gram from a subordinate who was on
a furlough, but was expected back

 American Woman.

Colorado Springs, Aug. 30-Speak- ing before the governors conference, Gov Edward F. Dunne of Illinois pre- dcted that within a few years there will not be a state in the Union but which will have a public utility com mission. empowered by law to control the service and rates of the corpora tions of the state.
 Gov. Dunne's subject was "The Growth of Public Control of Utilities" :" In the course of his address he re- viewed the possibility of state control of utilities, beginning with New York and Wisconsin, the first states to adopt such laws Gin 1907), and carry ing the story down to the present year, when Illinois, Missouri, Maine, Colorado, West Virginia, Indiana and Montana created public utilities com missions.
 The Wisconsin law, the governor explained, has been the guide for most of the states, including Illinois. and has been pronounced by many of the advanced thinkers of the day as the best and fairest law yet enacted for the control of public utilities.

Lind to Stay at Vera Cruz.

Vera Cruz, Aug. 30.-John Lind de. cided to make his headquarters here, because he is in easier and more re- liable communication with Washing. ton than when in Mexico City When Gen. Huerta's latest note, expressing a desire for renewed negotiations and the possible acceptance of the Ameri. can proposals, was brought here by a messenger, Lind undertook to conduct further negotiations from Vera Cruz unless ordered by Washington to re. turn to Mexico City, preferring direct cable and wireless communication with the United States rather than land wires and Mexican operators.
 Gen. Huerta notified Lind that his government was willing to resume the conferences and that he was disposed to accept President Wilson's pro posals. at least in a large part, for the sake of bringing about internal peace and recognition from the United States.
 William Bayard Hale, who sailed for Washington via Havana and Key West, said he thought his trip to Washington, carrying the originals of the Mexican notes to Lind and his first-hand impressions of conditions, would do much to clarify the atmos. phere.
 The tension of the natives was shown when those on the water front were thrown into consternation by a report that many war vessels looking like American ships had been seen without the harbor. A pilot reported the ships, saying they had disap- peared when they received wireless instructions from Admiral Fletcher, aboard the Louisiana.

Comment Abroad Unfavorable.


 London, Aug. 30.-The London pa pers continue to find little reason for encouragement in the situation be tween Mexico and the United States, and express the strongest doubt as tc the wisdom of President Wilson's pol icy, mainly on the ground that Mexico is not yet fitted for democratic gov ernment.
 The Daily Telegraph fails to see how even the acceptance of MT. Will sons conditions by Gen. Huerta would operate to bring about peace and SC. curity in Mexico, and contends that whether wise or unwise, the refusal o! the United States to recognize the Huerta administration has created an unfortunate situation.
 The Daily Graphic asks if Secretary Bryan regards the situation as en- couraging, why troops are being rushed to the frontier, and says that President Wilson's policy is interest ing as an idealist experiment in inter national politics, but, carried out log ically and consistently, must end in intervention.

Chooses Coast Town Because He Is in Quicker Communication With Washington-HaIe Departs
 With Original Notes.

Mexico City, Aug. 30.-Americans here are of the opinion that Gen Huerta eventually will accept the pro- posals of President Wilson. A report, uncontirmed, that Charge Nelson O'Shaughnessy had telegraphed to John Lind, requesting him to come to Mexico City at once, was construed by the optimists to mean that Huerta's acceptance was assured.
 The Mexican foreign office now is making public all notes exchanged by Gamboa and Lind as rapidly as they are written or received. Accordingly, the Mexican people have better idea than formerly of what the United States is trying to bring about.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug. 30- "Gentleman Roger" Thompson, the New York chauffeur who whirled liar ry K. Thaw away from Matteawan in an automobile, was admitted to bail of $500 by Police Magistrate Mulvern. Thompson had appeared for trial, charged with aiding Thaw, a lunatic, and therefore an undesirable, to enter the dominion. F.

 Thompson's counsel, Louis St. Lau. rent, acting with the Thaw counsel objected to proceeding on this charge and at their request adjournment was granted till Wednesday, Sept. 8.
