SMALL HOPE FOR

Or0zcO Refuses to Meet Gen.
eral Huerta for a Con-
ference

Mexico City, August 11-Offlcial Mex
leo apeared today to regard with much
pessimism the outlook for peace in the
republic. Attempts probably Will be
made to reopen negotiations with GEN
eral Orozco but it is believed that the
rebel leader in the north Will stub
bornly resist overtures by the govern
ment. He was reported in a special
telegram to El Diaro as having re-
fused to meet General Huerta at a
point south of Juarez and there sur
render. adding that he would lead his
forces into the capital itself within a
month.
The newspaper E,l Pals prints a stste-
ment asserting that the United States

peace be restored at an early date. This.
however, has not been confirmed.
Juarez, Mex, August u.--Reports from
Washington that a Mexican rebel agent
there had opened negotiations with Sc
nor Calero, the Mexican ambassador,
caused great surprise here today. Juan
Pedro Diddap. whom Washington ad-
vices say opened the negotiations, is
known here as a Vasquista, but it is
stated at rebel headquarters he never
has been connected in any way with
the present revolutionary party. 1t was
officially announced today that the rebels
now fighting in northern Mexico have
no representative in Washington and
that anyone 80 representing himself is
an imposter.
II is asserted that the federal govern
rnent is attempting to draw attention
from the recent visit to El Paso of Min

Believes In Local Option

Il am in favor of local option. | am a
thorough believer in local self-govern-
ment and believe that every sef-govern-
ing community which constitutes social
unit should have the right'to control the
matter of the regulation or of the with
holding of licenses.
But the questions involved are social
and moral and are not susceptible of be-
ing made parts of party programme.
Whenever they have been made the sub
jeet matter of party oontes6 they have
cut the lines of party organization and
party action athwart to the utter con-
fusion of political action in every other
field. They have thrown every other
question into the background and have
made constructive party action impossible
for long years together. SO far as | am
myself concerned, therefore. l can never
consent to have the question of local op-
ton made an issue between political
parties in this state. My judgment is
very clear in this matter. 1 do not be-
iieve that party programmes of the high
est consequence to the political life Of
the state and of the nation ought to be
thrust on one side and hopelessly em-
harrassed for long periods together by
making political issue of a great ques-
tion which is essentially non-political,
ron-partsan, moral and social In its ma
tnre.'

President Daniel Willard Vice
Presidents George M, Shriver
and A. W. Thompson, of the
Baltimore & Ohio, and President
Stevens, of the Chesapeake &
Ohio with most OF executive staff,
have just returned from an in
spection trip over the new Ken
tuc,ly coal field OF the Consolida-
ton Coal Company. The trip
was made on the invitation of
President Jere M. WheelWright,
of the coal company. The pro
duct of the new field, which is
now ready for market, finds it's
outlet over the Baltimore & Ohio
and the Chesapeake & Ohio lines.
TIL connection with the last tnam-
ed is over the Elkhorn & Big
Sandy road, the line constructed
by the coal company direct to its
mines. The railroad officials
were enthusiastic over the out
look for tonnage which the new
development promises. PreSi-
dent Willard has no hesitancy in
saying that it is the greatest
coal development in the world.
President Wheelwright was ask
ed whether the opening of these
new mines han any influence on
the recent advance in Consolida-
ton Coal Company's stock.
I'VE are too busy here TO pay
attention to the market fluctua-
tion of our securities, y he repIi-

will say however, that in my
candid Judgment the Consolida-
tion's property in Maryland,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
can be eliminated entirely and tht
new coal fields in Kentucky still
afford a value equal to that whicl
the company's stock has eyel
sold for on is selling for now. =

Now Wilson reads his title clear
To mansions in Washington skies;
He bids farewell to every fear.
And wipes his weeping eyes.
Should Taft against his cause engage
And Steam-roller darts be hurled,
Then he can smile at Tafty's rage
And face standpat world.
Then shall he bathe his weary soul
In seas of progressive rest,
Andnot wave of trouble roll
Across his peacefulbreast.

And Wilson'S Armies shine,
