The Mexican government yesterday
sent to all the foreign legations here
a note in which it stated that negotia-

While couched in diplomatic language,
was a definite rejection of President

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA dis
position to refrain from any discussion

When resolutions, introduced by

up automatically for consideration, the
senator put them over indefinitely
The P0indeXier resolution went the
same way. That action was in keeping

Young Minister'S Passion for Self-Ssc-

Have Been Anticipated.

The announcement of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one Of the
charity workers of New York to say:
Marriage itself will not be able to
quench Miss Gould's passion for Civ
ing. Apropos to this passion, she once
told me story.
There was a young minister, the
story ran. who, being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
The young minister's district con-
tanned many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts ano
coats, gloves, overcoats and trousers

away his clothes. foolishly and reck
