Police Guard Is Placed Around
American Club in Mexico City
as Precaution.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28.—A sensa
tion was caused this afterncon when
a police guard was placed around the
American Club. The order to guard
the club had come from high Govern
ment officials. Mr. O'Shaughnessy
said he was convinced the ordering of
the guard was a mistake, and on his
advice the president of the club re
quested the police to withdraw, which
they did.
There has been no indication of
anti-American feeling, but members
of the club think the Government
may have received secret information.
NOGALBES, MEXICO, Feb, 28—
(ieneral Carranza sent two messages
to Washington to-day in which he
denied the right of the United States
Giovernment to make any inquiry into
the killing of Williafh Benton, be
cause the latter was a British sub
ject and not an American,
On the other hand, Carranza prom
ises to make prompt investigation
and report on the disappearance of
(Gustav Bauch, the American who was
arrested at Juarez as a spy.
C'arranza characterizes himself as
the supreme head of the (‘onstitu
tionalists and the authority with
which all foreign nations must deal.
His message makes plain his position
that the United States can only treat
him him regarding matters relating tc
its own citizens. All _nations, he
states, will receive like treatment
from him.
General Carranza is expected to ar
rive at Sonora late to-night on his
way to Juarez. FKFrom there his jour
ney will be made overland. Carranza
will have a bodyguaed of 2,000 Sono
ra State troops. Accompanying Car
ranza, besides his Cabinet, are mem
bers of the commission sent him by
Villa to lay before him the details of
the Benton case.
PREPARE TO REVOLT.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-—Wearied
of the Administration’'s policy of
“watchful waiting,” non-partisan
groups of Senators are preparing to
revolt. With the firing of the first
gun next week sensational develop
ments are expected.
The Senators interesied declare
their belief that Secretary Bryan can
be forced into the enactment of a
definite Mexican policy. The imme
diate cause of the protests is the Ad
ministration’'s demand that no fur
ther news of outrages upon Americans
in Mexico be made public,
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, will
open the program. Next week he will
address the Senate on the MexXican
situation, quoting from messages in
his posession to show that Secretary
Bryan has repeatedly ignored the
claims. made upon him by Americansg
in Mexico,
Hundreds of documents showing the
Jaxity of the Mexican and United
States Governments in avenging mur
ders and other outrages are admit
tedly in the possession of Southern
Senators, but none of them will be
given out until the present British-
Mexican tangle is straightened out.
One Senzior called attention to the
fact that the State Department, af
ter making a demand for the arrest
at Juarez of the Mexican murderer
of the American, Hayes, let the case
drop. ‘
“Evidently,” concluded the Senator,
“the Mexicans have come to have an
utter contempt, too, for the concilia
tory advances of Secretary Bryan.”

'

WASHINGTON, Feb, 28-—George
W. Perkins was denounced as a
monopolist who had fostered combi
nations “in violation of honesty and
decency,” and who was responsible
for the “repulsive, inhuman and hell
ish” treatment of employees in an
open letter written him to-night by

favoring monopolles,
Discussing the reorganization of

“] am also.told that you were 2
member of the coterie of men who
organized and monopolized the trans
porwation of the New Haven ‘Railroad.
I have no means of knowing how
much vou got out of this, but I know
that the history of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford deal, as it
is mow reported and well authenti
cated, was in violation of every prin
ciple of decency or honesty and of
the laws of the country. It was &
similar transaction to the action of
the, man who holds me up in the
street and takes my purse.”
Senator Borah called attention to
the condition of laboring men in the
Steel Trust, as follows:
“The report oi the Senate commit
{ee on the matter is sufficiently shock
ing to startle the most callous mind.
It discloses that mea were working
seven days a week, ten or twelve
hours a day and eighteen hours on

labor, this was nothing less than in
