Estimated at More Than
Hundred Million Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Presi-
dent Huerta has begun to discuss with
members OF the diplomatic corps in
Mexico City plans for arranging a
settlement Of the foreign claims
against the Mexican government.
growing out Of the disorders of the
last three years
President Huerta proposes to nave
appointed a commission which shaii
pass on the claims OF all foreigners
against the federal government In
Mexico. Pressure is being exerted IN
many quarters in favor OF having this
commission international in charac-
ter, instead of purely Mexican body,
and IL is understood thai Huerta
himself Is inclined to follow this sIg-
gestion, If he finds Il can be worked
out satisfactorily,
Commission of Seven.
1t Is thought that a commission OF
five or seven members would be ths
most satisfactory. Besides the United
States, Great Britain. and France
Germany and Spain would be certain
to demand adequate representation
upon such a body. Mexico would, OF
course.~cemand larger representation
than any other one country, II not, In
fact. a majority representation.
So widespread have been the us
orders. and so dcmoralized the state
Of Mexico, &ven up to this moment,
that only guesses can be made as TO

another that clothes didn't make the

Justice John has said that clothes

sized his remark on two occasions.
by telling certain women that they
did not have enough clothes.
All of which leads up to the aues-
ton at issue. which Is not a question
which may lead into an argument.
Fashion week started in with a
whoop. The biggest crowd Richmond
ever saw on the streets at one time
testified to the popularity of the local
suppliers of fashions. This statement
is somewhat incongruous for no one
can supply fashions. They just grow,
like Topsy did. And, while the
crowds on the streets and IN the
shops after Monday night have not
been as congested as upon the open
ing night of the show, they have been
more earnest and substantial.
Everybody Pleased.
President Sam Cohen. of the State
organization of retail merchants.
said he had never seen such an en-
thusiastic bubble of spontaneous APP
plause in his long years of service TO
the people of Richmond.
Fred Jurgens. who seels everything
from a summer hammock to 4 check

Mr.. Cohen, and he adds that the
chairs he placed outside his store
we're occupied on the night of the
opening by no less than seven thou
