SOUTH SIDE SQUARE INTERVENTION NOT INTENDED ‘Washington Authorities Declare War ~ Talk Without Adequate Basis, TO STRENGTHEN BORDER PATROL President Taft Opposes Sending Troops Across Border Except in Cases of Extreme Emergency. Washington, Sept. 11.—Talk of im- Pending intervention in Mexico anid the probable calling of an extra ses- sion of congress to consider the Mex- ican situation with a view to interven- tion was semi-officially declared to be without adequate basis, on the return here of the assistant secretary of state, Huntington Wilson, who has recently been in conference with President Taft. No official statement came from the assistant secretary regarding Mexi- can affairs, but it became known in an authoritative way that there has been no recent change in the attitude and purposes of the administration with | respect to Mexico. The president is | opposed to sending American troops across the border except by arrange- ment with the Madero government and then only in acute emergencies in- | volving the safety of Americans at .points close to the frontier where it is manifestly impossible for the regu- lar Mexican authorities to extend them timely protection. Troops May Cross. It is not impossible that ments of American troops may be compelled to cross the border in emergencies of the sort indicated, but if they do, it will be with either the |tacit or express consent of the Mexi- can authorities, and the expedition | will return to American soil as speed- ; ily as possible. There will ‘be no formal intervention at any time with- jout the consent of congress and while | \it is admitted by the officials here that |the latest advices from northern Mex- ‘ico show conditions fhere have be- | | come worse in the last two weeks, it |is not expected the situation will grow | | detach- so desperate that congress will have | to be called together to consider the advisability of sending an army across | the border. | To Use Diplomacy Only. Meanwhile, however, there will be jno relaxation in the military prepara- \tions intended to make the patrol of our border effective against incur- sions of Mexican revolutionists and |bandits, All available troops will be |sent there to such number as may be j required to protect the towns and ‘ranches to the north of the border line against loss of life and propeity {by raids from thé other side, | The pressure on both the Madero government and the responsible lead- er of the insurrection to protect the lives and property of Americans and | other foreigners will be steadily ap- plied through diplomatic channels. Both sides will be made to under- stand that they will be held to strict accountability for the acts of their adherents. 'PLAGUE OUTBREAK IN MISSOURI | Three Deaths From Meningitis Among Nodaway County Horses. Columbia, Mo., Sept. 11.—Meningitis among horses, which has killed 6,000 | horses jin Kansas, has broken out in | Missouri, according to reports just received here.

More than enough votes to elect had been pledged to Mr. Elvins before the meet; ing. The organization of the committee was completed by the election of William T. Findley of St. Louis as secretary and Thomas K. Neidring- haus of St. Louis as treasurer, No arrangements were made for the formal opening of the campaign. This will be arranged at a later meet- ing, either in Kansas City or St. Louis, Great interest was shown in the organization of the committee and the hall was crowded with people during the session, Convention Meets. The Republican convention met im- mediately after the committee ad- journed, Politte Elvins was tempo- rary chairman and W. T. Findley tem- porary seceretary. An effort was make to induce John C. McKinley to consent to be permanent chairman of the convention, but he declined on the score of being too busy as chairman of the committee on resolutions. There was only a brief session of the convention at night. A motion by uuncey Kruger to appoint an ad- visory committee in the campaign was adopted. This committee will be an- nounced in a few days. On motion of Col. Morse, Gov. Had- ley was invited to address the con- vention in the morning. The gover- nor will accept.

Erie, Pa., Sept. 11.—Twenty-five persons are reported injured, but no one killed, in a collision between a passenger train on the Nickel Plate and a switch engine at Wesleyville, near here. The reports of the wreck have been conflicting, but officials of the com- pany say no one was injured fatally. The wreck knocked down telegraph poles and made communication with the wreck difficult. Wrecking crews were sent from here and a hospital train made up to bring the injured to the local hos- pitals. The private car of A. W. Johnson, general manager, was at- tached to the wrecked train, but whether any of the occupants were injured is not known, Topeka, Sept. 11—No new out- breaks of the ‘horse disease were reported to J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary commissioner, to noon. He had telegrams from Hodgeman, Lane and Pawnee counties that no new cases had been reported to the state veterinarians and only a few deaths. It is possible the disease has been checked in some counties through the prompt action of the farmers in taking their horses off the pastures. Joplin Car Men Strike. Joplin, Mo.
