Drew Caminetti for im moral purposes. While the women of the Diggs and Caminetti families sat as If stunned arrangements for ball were made and the Jurors went away. Some of them said It wan the story of Diggs himself on the stand that hurt his cause. "Cheer up, Maury,” said Drew Cam inetti, going up to his chum. "The fight is not over yet. Stop looking so glum." But young Mrs. Diggs wept silent ly, while the defendant's mother seemed about to faint. Diggs refused to comment on his conviction.

The resolution also declares it to be the sense of the Senate: That it has been the policy of the United States to maintain the Monroe Doctrine. That the United States recog nizes its responsibility under this doctrine. That there is internal lawless ness and warfare in Mexico. That the continuation of this condition will a add to the compli cations there.* That the first duty of the Unit ed States is to protect the lives and property of its citizens at home and abroad. That the extension of such pro tection will lessen the danger of foreign interference, *nd that it is not the policy of the United States to aid or assist any faction. The resolution explains that In sending troops into Mexico for the purpose of protecting American citi zens and their property there was no intent of hostility toward Mexico and that it could not be considered an act of war. Asks Money for Protection. Senator Penrose asked that the res olution lie on the table, as he did not intend to discus it to-day. He then introduced a proposed amendment to the first deficiency appropriation bill providing for'an appropriation of $25,- •000,000 for the protection of lives and property of American citizens in Mex ico. This money is to be available at any time up to July 1, 1914. Senator Pen rose asked that this amendment also He on the table. "American citizens in Mexico have their rights in international law and under the Constitution,’’ said Penrose. "Rather than appropriate a paltry $100,000 for the removal of these Americans from Mexico I would speni $25,000,000 to assure their safety and protection In Mexico." Owing to the seriousness of the Mexican situation, both Senators Ba con and Lodge of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee insisted that all matters pertaining to it should be referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. Republicans Protest. The resolution brought forth a storm of protest, chiefly from Repub lican Senators. w r ho said they thought the President was doing everything possible to better conditions. Senator Smoot said he was op posed to intervention, and believed President Wilson was doing every thing that could be done. Senator Bacon (Georgia) said that many Sen ators, including himself, restrained themselves with difficulty when dis cussing the Mexican slluation. Senator Fall, of New Mexico, urge- 1 , that not only the Senate, but the gen eral American public, be given more information as to the policies of the Administration and the exact situa tion and conditions in Mexico. "There is a growing sentiment in the United States of resentment,” said Senator Fall. “I believe the people should be informed rather than in flamed." Senator Penrose consented that the resolution he introduced on previous clays respecting the Mexican situation now be referred to the Foreign Rela tions Committee. He said he would be glad to furnish the Foreign Rela tions Committee w’tth the facts in his possession which prompted him la^t week to attack William Bayard Halo, a personal representative of Tresiden; Wilson In Mexico. Receiver McClelland Says He Ex pects to Give Depositors Prob ably 40 Per Cent.

Unless they are successful within the next week or ten days, Mr. Mc Clelland will ask permission from Judge Pendleton to declare a dividend early next month. At the same time he will ask the court’s permission to sell the assets. "I took charge May 27/' Mr. Mc Clelland said. “At that time deposits were about $57,000 and loans w r ere $86,900. I have collected $17,000 In cash, and persons with checking ac counts have paid $7,000 on their notes the bank held. Therefore, loans have been reduced $24,000 to $62,900, and deposits have been reduced $7,000 to $50,000. "I have $17,000 cash on hand against $50,000 deposits. By Septem ber 1 can probably pay 40 per cent. "I find an unexpected asset of about. $3,000 in the Bhape of accrued inter est which was not listed In the state ment of condition given at the time the bank closed. This will help con siderably. "If the court will permit me to sell the $62,900 In notes, the depositors can be paid in full at once. In any event, they will get all their money, but It may take a long time. "There are 1,500 depositors with $1 each.” . ALCOHOL 3^PER CENT.

RESINOL CURED ITCHINGECZEMA Year* of Suffering—Immediate Re lief. CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 2. 1913:—"About eight years ago my hands would get very red—then little blisters would come with pus in them. They would itch, and burn so that I could not sleep ;%t all. I used everything people told me about, and all kinds of blood treatments, but they did me no good. I wore out doz ens of pairs of rubber gloves, us ing them when working in water, and still the eczema stayed. "About three years ago I read about Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment, and at once bought some at the drug store. They gave me immediate relief, and after us ing two jars of Resinol Ointment and a cake of Resinol Soap, I can honestly say that my hands? are cured. It has been three years already since I am cured, and the eczema has not returned. I really can't say enough about Resinol.” (Signed) Mrs. Chas. P. Winchester, 3204 Carroll Ave. Better proof, even than such a letter, is to try Resinol yourself and see how quickly the trouble disappears.
