ST. LOUIS'. Aug. 16 "Iiiter-
vention in Mexico seems neces
sary today. The United States
can no longer tolerate the con
fusion and disorder in our nei
ghboring republic," declared
ex-President Taft in an inter
view. "I'm in favor of peace but not
in this foolish sense of security
without foundation." said Taft.
"Today it looks as if the t'nited
States must Intervene In Mexico.
This will require 2r,0.000 soldi
ers. At the time I left office I
was considering a plan to recog
nize Huerta. In my Judgment
this country made a mistake
when it ousted him."
WASHINGTON-. Aug. 16. Carranza
will not attempt to prevent the trans
mission of th Pan-American peace
appeal to the various Mexican leaders
and governors and to Diplomatic Ag
ent Parker, it.aras reported, to the
state department from Mexico. A reply
to the note was reported to be enroute
to Washington. It was said to be fa
vorable. Carranza's answer is not expected
before Saturday. Reports declared
that Carranza might call a conference
of his commanders to frame a Joint
reply to the communication. Military
operations are expected to be suspend
ed during consideration of the peace
appeal.
While the success or failure of peace
hinges largely upon Carranza's atti
tude. Secretary Lansing and the Latin
American cum fees do not proposed to
proceed with the second step of the
plans if he should reject the proposals.
If enough Mexican leaders reply fa
vorably to the note, another commun
ication will lie directed to Carranza
calling his attention to the fact that
everybody but himself desires Deace
and again urging him to aeree to a
conference with the other factional
leaders looking toward that end.
NEW YORK. Aug. 16. Carranza
positively declared In a message to
the I'nited Tress that the recent at
tacks on the Texas border were not
made by constitutionalist soldiers.

Accident Happens In Umatilla Rver

Swimming at the Time.
The first drowning accident of the

ler, a farm laborer In the employ of
Guy Wyrlck, lost his life in the waters
of a deep hole in w hich he and several
companions had been swimming.
The body has not yet been found
despite a constant search since the
drowning. The bWy is supposed to be
at the bottom of a deep hole thouith
it is thought not probable that It has
drifted under a rock ledge.
It Is supposed that Miller was at
tacked by cramps while swimming In
the deep water though the water was
very warm. When he began sinking,
one of his companions seized him but
was unable to save him. The alarm
was sounded at once and soon many
wero at the scene trying to recover
the body. Coroner Brown was notl.
fied and Joined the searching party.
He came back to Pendleton but re
turned to the riser this mornlnit to
resume the search.
The accident occurred about S:3D
yesterday afternoon about a half mile
below Barnhart station. There the
river Is almost without current and the
water is from 15 to IS feet In rt.mt.
I The spot has been used fnr i
rears as swimming hole by residents
OI
of that section but. because of the
leages under the water and the under
currents. It has been considered dan
gerous. The deceased man was about 30
years old and his home was In Spangle,
wnere relatives now live. They
have been notified.
