BAGON REBUKES MINORITY
Clark Resolution Declared
Openly "Disrespectful."
WILSON STILL IS . HOPEFUL
Recognition of Constitutionalists
Regarded as Certain if Huerta,
Carries. Out Threat to Turn
Deaf Ear to Lind.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. The Ameri
can Government was confronted tonight
by what official Washington regarded as
the most delicate-situation In Its rela
tions with Mexico that has yet devel
oped since armed revolution disturbed
the peace of the southern republic
The threatened rebuff from th Huer
ta 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 hostilities
and -an orderly constitutional election
in Mexico, drew from Senator Bacon,
chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee, a declaration on the floor of the
Senate today that the present situation
was "the gravest In years, much graver
than confronted us when the Cuban
question was here."
Wilson Shows Displeasure.
The President realizes the gravity of
the situation and manifested today his
displeasure at the attitude of some
members of the minority party in Con
gress, telling- callers that he , believed
certain Republicans would make it dif
ficult for him to handle the situation in
a peaceful manner. " 1
On this account Mr. Wilson Justified
tonight , the strong and emphatic lan
guage of Senator Bacon, who in a de
bate in the Setiate on the resolution 'Of
Senator Clarkj of Wyoming.- Republican,
demanding a general investigation of
Mexican affairs, had referred to the
rsolution . as openly "disrespectful"
tnd "flouting in the face of the Presi
dent" while 'the latter was endeavor
ing to put Into effect a peace policy,
"he resolution finally was forced off the
lay's calendar.
v Intervention Not Demanded,
; President Wilson was unmoved by
advices from Mexico City depicting the
Huerta government as -inimical to Mr.
land's mission. He' let it be known,
koo, that so far as he was able to learn
there was not the slightest, demand
from the American people for. inter
vention, and declined to discuss al
ternatives that might be used in the
rvent that the efforts of the Ameri
' tan Government to help restore peace
n Mexico were rejected.
The President is confidently hopeful
hat a peaceable solution of the Mexi
can trouble can be effected. He made
t plain to callers that until advised of-
ilcially to the contrary he would con
inue to regard as incredible the state
(nents. issued on behalf of President
iluerta declaring Mr. Lind's presence in
Mexico undesirable. While there is lit
tie disposition to doubt the veracity
Sf, the news dispatches describing th
attitude of the Huerta government
Kgainst Mr. Lind, there is hope anion
hther Administration officials that on
mature reflection no such intimations
will be conveyed formally to the Wash
(ngton authorities.
Credentials Omitted Purposely.
The President is known to hold the
opinion that the Huerta administration
would make a vital mistake to refuse at
this stage to receive an envoy from
the Chief Executive of the United
States. even though the emissary
lacked diplomatic status. Mr. Lind. it
was pointed out. purposely was sent
without credentials, so that he might
deal freely with persons of all sections
In Mexico who might inquire as to the
views of the Washington Administra
tion.
It Is expected an examination of the
purposes , of the Washington Govern
ment in sending Mr. - Lind to Mexico
will le made on his arrival in the
Mexican. capital. It is known that Mr.
Lind is expected to convey the earnest
wish of the United States Government
for a restoration of peace in Mexico
and will make his representations
largely through the Charge d'Affaires
of the American embassy. Washing
ton officials would be pleased, never
theless. It ne nan me opportunity to
talk -w ith Fresldent Huerta and. outline
in person the friendly, aims of the
American Government toward Mexico
Dennlte Plan Still Lacking.
Should the efforts' of the United
States be balked by open remonstrance
against Mr. Lind's visit, various sug
gestlons for procedure came from offi
cials. but none of thsm reflected any
definite plan. It was pointed out tha
it tne Huerta government refused to
teal with a representative of the Fresi
dent of the United States or turned i
deaf ear to his representation recogni
tion of the belligerency of the Con
stitutionallsts should follow as i
natural consequence.
The thing that hitherto has blocked
any movement to- recognition of the
Constitutionalists has been the realiza
tion tnat the American Government hv
such action would forfeit its right to

borer today received notice from the

many valued at $1,750,000. "'
Von Alvensleben became estranged
from his family and came to America

mitted that his pride had, prevented
him for 27 yars from accepting an
annuity of $20,000, which has been ac
cumulating in a private bank at Dan
zig. Germany.
When informed of his good fortune,
Von Alvensleben was employed at
menial labor a few miles from the city.

Von Alvensleben says that all his
friends are in America, and that he
will return when he comes into full
possession of the estate.
LAW LIBRARY TAX KILLED
Judge McGinn Says Clients Don't
Have to Educate Lawyers.
Circuit Judge McGinn declared illegal
yesterday the law which requires the
plaintiff in a suit or action to con
tribute $1 towards the' support of the
Multnomah Law Library Association,
which maintains a reference library for
lawyers !n the Courthouse,' and a de
fendant to contribute 50 cents for the
same purpose. The filing fee for a
plaintiff Is $10 and for a defendant
$5, but they are charged $11 and $5.50,
respectively, the difference going to
the library association.
Judge McGinn denounced this ar
rangement as unjust. The question
oame up in passing upon the cost bill
In the case of Edythe Hillenbrand
against Frank A. Clark, proprietor of
the- Clark Hotel, in which the plaintiff
recovered $145 for the loss of articles
from her room after she had intrusted
the key to the clerk. The Judge struck
the extra dollar out of the bill before
approving it.
. He declared it a "burning shame that
clients should have to pay for educat
ing their lawyers." f

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. Taking
of testimony was begun today in the
first of the Dlggs-Camlnettl trials, that
of Maury I. Diggs, former State Archl
tect.
The case was called Tuesday morn
ing In the United States District Court
on an indictment charging violation of
the Mann act popularly known as the
white slave law and ten hours later
the case had fallen Into the full swing
of serious business.
Just before court adjourned Judge
Van Fleet gave a ruling that struck at
the essentials of the case. F. J. Feck.
real estate dealer from -Reno, wliere
Diggs and F. Drew Caminetti, with
Marsha Warrington and Lola Norri;
were arrested, was on the stand. The
defense sought to show the bungalow
they occupied during their stay In
Reno had been rented with no view to
sequestration and concealment.
Secrecy Not Point In Case.
"I don't see," interposed Judge Van
Fleet, "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 purposes prohibited
by the Mann- white slave traffic act,
then the case of the Government fails.
Even if the women were' public pros
titutes, if tl- ' Jrendajit procured their
transportation, and accompanied them
there for immoral purposes, the case of
the Government would stand." , .
Theodore Roche, of special counsel
for the Government, set forth in the
closing hour of the afternoon sitting
that the prosecution would attempt, to
prove:
1. That Marsha Warrington and Lola
Norris, one 20 years old and the other
19, had been frightened by Diggs and
Caminetti, married men, with children,
into leaving Sacramento, lest a scandal
and criminal prosecutions follow.
2. That marriage had been prom

Mexican-Japanese Alliance Is
Denied Party to Arrive in
Portland Today.
ASHLAND. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.)
That he is the only logical candidata
for? the Presidency of Mexico at the
general elections in October, was the
assertion of General Felix Diaz on the
station platform, while waiting for his
trainto change engines here this after
noon. General Diaz, with a small party ol
followers, is on his way to Vancouver,
B. C, whence they will sail for Japan
on . what, Diaz says, is a mission of
peace.
I am the only person who can recon
cile the contending factions In the com
ing elections," said the nephew of tne
ex-dictator of the southern republic. "I
will be the candidate of the neV Lib
eral Democratic party."
General Diaz made it plainly evi
dent that he believed there could be ho
improvement in the situation in Mexico
until after the coming election.
"What about your mission to Japan?"
mas asked.
. "It is friendly," declared the General.
It has nothing to do with the alleged
Mexican-Japanese pact. That is mere
ly a wild rumor, an exaggeration."
General Diaz refused flatly to dis
cuss relations . between the. Huerta
government and the United States.

" The " FuTtiian "Larkspur" was re
served ior the Diaz party, which in-
eluded, in addition to the General and
Madame. Diaz, Senorita Maria Obregou,
Jose Romero, first secretary; Fidencio
Hernandez, second secretary: Victor
Manuel Valezquez, third secretary, and
other attaches, among them being Cap
tain Mendoza and Lieutenant Del Rio,
military aides.
General Diaz and several other men
of the party alighted when the train
stopped. They strolled about the plat
form, the General and Lieutenant Del
Rio registered at. the exhibit building
as hailing from Mexico City. Diaz
speaks fair English and writes a bold
hand, but this cannot be aid of sev
eral other members of his party. Some
of them conversed In gestures, and, as
a last resort, Charles Day, operator at
the train dispatcher's office, was sum
moned as interpreter..
General Diaz evaded apy direct ref
erence to international complications
between the United States a--4 Mexico.
Pnrty Changes Itinerary.,
- Jose Ramon, private secretary and
confidential adviser, is near to General
Diaz, and the two ' are inseparable.
Ramon watches every movement of hig
chief.
Rumors have it that there is a reason
for the several changes in the party's
itinerary. The Mexicans were sched
uled to arrive in Portland Saturday
afternoon instead of Friday morning,
"and they left San Francisco Wednes- -day
night instead of Tuesday night, as
at first announced.
At Los Angeles the party was con
siderably larger than the one which ar
rived at San Francisco, ani t is said,
the present following of General Diaz
will be somewhat reduced before tha
date of sailing for the Orient.
