Articles of Arbitration Now Comprise
the Sixteen Original Demands Pre-
scented by tie Conductors and

New York.-The threatened strike OF

proved working conditions will not be
called. Articles Of agreement to arbi-
trate under the Newlands act the ques-
tons at issue were signed Saturday by
the employees representatives and the
conference committee of railroad man
ayers.
The, agreement was not reached until
the managers had withdrawn the pro-
posal that their own grievances against
the men also should be arbitrated. This
claim, the managers announced, they had
relinquished to protect the public. from
. tie-up. which they said the employees
intended to force if the railroads persist.
ed in pressing their point.
The peaceful outcome Of the dispute
was the result of efforts made by the
board of mediation and Cancellation re.
Gently created in the hurriedly passed
Newlands act to meet the situation. The
board, consisting Of Judge William Lea
Chambers, Judge Martin A. Knapp and
G. W. W. Hanger, brought about the
agreement after conferences with the
disputants which continued more than =
week.
With the elimination of the eight
grievances for which the railroads desired
consideration, the articles of arbitration
comprise, without alteration, the 16 orig
inal demands presented by the conduct
ors and trainmes. The only point gain
ed by the railroads was tie provision
that the award OF the board of arbitra-
ton to be constituted later of six mem
bers shall take effect Oct. i, next. in.
stead of May l last, the date requested
by the employees.

NOT INCLINED To
RECOGNISE HUERTA
PRESIDENT PRACTICALLY vETOES
ADVICE OF AMBASSADOR.
LATTER MAY HAVE TO QUIT
Suggest New Plan of Having Huerts
Abdicate in Favor Provisional Pres
ident-Cannot Name Successor
Without Huerta Recognition

Observation-Disclosures Henry Lane
Wilson, summoned from Mexico City to
INFORM the Washington administration
OF conditions in the r~ebellion-torn repub-
lie, talked for an hour with President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan Monday,
submitting chiefly a recommendation
that the United States use its influence
to stabilize the Huerta regime.
No policy was evolved-at least none
was announced-but it became known
that the presidents ideas and those OF
Ambassador Wilson as to the course to
be pursued are so radically different
that administration officials interpreted
the days developments as forecssting
the acceptance OF Ambassador Wilson's
resignation.
President Wilson and the ambassador
regard the future OF the Mexican situa-
ton. it was learned, from opposite
viewpoints. The president is concerned
over the morality OF any policy adopt
ed by the United States and its effect
on other Latin-American countries, and
is disinclined to strengthen a govern.
ment that came into power through the
questionable events incident to Madero's
assassination.
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situa.
ton. not from past vents, but with the
practical idea OF the future. He be-
lleveN it is the business of governments
to look to the future and his sugges.
lions have been in the direction OF ex-
tending recognition to the Huerta gov.
if it did certain things to con.
serve American interests.
While the chief officers OF the Amer.
lean government were debating the facts
OF the situation, il became known that
a movement was on foot which might
eventually spare them the necessity of
interference in Mexican affairs, upon
which the national pride OF Mexico i,

The plan contemplates a repetition OF
the process by which Diaz abdicated in
favor OF a provisional president accept

against him.
President Huerta, it is suggested in
the peace plan, might be persuaded by
his friends that, with the desperate fl.

and self-denial. He would be asked to

ARE DEADLOCKED OVER DEBT
Virginia and West Virginia Cannot Settle
5O.Year-Old Row.

Washington.-After Joint sessions be-
ginning early Saturday and continuing
until a late hour, commissioners repre-.
s%enting Virginia and West Virginia in
the half-century-old debt controversy be-
tween the two states were deadlocked.
The hitch revolved around the question
OF the amount of interest, the only Issue
now outstanding.
The Virginia commissioners demanded
that West Virginia pay to Virginia S14.-
100000 interest on the S7,1s2, COZ judg-
ment awarded by the supreme court to
Virginia as the mount West Virginia
should pay her as part of the public
debt OF the original state. To this,
West N%irginia's commissioners were I'M
willing to agree and they proposed as a
counter proposition that the entire con-
troversy be r%eopened by subcommittee
representing each of the states.

Modern literature, compared with
ancient literature. ia careless, slipshod,
not wholly grown up; 1t has little
sense Of responsibility. The chief
duty it sets before itself is to hold
the mirror up to nature and reflect the
unintelligible happenings Of life. in
all their confusion, their Inconsistency,
their inanity. Ancient literature was
dominated by q very different purpose,
1t had a profound sentiment of high
duty. The creation, SO 1t seems to the
ancients, had been left incomplete. and
man, as the creature most divine, was
charged with the labor of carrying on
the uncompleted task. With bold
hearts the Greeks set to work to piece
out the incompleteness with literature.
especially with poetry, to make up for
the neglect Of the gods by human
achievement. l look on those ancient
Greeks as l do workmen who fill in
the marshy shadows of our river
fronts, put earth upon the spongy
ooze, sow grass. set out trees, plant
flowers and create a garden where be-
fore was merely mud and slime.-At

The cure has been found SO successful
in our far eastern possession that DR..

The advantage in the new cure is
that it can be taken in its crude state,

REPUBLICANS SPLIT
OVER TARIFF BILL
ELEVEN PROGRESSIvES WILL SUP.
PORT LA FoLLETTE'S PLAN.
PROGRESS ON BILL IS SLOW
Break Over Wool acknowledgements
Are Unable to Support Smoot Sub
stitute-Senators Townsend and
Warren Attack Bill.

Washington.-A division in the ranks
of Republican senators over the tariff
revision fight became apparent Monday,
when IL Progressive Republicans began
a series of conferences to perfect sub
stitute schedules that will be Offered to
the tariff bill under the leadership OF
Senators La Toilette and Cummins.
The Progressive Republican move has
grown out OF the belief of leading SEN
ators identified with that faction that
they would be unable to support Sena-
tor Shoots substitute for the wooden
tariff. The Smoot substitute was pre-
pared some time ago and introduced at
the time the Democratic tariff bill came
back from the finance committee. The
Progressive Republicans have practical
ly agreed to center their fight about the
La Toilette substitute in the hope that
they can carry the balance of the Re-
publican party with them and possibly
win some Democrats away from Presi-
dent Wilson's free wool plan.
Progress on the tariff bill was slow
in the senate. Prepared speeches We're
made by Senators Townsend and War
ren, Republicans, and short assaults oc-
Cured upon specific items which the
Republicans held to be too radical reduc-
tions from existing law.
The Progressive Republican forces so
far have shown no disposition on the
floor of the senate to break with their
Republican associates, except in a few
votes where they joined the Democrats
in support OF lower duties. The confer
ences which began Monday, however, are
expected to solidify the Progressive ele-
ment and bring about a new alignment
OF the Republican forces.

MADE GOOD
PROGRESS IN EAST
WEST IN NEED OF RAIN, AND CROP
LOST SOME GROUND.
PAST WEEK WAS FAVORABLE
Good Rains Fell East of River and Over
Most of Arkansas and Parts of
Oklahoma-Weevils Plentiful,
But Small Damage.

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports from all
points of the cotton belt indicate a con-
dition of the crop of sal, an improve
nent for the month OF O.3 of a point.
The condition is based on July 25, the
date upon which the governments o n
dition report will be based.
The greatest improvement was motel
east of the river, where, under very ia.
vorable weather conditions, the plant
has made great progress, and made up,
to a large extent, the lateness caused by
a drouth early in the season. This I'M
provement, however, has been offset in
a measure, by some deterioration west
of the river in Oklahoma and Texas.
The weather during the past week has
been favorable in all sections except in
Texas and Oklahoma and a few widely
scattered sections in Arkansas. Benefi-
cial rains fell over the east, most ri
Louisiana and Arkansas and some por-
tions OF Oklahoma and North Texas.
There was plenty of sunshine, while tenn
peratures were around or below normal
in all sections, except in Oklahoma and
parts of Texas IN one or two days of
the week.
In Central and Western Texas deteri.
Grafton has been pronounced and good
general rains are badly needed to re-
vive the plant and start it on the way
to maturity again. Oklahoma is also
needing rain, but many places received
good precipitation during the week.
The crop is being laid by in an almost
perfect state of cultivtion, except that
in boil weevil districts cultivation is be-
ing kept up in an effort to destroy tina
the wcevil. There are still many weev,l
in portions of Mississippi and Louisiana,
but less than a fortnight ago. Damage
to date from this source is small.
