It is also true that the Mexican people, mindful, as it Is. of its sov ereignty, suffered a violation of sov ereignty in the occupation by Amer ican forces of the port of Vera Crux and the "punitive" expedition, which reached the heart of Chihuahua. Neutrality Declared Force. As regards the second point, not withstanding the pro-allied senti ments of the-thinklng classes of Mex ico, the country had to remain neutral during the great war because it was deeply engaged in its Internal prob lems and also because in no case could it have taken part in a sufficiently decorous manner. 1 The direct motives calling it to war were not sufficiently important, nor was its contingent of foroes.so largo to InTluence. even in an appwi;i .-.-. monnai. thA milrBfi Of the War. , From the time or tne aecianmun 4mr ni fiermanv bv the United States the neutrality of Mexico constituted another source of friction between th two countries, which foreign in terests were able to intensify to the maximum possible degree.

This table shows many inconsistencies wnicn not oniy uiscriminate against the inland states.- but show a lack of the proper classification of freight. For Instance, there is a rate of $1.05 on apples from' the Pacific coast to New Orleans as against 75 cents to Boston. The rate on apple to Colum bus, O. ; Indianapolis, Ind.; Lansing, Mich.; Lexington, Ky.; Chicago, 111., and Kansas City, Mo., from the Pacific coast is double that to Boston, or $1.66.

This would be the ideal state of the world under the rule now un fortunately, impossible of an imper turbable peace. But wars, which are plausible as crises of evolutionary de velopment, and deplorable for their methods of brutal violence, with re gression to inferior stages of civiliza tion, either when confined within the irontiers or a single nation or wnen they pass beyond its borders and in volve several nations, are factors that break down international concert. - All Relations Disturbed. They considerably disturb"" the com mercial and friendly relations among nations. This is the present status of the world, in which are included, with the special circumstances inherent to their contiguity, Mexico and the United States. The relations between these two countries are affected, first, as a re sult of the revolutionary convulsions which during ten years have dis turbed Mexico; second, as a result of the neutrality in which Mexico bad to maintain herself during the great world war. Let us examine briefly these two points. Civil war is the evolutionary and violent form produced In an un avoidable manner in all the nations of the world, whenever the gradual development, of the Institutions re mains behind their time in regard to necessities or the aspirations of a people. Relations Held Affected. Naturally, during the last internal war, as happens in all civil and in ternational wars, there were not ap plied in Mexico the moral and legal precepts corresponding to peaceful times, and the episodes of the latter could not have been better or worse than those of the European war. The Mexican revolution gave rise to Incidents which deplorably affected the relations between the two coun tries and of such not only the United States can complain, but also the re public of Mexico. It is true In fact, It could not be otherwise that sev eral American citizens have died and many hRve suffered damages in their properties as a logical conseauence of the state of war, and of inevitable or arbitrary acts of the revolutionary government, such as the attachment of the railroads and other private property, the temporary discontinu ance of payments of Interest on the publio external debt, etc. v Intense Campaign Cited. It Is nevertheless also true that in the United States the Interests injured by the Mexican revolution, or those fearful of it, carried out an Intense i slon of the free will of its people, endeavors to carry out Its high pur poses. It energetically maintains the national tranquillity, beginning not with soapbox oratory, but with real and tangible facts, 'a policy of just reparation for the damages caused by the revolution and for the mistakes of former governments. What is lacking, then, for the ful fillment of that beneficial and friend ly co-operation between the govern ments of Mexico. and the United States, so much desired by the inhabitants of both countries? That the American government, placing itself above the unwholesome tendencies, transitory characteristics and absurd impatience of a few material interests, do justice to the people and governments of Mexico by applying the traditional policy initiated by Jefferson in these memorable words: - , "According to - our principles, we must recognize as legal any govern ment constituted in conformity with the will of a nation, substantially constituted."

WRECKAGE RESULTING FROM AUTO SMASH IN WHICH THREE WERE INJURED. . 9 X," J ty ?sj 750- ; BKWAIXS tUT CAB WHICH CX3US OFF SECO.VD BKST IN COLLISION. SEATTLE, Wash., May 30. (Spe cial.) When James F. Mahoney, or his attorney, Lee Johnston, produces an old-fashioned, oval-topped, tin covered trunk, freshly painted, bound with a rope and weighing on the night of April 16, last, about 175 pounds, and then produces Mrs. Kate Mahoney whom he married last Feb ruary and have her declare that she gave Him a written order to open her safe depesit vault, the doors of the city Jail will open for Mahoney. So said Captain of Detectives Ten nant today in reply to thej suspected man's statement, made through his attorney Saturday, that "the trunk Tennant is searching for is not In Lake Union, and when it is all ex plained it will be a joke on Tennant." , Trunk Wanted by Police. Th Tennant -statement was the first formal admission by the chief Investigator of Seattle's alleged mur der mystery, aa to the character of the trunk for which grappiers nave been dragging and divers combing the bottom of the lake for the last week. The detective chief elaborated his idea when he saidi "All there is to this case is bound up In the production by Mahoney of the trunk and the woman whom he married last February. If he can pro duce the trunk as be intimates and If he can produce the woman and have her ay she gave him the order to open her vault, he goes free of the forgery charge on which be is held. Find Mrs. Mahoney. Is Advice. The trunk should be readily pro duced. If they know where lt is, as they say. Mrs. Kate Mahoney could be found If Attorney Johnston got busy and spent eome of the $231 we turned over to him, after it had been taken from Mahoney at the time of h's arrest, by telegraphing over the country in an effort to locate her, went on Captain Tennant. "With all these things so readily established, as Mahoney intimates, he would abruptly end an imprisonment that must be irksome to him." said the detective chief, who added: "He could get out and enjoy his wife's motor car and have a good time gen erally while waiting for her to turn up or while waiting to Join her, as he says he intended doing some time early in June." Hour ot Delivery Fixed. Captain Tennant would not admit the hour of alleged delivery of the supposed "murder trunk" to Mahoney aboard his boat, tied at 141S East North Lake avenue, the night of April 16, but through a chance remark dropped by another official of the police department the hour of the al leged delivery by an expressman was fixed at 11 o'clock. The police would like to know just at what spot Mahoney was supposed to have dropped the trunk Into Lake Union. This, admittedly, was the link not yet forged, else they wouldn't be searching Lake Union from the uni versity bridge to the Lake Washing ton canal portage. Divers tonight, were searching under a log boom! in front of a mill at the foot of Brooklyn avenue, later moving out, but confining their labors largely inshore. Marriage Held Unlawful. Captain Tennant alleged Mahoney was "unlawfully married" to Kate Mooers Mahoney. This information was conveyed in a telegram received from Chattanooga, Tenn., where a newspaper reporter discovered Ireife G. Ford Mahoney, the suspected man's first wife. This first advice was sup plemented with a more detailed state ment received this afternoon. That Mahoney is a bigamist and is a cruel sort of man was the state ment obtained from the first Mrs. Mahoney. Irene Mahoney said she was the only wife James E. Mahoney ever hed The fact that Mahoney was married again was a surprise to her, she said. She said that she had no definite knowledge that she and he had ever been divorced. Estate to Go to Nieces.

The estate would fall to nieces, Mrs. Kate Stewart of Van couver, B. C, and Mrs. Carrie Hewitt of this city, at present in Wenatchee, and to a sister of Mrs. Kate M.

Furthermore, Mahoney's power of attorney obtained, the police theory holds, through forgery, is an instru ment toe valid! tj- of which Is open to conjecture, said attorneys today. They pointed out that the instrument reads: "I, Kate M. Mahoney, wife of James E. Mahoney, do etc." "Thank God I escaped from him, exclaimed Irene G.
