Circulation in Nor ‘SUBORDINATES PERSONAL AMBITION Charles S. Whitman Accepts District Attorney Nomi- nation on Anti-Tammany Ticket vy : WILL DO NOTHING TO WEAKEN FUSION MOVEMENT This Is No Time, He Says, For Division of Anti-Tammany Forces—Report Current That He Had Been Urged To Bolt Fusion and Head a Third Ticket—Campaign to Re- elect Meyor Gaynor Has Started New York, Aug. T—District Attor- pey Charles S, Whitman .in a state- ment issued late today, formblly ac- cepted the fusion nomination for dis- trict attorney amd declared that he would take an active part in the cam- paign to elect the entire anti-Tam- many ticket headed by John Purroy Mitchel, collecor-of. the port.of - New York. The district attorney was in con- ference all day with leaders of the va- rious parties and organizations allied in the fusion movement. It was re- ported that much pressure had been exerted to influence Mr. Whitman to bolt the fusions and head-a third tick- ot againet Collector Mitchel and the Tammany candidate. His statement, however, said that his determination since the fusion nominations were made last week, “has been to do noth ing to weaken the fusion movement. Continuing Mr. Whitman stated that because a third ticket would assure Tammany success he had determined to accept the place allotted to him by the fusionists “irrespective of any oth- er question.” Persomal ambitions, he said ,should be subordinated to the blic good and furthermore that Fiita is ot time for the division of the antjsTammany forces.” Continuing Mr. Whitman said in “The republican party in the con- stllutionalpcon\'emion which provided |'that municipal elections ;should be separated from state elections, rec- ognized the principle that municiple government should be divorced f_rom party government. The republican party is stronger as a party in the state and the union by joining with all good citizens, regardiess of party, against corruption in the city. of New Yerk, than by seifishly insisting upon the selection of any particular re- publican for any particular office. Tn making pubiic his acceptance of the nomination for the office he now holds, Mr. Whitman said that he be- lieved the republican leaders will now | work for the fusion ticket. Mr. Whitman left tonight for But- tonwoods, N. H. to join his family. The campaign of Mayor Gaynor for re-election began today with the dvls- tribution of thousands of nominating petitions by the Mayor Gaynor fusion and nominating league. GOVERNMENT’S CASE IN Attorney Outlines What is to Be Proved Against Diggs. San ¥Francisco, Aug. 7.—A jury was sworn, the government stated its case and the taking of testimony was be- gun today in the first of the Diggs- Caminetti trials. The case was called Tuesday morning in the United States district court on an indictment chari- ing violation of the Mann mct—popu- larly known as the white slave law. Theodore Roche of special counsel for the government set forth in th closing hour of the aftermoom lltflfi Lola Norle-. one 20 years old and 'the o!g:er 18, had been frightened by Mau- ry L Diggs and F. Drew Camii married men, with children, one 23 &hd the other 27 years old,-into -lea Sacramento lest a scandal explode criminal prosecutions follow. 2—That marriage had been promised after the two husbands should have divorced their wives. 3—That Caminetti raised the money for the trip from ento to Reho, Nev., that t the trans- and d the Pullman fares. 4—That the four traveled as married couples, occupying the same stateroom on_a-night train. 5—That on a at Reno on the morning of March 11, 1913, they reg- istered at a hotel as married and occu- pied adjoining rooms, with a bath be- tween. 8—That Diggs hired a four-room ‘bungalow, paying rent in advance for a month and representing to the agent that the party was from Los Angéles and intended to spend six months in Reno. —That all four lived in the bun- galow for three days before thex were Diggs and Marsh Warring- ton occupying the front room and Caminetti and Lola Norris a rear room. = 8—That Diggs was in his night clothes when he opened the back door of_the bungalow to the officers ‘who ar- relted him on the morning of the 14th, and that the officers waited in the liv- ing room while the t"! girls dressed. "—m after - the rn to Sacra- mento Diggs had writlen to Marsh ‘Warrington from Berkeley adjuring her to keep up her courage and that all would end well if she would re- member what he had told her, particu- larly if she was firm in denying that theére had been any improper reiations between them. Just before court adjourned F. I. Peck, a real estate dealer from Reno, was on the stand. In cross examina- tion the defense sought to show that bungalow the two couples occupied ring their stay in Reno was not on outskirts of the city and had been ted with no view to sequestration Snd conceglment. “T don’t see,” interposed Judge Van Fleel, “how it can make any difference to this case if they went there openly or secretly and clandestinely. Unless the government can show that they went there for the purpose prohibited by the Mann white slave traffic act, then the case of the government falils. ¥iven if the women were public pros- titutes, if the defendant procured their transportation and accompanied them there for immoral purposes, the case of the government would stand.” SOUGHT DEATH IN FIERY FURNANCE.

The threatened rebuff from the Hu- erta administration to the mission of John Lind, personal representative of President Wilson, en route to Mexico City to_expound the hopes of the United States for a suspension of his- tilities and an orderly, constitutional election in Mexico, drew from Sena- tor ' Bacon, chairman of the foreign relations committee a declaration on the floor of the senate today that the present situation was “the gravest im, years, much graver than confronted us when the Cuban question wes here.” President Wilson Displeased. The president realizes the gravity of the situation and manifested during the day his displeasure at the attityds of some members of the minority party in congress, telling callers that he be- lieved certain republicans were mak- ing it difficult for him to handle the situation in a peaceful manner. The president is confidently hopeful that a peaceable solution of the Mex- ican trouble can be effected. He made it plain to callers that until advised officially to the contrary he would con- tinue to regard as increditable Statements issued on behalf of Pres dent Huerta declaring Mr. = Lind’ presence in Mexico undesirable, While there is_little disposition, to doubt the vergeity of the news dispatches des- cribing the attitude of the Huerta gov- ernment -against Lind, there is = & hopé among other administration ofi- clals that upon mature refiéction no such Intimations will be formally con- veyed to the Washington_ authorities, Might Recognize Constitutionalists. Should -the efforts of - the United States be balked by open remonstrance against Mr. Lind's visit, varioys sug- fiesuons for .procedure came m - of - clalg) but none of them' refie any definite plan. It was pof that if the Huertd government to deal with a representative president of the United States or turn- ed a deaf ear to his represents s, Tecognition of the belligerency of the lists should foll as a tural consequence. The th*«“ll_t itherto has blocked any mu it for r{::gnnwn of the constitu has n the realization that American government by such action ‘would forfeit” its rights to claims for against the Huerta adminis- tration. With open diplomatic hos- tility, however, between the Huerta government and the United States it ig recognized that there might be Ht- tle opportunity to enforce claims and many members of the senate are com- fident that the comstitutionalists could be depended upon to reimburse the ican - government eventually as they believe, by Mfting the embarge on arms, the constitutionalist cause would soon triumph. Mexico City, Aug. T—President Hu- erta's prestige among Mexicans in the capital undoubtedly has been serengih. ened by what is regarded as his de- fiance of the United States. Even those who had been luke warm in their support of the administration profess admiration for the soldier- president who dared to talk back io Washington, although not all of them agree as to the wisdom of his course and many of them consider that he act-ed precipitately in view of the of- ficlally defined intentions of Wash- ington. Just what course President Huerta will take in the event that John Lind, President Wilson's personal repr: sentative continues his trip to Mex- ico City is a matter for speculation. No official declaration has been made as yet as to what this course will be. Probably Ignore John Lind. Mexicans generally of the conservat- tive class appear to belleve that Hu- erta will not drive Mr. Lind from the country but will be content with ig- noring him, except perhaps. for sub- jecting him to survelllance in order to See that he does nothing possible of be comstrued as mixing in the politics of the country. Unless a radical change is effected in the sentiment at the palace; Mr. Lind will not be given an opportunity to talk with President Huerta, even though he is permitted to remain in the capital; nor will he be any more successful in meeting any official of the government. SLOW PROGRESS ON NEW TARIFF BILL. / | Senator Sherman Attacks The Pro- posed Metal Schedule. ‘Washington, Aug. 7—Democrats made slow progress today in advancing the mnew tariff bill. An opposing speech by Senator Warren, republican; a long and sharp debate between Sen- ators Stone and Lippitt over the Payne Aldrich tariff law; and an at- tack by Senator Sherman upon pro- visions of the metal schedule took up much of the day. Senator Sherman opposed the fifteen per cent. rate on car wheels in the bill, saying it meant ruin to American manufacturers for the benefit of these in England and Germany. Reviewing exports of wheels from this. country last year, he said: “Not a dollar’s worth was exported to China in 1912 and it is resonable to suppose that not a dollar's worth will be exported in 1913. Instead of dollar diplomacy in the far east with thousands of dolars worth of goods sold there we now have n.r Jjuice diplomacy and the sale of noth- ing’ Can Do No Harm. Mr. Bryan enjoys his summer lec- tur and so do his audiences. Lectur- ing is a form of relaxation which, dis- creetly managed, should harm no ohe. -—Washington Star. Naturally.
