DECLARES ENVOY LIND NOT

Huerta Demands Credentials in
Proper Form and Recognition
OF His Government.

London, Aug. S---The London
Times has received the following
cablegram from Manuel Aldape, act
ing foreign Secretary of Mexico:
Mexico City, Aug S---By order Of
the President of the Republic, ! de-
clare, as being in charge ad interim
Of the Secretaryship of Foreign AT
fairs, that if Governor Lind, sent by
President Wilson does not produce
his credentials in proper form and
with them recognition Of the govern
ment of the Mexican Republic. his
presence will not be acceptable in the
country"
The Times preface Aldape's mes
sage with the following editorial note
The strain in the relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States
has reached the breaking point
General Huerta has evidently deter
mined to defy the American govern
menG and to persist in his refusal
to resign the Presidency or to allow
foreigners to take hand in the pae-
ifcatiOn OF his country.
There has been no anti-Ameri-
car demonstrations, but it is feared
that some outbreaks may follow the
arrival of Envoy Lind. Many Amer
cans are convinced that the arrival
Of Mr. Lind will bring about an ex
plosiop and that wholesale expulsion
will follow"

Results OF Two Hours Conference
Between All Parties Deeply
Interested In Matter,

Major T. t. Dabney of Clarksdale,
Miss, will decide the question rel
atiyo to the water-resisting qualities
Of some of the earth being used in
the construction of the Mobile and
Ohio leyee, a slight controversy and
doubts exist ng as to it being the best
material for leyee building.
Major Dabney is an engineer Of
vast experience and his judgment in
the matter will be accepted as fnal
evidence In the matter as his opinion
carries conclusive weightin the light
of his extension anyE very successful
touch with leyee matters
This was the conclusion reached
yesterday afternoon following a two
hour conference in the office Of
Drainage District Commissioner Par
sons at which there were present all
the commisslo ouers Of the Drainage
District. representatives of the three
Cairo banks, attorneys, local press,
members of the Citizens Executive
Committee. contractors and L. s.

Every phase of the situation rel
atvc to the quality Of the material
was thoroughly discussed and as re-
sllt it was decided to make a requi-
sition on the services Of Major Dab
ney upon the recommendation of Z.
S. Engineer Markham OF Memphis.

certain if they are material suited
for luvec building, some doubt be-
ing expressed as 10 the dirt from one
part of the pit, the contention being
rade that it contains too large q
percentage Of fine sand.
a telegram was Immediately sent
to Major Dabney requesting his pres
ence here and for what purpose he
was desired the matter of expense
and remuneration not being consid
cred inNiew Of the valuation of his
opinion. He was requested to wire
a response.
The earth over which the contro
versy has arisen, is when dry a fn'
impalpable dust that can easily b.

There was exhibition of earth pres

which has withstood successfully th
unprecedented high waters Of 1911

er taken from the pit. Enginee
Harrison when asked to give an off
hand analysis of the two material
promptly. by the feel, told the dill
ference insofar as the presence c
of clay and sand were concerned.
There was no question that all pal
ties present had been over the levee
and in the pit and had made thoroug
and exhaustive examinations of tn
earth.
The engineers and contractor
gave it as their qualified opinio
that the earth was excellent mate
ial for the purpose of leyee buildin
while the executive committee state
that they based their objections

portions of the pit contained cart
which might not be suitable materi

FISHER BLOCKS ROCKY
MOUNTAIN PARK.
Colorado Project Dead Until
Next Congress at Least,
Representatives Learn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. The
Mountain Park project is dead as
far as the present congress is
concerned. Senator! Thomas and
Representative Rucker indicated
today that there was no hope Of
action during the few days of
session that remain and that the
bill would have to be revived in
the fifty-third congress.
Secretary Fisher, in withhold
ing his report on the measure
requested by the public land COM
mittees of the senate and house,
is responsible for upsetting the
fond calculations that congress
might be induced to act on the
measure in the closing hours.
In a letter to Senator Thomas to-
day, Fisher says he is over
whelmed with the affairs of the
department. Senator Thomas
construes the letter as virtually
leaving the matter for his sue
cessor to handle. The secretary
again mentions the undesirability
of section 2, which deprives the
government of water power
rights, and says its elimination
would greatly facilitate the re-
port. It is generally understood
the forestry service is instrument
tai in causing the delay. Den
yer Times.
We hope that .President-elect,
Wilson, will see to it at once,
that this man, Fisher, is can
ned" and that Alva Adams is
put in the Office of Secretary of
the Interior.
This man Fisher has caused
the homesteaders of the west all
kinds of trouble and has done
everything in his power against
the up-building of the west. and
should not hold even the Office Of
