Mrs. Joseph Frey, the president, “is being promoted by women whose views are decided pagan. If their demands were to be realized the Christian family would cease to exist and wo- man’s condition would lapse into paganism. “While the Catholic church has made no pronouncement on the matter of woman suffrage, the Catholic philoso~ phy of life is opposed to it. However, we are not centering our activities in opposition to woman suffrage, but rather in a well formed plan for the future. The present rest has re- sulted in ths ,enrra.n;_hmment of wo- man_ fn Several states.

Colloquies over the probable effect of the pending tariff arose when Sen- ator Stane of Missouri read into the record quotations from manufacturers and merchants stating that the indus- trlal outlook was very favorable de- spite the proposed tariff reductions. Senator Gallinger expressed ass: ance that the present prosperity was due to republican policies, not to com- ing democratic laws and also that his- tory would repeat itself and depressing times come. Senator Williams addressing the republicans asked why, if they were so gcertain of the result they did not cease demurring and let the bill go to the country for a test. “We shall continue to demur,’ re- plied Senator Gallinger, “until we have made a record that perhaps may aid the people in understanding the situ- ation when the effect of this bill is felt.” Senator Meyers of Montana in a lengthy analysis of the wool schedule declared that the people of his part of the west favored free raw wool and that a century of protection had failed utterly to aid the wool industry of this country. His speech led to a general par- ticipated in by Senators Warren and Smoot for the republicans and Sena- tors Meyers, Walsh and Martins for the democrats. BANK COMMISSIONERS ¢ MUST GIVE INFORMATION. Motion Made by Savings Bank of Danielson is Granted by Judge Tut- tle. Hartford, Aug. 4—Fred P. Holt and Norris S. Lippitt, as state bank com- missioners, must, under an order made by Judge Joheph P. Tuttle, supply to the Windham Savings bank of Daniel- son the information which theofficers of the bank seek. The bank has for about a year been under an order of the superior court, restraining it from paying out any of Its deposits. A few. weeks ago the state bank com- missioners made -application to the superior court that a receiver be an- pointed. to. wind up the affairs of the bank:. =~ The . commissioners contended that the liabilities of the bank were greater. than -the.assets, and that the public. was in danger of being de- frauded if the bank was permitted to continue business. ‘When the application for the ap- pointment of a receiver came before Judge Tuttle at Hartford the bank was represented by Judge William F. Henney of Hartford and Harry E. Back, Danielson, while Ralph O. Wells and Stewart N. Dunning appeared for the bank commissioners. It was agreed that the hearing be continu- ed to the regular session of the su- perior court in Windham county, but Judge Henney made a motion that the bank commissioners be required to make their petition for a recelver more specifie, by stating in what way the public was in danger of being de- frauded. The motion was argued at some length, the lawyers for the bank commissioners being opposed to it. Judge Tuttle then reserved his de- cision and he has now decided that the bank is entitled to the information asked -for under. the motion. WILL URGE WALKOUT OF ALL DOCK WORKERS.

JOHN LIND STARTING AT ONCE SENT, NOT AS AMBASSADOR Is Personal Representative of Presi- dent Wilson—Ambassador Wilson's Resignation Has Been Aee.phd\. Washington, Aug. 4—President Wil- son today took the first steps in the Dolicy through which he proposes to deal witp the Mexican situation. He formally accepted the resignation of Ambassador Henry ILane Wilson, to take effect on October 14, and sent to Mexico City as his personal repre- sentative—but not accredited to the Huerta government—former Govern- or John Lind, of Minnesota, a lifelong friend of Secretary Bryan. The un- derstanding is that when a stable gov- ernment is established in Mexico Mr. TLind will be formally named as am- bassador. President Wilson and = Secretary Bryan had frequent conferences dur- ing the day; Ambassador Wilson had a long talk with M Bryan,- and Chairman Bacon of t senate foreign relations committee, discussed the git- uation with the president at the White House. But, except for the ampounce- ment of Mr. Lind's mission, no ex- planation for the policy to be pursued, by the American government was forthcoming. The statement from Secretary Bryan read: Adviser to the Embassy. “Ex-Governor John Lind of Minne- sota. has been sent to Mexico as the personal representative af the presi- dent to act as adviser to the embassy in the present situation. When the president is ready to communicate with the Mexican authorities as to the restoration of peace he will make public his view. Gov. and Mrs. Lind departed for Mexico tonight by rail to tprorreed wvia New Orleans for Galves- on.” - It became known that a further an- nouncement would be made by Presi- dent Wilson in a few days, possibly on the arrival of Mr. Lind in Mex- ico City. Watching Me: n Leaders. Tt is'said the president is observing with keen interest the efforts of lead- ing - Mexigans to bring about peace and will offer no suggestions until these apparently prove futile. That Mr. Iind will be empowered to ex- plain to all inquiries the unalterable opposition of the American govern- ment to the recognition of Huerta ad- ministration is expected to be a factor which may assist the situation. Prom- inent Mexicans have taken it upom themselves to try to persuade Gen. . Huerta to retire in favor of another provisional exeeutive _aceeptable tn nl_% factions. feanwhile, arms and munitions of whar from’ the United States will con- tinue to be deliveréd to the two war- ring .forces and .unless it is t that the Internal efforts to bring abott peéace have failed the United States will' ot “offer- it ‘services as a media- tor. . Mr. Lind will undoubtedly act in that capacity when the time comes. Hope of Peace Programme. Declarations from both Huerta and Carranza have been made im the press rejecting mediation proposals, but - -administration officials realize that . both - sides. fear they may be showing weakness in the acceptance of such a proposal at this time, and are not ¢convinced that friendly ef- forts to mediate would prove imef- fective. Officials here hope that the effort to put an end to bloodshed and destruction of property would appeal to public opinion in Mexico and unite the factions on a peace programme. ‘While officials of the administration here look with disfavor upon the process. of. armed revolution to over- thrqw constituted governments in Latin-America, there is a distinct feel- ing of &ympathy manifest toward the Mberal - movement in Central Ameri- ca. of which .Madero’s administration was the beginning in Mexico. Argn- ments, therefore, that it was neressary to have in Mexico the “iron band of Diaz” . which might be expected in Huerta, failed to make an impression on government officials here, who he- Heve that the Latin-American gov- ernments cannot thrive on the ex- tremes of civil iyranny or militaray atetatorstrips.
