WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Without
reference to n committee, the senate
today unanimously agreed to the house
Joint resolution appropriating Imnuifll
ntely $100,000 for the relief and transpor
tation of American citizens from Mexico.
Senator Brlstow of Kansas, however,
did not grant his consent to the passage
of the resolution until he had criticised
the administration policy.
"I have had letters from several friends
In Mexico and talked with others, who
have left Mexico since the president Is
sued his warning for Americans to get
out of Mexico," sold Senator Ilrlstow,
"and they all say that the warning has
been very unfortunate. They tell mo that
It has made the lot of Americana In Mex
ico much harder than It" was before."

Ono hundred Americans, fugitives on
the Mexican desert between Torreon and
Saltlllo, harassed by bandit bands, ac
cording to unconfirmed reports, were not
mentioned In the oarly official dispatches
today and the State department had no
Information of them. Officials here were
Inclined to believe the Americans wero
in no grave danger. Agents of the con

that day to this, I've nover seen Mul
hall. That is the -way I served tho Na

Bryan Is said to havo disclosed that ho Is
much nettled by the ridicule heaped upon
him In connection with his chautauqua
lecturing. He took occasion there to

mountebank, a vaudevllllan, a peanut
secretary of state or that he has made a
travesty on diplomacy, and resents the
prominence given tho fact that ho gets
the first 20 taken in nt each stand.
Secretary Bryan said that he Is a much
maligned individual. He takes the stand
that he Is "an added attraction" on the
chautaqua circuit and objects strenuously
to being considered or pictured as an
acrobat, a Swiss yodeler or a member of
a vaudeville team. He objects strenu
ously to being cartooned on a stage be
tween two perfectly capable members of
J tho theatrical profession.

Schmidt's defense at his trial If ho
makes a real defense probably will be
Insanity, Alphonae Koolble, hla lawyer,
so announced after a long talk with
Bchmldt In tha Tombs.
"I shall move to have Father Schmidt's
case brought to trial at tha earliest mo
ment possible," said Mr, Koelble.
"If I then think he is insane I shall ask.
to have a commission appointed to deter
mine his mental status. If I think ho Is
sane, I will tell him that the only thing
to do Is to stand up llko a man and pay
the penalty,
"When I saw him today," he said: 'I
don't need your services. Let's not talk
about that now. Let's wait till God and
Abraham havo apoken. God and Abraham
will communicate with you and tell you
when, to come "to me. Don't do anything
till that time.' "
Mr. ICoelblo aald hla cllentw as fully
aware that he faced the electrlo chair.

cording to Schmidt's confession, he went
through a marriage ceremony with the
