WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS

washington, Aug. 20.-Hopeful
though somewhat puzzled by the days
developments. administration officials
anxiously awaited last night the re-
ceipt of the Huerta governments COM
plete reply to the American proposal,
communicated by John Lind, personal
representative of President Wilson in
Mexico.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan had received during the last "a
hours:
"A summary from Mr.. Lind giving
briefly the Huerta governments rejec-
tion of the American proposals.
"a message from MIR. Lind stated
that he had been in conference at an
early hour yesterday with Provisional
President Huerta; that the interview
had been cordial and was brought
about at the suggestion of Huerta
himself.
"a denial from Charge Onslaught
messy. authorized by Provisional
President Huerta. declaring there was
no truth in the report of an ultima
tum demanding recognition from the
United States"
Senators Delay Debate.
This information coming in discon-
istration officials themselves con-
fessed some difficulty In understand
ing, was given to members of the Sen
ate committee on foreign relations. re-
publicans as we'll as democrats, and
had the effect of staving off debate on
the Mexican question. following sensa
tional reports of threatened sever
ance of relations by the Huerta gov
eminent.
Officials, though somewhat skeptical
of the outcome OF the present negotia-
tions. took the view that nothing could
be done by the United States at least
until Mr.. Lind actually concluded his
parleys with Huerta and his cabinet.
with whom the American envoy has
established pleasant unofficial rela-
tIons.
1t is believed here in some quarters
that Provisional President Huerta has
practically decided to resign in favor
OF Senor Gamboa with the intention
of being a candidate in the coming cleo
ttons. No direct statement has come
to the state department at any time
that Huerta could not be a candidate.
though the informal understanding
here has been that he would not. With
the country up in arms again his re-
gime it is generally denied here that
Huerta could be elected. The sugges-
ton that Mexican commission COM
posed of Representatives of both fac
tions might conduct the election after
Senior Gamboa had been made pro-
visional president has been advanced
in Latin circles here.
Messages came from many sources

day.

NEW PROPOSITIONS DUE

Washington. Aug. 21.-An attempt to
pass a vote of confidence in President
Wilson'S Mexican policy was blocked
in the House democratic caucus today,
when Representative Saunders of Nir-
ginia introduced such resolution, and
Representative Hardwick of Georgia
objected on the ground that the time
and place We're inappropriate. 1t was
dropped. None of those present inter-
dence, however
Representative Henry asked If Mr..
Saunders had consulted Secretary
Bryan. Mr. Saunders said he had not,
and that 1t was not necessary Mr..
Henry insisted that no such resolution
should pass in caucus without being
taken UP with Mr.. Bryan Mr. Hard
wick contended that it was best not
to take any action which might COM
NIT the House in such grave matter
Mexico City. Aug. 21.-Further me-
gotlations looking to peaceful settle
nlent Of the Mexican situation, follow
ing Provisional President Huerta's re-
lection of President Wilson's proposals
as submitted by his personal repre-
sentative, John Lind, would appear to
now depend on Washington. If tho
United States government is willing to
open the controversy there is every
reason to believe the Mexican govern
ment would be willing
An official statement from Frederick
Gamboa. the Mexican foreign minister,
says that the negotiations between
Mr.. Lind and the Mexican government
have not been entirely broken Off, but
that they "nre being continued con-
fldentially," This statement was given

newspapers for local publication this
morning. 1t was the first news given
to the local press since Monday morn
ling.
Mexico's reply to the United States,
while couched in diplomatic language,
was definite rejection Of President
Wilson'S proposals, as presented by
Now Deal Asked.
Unless the Washington government
sees fit to submit new propositions. 1t
is considered here that negotiations
Will be closed. What the Mexican gov
ernment may do appears largely a
psychological problem.
Tho statement made by Dr. Urrutia,
minister of the interior, on Monday
night and subsequently denied. that
the United States had been given until
Tuesday night to recognize the Huerta
administration, is taken to indicate the
attitude OF at least a portion of the
Mexican government. But the con-
servative element appears to have won
the upper hand and is showing a ten
dency to continue friendly relations
with Mr. Lind
Eek Governor Lind today is awaiting
instructions from Washington He
still is optimistic and believes that the
Mexican government may yet elect to
entertain President Wilson's peace
proposals.

ground that he is an undesirable alien

ceived word tonight that the district
attorney of Dutchess county, in which
Matteawan is located, was on his way
here prepared to swear to warrant
charging Thaw with bribery, an extra
ditable offense. if necessary.
Lawyer to Appeal.
w. L. Shurtleff, the Coaticook law
yer retained by Thaw, denounced the
hearing before Justice Dupuis as unfair
and said he would apply tomorrow for
writ of habeas corpus for Thaw prior
to the hearing before the extradition
commissioner. Should the writ be re-
fused, Mr.. Shurtleff said he would seek
an appeal.
There is every indication that Thaw
intends to wage bitter fight agains,
extradition, deportation or both.
From his cell in the county Jail last
night he sent out to the newspaper men
a statement under this caption, type
written in capitals:
NO one has contended that for the
nearly two years Thaw has been in the
Tombs he has been insane. There is nc

Van Fleet evidence Of that nature was
immaterial. The jury was there mere

state line with Marsha Warrington,
did he pay her way and did he go for
immoral purposes?
What blackening Of character was
done DiggB did himself. He testified
merely to the plight into which he had
worked himself. and there was this bit
of testimony about the companion of
his errors:
Relate the facts concerning the
visit of Lola Norris, Caminetti, Miss
Warrington and yourself to your home
on that night early in January, during
the absence of your wife. Did you take
Miss Warrington into your wife's bed
room?'
Miss Warrington took me in

Warrington's alleged gloating over her
triumph over the absent wife.
Wife and Mistress Compared.
Mrs. Diggs was not forced to listen
to all these details. Part of the time
she stood outside the door. waiting to
be called. But there was an ordeal in
store for her. She had to submit to
the curious comparison by the women
spectators between herself and Marsha
Warrington. who sat for 40 minutes at
the governments counsel table, while
the court room stared first at mistress

ORIGIN OF AN EXPRESSION.

Every one is familiar with the
term "canard." used to describe an
improbable story. The origin of the
word is older than that of news
papers.
In the sixteenth century some
Dutch fishermen brought news of a
marvellous ''canard,' or duck, which
was born at the bottom of the sea,
apparently out of nothingne-s.
Another version had it that a spe-
ciaI kind OF tree produced capsule,
which opened and had duck inside.
The naturalists of the period be-
lieved in these stories, but not SO the
public, hence duck" became the

ACTIONS AND WORDS.

An Italian psychologist maintains
that as an orators gestures are in
voluntary, they afford a test of his
sincerity.
For instance, If the speaker plays
with his watch chain, he is on his
guard, and his utterances are not en-
tirely frank.
Should he sway his body from side
to side, it is a sign of versatility and
of an active mind; while a constant
repetition of the same gesture is held
to indicate that his heart Is in the
subject, and that he is sincere.
There would seem to be some in
consistency In this, since the orator
might fiddle with his watch chain
every few minutes.
The idea recalls the remark of a
wit, who said that mans trousers
were indicative of his position in
life. IF they bag at the pockets -
was the saying, che has money. II
they bag at the knees, he has brains"
