MAY NOT INTERFERE If Present Head Retires And Com- petent Sucessor Is Chosen Washington, July 20.—President Wil- son’s Mexican policy will not be made public just at present. He has decided on the attitude to be assumed. But because of reports reaching him of a well organized ef- fort of leading Mexicans personally to reconcile the Huerta and Carranza elements official announcement of the scope of the plan was withheld. These reports Indicate the following situa- tion: The economic pressure in Mexlco is 8o terrific that President Wilson be- leves it will of iteclf force a settle: ment of the internal warfare. The national industries are at a standstill. Exchange is at prohibitive ratea. Merchants generally are bankrupt. Great French financiers, who are dom- inant factors in the Mexican financial world, are demanding reforms. And they can themselves force Huerta to make such concessions that all or- ganized revolutionary movements will fall of thelr own weight. Huerta’s Retirement Imperative. Huerta can bring order out of cha- o8 almost immediately by resigning his present post and seeing that one of Mexico's big men, any one of proven executive ability, is named as his successor. But the price of per- manent peace in Mexico is the per- manent retirement of Huerta and his chief lHeutenants. Leading Mexicans and the agents of the European financiers in Mexico City are endeavoring to persuade Huerta to withdraw. They have sent the word here that they are hopeful of success. ‘There are more well known Mexi- cang _in Washington today than ever before.” They are here“to tell Presi- dent Wilson of conditions in Mexico. They have made it plain that as a final resort American intervention might succeed in Mexico. They want President Wilson to permit time for the Mexicans to reconcile their own differences betore outside intervention 15 made. The hint has been given them that they will have to do something. The hint has come from the administra- tlon that if they permit matters to drift the way they have, occasionally encouraging a revolutionary move- ment, they will be personally respon- slble. President Is Waiting. And it was unofficially learned from Mexico City that the big French finan- cial agents are actively at work try- ing to get all the leading factions to- gethew How long President Wilson will walt before trying his hand per- sonally in the settlement is not known. He does not want to wait very long. And if reports should reach. him at any time indicating that the reported attempts at settlement in Mexico are not being carried out in good faith he will promptly act. Ambassador Wilson has been re- quested to hold himself at the dis- posal of the president, state depart- ment and senate committee on foreign affairs. His status is not yet settled. It is generally believed his resignation will be accepted in the near future. The president and Secretary ot State Bryan refuse to discuss the am- bassador’s status. But because of the free manner in which he has ecriti- cised his superiors and issued news- paper interviews it is the general opinion that he will not be asked to return to his post. The present charge d'affaires in Mexico City is competent and experienced and con- sidered well able to handle any situa- tion that might arise at present.

ASK TO RECALL TROOPS Michigan ‘Sheriff Says He Made No Call For Them—Mine Pumps At Work NONUNION MEN CLEAR SHAFTS Calumet, Mich., July 30.—More mine pumps have started pulling water out ot shafts closed by the copper miners’ strike, with state troops guarding the ponunion employes. Operations of this sort took place at two of the Conglomeration lode work- ings of the Calumet and Hecla com- pany in the heart of the district. It was in these mines that the water had risen most rapidly and it was the hope of the union to keep the pumps idle because of the character of the ore deposit and the knowledge that when the corporation most affected by the strike attempted to resume it would begin its activity in those shafts. The work started at night when men were sent into the shaft houses under cover of darkness. By daylight they had the mzchinery ready to low- er the 300 feet of water which had accumulated in the workings. Coin- cident with this work several com- mands of militia were ordered to the neighborhoed, ostensibly to maneuver in a big field near the mines. Brigade headquarters was mystified by a telephone message from John Hepting, sheriff of Keweenaw county, who asked General Abbey to with- draw troops from his jurisdiction. The sherift said he had not requested that soldiers be sent into the county, but merely that they be placed near the Houghton county line might be available if called for. The sheritf said there were no dis- turbances in his bailiwick.

Underwood Testifies At Lobby Probe—Never Saw Him Before ‘EVIDENCE Makes Declaration Later Stating That It Is True Says He Can Prove It. Washington, July 30.—Majority Leader Oscar W. Underwood of the house denounced Martin M. Mulhall, alleged .lobbyist for-the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers; as’'a “liar and a blackmailer.” Mr. Underwood appeared before the senate lobby com- mittee to deny’ that'Mulhall- had ‘ever talked to him about legislation before congress. After one look at the wit- ness he said: “I never saw hifn before in my life.” Mr. Underwood appeared unexpect- edly and made a brief statement be- fore he was sworn. He denounced ag false Mulhall's statement than an em- ploye of the ways and means commit- tee had been in his employ. . Accord ing to Mulhall’s earlier testimony the man was paid $20 a month. “You made the statement that this man was a blackmaiier; that means he used threats to extort money,’ faid Senator Reed. “I think he was trying to get money cut of his own people.” returned Mr. Underwood. Chairman Underwood read Mulhall's letter about the alleged ‘interview in which Mulhall wrote that Underwood had told him that he could not do otherwise than appoint William B. Wilson, now secretary of labor, chair- .man of the house labor committee, be- causé there was no other candidate before the ways and means commit- tee. “Lle Out of Whole Cloth.” “That whole statement is a lie out of whole cloth—not a word of truth in it” declared Mr. Underwood “There never was a question but Wil- son’s selection as. head of the eommlt- ‘and- qualifications. It is clear to me this man was down here writing thess things to his people trying to make out that he was doing great things. Mulhall reiterated he had talked with Underwood briefly in the corridor and had written to his employers “about conditions just'as I found them in Washington at that time.” " “I have no desire to contradict Mr. Underwood,” he said, “but T am con- vinced that after he has heard my other witnesses and this examination has been ended he will take back part of what he has said.” “The statements you made in your letter were not true and can be proved not true by other members of the ways and means committee,” retorted Mr. Underwood, “therefore it' was self- evident I did not make them to you.” “I will stand as clean before the country as you will,” returned Mulhall heatedly. The incident created a flurry that had not wholly subsided when the committee settled down to the further identification of letters.

THE CUB REPORTER SCOO Dalartivea Paae Scoop’s Humor Is Too Strong For The Event BY *HOP* PENSION SHAKEUP FEARED Sharp Fight in Congress May Follow | TEN CENTS PER WEEK HAYCRAFT SUBMITS COMMUNICATION Believes He Is Right In State ments Which He Has Made Regarding Dairy Cow _BELIEVES IN GOOD SIRES Five Years Time Necessary To De- velope Herd Which Would Pay Either For Beef or Milking “I believe that I am on the right track when I submit this communi- cation and I am not trying to pick a quarrel or start any trouble or com- petition, but merely wish to defend myself in the statements which I made in a recent communication.” Said 1. G. Haycraft when he pre- |sented the following article to the Pioneer yesterday, This is the second article regarding presented. | The Best Cow For the Northern Min- nesota Farmer “In a previous article I took this question up at some length, relative to color, but the general contour and make up of the cow who will pay the most in dollars and cents is of still more importance. There is ab- solutely no question but stock rais- ing Is the coming industry of Nor- thern Minnesota, more particularly this timbered region. So a right start means success if followed up properly. For instance if we put in several sires of the right kind and breed, a good individual of the particular breed chosen, the effects of such a move will be seen in the community for ypars, and a mistake made in the ]start is very hard to eradicate. In fact it is almost impossible to ever get rid of the ill effects of a poor sire.” < F “It is not at all necesséry tor a cow to ‘be slab sided, cat hammsd and present a ragged or ungainly. appear- ance to be the best milk cow in the herd. On the other hand I have seen and have owned some very paying dairy cows who were at all times Wwhen properly cared for and fed, in milk. There is an old fogy idea that a cow that lays on flesh during the milking period is not a first class milk cow but such an idea is only fit to Dbrecipitate an argument. There is no truth in it. There is no question at all but that a cow, who assimulates and digests her food properly when she is getting a full ration, can give to her owner a pail full of rich milk and lay on flesh at the same time. The physical makeup of the animal has a good deal to do with their abil- ity to do this and this is where the dual or double purpose cow' comes in. “There is no reason why the grade cow with the fine shape, with the broad, level back well sprung ribs, heavy wide hips, meated well down to the hocks and having a weight of 1000 to 1500 1bs. can not make just as good showing at the creamery or cheese factory as her ragged, small, unproportioned, off-colored sister. In order to secure a good sized right colored, right shaped, well porpor- tioned, all round-milk and beef cow when crossing with the common run of cows found on the average farm, it is absolutely essential to make no mistake about selecting the sire, and, I want to make it as strong as I can, that to select a sire of any of the exclusive dairy breeds in such a case is a radical mistake. “If the offspring is a female you may get a good dairy cow and again you may not. And if you fail it is well .nigh a total failure and loss as the animal is of very little value for beef and if the offspring should be a male, it is of no real value as a sire, hence must go to the butcher and the price he brings is surely in- significant indeed. On the other hand if you have selected a good individual of the Dual or Double Purpose Type to cross with the common cow, the to a first class dairy cow, and if she does not she is also sent to the ‘buf- cher and the returns are very near {double what the female from the dairy sire would be the same rule wil hold good with the male offspring. These are not erroneous conclusions. They are based on actual facts and experi- ence. 1 know full well that I have struck: several old ideas hard but it is -high time that they were abon- doned. I have no cattle to sell nor an ax to grind but I have seen so much appearing in' the different papers |about the farmers getting in sires-of {Continuea on last page), the dairy cow which Mr Haycraft has good enought flesh for the but- cher’s block At the same time they gave a fine flow of rich offspring if a female may develope in *
