— 1LY PIONEER VOLUME 11, NUMBER 91 WILSON EXPECTS Believes Envoy To Mexico Will Be Received—Warship Moving Slowly HUERTA GIVEN OPPORTUNITY | rorts ot s May Digest Situation Before Repre- sentative Arrives In Mexico Washington, Aug. 11.—John Lind, President Wilson’s personal envoy to Mexico, has arrived off Vera Cruz on the battleship New Hampshire. Parched—Ship Water By Freight CAUSING MUCH SICKNESS Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 11.—Re- uffering from heat and drouth in Missourl, Kansas and Okla- homa reached here in greater num- ber than at any time since the period of intense heat set in nearly a week ago. Not only the farmer and his beast, but cities and towns over the three states, and especially in Kan- 8as, are harassed for want of water. Several towns are shipping in thelr water by freight. In others low wells He | and ‘lack of water for use in sanita- probably will not be in Mexico City | tion has caused disease. Lamentations before another twenty-four hours and the diplomatic crisis between the United States and Mexico is not ex- pected to culminate before that time. The next development in the situa- tion is expected when Mr. Lind, through Charge O’Shaughnessy, pre sents to Provisional President Huerta President Wilson’s proposals to bring about peace. These will be published simulta- neously in Washington and Mexjco City and at the same time will bs transmitted as a matter of informa- tion to the powers of the world. Whether Mr. Lind’s presence in Mexico will be "undesirable,” as has been stated by the Mexican minister of foreign affairs, then actually will become known. Administration offi- clals here are reluctant to believe that will be Huerta’s attitude atter he offi- clally knows the purposes of Lind's visit. They take the view that the at- titude of hostility has been aroused by unofficial misinterpretation of the purpose of the mission. Slow Progress Intentional. Though there is no official confirma- tion it is said the passage of the New Hampshire has been a slow one pur- posely to give the Mexican govern- ment opportunity to digest the situa tion. Before Mr. Lind arrives Charge O’Shaughnessey is expected to explain to the Mexican foreign office that Mr. Lind comes only as an advisor to the embassy on a thoroughly peaceful mis- sion. The administration maintains "~ its | tled. confidence that when Huerta under- stands the facts there will be no ob- struction to former Governor Lind's mission and that he will be allowed to discharge his duties as adviser to the American embassy without moles- tation. That understanding’ is based upon the belief that Mr. Lind scrupulously will observe the etiquette of diplo- macy and will not undertake to raise en issue as to his status by address- ing himself directly to General Huer- ta or the Mexican foreign office. BELIEVES WAR IS AT HAND French Press Suggests End of Peace Policy. Paris, Aug. 11.—All the news dis- patches from Washington, published in France, describe a rupture between the United States and Mexico as be- ing probably close at hand. Com- ment on the Mexican situation recog- nizes the difficult responsibility ot the United States and suggests that the peace policies of President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan are lkely to disappear in the presence of realities. CAR SHORTAGE IS PROBABLE 8ituation Likely to Become Acute by October. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Indications of a oar shortage this fall is seen in a bul- letin issued by the American Railway assoclation. It discloses that on Aug. 1 there were 68,716 surplus cars on varlous lines throughout the country, as compared with a surplus of 76,280 on July 16. It is regarded that this surplus will continue to decrease un- il the situation becomes acute in Oc- tober. ‘There were 65,904 idle cars in the United States on Aug. 1 last year, and & car shortage of unusual severity oc- curred as soon as the crop movement began. GAYNOR'S ORDER IS INVALID Has No Authority to Close Restau- rants at 1 a. m. . New York, Aug. 11.—Mayor Gay- nor’s order of March 25 closing all Hquor selling restaurants, even to nondrinking diners, at 1 o'clock in the morning, has been overruled by a decision of three justices of the supreme court, who declared that a restaurant may serve food at any kour of the night, provided the bar is closed. When the order was first put into effect there was much trouble on Broadway, a number of persons, in the midst of meals, being unceremonious- ly ejected. WIIl Meet All Comers. New York, Aug. 11.—Gunboat Smith, filled with elation over having beaten Jim Flynn at the Garden Ath- letic club, put out ‘the sweeping defi that he is willing to meet Jack John- son, Sam Langford or anyone in the world for a finish fight, winner to fake all. Intentional Duplicate Exposure for burnt crops come from all sec- tions and in some of the districts hardest hit the imposgibility of laying ig a winter's feed for the live stock i¥omises to prolong the suffering. Indications are that a sixth con- secutive day of extreme heat is under way with the likelihood that the max- imum temperatures, ranging from 89 to 110, would be equaled. The fre- quency of appeals for aid to water and health departments indicate the seriousness of the heat and drouth situation in this city. Six new horse fountains in various sections of the city were ordered in- stalled after complaints had reached the water department that the crush about the old fountains was so great in instances that the whole street was blocked to traffic. CALUMET STRIKE IS BROKEN Two Thousand Men at Work in Cop- per Mines. Calumet, Mich., Aug. 11.—Copper mine operators claim the complete rout of the Western Federation of Miners in its strike here for higher wages, an eight-hour day, abolishing’| of the one-man drill and recognition of the union. Two thousand men are at work. No demands for changes in working con- ditions were made by the men return- ing, but it is said, from a high au- thority, that the mining companies will raise the wage scale and prob- ably give the men the eight-hour day shortly after the strike nnally 1s_se TO SUPPORT FUSION TICKET New York Republicans Will Make No Nominations. New York, Aug. 11.—Following the announcement of District Attorney Charles 8. Whitman that he would accept the fusion nomination for the office he now holds it was made clear that the support of the Republican or- ganization leaders will be thrown to the entire fusion ticket, headed by John P. Mitchel for mayor, in the coming city election. Samuel S. Koe- nig, Republican county chairman, bore formal assurance of this support to Mr. Mitchel. There had been doubts as to the at- titude of the Republican organization owing to dissatisfaction in some quar- ters because Mr. Whitman was not nominated for mayor. KICK REVZALS LOST WILL Testament at Milwaukee Comes to Light in Odd Way.

Neillsville, Wis., Aug. 11.—Two pos- ses are combing the counties of Wood and Clark for some trace of the lone Jandit who entered the State Bank of Chile, held up the cashier, stuffed $1,400 in currenoy into his pockets and escaped. The holdup was described as a young man of about twenty years of age, wearing a yachting cap, gray coat, dark trousers and no mask. Evi- dently he wore ‘“sneakers,” for the cashier did not hear him as he en- tered. A slight cough apprised him of the stranger’s presence. When he looked up from his books he faced a revolver. “Get busy and hand me all your currency,” swiftly ordered the young man. “I don’t want to be bothered by any of your citizens coming in here.” Taking the money the robber back- ed out and disappeared in a clump of nearby timber.
