UNITID PKKHg I.IASED WIUB. Washington, April 4. That the seiz ure and holding of Powell Roberts, an American, citizen, by General Orozco, 'commander-in-chief of" the reble forces In Mexico, may precipitate ln I terventlon by the United States gov ' ernment In the Mexican trouble, Is In dicated here today In the action of the state department in instructing I United States Consul Edwards, at ! Juarez, to notify Orozco that Roberts I must be returned to American soil, or Orozco will have to deal with American troops. It Ib believed General Orozco will ,heed this warning. If he refuses, trouble Is feared. Privately, state de ' partment offlclnls here admit that the Roberts affair may precipitate Inter vention. Because of the refusal of the United Stateg to recognize the Orozco govern ment, the problem of how to get Rob erts back Is a delicate one. Techlncal ly, President Madero Is responsible, but he Is at present powerleBS In the state of Chihuahua. Therefore, the ! department has decided to break the precedents In such matters by holding Orozco responsible directly. No word has been received here ai to the fate of 50 Americans reported to have been seized In the stnte of Chihuahua. o PRISONER HAS RIGHT TO NAME HIS MEDICINE In view of the fact that Utah 1b to have Its first hanging during a per iod of 17 years, Deputy Sheriff Shet ler Is here to study the construction of a scaffold and today vIMted the penitentiary for the purpose of study ing the one used there. Utah has a law which gives a mur derer sentenced to death the right to elect whether he will be hanged or shot. For 17 years straight, every man codenined to death has selected shooting In preference to hanging. The last murderer, however, sen tenced to death, baa Indicated hang ing as a preference and that makes necessary the construction of a acaf fold.
