PROUD OF RECORD Division Is Considered to Have Responded to His Or- ders with Remark ;. able celerity. the the By Associated PreK9. " Trenton. N". J., Feb. 26. Governor Woodrow Wilson warned members of the New Jersey legislature lust night that as president of ttfc. United States he would feel privileged to come back even as early as next week to fight be fore the people of the state for pend ing reforms. " Mr. Wilson resigned the governor ship yesterday to take effect Saturday. Both houses hardly had received his notice of resignation when the assem bly went on record by an overwhelm ing vote against" pushing the jury re form bill from first to second reading, This bin had been urged particularly by Mr. Wilson In his messages. It would take away the power to draw juries from sheriffs, lodging It with a commission appointed by the gov ernor. Mr. Wilson regards today's develop ments as a breach of party discipline. 1c believes, however, that the prln ciple of justice In this country Is at stake and he considers the Issue so vitul that he declared that soon after his Inauguration he might deliver sev eral speeches on this subject before tho people of northern New Jersey, most of whose aBemblymcn voted In effect against the governor. 'Yes, It looks as If the bill were beaten," said Mr. Wilson, ' but. It Is not dead yet. It Is perfectly well known thut the persons who are ex erting pressure on the legislature to defeat this bill are those who wl?h to control grand juries because they want to break the law, and the people of the state will understand that abun dantly before I get through with It." The president-elect said If the Jury reform bill were defeated he would consider that he was booked to Bpeak In the primary campaign next fall against assemblymen seeking renom- Ination who had voted against the measure. The governor's declarations caused flurry of excitement In political circles. By Associated Press. Constantinople, Feb. 26. The mis sion to London of Ibrahim Kakki Pusha on behalf of the Ottoman gov ernment has failed. His object was to persuade the powers to support the claim of Turkey to the retention of Adrlanople. He was, moreover, unable to prevail upon the powers to accept the porte's note as a basis for fresh peace nego tiations and he had no authority to go beyond the proposals contained In that document. Although some mem bers of the Turkish cabinet are in favor of peace, the war element shows no tendency to weaken Its attitude.' Military operations are still conllnnd to skirmishes at various points along the front. Fighting on any extended scale Is improbable for the present, owing to the inclemency of the weather. , ONE KILLED, OTHERS HURT WHEN BUILDING FILLS Collapse of Atlanta Structure Causes Runaway of Fire Horses.

Only aoj.noo the Mexican Treasury, Humeri Count by I Inert a tlov-r-rnmont Hliowa. By Associated Press. Mexico City, Feb. 26,The depart ure from Mexico nf Ernesto Madero, former minister of finance, was fol lowed Immediately by a hurrl counting of the cash In tha govern ment treasury. The result showed balance of 6(1.000. This amount, however, does not represent all Imme dlate available resources of tha new administration, aa there are varlou deposits In both local and foreitm bnnks which can be drawn on by th government. By Associated Press. Washington, . Feb. 26. With outlook of armed opposition to new provisional government in Mex ico reduced to a few small threatened uprisings by followers of the late President Madero, It Is the opinion of : administration officials here that chances for the use of the military arm to protect American Interests have greatly diminished. Concentration of troops at Galves- . ton will continue, but admittedly thS purpose now is principally to test tho workirg of the new system of army reorganization. Major General Car ter, commander of the second division, due to arrive in Galveston within the next 24 hours, will take the opportun ity afforded by the assembly of a com plete division of troops to put them through their paces, thus affording to the various regimental and brlgado commanders their first opportunity to direct the movement of the large bodies of men that would fall, to their command in time of war. If the complete division is assem bled In Galveston, at Texas City, about seven miles distant, and in the camp just opened near Houston before tho end of the present Veelti the military experts feel that they wilt have ac complished a creditable feat. "It is true that the movement appears to be very slow In comparison with the re markable mobilization of the allies In the Balkans. But as a matter of fact, such distances as that from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., and Fort Snelllng, Minn., to Galveston, would have greatly taxed the resources of the best European quartermaster department. On the whole, Secretary Stlmson feels very proud of the record made up to this point, when by the issue of a single order to Major General t ar ter, the second division commanners, the entire body of men was set In mo tion, whereas under the old plan the adjutant general's department was obliged to send hundreds of telegrams -to as many Individual commanding officers, all the way from major gen eral's down to a captain, to begin tho . mobilization. Under the new system, too, the quartermaster general had al- . ready assembled at the proper vlnt of embarkation all the supplies need ed for a campaign. Conditions In the north and centra! sections of Mexico are reported today not so satisfactory. A report from Saltillo Indicates that the governor of Caohmla has gone to resist federal, troops approaching from Monterey. Reports from Monterey say that the situation Is less encouraging In the northern states and the rebels are ac-, the In Conor?, Coahulla and San Luis Potosi. Consul-General Shanking reports that Mr. and Mrs. W. A. McLaren ar- . safe at Mexico City and that L. H. Coeley Is reported safe at Tamplco.
