NO. 14 PRICE FIVE CENTS ASHEVILlE, N, C, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 27, 1914 MIKES APPEAL FOR EMBARGO RETALIATION BY ITALY INDICATED Kuerta Asks United States To Reconsider Decision Raising Embargo on Arms to Mexico. Ambassador Page Notified That Country Will Participate in In Panama Pacific Exposition Only If Certain Clause In Immigration Bill Is Eliminated. AGAINST INTERESTS OF ALIENS, HE SAYS United States Now Looking to Carranxa For Satisfactory Disposal of the Ben ton Matter. Rome, Italy, Feb. 27. The Intention of Italy to participate officially in the Panama-Pacific exposition was com municated today to Thomas Nelson Page, United States ambassador. The notification, however, differs considerably from that made to Ira Nelson Morris, commissioner from the exposition, which was absolutely un conditional. The note to Ambassador Page, on the other hand contains the reserve clause that Italy could not exercise the friendly act of participating in the exposition if, in the meanwhile, the American immigration bill should be passed with clauses such as that call ing for the carrying of American health officials on board Italian steam ers. Such a clause would be consid ered by Italians as Indicating an un friendly attitude, according to the note, and It is pointed out that when Argentina took a similar measure Italy broke off diplomatic relations with that country.

Mrs. Kate1 Edwards, who has been in the shadow of the gallows for nearly 13 years for the killing of her husband, was released from the Berks county jail today under a pardon granted by Governor Tener and secretly taken from the city to begin life over again. She was convicted of first degree murder In 1901 and sentenced to be hanged but four governors declined to fix a day for her execution. After her conviction petitions were circu lated in many parts of the country and were signed by thousands of women who protested against the ex ecution. Mrs. Edwards case was several times aken to the board of pardons Washington, eb. 2 7 After a long lapse In diplomatic exchanges between Washington and the city of Mexico, an attempt has been made to reopen the correspondence by the submission of an appeal by the Huer ta government for the reconsideration by tn United States of the recent raising of the embargo on arms. The feature of the communication said to have been Issued at Mexico City last lilght, Is the allegation that a state of anarchy exists in so much of Mexico as Is occupied by the rebel forces, and it Is also charged that the Immediate effect of the decree per mitting the exportation of arms has been to place the rebels In a favorable situation for permitting outrages while preventing the Huerta govern ment from repressing them as quick ly and as energetically as It desires. On the other hand. It Is set out that wherever the Huerta government Is In power, full protection has been given to nationals s.nd foreigners. Therefore, the United States Is In vited to reflect seriously "upon the sad consequences" that arming of rebels will bring, in the opinion of the Huerta Kovernment. Madrid, Spain, Feb. 27. The Span ish government has received informa tion that an Important revolutionary movement Is in progress in Uohugal. According to an announcement made today by the Spanish under Secretary of state for the interior, a condition of anarchy exists throughout Portugal. Authorities here are trying to obtain full particulars of the occurrences In Portugal, but hitherto it has been im possible to learn definitely what is taking place. All communication is interrupted.

Washington, Feb. 2" Former Pres ldent Taft appeared hefore the house judiciary committee today In the ca pacity of head of the American Bar association and urged freeing federal courts of one source of possible weak ness, by taking from judges the power to appoint court attaches. He was warmly greeted by members of the committee and exchanged cor dial hand shakes with men who for merly sought his counsel in the White House. With several members of the association, Judge Taft advocated pas sage of the Clayton bill to authorise the Supreme court to prescribe rules of procedure for federal courts on the common law side. "All men delight In the exercise of patronage," Judge Taft said. "Of course," he added, with a smile, "on this matter I am speaking to the re publicans on your committee not the democrats." One of the troubles with life ap pointments for Judges, h.c said, was that the temptation was strong to build up about them "Judicial fami lies." Lawyers knew, he said, that it was often a dangerous thing to make charges against a court clerk before the Judge who appointed him. This tojnnjfiuton eoitld lie. removed by con gress. Judge Taft insisted, and ''he courts as they are now constituted vin dicated without resort to the recall measure which he believed harmful. Judge Taft said he would have this extend exen to the appointment of 're ceivers by federal judges, requiring the court to select them from a list furnished by the Interstate commerce commission.
