NORWICH, CONN., PRICE TWO CENT: NO ARMS FR Huerta Administration to OM THE UNITED STATES],, be Deprived of Privilege Extended to Madero ‘Government PRESIDENT TO ENFORCE STRICT NEUTRALITY Point Raised That Huerta Regime is Not a Legally Consti- tuted Government—This Attitude Will Handicap Federal | Cause Which Has Depended Largely Upon American Arms and Ammunition—Attack on U. S. Senators Washington, July 23—President Wil- son has determined that no faction in the present Mexican revolution shall obtain arms or ammunition from the United States and that neutrality must be observed in its strictest sense This was the interpretation of the neutral- ity laws decided upon by the presi- dent today aftter conferences with Senator Bacon and Representative Flood. chairmen of the two congres- sional committees on foreign relations. While the Mexican rebels have been geiting no arms heretofore, today's developments mean that the Huerta administration will be deprived of the privilege previously accorded the Madero government and that the United States will treat all stdes alike in the present dispute. Huerta Regime Not Legitimate Gov- ernment. The situation was precipitated by the repeated complaints of the con- stitutionalists and their sympathizers in this country that if the TUnited States did not virtually assist the Hu- erta government by selling it muni- tions of war, termination of hostilities would be possible. Sentiment in favor of a new policy grew in congress to such an extent that today a canvass was made of the” foreign relations committees in both houses. It was found that there would be little ob- jection to repealing the joint resolu- tion of March 14, 1912, giving the pres- tdent diseretionary power to prohibit exportations of arms or munitions of war to countries where domestic vio- lence existed, but permitting him te allow the legally consatituted govern- ment of any country to buy war sup- plies as usual. Benator Bacon, how- ever, retiterated that the Huerta ad- ministration could not be considered a legitimate succeszor of the Madero regime or a legally conmstituted gov- ernment. Sentiment For Entire Removal of Em- bargo. The constitutionalist representatives here had protested to the state de- | forenoon Captain Luis Fuentes,\ the president’s alde-de-camp. Manuel Calero, tformer Mexican am- bassador at Watshington, expresed the belief today that any act whatever of intervention would precipitate war. He continued: “I know by personal experience the sound judgment of the American sen- ate, I do not think they would act in such an unjustifiable way as to bring about war between the two countries. “We Mexicans believe that any step taken to intervene in our internal af- fairg will cause war. Neither Ameri- cans nor Mexicans want war which is absolutely unnecessary. “I still have hope that we will be able to settle our difficulties. It is only necessary to have a little pa- tience. “I cannot believe the United States will be forced into taking steps not sanctioned by justice and international law.” QUESTION RAISED AS TO CONNELLY’'S RESIDENCE New Development in Fight for Inter- nal Revenue Collectorship. Bridgeport, Conn., July 23.—The Bridgeport Telegram, in a dispatch from its Washington correspondent, to- morrow will tell of a new development in the fight for the appointment to the collectorship of internal revenue in the state. The question has been raised as to whether Miles Connelly, Congreseman Kennedy's candidate, is a resodent of ‘Waterbury, or of this state. The Wa- terbury directory In the library of congress shows Connelly as having removed to Hartford and the Hart- ford directory doesn’t contain his name. Connelly's business is such, Waterbury men say. that he is compelled to make his headquarters in Boston and that city is practically his home. The pol- ocy of the administration is to have appointeeg to federal offices bona fide partment that inasmuch as the Hu- erta government had not been recog- nized it ought not to obtain arms. There is nevertheless a firm feeling in congress in favor of lifting the em- bargo on arms and giving both sides an equal opportunity to equip them- melves. This sentiment finds favor es- pecially among those who believe that the Carranza Tebels have public opinion behind them in Mexico and if given the arms, the revolution would end speedily in their favor. Will Handicap Huerta. For the present, however, the ad- ministration will issue orders to its agents everywhere to keep arms from entering the rebellion torn country. This will interfere materially with the plans of the Huerta forces, since or- ders for large supplies of arms and ammunition are said to have been placed with firms in the United States quite recently. Although the constitutionalists hold no seaports of consequence, they have demoralized the railroad systems and it would be difficuit for the federals to get mu- nftions transported into the interior after importing them from Kurope. The Mexico City Demonstration. Acting Secretary Roosevelt confer- red at-length on the situation with Rear Admiral Frank E. Beatty, com- mander of the fourth division of the Atlantic fleet, who has just returned with his flagship, the Minnesota, from a tour of duty in the Gulf of Mexico. Admiral Beatty is here on leave to } visit his family. State department reports today said that the demonstrations in | Mexico City yesterday in compliment | to the new Japanese minister was at- tended by about 2,000 persons, nea ly all of whom were students. The laboring class was said to be con- spicuous by its absence. It was stat- ed that only one anti-American speech was made and that the police wers under strict orders to immediate- ly suppress any anti-American dem- onstration. ¥ To Deport Destitute Americans., Tt is said a movement. is progressing in Mexico City to raise funds to de- fray the expense of deporting desti- tute Americans in the capital te Vera Cruz. For several weeks the govern- ment and the Red Cross have been bring indigent vefugees from Mexi- can ports to Galveston, Texas. Al- ready several hundred who were with- out means have been brought to the Texas port. AMERICANS STARVING. Teke Refuge in Two——_Houm to Es- cape Bandits. Paso, Texas, July 23—Huddled im two houses on the main street of Madera. Mexico, the Americans who are besieged by bandits had been re- duced practically to starvation when a8 messenger left them fourteen days ago. He arrived here today after a hard trip overland through mud. He said the bandits are bent on murder- ing the Americans for protection giv- en some cowboys who attacked and killed two bandits who were stealing cattle, and are firing into the settle- ment at intervals. MEXICAN SENTIMENT. Intervention Would Precipitate War, It is Believed. Mexico City, July 23—All the news papers this morning display prom- inently the account of yesterday’'s de- bate in the senate at Washington on Mexican affairs without, however, making any comment. In El Pais it appears under the hearding “General Huerta Insulted agaim by American senators.” The same newspaper in commenting on the Nicaragua incident solemnly assures its readers that on the Colo- nia de la Bolsa, the most disreputable quarter of Mexico City “there.are men of more judgement and of hon- or than the majority of American sen- ators.” The rank and filé of the Mexicans cannot bring themselves to believe that the United States will' go to the ex- temt of intervention. Offcial Mexico is reticent on the residents of the districts in which they are to serve. Connelly, with Congress- man ,Kennedy, called on Secretary of the Treasu McAdoo today, as did James J. 1sh of Meriden, who Is Congressman Reilly’s candidate for %he place. An appointment is expected soon. TEST VOTES IN THE SENATE ON TARIFF Democratic Programme Upheld on Every Vote Taken. Washington, July 23.—The senate took its first plunge into the intrica- cles of the Underwood-Simmons tar- iff revision bill todap. Only a few paragraphs of the measure had been completed when adjournment was reached tonight. On every test vote throughout the democratic leaders were upheld, in some cases receiving the support of republicans aligned with the progressive element. Detailed con- sideration of the biil began unexpect- edly when it was found that no re- ublican senators were ready to de- iver tariff speceches. Senators Sim- mons, chairman of the finance com- mittee, argued that the senate should lose no time in pushing the measure to a vote and with the consent of the republicans the reading of the bill line by line was begun. CHINA NOT ALARMED BY SOUTHERN REVOLUTION Expects to Sink Every Ship Canton Expedition. in the Peking, July 24 —The government professes to view the revolutionary movement in the south without alarm. The southern troops from Nanking, tion, have suffered a fresh peverse and retreated from Suchow Fu and taken up a strong position at Linhwaikan, in the adjoining province of Anhaiw, where the Tien-Tsin-Nankin railway crosses the Hwai river, to await the arrival of the Canton expedition, which is expected to land 15,000 troops at Pukow. The government declares that the {navy will sink every ship enzaged in transporting the Canton expendtion, if ever it starts. PLAYED BANDIT AS JOKE ON BOYS John Thompson Shot Dead by Thir- teen-Year-Ofd Son. Port Reading, J. H., July 23.—Thir- teen vear old Christian ~Thompson, “camping out” today with companions on the beach near his home here, fired of bushes close to the camp from which three revolver shots had sound- ed and shot his own father through the heart, killing him instantly. John Thompson, the father, director of a local savings company, had gone to the camp to awaken the boys and presumably thought it would be a joke to do it by pretending a bandit attack. Alarmed by the shots. young Thomp. son blazed away with his rifle with fatal result. The_ grief-stricken lad was not arrested.

Coroner Fails to Find Criminal Negli- gence in Stamford Wreck. i i i | | | Bridgeport, July 23.—Neither Engi- neer Charles J, Doherty nor the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road, its servants or agents, is guilty of criminal negligence in connection with the wreck of the Springfleld ex- press in Stamford on June 12, accord- ing to the finding of Coroner J. J. Phe- lan of this city, made public today. i The finding is based on the death of | Ada Pearl Kelley of Chicago, one of | the six passengers who were killed in the ill-fated Pullman parlor car Sky- lark, of the first section of the ex- press, which was telescoped by engine 1338 of the second section, and her death is classed as “accidental.” The coroner reviews at some length the evidence taken by him in the hear- ings at Stamford and Bridgeport, and discusses the question of Doherty's competenay, the location of the distant and home signals at Stamford, the use | of automatic train stop devices and the air brake equipment. On the matter of the engineers’ fit-! ness the coroner says that “Doherty’s | alleged incompetence is disproved by his almost perfect service record,” and by testimony given by employes and officials of the company. In the mat- ter of practical experitnce the coroner believes that the “ons year rule” for L engineers does not give sufficient ex- perience, and thinks the llimit should be increased to two years at least, “but preferably to three years.” ‘While the distant and home signals he finds are too close together ‘at Stamford, and should, in the interests of safety, be increased to at least 2,500 feet, he does not think criminal negli- gence should be atrfbuted to the com- pany of its signal engineer in connec- tion with the location, because of the fact that Samford is a predetermined stoy, apd in view of Doherty’s “knowl- edge and obligation to stop,” and his “presumed knowledge of the place to start braking.” The prsctice, however, the coroner says, “‘of allowing one high | speed train to follow another into what is practically the same block and to | come within a few feet of another on the same track is a foothardy one,” and a hazard “not to be justified by the { slight gain in time over that lost by { one train remaining in the block be- | hind until the train ahead has cleared | from. its block.” | This practice the coroner finds alse does ‘“rude violence” to the public be- lief that to ensure safety trains while ruuning are kept one block apant. In reference to the automatic train | stops, the coroner says he has no knowledge of the continued use of any approved device on steam or electric roads, adding: “It appears to be the law that crim- inal negligence can only be based upon the faiiure of the New Haven company or its servants in providing automatic | stops when such stops have not onl,v} been tested experimentally, but have| been and are being successfully used | on other first class or well managed railroads.” The company Is not hound to adopt | any particular device that has not i proved its success by actual and con- tinued use, the coroner says, but he is convinced that there are automatic stops, speed controls and other safety devices in a fair state ofg development awaiting explloitation, and the New Haven road should feell obliged to in stall such in proper places,even though they may not equal all the niceties of the published ' requirements of that company.” The coroner says he is unable to find that the company is indifferent to the public needs in the matter of steel cars i and that it is taking steps to secure: more of such equipment. | In concluding, the coroner says while | there can be no question as to Doher- | ty's competency, he is persuaded by the ! engineer’s “presumed nrevousness,” due | partly to his limited experience, and | by other evidence that he did not ap- ply his “air” early enough, but toe near the home signal. ‘Tt is within the range of possibiiity, I assume,” he continues, “that something beyond hu- man vision may have been wrong with the air activities of the engine, and! that Doherty’s story of its defects and of the places and points of failure is correct, and he thereby stands justi- | fied. 7 “But, however that may be, I must, on the evidence before me, conciude he | inadvertently but scrupulously erred in misjudging the distance required in which to stop the train; that longer experience on that engine or on on the road would have taught him, and that so misjudging caused the accident.” Peace Prospects Brighten Up.

This was the outcome of the mutiny of the Swiss guards, whose demands, in the form of memorial lating their grievances and citing conditions on which they would main in the service, were flatly Jected today.

Yesterday the guards were relieved of their cartridges and today even their rifles were taken from them, as: re- | the | re- re- ceeded in concealing cartridges. Preparations For Trouble. Count Ceccoyieri, commander of the ( gendarmes, has been ordered to hold his men in readiness for emergencies. They are in controy of all exits and ; have Instructions to prevent any of the guards from leaving the building ! without express permission, or from communicating with those outside, The ! entire neighborhood is patrolled by strong forces of police. = Serious trouble was expected when the guards were notified that all their claims had been rejected and it had been ar- ranged that any of the guards at- tempting a demonstration "should be arrested by the papal gendarmes and turned over to the Italian police for transportation to the Swies frontler. Disappointed by Letter of Cardinal . Merry del Val. When the reply to their memorial was read, the commander and other officers, armed with revolvers, stood ready to surpress any show of force. A letter was also read from Cardin- al Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, strongly condemning the atti- tude of the guards. This was the last straw, as the guards had hoped that the cardinal would faver their side. They decided to maintain a relatively calm attitude, wishing as they them- selves expressed it, “to obtain their rights through persuasion, rather tham violence.” DAMAGE OF AT HARDWARE FACTORY. Fire at Plant of Peck, Stow and Wilcox at Southington. 4 Southington, Conn.,, July 23—Fire, the origin of which has not been definitely determined, did damage estimated at $90,000 to the hardware factory of Peck, Stow and Wilcox here tonight. The blaze was discovered about 7:30 o'clock by Charles Pubbs, a night watchman. He reported every- thing safe an hour before. When he saw the extent of the blaze, Pubbs was overcome, and is under the care of physician It is sald that he is “heartbroken” because he did not dis- cover the blaze sooner. The fire was first seen in the bolt shop, and probably started in the anealing room there. The company’s well equipped department alded by the ! Southington fire companies fought the | blaze and succeeded, after a hard fight, in saving the new main buildings, re= cently erected, at a cost of $300,000.
