JAPAN M AY BE W ARNED.
Vigorous Resolution Reaffirming Mon­
roe Doctrine Expected.
Mexican Rebels in Superior Force In­
flict Great Damage.
Washington, D. C.— The vigor of
the terms that the senate shall use in
declaring that no foreign country shall
establish a naval base at Magdalena
Bay, or at any other point on the
American continent, will be the sub­
ject o f consideration by the foreign
committee o f the senate.
Within a day or two, it is believed,
the senate will be called upon to adopt
a resolution stating in unequivocal
terms that the Monroe doctrine or the
settled policy o f the United States
requires that no foreign power be thus
permitted to secure a military or na­
val foothold in the Western hemi­
sphere.
Senator Lodge, as chairman o f the
subcommittee that investigated the
rumor o f a Japanese purchase of 4,-
000,000 acres o f land on Magdalena
Bay, will make a formal report to the
foreign affairs committee, recommend­
ing that the United States reaffirm
the policy known as the Monroe doc­
trine in terms that cannot be misun­
derstood by any foreign power.
The senate investigation began as
the result o f reports that « private
Japanese syndicate was attempting to
control a vast tract about the Lower
California bay, long regarded as the
best naval base on the Pacific Coast.
The correspondence submitted to the
senate in April and May by President
Taft and Secretary o f State Knox in­
dicated that the United States had no
intimation that Japan, as a govern­
ment, was behind the attempted pur­
chase or that it intended to make use
o f the land as a military or naval base.
It is understood that the subcommit­
tee headed by Senator Lodge has
found no evidence o f the connection o f
the Japanese government with the at­
tempted purchase of the big tract of
land in Mexico.
To make the position o f the United
States clear, however, the majority o f
the committee will propose that con­
gress declare that this nation will not
permit, without a protest, the estab­
lishment o f any foreign power at a
point where it could threaten or en­
danger the safety o f the United
States.
The subcommittee consists o f Sena­
tors Lodge. Root, Sutherland, Rayner

HIGH LIVING S C O R E D .
Luxury Attacked By Senator
as Main Cause,
Burton
Washington, D. C.— Senator Bur­
ton, o f Ohio, explained to the senate
his opinions as to the cause o f the
present high cost o f living.
The
manifest and important causes, ha
said, were the “ phenomenal progress
o f recent years, the striking inequali­
ty o f this progress in different lines o f
human endeavor and the tendencies to
extravagance and waste and to dimin­
ish productive energy by a large part
o f the population.”
“ Neither the P»yne-Aldrich tariff
law nor any other similar measure
was responsible for the general high
prices,” he declared, “ for the varia­
tions in prices have been so very con­
siderable, both in the way o f increase
and decrease, as absolutely to disprove
any inference that the change in
prices has been due to the tariff of
1909 or to any other tariff act.”
He exonerated the “ trusts” and
“ large combinations o f capital,” de­
claring that a complete monopoly in
any particular article affords a chance
to increase its price, but that the
same result is apparent when separate
producers maintain an agreement as
to prices.
“ One o f the serious influences tend­
ing to increase prices,” he asserted,
“ is that of price agreements o f vari­
ous sorts. It was one o f the purposes
o f the Shcxman anti-trust act to pre­
vent practices o f this sort. However,
there can be little doubt that this
practice still continues.”
Another “ device” resorted to to
eliminate competition, he declared,
“ was that o f hiding behind the patent
right.” He referred to a recent Su­
preme court decision under which the
“ user o f a patented article may be re­
quired to buy supplies o f a certain
make and pay the price imposed.”
New Drug Law Proposed.
Washington, D. C.— A bill by Rep­
resentative Stanley to define more
specifically the terms "misbranded,”
as used in the pure food laws, was re­
ported favorably by the house com­
merce committee.
The measure
would make it illegal to sell any drug
under the nsme o f some other article;
make compulsory the printing of the
quantity or proportion o f alcohol, mor­
phine or other narcotics in drugs offer­
ed for sale and prohibit the printing
on labels o f false curatives and thera­
peutic claims.

American Citizen— Two Amer­

Mexico City—Two Americans have
been hanged near Cananea, Sonora,
presumably by Mexican rebels. Their
bodies were found Thursday and the
incident was reported immediately to
President Madero by the governor of
Sonora. The governor has [ordered an
investigation.
He believes the two
men were executed by rebels in order
to precipitate American intervention.
The victims have not been identified.
Juarez, Mexico — General Pascual
Orozco, commander4n-chief o f the
Mexican rebels, coolly declared that
he did not recognize the United States
government. He made the remark to
Thomas Edwards, American consul
here, who called at the rebel leader’s
headquarters to deliver a message
from Secretary o f State Knox.
The message from Washington con­
cerned the treatment of the American
settlers in Northern Mexico by the
rebels, growing out o f the disarming
o f colonists last week.
General Orozco told General Ed­
wards that he did not regard the
American as a representative of the
United States, which government,
Orozco said, he did not recognize.
However, he was glad to see Mr. Ed­
wards, he said, and to receive hirn as
an American citizen. Orozco accept­
ed the message from the American
consul without further comment. Ed­
wards then left the room.
