transferred to Atlanta
All this Misunderstanding was
cleared up at the meeting OF yester-
day, and Mr.. Pennybacker assumed
all blame for the mistake that had
been made.
1t appears that tnstead Of Rich
mond and the Richmond business mon
being at fault. the fault lay in quite
another direction.
The Touring Club had failed to no.
tify either the Chamber Of Commerce.
the officers Of the Virginia Automo-'
bile Association, or the Richmond
Automobile Club, when and where the
pathfnding party would arrive.
Richmond Not Notified.
The officers Of the two latter or
Eanixations, President Relvin. OF the
state association. and vice-President
PelouEe. Of the Richmond Automobile
Club, stated that had they been made
aware OF the coming OF the party
they would have gone forth In auto
mobiles and have escorted the path
finders into Richmond.
The only person who had gone to
meet the party was Mr.. Lee Foiger,
the enterpristng representative of the
Packard and Chalmers companies
and Mr.. Folger had become % dis
gusted 1T an incident that had hap
pened at Culpeper he did not get in
touch with the proper people In Rich
mond when he arrived here.
Mr.. FOlger, a. readers Of The vir-
gilman recall, was arrested In Gull
pepper on the charge Of speeding. and
in spite Of the testimony Of Captain
r. st. Julien Wilson and the other
notables In the party that they were
not travelling faster than eight miles
an hour, he was fined S2S and scosts,
a matter he was not expected to take
In very good part.
But while the pathfinding party
was on their way here President
Henry Wood. Of the Chamber OF
Commerce, had asked Secretary Dun
lop to write to Mr.. Psnnybacker at
the Jefferson. requesting him 20 COM

New York, March 16.-The sudden
departure from New York of Senior Ii.
mantour, the Mexican minister of
finance, after a week of conferences
and negotiations, the precise nature of
which has not hitherto been clear, Is
now explained by the understanding
that he has succeeded in effecting a
tentative plan by which substantial re-
forms are expected to be immediately
put in force by the Mexican govern
ment and the leading insurrectionists
being satisfied, are to aid in restoring
peace. The presence here at the hotel

his three sons (brothers of the pro-

Madero family and the fact that Lii
mantour and the senior Madero have
been in conference while important
messages have been going back and
forth from the finance minister to
Mexico added significance to the situ-
alton.
Senior Limantour bears with him

will be acceptable to the Mexican gov
ernment and made the basis Of peace

Arbitration is Seconded by
A. K. Balfour, Leader of

SAYS HE SEES NO DIFFICULTY IN
THE WAY OF CARRYING OUT AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES AND GREAT
BRITAIN, WHICH WOULD PRAc-
TicALLY UNITE GREAT NAvIEs
OF BOTH COUNTRIES.
By Associates Press.

London. March 16-Sir Edward
Grey's endorsement Of President Taft's
arbitration suggestion was seconded
amid cheers IN the house Of commons
today by A K. Balfour. leader Of the
opposition, who, in the course Of a
speech, declared he saw no difficulty
in the way of carrying out such an
agreement between this country and
the United States
The late government did its best 10
carry out an arbitration treaty with
the United States" said Balfour, "and
7 hope there is such a general feeling
in America, the time has come when
these two countries may be bound BIZ
a treaty TO refer ell questions which
could possibly produce anything 50
horrible as war between them. to the
arbitration tribunal"
The arst break in the chorus Of ap-
provaI which greeted the arbitration
proposal came from John Dillon, mem-
Der from East Mayo. who described
Sir Edward Grey's speech as gigzE-
tic red herring drawn across the path
Of the naval estimates. Nothing" he
said. SIS different in the Gray pro-
posals from the treaty Salisbury tried
to negotiate with the United States ex-
cept the importation Of an offensive.
defensive, or coercive alliance against
other powers" He gravely doubted
whether this would be found to be OF
advantage.
