Mr Taft la announce! he will do rr. th'ng possible to maintain the frlendle r lat ons existing Mnwii tMs country and Mexlio. Any rupture must come hi the result of some overt act on th of the Mex.rsi.

The tlmitaii-ins upon the povr.r of the president to commit an act that mifclit be Interpreted as an act of war. are ro well ,detinid that Mr. Taft has been amused at many of the reporta as to what he proi-jsed to do with army after U mobilized. Tlw president felt thai it waa hla duty as cuiaunaBdrr.

Presi dent Taft has determined that this gov ernment shall fulful its International ob ligations in st"Ping the smuggling of arms and ammunitions across the border. Ths enforcement of the neutrality laws called for the pres-ence of many additional troops and was One. of the csukcs of the recent army movements. Mexico has made no protest against the presence of troops in Texas. Such a pro tet would be tecarded aa undiplomatic. Inasmuch as the troops are on American soil and must remain en American soil until congress shall otherwise direct. President Taft repeatedly has assured the Mexican ambassador. Mr de la Barra. that the Mexican government need feel no alarm over the movement of the troops, he haa sent the same assurances to Mexico City.

"The decent way In which settlers are treated by the Canadian government, the courtesy shown them and the assistance they are given is tn a large measure re sponsible for people going to Canada and the negligent policy of congress toward western development in this Is helping more to go from this country." waa a statement made In the meeting to which every member agreed.

R. 1. giving the State Hoard of Public Ind and Buildings the right to choose a site for a new agricultural institution, which shall have an appropriation of t10 0r. The board la generally understood to be disposed to locate the school at Hold rege. which is well Into the southwest part of the state, although opponents of the bill have argued that It Is In a farming region very similar to thst at Lincoln and not at all in the dry farming part of the state, that Is said to need Its own school. Granting of the appropriation was a democratic platform pledge put In the plat form by ex-Governor Shallenberger and It has been actively supported by him. More Criticism of Ralldlaas. The manner In which state buildings have been constructed and the competency of. the State Board of Public Ijinds and Buildings and the state architect was ques tioned again In the house when the com mittees on lands and buildings made Its report. The document, which was expected yesterday, made the same accusationa of unnecessary delay and poor planning that have been made by the asylum committee and the similar committee of the senate. The School for the Deaf at Omaha comes in for a large share of the fault finding. Fifty thousond dollars was appropriated for this building In litOB, and It Is not yet finished. It was originally designed as a dormitory, but has been converted into an auditorium, and the dormitory facilities sre very unsatisfactory. The administration of Superintendent Manuel of the Kearney Industrial school was criticised severely by the lands and buildings committee. but the "other sylums" committee, which handed In a report later In the afternoon, found that he has beer Judiciously expending his funds and managing ths institution JO. satisfactory and rompeient manner. The committee on public lands demands an explanation from the State Board of Public Works of hte policy of paying for a building befope it Is finished. This Is said to have taken place In the case of a new building at the Norfolk asylum. Commission Form Considered. The bill for a commission form of gov ernment. Introduced by Banning of Cass, was taken up In the aenale this afternoon and the amendments made to the house bill by the house agreed to In Important particulars. The bill was not disposed of, however, and the committee of the whole will consider it again tomorrow. The bill Is the same' as the Metiger bill In the house and is the one supported by the Omaha Ad club. Senator Bklles has an other commission form of government bill and for that reason has offered some op position to this bill, but It w-ill probably go through the senate at the last hearing without much trouble. Banning seems to hare the solid republican vote lined tip for It, togethe- with Ollis. Lee, Bodlnson and his own vote from the democrats. Seiator Reagan of Douglas tried to get consideration of It postponed, but waa voted down. Bill Governor red Not Sign.
