rw curs ENTERED 10 ROAD RACE RESCUES SIX ANTARCTIC Government's Efforts for Peace in Mexico Intervention Useless WASHINGTON, August 27. President Wilson appeared in person before congress today and laid bare to the world the details of this nation's efforts to bring about peace in Mexico, the facts concerning Huerta's rejection of the peace proposals and the policy to be pursued by this government. The president announced the position of the United States to be as follows: No armed intervention. Strict neutrality, forbidding the exportation of arms or munitions of war of any kind from the United States to any part of the republic of Mexico. Under no circumstances "to be the partisans of either party to the contest that now distracts Mexico, or constitute ourselves the virt- ual umpire between them." To urge all Americans to leave Mexico at once and to assist them to get away in every way possible.

To let everyone in Mexico who assumes to exercise authority know that this government shall "vigilantly watch the fortunes of those Americans who cannot get away and shall hold those responsible for their suffering and losses to a definite Negotiations for the friendly mediation of the United States are open to resumption at any time on either the initiative of this government or of Mexico. Accompanying the president's address was the replj? of the Huerta government rejecting the American proposals. It was written by Foreign Minister Gam boa. The reply suggested the following alternative policy for the United States: Reception of a Mexican ambassador in Washington. That the United States send a new ambassador to Mexico without restraints.

Strict adherence to the neutrality laws and "see to', it that no material or monetary assistance is given to the rebels." Unconditional recognition of the Huerta government. The occasion had not been paralleled in more than a century. No other president since George Washington has appeared before congress on a foreign affair. The senate and house assembled in the house chamber, the senators filing in two by two. As the president mounted the platform where Speaker Clark and Vice President Marshall were waiting the big chamber was hushed.

Attired in a conventional frock coat suit, the president stood at the clerk's desk and read his address in the easy, conversational tone for which he is noted. Scarcely a sound interrupted. First pointing out that it was his duty to lay before congress all the facts concerning the relations of the United States with Mexico, the presi dent outlined what the United States has done as a friend and neighbor. The president declared that "we shall yet prove to the Mexican people that we know how to serve others without first thinking how we shall serve our selves."

Wilson said that as a friend this country coaH wait no longer for a solution of affairs in the sister republic. President Wilson read his instruct ions to John Lind.

WASHINGTON, Auguft 27. The reason for Provisional President Hu erta's refusal of the propositions sub mitted to him by John Lind, President Wilson's special envoy to Mexico, aro contained in a note from Foreign Min ister Gamboa, made a part of the ad dress the president read to congress today. After stating that the Mexican government has considered the advice transmitted throuerh Mr. Lind. the note says: "The imputation contained In the first paragraph of your instructions that no progress has been made toward es tablishing In the capitol of Mexico a government that may enjoy the respect and obedience "of the Mexican people is unfounded." Senor Gamboa declares that 18 of the 27 states of Mexico, the three terri tories and one federal district are un der the absolute control of the present government; he says that' the southern frontier is open and at peace; that the government has an army of 0,000 men in the field to insure com- p'ete peace.

"My government fails to understand, continues- the reply, "what the gov-. lea means by saying that it does not find itself in the same place with ref erence to the other nations of the earth concerning-what is happening and is likely to happen In Mexico.

HUERTA HORSE THIEF JUMPS 0000 Desperado Captured By Former Sheriff Again Free in Lassen County GETAWAY IS VERY SUDDEN Arrested After Years Of Effort On Part Of Cattlemen-Reward On Head "Juniper Jim," the horsethief and desperado captured in Lassen county about two weeks ago by former Sheriff C. P. Ferrell of Washoe county and W. Caughlin, son of another former sher iff, has jumped his bail, according to- ad vices from Susanville, and is again at liberty. "Juniper Jim" was released when he furnished cash bail of $600 and is said to have lost no time in getting1 out of that section of the country.

He was held in jail at Susanville for a few days after his arrest. Fqr the capture of "Juniper Jim" a reward of $2,000 was offered. $1,000 by Lassen county and $1,000 by the Cattle men's Protective association, an organization composed of cattlemen of Nevada and northern California. The reward was increased to $2,500 when Ferrel and Caughlin took the trail in search of the horsethief. Ferrel and Caughlin went into the wilds of Lassen county for the express purpose of capturing "Juniper Jjm." They posed as government surveyors and made their headquarters at "Juni per Jim's" camp.

Ferrel and Caughlin employed the desperado to carry several bogus packages addressed to fictitious government to fhe nearest postoffice. and a surveyor's outfit' thoroughly dispelled any suspicion the suspect -might have entertained as to their being officers of the, law. "Juniper Jim" was arrested after he had roped" and killed a steer- belonging to another cattleman. The, desperado is one of the most notorious and troublesome characters of northern Washoe county and northern California. For the last several years a reward has been placed on his head and every possible effort made to accomplish his capture.

Ferrel and Caughlin spent several weeks, in the northern country before they were successful. They have not received the reward offered for his arrest. no Washout Delay Prevents Early Performance And Delays Young America of Reno was disap pointed this morning on waking up early and traveling post haste to the railway station to find that the circus train had been obleged to wait at Col- had not yet arrived.

The train did not get in to Reno until 11 o'clock and was not unloaded until after noon.

Through the delay thus occasioned the parade scheduled for this morning was prevented. Plans for holding it this afternoon were made, however. Shortly after 2 o'clock E. L. Heinz, manager of the circus, secured the re quired county license for an exhibition at 8:15 o'clock tonight and the- city license for a street parade, which was planned for 3:30 o'clock.

Mr: Heinz said J.oday that three days this week have been lost owing to traffic conditions, the train being behind wrecks twice and being delayed today by the blockade of passenger trains ensuing from the washouts in Nevada.

Mawson's expedi tion returned to it became known here today. The six men were beileved to have ample provisions to last them until the Antarctic spring, but the commander of a government steamer re cently sent to their relief reports that the explorers had exhausted all their supplies and tiad been living for-some time on the hearts and tongues of sea elephants. All of them were very. weak when the relief ship reached them. Dr.

Mawsons expedition was unfor tunate in losing by death two of its members owing to accidents on the ice Lieutenant Ninnis. an English army officer, and Dr. Xavier Mertz, a Swiss scientist.

B. president. general manager and principal stock holder in the Cortez Mining and Re duction company, operating a mine about 50 miles from Golconda in Mill canyon, arrived in Reno from the mine last night and speaks in very optlmis tic terms of the property. The 50-ton mill which has been in the course of construction for some time past will be completed in about two weeks and in a month will be in full operation.

Captain Menardi says the mine Is improving every day, the values increas ing and the ore bodies growing larger. The main ledge is from three to" 10 feet wide, but there are several smaller ledges on the estate all showing good values. In Captain Menardi's opinion the mine is destined to become a long and continuous producer. Work is now being prosecuted through a tunnel which taps the main ledge at a depth of 400 feet. The tun nel is 900 feet long.

A winze is being sunk from the 400-foot level and is at a depth of 80 feet. The quartz shows values in gold, sil ver and lead, but the gold recovery is inconsequential amounting to about $2 a ton. The average value of the ledge Is $50 a ton. Twenty-five men are being worked at the mine and on the mill construct ion work now. A night shift is work ing steadily in the tunnel.

Captain Menardi leaves tonight for San Francisco and will return direct to the mine some time next week. Dur ing the summer months his family has been living with him at the mine.

Other members of the cabinet had taken places on the1 floor. Every head in the chamber had been bowed and the solemnity of the occasion was impressive as the house chaplain, the Rev. Henry IX Coudon, in his opening prayer, said: Rule Thou in the hearts of our rulers and sway the minds of these, Thy servants, that as a nation we may move forward to all that is pure and noble until all the peoples of all the world shall recognize the purity pf our motives." Athough a deafening volley of ap plause rang out as the president ap peared, he plunged into the reading of his message without delay and with a bow of acknowledgement of the greet ing. As he finished reading another great roar of applause broke out. All those in the galleries stood while the presi dent left the chamber and started back to the White house.

The joint session at once dissolved, the house adjourned, and the senate filed back to its side of the capital. Thaw bowed three times like a stage star taking a curtain call before a sympathetic audience. His cheeks were his big brown eyes shone but he maintained his, composure. When 1 the New Yorkers and their Canadian lawyers got back tjieir breath they assembled in their hotel. Mr.

Jerome called reporters aside and dictated this statement: who represent here the state of New York are entirely unwilling to comment on the scene that occurred in one of his majesty's court today. The relations between the bar of the United States and the courts of the: Dominion of Canada are most friendly and cordial and we realize keenly the sense of humiliation experienced by our brethren in Canada who are assisting us. Mr. Jacobs, who is associaed with us, is present and we. would prefer not to say anything with reference to the occurrence of the morning." i.

During, the nwrning scene in the courtroom, men and women struggling forward over chairs and benches to shake Thaw's hand, swept aside court attendants and- uniformed dominion police and swarmed up to the judges' bench. But Thaw eluded them and slipped Into an ante-room used as press headquarters. Ten minutes later ne was on his way back to the jail. A great crowd on the courthouse steps cheered again as he descended. Judge Globensky, taking his seat at 3:10, denounced the forenoon outbreak as the "most disgraceful scene" he had ever witnessed.

He made his announce, ment first in French and then in Eng lish. i COURTROOM CROWD CHEERS AS THAW WINS BIG POINT Spectators At Sherbrooke Hearing Give Fugitive Slayer Wild Ovation When Judge Rujes In His Favor New York Barred From Proceedings SHERBROOKE, Quebec.

This was the decision of Superior Court Judge Globensky this afternoon, in granting the motion of discontinuance of a writ of habeas corpus. It was the second victory of the day for the Thaw forces, the court having ruled in the forenoon that Canadian counsel representing New York state could take no part in the proceedings at present. The decision, delivered in French, was received in silence by a packed courtroom. The court had previously warned spectators that a repetition of the forenoon's demonstration, when the New York lawyers were ruled out, would mean jail sentences for those making it. Thaw was taken back to jail almost immediately, while throngs that over-; flowed the courthouse lawn and ad jacent streets cheered wildly, The prisoner lifted his hat and acknowledged the demonstration.

New York state was ruled out of court here today in a dramatic preliminary skirmish with lawyers for Thaw Judge Globensky refused to entertain the objections of Hector Verret, representing New, York. This was greeted with a wild outburst of cheering by a thousand Canadian spectators. Thaw, rising, bowed in acknowledgement. "Hooray for the British flag! Hooray for Harry, shrieked men and women, standing on chairs, waving handkerchiefs, parasols and -hats..
