Mahoney, the gray haired crank who attempted to assassinate Mayor Miteh- el and in so doing wounded Frank L. Polk, corporation counsgel, was ar- raigned in the Tombs police court on a charge of attempted murder in the first degree. ‘ » He was held in $25,000 bail for the action of the grand jury. When the amount of the bail was announced by Magistrate Simms, Mahoney smiled oroadiy and said: “Why ‘fiot Loost it a lLittle? more the merrier.” - Mr. Polk was resting quietly at the New York hospital. Surgeons expect ed he will recover rapidly‘if no com plications develop. He spent a com fortable night and seemed to be great- ly refreshed. Before his arrafgnment Mahoney was taken to police headquarters, where 250 detectives, all masked, looked him over. None of them was positive he ever had seen the man before. Mahoney was awakened at 8 a. m., after being allowed four' hours’ sleep. Until 4 o’clock in the morning he was Th: closeted with detectives, who put him} through a rigid “third degree.” He explained that when he bought the revolver he told the man who sold It to him in Jersey City that he “wanted to kill a rat” Schooner Lost; Crew Sa Gloucester, Mass., April 20.—The Gloucester fishing schooner Harmony, according to dispatches received here from St. Plerre, was driven ashore on the island and will be a total loss.

This state ment was issued at the White House: “General Huerta still is insisting upon doing something less than has been demanded and something less than would constitute an acknowl edgement that his representatives en- tirely were in the wrong in the in- dignities they have put upon the gov- ernment of the United States.” Secretary Bryan explained that the president’s statement meant Huerta would be obliged to guarantee the sa- Jute without qualification and that vhysical obstacles might defer its being actually fired by the time speci- fled. At the state department Secretary Zryan called a hurried conference with John Lind, the president's per- sonal representative in Mexico, who has just returned from an eight months’ stay in Huerta’s country and brought back first hand information. After a conference with Mr. Lind Mr. Bryan hurried back to the White House, where other cabinet officers had collected, and although with grave faces the officlals discussed .the de velopment confidently. No Further Temporizing. “The temporizing is ended,” sald one of the cabinet officers, who is personally cloge to Mr. Wilson. “We have the punch, we know it, and we are going to deliver it. Huerta has had his last chance.” While the text of Huerta's message and the president’s reply were not made public it became known that Huerta contended that all the of fenses for which the United States asks apology have been apologized for, and that “he demurs at anything further.” Discussing the . probabilities Sena- tor Simmons, one of the administra: tion leaders, said that the action of congress doubtless “would be similar to that taken before the war with Spain in Cuba, 2 “Congress undoubtedly would give the president plenary power to deal with Mexico as he saw fit to uphold the honor of this government,” said Benator Simmons. “It would adopt a general resolutlon broad in its terms, that would give the president a free hand. “Authority to uphold the nation’s honor and to afford protection to life and property, certainly would come within the authorization that con. gress would give. Congress would respond decisively and quickly if the president should flnd it necessary tol communicate to it in this matter.” Force Strong Enough. Officials pointed out that the naval forces at Vera Cruz and Tampico were sufficient to carry out the presi- dent’s plans without waiting for the arrival of Rear Admiral Badger's fleet. 3 The transport Hancock already has arrived at Tampico with 800 marines, the battleships Virginia, Connecticut and Minnesota and the cruisers Des Moines, Dolphin and San Francisco also are there. The scout cruiser Chester and the transport Buffalo also are at Tampico, with the collier Cyclops. 3 At Vera Cruz are the battleships Florida and Utah and the transport Prairie, the latter having a large com. plement of marines. Rear Admiral Mayo commands the ships at Tampico and Rear Admiral Fletcher commagis at Vera Cruz. When Rear Admiral Badger arrives ‘he will take supreme command. The flagship Arkansas, with the oth- er ships under Admiral Badger, will reach Tampico by Tuesday. Orders from Washington, however, putting the new fast ships under forced draught would bring them into Tampico on' Monday night prepared for action if President Wilson has te lay the situation before congress.

UNABLE TO HoLD 4 A WEEK J0B Lieutenant Goversior of Il- linois Lasts Three Days. WIFE DOES MUCH B_ETTER Investigator of Labor Conditions Told to “Beat It” by Foreman of Corset Factory in Connecticut Where He Had Secured Employment. Cleveland, April 20.—Barrett O’Hara, lleutenant governor of Illinois and chairman of the Illinois vice commis- sion, doesn’t know just how much he is worth as a workman, With his hands is less than $4 a week. However he has discovered that his wife is worth at least $4 a week as a worker. b Mr. O'Hara stopped in Cleveland to confer ‘with Mayor Newton D. Bak- er, who is interested in minimum wage problems. While discussing his errand here the Chicagoan confessed the humiliating truth of his working worth. Mr. O'Hara and his wife obtained jobs in Bridgeport, Conn., under as- Sumed names: “As 1 was interested in tlie minl- mum wage scale,” Mr. O'Hara said, “T decided to hunt for work in a corset factory in Bridgeport. I donned a blue flannel shirt and corduroy trous- ers_and my wife togged herself out in cheap clothes and we went to the city together, separating after we got there. Gets Job at $4 a Week. “I hustled around to the corset fac- tory, while my wife went to a knitting mill and asked for work. I was told there was nothing doing, but pleaded that T was starving and needed money to buy food. I was finally given a job in the shipping department at $4 a week. “My work was hard. T had to handle heavy packing boxes and at the end of the day I was all in. Final- 1y, on the third day, the foreman told me ‘to get my money and beat it’ I started to ask him why, but he was'a big man, and T considered it best to follow his instructions without ques- tion. “After losing my job I looked up my wife and found her busy with a $5 a week job and enjoying it. Se told me of some amusing adventures. She had half a dozen marriage offers in her threé days’ experience and jthe promise of a raise in pay., I have an idea what my maximum worth is as a laborer, but my minimum worth is still a matter of conjecture.” SMALL ARMY AFTER BANDITS Michigan Sheriff Now Has One Hun- dred Men in Posse.
