A BUSY DAY WHEN
MULHALL CALLED
Senator Townsend Denies Civ
ing Lobbyist Time for a
Confidential Chat.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 4.-Senator
Townsend of Michigan was the first
witness before the. senate lobby com
mittee today. The testimony of Mar
tin NJ. Mulhall had been finished and
that witness was waiting to be ques-
toned by the house lobby committee.
Townsend fatty denied Mulhalrs testi-
mony that he had talked with him
and characterized Mulhall as "a self
acknowledged corruptionist." Emery
and Mulhall, when Townsend was a
member of the house, came together
in his office, and Mulhall made an
argument about labor legislation
When he paused l asked him il
he was through and when he said
yes / said: Well, this is my busy
day. You will have TO excuse me.
Therefore. It is an unqualified fcIse-
hood, when he says he talked to me
confdentially."
This man was personally offensive
to me, concluded the senator, there.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Senator My

senate today the west did not fear the

Amidst the hue and cry about the
discrimination OF this bill against the
west, l wish to have heard one west
ern state which feels reliant and is
not complaining about discrimination.
This discrimination against home in
terests when translated into English
in my opinion often means we are
not getting our share of graft, and we
are being overlooked in the distribu-
ton of plumber
The WOO growing business, he said
after nearly a hundred years of pro.
lection, coddling and nursing, is q

President Hopes for PeaceabIe
Solution of Trouble by
Southern Neighobr.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 4.-Seere.
tary Bryan today announced the ae'
ceptance of the resignation of Ambas
sador Wilson of Mexico.
Bryan made this statement: cam
bassador Wilson's resignation was &C.
cepted to take effect Oct IA The
part which he felt it his duty to take
in the earlier stages of the recent
revolution in Mexico, would make IL
difficult for him to represent the views
of the administration in view of the
situation which now exists"
HAS 90 DAYS LEAVE.
The ambassador, in ordinary prac-
tice, is entitled TO 60 days leave OF
absence exclusive of Sundays which
accounts for the fixing of the date on
Oct IA. In the meantime no appoint
ment can be made to fill the vacancy.
Consequently the American embassy
in Mexico will remain in charge of
Secretary O'Shaughnessy.
AMBASSADOR PAYS COMPLIMENT.
In a statement the ambassador said:
Il believe the president and secretary
! in their consideration of the question
are actuated by the highest patriotism
and justice to both countries"
NO ARMED INTERVENTION.
Washington, Aug. ARMED inter-
vention in Mexico is neither a prob
ability nor a possibility, for a peace
able solution of the situation Is becom-
ing more practicable. This is the view
| President Wilson took today of the
situation. He let it be known
that before long he would make a
brief announcement of the first step In
the policy of the United States toward
Mexico.
MAY DEAL WITH HUERTA.
While there is no inkling of what 1t
may be, it came from the White house
that it was expected the president would
formally announce his decision not to
recognize the Huerta government. The
sudden call of Ambassador Wilson to
Washington led to the report his status
might be announced.
is A MISUNDERSTANDING
The ambassador came to the White
; house and was told there was a mis-.
understanding about his engagement,
that instead of a conference with the
president he was to call on Secretary
Bryan. The ambassador said the tele-
gram received in New York stated the
conference was to take place at the
White house. Observers of the diplo-
matte situation predicted the ambas-
sador's resignation would be accepted
soon
The only explanation, however, as
to the. purpose of his recall to Wash
ington made at the White house, was
that it was for further consultation.
SAYS TAFT APPROVED.
On the way from the White house
to the state department, the ambassa-
dor gave out a copy of letter from
President Taft June 90, 1911, approx.
ing his course in Mexico.

Washington Interested In
Rumor of Move by
England.
HITS MONROE DOCTRINE
Decision of U. S. to Fortify
Panama Canal Held Rea-
son for Action.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Keen interest
has been aroused in Official circles
here by a report reaching tne state de-
partment that Great Britain is con-
templating the establishment of great
naval base in the Bermuda islands.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
British government has made inquiry
concerning plans of the United States
for the protection of the Panama
canal routes, and it has been sug-
gested that this indicates an intention
to safeguard British shipping through
the isthmus as is done in the Medi-
terranean.
MAY END MONROE DOCTRINE.
Officials realize that the problem
raised is a tremendous one, Involving
as it may the very life of the Monroe
doctrine and making, perhaps, COM
plete revolution in foreign naval pol,
icy in the western hemisphere. For
it is expected that if Great Britain
changes its naval policy in American
Atlantic waters other European ma
tons probably will follow suit.
While these changes may be ex-
pected in the Atlantic waters and the
West Indies, officials likewise realize
that, with the opening of the canal, the
United States must contend with
Japan for the domination Of the Pa.

STATIONS ABANDONED.
The British royal navy abandoned
its naval stations in this country about
10 years ago, when the UHfted States
gave up the idea of the construction OF
the Nicaraguan canal and set about
digging the big water way across
Panama, whose approaching compile
ton bids fair to revo.utionize interna
tional relations.
Apart from its West Indian stations
the royal navy maintained stations a

HOPE CHAPEL WILL

Present Structure at leer and

Enough to Accommodate the
Congregation.

A new church will be built by the
Hope chapel congregation at the
corner of Leer and Dayton SITS, which
will be constructed so that the old
chapel can be used as an addition.
The old building will be moved to the
rear of the lot and constructed so as
to be used as a Sunday school room.
A committee was appointed at a
meeting of the church officials of
terrain church Tuesday night, made
up of three men from each church, as
follows: w. o. Davies, James Taylor,
Frederick Badet, O. circuit, T.. Alter
man and George Steck.
Plans have been drawn up and ap-
proved and the work will be placed
in the hands OF carpenters. con-
tract will not be given out as il is
planned to depend largely on work
TO be donated by members of the
congregation.
II is figured that the building will
probably cost several thousand dol
feet long, and when united with the
old building will give a large space
for an auditorium.
Because of the large numbers who
have united with the church since the
Billy Sunday meetings. services have
been held at the Lincoln school.
Work or the new building will begin
at once.
