TO MEXICO WAS KINDLY RECEIVED Huftrta Und^rgoM a Cliange, and Ac cording to Official Statement of the Mexican Foreign Minister the I’ro- posal Will be IMscussed 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 bears 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 be, officials at Wash ington did not venture to predict. They have no assurance* that the Huerta government will accept them, but they believe the spirit thus far shown by the Huerta officials justi- i a hop. f ui feeling for the success Kxplosion at Oty Hall Prevented by Strip of Wool Wound Tightly Around Haar of Puae. A deadly charge of dynamite, three whole ten-inch aticks and two halves, with a fuse and detonation, was diacovered Thursday afternoon near Mayor Gaynor’a 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, it 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 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 three months ago last year that lie was stiot in the hack by a crank and so badly wound ed that fer several da\s it was feared UNO IX VEIL IECEIVE1 HUT CAN MAKE Nl niHESS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS r k -•'! • ■ !

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 fyth the American suggestions to the Huerta government and its re ply.

The article seems to have been based on several paroles recently issued to Anderson County prisoners, and is as follows: That Governor Cole L.

Secretary Daniels has directed the punishment of the sailors of the Pa cific reserve fleet, who participated in the destruction of the Industrial Workers of the World and Socialists’ property in Seattle July 17-18, if they can be identified, though he #e- verely condemned the civilians who abused the sailors and the American flag. The Secretary’s action was based on a report by a board of investiga tion headed by Commander Thomas Washington. The board found that for some time before the rioting at Seattle there had been attacks on the flag, the government and particular ly upon the army and navy in the Parihc seaport cities calling them- s- Ives members of the Industrial Workers of the World an 1 to some .\'e:.t by so (alb'll Soctali-i's The i.'ll nut 1 '’titles, the report sail, a! - t r.ir- to harunvue erowds i a c d .tig r T • suiting in rs and two • 1 to the ' proper 1 > He Aey« I'lUeuUely Polltica Will De- •troy Woouul, Which MeuM Doom of the Republic. Senator Tillman, ahowlng aome of the former vigor that won for 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 & 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 Home, 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 Romo.

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. Provisional President Huerta re plying to President Wilson note which was recently delivered to the Mexican government through Ex- Governor John Lind, refuses media tion in the Mexican situation or viy similar suggestion made by a foreign government. Mr. Lind has forward ed General Huerta’s answer to Wash ington and is awaiting a reply. president Huerta, in his reply, told the United States that he would tol erate no interference, even though that'Interference might be character ized as friendly mediation. The char acter oi the reply of Washington to President Huerta’s note will deter mine the next acticu in the interna tional drama. All those connected with the Amer ican embassy Monday refused to ad mit the receipt of the note and that it had been seat was not admitted officially by the Mexican government At the embassy there was an evident desire to appear optimistic and one was led to believe that Mr. Lind Btlll hoped for a continuation of the nego- tlatiopa.

No definite course has been formulat ed. but the policy which at present is under consideration and Is most likely to be adopted is one of abso lute non-interference. The American government under such a policy would continue to deny arms to both sides, would withdraw Americana from trouble zones, insist on proper protection to property and lives, and, in effect, let the Mexicans continue their controveray on the bat tlefleld. The administration is determined against intervention or war, and the other alternative, friendly mediation apparently has failed. Officials at Washington believe the United States through the mission of Mr. Lind wil have satisfied foreign governments generally of its desire to bring about peace and they do not conceive that there will be any pressure to bring ajjxiut intervention. r- ft- • r a ‘ ’fa*.
