Hopes to End Mexican Troubles Peacefully REALIZES GRAVE OUTLOOK Executive for First Time Admits Intervention Is Possible United Slates He Insists Big Enough to Wfit Not to Be Stampeded by Foreign Pressure or Speeches in Congress Growing Sentiment for Drastic Policy Felt Carranias Defiance and Britains Tnture Course Danger Points PRESIDENT WILSONS BROADSIDE AGAINST THOSE ASKING INTERVENTION IN TOTTERING MEXICO Asked whether in view of the new developments a change of policy was intended by the United States immediately President Wilson yesterday pointed out that a country of the size and power of the United States could afford to wait just as long as it pleased that nobody doubted its power and nobody doubted that Huerta was eventually to retire that there need be no hesitation in forming the judgment that what the United States wished to accomplish in Mexico would be accomplished but that those people who were in haste to have things doxe were forgetting wiat they would have to do themselves that they would have to contribute brothers and sons and sweethearts to do it if they wanted something done right away If they are willing to wait the President indicated such a step might not be necessary The President was referring it was presumed to speeches in Congress demanding radical action of some kind or armed intervention which he seemed to deplore President Wilson is no longer convinced that armed Intervention In Mexico will Anally be avoided He is determined however that If it comes it will tie only after he has exhausted every effort to prevent it He believes that by watchful waiting the United States may avoid war This country in his opinion is strong enough to wait as long as it chooses Pressure from foreign governments Is not his greatest concern He recognizes as distinctly more powerful a growing public sentiment in this country in favor of an aggressive Mexican poller Admonition to tne Powers This is the attitude of the President as clearly set forth to callers at the White House yesterday It created a profound imprtsslon on those who listened It was evident that Mr Wilson intended his views to reach not only the American people ihjt Great Britain and other foreign governments which It is said in some Quarters are growing restive under his waiting policy But the outstanding fact is that for the first time President Wilson admitted that military intervention in Mexico may be a future possibility Always before In his conversations with public men he has refused to consider it however remotely President Realiies Gravity President Wlleon revealed that he fully realized the gravity of the situation resulting from the killing of William Benton a British subject the reported murder cf Gustav Bauch and Clements Vergar American citizens and Gen Carranza denial of the right of the TJnitsd States to look after the Interests of foreigners generally In Mexico Xhe President spoke with a firmness that showed his determination not to be stampeded into action by radical speeches In Congress but with a hint that when the necessity arose the American government could be expected to move decisively and effectively British Attitude Important Upon Great Britains attitude toward the Benton case depends largely the extent to which the United States will become involved Should England show an inclination to let the Benton case await i a finil adjudication at a time when a firm government is established in Mexico the Lnltjd btates will not fee called upon I to challenwu Gen Carranzas specific refusal to supply the Washington administration ttitli information about Bentons deat Hi presentations have been made to Gen Oarra iza it is understood through America Consul Simplch at Nogalea and on tneir outcome depends whether or no the expedition which had planned to go thlhuahua from Juarez Sunday to oxamlie Bentons body wili carry out its iiiun Te VHhinyon administration however is tcking it for granted that arrangements authorized by Gen Villa will be approved by Carranza We are waiting for the details to be completed said Secretary Bryan It was his only comment Realize Carranza Is Ruffled Administration offlciala realize that in not communicating flrst with Carranza they have offended his personal dignity Hud they hope to overcome this by consulting him now impressing upon the constitutionalist chief Incidentally that the American government does not think formalities ought to stand In the way of obtaining proper protection for foreigners Gen Carranzas declaration that foreign governments should address him about thn welfare of their subjects led to a visit to Secretary Bryan yesterday by Sir reel Sprins PJce the British Ambassador and Senor Riano the Spanish Ambassador Both Spain and Great Britain have recognized the Huerta government and have been looking to the United States to act for them in northern Mexico There is every indication that this course will be continued and it is clearly established that Carranzas ma neuver will not lead the British government lro any recognition or other dealings ih Mm Carranta May Cause Clash Presnt Wilson explained to callers that mtny foreign governments had desired ie United States to look after their subje out of course had no right to dema it and were not demanding it speaking Carranza might insist sht not to deal with one govern hc interests of another but such undoubtealy would produce implications with the United vernment upon whom the pow ic world have learned to look as iiiunt factor In pan American di BAUCH IS

of his enemies Villa said Bauch had many enemies and added Of course I cant be held to blame for that The opinion was expressed here today that the body of William Benton If It Is burled here will have been too long In the ground to disclose much to the commission which Is to examine It Why the body was brought so far from the border and when and how it was buried are subjects on which Villa refused to talk None of the foreign consuls had been able to learn the whereabouts of the grave Villa Display Indifferent The Pantheon de la Reglar where VMla says the body was interred Is about twor

revival of the Monroe doctrine was advocated by Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon chairman of the committee on military affairs In a warlike speech last evening at the banquet of the Second Army

Mexico and says to the rest of the world Hands off By what right does she do this By the right of the Monroe doctrine And we find that other nations respect that doctrine The property of citizens of other countries is being destroyed their lives taken and their women outraged but those countries do not call Mexico toac count They observe the tenets of that doctrine and look to this country So we must enforce it at the cannons mouth If need be Smoot for Bigger Navy Dont think for a moment declared Senator Smoot that there will be no more war for this country Dont think for a moment that universal peace has come It has not And I say to you that our country should be prepared for war If I should ever be extravagant with the nations funds It would be In using them for the establishment of a navy so strong that every American could feel absolutely safe The senator also advocated a larger standing army Speaking of the spirit of patriotism he said You may find the time coming soon when this spirit will have to be manifested by every one who loves hia country I am a man of peace I would that I knew that this country never would be Involved in war I am upholding the President in his

yesterday opens the way to a possible fine of 1406000000 against the steel trust if the government successfully prosecutes It for illegal rebating The commission yesterday began hearings under the Lane resolution which directed an Investigation to determine whether facts or evidence exist Justifying the government In proceeding against the steel trust for recovery of fines because of unlawful rebates Estimated at 10000000 a Year In its recent opinion lnthe Industrial railways case the commission said the amount paid by the railroads east of the Mississippi River to industrial plant lines waa estimated at 15000000 a year It has been estimated elsewhere that the steel trust does two thirds of the business and therefore gets 10000000 a year Commissioner Harlan ruled yesterday that the Lane resolution would be interpreted aa directing the commission to ascertain the amounts and dates of all payments amounting to rebates received by the steel trust in the last six years fine Three Times the Receipts A rough estimate of the total of such rebates 1 60000000 The interstate commerce act provides that a corporation found guilty of receiving rebates shall pay a fine amounting to three times the amount received This would be 18oCoOO 000 In the cat of the steel trust Evtde ce offered by Mf iMiViQ Norwegian Vessel Capsizes in North Sea and Only Six Escape Cuxhaven Germany March

Rudolfo Reyes Formerly Huertas Minister of Justice Taken to Hospital at Nantes France Practically the entire port side of the steamer Northumberland of the Maryland Delaware and Virginia Railway Line was demolished and the stern of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Companys steamer Newport News waa crushed In a peculiar accident yesterday morning shortly after 7 oclock in the lce lammed channel of the Potomac River opposite the War College No one was hurt All last night about 40 passengers of the Newport News were marooned on the vessel which was held fast by the ice and made unmanageable by the high winds Both her steam and hand steering gears were useless Rescue Ship Also lee Trapped The Northumberland became stuck In tljeice blow the 0kf Colleger rhp ji i3iX nreooat irfcngnirtras

yard was later sent out to free the Firefighter and succeeded The combined efforts of the government tug and the Firefighter soon began to move the Northumberland and she was pulled Into the channel At about the same time the Newport News commanded by Capt Joseph Smith left her dock here bound for Norfolk with about 50 passengers and a heavy cargo When she reached the War College the gale struck he stern causing it to swerve and disabling her rudder With her steering gear thus out of commission she began to drift ahead of the wind The Firefighter and the Northumberland had proceeded upstream the flre boat having passed the disabled steamer The Northumberland was direetly in the path of the swiftly drifting vessel Tore Seventy Foot Hole Masters of both vessels realizing their dangerous positions strove in vain to avoid a collision The Newport News rammed her stern into the port side of the steaming craft ripping a hole nearly 70 feet long Iron stays were twisted as though they were wire and great planks were shattered by the terrific Impact The stern of the Newport News crashed along the side of the Northumberland Finally free from the other ship the stern end of the Newport News was seen to be badly crushed and its steering gears demolished Proposals that railroads shall vnot be permitted to charge as much for short hauls as they charge for transporting freight longer distances is contained In an amendment to the Interstate commerce act Introduced yesterday by Senator Sha froth The amendment It Is claimed would not only revolutionize the present system of rate making and neutralize several Supreme Court decisions regarding the effect of water competition but It would In effect completely eliminate the payment of Panama Canal tolls as a Question affecting except in the most remote way competition between coast to coast water and rail carriers Under the long and shorthaul clause of the commerce actrailroads are prohib ited from charging a greater sum for a short haul than for a longer one except In such Instances aa the Interstate Commerce Commission may decide a violation of the general rule is reasonable Exceptions Are Very Numerous These exceptions are very numerous and while the long and short haul provi slon has eliminated many of the dlsr criminations which formerly existed the Interstate Commerce Commission under pain of being compelled to tear apart the entire fabric of the United States has approved hundreds of exceptions The Styafroth amendment proposes to stop all such exceptions Coastfto coast rates are now lower in all Instances in proportion to distance than rates to any intermediate interior point ITftJs has beentiuatlnlby the 1 Uta atriiiyt tuottta to jmeet water competition ana that the low Tate which seaports have are a natural advantage of which they should notbe deprived Involves the Panama Rates The Supreme Court has held that the Interior points by their geographical position are at a disadvantage which It is not the policy of the government or the courts to equalize This Involves the only question of competition which may possibly arise between the transcontinental railroads and water lines using the Panama Canal Railroads will meet water competition If they wish by lowering their coast to coast rates while the rates to Interior points will remain the same The whole volume of coast to coast traffic is so small in comparison with the whole freight business of the United States that unprofitable coast to coast rates could be made as they have teen in the past without greatly affecting the gross revenues of the railroads Shafroth to Press Amendment Senator Shafroths amendment would stop this practice as It would be necessary for railroads to make their coast to coast rates sufficiently high to permit them to scale down their Interior rates to a yet lower point Senator Shafroth indicated yesterday that he will press his amendment and will attempt to put it through despite the fact that it violates railroad tradition and files In the face of Supreme Court decisions which have controlled many of the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission EX CONSTJL LEFT
