I MEXICO IS SEEKING ? SIMULTANEOUS TRIBUTE AMERICA REFISES TO CHANUK VI tw President Wilson Says (ien. Huerta Must Accede to Original Condition*. Washington, April IT.?President "Wilson today flatly rejected Gen. Unorf.i'c en crcr<=.ctinn fnrn 'sitrui Iran eon ? Ill O Ol?{5??VWV?v.? - ? salute" t?> the American and Mexican "3ags, informing him thai the United Sta cs would insist on a literal compliance with the original demand o? Rear Admiral Mayo mode April 9th, in a written communication to Gen. Zaragoza immediately after the arres: of American bluejackets at Tampico. V The Washington government inform er Huerta that his wish for simultaneous firing of the salutes was untenable and that a salute of 21 guns, as demanded by Rear Admiral luayo, would be insisted cn, the manner of returning the salu;e to be left to tfhe American admiral, who had agreed to sire one to the Mexican flag. Naval precedent slbowed no "simultaneous salute'' ever had been fired in apolo, sy for aa offffense. i Vrw r<?r>lv tn thp last Americaa note sransmit:ed through Charge O'Shaugiinessy had been received up to late today, and no orders to the American war fleet to slow down or turn back had been issued. Administration officials considered, however, the main point at issue?>;he exchange of salute ?had been settled. They regard 1 HuertaV "haggling over details," as B one official expressed it, as not likely io prevent an adjustment of the coniroversy. They believed the crisis was over, out on me ouier iiauu, xu vic*> y of the kaleidoscopic changes of the last three days, said they would not | be surprised if the hitch over details became serious again. >ot to Huerta. The American government ft olds t&at when a 21 gun salute is fired to the Stars and Stripes .I'he salute in acknowledgement will be fired to the { tfag of the Mexican repulbic and not to toe Huerta administration or any government official. The navy department gave out the ~ext of Admiral Mayo s demand as | follows: i r"TMs morning an otncer ana squaa of men of Mexican militia forces arrested and marched through the I s:reets of Tampico a commissioned I officer of the United States navy, the f paymaster oi Dolphin, toge.her witii seven men composing the crew of the wlialeboat of the Dolphin. At the time of this arrest the officer and men concerned were unarmed and engaged in loading cases of gasoline which had i been purchased 011 shore. Part of the ' men were on shore, but all, including j :he man or men in boat, were forced ; ' io accompany armed Mexican forces. "I do not ne'ed to tell you that tak-1 ing men from a boat flying t'he United i States flas: is a hostile act, not to be excused. I "I already have received your verbal message of regret that this, <even: lias happened and your state- j ?neiit that i; was committed by an ig- j norant officer. "TThe responsibility for a hostile act oan not be avoided by the plea of i ignorance. Demands Apology. "In view of the publicity of this i occurrence, I mus: require that you i send by suitable members of your j staff formal disapproval and apology for the act, together with your assur- ! ance tha* the officer responsible for it will receive severe punishment. Also that yc-u publicly hoist the United 4 States flag in a prominent position on shore and salute it with 21 guns. The { salute will be returned by this ship, ft "Your answer to this communica- j W Tinn should re^vh me and the called! for salute be fired wir~:'\ 24 hours! from 6 p. m. this date." Secretary Daniels a few days ago | said Rear Admiral ;Mayo himself i modified his demand somewhat, say-' ing he would net insist on having the salute fired while the American flag was hoisted cn Mexican lerritory and j would be satisfied if :he salute was tD the flag "in a conspicuous place" either on the mast of the Dolphin or a Mexican gunboat. l~ere was much discussion about the propri-ty of returning Huer;a*s salute because of navy regulation Xo. 1194, which reads: "No salure shall be fired in h?nor of any nati:n or of any official of any nation not formally recognized by the $ government of the United States." In explanation of this point, Rear Admiral Fiske, aide for operations, issued the following sta'emeat: 'Tv's regulation is interpreted as a prohibition against firing a salute in honor of any government which has recently come into being, or in honor oi' any official o: such government. if i Iia.cs nut been formally : -cog .ized | by our government. Any such salu e wjuld be considered as a recognition j i that government: and in order to ! escape frun the consequence of such j apparent recognition it would become I necessary for our government forma 1' ly to disavow it. Fired Admiral Too. "In Rear Admiral StaiKOn, IT. S. X.. made me mistake of saluting J the flag of Rear Admiral -Mello, who : was in revolt against the Brazilian j government. The Brazilian govern| ment complained :o our government, j which promptly disavowed the salute 1 and relieved Admiral S anton from i command. Paragraph 1194 is not interpre ed j a- prohibiting the firing of a salute in I 11 -> r> , f onv nut-inn rvt' \Vftir?h f'f.A I L M,11J liu V-/ i- ?? Xivu W?'V govern men i has merely passed fiom the hands of certain individuals to the hands of other individuals, even though our government may 210: have recognized the new individuals. For instance, our ships in entering Mexican ports have saluted the ports a<;d the salutes have been returned. This salute is considered merely as in lioncr 0:' the sovereignty of the rer.ublic of Mexico, and no: in 'honor j of any individuals who may have gotI ten control of the machinery of the government. The salu:e are national salutes and not personal salutes. It was pointed out latter that the colors of Admiral Mello were not the Brizilian flag, but the flag of rebellious forces.'' Secreary Daniels said he had consulted the general naval board, who unanimously agreed that in all cases where salutes are given they muse be returned". Mr. Daniels spoke of the fact that Mexican gunboats, even though in the possession of the . unrecognized Huerta government, 1 "'ava 1 n f no Coa/l A llVOT* I VI ^ CPIUltU ?* paoouu iiiUV i , ican warships. He referred, too, to ! thl recent visit at New Orleans o-f a } Mexican gunboat, which was not saluted by the shore batteries. The war department inquired of the navy de! partment at that time about prece| dents, and the army officer in charge i at Xew Orleans was advised to re! turn the salu;e. i Thinks He Has Yielded. The difficulties which arose over : Huerta's request for a simultaneous I salnto nipafprl a situation of uncer i tai-.ty and unrest. Many high officials considered that Huera had yielded the essential psint and mere1 ly was trying to adjust the con(troversy s) that his dignity would not I be lowered. i j At the cabinet meeting the situation ! was only briei'y discussed. That the incident was no: considered closed was indicated, however, by t::e change in plans which both the president and Secretary Bryan made. The president will not go to White Sulp.iur Springs, \Y. Va., until tomorrow night, and Secretary Bryan will not go to Fl:rida u-V.il the whole question is adjusted. Just when the salute will be fired i: an agreement is reached is conjectural. Many officials think most of ilie ships of the Atlantic fleet will be at Tampico when the salute is fired. Secretary Daniels said the orders given to Rear Admiral Badger merely were "to proceed to Tampico." At the capitol asain today the C\Iex ic-an situation overshadowed pending legislation in interest. That Huerta must salute the American colors with 21 guns before Ameican cannon acknowledge the apology is trae sentiment of congress. There also is a growing feeling among senators and re\resentatives that there should be no further negotiating with Huerta; that Huerta should comply completely with demands o%f this nation or suffer the consequences. EXECUTION STAYED i rw. -?r t\:,i a? v i.ru ji, riituiv inu uaug \>II t iiuaj ?Two Motions To Save His Life. Atlanta. April 16.?Execution of Leo M. Frank, the young factory superintendent, sentenced "o be hanged tomorrow fee the murder of Mary Phaga:\ 14 years o \ was stayed by legal action today. Two m tions were filed by different sets of attorneys in an effort :o savv the lite of he defendant, who is the cor ral figure in a case that has caused national comment. One was the : annulment of the guiltv verdict oil % the ground ua? the :rial judge -.rred j in allowing Fra?k to be absent from , the cour: room. The other asks for a new trial ;j the ground of newly discovered evidence. Arguments on both motions, which j were filed in the superior cour:, will ; be heard by Judge Hill on April 22. i This action o: the court automatically stays the hanging of Frank un:il final action is taken, on the two motions. Violation of :.'ie United States Oousitua'ion is claimed, by counsel for the i ' defence in the action of Judge R an, . who ]>r sided at tin.' trial, in allowing Frank 10 bo absent f'oni t'iie court i room when rho verdict was re urned.' It is believed this ploa will c ntitut? the basis <;f an appeal to the supremo court of the raited Stales should ho i Stare courts finally decide against a now hearing. Hnt:nn for \lillllllllOllf. ; The motion for th<> annulment of the I verdic" was filed by attorneys who'B heretofore haw not been connected I with thf defence. 1; raises the ques- I ! tion of the legality of waivers by both I ' t. e defence and prosecution which per- I mitted the factory superintendent to | be absent from the court room when ; the jury returned its verdict. Absence of the young defendant from I J he court room was agreed to by the j trial judge and two the three law-; vers then associated with the defence. ,1 ----- . _iL I : The third defence atrorney Knew nom- | ing of the plan, it is said. | ' i Judge R !a.\ presiding, is said to j have suggest d the absence, and the attorneys agreed, tearing violence to v i Frank in the event that a verdict of i acquittal was returned. The defence I attorneys also were absen.:. Denies Tliey Had Kight. The interpretation of tiie law, made ; in the motion to set aside the verdict,' | holds the defence counsel had no right i ' tr? a ?rpp tn Fra::k s absence at the, rendition of the verdict. It deprived Frank, the motion asserts, of his right to counsel at that: i time and deprived him of his legal i privilenge to be in the'court rocm. i j Relative to the agreement on Frank's absence at the time of the ver- j j die:. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, 1 1 chief of the State's counsel, issued the! I following statement today: ! "Under the promise of Frank's attorneys, R. R. Arrold and Luther Z. I Rosser. that 110 advantage would be ! tflkpn nf if. and over mv nrotest to the i judge against proceeding under that j promise, Judge L. S. Roan, of his own ! motion, permitted the accused to be ! absent from court when the verdict j was rendered.'' ! 1 ] ^ On the front of every carton and on the ^ ! qiPI A label of every bottle of the GENUINE y. % V sai( | DR.
