M.—President Wilson’s plan to read the Mexican message to congress this afternoon at one P. M. was upset by the receipt of a dispatch from Special Envoy Lind this morning.

He is accompanied by Luis d’Antin, an attache of the American embassy. The understanding here is that from Vera Cruz Mr. Lind will continue his journey to ‘Washington. ok LEEE PR R L L X XL B e o ol + kbbb bbb kbbbl Washington, Aug. 27.—Eleventh- hour developments in the Mexican sit: uation postponed the delivery o1 President Wilson's special message to congress and indicated that the Huerta government, after all, might withdraw or modify its rejection of the proposals of the United States. At the” request of Senor (jamboa, Mexican minister of forelgn affairs, which was based upon supplementary 5 suggestions by John Lind, adviser to the American embassy in Mexico City, President Wilson consented to post- pone his address. It was officially stated in that con . nection that in no case would the United States withdraw from the basic principles of its position, paramount among which Is a consistent refusal to recognize Huerta. Preparations at the Capitol, hurried- ly made for a joint session of the house and senate, were called off. President Wilson's message, a docu- ment of about 4,000 words, was locked up in the White House vaults await- ing the next developments. It is gen- erally understood that the message is very kind in tone toward Mexico, out lines the American government's po- . sition and expresses generous friend- ship for the Mexican people. Envoy Lind’s Proposals. Official announcement was made ot the original proposals by the United States presented to Huerta by Mr Lind. They were: First—Cessation of hostilities and a definite armistice. Second—An early and free election. Third—Huerta to bind himself not to be a candidate. Fourth—Agreement by all parties to abide by the results of the election Upon the proposals the Huerta gov ernment at the last moment asked further time for conmsideration and upon certain supplementary sugges- tlons by Mr. Lind, the nature of which is not being divulged here, the re- quest for a postponement was made. White House officials positively stated that Mr. Lind had not been re- * called from Mexico City and added that, if he had left for Vera Cruz, it would be for only a short visit. Ha is expected to return to Mexico City to continue the negotiations. Bo close is the president’s message guarded that no copies have been giv- en in advance to the press as is the almost invariable rule with such docu- ments.

SHOWS BUT LITTLE INTEREST Courts May Question Constitution- ality of Canada’s Immigration + Legislation, Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 27.—The pos- sibility of a long drawn out fight in the courts over the constitutionality of Canada’s drastic immigration act, under which it is proposed to deport Harry K. Thaw, was the favorite theme of both factions gathered at Sherbrooke. Thaw continued to show little inter- est in anything except his publicity plans. He is mailing and telegraph- ing statements to papers in Vermont, where, notwithstanding all the theo- ries of court delay here, he apparent- ly expects to be sent when deported. He also insisted again that in view of Jerome’s presence here he wanted his lawyers to reissue a statement quot- ing Jerome as saying in New York lnl 1908 that Thaw was sane. T. B. Williams of the Dominion im | migration department was quoted as|. saying he placed no faith in Thaw's chances of testing the immigration act in the courts. “Gentleman Roger” Thompson sent a message to his widowed mother in New York telling her not to worry. His hearing ‘on a charge of alding a lunatic to cross the border will come up before a police judge here on Fri- day. Dr. F. C.

A parade through the business streets and thence to Rand park, where the formal exercises were held, was a feature of the day. In the line of march were three hundred school girls carrying floral arches, while several: boy scouts bearing a replica of the dam led this division, followed by national guards and boy scouts. Governor Clarke and his staft, Lieutenant Governor W. L. Harding, former Congresman W. P. Hepburn and many of the prominent citizens of Keokuk and Hamilton were in line. C. R. Joy, president of the Keokuk Industrial association, presided at the ceremony of dedication. Regatta on Big Lake. In the afternoon the regatta under the auspices of the Mississippi Valley Power Boat association opened on Lake Cooper, the section of the Tiver above the big dam. Some idea of the immense size of the dam can be realized by remem- bering that the dam is a concrete monolith practically a mile long; the power house is as long as a city block and over 170 feet high. Four ordinary -Mississippi river steamers can be placed in the lock at one time. Hugh L. Cooper, the chief engineer at Keokuk, devised the scheme for damming the river. He made the surveys, staked every cent he hadj to.form ‘the company, went. $500 in debt "on personal notes to see the capitalists and get them Interested and ‘sat up nights inventing the hun- dred and one new things in hydro- electrics which make the plant pos- sible.

GOMNER-GEE BuT T LL MISS WM - i - erm; BAKER JEWELRY STORE ROBBED Thief Gains Entrance Through Rear Window—Breaks Glass—Crawls Over Work Bench. $100 REWARD FOR INFORMATION Jeweler's Security Alliance to Help Trace the Guilty Party, Between 10 o'clock last night and seven o’'clock this morning a thief or thieves broke into the Geo. T. Ba- ker and Co. Jewelry.store at 116 3rd street and stole jewelry valued at $300. Indications show that only one entered the store as only one foot mark could be found. Entrance was sained by breaking the rear window of the store ‘which is located in the manufacturing department. The acid Jars which are placed in front of the window were not disturbed and from the manner in which the thief car- ried out the robbery the local au- thorities believe that the man was a professional. < The safes were not touched, but as a large shipment of jewelry reach- ed the Baker store yesterday which had not been checked over and which was overlooked last night when the goods were stored in the safe, the thief made a good haul. Among the Jewelry articles missed were five bracelets, one tray of gold watch chains, one tray of charms and lock- ets, several brooches and small pieces of silverware. Five stop watches were taken from Mr. Baker’s private desk ‘and one swiss watch belonging to Edgar Titus was taken from Mr. Titus’s work bench. : Chief of Police George Lane and Deputy Sheriff George Denly worked on the case’this morning and notified the sugprounding towns and cities to be-on the watch for the man, Mr”Biker" believes that the rob- bery was committed by an amateur or young man of the city as a diam- ond broach and several EIk teeth valued at many tinies the amount taken, were left untouched. The measurement of the foot prints found beneath the window and on a cush- joned chair was a fraction of an inch less than ten inches. The thief was undoubtedly a man of small stature as only a small hole was-broken in the window which is several feet above the ground. Considerable gold had been left in molds in the manufacturing depart- ment where rings, pins and -other solid gold articles were being manu- factured yesterday. A reward of $100 has been offered by the Jewelers’ Security Alliance of which Mr. Baker i a member, for in- formation leading to the arrest and.,. conviction of the guilty party. De- tectives hired by this Alliance will probably arrive in the city today or tomorrow and help the local authori~ ties in tracing the thief. BAKER ADDS NEW LATHE To Be Used for Manufacturing Jew- elry Articles for the Trade. George T. Baker has installed a manufacturing lathe in the Manutfac- turing department of the Baker Jewelry store. With this new ma- chine the work turned out by this de- partment will be superior to the work formerly produced entirely by hand. Dyes can be made on the machine for. any design broach, ring or other fewelry article which a customer might order. All the gold smelting is done in the shop and the articles manufactured are always on display in the Baker store. Many visitors from other cities, who have heard of the Baker Manufacturing depart- ment and who have visited the city during the past summer have called at the store to see the department. |EIRS To THIEF RIVER FALLS 25 of Antlered Tribe From Bemidji to Attend.
