DIVIDED ON ~ SENDING OF ARMED ~~ FORCE INTO MEXICO Stas Pleads for Careful Con- sideration of New Mexico Senator’s Resolution. FALL ASKS QUICK ACTION Insists That Steps Such as He Proposes Will Prevent War With Neighbors. By Associated Press, WASHINGTON, July 22.—Senator Fall _of New Mexico today called up in the Senate his resolution for the protection of American citizens in foreign coun- tries. It refers to conditions in Mex- ico. Chairman Bacon of the Foreign Relations Committee demanded that it be sent to that committee, that its terms might. be carefully weighed. ' “Words are very serious things at ‘‘and this is one of the Senator Fall asked that it be passed at once, asserting that it was thoroughly “understood by every Senator. Senator Bacon insisted that the peo- ple of the United States were in a grave position of responsibility ‘‘at this time and. any enunciation of principle such as this should be thorotghly under- stood.” “Ab to whether this resolution -enunciates. the truth should not be dis- cussed, at this time,”~he said. “This is entirely a question of expediency.’ ‘Stone Favors Armed Force. Senator Bacon asked if the resolution did not mean that the United States should send an armed force into Mexico to protect American citizens. Senator Stone, reviewing certain conditions in Mexico, desired he would favor send- ing an a@ -d force.. Senat ae Williams maintained that a citizen © the United States had no con- ; stitutio’ 1 rights in foreign countries. ‘ ead - would have prevented, States of delay, hot wa wundér the Taft and Wilson administra- _ tions the State Department had told him papeatedly of constant diplomatic effort 3 y to secure protection for Americans and Amended, he thought, such a resolution ought to be passed “to strengthen the arm of the Secretary of State.” Sen- ator Works asked: “Are we prepared now to declare that this Government, as set forth in this resolution, is prepared to give full pro- tegtion to her cttinetas in rn: ll Reber praunse ts go -waaeem Mee: ied. I submit that before the Senate should be thoroughly and ‘se- viously considered.” Senator Fall, aroused by what he termed intimations from Senators that he Was. seeking to precipitate war with the resolution, made a stirring feply. Wanta to Prevent War. | “My sole purpose,”’ he said, “through- out this and the former administration has been to prevent war with Mexico. I urged the last adrhinistration to rea- lize the situation in Mexico and to act So as to prevent war. But matters have dragged on until now we are told the situation is so delicate that we should make a declaration of this broad. prin- ciple. The Senator from New Mexico is not responsible for conditions in Mex- ico. “kt is the delay, the failure of the administration to act, the failure of the administration to carry out its warn- ings to the people of Mexico, that is responsible for conditions that will con- tinue as long as this policy of delay ecntinues. | “We hesitate, as a republic, and right- fully so, to move to protect our citi. zens because of fear that it will pre- cipttate war. It is in your power at the present time to prevent war. If strong ection had been taken by this Govern- ment two years ago it would have pre- vented war. “A strong demand upon Madero or de la Barra would have prevented war. Protection of American citizens held for tahsom and killed at that time, ex- if necessary, instead of pre- cipitated war. This policy of the United in the hope that some- thing might happen, is responsible for tended through arms, _ the present situation.

William J. Sudhoff of 4157 Glasgow known to baseball fame for many years as “Wee Willie”. Sudhoff, once a star pitcher for the St. Louis ‘Browns, is in the observation ward at the city hospital, violently insane. Phy- sicians believe an old injury to the head is responsible for his condition and relatives recall that he was hit on the head by a pitched ball in 190 and was _badly hurt.’ Put Into a Padded Cell. Sudhoff became violent Monday night and his wife telephoned to the police. It requirer the strength of two patrol- men to overpower him. At the hospita’ he was put into a dark padded cell to prevent him from injuring himeelf. Sudhoff continually calls to everyone who comes within sight, saying he was a professional ballplayer and that he will give $5 if the stranger gets him out. Mrs. Sudhoff told the physicians her husband for the last three months has acted queerly. She said that Monday evening he put on his old baseball suit and cavorted about the yard, talking continuously about playing with the Browns. Sudhoff has four children, Emmett, 11 years old, Evelyn, 10, Willee, 7 and Harry, 2. Willee is a girl. Sunday - evening Sudhoff and several other men in the neighborhood pitched horseshoes. Sudhoff suddenly left the game and ran to the porch of 4153 Glas- gow avenue, where lb5b-year old Ethel Felhorst was sitting. ° Neighbors say he caught hold of the girl and tried to drag her from the porch. He then ran to the front steps of 4157 Glasgow avenue and made threat- ening movements toward Mrs. Anna Fuhrig. He was quieted and induced to go to bed. | Monday night Sudhoff's . brother Henry, visited him at his home. They were talking in the front yard when Sudhoffi in Padded Cell Made Insane by Injury Furt on Plead When a r Pitcher BILLY SUDHOFE took him. to take him to the hospital.

At that time it was ,be- lieved his superb twirling would win Policemen then were called the pennant for the Browns, but to- ward the end of the. season the team “cracked’’ as the baseball writers say today and his fine work went for nothing. Sudhoff also was injured in a railroad wreck in 1994, when the Browns were on their way to Cleveland. Those who recall that incident, however, say they do not believe he received a blow hard enough to cause a permanent injury. The baseball injury at the time was not considered serious. ‘“‘Wee Willie’’ was stunned, but he recovered and fin- ished the game. President Hedges of the Browns and others of Sudhoff’s teammates recall an eccentricity that developed shortly after the wreck.

BALTIMORE, July 22.—A® piece of about 5 years of age, stolen from the National Museum~ at Athens 15 years ago, and said to be of priceless value and 3000 years old, was recovered by the Baltimore police today. The figure was dug up in the cellar of Charles Nemphos, a Greek confectioner at Hampden, a suburb. Search for the bust was instituted here yesterday, following a visit of Dr. Alexandre Vouros, the Greek charge at Washington. Dr. Vouros unfolded to United States District Attorney John Philip Hill the story of the disappear- ance of this gem of Grecian art, of the efforts of European governments to re- cover it for the past decade and of clews involving a Baltimore Greek. A search warrant was issued and the bust was found. Subjected to “Third Degree.” It was only after Nemphos had been subjected to a “third degree” quizzing by the detective ldsting all night that he finally broke down and pointed out the spot where the bust was buried. Under his direction the officers un- earthed the head of the figure, broken fuls of earth were upturned and the bust was revealed. | “That's gJl,"" said Nemphos with an audible sigh of relief. “I'm glad you got it.” The trelic was taken charge of by the police and Nemphos was locked up on the charge of receiving stolen goods. According to Nemphos, he came into countryman as security for a loan. This. man said it came from Athens and ‘‘was worth much money.”” Nemphos said he buried the figure because he was afraid it would be stolen. The information which led to the re- covery of the bast was furnished to the Greek Legation by a relative of Nem- phos, with whom he had quarreled. is am Archaic Dr. Vouros was notified in Washing- ton of the find by telephone.

The petition, which has beéhn drawn up preparatory to filing in the Circuit Court at Clayton, alleges that Boogher, March 38, 1902, bought a share of the cap- ital stock of the club, for which he paid $100. This share entitled him to enjoy the clubrooms and grounds, subject to the provisions of the by-laws, one of which was that he must pay $60 in an- nual dues. In 1908, Boogher alleges, the club was finally embarras:ed and he and 24 others each gave $900. The gift was made on condition, he said, that it gave to the donors life membership and released them from all annual dues. This contract was observed until re- cently, the petition continues, although there have: been increases in the origti- nal annual rate of $60. He said he was notified he owed various accounts.

CHICAGO, July 22.—Despite the fact that his financial condition is such that he is lecturing to augment his salary of $12,000 a year, Secretary of State Bry- an ‘“‘stood treat’’ here for a quartet of newspaper men who met him at a rail- road station. He was en route to Oel- wein, Io., where he will lecture tonight. Bryan wanted a cantaloupe, and one of the reporters suggested that they served nice ones at the Congress Hotel. The Secretary demurred and pointed out a dairy lunch directly across the street. “T used to get good meals in such places when I first came to Chicago,” the host said. Of course the reporters couldn’t “look a gift horse in the mouth.”’ So the Sec- retary led the way into the lunchery and the party.of five perched upon stools. Three reporters took cantaloupe and one buttermilk. “I expect to reach Washington Fri- day,’ said the Secretary in parting.

An argument concerning a black cat, called “Tom,” between the employes of the French Electric Co., 122 North Sec- ond street, and a woman, who in pass- ing, saw the cat and asserted she owned it resulted in the woman being arrested and sent to the city hospital for observa- tion. Early in the year the cat wandered to the electric company’s’ plant. He has remained there since and has become a favorite among the employes. Tuesday morning thé woman saw the cat on the sidewalk and leanjng down to pet him, said: “Oh, you little rascal.”” ‘“‘Tom’’ did not seem to be in a humor to be pet- ted by strangers and ran into the office. The woman followed and tried to catch him. The superintendent of the com- rany, Wiiliam Gerstner, stopped her. She cried: “I want my cat.”’ She said ‘‘Tom’’ had‘ been stolen from her home three weeks ago. He told her the cat’ had been around the place since the first of ‘the year, but she continued to insist he was her cat, declaring she had recognized him and he had recog- nized her by raising his paw to her.

Phipps, formerly the: wife of Lawrence Phipps,: the steel man of Pittsburg ‘ahd Denver, and ‘Ed- ward E. D. Powell of Denver,’ who arrived from Hamburg on’ the samé ship, appealed to the press to deny a report that they had been miarried. Powell explained that ' he mét Mrs. Phipps at'a house’ party in: London, on his return from a visit to South Africa. Learning that she ‘was = to sail for the United States on the’ same steamer he had chosen, he made her stateroom reservation, and as both were late in booking passage, their names did: not appear on;the passen- ger list. They were together moré or less on the way over, which’ gave rise to the report that they had been married. On arrival -here- Powell looked after her baggagé and it’ so happened that they stopped at the same hotel. - At the time of her divorce it is said that $750,000 had been ‘settled upon Mrs. Phipps with the provision that she was to’ lose the income of $500,000 should she marry again. Mrs. Phipps was the second wife of the steel magnate, and they separated six years after their marriage. The suit was preceded by ‘the kidnaping of the two chudren from a hotel in Pitts- burg by Phipps in 192. He hurrted*té Denver with them and two years later won a decree. Mrs. Phipps did not con- test the sult. There have’ been many rumors of a reconciliation between Phipps and his former wife, but two years ago Phipps married Miss Margaret Rogers of Den- ver. It also was reported at times that Mre. Phipps was to marry A. Hart McKee, a Deriver physician, who is said tc have figured in the trouble: which tensibly to show them now ws ate the devices. 4 Legislative inquiry into chase of $1,000,000 worth of: machines by the county began when the Butts Cones resulted in the divorce.
