Into the proceedings Wed
nesday when several letters were read
in which he was spoken of by officers
of the association as being "mention
ed for congress" from the "fourth
district" (probably Maryland). James
W. Van Cleave, one time president of
the association, wished Mulhall well
in this matter and John Kirby, jr.,
wrote as follows:
"I see that somebody has been
buzzing a congressional bee around
your carcass. I suppose next will be
a humming bird. representing the
senate and then an eagle representing
the . presidential chair of the United
States."
Many of the letters today spoke of
an effort to land F. C. Schwedtmann.
secretary to Van Cleave, on the tariff
board. Several others told of public
documents otlicers wished Mulhall to
get including the report of the nation
al commission. Questioned by Sen.
Reed. Mulhall said the association was
interested in that report but he didn't
just know whit. He swore that
copies of the congressional record
were franked to most of the promi
nent members of the National Associ
ation of Manufacturers and in one
letter boasted that he and James A.
Emery, counsel for the National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers, could get
almost any such document and frank
it out.
Neither Senators Cummins nor Nel
son, republican members of the com
mittee, appeared Wednesday at the
hearing. Although neither would dis
cuss fho matter it is generally known
that they claim the democrats have
been playing politics with the investi
gation particularly in the rase of S.
W. VanClave. republican candidate
for congress In the sixth New Jersey
district, defeated in a special election
Tuesday. McClave was brought Into
the case a few days ago by Mulhall.
Sen. Nelson declared publicly the next
day that he didn't know the commit
tee "was being used for campaign
purposes", and Sen. Cummins has not
been present at any hearing since ex
cept for a few minutes.
CONCESSIONS MADE
BY EASTERN ROADS
Employes Stand on Original Demands
and Ieadhek Remains
Unbroken.
NEW YORK. July 2 4. KfTorts of
the federal mediators under the New
lands art to have the eastern railroads
and their SO, 000 trainmen and con
ductors reach an arbitration under
standing resulted Wednesday Jn con
cessions on the part of the roads, ac
cording to unofficial statements. The
concessions were not sufficient to sat
isfy the men, however, and the dead
lock remained unbroken.
The roads, it was learned, consent
ed to withdraw their demand that all
of their eight grievances against
their employes should be submitted to
arbitration along with the men's
wage, demands.
They were insistent however that
wine, at" least, of the demands be
taken up. The pesltion taken by the
roads was met with an unaltered atti
tude by the men who reiterated that
a strike was certain if the managers
insisted upon arbitration of questions
raised subsequent to the recent agree
ment to arbitrate the issues raised by
the men.

Public Service Commission
Draws Up Rules for Quality
and Quantity of Gas and
Electricity.
Standards for gas and electric ser
vice for towns and cities of Indiana
have been prescribed by the public
service commission and now are in fhe
hands of the printer.
The action is considered the most
important the commission has taken
as it affects both the public service
corporations and the consumers.
Kxperts will soon be appointed by
the commission to see that the pro
visions of the new rules are carried
out. Many complaints have been re
ceived by the commission that gas
sold in Indianapolis and other cities
was not up to standard.
The new rule provides that within
a one mile limit of a gas distributing
point the monthly total heating value
shall not be less than 600 British
thermal units. Another ruling pro
vides that when a consumer com
plains that his gas meter has not been
read correctly an inspector of the
commission -will read the meter, but
if it is found the reading was correct
the complainant s-hall pay two dol
lars. The new rules provide that all
meters shall be tested every three
.years and before beinff installed. It
is also provided that each company
must make frequent measurements of
the gas pressure and keep these on
tile.
All electric meters must be tested
once a year. Klectric companies also
will be forced to keep a record of ihe
testing of all meters and complaints.

HOI RULE AND
More Planks on Bull Moose City
Program . Made Public By
Candidate Landon.
Homo rule for cities, the application
of the merit system to the city civil
service, the strict regulation of public
service corporations and rigid en
forcemervt of liquor laws are the
salient features of the progressive
platform in the municipal campaign.
The platform "was made public
Thursday by Lewis C. Landon, who
Wednesday announced his candidacy
on the progressive ticket for the nom
ination for mayor. The declaration
of principles on which he will make
the race, however, is labelled the pro
gressive party platform and is taken
as an authoritative statement of the
position of the party members in this
city.
The platform follows:
The progressive party of the city
of South Bend, believing that political
parties exist to secure responsible I
parties
government and to execute the will of
the people in the city, as well as in
the state and nation, commits itself
to the task of placing the public wel
fare in the first place, and in particu
lar to the following:
First: To enforce all the laws, both
state and city, to the full extent of the
jurisdiction of the municipal oflicers.
Second: To rigidly enforce all laws
regulating and governing the sale of
intoxicating liquors.
Third: To appoint and use none
but honest and efficient men in all
departments of the city's service and
limited to the number needed to' prop
erly attend to the business affairs and
do the work of the city.
Fourth: To minutely enquire into
all the rights and privileges of public
service corporations owning or oper
ating under franchises heretofore
granted and to fully protect and en
force all the rights of the city and of
the people which have been reserved
to them in such grants.
Fifth: To use every mear.- legal
and moral, to compel such reduction
in the price of gas sold to the ctiy
and its inhabitants as will comply
with the provisions of the franchise
now in force, and which, it has been
estimated should not exceed seventy
five centa Per thusand feet; also to
secure such reduction of electric
lighting rates both to the city and pri
vate persons as will be fair and rea
sonable to the city and the consumers.
Sixth: To grant no new franchises
nor extend nor enlarge the old ones
without the payment of the full value
thereof to the people and with such
reservations as will full protect the
future interest of the city and its In
habitants. Seventh: To work for such neces
sary changes in our state constitution
as will establish home rule for cities,
with power to adopt their own char
ters and until this can be accomplish
ed, we shall favor a legislative act
that will grant to our cities and towns
the option of adopting a commission
form of government in place of re
maining under the present cities and
towns act.
Eighth: To use or power and influ
ence to secure and protect by proper
state laws, the application of th
merit system to the civil service of
the city, and the adoption of the fed
eral registration rules for the labor
service, S far as they shall be adapt
able to the city service.

Mrs. Young to
Quit Schools
Famous School Superintendent
at Chicago Reported to Be
Unwilling to Continue.
CHICAGO, July 2 4. Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, superintendent of the
Chicago public schools, Thursday
flatly refused either to confirm or
deny the rumor that she will resign
before the fall term of school opens.
It was persistently rumored Thurs
day on the board of education that
Mrs. Young would quit. The charge
made several weeks ago that ward
politicians were attempting to in
fluence her selection of school books
and there were evidences of friction
between Mrs. Young and some of the
board members named at that time.
Her friends declared Thursday that if
she contemplated resigning it was
because the strain pressed too heavily
upon her in her advancing years.
Mrs. Young succeeded E. G. Cooley
as superintendent of schools in 190 .
The action of the Chicago school
