The aerie has g thirty days option on property on the east side of Main street just north of East Washington avenue, which Is owned by the heirs of the Wheeler Beers estate.
 At present there is a wooden tene- ment block on the land. It has a front age of 107 feet on Main street and a depth of 14S feet. It is considered one of the most desirable pieces of prop erty in Main street and if the mem bers do not think it should be bought as a site for new Eagles home, the committee having the matter in charge will recommend the purchase as an in vestment.
 The price for which they have been offered the land is being kept secret by the committee, but it is said that it is less than $25, 900.

Mexico City, Aug. 20-The1 govern ment sent a note, today, to all the foreign legations here, stating that negotiations between John Lind. the personal representative of the Presf- dent of the United States and Provls- ional President Huerta, were contfnu- ing in a cordial manner.
 The note also denied the report that Dr. Urrutia, the minister of the interior, had made any statement which might be regarded as an u1ti- natuTn to the United States. Foreign Minister Gamboa and all other gov ernment officials refuse to discuss the character of the notes exchanged be- tween President Huerta and MT. Lind
 The further negotiations looking to a peaceful settlement would appear to depend upon Washington now that Provisional President Huerta has re- jected President Wilson's proposal If the United States government is will ing to reopen the controversy there is every reason to believe that the Mexican government would be willing It is known here that AGexfco's reply to the United States while couched in diplomatic language, was a definite rejection of President Wilson's pro- posa1s as presented by MT. Lind.
 Unless the Washington government sees fit to submit new propositions. then, on its part, the negotiations, ft ls considered here, will be closed

ground floor, and club rooms, gymna- sfum, baths, bowling alleys and a big meeting hall in the upper stories.
 Other members favor building club house like that of the E1ksN or the Seaside club and having the building exclusively for the use of members of the Eagles as the other clubs restrict the use of their buildings. This plan is not popular with the members who have built up the finances of the or order. The building in Madison ave nue has afforded a steady income from rentals for various purposes. For this reason members say that the the aerie should decide to buy a. site and build elsewhere.
 While a site for a new building has been talked Of the triangular piece of property in Main street, between Cath crime street and Madison avenue and owned by the NfcMafon estate, has been suggested as has the property of Union square.
 Bridgeport aerie of Eagles is the largest aerie east of the Mississippi river. The present hall in Madison avenue is worth $35,000 and the aerie has about $1o,o00 in cash deposited and drawing interest in savings banks in the city.
 The members however are not sat- ished with the arrangement of the present building and there is a strong sentiment in favor of remode1l1ng or of buying a site and building a new hali in a, more central location. The committee on alterations will report tomorrow night that it does not think the plan to remodel the present bui1d- ing is a safe venture and ~siH recom- mend the purchase of the Beers prop erty in Main street.
