SEE RECOGNITION
OF MUERTA RULE
Capital Observers' Solution ol
Mexico Problem
WILSON MUST AOOPT POLICY
That President Intends to Establish
Definite Attitude la Indicated by Re
cent Doings Flareups Don't Scare
It Is clearly indicated that President
Wilson baa come to the conclusion
that the Mexican Hlluutlon lint
reached a stage where it requires the
formulation, of a definite policy on the
part of the United States government
With this purpose In mind he hut
out for Ambassador Wilson hoping
that the ambassador will be able tc
furnish him exact information us to
conditions in Mexico on which muy be
based a pluu of action If any action
seems necessary.
It Is certain that nothing will be
done so far as this administration if
concerned pending tht arrival of Am
bassador Wilson. According to dis
patches from Vera Cruz the ambassa
dor should be here by the latter part
of next week.
That recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment by the United States Is not
beyond the range of iwssibilitles for
the near future Is uow believed here.
The attention given the .Mexican sit
uation by oilier governments and the
representations of the members of the
diplomatic corps In Mexico City to
their respective governments have
convinced Washington that It is high
time some consideration were given
to the problem from the United States
point of view.
It Is understood that the other gov
ernments most interested in Mexico
will be quite content with a simple
declaration of policy by President Wil
son. There Is no disposition on the
part of Europe to urge intervention oi
any other specilic course.
It Is Inevitable that one of the chief
questions to be asked Ambassador Wil
son upon his arrival here is his opin
ion of the note prepared by his col
leagues In the diplomatic corps nt
.Mexico City. He will undoubtedly be
asked If he agrees with the statements
made therein, notably the declarations
that the altitude of the United States
toward the Huerta government Is a
tfHfuutory cause of the increasing
oltftf'Ter in all parts of Mexico.
The status of Henry Lane Wilson
will be one of the Interesting points
of the present situation which will
have to be cleared up as a result of
the forthcoming conference at the
White House. There exists a feeling
of great uncertainly as to the likeli
hood of Mr. Wilson ever returning to
Mexico City as the American ambas
sador. This feeling is due to the fact
that the adniinistrntion has made no
secret of the fact that only for recog
nition being Involved It would have
relieved him and appointed a succes
sor months ago.
The anti-American demonstrations
n Mexico City are not causing any
particular apprehension to the Wilson
administration. They are regarded in
official circles as wholly artificial and
port of an attempt to force the United
States Into recognition of the Huerta
government.
The really serious phase of the Mex
ican situation Is the almost total dis
appearance of law and order from
most states In Mexico. American and
other foreigners are being subjected
to a continuous round of raids, hold
ups and robberies. It Is this phaso of
the Mexican situation, the degenera
tion of constituted authority, which Is
responsible for the anxiety of the
European governments.
Americana Flee In Numbers.
The exodus of Americans and other
foreign residents of Mexico to zones
of safety, according to passengers who
arrived In New York from Vera
Cruz by the Ward liner Esperanza,
has turned into a panic flight.
There were more than 100 Ameri
cans on the liner. Most of the pas
sengers were women and there were
thirty children.
Eben F. Greenlaw, who has a big
lumber mill near El Ora, a mining
town In the state of Mexico, came
back with his wife and two little chil
dren. He said women and children
were In grer.t peril In the country be
cause of the activity of revolutionists
and bandits.
BULGARIANS READY
Massed For Last Stand to Protect
Capital.
According to a Servian official re
port the main Iiulguriun army Is now
massed between Kustendll and Du
brltza forty miles from Sofia. Here
the Bulgarians will make their last
stand If the allies attempt to march
on the capital.
It is said, however, that the Bul
garians are wholly unprepared to re
sist any attempted invasion of Sofia
and if the Rumanians push forward
they could enter the city at any time.
The charges in regard to massacres
and outrages of various, kinds are re
ported frci Bulgarian, Greek and
Servian souices.
The Greer. J are hurrying to the
town of Xac.thl in Macedonia to pro
tect the Inhabitants from a massacre
which has been threatened by the Bul
garians, whe are retreatlug from

MUCH DAMAGE
DONE JJT STORM
Cloudburst Over Southwest
Penna and West Virginia
A severe rain and electrical storm
swept over territory extending from
Wheeling W. Vu., twenty miles east
and south, assuming the proportions
of a cloudburst beyond the Pennsyl
vania line and causing Immense losses
to fanners.
The downpour continued for an hour
and a haif, washing out crops and de
stroying gardens in the lowlands and
overllowing the banks of several small
tributaries of Middle and Hig Wheel
ing creeks. A number of farm houses
were flooded but no lives were lost.
At Viola and Majorsviile, villages in
Marshall county, considerable damagu
was done. The West Penn Oil com
pany's pumping station wus put out oi
commission and the Natural Gas com
pany of West Virginia had Its supply
Bhut oft for several hours.
Homes Made Unsafe.
following a cloudburst Greene conn
'iy; Pa., was in the grip of one of the
worst floods it has had. Reports state
that farmers suffered great loss and
In many cases the occupants of
houses along small streams were
forced to flee from their homes.
Accompanying the cloudburst was a
terrific electrical storm. Several
houses and bams were struck and one
person was Injured. The home of Riley
Huffman in Waynesburg was struck by
lightning and the house badly dam
aged. Mrs. Huffman was thrown across
a room and rendered unconscious.
BRISTOW FLAYS ASHURST
Kansas , Senator Accuses Latter of
"Using Public Funds."
A charge that Senator Ashurst of
Arizona "used $100 of public funds" to
pay for telegrams that should have
been paid for out of his own pocket,
was made in the United States senate
by Senator IJristow. Senator Ashurst
denied it and Senator Bristow agreed
to produce the telegrams to prove his
charge.
The charge marked the tabling, 41
to 29, of Senator Brlstow's resolution,
aimed at Secretary Bryan's proposed
six weeks' lecture tour. The resolu
tion would have called on President
Wilson to advise the senate what
salary would be sutllcient to keep Mr.
Bryan continuously at his post, and
was prompted by the secretary's an
nouncement that he was obliged to
augment his pay of $12,000 a year by
lectures to meet his living expenses.
The debute developed a sharp ex
change between Senators Bristow and
Ashurst when the latter read a letter
intended to show that Mr. Bristow
years ago had expressed a wish to be
an isthmian canal commissioner, with
the suggestion that he need not spend
much time "on the Job."
Rath Duff Found Guilty.
At Webiiier Springs, W. Va., Dele
gate Rath Duff of Jackson county was
found guilty on the charge of bribery.
Although Duff and his wife wept
(luiiiiK tiie two hoffrs the Jury was out
the defendant showed little effect of
it when the twelve returned and he
smiled as ho left the. courtroom with
his wife and the sheriff behind him.
Mellen to Quit New Haven.
Charles Sanger Mellen eliminated
himself entirely from New England
railroading by resigning the presi
dency cf the New York, New Haven
and Hartford and its subsidiaries. The
date of his retirement is loft to the
directors, but Mr. Mellen says it musi
not be later than Oct. 1.
WILSON'S FIRST
ACT MAKES HIT
Protectorate Plan For Nicara
gua Commands Attention
PEACE IN CENTRAL AMERICA
Idea Advanced by Administration
Would Practically Make of Nicara
gua a Ward of the United States.
The administration's proposal to es
tablish by treaty what amounts to an
American protectorate over Nicaragua
Is being generally accepted as the
most far reaching step in the foreign
policy of the United Slates since the
Spanish-American war.
As President Wilson's first piece of
executive statesmanship in the realm
of foreign affairs the proposal laid be
fore the senate foreign relations com
mittee by Secretary of State Bryan
excited great Interest and much ap
proval. The prospects for the suc
cess of the administration's plan
seemed bright. '
The arrangement with Nicaragua is
assured of strong Republican support,
Including that of Senators Lodge and
Root. With the support of the presi
dent it is considered almost certain
the plan also will receive the
acquiescence of the Democratic mem
bers. While diplomatic and official Wash
ington were greatly interested in the
immediate effect of the Bryan pro
posal upon Nicaragua their attention
was directed chiefly to the larger
aspect of the proposed treaty rela
tions with this southern republic. The
impression was general that Mr.
Bryan's present proposal is merely a
step In the evolution of a policy which
inevitably will provide a more sub
stantial and general control by the
United States over Central America.
It is certain that the experience of
the direct protection of the United
States by the single republic of Nic
aragua will have a remarkably calm
ing effect on the revolutionary move
ments and upon political disturbances
In all the other countries of Central
America. The certainty of Internal
peace in this section will go far, it is
believed, ' toward maintaining the
stability of Honduras and Salvador,
Nicaragua's neighbors on the north.
Of Costa Rica on the south there Is
little cause for anxiety.
An' important fact in the proposed
arrangement is that not only will the
peace and progress of Nicaragua be
assured but by the terms of the treaty
the United States will be nble to ox-
erci.se the upper hand on the Gulf of
Fonseca. The waters of this gulf on
which the United States is ceded a
naval base wash the shores of Nici-
ragua and those of Salvador and Hon
duras as well. In every disturbance
in and between those three republics
the waters of the gulf have started
many a filibustering expedition.
The possession of the gulf Is also a
great stride toward securing that con
trol of the Caribbean by the United
States which in most quarters has
long been regarded as inevitable and
essential.
The Mexican situation alone Ins
served to convince not only the new
administration at Washington and tho
Democratic party In congress, but the
American public as well, that the
United States has grave responsi
bilities to the rest of the world and
duties to itself In the region south of
the Mexican border. The approach
ing opening of the Panama canal and
the knowledge of the vnst changes to
be worked on the commercial and
naval system of the United States
with reference to botli Europe and
Latin America have also served to
make clear to the country the neces
sity of a dscisive and firm policy In
the region which separates the canal
from continental United States.
PREDICTS SUDDEN DEATH
Cardinal Gibbons Says He Has Only
Few Years to Live.
"On next Wednesday I shall be
seventy-nine years old,'' said Cardinal
Gibbons in Baltimore. And then
he added: "I do not think thut I will
live much longer. My life Is nearly
spent. I will soon be an octogenarian
and nature must take its course.
"I think that it will not be long
now," he continued, "and when the
call conies I think it will be a sudden
one. We should all bo ready for the
call, because we don't know how soon
or sudden it may come."

SCIENCE VERSUS RELIGION
Absolute Exists Only in Spiritual Do
main, Says Speaker.
At the international congress of
religious progress In Paris an ad
dress was made by Euiile Iioutroux on
the conciliation of science and re
ligion. He denned science as not
being something self-existent, com
plete and finished for all eternity
which a man has only to discover as
a hidden treasure is unearthed.
Science is not a thing but an activity.
Religion, said the professor, must
be spiritual and inspired solely by the
idea of God and not the idea of any
material interests, for religion is the
affirmation of the insuiiiciency of
reality to realize perfection and not of
its sufficiency. Science must be con
sidered to be the expression of
nature's actual state, but not its
eternal, absolute form. No scientific
formula ever claims the value of an
adequate principle independent of
facts. The absolute exists only in the
spiritual domain.
ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
Dull Season For Business Optimism
in Crop Producing Regions.
Dun's Review of Trade suys tills
week:
"The trend of business is still In
the right direction, even though prog
ress is slow. This is ordinarily a dull
season and various restraining factors
curtail activity, yet encouraging fea
tures are manifest and cheerful views
predominate. In the great crop pro
ducing regions optimism Is general,
owing to the prospect of another pros
perous year on the farms.
"Midsummer shutdowns of the steel
mills were of brief duration, as pres
sure for deliveries continues and new
orders are in well maintained volume.
More activity is apparent In pig iron,
the buying movement broadening un
der the stimulus of lower quotations."
HAVENS WINS AIR RACE

undertaken by flying boats.
Although it was announced a few
days ago that the cruise, which start
ed from Chicago July 8, had been
called off because the private commit
tee which raised the bonus money was

"CHEAP SKATES
SELL LETTERS"
Colonel ttil's Comment
Anent Correspondence Traders
LOBBYIST CONTINUES STORY
Senate Committee Told of Alleged At
tempt by Manufacturers to Bribe
Samuel Gompers to Play Traitor.
"The question has never arisen In
my mind not even for one moment
that any friend of mine would save
friendly correspondence for political
purposes let alone use it.
"All of uiy correspondence with you
has been a pleasure as well as an
education, but 1 do not know of one
letter of yours that I have saved after
reading and answering it, so if any
chairman wrote to me and asked me
to turn over Dr. Crockette's letters to
him for political purposes I would
think that fellow was a very 'cheap
skate' and was untit to answer his
letters, for It would be placing me in
a position of selling out my friend
and he must rate me as a very cheap
article if he thought he could get any
Information out of me against a
friend."
The foregoing is Colonel Martin M.
Mulliall's estimate of persons who sell
private correspondence that political
exigencies may be met thereby. The
letter which contained this expression
of the colonel's views is in his own
hand "writing embodied in the general
files of the Mulhall correspondence as
delivered to the investigating commit
tee of the United States senate. The
quoted paragraph Is a portion of a
letter addressed to Dr. George Lantry
Crockette of Thomaston, Me., and was
dated Sept. 28, 1908, Trom Indianapolis.
Many of Mulliall's letters deal to a
large extent with the mid-campaign
period of the summer and early fall
of 1908. They review the James K.
Watson governorship campaign in In
diana in which the manufacturers
were deeply interested.
Colonel Mulliall's promised dis
closures as to the alleged attempt on
the part of the manufacturers to bribe
Samuel Gompers to change sides in
the fight or to play traitor to the Fed
eration of Labor also tame up. Mul
hall told bis story with much
dramatic effect, raising his voice
until it rang to the outer corridors.
Mulliall's story was that he had a
meeting in New York with Messrs.
Van Cleave and Schwedtman, who
told him to call on Atherton Broin
well, in charge of the manufacturers'
publicity biirouu. This was in 1907 or
190S. Mulhall called and Bromwell
Informed him of a plan to get
Gompers, saying a man named
Broughton Brandenburg was then in
Georgia following Gompers. He said
he (Bromwell) had undertaken the
mission. Mulhall wus not sure
whether it was for tho purpose of the
publicity buieau or for the purpose of
bribery for $40,000.
Some of the letters introduced dealt
with former President Roosevelt's in
dorsement of the candidacy of Mr.
Tal't, then secretary of war.
Speaker Cannon and Congressman
Watson of Indiana were the principal
advisers of the National Association
of Manufacturers at the Republican
national convention in Chicago in
1908, Mulhall teal Hied.
"Our entire organization was busy
trying to nominate Sherman and try
ing to keep labor planks out of the
platform," he said.
"The organization swung to the sup
port of Tart although it did not like
some of his public utterances on labor
legislation," said Mulhall, "because It
became evident that Cannon and the
other presidential candidates had no
chance of success. The organization
would have favored Cannon above all
others," he said.
Tho manufacturers' officers "had
t lie promise of Mr. Vorys and Mr.
Taft's managers," Mulhall alleged,
that there would be no severe labor
plunks In the national platform.
In a letter written in April, 1908,
Mulhall quoted the late Vice President
Sherman as saying that tho fight then
raging on Speaker Cannon was a
"dirty deal by the White House
against the speaker."
"Watson states," wrote Mulhall,
"that the president (Roosevelt) is
moving heaven and earth to nominate
Talt und thut he is willing to sacrifice
the Sherman law and every law to
please the trusts and please Wall
street so that he can win their sup
port for his candidate.
"The opposition to the president,"
Mulhall continued, "intends to let no
legislation through that he wishes it
tills session of congress and intends
to fight the Taft forces to a finish."
SNAKE A BED FELLOW
Woman Bitten Twice by Copperhead;
Bites Not Fatal.
When Mrs. Muscher with a cry of
pain awakened her husband at their
home In liranchvlllo, N. J., he told her
to "forget It and go to sleep again."
She did so, but shortly afterward

with a stinging sensation in her knee.
The first pain had been in her foot.
Buscher lighted a lamp and found
that a e.-pperhead snake two feet long
had oitten his wife twice. Buscher
killed the snake und sent for a doctor
who said the bites wjuld not prove
fatal.
