In Mexico.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Further de
mand for adoption of his resolution for
investigation of Mexican conditions by
the foreign relatons commltteo was made
today by Senator Clark of Wyoming.
Chairman Dacon asked that the resolu
tion be referred to his committee before
being acted on, but Senator Clark .ob
jected. "The administration has a policy, but
we don't know what It is," sold Mr.
Clark. "Now the president has sent his
third confidential representative to the
republic, but wo are left without Infor
mation why American lives are being
lost and American property destroyed.
1 soe.no reason for delaying action; there
can be an Investigation by this commit
tee as well as by the administration."
Senator Dacon said that conditions in
Mexico and between the two countries
were such that no hasty action should
be taken by the senate. "Because of the
Importance of this subject there Is no
higher duty resting on us than to ap
proach It with the utmost gravity and
consideration," he declared.
Senator Bacon declared that notwith
standing reports giving the Hucrta gov
ernment's formal announcement that It
would not receive John Llnd unless he
came with proper credentials and pre
pared to recognize the Huerta govern
ment, the senato should not act until
tome actual development had taken
place.
Xo Offlclnl Communication.
"There has been no communication re
ceived Vet by' the Mexican governmet
from the United Slates. Not until the
message lias been delivered and the Me
lean government has a chance to act on
It should we undertake to deal with the
situation.
"It is entirely possible that when Mr.
LInd gets to Mexico and delivers Mi
niessago there maybe. a .deferent repl
It is a known' fact that the president of
the United States has formulated a plan
with a view to restoring peace and that
an effort Is now being made to execute
It. In my Judgment a discussion of the
matter is not in the best Interest of the
public weal. The question will not be
settled In a day or a week, nnd I fear
It will take longer. There will be plenty
of time to discuss it. .
"The president has openly sent a per
slnal representative to Mexico to bring
about some Bort of a settlement, some
arrangement by which peaceful results
may be secured. It is our desire that
orderly government be restored in Mexico.
One way Is to attempt to do so by
peaceful means; the other is by the
strong arm, by force. Who will say that
the latter should not be the last to which
we should resort?"
Senator Dacon asked the necessity of
the senate acting until the president's
pntfnr hnrl Ivpn Tnnnrrl from IJa ffktrri '
to the report from Mexico that
would not be received and said:
Llnd
In n Moment of Temper.
"Here is a message sent by ono who
claims to be an official. It was Bent
evidently In a moment of temper. I ap
peal to the senators 'to consider whether
the personal representative of the presi
dent, appointed to do what he, himself,
would have the right to do for tho pur
pose of endeavoring to bring about a
result we all desire, should not be per
mitted to deliver his message. I ask you
to consider whether there. Is a condition
to require such haste that we cannot
permit this representative to deliver his
message and receive a reply.
' "When wo do receive a reply, then will
be the time for us to determine whatever
Is necessary to be done by the govern
ment, and whatever is necessary will be
lone.
"It is not proper to defeat the possi
bility of successful action by taking ac
tion now, when there is no urgency for
l.uch action."
The senator declared hasty action on
the Clark resolution would not help the
situation any Insofar as life or property
nap Imperiled. Such an investigation as
the senator from Wyoming proposed, ha
said, would take time and be of no effect
'n an emergency. .
Known In General Way,
Senator Bacon also said that the state
ments of Senator . Clark that conditions
In Mexico, or the actions of this gov
ernment were not known, were untrue.
Every detail was not known, he said,
but In a general way the conditions and
efforts of this government were known.

NEW YORK, Aug. -Contributions to
William Sutler's campaign fund while he ;
was a candidate for governor of New
York won thn nutiprt nf Innulrv tmlnv I
at the hands of the Joint legislative In- ,
vestlgatlng committee.
Having yesterday carried the war Into I
Wall street In an endeavor to show that
the governor had used funds unaccounted
for In his sworn statement In stock pec
ulation, counsel for the committee, it waj
expected, would continue this line of
questioning today. No list of wltne-jsa
to be called was given out.
Efforts to elicit from stock brokers yes
terday admissions that a "mysterious ac
count No. COO" was William Sulzer's were
met with refusals to answer. The com
mltteo directed such recalcitrant wit
nesses to remain under subpoena iml In
dications were that steps would be taken
to force them to testify.
Eugene L. Richards, counsel for the
committee, announced that no reply had
been received to Senator Frawley's let
ter sent yesterday to Governor Sulzer
inviting him to appear before the com
mittee. No Account with Sulser.
Philip Bozer of the stock brokerage
firm of Bozer, Griswold & Co., recently
dissolved, testified that Frederick J,. Col
well, who refused to say yesterday
whether he had recent business dealing)
with Governor Sulzer, gave him an order
some time last fall to buy 100 shares of
Big Four railroad stock for cash. Ho
said they did not have an account with
William Sulzer in his own name.
A check to the order of Governor Sul
zer, alleged to have been given htm for
campaign purposes, was deposited with
a Wall street stock exchange firm, ac
cording to testimony received.
The check was made for $500, made out
by John Lynn and endorsed by "William
Sulzer." From this same firm Uoyer,
Griswold & Co., Frederick I Col well,
said to have been acting for Governor
Sulzer In stock transactions, purchased
100 shares of Big Four stock, according
to testimony, some time during the last
state campaign.
Colwell refused yesterday to admit that
he acted for Governor Sulzer and refused
also to testify concerning other alleged
purchases of Big Four stock In other
brokerage concerns.
That Peter Doelger, a millionaire
brewer, contributed $2C0 to the Sulzer
campaign fund, which like some other
contributions was unreported by the gov
ernor In his sworn statement, was an
other feature of the day's testimony. ,

Their Editorials
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7. The native
newspapers tpday express loud praise of
Provisional Huerta's declaration that
John Llnd will be persona non grata In
Mexico.
The lndependlente declares that the pro
visional president's action constitute- Ir
reproachable logic.
The Imparcials says the declaration
will present to nations the attitude of
Mexico In the face of the menace of In
tervention by the American .government.
El Pals says; "The dignity and de
corum of Mexico are In firm hands.''
The note Issued by tho Mexican For
eign office late last night saying that
John Llnd would be persona non grata
unless he brought "credentials In duo
form together with recognition jf tho
government of Mexico," Is regarded -is
n. "rpnlv tn fcrfttnrx of State flrVftn's
'message of yesterday to the effect that
the government of Mexico should await
Washington's communication and not
give way to sensational misrepresenta
tion, although the Mexican note was pre
pared In advance of the receipt of Sec
retary Bryan's message. Tho exenanra
of communications was almost simultan
eous. Tho greatest interest Is shown on all
sides In the outcome of what is regarded
as a diplomatic crisis.

"f think It has boon going on more or
less continuously for tho last four or five
years," responded Mr. Borah.
VThese Judges are practically under
control of the department so, far as pro
motion nnd demotion Is concerned," said
Senator Borah. "They have been made
to know what the government desires In
enses nnd even what kind of a decision
me government desires. If we are going"
tc have a Judiciary subject to secret In
fluences, I am in favor of popular elec
tion and recall 0 Judges."

Senator Colt of Rhode Island declared
that In his thlrty-ono years' experience
on the federal bench In New England,
never hod an attempt been made by tho
Department of Justice to Influence tho
Judges. He knew, however, that special
agents had been sent to New England,
No final action was taken on tho at
torney general'c report.
"No Inspectors or other agents are ap
pointed by the attorney general or by
tho Department of Justice specifically to
Investlgato and report on the conduct or
proceedings of any of the courts or Judges
of the United States," said the attorney
general's report.
It stated, however, that a force Is em
ployed under authority of congress to In
vestigate subjects that It Is the duty of
the department to follow.
"To state with particularly what courts
and Judges have been under Investigation
within tho last five years by agents of
this department would, in my opinion,
be Incompatible with the public Interests,
The constitution provides tho president
shall take care that the laws be faithfully
executed. It Is Impossible for him to dis
charge this obligation unless the Judges
whom he appoints are faithful to the trust

Those Who Do
Not Advertise
Some men and some business
and professions still do not ad
vertise. We know of ono concern
so determined not to come out Into
the light, that It Issued circulars
to announce to the public that
"It Is now, nnd always has been,
the policy of this houso not to ad
vertise In any manner," etc., etc
They adyertlssd that they didn't
advertise!
The truth of the matter Is that
most every other up-to-doing bUB
Inevs around them did advertise,
and the compelling force ot mod
ern merchandising caused them,
In a lost stand against modem
methods, to advertise too the pub
lic that they didn't believe In ad
vertising! It was a last stand, however,
and the house now profits by a
clean-out policy of newspaper ad
vertising. Advertising Ih the chief force
in commercial life today and the
newspaper is the most potent und
mailt economical advertising medium.
