atatement:
Tilivramt tppwrtu on July S and
In many Ameriraj papers, reporting
that at the breakfast which followed
I he Fourth of July exerclsr. th
American Ambassador, Mr. Wilson,
failed to respond with the customary
recognition when the American Na
tional air was played, and that ha rose
to his feet after everyone else had
done so.
First Xrw FYom Wit bout.
"This story Is entirely without foun
dation: no such Incident occurred and
no conversation on the subject took
place. The first news to the Mexi
can public that there waa a chars
of such tndecoroua conduct came with
the arrival of the American papers
containing the telegram.
"When the National air waa played
the Ambaasador waa the first one to
rise to Ma feet, la company with the
free! lent. These artlclea which have
been sent to the American press from
Mexico are purly malicious Inventions
and la no way reflect the opinions and
sentiments of the American people In
Mexico.
Attack tailed I'njust.
"The Ambassador makes this state
ment, not because ha believes the pub
lic la Interested In his affairs, but aa
the only means In hla power of curreet
injr unjust and untruthful attacks cal
culated to affect the usefulness of th
American Rrabassy In thla capital.
The telecrams referred to by th
Ambassador related what purported to
b a conversation between himself and
President de la Harra. In which Mr.
Wilson waa quoted aa saylr.jr that In
asmuch as they were eat In-, ha saw
no need for them to rise. In conse
quence. It wss said. a movement
should be started by the American col
ony to brine about th Ambassador's
recall.
The Mexican Herald, commenting on
the story, said that "a hundred a-en-tljnn
who attended th breakfast
know that no -such thine happened."

Knjtlncer Admits Order to Run
More Than Ten Miles an
Hour Was Tlobeyed.
Further Investigation by the Stat
Railway Commission Into th causes
of th wreck on the Oregon Trunk Kall
road on Monday hav been suspended
because of the serious condition of
George McKUltp, the Injured fireman,
who was brought to this city to testi
fy before th commission, but Who has
been taken to St. Vincent's hospital
for treatment.
In the meantime O. R. Miller and
Thomaa C. Hayes, Inspectors for th In
terstate Commerce Commission, ar
continuing their Inspection of th
seen of th disaster and their exam
ination of witnesses. They have ar
ranged for a hearing In this city be
ginning tomorrow morning and hav
summoned employes of the railroad to
appear befor them at th Cornelius
Hotel.
It waa learned yesterday that
Thomaa Myles. the engineer who had
rharge of the train and whom th
Coroner's Jury may hold responsible
for the disaster that claimed th lives
of seven persons, had received previous
warnlnaa from officials of th rail
road against running too fast around
curves. It Is said that he has dis
played a tendency for taking curves at
exresalve speed and has admitted to
the commissioners that at th time of
Monday's accident he was running at
least IS miles an hour in th fac of
his Instruction to operate at no
greater speed than ten miles an hour.
Although no official version of the
wreck haa been given. It Is admitted
on all sides that exceeding the speed
limit waa at least a contributing cause.
J. Russell, general superintendent of
the line. Is of the opinion that a "sun
kink" waa an Important factor. He
refutes the suggestion thst a spread
ing rail waa a cause. Th Oregon
Trunk Is "tie plated." which prevents
th rails from spreading, but in case
of rails expanding from the heat both
rails would bend, causing an un
natural and exceedingly sharp curv
th trark. which an engine oper
ated at even a moderate rat of speed
might be unable to take.
Although th testimony or witnesses
regarding the speed of the train haa
varied considerably, the Commission be
liever that the statement of A. A.
Camp construction foreman for Ker
rlcl Jt Co.. railroad contractors, and
of his assistant. John Swansnn. that
the train was running at a rate of
from li to 40 miles an hour Just be
fore the crash cam Is a correct esti
mate. Roth men having technical and
practical knowledge of the movement
of trains causes the Commission to
give weight to their opinions. A. H.
McCurdy. roadmaster of th Oregon
Trunk, who was a passenger on the
train, told th Commission that they
were moving at the rate of 60 to ti
miles an hour.
Whether the engineer or anyone
els In responsibility can be held
criminally liable depends with tha
Coroner's Jury that Is Investigat
ing the case and th possible action
of the grand Jury.

"No. I don't do that. No. no. I don'

Rainier when he was led this arternoon
Into the room where young Coble and
his girl bride were slashed to death
with an ax.
Peterson drew his bent figure erect
under the searching eyes of Sheriff
George Gaston, of Thurston County. In
his broken English he repeated. "No,
I don't do that." then with another
glance at the bed In the corner, with
Its brown mass of dried Mood clinging
to the pillow and sheet, he raised his
hands with something of a gesture.
"If I do such a thing as that." h
asserted. "I would commit suicide five
minutes after. Yes. sir. I would kill

Peterson was taken to tne scene oi
the murder from Tacoma by train. On
arriving at Rainier Sheriff Gaston took
him at one to the Coble home.
"No. I never seen It before. was
Peterson's remark as the Sheriff
pointed to the bed. "I never be here
before not In house."
And to thla statement he held fast.

the Thurston County Court at olympl
Monday.
Sheriff Gaston Is not satisfied tnat
Peterson In the guilty man and Is al
ready making preparations to follow
up some other suspicions he has in
regard to the crime.
"1 have absolutely no evidence on
which 'to hold Peterson, except that
which the Portland men say they have
gathered." Sheriff Gaston declared. It
Is now ui to them to prove what they
say they can prove. They say they dis
covered the murderer's tracks on the
linoleum of the bedroom. There have
been at least 40 people In the room
since the murder, but they -used a mag
nifying glass and In the grass outside
located the footprints as tney pro

CRIME BAFr'I.IXfi TO OFFICERS
Sheriff Ma Off to Oljnij.la to
Interview SiiftiHt-t.
Although a trail of blood stains leads
from the room In which Arthur Coble
and his wife were murdered In their
home at Rainier. Wash., to room 10 In
the Caldwell Hotel that was occupied
by Swan Peterson, and the details of
tlie atrocious crime In tne wasningion
village tallies In all respects with th
murder of the Hill fnmlly at Arden
wald. a suburb of Portland, June .
detective, criminologists, and scientists
are as murh baffled as to the perpe
trator of the crimes as when they were
discovered.
Dr. George A. Cathey. wh has dis
covered a chemical preparation for de
tecting tha presence of blood. Is of the
opinion thst the murderer of the Hill
family killed Coble and his wife be
cause the acts were similar In minute
detail, but linger print evidence, which
he attempted to obtain In both cases.
Is lacking. In each case the lines of
the fingers and hands were blurred so
that Identification of the criminal or
even a comparison of the prints to as
certain if one man did both acts are far
from satisfactory.
"There are several circumstances that
Swan Peterson must explain before he
can be placed above suspicion In con
nection with the murder of Mr. and
Mrs. Coble." said Dr. Cathey last night.
"There Is not doubt about the blood
stains leading to his room and a quar
ter sole Peterson had 'put on his shoe
fits a track evidently made by the mur
derer at the Coble home. These cir
cumstances and several other must be
satisfactorily explained."
Sheriff Mass. of Clackamas County,
came to Portland yesterday and regis
tered at the Perkins Hotel. He will go
to Olympla today "to Investigate th
Coble crime. Sheriff Stevens haa been
endeavoring to discover a connecting;
link between the Coble and Hill mur
ders and evidence that might point to
Peterson, now In Jail at Olympla, as th
criminal.
Sheriff Steven said last night that
some on from his office will likely go
to Olympla to assist In the Investiga
tion. Washington officers and many per
sons In Portland have linked the mur
der of the Hill and Coble families with
that of little Barbara Holtxman in a
rooming-house at Russell street and
Mississippi avenue last Spring, but the
Portland detective department has not
and does not now associate the crimi
nals. "The man who murdered Barbara
Holzman Is not the man who murdered
the Hill and Coble families." said Cap
tain Moore, last night. "Peterson does
not answer the description of th mur
derer of Barbara Holtsman. and ttier
is no similarity In the crimes and we
have never worked along those lines."

Many Complaints Heard.
Reports Saturday night from those sec
tlons of the city that had complalnetl.
of a water shortage indicated a gen
eral compliance on the part of con
sumers with the request of the City
Water Department that the practice
of night street sprinkling be aban
doned temporarily. Accompanying:
these reports, came the Information
that an abundant supply of water was
available where for the preceding sev
eral days It was almost Impossible to
get sufficient for domestic purposes.
Superintendent Dodge and the mem
bers of the Water Board are satisfied
that all danger of a continued shortage
of water In the city will be entirely
removed If the people will follow tho
Inlunctlon of the Water Department
with regard to sprinkling in the even-
ng. This rule was followed last nignt
with scarcely an exception.
'For three nights before tonight.
testified ono housekeeper, "we wer
unable to get any water at oyr house,
other than a very limited supply from
faucet in the basement. lonigni
ther was a good pressure and a plen
tiful supply throughout the house.
None of the people in our part of the
city did any sprinkling tonight."
"We had plenty of water tonigni lor
the first time In a week." said another
housekeeper la Alblna. one of the dis
tricts that was experiencing a short
age in the water supply.
Superintendent Dodge by automobile
and the service of a small army of In
spectors yesterday distributed among
water consumers throughout tne cn.jr
printed cards asking the people to
comply with the special order not to
use water for sprinkling purposes at
night. He believes that the people
of Portland will reallxe. since their at
tention has been called to It, that n
a situation such as the present one.
all should co-operate In the movement
to end the general distress oi tne ciiy.
The department, points out super-
ntendent Dodge, has no wish or pur
pose to cause peoeple any unnecessary
trouble or' to cut off the sprinkling
privileges except in a case of necessity.
For this reason, he says, it is not
calculated to make any arrests or to
shut off" the water of patrons, ana
this will not be done unless In cases
of gross abuse and disregard of the
order of the board, published yesterday.
While there should be a reserve sup
ply of 60.000.00U gallons In the various
reservoirs, yesterday afternoon only
about 40,000,000 gallons were on hand
and not until the order of the board,
cutting off evening sprinkling privi
leges. Is In full force and effect, will
me supply oegin iff increase.
Some sections of the city have been
n distress. A resident on Alberta
treet telephoned to Mayor Rushlight's
office yesterday morning that he need
ed water for an emergency In his fam-
ly at 1 o'clock yesterday morning. He
put a pall under a tap and it took two
hours to flu It. This was a small re
ceptacle, -he declared.

MOVAL OF SYSTEM.
Police Are of Opinion That Crimi
nals Are Aided by Enforce
ment of Old Statute.
ST. PETERSBURG. July .. (Spe
cial.) When a man -marries In Russia,
he and his wife become one, not only
in the eyes of heaven, but also in the
eyes of the passport officials. And ac
cordingly, as he is the one, his passport
has to do for his wife and the children
as well. Should the spouses quarrel
and In Russia that is not a very un
common occurrences the man may give
his wife a separate document which
will enable her to live apart, or he may
not. It depends upon him. She has to
obey even when she can no longer
honor or love. She possesses only a
body and a soul and a little corner of a
passport.
The only people who benefit by the
passport system are the criminals, who
find it easier to elude pursuit under it.
For nearly every great criminal pos
sesses a number of false passports and
presents now one. now another, throw
ing the police each time off the scent.
The subject was studied thoroughly In
the year 1869 by an Imperial Commis
sion under Count Solsky. . The evidence
of the most eminent chiefs of the police
was then taken, and the conclusion offi
cially arrived at was that the passport
svstem as a means of control is utterly
useless, while It lies as a heavy burden
on 160.000.0ft0 people, and ought, there
fore, to be abolished. The Czar said he
would think the matter over.
Forty-two years have passed since
then, but the passport system remains
Intact. The present Prime Minister has
been asked by the press over and over
again to do away with it. But M.
Stolvpin turns a dear ear to all suc.i
exhortations. His efforts are concen
trated upon the creation of new tram
mels', not upon the abolition of old
ones.
