Ambassador From Mexico Now In
Washington.
OPPOSES PLANS NOW OFFERED
washington VIII Have a "Policy''

cal Gtage-Ambaesedcr !.
DisapprOves Plans.

New York, July 26-Pausing here
for a half day on his hurried Mexi-
co TO Washington trip in response to
summons from President Wilson
Henry Lane Wilson, American am
bassador to Mexico. announced his
emphatic opposition to several plans
under consideration by the state de-
partment for bringing about peace
In the troubled Mexican republic.
Ambassador Wilson said that he
was opposed to sending a commits
sion to Mexico to try to mediate be-
tween the warning factions. He did
not say what remedy he had to offer
for the situation. He declared that
he must reserve any opinion OF this
kind until he reached Washington
and saw the president. While de-
clining to enter into an extended
discussion of any plans or to offer
any remedy of his own, Mr.. Wilson
characterized the mediation plan as
"all rot"
The proposal for a tri-partite
commission, Mr.. Wilson said, is not
feasible one. "That Is a plan OF

national bureau of republics" ne
said.
Lots has been said in the Amer
lean newspapers about American in
tervention, and perhaps some OF 1t
is inspired by persons who would be
interested in American control OF
Mexico" he added. Mr.. Wilson said
he expected to go back to Mexico as
American ambassador.
Washington, July 26.-While adj
ministration officials here believe
that the crisis will not be reached in
Mexico until the northern rebel
armies press closer to the City OF
Mexico and the federal strongholds'
indications last night were that an
effort would be made by the Wash
ington government to pursue a well
defined policy before events reach
a critical stage.
The first step in the formulation
of a policy will be taken when AM
bassador Henry Lane Wilson brings
to the president and Secretary BEy-
an first hand information of the
situation there. t

record, the senate lobby investigat-

berry VIII Be Re-Arrested.

Leavenworth, July 26.-Charles
Stevens, alias Charles Savage, the
negro convicted five years ago for
the theft at the Kansas City union
station of mail pouch containing
$4,000 will be released from the
federal prison here tomorrow morn
ing. The order for his release was
received by the prison officials to-
day.
Stevens was convicted on six
counts and sentenced to serve five
years on each. The order for. his
release was issued recently by
Judge Sanborn of the federal court
of appeals, on a writ Of habeas cor
pus.
When Stevens steps out of the
prison he will be rearrested by a
United States marshal on the specific
charge of cutting open a mail sack.
He will be taken to the county jail,
but his attorney said he had ar
ranged to secure his release on
bail. The attorney said stevens in
a few days would go to Denver
where his mother lives.
No trace of the stolen money
ever was found. When more than
$4,000 in $40 and $40 bills were
found here a few weeks ago, this
money was thought to be a part Of
the loot.

WANTS CLOTHING FIRE.PRooF,
State Fire Marshal Evolves a Uni.
que Scheme.

Topeka, July 26.--Harrison Park
man, state fire marshal, wants ev-
cry Kansan to wear fireproof cloth
ing. In the fire text book, which
the state is printing for free dis
tribution among school children of
the state, the fire marshal urges
that all families fireproof their
clothing and that they insist that
all dry goods and clothing stores
sell nothing but fireproofed goods.
When a spark touches wool it
burns little round hole, and un-
less it is a large and hot spark 1t
soon burns itself out. When a
spark touches cotton goods the
goods break into flames at once and
the entire piece goes up in smoke
almost in an instant.
Mr.. Parkman tells how inflam-
mable cotton goods are and how
dangerous the filmy summer gar
ments are when hung over stove
to dry, or even close to stove,
and how dangerous 1t is to go into
a closet where there is cotton cloth
ing and carrying lighted lamp.
Cotton goods cannot be made fire.

making them slow burning. The
recipe for "fireproofing"
cotton goods follows:
Sulphate of ammonium, parts
by weight; carbonate of ammonium,
a parts by weight; borax, 2 parts;
boracic acid, 3 parts; starch, 81
parts; water, 100 parts.

lola. July 2e.-That Mary Arm
strong Dean. the giri-wife who dis
appeared while with her husband in
court house park here Wednesday
night, will be found soon is the be-
lief OF officers conducting the search
today. A telephone message from
independence today stated that the
girl and her alleged abductor were
seen near Coffeyville by deputy
sheriff, but the officer having no in
formation that the pair should be
detained permitted them to pass
without questioning.
Added to the young husbands
conviction that the girl-bride is un-
der the hypnotic spell of strange
entrancer comes the additional theo-
ry that force was used in taking
the wife. Persons who saw Mrs.
Dean leaving the park say that her
companion was leading her rapidly
away, and railway men who saw
the couple board the Santa Fe pas
senger train declare the girl drew
away from her escort and was vir-
tually pulled UP the steps OF the
coach by the man.

expresses the fear that his wife is
being held a prisoner, and that she
would return to him were she not
restrained.

Religion is free. If 1t wasn't, some

When a man quits smoking for a
few days and friend asks him to

siders himself the greatest martyr

It wasn't real economy to withhold
funds necessary to make the $1O0,o0B
already spent On school pant a
good investment for the state.
Without a dormitory the plant for
the education OF the young women Of

to leave it so would be about as sensi-
bic as for man to spend a few thou
sand dollars on a home and then leave

work which it was intended to do from
