The trial of Claude Jones, a young
negro, charged with attempted crimi-
nal assault on a little negro girl, be-
gan in the Circuit Court this morning.
The jury was completed at 9:25 and

directed to come around where the
jury might see," the defense objected

to give the details of her findings to
the jury the judge ordered the court
room cleared of all persons except the
jury and the officers of court. The
case is now being heard behind clos
ed doors.

Merely Effort to Induce Huerta to
Redeem Promise of Consti-
tutional Elections.
LIND is EYES AND EARS"
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
President Talks Freely to Members
of Committee Of Foreign Re.
lations of Senate.

Washington, Aug. "a two
hours conference between President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan and the
Senate foreign relations committee
this evening brought about no
change in the attitude OF the admiu
istration towards Mexico. The
president took the senators into his
confidence enough to outline the fol-
lowing;
That John Lind, sent as an envoy
to Mexico City does not mean any
solution Of the present situation but
merely an effort on the part of this
government TO induce Provisional
President Iluerta to redeem his
promise OF free and constitutional
elections.
That under no circumstances does
this administration propose to rec.
ogni2e the Huerta regime.
That Lind has gone 50 Mexico
City to be the Eyes and Ears" Of
the Washington administration to
explain the attitude of this govern
ment when he has fully acquainted
himself with the situation.
That by the withdrawal bf AM
bassador Wilson and the sending of
Lind the president planned TO have
man on the ground who was in
no sense a factor in the situation at
Mexico City,
These policies ana suggestions of
President Wilson aud Secretary
Bryan came out in the general dis
cussion. 1t was made clear that the
purpose Of the conference was to es-
tablish intimate relations between
the senate and the administration
in the development of the Mexican
policy and in the furtherance uf
this idea the president talked freely
! and answered many pointed ques-
tions
With the president disclosing no
i definite plans for the pacifcation.
Of Mexico he intimated that
upon Lind's report depended TO a
large extent the future policy of
this country.
There practically was no taiS of
lifting the embargo on arms iuto
Mexico which some II the members
Of the senate committee seemed to
think would pat a sp ,y end to the
difficulty.
The meeting tonight was entirely
friendly. The president did most oe
the talking and those present list
eued intently
or the IL men present only two
Senators smith of Arizona. and
Stone Of Missouri were the only
ones who believe in a policy Of ulu-
mate intervention.

RECEIVE REPORTS OF PERIL
TO AMERICANS IN COUNTRY
Efforts TO Establish Wireless Station
By Which to Call Help
Are Baked.

New York. Aug. 9---President
Iluerta of Mexico is preparing for
war with tho United States.
He hopes to have the aid of the
Japanese government il hostilities
begin Mexico has already purchas-
cd 10000 relies from Japan.
Americans are preparing to flee
from Mexico, Some have already
taken their personal possessions to
Vera Cruise, and then returned to the
capital to await the outcome Of the
difficulties between this country and
the Southern republic.
Efforts have been made to install
a wireless equipment at the United
States Embassy in Mexico City by
which Americans might communi-
sate with United states war vessels
living at Vera Cruz. but these efforts
have thus far failed. The Mexican
government is accused Of having
baked the plan.
These are some of the important
and startling facts set forth in mail
adrices received here late today from
the Mexican capital. At the time
they were sent the diplomatic crisis
caused by the resignation of AM
bassador Wilson and the appoint
ment Of John Lind as special envoy
had not been reached.
The situation at the present time
Is probably even worse Qow, for dis
patches from Mexico C4ty indicate
that General lluerta is growing in
popularity because Of his defiance
of this country.
one letter received today says:
1t has been Impossible to get the
wireless into the embassy It-is at
the disposal of the Mexican govern
mcnt and viii never be allowed tc
be installed in the embassy"
Discussing lIuerta's war plans
the letter says:
"Huerta does not intend to accept
any offer short of recognition from
Washington Every man Huerta
can get hold Of, including the clerks
in the stores of the capital, is being
drilled for service in the event ot
foreign invasion, to quote the Presi-
dents own words.
THE policemen are armed will
rifles now and have machine guns
handy There are many indications
of preparations for foreign war
Huerta Declared a Traitor.
"Ilucrta's protestation that Amer
leans will be safe in Mexico are il
line with his protcstations to Ma
dero that he would die i'm his defens
