That the new administration in Mex- 4co expects to use the methods of Por- Forio Diaz 80 far as is-possible in gov- erning the country was made evident todav in a_ conversation- Provisional President Huerta had with ihe news- parer men. President Huerta declared that mno matter what the cost would be nor who the men were who paid it. peace would be restored in Mexico. He said it was his ambition that when he left the presidency people would say of him: “He has restored order through- out Mexico, made safe the investment of money and rendered secure the Jives and interests of all, both foreign- ers and Mexicans.”™ Wants to Restore Order.

To these sections, he_said, he would send emissaries in an attempt to bring about order or, if necessary, troops would be despatched to them to inform. ‘the people of the government’s desires. “I want to restore to Mexico that un- interrupted current of Tiches which is her right,” the president continued,“and to bring about such conditions in the ®ountry that all the diplomats will feel that their nationals are secure.” Emissary to Hastile Governor. ‘The president declared that he fav- ed a free press in Mexico, sdying that en antagonistic organs were desir- ble, since from them the administra- ion might learn of evils that other- Wise might be hidden.

It is rumored that Governor Carran- zas of the state of Coahuila, is at the head of a movement to sStart a new republic and that efforts are being made to bring about the secession of several other states, On the night Madero was overthrown it was report- e@ that Governor Carranzas had or- dérea mobilization of troops at Pedras across the border. from Bagle Pass, Texas, but the purpose of the troop movement was not stated. The report that General Pascual Oronzo, Jr., was drowned last Septemoer in the Rio Grande river was denicd to- day by General Orozco's father. UNITED STATES ACTS. Insists That ex-President Madero Be Given a Fair Tri ‘Washington, Feb, 21—Intervention of the United Siates government to se- cure justice ,or at least a fair trial for fallen President Madero of Mexico as announced .by . Secretary Knox at ‘he cabinet meeting today, was an u: expected development of the state de- partment’s policy in regard to that republic. As. recently as yesterday it was announced taat there was no intention to depart from the policy of ention * in the Mexican It appears, however, that this itement was based n the nat) that the- newly hed i‘#fi Sovernment wou 1a observe the ame es of civilized war- re s nt of prisoners of “Jow -degree, and when Gustavo Madero gave ine appdehension for ex-president it was felt that the time had come to stretch forth a restraining hand. State Department Aided Diaz, The administration feels that it has not in any manner departed from its policy of strict neutrality. Its action was purely impersonal and probably would have followed as surely had General Diaz been: captured by Made- To and threatened with death without the process of law. The fact is, though not ‘officiaily admitted, that in an un- official manner, the state department did - bring to bear influences which saved Diaz from death, when he was captured by General Bedtran at Vera Cruz_last fall. It is believeq that the Mexican people themselves. after the heat of combat is over will be the first to -express gratitude to the United Stajes government for pre- venting the placing of such a spot up- en the on of their country as would follow what practically ‘would amount to the murder of a deposed Ppresident. Reverse of Johnson’s Action. It is recalled in some quarters that the action of the administralion in the case of Madero is precisely the Teverse of that taken 46 years ago, ‘when President Andrew Johnson re- fused to Intervene to prevent the shooting of the unfortunate emperor Maximillian, who was by a singular coincidence’ betrayed by the military leader, General Lopez, who was his main reliance, In thaf case, however, it 1s pointeq out that Maximillian was in Mexico greatly agalnst the will ‘of the United States and also that he was tried by a legal tribunal in the form of a court martial. Will Continue to be Prepared. While it is hoped that the Huerta government wifl be ‘able to draw to its support all of the revolutionary leaders the belief prevails that pr dnce dictates the continuance of mi tary and naval policy of preparedness. Pursuant to this the first and fifth brigades of the army remain under preparatory orders for foreign serv- ice and the three army transports ‘which are due to arrive in Galveston early next week will be retained there, ready to embark troops at a moment’s notice.

Mattewan State Hospital for the Crim- inal Insane, testified today before Gov ernor Sulzer's committee of inquiry that ke had been offered $20,000 if he The offer, he said, was made during the latter part of 1912 by a lawyver, whose name ‘heycould not remember, in an “uptown. Hotel”” in New York city and was refused. This testimony was developed dur- ing an investigation of reports that William F. Clarke, secretary of the committee, recently had requested Dr. Russell to release Thaw on the ground that such action was desired by Gov- ernor Sulzer. The governor himself had stateéd earlier in the day he had authorized no one to make such a re- quest. Chairman Also Approached. Dr. James V. May, chairman of the state hospital commission, who fol- Jowed" Dr. Russell to the stand, t.ld of having been approached by Clarke several days ago with the same re- guest. Dr. May said he told Clarke that the commission had no jurisdic tion over Thaw as the hospital which he is confined is under the pervision of the state prison depart- ment. Dr, May later told Governor Sulzer of the incident and the gover- nor at that time said he would not in- terfere in the Thaw case and had not authorized anyb6dy to say he would Clarke Denies- Making Statement. Clarke when sworn today, denied having told either Dr. Russell or Dr. May that the governor wanted Thaw released. He said, however, that he had visited Dr. Russell at Mattewan in the course of an investigation of report that the superintendent had re ceived $25,000 to free Stanford White's slayer. Dr. Russell's memory was hazy con- cerning the identity of the lawyer who offered him the bribe. The man": name, he said, had scaped him; he could not describe him except he ‘was . of “medium build” nor could he remember the name of the hotel where the incident occurred. He had met him_first-at White Plains la,sr, Summer ‘when the legal proceedings ' brought in- Thaw's behalf were In progress. The superintendent said he had no reason for concealing the man’s name and thought he could give the com- mittee the information later. Asked point blank whether he con- sidered Thaw insane, Dr. Russell re- fused to answer. Annoyed By Nagging of Clarke. Clarke declared Dr. Russell had re- marked to him that Thaw was “per- footly sane.” Dr. Russell told of a conversation he had had with ‘“Mr. Hoffman of Pough- keepsie, Mr. Thaw’s private detective,” in which the witness said he had been advised he. would be called to Albany soon.on the “Thaw matter” and that the “governor wanted Thaw out.” On Feb. 15, Dr. Russell said, he was called on the telephone from Albany by Dr. May, who said the governor had told him that the Thaw case would haveto take its regular course. The superin- tendent said that he had been thor- oughy annoyed by the nagging of Clarke. Thought Clarke Was in On It “Why didn’t you go to the gover- nor?’” asked the committee's counsel. “I wanted to see what would happen in this case,” replied Dr. Russell. “Were you trying to get something on the governor?” “No, but I wanted to see where this thing was going to lead. I didn’t think the governor was in it, but I did think this man Clarke was in it and was using the governor’s name.” Governor Sulzer said tonight he had ordered the committee to go to the bottom of the matter and spare mo- body. DENIED BY MRS. THAW. No Attempt at Bribery Made With the Family's Consent. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 21.—Mrs. Willlam Thaw, mother of Harry K.
