The gathering Was the greatest in the history of the eify. The manifestations of patriotism were remarkable in them- selves, but they were overshadowed by the evidences of a deep religious feeling on the part of those assembled.

SRR Gy TOWARD MEXICO United States Refuses to Recognize Any of the Factional Fighting as a Revolution. NO CHIEFTAIN IS TRIUMPHANT WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-~The Mexican situation moved forward to- day with two ments, General Carranza willingness to in a peace conference and an author- signified his | ‘(he views with which the United States is approaching the problem in Ema Pan-American conference. The | position of the United States was officlally stated as follows: | military faction {n Mexico is In control Of the country or can be considered ns | triumphant in the republie That the real purpose of the revolu- | tlon was accomplished a year #go, when Huerta was overthrown and that the ‘llrlh which has continued since has been jover factional differences and has not been In reality a revolution. That it considers General Villa, while financlally weakened, still is an active element in Mexican affairs, which must be reckoned with in an adjustment. That the so-called clentificos do mot enter into the problem now because it | 1& considered that the overthrow of | Huerta disposed of that element | That the great portion of Mexico s not at peace, ag General Carranga clatms, because fighting continues in many seo- tions from Tehuantepec to the Rlo Grande |and from Vera Cruz to Mazatian. | That the first problem to be solved In restoration of peace is to find for president a man who represents the cause of the original revolution against Huerta, but who does not necessarily represent any of the factions now at war, This outline Is the first authoritative statement of the basis upon which the United States is proceeding. General Carranza's brief, flled with the State department by his American counsel, Charles A. Douglas, not only proposes & peace conference with his ad- | versaries, but practically asks recogni- tion, | { Status of Carransa. It was made clear today that the United States, while willing to entertain claims of the rival leaders, such as presented in the briet filed on behalf or General | Carranza, does not accept the declara- tions of any of the military leaders that they are so dominant as to insure peace {In Mexico should they be recognized.

In both accidents tire blowouts were ascribed: as the cause, .although in the case of Cooper a broken steering knuckle | was said to have been the immediate reason for his loss of control. After | striking the ground outside the track, the momentum of the car was so grea! that it crashed into the end of the grand- stand and forced its way under the ! structure. Officlals sald Cooper was go- ! ing at the rate of 100 miles an hour at | the time, Wife in Grandstand. Chandler's wife was In the grandstand ‘when he husband went through the in side track fence. She rushed to his side and later accompanied him to the hos pital. At the hospital Chandler reco ered consclousness for a few moments, and his first question was about Cooper. Ho had not learned of Cooper's death | and the fact was kept from him. | The race {tself was full - of thrills, | aside from its tragic features. For most | of 300 miles it was a nip and tuck af- fair between DePalma, Mulford and O'Donnell, the former keeping the lead | the greater part of the time. In the last | fifteen miles, however, he devolped a run of bad luck with his tires, which threatened to lose him first place, but he forged ahead In the last three miles, and crossed the line ahead of Mulford 8o close were the two leaders that the judges were for several minutes divided ! as to who had won. The first announce- ment was that Mulford was the victor, but this was quickly changed and the official announcement gave DePalma the prize. | Born in Ohio. | Cooper was born in Youngstown, O., | about twenty-fuor years ago, He was unmarried. ‘ At the end of fifty miles O'Donnell had | taken the lead from De Palma, with Mul- | ford third.

No Snap Judgment. Superintendent IKugel of the poilce de- partment states he Is not disposed to take snap judgment on the enforcement of the new jitney ordinance, which went into effect last Thursday. “I am willing to give the jitney men ten days to iwo weeks, that they may make arrangements to comply with the ordinance,” sald Mr. Kugel The jitney people, however, declare the ordinance, if enforced, would drive them out of business. They contend the bond feature is unreasonable. A representative of one of the large liability insurance companies stated his company does not want this business at all on account of the risks. The remarkable wvelebration began at 7:16 In the cvening, with the simultane- ous ringing of all the church bells in Munich. For two hours previous to this time crowds had been streaming from all directions to the Koenig's plats, bedecked in flags for the occation. At 7:30 o'clock, to the accompaniment of a military band Greece Will Refuse . to Cede Territory at Request of Allies LONDON, Aug. ‘Greece will cede one inch of territory to Bulgari was the substance of a reply made by Premier Gounaris to a delegation of Macedonian deputies who asked a state- ment relative to the purpose of the gov- ernment, says a Reuter dispatch from | Athens. a not i In the negotiations which have been | conducted by the allles of the quadruple entente with Bulgaria in an effect to In- duce it to enter the war on their side, it has insistently demanded tnat it be ceded that' part of Macedonia Which was awarded to Serbia at the close of the Balkan wars. It also sought to obtain at least a portion of the Macedonia ter- ritory which came under the Greek flag in the same way. Macedonia was a Turkish province until the close of the Balkan war. The region embraces a medley of people, the chief elements being Slavs, Osmanlis and Greeks. The Slavs are Bulgarians and Serbs. ‘ | The statement attributed to M. {Gounarls is significant in view of the |fact that the British, French, Russian land Italian minfsters at Athens called |upon him Wednesday and made repre- Not Good Risk. “There are too many cxposures to the business. It is not profitable as a busi- ness proposition. The jitneys operate many hours on the busiest streets and the business is not a good rizk. Our company is not taking the business In other cities,” stated this bond man. Another liability man believed that if fifty Omaha jitney men will take this liability insurance a rate of about 3123 a year could be made for protection such as is required by ihe ordinance. A jit- ney man claims he asked for lability insurance for himself and was quoted a rate of $170 a year for $2,000 Mability, with some reduction if & volume of busi- ness can be secured.

As stated in my letter to the secretary of state, I have been endeav- oring for months to leave the, ment, and had Mr. Bryan remain tary of state, the letter would b written.

'7—Harbor Creek, |elght miles east of Hrfe, was hit by a |tornado and cloudburst early today, ac- cording to an appeal for help recelved this morning. Property valued at many thousands is reported to have been blown or washed away. Rellef was sent from here. o far as known there were no fatalities. Eleven victims of Tuesday night's flood were buried today. Competent engineers were at work preparing data for pre- sentation to the War department at Washington with a view to federal regu- lations that would prevent further filling in of the Mill creek channel and thus tend to avert a repetition of the disaster, For years it has been known that fill- ing In of the Mill creek channel was in progress and this restriction of the flood waters Is belleved by engineers to have been the principal cause of the disaster. The forces of men working In the wreckage were further increased today. No bodies were uncovered early in the day. SIX FISHING SMACKS SUNK AND DANISH SHIP BURNED LONDON, Aug.

The British press, basing its opinions on Petrograd dispatches and the lack of reports to the contrary from lin or Vienna, is inclined to the the forces of Grand Duke Ni tired from Warsaw virtually intact; but there is an increasing disposition not to miminize the serfousness of the situa~ ton as it still exists and the ‘anxiety of the quadruple powers seems to be mani- fested In renewed pressure to bring the Balkan states in line on the side of the entente powers.
