tion, Now Meeting at Atlantic City,
Pleased with Washingtou,

The hospitality OF the residents Of
Washington may prove the means of pro-
curing for the National Cap.tai the next
CON "ntion Of the Amc: :can Poultry As
scciation. which is now IT Getting in At
lantic City. H. H. Collier, executive
committeeman of the association, came
to- Washington recently inclined to be
prejudiced against the Capital, but so
pleased was he with the city that he
soon became a booster. He held a con-
ference yesterday with Thomas Grant
secretary Of the Chamber OF Commerce
In Philadelphia and New York. said
Mr.. Collier. everybody is too busy to
answer the questions of the stranger
Here in Washington there is an air Of
hospitality that warns one UP to the
town. AS for beauty, your buildings and
parks beat anything / have seen. and
fave cover every city OF 5000 and over
in the United States"
Mr.. Collier has been attending the ses-
sion of the American Poultry Associ-
alton in Atlantic CITY and thinks WASH
ington's chances for 1914 are good. He
stated that the miniature post cards with
pictures of public buildings, sent out by
the Chamber of Commerce through local
made a big hit. He left an
order for 800 extra cards for distribution
in his State.
Mr.. Collier mapped out the necessary
procedure to get the 1914 convention, and
the Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly
will make a strong tight inr 1t.

HUERTA'S reply Sent
HERE in INSTALLMENTS
Answer to Proposals for Mediation Is
Being Transmitted in Cipher
Messages.
ABOUT 1000 WORDS IN LENGTH

The text Of President Huerta's reply to
the American proposals for mediation is
being transmitted slowly to Washington
in. cipher messages. The second INSTALL
ment of the reply reached President Will
son last night. This is the reply in which
Huerta turns down this governments s
suggestions.
John Lind cabled a summary OF the
reply Monday, and this was considered
at the conference at the White House.
President Huerta's reply is 1000 words
long, and is written in a bombastic style
that adopts all the fourishes Of diplo-
matte interchanges. 1t is probable that
two or three days more will elapse be-
fore the translation Of the entire reply
can be laid before the President.
Huerta. in the installments that the
President already has received. seldom
approaches a fat refusal in any OF his
references to the provisions Of the Amer
lean communication. He continually as
sures Lind Of the high esteem in which
he is held as the representative OF the
United States and Of the exalted spirit In
which he believes the United States has
entered the negotiations.
From a perusal of that part OF the
document already in Washington 1t can
be seen that Huerta does not CONSIDER
that his reply will absolutely terminate
the negotiations. It is evidently MS
purpose to reject the American proposals,
but in such fashion as to invite further
interchanges on the basis of amended
proposals.
John Lind has assured President Will
son of the lack of finality in the Huerta
note and indicated that he still had hope
for the success Of his mission.
The nature Of the reply which Presi-
dent Wilson now has in part before
him. together with the fact that John
Lind proceeded with further negotiations
after he had perused 1t in full. indicates
clearly the status of the Mexican anair.
1t is this: The United States has been
turned down at the first step. but Is pro-
ceeding with the Lind mission. en-
couraged by certain aspects OF recent
developments and hopeful Of being able
to adjust the proposals to meet condi-
tions in Mexico City without compro-
missing the general principle on which
the plan is based-the holding OF con-
stitutional elections.

PROPERTY PROVISION
in BILL IS ASSAILED
Feature Of District Delegate Measure
b Attacked By James Hugh
Kelley.
WOULD PREVENT MANY VOTING

Criticism Of the Poindexter bill now
before the Senate District Committee.
providir representation for the District
by a delegate in Congress. was made last
night by James Hugh Kelley. Of the Dis
trict Suffrage League. In an address AZ
the Peoples Forum. Eighth Street and
snnsylvania Avenue.
Mr.. Kelley said that the measure, as
a whole, was a commendable one, ana
lat the District Delegate Association
deserved support in its efforts to bring
abou' representation for the District In
Congress, but he declared that the pro-
vision for a property qualification OF vot-
ers wa- unfair and un-American- Mr..
Kelley stated that his organization was
in favor of going even further than the
provisions Of the Poindexter bill and OF
seeking absolute local self-government.
I'VE don't oppose the proposition OF
tine District Delegate Association to have
a delegate In Congress-" he said. but
we seek also local self-government and.
later such amendments to the Federal
Constitution as will give the District full
representation in Congress. We believe
that ultimately this must come. Our
league heartily indorses the provisions
of e Poindexter bill respecting bona
fide residence. degree Of education. equal
ity Of suffrage. and the disfranchisement
Of criminals, but we cannot approve the
3 vision dealing with property qualifica-
tons
There Is now In the District an ex-
emption from taxation on personal prop
erty Of less than 81. .000 and I am told
that by this provision the majority of
the adults Of the city are freed from tax
ation. The Poindexter bill provides that
each qualified voter shall pay not less
than IS taxes yearly upon real or per-
sonal property. Under such a provision
not one person in ten would have q vote.
With the suffrage open to both sexes,
not one woman in five and not one man
In three could vote. Is that popular suf-
fraEe?'

Greenville, KY, Aug. 19.-Suit for d.
vorce from Representative r. Y. Thomas
f., of the Third Kentucky District. was
flied here today by Mrs. Annie L. Thorn
as. The allegations are habitual drunk
enness. cruelty. and nonsupport In her
petition Mrs. Thomas alleges that tbs
Congressman has been habitual drunk
ard for the past year.
The custody of their two children. Bar
bara Nell. seven years old. and Annie
Lee. three. is asked. together with sutfi-
cient money to maintain and educata
them. She also asks an allowance for
herself.
Representative Thomas last night Is
sued a statement containing a wholesale
denial of his wife's charges of drunken.
ness, nonsupport, and cruelty. He in
sisted that IL was merely a series Of
trumped-up charges put together by his
wife and political enemies
Three weeks ago." said Mr.. Thomas,
my wife left here and / was under the
impression that she was going to Texas
to visit a sister. She kissed me good-by.
and i presumed that we were on good
terms.
During the last nine years I have
given her at least S25,ooo, and there is no
truth in the charge that failed to sup
port her. Just before she left Washing
ton she asked me for $500. ] did not
give 1t to her. because could not afford
to do so. This suit Is merely an attempt
to extort money from me, added to the
desire Of my political enemies to put me
out Of public life. Neither scheme will
succeed.
"I'n fight the suit all the way to the
Supreme Court of the United States. IL
for no other reason, the suit Is bound to
fail because We were married In New
York, and II is necessary to prove a
statutory orense before a divorce is
granted in that State.
II had not made up my mind to run
for reelection until this matter came up.
but now I propose to do so just to prove
that the people Of my district have faith
