TWO PRESIDENT THRILLS A GREAT AUDIENCE Advocates Modernizing of Prin cioles Declaration of In dependence TALKS ALSO OF THE STRUGGLING MEXICANS President Says 85 Per Cent, of Mexicans Never Had a “Look In’’ at Their Government. Philadelphia.—Advocating the mod ernizing of the Declaration of Inde pendence by applying its principles to the business, the politics and the foreign policies of America, President Wilson today thrilled a huge crowd assembled in Independence Square within a few leet of where tlie origi nal Declaration was signed. The president touched on Mexico, the Panama tolls repeal controversy, bis anti-trust, program, busin ss con ditions and his ideas of modern pat riotism. Pounding his fist on the table on which the Dec.a ration of In dependence was signed, ho declared Americans today must manage their affairs In a way to do honor to the founders of the nation. There are men In Washington today, he declar ed, whoso patriotism Is not showy, hut. who accomplish great patriotic things. They are slaying in hot Washington doing their duty, keep ing a quorum in each house of con gress to do business. “And I am inlghty glad to stay there end stick by them," he added. Touching on business conditions of the country, President Wilson said a great many allegations of farts were being made but that a great many of those facts do not tally with each other. "Aro these mm trying to serve their country or aomething smaller than their country?'' the president Belied “If they love America anil there in anything wrong It 1b their business to yui th.-lr hands to the tuek and net It right. Eighty-five per cent of the Mexican people, the president said, in touch ing oti Mexico, never have had a right to have a “look in” on their govern ment or how the other fifteen per cent were running It. "I know the American people have a heart that bents Tor them as It beats for other millions.'’ Mr. Wilson continued “I bear a treat deal about the property loss In Mexico and I regret that with all my heart, but hark of it all Is a Struggling people. Let us not forget that struggle In watching what Is go ing on In tront.'' "1 would ho ashamed of the flag if *e did anything outside thU; country which we would not do in It," th* preal rent declared Speaking on Panama tolls, tha president tald the tioa > with Eng iand might be a mistake but Us mean ing cannot tie mlstakeu and he bs lleved In lieepVilg the nation's ohllga tolns He believed in keel ing the name of the United States uikjucs tioned and unsullied. Panic Threatened. Before the president got his speech well under way the crowd surged for ward In auch contusion that a panic was threatened Two companies <d marines and sailors stood before the speaker's stand and Mr Wilson /as forced to stop several times but final ly the crowd was brought under con : trol. On ths raturn to the station the president was tumultuously cheered. As the train drew out a large crowd rlspped and cheered while the presi dent ou the observation platform of bis ear bowed and smiled. The pres idents address follows In part : “We are assembled today to cele brate the 138th anniversary of the birth of the Fulled States i sup pose rsn more vividly realise the ; rlrcumstaneas of thst birth standing! on this historic spot than It would buj I ossllde to res 1 1 re it anywhere else "Haie you cier read the Dsclsra I tion of ladspcndenca?

If they iove America and something is wrong, It is their duty to put their hands to the task of setting t right Experience Not Refreshing. “I have had some experiences in the last fourteen months which have not been entirely refreshing. It was universally admitted that the hanking system of this country needed re-or ganization. We set the best minds we could find to the task of discover ing the best method of re-organize tion. We xnet hardly anything hut resistance from the bankers of this country, or at least from the majority of those who said anything. And yet, just as soon as that Act was passed, on the very nexl day there was an universal chorus of applause from the bankers of the United States. Now If it was wrong the day before it was passed, why was it right the day after It was passed? "The department of state is con stantly called upon to hack up indus trisl enterprises of the United States ii foreign countries; and it at one time went so far In that direction that all its diplomacy was designated as 'dollar diplomacy, ’ Jt was for sup porting every man who wanted to earn anything anywhere If he was an American. There is no man more in terested than I am In carrying the enterprises of the United States all over the world. I was interested in it long before I was suspected of be ing a politician. Hut there Is a limit to (hat which lias laid upon us more than any other nation in the world. We set up this nation and we propose to set It upon on the rights of man. We said Independence Is not merely for us, hut for everybody to whom wo can find I lie means of extending it. "I sin willing to get anything for an American that money can buy ex cept the rights of other men. I will not help any man buy a power lie should not exercise over his fellow being.

Do you suppose that curcumstance is not sometimes In my thought? 1 know ttiHt. the American people have a heart that will heat just as strong for ihfisc millions In Mexico us it will beat for any other millions anywhere else in the world and when they once know what is at stake in Mexico they v\|ill know what ought to be done la Mexico. Property Loss. “You hour a groat deal about the property lows in .Mexico and 1 deplore it with all my heart. Upon the con clusion of the present disturbed con dition In Mexico undoubtedly those who have lost properties ought to be compi minted, but buck of it all Is the struggle of the people and while we think of the otio In the foreground let us not forget the other In the background.

"I am confident when the truth is known no jury will convict me,” said Stokes in his cell tonight. “I did not want to kill the man- and acted under great provocation. At the time of the homicide it was either his life or mine.” Stokes is 45 years of age. his wife IS, and they have a baby about six weeks old. ~ .

Former Secretary of State For Madero to Be the Man, Says Unofficial Advises. ▼ , - / T~ > HUERTA IS NOW READY TO LEAVP Hi 1 Will Probably go to France. Hope for Settlement Be tween Carranza and Villa. Washington—Unofficial advices have reached Washington that Pedro Las curain, formerly secretary of state in Madero’s cabinet, would be chosen to morrow to succeed general Huerta as president of Mexico, and that Huerta, resuming his former post as chief of staff of the army, would be dispatched to a foreign post, probably France. It was admitted that voters in to morrow’s election would be few, only those residing in the district of the City of Mexico participating. Candi dates for the presidency, besides Las curain, were said to be Generals Re fugio Velascez and Garcia Pena. Who ever might be elected was reported ready to turn over the presidency to a provisional government, and General Huerta was reported willing to leave the country—thereby saving his face. According to word reaching Wash ington, General Huerta is prepared to leave and arrangements virtually have been completed for Laseurain to be elected. / It is reported the principal reason Huerta is ready to depart is that he wishes to save his family. A vessel is said to be waiting at Puerto Mexico to take them on board. What effect tomorrow’s election will have on the mediation plan to induce constitutionalists to meet Huerta dele gates in conferenec over a provisional government is not known. The in ference is given here that Laseurain, if elected, would agree to a provisional government, provided constitutionalist leaders predominated in its personnel That would end the war in Mexico. The success of this plan, it was said, depended much on the outcome of the Torreon conference between represen tativesof Carranza and Villa over differences in the constitutionalist ranks. Carranza agents in Washing ton were confident the conference would result in an amicable adjust ment and that the constitutionalist forces in future would present a unit ed front against the common enemy. Dr. Romulo S. Naon, minister from Argentina, and one of the mediators in the Mexican situation, who reached Washington Saturday, said he expect ed to confer today with Cgrranza’s Washington agents relative tb the pro posed conference between constitu tionalist agents and representatives of General Huerta. Rafael Zubaran, Luis Cabrera, and other constitutionalist agents in Washington asserted last night they expected no definite word from General Carranza about the pro- ■ posed conference until Monday. AGREEMENT IS NOW REPORTED Believed That Generals Car ranza and Villa Have Under standing. Torreon, Mexico.—That General Car ranza is chief of all Constilutionalist forces and that General Villa is chief of the north was the preliminary agreement arrived at today by the joint commis sion in session hero to adjust the situa tion created by Carranza's refusal to supply coil and ammunition needed hy Villa to continue li is campaign on ilia City of Meixco. This is regarded as the Lmsis on which the conference will conduct future negotiations. 1 MORE DEATH FROM PLAGUE Additional Measures Taken to" Cope With the Situation in New Orleans.
