RECENT NOTES DISCUSSED department of Stat Declared "Or- gan- of Internal Politics Batber Than International.? BTJEXOS AIRES. April'. Joseph Shea, United States, ambassador ' to Chile, has answered the recent note ef Foreign Minister Huidobro of Chile rejecting Intervention by Washington In "the Tacna and Aries, ease or any ether," according to advices from San tiago. Mr. Shea's communication explains that the policy of non-intervention was incorporated In the policy of the United States many years ago and ays that the definition of the North American attitude as given by Secre tary of State Colby that the United States did not intend to Intervene in the present dispute or exercise pres sure "is perfectly in accord with my opinion." ' The ambassador's " reply disclosed that the report of the Chilean am bassador at Washington concerning his conversation with Secretary Colby was sent to Chile by wireless. Recent American notes to Chile, Bolivia and Peru are described as the "fruit of diplomatic Inexperience" by Xa Presna, which declares they do not reveal any "political plan that should alarm the South American con tinent or give Argentina any motive for suspicion." 17 S. Diplomacy "Crude." In its first editorial on .the .sub ject, the newspaper asked whether the notes "which affect the sovereignty of those states respond to a resolved policy according to which the United States constitutes itself Inherent pro tector of new world republics," and "what should be the attitude of Ar gentina." These questions are an swered today, the journal stating that It has a "profound knowledge of the functioning of the American state de partment" and asserting that depart ment "never cultivated a diplomatic mode of procedure and does not pos sess a diplomacy." It declares the de partment is "an organ of internal pontics, rather thah international." "Men of the United States," con tinues La Prensa, "have generally written on delicate international questions with the crudeness with which they treat internal politics." These antecedents induce us to think the form of the notes in question doee not respond to a political plan ef a continental protectorate which is contemptuous in regard to lesser republic They are an instance of in advertence and lack of diplomatic tact." Discussing the attitude of Argen tina, the editorial says: "The United States accepts all oc- . aasions for demonstrating her friend ship to Argentina. No motive exists then for suspicion or distrust. in our eountry as to the South American policy of that nation. Argentina's fu tore line of conduct should be such - as to lend influence toward concilia tion in conflicts between European countries and the United States in South America and support the United States in all attitudes which would assure peacefal solution of conflicts . and the prosperity of sister republics.'

Vassar, who lives at the Loom is apartments, is dead with a bullet through her heart. . Lewis, who was booked at the po lice station as a suspect in connection with the killing of the girl, insists that the police theory that he com mitted murder and attempted suicide is wrong and that he is innocent. According to the man's story, he lived near the Vassar family on a ranch In Madera county, California, and knew the girl since her birth. He admitted that she always held a strong attraction for him and that after he was discharged from the service he dbtained a divorce in the court of Judge Reynolds in Lewis, Wash., and came to this city.

He said that when he visited the girl in an apartment last night she shot him and that in an attempt to escape he- jumped from the third-story window.

He was taken to the recelying hos pital in charge of the police.

It was said that Lewis came to this city after obtaining a divorce and was determined to force his company upon the Vaeear girl, refusing to take "no" for an answer to his re peated requests to marry her. The mother, who came to the apartment a short time after the tragedy, while crushed with grief, was certain that Lewis, who it was said is half -Indian, became enraged upon again being re fused by the girl and ended her life, The mother was certain that the new revolver with which the crime was committed was never In the posses sion of her daughter. Little Knows, of Lewis. Police have been unable thus far to look completely into the records of Lewis, but have learned that prior to entering the service he had lived with his wife at Centralia and Ev erett. Wash. Efforts to get into com munication with the former Mrs. Lewis failed last night, and, aside from the fact that she failed to ap pear to defend her husband's suit for divorce, nothing is known oX the do mestic life of Lewis prior to their separation. Surgeons at the receiving hospital were of the opinion that the condi tion of Lewis tonight was critical and were making every effort to get a statement from him during his lucid Intervals. So far, he insisted that the girl was the aggressor and that he made no move to harm her. and claimed that if she was killed he had no knowledge of it as she was alive and firing at him when he made his escape from the apartments.

"If, however, the operators absorb the 14 per cent increase which be came effective in December," said the attorney-general, "there would be left only S96.OOO.000 to be ' passed on to the consumer. In this event the in crease In the price of coal at the mine should amount to 20 cents a ton. Mr. Palmer said he understood oper ators had estimated the demand for export coal would be 100,000,000 tons but that port facilities are only ade quate for the export of 30,000,000 tons per annum.
