INFORMATION REFUSED BY SENATOR BACON Penrose Says unless Lind's "Mysterious Mission" Develops Results He Will Offer Reso lution. By Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 15 Senator Pen rose forced another debate on the Mexican situation In the senate today by 'introducing a resolution calling upon President Wilson to Inform the senate whether William Bayard Hale is In Mexico City as the agent of any executive department of the govern ment and if so by what authority he was appointed and what compensation ho has been given. The White House explanation of Hale's presence In Mexico has been that he was there supplying Informa tion as the personal friend of Presi dent Wilson. Senator Penrose declared that he had no desire tb further complicate a delicate situation or to indulge in Jin goism. He referred, however, to di putches from Mexico telling of the serious plight of Shirley C. Hulse, son-in-luw of Lieutenant-Governor Rey nolds of Pennsylvania, who with hip wife and little daughter are believed lo be In danger from revolutionists near the- city of Chihuahua. The sen ator declared that unless the. mission jnf John Und developed some marked change In conditions in Mexico he would address the senate next week, laying before it certain Information. . "Things ore getting pretty close to home," . declared Senator Penrose, "and are becoming serious when American citizens are molested and their lives and property endangered. Personally I am willing to wait a few days to seo if the mysterious mission of Mr. Llnd produces 'any tangible rtsult. In tio event that It does not early TvxL week I expect to address the senate on conditions In Mexico and will offer a resolution which, I hope, will so some way toward asserting the Dignity of the United States and its linn Intention to protect the lives and property of Americans In Mexico." Mr. Penrose asked Chairman Bacon of the foreign relations committee if he could reveal the status of Mr. Hale. "I decline to anser," replied Senator Uncon. "Declining to answer will not con tinue to be satisfactory to the senate or to the people of the country," re joined Senator Penrose. Attacks Ir. Hale. Senator Penrose said he had known Hale several years and that he left Aril more. Pa., about 1J years ago un der circumstances which ho need not "more than mention." "The sooner Dr. Hale's connectlom ore severed the better for the unfor tunate Americans now in Mexico," he concluded. Senator Lodge charged that me democrats were trying to treat the Mexican question us a party affair. His statement, made In bitter terms, followed a declaration by Senator Ba con, that "force meant war." "I want to support the president In every way on this Mexican matter," Senator Lodge said, addressing the democrats. "Ha Is not your president alone: he Is the president of the Amer ican people; as much mine as yours. But I want no partisanship In-the handling of this situation. You can do nothing worse than to exercise the power of your majority on the Mexi can question." Another resolution by Mr. Penrose culling for consular report ns to hap penings at Purango since January J; one by Senator Polndexter calling for Information tut to measures to pro tect Americans In Mexico, and one by Senator Bra nil ogee fulling for a Joint Investigation by the house and senate naval committees to determine what Increase In the navy was being made . and what nuval program was under consideration, was Introduced.

OLIVE'S SAFE Secured About $100 in Money Last Night No Clue to The Perpetrator. The store of H, J. Olive, in West Ashevllle, was broken into last night, the safe was blown open und nearly $100 was taken. The robbers made their entrance by the front door, which was prized open evidently by a pick and chisel which were found near the door this morning. The safe that was robbed is in the rear 06 the store and is only two feet away from another safe that is used for the books of the store. The door of the safe was carried nearly half the length of the store, by the explosion, knocking down a stove that was in the middle of the store and one of the hinges of the safe tore a hole in an oil tank about forty feet away. The safecrackers got about $100, an Insurance policy belonging to A. B. Davis, the manager of the store, and several papers that were In the different compartments. Deputy Sheriff Mitchell went out this morning with two bloodhounds, but the dogs could not get the trail. The store was closed last night about 9 o'clock by Mr. Daves. About 11 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Wright was nearby, and Dave .Irholson, a street car conductor, passed the store about 1 o'clock and these men did not notice anything out of the ordi nary and heard no noises. The store was opened this morning at 7 o'clock by Mr. Daves, who discovered the rob bery and telephoned the sheriff? office. The pick and chisel that were used by the robbers' were identified this morning by J. R. Price, who runs a blacksmith shop near the store, and later it was found that a window of the shop had been broken open. Mr. Daves says that several days ago a well dressed man of middle' age came to the- store and represented himself as being with a company that manufactures safes, and he asked to see the safe in this store. Mr. Daves said that he examined it thoroughly. He had no catalogues or other papers that a traveling man usually carries, however. This man had never been seen by Mr. Daves before, and no one can remember Just how he looked. However the sheriff's men are on the lookout for him. This store was purchased several years ago by Mr. Olive from Mr. Jar rett, and It has been broken Into and robbed on several occasions, but this In the only time that any considerable amount has been stolen.

She re sumed the story that was related with such a mass of detail by her compan ion in trouble and sorority sister.

SULZER REFUSES TO QUIT OFFICE U.S. SOLUTION NOT LIKED BY J California Difficulty May Be Allowed to Remain -As a Grievance. By Associated Presa. Tokio, Aug. 15. It was announced here today that the United States has intimated readiness to favor in prin ciple the payment of an indemnity to Japanese subjects who have been af fected by the California allan land ownership legislation. Th United States has also recognized the right of Japanese to adopt a measure simi lar to the California bill. From intimations given In official circles it appears unlikely that Japan will adopt either idea. What Japan desires Is permanent friendly relations with the United States and therefore she seeks a fundamental solution of the difficulty. If the United States has no solution to offer, It is stated, Japan will probably allow the matter to re main as a grievance. The public feeling of humiliation In this connection continues to be fanned by inflammatory comments In the newspapers. The Hochl Shlmbun, which is so often sensational, urges as an object lesson to the. United States the expulsion of American mis sionaries to Korea on the ground that they are undesirable aliens. Ti DAYS ROAD RALLY One Thousand People Agree to Work on Hendersonville- ..'vBat Cava Roadv The big two days' road rally, In which all good roads enthusiasts of Henderson county are expected to take piirt, began at Hendersonville this morning. The cltlxens of the county volunteer their services to work the road from Hendersonville to Bat Ciive. nd it has been announced that at east 10000 people agreed to work for the two days.

Patrick, when a large force of citizens went out for two days to work the lower end of the Hickory Nut gap road. Col. Patrick stated that the Henderson county peo- ile are thoroughly aroused to the need of better roads and that there has been much enthusiasm expressed over this good roads building. Recognizing the Importance of this good roads rally, the passenger de partment of the Southern railway de- lded several days ago to put on spec ial rates from Ashevllle to Henderson ville for these two days, these tickets o be good for the return trip until Monduy. A number of Buncombe ounty people took advantage of these rules to go over and Join In the en thusiasm of their neighbors In Hen- lcrson. Secretary N. Buckner of the local bonrd of trade went over this after noon, accompanied by Photographer F. Kay, and the latter will make moving pictures of the work on the road.
