Approved.
WASHINGTON, April IH.-Presi-dent
Wilson Hunks Admiral Mayo
was fully justified in insisting sharp
ly that the Mexico federals nt Tnin
pico salute (lit American flag as rep
aration, in addil'on to an apology,
for the arrest of a United States
navy paymaster and marines who had
;,otic ashore In buy gasoline.
He made (his cllnr in. what he said
tr callers toduy. He had an engage
ment with Secretary of Stnte Ilryan
for the latter part of tho afternoon
to go thoroughly into tho latest de
velopments in the Mexican situation.
Tnmplco Situation Kerlowi
Alt advices indicated that niiti
American sentiment nt Tnmpioo wns
growing. It was said tlmt neither
federals nor rebels showed a diso
sition to regard foreigners rights,
and Jo those of Americans lliey were
eseeinlly indifferent.
S far as President' HneffnV re
pudiation of his Tnnipico subordin
ate's action in arresting Americans
wns concerned, 'resident Wilson anil.
Seerclarj Bryan lind yet to decide
between themselves whether it was
sufficient.
Spain Protect Consider?
The president had "not fully con
sidered Spain's protest against its
Mibjectfc' expulsion from Torreon,
nnd it wns admitted in administra
tion eireles Hint it wns unlikely the
United Stntes cnu do much to help
matters. Genernl Villa was said lo
be determined 011 tho expulsions nud
Genernl Cnrrnnzn backed Jiim.
President Wilson this afternoon
approved the houso program to ex
pedite nnti-trust measures. Ho nlso
indorsed Hie consolidation into n sin
gle general bill of nil measures orig
inally advocated, except Iho trade
commission bill.
The president believes thero is n
general disposition on the part of big
business to force relinquishment of
the administration's (rust program
Ho also made it plain today that he
thinks that is the cause of the nu
merous stories that tho administra
tion intends to relinquish trust leg
islation. Such reports lie suid wero
baseless.
To Bush Trust Bills
The president said it wns ncees
snry to pnss tho triist bills ut this
session if tho party carried out its
platform. Ho conferred with Rep
resentatives Clayton, Carlin and
Flood, members of the house judic
iary committee, who are preparing
the bills. After the eoufereiieo it
was announced that the bills prob
ably would be ready soon for notion
by the full judiciary committee.
President Wilson snld this after
