Thaw is held, on the ground that
it is defective on several material
points, failed. Had this
been maintained Thaw would haye
had to be released to the immi-
gration authorities, who would
no doubt have deported him back
to the United States. The plea
of Thaw’s counsel for the dis-
continuance of the writ of habeas

about his immediate release if
sustained, was allowed.

Series of Very Enjoyable Domestic

MOUNT ATHOS MONKS

St. Petersburg, Aug. 23.
Right monks of the orthodox
church, who were exiled from
Mount Athos because of their
heresy in regard to the divinity
of the name of Jesus, have ar-
rived at Moscow and are going
voluntarily to .farthest Siberia.
They declare many more of the

monks are going to Kamchatka.
Most of the newspapers condemn
the holy synod for persecuting
the monks.

The synod has not been moved
and threatens to expel

cause, from Russia unless he de-

The mystery attaching to the
Japanese barque which is at
present tied up at the Govern-
ment wharf is far from clearing
up. It is, in fact, increasing.

It was expected that the barque
would leave port, this morning on
her trip to the Fraser River. for
salmon. The customs author-
ities had given her the necessary
clearance papers and said’ that
they no longer had any reason
for detaining her. It appeared
that the troubles of the Japs were
aul an end, and that they could
now proceed on their way.

But if the customs oflicials de-
clared themselves through with
their business with the Japs, the
immigration officer, Dr. Neil Me-
Neill, did not. His department
is now holding her.

“T can say nothing further at
present than that the vessel is
being detained by our’ depart-
ment,” said Dr. MeNeill this
morning when plied by a repre-
sentative of The News with ques-
tions as to the why and where-
fore of the barque's detention.

It is generally understood that

PRESIDENT WILSON’S MESSAGE —

MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE (HUERTA RULE MUST END BUT
ADVISES STRICT NEUTRALITY—ALL AMERICANS
WARNED TO LEAVE MEXICO.

President Wilson makes it clear
that the Huerta rule must cease,
and declares that the United
States.can no longer sit idly by m
such a crisis as the present.

Washington, Aug. 28.—Presi-
dent Wilson last night sent out
despatches warning all Ameri-
vans to leave Mexico at once, at
the same time instructing the
American embassy and all the
consular representatives of the
United States in Mexico to notify
the officials and military author-
ities of Mexico that they will be
held strictly responsible for any
harm or injury to Americans or
their property.

 

Mexico City, Aug. 28.—Not un-
til late last night were any great
number of Mexican people aware

of the character of President
Wilson's message to congress,
and among those well informed

in regard to it it did not arouse
any great excitement.

this action -was taken in response
to a telegram from the head-

immigration authorities are, so
interested in the ship the old
question arises again: Did the
vessel smuggle any Orientals into
this country or Alaska?

The officers of the vessel will
know all about Prince Rupert be-
fore they get away. They are
taking their present opportunily
