A state ment by Representative Slayden. of Texas, that the second division of the United Statea Army would remain mobilised here and at Texas City until the Mexican government is recognized by the United States, or until Interven tion in Mexico is ordered, attracted considerable comment today. Mr. Slay den is vice-chairman of the House mil itary affairs committee. He was reti cent about further discussion of the situation. WASHINGTON". "April S. There has hern no Intimation since the beginning of President Wilson's Administration that troops on the Mexican border were to be withdrawn.

PAWNSHOP MEN ARRESTED Warrants Are Served on 33 Accused of Evading 'Fence" Ordinance, Thirty - three second - hand dealers and junk men were nominally arrested last night on warrants sworn to by Police Detectives Hepner and Smith, of the pawnshop detail. They were charged with having failed to make proper reports of goods bought - or pawned, in compliance with a resent city ordinance. The dealers were merely served with tha warrants by Patrolmen Pressey and McMicbael and were allowed to go free on their own recognizance. The arrests are the result of a long fight between the detectives and the pawnshop -men. in which the police have been trying to force proper re ports of the goods the second-hand dealers receive. The police say that many of the stores are known "fences." where stolen goods are pawned, and the failure of the poltce to receive no tice of the sale of this stolen property is behind the arrests. Those arrested, with their places of business, are: Jacob Asher. 242 First street; J. Perkel, 2 First; Joseph Fisher. 8( Second street Xorth; I.

Philippines Debatable as to Details. WASHINGTON:. April S. President Wilson Indicated Informally today what the attitude of this Government would be toward Mexico, China and the Philippines. Pending a settlement of affairs in Mexico, the holding of elections and the establishment of a stable govern ment. recognition probably will be withheld. The Chinese republic Is to be rec ognised next Tuesday, April 8, the meeting day of the new assembly. No tlce of this Intention has been given to tho diplomats of all foreign govern ments represented here, with a formal proposal that the other governments grant recognition at the same time. Philippine Details Debatable. With respect to the Philippines, the President Intends to see that the pledge of the Democratic party for the ultimate independence of the Phil ippines Is carried out, but he believes the date for the granting of lnae pendence Is a debatable question and depends upon a thorough ana non partisan investigation of conditions. He proposes, therefore, to give care ful consideration to the appointment of a Governor-General and the Philip Dine Commission. The President said today that tne negotiations which Secretary Bryan began yesterday with the diplomatic corps In regard to China had not ma- ured, but that an announcement could be expected shortly. Foreign Governments May Walt. He talked to some of his callers about the constitutional assembly, which meets next Tuesday, declaring that he believed it would be a genu inely representative body, which would formulate a stable government. Inti mations had been received here earlier! that some of the foreign governments were disposed to wait until an election was held In China and the processes of constitutional government estab lished. The United States, however, had do elded upon recognition, and its diplo matic energies are bent now In the di rection of persuading the other pow ers to take the same step on Tuesday. Portland Chinese Appreciative.

If the proposed commission charter is adopted by the voters at the May election, the powers of the Municipal Civil Service Commission will be so Increased that It will be possible for that body to pass upon the punish ment to be Imposed upon city officials If It la found they are guilty of charges preferred against them. This Is the declaration of John F. Logan, a memj ber of the commission. At the present time." said Mr. Logan yesterday, 'it is possible only for the commission to confirm charges or find the person charged not guilty. The commission cannot reduce a penalty imposed by a lower commis sion or board. The proposed change Is good thing. We have oases many times, where employes deserve a reprl mund. but do not deserve being ousted from the city's service. Regardless of this the commission is powerless and to keep a msn In the service must find him not guilty of charges brought I believe the commission shotjld have the right to decide upon the penalty to be imposed."

Rifle Wounds in the Balkan War. (February Popular Mechanics.) Wounding an enemy in war is better than killing him. for unless he Is rap tured it Imposes on his side the bur den of taking car of him. The Balkan war has again proved that the bullet of the modern high-power rifle with Its terrific speed will go straight through a man. penetrating the most vital or gans, without killing him: and it has been found to go through from four to six men. one behind the other. This puts them out of the fight, but at the same time it la a good thing for the fighter, for it gives him a far better chance for his life. j school debate last night with a score of seven points out of a possible eigni on the Question, "Resolved, mat me resi dent of the United States should be elected for one term only of six years.
