» "e* LIND DOING WELL BE HAKES KNOWN 8IS MESSAGE TO IEIICO WAS KINDLY RECEIVED Huerta Undergoes a Change, and Ao . cording to Official Statement of the Mexican Foreign Minister the Pro posal Will be Discussed and Re plied to. The Huerta government, through conferences in Mexico City between John Lind, President’s Wilson’s per sonal representative, and Foreign Minister Gamboa, now knows the viewpoint of the United States and its desires for only a peaceful and friendly solution of Mexico’s trouble. The formal communication Mr. Lind hears was handed to Mexico Monday when it also will be transmitted to diplomatic representatives of foreign powers in Washington. What the result of publishing these views will he, officials at Wash- irigten did not venture to predict. 'I hey have no assurance* that the Huerta government will accept them, hut they believe the spirit thus far shown by the Huerta officials justi- DYNAMITE AT WINDOW MAYOR GAYNOU OF NEW YORK, W AS IN DANGER. a In ■ling for the success -s.on e- sit uaMon general- ■nt ! t ; r* Explosion at City Hall Prevented by Strip of W’ool W’ound Tightly Around Base of Fuse. A deadly charge of dynamite, three whole ten-inch sticks and two halves, with a fuse and detonation, was discovered Thursday afternoon near Mayor Gaynor’s office window in the City Hall at New York. The bureau of combustibles found that the explosive was 40 per cent, dyna mite, the regulation blasting propor tion, and the amount found would, If exploded, have wrecked the City Hall. The Mayor was in his office when the dynamite was discovered by a cit Izen passing through City Hall Park. Mr. Gaynor evinced little interest when told of the explosives and re mained apparently undisturbed at his desk while police officers hurriedly drew r a cordon around the dynamite to keep the crowd back. Mr. Gaynor frequently receives threatening letters, but he would make no statement regarding the possible connection between any pre vious threat by mail and the dyna mite found. It Is just Hirer* months ago last year that he was shot in tin* ark by a crank and so badly wound ed that for several days it was feanwl he would die. i lose to ttie explosive was a piece ef <"..n punk and ,-ev. ral partlv od . a' ■ \>-s The d> nan.o and w • re a ; appe i in r ' I Ml r ' Til'- I ; !

Is Being Prepared by President WTU- son Who Intends to Answer Huer ta’s Intimation That His Attitude is a Partisan One, Not Backed by the People. President Wilson was at work Thursday night on a special message which he probably will read to both houses of Congress Monday, relating in detail to negotiations conducted through his personal representative, John Lind, with the Huerta govern ment In Mexico. The decision to make a comprehensive statement on the situation to Congress was reach ed Thursday after the President had about concluded that negotiations between Mr. Lind and Provisional President Huerta, since the exchange of notes, had developed no new basis for discussion. With his message the President will present the two notes, setting forth the American suggestions to the Huerta government and its re ply.

The Secretary’s action was based on a report by a board of investiga tion headed by Commander Thomas Washington.

Senator Tillman, showing soma pf the former vigor that won tot' him the soubriquet of “Pitchfork Ben”, attacked woman Suffrage In a Senate speech Monday. ‘‘It is a beautiful dream,” said he, “that female suffrage will purify pol itics. The vital and important thing for us to consider is the effect on women themselves. We had better endure the evils of corruption In poli tics and debauchery In our govern ment, rather than bring about a con dition which will mar the beauty and dim the lustre of the glorious wo manhood to which we have been ac customed all our lives. “We can better afford to have de graded and corrupt politics than de graded and bad women. To have both In ever increasing degree, as was the case in Rome, would make the world so unspeakably horrible, as well as so corrupt, that good men and women, both would disappear from the face of the earth and civilization would be blotted out like It was In the dark ages, after the fall of Rome.

At Mexico City on Monday it was officially stated that the United States government has been given until midnight by President Huerta to recognize Mexico. The government Is not specific In the public announcement as to what course then will be pursued but it is understood that It means the sever Ing of all relations between the two countries.

Mr. Lind has forward ed General Huerta’s answer to Wash ington and Is awaiting a reply. president Huerta, In his reply, told tho United States that he would tol erate no Interference, even though that Interference might be character ized as friendly mediation.
