NOT NEEDED, SAYS MEXICAN
XJmantour's Adverse Comment
Quickly Followed by Denial.
Taft Reayores Mexico as to
His Friendly Intentions.
. NEW TORK. March 1J. The Mex
ican Ambuulor and the Mexican Min
uter of Finance recelred assurances
from Washington tonight which con
vinced them there was sincere co-operation
between the Administration of
President Taft and that of President
Was.
It Is not professed that all tension
has been relieved, and. while Ameri
can troops remain In force on the
Mexican border. It Is admitted some
tena'on will continue, but apprehension
was appreciably lessened br two pieces
of news.
First In Importance waa a Ions; tele
gram to Ambassador De La. Barra from
the State Department, announcing; that
American warships on patrol duty on
the Pacific and Gulf coasts of Mexico
bad been ordered to call at Mexican
ports only for coal and then with
draw promptly.
Hint Front I.lminloor Taken.
This action la reassuring: to Senor
Llmantour. In a recent Interview he
said he could consider the presence of
American men-of-war In Mexican wa
ters, so far distant from their base at
Galveston, only aa part of an unneces
sary effort to Impress on Mexico the
power of the United States.
Ills personal protest waa promptly
followed by official representations,
and tonight he expressed himself aa
very much (-ratified that the request
of his government had been so prompt
ly granted."
Ambassador, Ie La Barra added that
the action ""was highly satisfactory to
his government, and that perfect un
derstanding; exists between the two
governments regarding; the matter."
Dickinson Kills Rnmor.
ibe second development waa the pub
lication here of an authorised inter
view with Jacob M. Dickinson, the
Secretary of War. In .which be denied
that his Government contemplated In
tervention or that orders had been Is
sued to mobilise a second Army corps
on the frontier. A rumor to that ef
fect, originating In Galveston, was
current here, but General Leonard
Wood. In Washington, added his de
ttlaJa to those of Mr. Dickinson.
More Troops Not Xeeded.
Earlier In the day and before these
assurances had been received. Senor
LJmantour had said regarding the ru
mored sending of another division to
the border:
"There have been no developments In
my country during the last few days
which could Justify doubling the force
which the United States Government
originally announced It was Its Inten
tion to mobilise for military maneuvers.
"Of course, your government has the
right to send as many troops as It
pleases to that section of the United
States, but I believe not even 30.000
troops will be needed to stop the Insur
rectionists from smuggling arms and
other supplies across the Texas border.
"Most of the smuggling has. naturally,
been done not through cities like El
Paso. Eagle Pass or Laredo, but at
points well removed from the border
and towns. To do effective work, there
fore, it s perfectly plain that the troop
must be distributed along the borders.
If this Is done. It by no means follows
that a conflict la about to occur between
the Federal troops of Mexico and those
of the United States."
Regarding the telegram from Wash
ington. 6 nor De la Barra said it con
tained assurances that "President Taft
wished to reiterate the expressions of
good feeling and friendship on the part
of the United States Government toward
the Mexican government, which he ex
pressed to the American Ambassador at
a recent Interview."
Bankers Predict Reforms.
Of a!l the Important financial visitors
to Senor Llmantour. not one has yet had
a single word to ssy. Weight Is. there
fore, to be attached to a statement Is
sued tonight from the offices of Laden
burg. Thalmann Co, fiscal agents here
for the Mexican government and assist
ing In the flotation of bonds of the Na
tional Railway of Mexico, addressed to
the foreign correspondents.
"After a careful Investigation we can
say on best authority that the Mexican
government feels absolutely safe to han
dle the Internal disturbances." the state
ment says In part: "steps are being
taken not only to dispose of this sltus
tton. but the lni.otlon exists to carry
through certain administrative reforms
which should mean much for restoring
satisfactory conditions In the Interior.

PEKIN GOVERNMENT.
St. Petersburg, lMssntlsflcd With
Orientals Second Reply. Demands
Cloer Adherence to Treaty.
ST. PETERSBURG. Mojreh 11 Russia
rui sent an ultimatum to China Insisting
upon a closer adherence to the provisions
of the treaty of 1S1. which has been
the subject of negotiation between the
two countrlen for several weeks.
This Is a sequel to the announcement
of Saturday that the Foreign Office waa
not satisfied with China's second reply
to the Russian demand concerning Rus
sian consular and commercial privileges
In 111 and Mongolia, as provided In the
Russo-Chlnese treaty of 1SS1.
The Russian occupation corps Is within
100 miles of the frontier and Is marching
on Kulja.
Only the immediate execution of
China's treaty obligations toward Rus
sia can Interrupt the advance of this
army. Two brigades of sharpshooters,
four sotnlas of Cossacks, two batteries
of field guns and eight batteries of ma
chine guns were dispatched from Mar
galea. In Gerghana. Turkestan, shortly
after the receipt of China's second re
ply. The Russian force Is considered suf
ficient to reoccupy and hold Kulja. aa
the Chinese troops, although nominally
10.000 in number, actually number a
bare couple of thousand. They are
undisciplined and of diverse equipment
and lack artillery.
The instructions which the Foreign
OfTlce telegraphed today to M. Koros
tovotx, the Russian Minister at Pekln,
contain the ultimatum. This embodies
two points: .The reopening of Russian
consulates at the points specified In
the treaty of 18S1 and establishment
of free trade In certain products. Includ
ing tea. In fulfillment of article 11 of
the same treaty.
MAN'S WIG LOST ON WAGER
Spokane Senator Reaches Home
Wearing Scalp Won.
SPOKANE. Wash March 13. (Special.)
Senator E. S. Whitney came home from
Olympla with the scalp of "Deep Creek"
Jones, of the Board of Control. The
Senator la now wearing the scalp over
the shining dome that once was the
pride of bald-headed row In the State

wss opposed to It. Whitney backed
Hutchinson and the two men got Into
an argument.

"I'll bet you my wig against $ that
Hutchy doesn't get that bill through."
"I'll take you on that." responded
Whitney.
The bill went through both Houses and
waa signed by the Governor. Then
Whitney called on Jones to deliver the
wig and got It. A delegation went to
the barbershop with Whitney and saw it
trimmed to fit the new pate.

AUGUSTA. Ga.. March 13. President
Tsffs delight was beyond measure to
day, when he waa Informed of the de
cision of the Supreme Court upholding
the validity of the corporation tax law.
Mr. Taft's Insistence put this law on
the statute books. All during the long
tariff fight over the Payne-Aldrlch bill,
the President 'Insisted that such a tax
would be held to be constitutional, de
spite the fact that many Senators and
others who opposed It expressed the be
lief that It would not stand a test.
Mr. Taft defended his action In sign
ing the Payne-Aldrlch law partly upon
the fact that it contained corporation
tax provisions. The - corporalon tax
proved a great success ' and, besides
bringing more than 127,000.000 into the
National treasury In the first year of
Its enforcement. It gave the Govern
ment much valuable Information re
garding many of the big Interstate cor
porations. Fight on Tax Bitter.
The bitterness with which, the tax
was fought was reflected In the state
ment of a Chicago banker, now stop
ping In Augusta, that his Institution
alone put up f 10.000 to test the validity
Of the law.
It now seems practically assured
that the President, while In Augusta,
will not act on the cases of the two
convicted bankers, Charles W. Morse,
of New Tork, and John R. Walsh, of
Chicago. The President haa not looked
at the papers. To act upon them as he
usually acts upon pardon cases would
require several days of . office or li
brary work. The President came to
Augusta for rest and Is anxious to
spend as much of his time as possible
out of doors. .
Troops Will "nike" on Border.
The President today received dis
patches from General Leonard Wood,
Chief of Staff of the Army, saying the
mobilisation of troops In Texas waa
practically complete.
The patrollng of the Mexican border.

CHILDHOOD DAYS RECALLED
Elder Man Had Not Been Able to
Locate Relatives Since Civil War
Until He Read That "Baby"
Was Illinois Central Chief. '
PADVCAH, Ky., March 13. (Special.)
After a separation of 46 years. Charles
Markham. president of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad, met and identified John
T. Markham as his. brother, in the pri
vate car of the former near Memphis,
Saturday night. The meeting was to
hav.e been kept secret, but it leaked out
today that the elder brother. In answer
to an urgent request of the younger one,
went to Memphis to renew the ties
which had been severed nearly half a
century.
The meeting was an affectionate one.
There was a great contrast between the
two men. John Markham had grown
gray and grizzled since he had last met
the new president of the Illinois Central.
Old times were brought up. and when
the train arrived at Paducah, both had
gone over the events since they had
parted. The old home, former neighbors
and the surrounding country had been
gone over again as they had before the
outbreak of the Civil War.
Meeting Is Arranged.
Several weeks ago, after a talk over
the long-distance telepnone, President
Markham asked that the older brother
rneot him at the conclusion of an Inspec
tion trip through the South. Without
telling any of his friends where he in
tended going, John, Markham eluded his
friends at Hopkinsville and went to
Memphis, where he was Joined by the
brother whom he had left at home at the
outbreak of the war.
The story of John Markham, through
his most prosperous brother, was a sim
ple though interesting one. After leav
ing home in the early '60s he Joined the
Confederate troops, fought under the
stars and bars, and was captured by the
Federal troops. While a pr'soner, he was
taken through Chicago, the home of his
brother, but he was not aware hat his
family had left the old home.
Tooth-Pulling Recalled.
As soon as the pair had recognized
each other, the elder brother said:
"Charley, do you remember the time
that I took you on horseback to the
dentist and you had a tooth pulled?"
"Yes, I do," replied the younger man.
"I never can forget that,"
There were a few of the railroad presi
dent's friends who were preesnt at the
meeting, and when the brothers were
clasped in each other's arms there was
atmist before the eyes of the witnesses
and they stole away to leave the re
united brothers to discuss bygone days.
Family Is Gone.
Since the brothers had been separated
the mother has died. The first knowledge
John Markham had of her death was
when he talked to Charles Markham over
the long-distance telephone from Hop
kinsville, Ky., to Chicago. When he re
turned home from the war the elder
brother found that his father had died
and that his mother, with the baby
brother, had moved away, he did not
know where. '
Although he made every possible In
quiry, he learned nothing of the where
abouts of his brother until there was an
announcement in the papers under glar
ing headlines, that the lost baby brother
I had been elected to tne presidency oi
the Illinois Central Railroad. No plans
have been announced as to what John
Markham will do.
WATERFRONT DEAL PENDS
Mysterious Syndicate Negotiating for
Lease of Large Tract.
Negotiations are pending for the leas
ing of a large body of waterfront land
on the East Side by a concern whose
identity has been thus far effectually
concealed. The land Is situated about
a quarter of a mile north of the Port
land Flouring Mills plant and is owned
by a syndicate which is headed by B.
M. Lombard.
The land has a frontage of 1600 feet
on the Willamette opposite the southern
half of Swan Island. It is bounded on
the north by Killingsworth avenue, on
the south by Webster street and extends
back from the river a distance of 2000
feet to the right of way of the O.-W.
R. & N. Railway. The tract comprises
about 50 acres and the ship channel off
the property has a minimum depth of
43 feet.
"We were asked to name a basis for
loin.. the oroDerty for a long term of
L years," said Mr. Lombard yesterday. "Wa
"gave a figure at which we would con
sent to lease and the terms are now
under consideration. J. am in me oaris
