RADICAL ACTION IS CONTEMPLATED Neutrality Laws With Mexico May Be Repealed—Would Help Rebels PRESIDENT PLANS CONFERENCE Advisers To President Contend That Aid Should Not Be Given De- priving Arms and Supplys. ‘Washington, July 24.—Repeal of meutrality laws with Mexico, which now prevent the constitutionalists or ether Insurrectos from securing arms. or ammunition, is being seriously con- sidered by President Wilson and his advisers, it was learned on the highest authority. The president planned to call a con- ference of senate and house leaders to consider this drastic step in the Mexican situation. Representative Flood, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, and Senator Bacon, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, had appointments at the White House to discuss the Mexican situation. The effect of the annulment of the neutrality laws would put guns and smmunition in unlimited quantitios into the hands of those opposing the HMuerta government. The administration is reluctant to take this step because of the certainty of increased bloodshed and strife. But close advisers are urging such ac- tlon in a spirit of fair play. They contend that by making munf- tions of war contraband this govern- ment is defeating the very principle of the neutrality law; that by depriv- ing the constitutionalists of oppor- tunity to secure supplies they are virtually aiding Huerta. Present Position Inconsistent. If this government is not to recog- nize the Huerta administration, in all fairness, it is claimed, aid should not be given him by depriving his foes of arms and ammunition. There is now in force a neutrality pact with Mexico entered into under the last administration which prohib- its the importation of war materiat into the republic. President Taft also issued a neutrality proclamation un- der which many cartridges for Mex- ican Insurgents were seized. Repeal of the proclamation can be effected by executive order, but an- nulment of the neutrality laws af- fecting Mexico would require action by both the senate and house. Complaints from Americans in Mex- ico of personal outrage and property damage are flooding the state depart- ment. One was presented by Repre- sentative Kahn of California on behal? of Californians owning large planta- tions at Mercedes, in Tobasco prov- ince. The Californians declare that their loss was $225,000, that several towns had been sacked, their plantation buildings burned and lgborers driven off. Americans at the ranches barely escaped with their lives. FAIL TO AGREE ON RATES Waestern Passenger Agents in Confer- ence at Chicago. Chicago, July 24.—General passen- ger agents and counsel of Western and Southwestern railroads who met in Chicago to revise interstate rates adjourned without reaching an agree- ment. Another meeting has been called by Eben E. McLeod, chairman of the Western Passenger assoclation for next week. The rate experts met for the pur- pose of changing the schedules to con- form to the 2-cent passenger fare de- cision recently handed down by the supreme court of the United States in favor of the state of Minnesota. “We were unable to come to any understanding,” said Chairman Me- Leod. “It is entirely probable that we Will have to confer almost daily from now until the time limit expires and it may be difficult to even complete the revision by that time. We realize, however, that it must be done Wy Wilson’s Candidate Wins. Sussex, N.
