Friendly But Firm Stand
Toward Matters.
President Wilson's personal repreaen

and la now at Vera Cruz awaiting
developments. General Thevine has
also been summoned to the capitol,
according to rumors, to be made pro
visional president, aa has General
Diaz, who recently started for Japan
aa special ambassador, been summon
ed to return to Mexico.
President Wilson resd hia. message
on the Mexican aituation before Con
gresa Tuesday. The policy of the
United States waa outlined and it la
stated that it met with unanimoua ap
proval. The message la one of friend
ship and not hostility.
The future course of tbia government
will be one of non-interference In the
hope that the effect of Ita present
efforta and the pressure of foreign
governments will constitute a moral
suasion that utlimately will bring
about peace In Mexico.
The message makes it plain that
there will be no lifting of the embargo
on arms ; that no faction or govern

receive munltlona of war from the
United Statea. If necesaary tbe presl

FOR WHITE SLAVER
M. Differs Found Guilty On
Four Counts In Federal
Court. '
Maury 1. Dlggs, former state archi
tect of California, waa found guilty by
the jury In tbe Federal court at Ban
Francisco of violating tba Mann act
which makea it a felony to transport
women for immoral purposes from
one state to another. There were sis
eoant in tba Indictment and tba jury
found a verdict of guilty on the first
four. Each count earrle a maximum
penalty ot five yeare and a minimum
of one year in the federal penitentiary.
Sentence will be pronoonoed Septem

at 15000 on each count, making a total
of I2U.00O in alL The defendant's
father and unci eupplled tba bond In
tbe arooot named, which were accept
ed. Counsel for tbe defenae immed
iately announced that they would
appeal to the hlgbeat court of tbe land,
and asked for ten daya in which to
petition for a writ of error to tbe
United Statea Court of appeals.
Tbere are but comparatively few
a a a. a aa a
men wno wouia nave voiea -no
guilty" bad they been aarvlng on that
jury, therefore there are few bnt will
acclaim tba verdict rendered as a jua t
one. It ia a complete vindication of
District Attorney McNab who resign
ed bis position because tbia white slave
eaae waa flrat postponed, and thereby
forced a prompt trial by exposing tbe
schema for delay and Ita motive.
The trial of F. Drew Camlnettl, an
accomplice of Dlgga, ia now proceed
ing in the aame ;court room In whiub
the latter waa convicted. Because It
waa proven that Dlgga paid tbe trans
portatlon ebargea of Mlaa Warrington
and Miaa Norria from Sacramento to
Reno, It ia expected, that If convicted.
Camlnettl will meet a lighter aentence
than will Digga.
