of congress in point of service, at
tanned his sixty-fifth birthday ami
versary today He is now in his tenth
year as member of the senate, to
which body he was elected after
service of ten years in the house.
When Nevada first sent him to the
senate there was but one other dem

house. Senator Newlands has estab-
lished reputation as being one of
the broadest-minded men in public
life and one of the most versatile. He
has been identified with a wide var
iety of measures for the public good,
ranging from the establishment of an
art commission to supervise monu-
ments and public buildings to the
law which bears his
name.

Washington, Aug. 28.-At Secre
tary Bryan's request today the treas
ury department telegraphed to all Gus
toms agents to embargo all shipments
of arms to Mexico, regardless of to
whom consigned. A large shipment
waiting at Juarez will be withheld,
although a portion already had been
allowed to pass.
This was the Mexican situation in
brief today: Huerta has withdrawn
his request for an exchange Of am
bassadors and asked that the present
diplomatic status continue until af-
ter Mexican elections in October By
some that is interpreted as CON
cession.
A request for recognition as the
constitutional government ad inter
i'm" which was coupled with the pro-
posal for an exchange of ambassa-
doris, was, however, interpreted by
many officials as practical reitera-
ton Of the original stand Of the Huer.
ia government.
Senior Gamboa, Mexican minister Of
foreign affairs, pointed out that the
demand of the United States for the
elimination of Huerta would be met
by a provision of the Mexican consti
tuition which makes a provisional pres
ident ineligible to reelection. The
Washington government, however, de
sires assurances more definite.
John Lind, President Wilson's en-
voy was authorized to return to Mex
leo City from Vera Cruz, "if in his
discretion, it seemed advisable" 1t
is believed here he will go and that
negotiations over some of the disput
ed points, principally the retirement
OF Huerta, may be re-opened

CAMINETTI TRIAL is
AGAIN FOCUS OF
INTEREST
JUDGE REPRIMANDs ATTORNEY
FOR cRlTIcIslNG MANN ACT;
MANY WcEdEN SPECTATORS IN
COURT ROOM.

San Francisco, Aug. 2S.-At a con-
ference today between Judge Van
Fleet of the United States district
court and attorneys for the govern
ment and for F. Drew Caminetti,
charged with violation Of the Mann
white slave act, it was agreed that
the government should close its case
tomorrow afternoon and that not
witnesses for the defense need be
subpoenaed to appear before next
Tuesday when the trial will be resum-
ed.
There was a renewal of interest in
the case today and again the court
room was filled with handsomely
gowned women. Those on hand early
heard Judge Van Fleet severely repri-
mand Marshall Woodworth, chief
counsel for the defense.
Counsel for the government called
the attention Of the court to an inter
view with Woodwork published yes
terday was quoted as saying Of the
Mann act:
ut is ridiculous to suppose that the
law was framed with the intention
Of making felons Of youths like Drew
ror,ipetti Everybody knows that
congress enacted that law for the pur
pose of checking commercialized pros
titution. Caminetti believed that the
only way in which he could avoid
disgrace for himself, his family ant
Miss Norris was to leave Sacramento
for a short time until public GOSSIP
had subsided.
aThe Mann act is on trial today al
much as F. Drew Caminetti"

Mexico at once acts favorably on the
foregoing suggestions then in that
event the president will express to
American bankers and their associates
assurances that the government of the
United States of America will look
with favor on the extension of an IN
mediate loan, sufficient III amount TO
meet the temporary requirements OF
the defacto government of Mexico"
In his reply Gamboa points out al
though Lind says he recognized no
instruction from the president of the
United States, yet in the name Of
that same president you submit to the
consideration of my government three
propositions" He refers to Lind's
statement that If the foregoing prop

authorized you TO say that he will ex-
press to American bankers assurances
that your government will then look
with favor on an extension of an i'm

Answering this Gamboa begs to be
excused from direct reply for time

ed by petty interests, Mexico should
renounce the right which upholds the

PALACE OF PEACE
DEDICATED At

ANDREW cARNEGIE's GIFT TO IN
TERNATIoNAL COURTS FORM
ALLY OPENED WITH IMPOSING
CEREMONIES TODAY
az optIe A. 2. leased WIrel

The Hague Aug. 2S.-The capital
was gaily decorated today in honor
of the ceremonies incident to the
dedication of the palace of peace,
Andrew Carnegie's magnificent gift
as home for the permanent court of
arbitration. Many notable men, prin-
cipally diplomats, attended the oere-
monies:
The palace Of peace winch was ded-
icated with impressive ceremonies to-
day, is the gift of Andrew Carnegie,
who in 1903 placed at the disposal of
the Dutch government the sum II
$1,5OO,OOO for the purpose, as express
ed in his offer, of erecting and main
tanning at The Hague a court house
and library for the permanent court
of arbitration established by the treaty
of the 29th of July, 1899."
To provide a site for this the first
structure ever erected for such pur-
pose, the Dutch government appro-
priated $275,OOO. The site selected is
in a section Of wooded and hilly park
stretching from The Hague to sehey-
eningen, and the corner stone was
laid July 80, 1907.
A worldwide competition for plans
and designs for the peace palace was
established and the first prize was
awarded to M. Cordonniere, Brus-
sells architect. The building as com
pleted. however, does not represent
the original plans, the Carnegie com
mission having reserved the right to
modify all designs. With Mr.. Gordon
niere's plans for foundation, Mr. van
de Steur was appointed to carry out
the modified design and remained in
direct control Of this work until the
completion Of the building.
The palace Of peace as completed
does not represent any precise style
Of architecture, but it is regarded by
architects as one of the most impress
siye of modern buildings to be seen
in Europe Rectangular in shape, it
forms roughly a square of IS yards
BY Sc yards, and enclose beautitu'
formal garden On three sides the
building constitutes the court house,
and on the fourth or west side are the
quarters Of the library The facade
of the second floor is adorned with
statutes, the figures representing Art

merce, Industry, Conscience, Flo
quence, Will-Force Study, Authority

LAND MATTER. IS EXPLAINED
QUESTIONS DEALING WITH lRRI-
CATION RIGHTS HANDLED BY
EXPERT AT LEAVENWoRTH
HEARING.

George A. Morrison, county engineer
Of San Miguel county, who was sub
poenaed to appear before United
States Commissioner Lee Bond at
lLeavenworth, Kan, last week to give
testimony in the case of Don A. Noun
Day. and wife, Mrs. L. D. w. MounDay
versus the state of Kansas, in connec-
ton with land frauds and the abuse
Of the United States mails, returned
last night from Kansas after having
been there for the past week. During
his stay in Leayenworth, Mr.. Morris
son was questioned perhaps more than
any other witness that appeared at
the hearing. A number Of the most
prominent lawyers in the state of Kan
sas handled this case for the Noun
Days, among whom was Dick Hite,
considered the best in the entire state.
Mr.. Hite examined Mr.. Morrison and
did all the questioning for the Noun
Days.
Mr.. Morrison was questioned from
the advertising pamphlet that had
published by the MounDays. In this
advertising matter the Pecos Valley,
which is situated about o miles from
the Ortiz grant, was used extensively
for illustrations. Mr. Morrison was
questioned as to the Iocation OF TINS
valley and as to why the land on the
Ortiz grant was not considered in the
Pecos valley in that it was located
practically in the valley Of that river.
This was explained by Mr.. Morrison
as that the land on the Ortiz grant
was not considered by the New Mex
leo people as in the Pecos valley. Mr..
Hite also questioned Mr.. Morrison in
connection with this valley why, since
the Pecos river was at all times prac-
tically a well filled stream, this wa
ter could not be used for irrigation
| purposes Of the Ortiz grant He was
Informed that the water had been fill
ed upon by the Las Vegas grant. A
statement waAIbroughtb before the heaF
ling to the effect that the high water
mark of this river was 60 feet above
the bed Of the stream. Mr.. Morrison
upon being questioned on this point
stated that the highest possible mark
would be ten feet and possibly 10 but
not over Is. In a number of other
instances Mr.. Morrison's evidence
4 proved to be the knell of the Noun
Days At the beginning Of the hear
Mr. and Mrs. MounDay showed pleas
ure and at times disturbed the pro
ceedings with laughter while witness
that had been secured for their side
of the question was testifying. At the
end of Mr.. Morrison's testiony they
we're quiet subdued and showed ankle
ty at the proceedings. The hearing
was finished on August 22 and at that
time sufficient evidence had been sub
tmitted to hold the MounDays over for
a jury trial which will be held prob
ably during the month Of October.
Morrison will probably be called to
testify during these proceedings and
will make number of investigations
Of the matter before that time,

After giving in full Mr. Lind's origi-

reply on August 16, the government
organ publishes Mr.. Lind's second
note of August 25, which follows in
part:
"Mr. Minister: The president Of the
United States Of America has not di-
rected me to answer the observations
contained in your note of August 16
and inasmuch as they are not by me
deemed pertinent to the suggestions
contained in my instructions commun-
icated to you, refrain from discus
sing them.
"As to the source of action suggest
ed by you to be taken by the United
States, may say that the president
Of the United States regards the ques-
tion of recognition of the defacto gov
ernment and of any future govern
ment in Mexico as one wholly for the
United states to determine. In the
exercise of its sovereign rights in his
behalf the United States will not hesi-
tate to suggest the adoption by the
defacto government of Mexico seek
ing recognition, especially at time
of serious domestic disturbanc, of such
course of action as in the judgment
+, Of the United States can lead to rec
ognition in the future.
I'm that spirit and in the spirit
voiced in his original instructions the
president Of the Unite States OF
America authorized me to submit for
the consideration of the defacto gov
ernment in Mexico:
First, that the election called foi
October 26, 1913, shall be held in &C
cordance with the constitutional laws
of Mexico.
Second, that President Huerta Il

for in paragraph C. of my origina
instructions.
Third, that the remaining Dropo
sition contained in my original in

stances permit in the spirit Of tnei
proposals.
