UNO ARRIVES
IN MEXICO CITY
Wilson's Persc nal Envoy Now
at American Embassy
WASHINGTON AWAITS EVENTS
Washington Is Assured by Mexican
Government That Mr. Llnd Will Be
Protected During Stay In Capital.
John Ltnd, President Wilson's per
sonal representative, and Mrs. Lind,
and Dr. William Bayard Hale, who has
been in Mexico for some time study
ing conditions on behalf of President
Wilson, arrived in Mexico City on
Sunday night.
Students and laborers, estimated to
number 1,000, paraded the streets of
the capital carrying banners as a token
at their approval of President Huerta's
tuiul sif-iinst accepting mediation by
the United States.
President Huerta had given his ap
proval to the demonstration and he
and the members of his cabinet re
viewed the parade from a balcony of
the palace. There was no disorder.
Washington Relieved Somewhat.
The statement of the Huerta gov
ernment assuring the United States
that everything possible would be done
to promote the safety of Mr. Lind
and to insure hib freedom from
annoyance has greatly relieved the
fear which all administration officials
had entertained that the president's
personal representative might come to
bodily harm on his mission.
While the understanding with the
Huerta government on this point Is
now on a more satisfactory basis,
absolutely no encouragement has been
held out that the present government
In Mexico will change its attitude in
regard to any proposals which this
government may make for mediation.
When it comes to a matter of inter
'erence by the United States with the
Internal affairs of Mexico President
Huerta's stand seems to be absolutely
uncompromising and unalterable.
Taking the foreign relations com
mittee of the senate in li is confidence
President Wilson explained the prop
osition he is going to put up to Mex
ico. It was learned that the United
States merely calls upon Provisional
President Huerta to carry out the
nromises he was officially reported to
have made when he took possession
of 'the government after the death of
Madero.
The American jovernment then was
informed that Huerta Intended to call
an election not later than July, and
did not intend to be a candidate.
The proposals which the United
States will submit to the Huerta gov
ernment, duplicates or which will be
transmitted to the foreign powers as
an evidence of efforts to compose the
situation in Mexico, It Is understood
will point out that the only Interest
the United States hns in Latin Amer
ica Is that constitutional government
may be maintained; that it of neces
sity must prefer those who set up
governments by orderly processes
rather than by arbitrary force; and In
effect says to Provisional President
Huerta that it believes it his duty to
obtain a suspension of hostilities
while a free and constitutional elec
tion is held.
Although President Wilson would
not say, senators who attended the
conference at the White Houso were
convinced that ho is looking forward
to the effect that the nonrecognitlon
of this government, will have upon
Huerta's efforts to obtain financial
assistance.
Henry Lane Wilson and other stu
dents of the Mexican situation have
contended all alontr that the real dan
Ker to President Huerta lay In his
inabllitv to obtain funds to ftnnnce his
administration and his military opera
tions. They have given It as their opinion
that at this time the Huerta govern
ment is tottering because of its in
ability to get financial relief.
The failure of the United States
government to recognize Huerta hns
been the sole obstacle to the financing
ef his goverlmeiit. and when tlm
leflnite statement Is made by the Wil
son administration it Is believed that,
an Insurmountable barrier will be
raised to the object by Huerta of any
further conferences.
It was learned that ns soon as
President Wilson's proposals for a
peaceful solution of the Mexican situa
S'on have been laid before President
Huerta they will be transmitted to the
great nations of tho world. The presi
dent and his cabinet are relying upon
the expression then of a worldwido
public opinion to compel Huerta to
make concessions In the interest of
order and constitutional government.
It would not be surprising If the
United States government had alreadv
received Informal assurances from
Kuropean nations of their sympathy
and willingness to lend support in the
present effort toward mediation.
President Wilson under the most
BKgravatlng circumstances showed
treat moderation and self restraint lu
handling the Mexican situation. In
stead of taking offense at the defiant
note from the Mexican government,
declaring tha presence of John Lind in
that country "undesirable," the admin
istration was endeavoring to appease
the anger a.onsed in Mejico City by
President Wilson's policy.

John Henry Mears Clips Three Days
Off Fie cord.
John Henry Mears, the special com
missioner of a New York newspaper
who left New York on July 2 on a
trip around the world, arrived in New
York with a record that beats by three
days, 22 hours, 7 minutes and 37
seconds the best previous time for
such a Journey.
The former record held by Andre
Jaeger Schmidt of the Paris Excelsior
was 39 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes antl
37 4-5 seconds. Mears' time was io
days, 21 hours, 30 minutes and four
fifths of a second. He fell behind hid
schedule time by four-fifths of a
second. This time was lost in getting
through the crowd of friends and ad
mirers thut surrounded him as he
left the Grand Central terminal.

SCARCITY OF COAL MINERS
Operators Think Price For Bituminous
Product Will Reach $2 a Ton.
Coal operators In the Pittsburg dis
trict complain of the scarcity of miners.
The mines are unable to put out at
least 15 per cent of their capacity and
conditions are distressing to the
operators, as there is a great demand
for Pittsburg coal und many of the
larger companies are compelled to buy
coal in order to fill their contracts.
So far the railroads have been sup
plying plenty ot cars, but the opera
tors say that If they can secure enough
men to work the mines they can uso
more cars than the railroad companies
can supply. The opinion of many
operators is that the local price will

STORM RIPS UP
PHILADELPHIA
Death and Devastation Caused
by Elements
PROPERTY LOSS ENORMOUS
Two Persons Killed and Many Injured.
Market Street, Quaker City's Main
Thoroughfare, in Wrecked Condition.
Death, devastation and tremendous
property loss is left In the wake of the
worst storm in years which struck
Philadelphia and the surrounding
country.
Accompanied by a sixty-mile wind
before great black clouds and large
hailstones everything frail or weak
fell in the path of the gust. It was
like the death-dealing punch ot a
Goliath pugilist.
The worst accident reported was In
Fairmont park, where a band pavilion
near Georges hall collapsed, catching
at least 200 persons In the ruins. They
had taken refuge from the storm In
the pavilion. A baby is dead and
fifteen Injured persons are In the local
hospitals. More than 100 injured man
aged to drag themselves to their
homes. Only the fact that the pavilion
was of light construction without any
real heavy Joists prevented a terrible
catastrophe.
At the height of the storm a large
sightseeing auto carrying a crowd of
plcnicers was being pushed to its ut
most to carry the gay merrymakers
under cover. The wind blew the flow
ing necktie of the driver Into his face.
He lost control for an Instant and the
big machine was thrown Into a tree.
Several occupants were injured.
Matty Greiner was drowned at Port
Richmond. Her male companions
were endeavoring to get ashore when
the gust seemed to lift the woman
bodily from the boat. Her body has
not been recovered. Her companions
are under arrest.
The entire length of Market street
was laid waste. Large trees that had
withstood the storms of years were)
stretched across the Btreets. In all
parts of the city trolley service was
either tied up absolutely or delayed
for hours. Telephone and telegraph
wires were down on all sides.
Large plate glass windows In down
town stores were smashed much like
tissue paper. The wind tore the roof
from the building of the Franklin
Trust company at Fifteenth and Mar
ket streets. Hoofs of eleven houses In
the neighborhood of Forty-seventh and
Forty-ninth streets and . Woodland
avenues were carried away.
A tower on the Broad and Filbert
street side of the Pennsylvania sta
tion was Jarred from Its support Bnd
huge blockT of granite were hurled
Into the street. Fortunately no per
son was lilt. All the parks of the
cily are devastated. Gigantic trees
were broken like pipe stems. The
entire reserve force ot the police de
partment wait called out and roped off
dangerous thoroughfares. The tele
phone exchange was almost at a
standstill.
BORAH STARTLES SENATE
Says He Can Prove That Justice De
partment Influences Judges.
Senator Horah of Idaho roused the
senate by deliberately charging that
the department of Justice through Its
agents had made investigations of tho
federal courts with the object of
influencing the action of federal
judges.
Senator norah has made the charge
before, but the circumstances under
which he repeated it created a pro
found sensation. Senator Borah was
not swerved in the slightest when
Senator O'Gorman expressed doubt as
to the matter, or when Senator Craw
ford of South Dakota declared that
It was "the most astounding charge"
that he had ever heard made In the
senate chamber.
"I am prepared to prove It If the
senate will authorize a committee to
investigate the matter," said Senator
Borah.
