Bupport for Diaz Sought. WMetdenally the New Mexico sen ator today presented to the foreign re- Jations committee Pedro Del Vilar and Cectlo Ocon, representing the political interests of Felix Diaz. Members of the committee were frankly amazed when the Mexicans sought the moral support by the United States of a movement to bring about peace in Mexico by another revolution headed by Diaz. The committee had no idea, it is sald, as to the exact purpose to their visit, other than they wished to present information about the situa- tion in Mexico. BMembers of the com- mittse flatly stated that the United States could not recognize any such movement, Vilar and Ocon severely arraigned Huerta as corrupt and Car- ranza and Villa as bandits, and argued that Felix Diaz had a host of loyal Mexican citizens behind him who would rush to his support to establish & resl government in Mexieo, They wanted to gei a promise, if possible from the American government that it would uphold Disz and recognize him if 4 counter revolution succeeded. Sev- eral members of the eommitiee char- mcterized the proposition as preposter- ous.

Secretary Bryan in reply suggested to Governor Colquitt that he might ask for the extradition of the offenders from “the governor of Nuevo Leon,” leaving it to the Texas governor who that individual was. The extradition has been asked for on the charge of horse stealing. State depart- ment officials say that under the trea- ty the offenders, if extradicted, could not be tried for murder, because Ver- gara was slain on Mexican soil. Conserving Food Supply. Mexico City, March 4—A virtually | prohibitive export tax has been placed on cattie and hogzs. This measure is not expected to bring revenue to the government, but is calculated to con- serve the country’s food supply. The region from which the capital and other cities are receiving their beef cattle has been greatly restricted by the revolution and the problem of { maintaining a meat supply promises to become serious should the rebels con- tinue ‘closing in on the capital. The First Naval Battle. Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, March 4.— | The first naval engagement of the present Mexican revolution ended to- day at Topolobampo, after a half hour of ineffective firing between the rebel warship Tampico and the federal gun- | boats Morelos and Guerrero, which steamed down from Guaymas for the attack.

Alexander Declares That No Man Can Serve Two. Masters. New Haven, March 4—Diplomas for efficiency In Sunday school studies with cla. numerals and graduating exercises like those in high schools and colleges, were suggestions put for- ward by E. Morris Ferguson of Phil- adelphla today in discussing Sunday school work at a departmental confer- ence of the Religious Educational as- sociation, holding its international con- vention here. He would grade boys and girls by age, with the class just entering intermediate work ranked as 1920, and allowing a six year course of study. The “‘old’ young people” would be a post graduate course. John L. Alexander decared there weTe too many organizations in Sun- day schools for students between the ages of 12 and 18. “There are 400 varieties of them,” he said, such as the Christian Endeavor, the Mission- ary soclety, the Knights of King Ar- thur, the Hoy Scouts, the Camp Fire Girls, ete. “I know,” said Mr. Alex- ander, “because I am director in all of them—a sort of interlocking direc- torate myself. If you want the last word In organization go to London and you will find it militant suffragism. The boys’ loyalty is to the crowd. It is as impossible for a boy to have loy- alty to two gangs as it i{s for a man to have loyalty to two wives. No man can serve two masters.” Mr. Alexander did not know whether or not a_diploma would keep boys or girls in Sunday school. “As they grow older we have to increase the bribe and there comes a point where we cannot meet the bribe and they go. There {& something inherently wrong in Sunday school work.” AN EXPENSIVE GUARD FOR MORGAN ART COLLECTION Fifty Armed Watchmen and Tweo lice Detectives on Duty. / New York, March 4.—Though the strictest secrecy had enveloped the elaborate measures taken, it became known today that unusual precaution is being exercised by the g(ntrwoll- tan Museum of Arts to guard the $50,- 000,000 Morgan collection against thieves and fire.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR SECTARIAN PURPOSES. Constitutional Amendment to Prevent Them Advocated. Boston, March 4.—Ministers of vari- ous denominations advocated at the statehouse today an amendment to the constitution which would prohibit the appropriation of state funds for sec- tarian purposes. Bishop John W. Hamiiton of the Methodist Episcopal church, former President Willlam F. Warren of Boston university and Dr. Charles F. L. Fleischer were among those in favor of the amendment. Frederick T. Fulier of Walpole was the only speaker in opposition.

Washington, March 4—John Bassett Moore, counsellor of the state depari- ment, ‘and the recognized strong man of the present administration on inter- national questions, concluded his ser- vice with the government today when President Wilson accepted the resig- nation which Mr Moore had submitted a month ago. Coming at the present time_when international affairs occupy the forefront of official and public at- tention, the departure of Mr. Moore from a’ position second only to that of Mr. Bryan attracted widespread at- tention and comment. Resignation Tendered Feb. 2. Although the resignation had been in the president’s hands since Feb. 2 last, to take effect today, this fact had not been generaily known. There had been reports several months ago that the counselior of the state department did not find his labors entirely congenial, and was about to resign, but these re- ports were promptly denied at the time. It was then explained, and again officially explained today, that Mr. Moore had come into the administra- tion with a definite understanding that his tenure was provisional for a year, so that he could return at the expira- tion of that period to his duties as head of the department of international law at Columbia university. This fact was strongly emphasized in the official correspondence made public tonight. Favored Recognition of Huerta. Although the statements—one from President Wilson, one from Mr. Bryan, and Mr. Moore's own letter of resigna- tion—made no mention of the subjeot, it is a matter of common report that Mr. Moore’s personal viewpoint on some of the most Important policies re- lating to foreign affairs were not al- ways in accord with those of his su- periors. At the-same time, it has been recognized that he gave unswerving loyaity and unprejudiced counsel to the fulfillment of the policies as finally adopted. It is said in this connection that when the question of recognizing the Huerta government was being dis- cussed, Mr. Moore, when called upon for an opinion, submitted a memoran- dum elting precedents by which the United States would be justified In recognizing the. Huerta government. Previous to Mr. Moore’s appointment, however, the general policy of the ad- ministration not to recognize govern- ments set up by arbitrary force had been outMned in a_ statement from President Wilson. When it was defl- nitely determined not to recognize the Huerta government, Mr. Moore con- tributed his energies to carrying out the policy officially determined upon. Often Sat at Cabinet Table. During the diplomatic controversy with Japan arising out of the passage by California of an anti-alien land law Mr. Moore was constantly consulted by the president, and his counsel was refleclur in the various notes defining the American attitude. When Mr, bryan was in California, Mr. Moore was acting secretary of state, and in frequent conference with the presi- dent on the Japanese question, At all times during Mr. Bryan’s ab- sences from Washingion Mr. MooFe was acting secretary of state and oec- casionally sat at the cabinet table, Mr. Moore's letter accompanying his resignation, under date of Feb. 2, was as follows: A S Text of Resignation. “My Dear Mr. President: “In resigning the office of eounsellor for the department of state it is proper to recall the faet that I indicated at the outset that my tenure was only provisicnal, my sole motive in accept- | ing the place being to render to your administration such service as might be possible in a period of transition, This design is now fulfilled. My first term of departmental service, whici began mere than 28 years ago, lasted somewhat more than six years; my second, which was followed by special service abroad, lasted barely five months. My present term will, on the day on which my resignation is to take { effect, have lasted more than tea months, while a full year will have elapsed since the close of the last ad- ministration. Ample oppertunity hav- ing thus been afferded for the effective organization of the department’s force, the duty which I took upon myself has Deen fully performed. “Permil me to_ assure yeu that 1 shali always stand ready to serve you, as far as may be practicable, in any | capacity in which thers may seem to be an opportunity for usefulness. “Believe me to be, my dear Mr. ! President, with constant wishes for | your health and prosperity, and for ! the continued success of your admin- stration, | “Very respectfully and truly yours, | “JOHN BASSETT MOORE. To Return to Columbia University. | Both President Wilson and Secretary | Bryan pay high tribute to Mr. Moore’s | services and express regret at his re- | tirement. | Mr. Moore said tonight he would re- main in Washington for a month or six weeks to complete the work he is doing for the Carnegie endowment for international peace and the nresume his place at the head of the depart- ment of international law at Colum- bia university ! DANCING MAY FOLLOW MIDNIGHT SUPPERS, Mayor Mitchel Won't Close New York ! Cafes at 1 a. m. New York, March 4—Devotees of the tango and other forms of dancing, who showed deep disappointment last night when the police closed several of the establishments on Broadway where dancing follows ' midnight suppers, breathed a sigh of relief tonight when Mayor Mitchel announced that the or- der to ciose these places at 1 o'clock in the morning, when the law compeis them to closs their bars, had not been issued hy Police Commissioner McKay. Mayor Mitchel said that in his opinion the closing was the result of a mis- understanding of orders. Dancing has been permitted recently to conlinue after the sale of liquor had been stop- ped at1a m. “The closing of the establishments will not continue” said the mayor. “I have no intentlon of carrying out the stringent measures of the last admin- istration in regard to the closing at 1 o'cloek.” { | sion | vision of the | empting American coastwise shipping Blease Pulls GOVERNOR READY TO FIGHT A LEGISLATOR.

Blease Pulls Off His Coat. Following the tilt with Dr. Barnwell the governor left the hall, accompanied by a number of his supporters. Mr. Stevenson followed him for the pur- pose, it is said, of stating that he did not wish Governor Blease to under- stand that he had apologized for any statement in his speech. The govern- or apparently believed that Mr. Ste- venson wanted to fight and pulled off his coat. "I have been in some fights, but I never take off my coat” said Mr. Stevenson, returning to the hall General Fight Threatened, Disorder reigned for several minutes while the governor was making his charges. Friends of Mr. Barnwell and the governor crowded around and for a time it seemed that a general fight ‘was imminent.
