BELIEVES DRIVER
COULD GET SPEED
Zimmerman Would Like to
See Geers Drive Long
Sought in Race.

That "Pop" Geers, the world fam
Gus veteran race horse driver, could
take Long Sought around the turf at
tWo-minute clip, is the firm belief
of Mayor Zimmerman, who now wants
to put an expert behind his 2:16A
bay gelding PAGER
II raced Long Sought for last time
and l admit | cannot get all out of
him that more experienced driver
could. That horse has a two-minute
gait in him and if Pop Geers took the
reins | wouldn't be surprised to see
Long Sought take the mile at better
than two minutes.
Il believe that if I put the hobbies
on the horse, I could pass anything
in the II class at Connersville Fri
day. I don't want to risk hobbies now
because two of my friends were killed
last when their horses were
thrown by the hobbies. AS my racing
is only for pleasure, l don't feel that I
can take such a risk. although I would
quickly do it if l had to earn a living
that way"
Long Sought is now in Connersville
where he is being limbered up on the
fair grounds track there by his train
ers. There are two trainers from the
mayors stables who travel with Long
Sought around the circuit of race
courses at which Doc has entered the
PAGER. Long Sought will pace against
a fast field in the II pace Friday.

Which County Attorney is
to Make September ,.

The county commissioners at their
meeting September 2, will determine
from the report of the county attor-
ney whether or not the inmates of the
county Jail can be worked out on the
county poor farm. The poor farm has
been greatly in need of farm labor and
according to the plan of the county of

worked there.
The law specifies that prisoners may
be either sent to the county Jail, work
house or similar institutions, for a
term to be determined by the mayor
or judge of the circuit court
The county commissioners this aft

STRUCK OUT DEMAND
(National News Associa1ion)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The story
of how President Huerta sent an ulti-
matum to the u. S. embassy Monday
night demanding immediate recogni-
ton of Mexico by the United States
was told today for the first time
President Huerta, in replying TO the
note from President Wilson offering
suggestions for the pacification of
Mexico, rejected all President Wilson S
proposals and declared that the Mexi-
can regime must be recognized by the
u. S. in twelve hours.
The Mexican minister knew the con-
tents of the note, having had a hand
In the drafting of it. Acting Foreign
Minister Gamboa, objected to the ag-
gressive tone, but the war minister and
the minister of the interior thought
that the tone of the note was no
stronger than the occasion demanded.
Accordingly this note which had all
the qualifications of an international
ultimatum, was transmitted to Mr..
OShaughnessy. O'Shaughnessy and
Mr.. Lind lost no time in breaking the
seal. Both were amazed at the tenor
of the note and the threat unless the
U. S. recognize Mexico.
II must see President Huerta at
once" said Mr.. Lind.
Despite the fact the envoy had not
been invited to the palace and that it
was nearly midnight, Mr.. Lind and Mr..
OShaughnessy jumped into an auto
mobile and hurried to Huertas palace
Lights were blazing in the presiden-
tial suite. But Huerta was not "at

the visitors chamber.
Almost at once, the president enter

Mr.. Lind proceeded Immediately up
on his diplomatic work. He told
Huerta of the consequences which
must necessarily follow the transmits.
sion of the ultimatum to Washington
The hard lines of determination in
Huertas face relaxed as he listened
patiently. Huerta paced up and down
the room as he said he believed the
course of the United States would
wreck the Mexican government and
that he did not want to plunge his al
ready impoverished country into war
He finally consented to cut out the
demand for recognition, but nc
amount of persuasion could induce him
to alter the balance of the document
In the meantime Minister Urrupia
not knowing that the demand fol
recognition had been stricken from
the reply, informed the newspaper cor
respondents that an ultimatum had
been served and that O'Shaughnessy
had been given his passports
Mr.. Lind said today that the inter
national situation was much brighter

Lenore caught Elizabeth measles and Jean
