HuERTA MAY RECONSIDER THE
UNITED STATES PROPOSALS
FOR PEACE IN MEXICO.
WILSON'S MESSAGE DELAYED
President to Withhold Communication
to Congress to Give the Mexican
Government Time for
Action.

Washington, d. C.-The Huerta ad.
ministratlon in Mexico may reconsider
its rejection of the American pro-
posals to restore peace In Mexico and
arrange a new basis for negotiations
with the United States.
Strong limitations to this effect
reached official Washington along
with the information that the finan-
cial condition of the Huerta admins
tration was such that a crisis was
imminent
Should the Huerta government de-
eide to enter into new basis ~of dis
cussion, Withdrawing it's contentious
plying to the proposals communicated
by Mr.. Lind, President Wilson in all
probability will not read his message
to both houses of congress as he in
tended.
The President made no effort to
prevent the house from adjourning
until Tuesday. 1t had been supposed
that he would read the message Mon
day and would ask the leaders in con-
gress to arrange joint session. Fail.
ure to send any word to the leaders
was interpreted in official circles as
meaning that the United States had
practically given the Huerta govern
ment until Tuesday to make up it's
mind finally as to what it would do.
1t is positively reiterated that the
United States will continue to insist
on the resignation of Provisional
President Huerta or an announce
ment of his intention to do SO, as well
as his elimination from the presiden-
tial race in the subsequent election.

London, Eng.-The Saturday Re

an emergency appropriation of 25

MADE GOOD ROADS
A HEARTY RESPONSE IN MISSOURI
TO GOVERNOR MAJORS
PLAN.
OBJECT LESSON TO NATION
A Quarter Million Men Made Four
Hundred Miles of New Roads In
the Two Days-kansas Gov
ernor Helped.

Jefferson City, Mo.-Based on tele-
grams received from counties scat
tered in every portion of the state.
Governor Major said that one quarter
million would be a conservative es-
innate of the number Of men who
toiled upon the roads and highways
of Missouri, in answer to his procla,
nation.
The governor estimates that the
value of the work that was done will
be at least one and a half million
dollars.
"Missouri's two good road days
have been success exceeding even
our anticipations," Governor Major
said. From the kilograms | have re-
ceived one-quarter million will be a
conservative estimate of the number
who turned out to work on the roads
of the state the first day. That num-
Der was increased the second day.
Judging from the kilograms and tele-
phone messages received.
THE value OF the labor alone in
the two days will be 100000. More
than 100000 has been raised in the
various counties and cities of Missouri
and spent for material and road sup
plies. Thousands of teams have been
worked. Tons of cement have been
put into bridges and culverts. This
will add another half million dollars
to the total amount of improvement
that has been done and will be done
on the two road days. And that is
putting it small.
Missouri has shown the Nation an
object lesson in road building. At
least 400 miles of new road have been
built Repairs have been made upon
hundreds of other miles of our high
ways. Hills have been dynamited on
the entire state over"
Governor Major received returns
from road day at the executive man
sion, where he was entertaining Gov
ernor Hodges and Mrs. Hodges of
Kansas 1t was just like an election
night-only it is doubtful il ever any
bulletins we're watched with closer
interest than this road bulletin.

Committee promptly voted back into

of the fundamentals that it had eli
minated a party conference or caucus

The Senate committee had con
tinued to make changes in the House
bill to which supporters of the Ad-
ministration took exception and a
number of Democratic Senators at the
White House told President Wilson
tat no progress would be made by
permitting the House bill to be
buffeted about in a committee wherein
a coalition of Republicans and "insur-
gent" Democrats would alter the en-
tire theory Of the measure. 1t is not
known what position the President
took. Newspaper men who asked the
President whether a caucus would be
called were told by him that it was a
subject for the Senate to decide.

AT ANNAPOLIS
TO ACT ON AMENDMENTS.
Most OF Those Passed Now Depend
On Legislature.

Legislative action will be necessary
to put in force most Of the amend
ments to the State Constitution adopt
ed at Last weeks election This is true
of the condemnation, printing, anti
bribery and Attorney Generals depart
ment amendments.
Those providing for an additional
judge in the Third judicial circuit,
composed of Hartford and Baltimore
counties, and for increasing the sal
aries of the States Attorney for Balti-
more city and his deputy and assist
I ants operate automatically.
The condemnation amendment pro-
vides that the Legislature may author
ize the courts to appoint appraisers,
upon whose valuation property in Bal
timoTe city may be taken for public
purposes by the city or the State, sub
ject to adjustment to such valuation as
may be made by a jury in case the
jury allows a higher price This
amendment cannot become effective
until the authority has been given the
courts to appoint appraisers.
The printing amendment, providing
that the Legislature may print bills
: instead of engrossing them by hand,
will be carried out by the rules adopt
ed by the Legislature; the anti-bribery
amendment provides that the penalty
for election bribery may be put upon
the vote-buyer alone and the Legisla-
| ture will have to pass laws TO that
effect to give it force; and. of course,
the amendment providing for assist
ants to the Attorney-General who will
advise the various State departments
Will depend upon action Of the Legisla-
ture in fixing the number and salaries
of the assistants
Under the provisions of the amend
ment for the additional judge, his
selection is to take place at the first
election following the adoption of the
amendment. That will be the Con-
gressiOnal election next year.
There has been a general idea that
the new judge would come from Bal
timore county because the great bulk
of the court business in the Third dis
trict arises there. This may not hap
pen, however, because the point is
made that of the three judges now in
the district, Baltimore county has two
Judge Burke and Judge Duncan
and IS not entitled to a third, while
Hartford county has only one member
of the bench, Judge William H. Har-
Ian.
Nevertheless, Baltimore countians
already are talking about their judicial
timber Z. Howard Isaac has been
mentioned and former States Attor-
ney Robert H. Bussey is said to be
candidate. Elmer J. Cook has also
been mentioned. All are Democrats.
The amendment increasing the
salaries in the States Attorneys office
will become effective when proclaim
ed by the Governor. This VIII prob
ably be done in short while The in.
creases are $1,000 for the States At
torney instead of $4,000 $4,000 for the
Deputy States Attorney instead OF
$500, and not more than $500 for
the assistants.

GIRL BINDS AND
GAGS HERSELF
Saturates Clothing With kero-
sene and Starts a Fire.
FAKES STORY OF ASSAULT.
Believed That So Much Thought
OF Danger OF Attacks Became
Mania With the
Woman.

Chicago. - Fernwood, a residence
suburb, was thrown into great ex-
citiment when Gertrude Hanson, aged
II, a pretty domestic in the employ
of Mrs. Otto V. Johns, was found I'M
conscious in the basement, her feet
and hands tied, a gag in her mouth,
her clothing saturated with kerosene
and the basement room blazing with
burning paper.
The rumor quickly spread that the
girl had been assaulted and then
stricken down with a hammer and
the house set on fire to conceal the
crime. Detectives rushed to the dis
trict and began rounding up all sus-
piCious characters.
After a long cross-eXamination, the
girl confessed to the police that she
tied her feet, gagged herself, soaked
lot of waste paper in the basement
and then tied a handkerchief over her
eyes and slipped her hands into a
moose previously prepared. The dense
fumes from the burning paper rem
dered her unconscious and she would
have persisted had not Mrs. Johns
smelled the smoke and rushed into
the basement. She dragged the I'M
conscious girl outside and a chemical
engine company made short work of
the fire.
The girl is unable to explain her
queer actions or give any motive. She
says she has been in constant alarm
because of attacks upon women in the
suburbs. The case bears many
aspects of the notorious Ella Gingles
affair. In that case 3 girl told of be-
ing dragged into a bathroom in a hotel
and assaulted, after being tortured for
a long time 1t resulted in a trial that
attracted international interest and at
its close the girl was sent back to
Ireland, where she afterward married.
The Hanson girl is unusually pretty
and a mere child The police believe
she gave so much thought to the dan
ger of attacks upon women and girls
that it became a mania with her, and
she probably bound and gagged her
self in the manner She feared She
would be bound and gagged if she
should find man hiding in the base
ment.

Academy After Usefulness AS
Fighter Was Over-Saw Years
OF Service AS Prison.

Boston, Mass.-On the beach Of
Governors Island was burned for
junk the historic wooden frigate
Santee, remnant of the early days of
the navy, one-time practice ship of the
midshipmen at Annapolis and known
to practically every officer in the sery-
ice through the fact that for years
obedient middies. The Santee, which
was in Admiral Farraguts fleet at
Mobile, burned fiercely, her timbers,
dried by many years, making fine fuel
The blaze was visible for miles at sea-
The old warship had been bought by
junk concern for her brass fittings.
The selling of the historic vessel
was not considered by the govern
ment until after she had sprung a leak
and sunk at her dock at Annapolis.
After the sunken vessel had been
sold for junk, the firm which bought
the historic craft had her towed to
Baltimore, where she was drydocked
and made sufficiently seaworthy to
stand the trip to Boston for dis
mantling.
The Santee was built just before
the Civil War, but because of mis-
take in her design she was never used
for any important service Tradition
has it that the error was pointed out
To the designer by his young son, and
the designer shot himself on the deck
of the vessel The mistake was that
the portfolios We're built directly op-
posite each other, thus affording an
open line of fire to an opposing vessel.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.
BradStreet's says

BradStreet's says
Trade reports are Of twofold
character. On the one hand, dis
tributive trade continues to expand,
holiday business is growing and the
tendency is to increase estimates of
yields of Cotton and Corn, but against
these factors must be cited the fur
Their slowing down of wholesale trade
and increased quietude in Iron and
Steel
Some lines that might be active
prefer to wait for tariff readtustments,
an example being furnished by worst
ed mills, which deem it good policy to
hold back for free wool. However, it
is plainly patent that the daily wants
of large population are sufficient to
keep things moving along at salts
factory rate, and even in sections
where there is tendency to pessi-
mism it is conceded that business is
equal to that of last year, when
activity reigned.
