AMBASSADOR WILSON suMMONED
On His Way to Washington for Con-
ference With President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan.

0cCA0tdEy DEydus
Washington, ~(Special)- President
Wilson after an early conference with
Secretary Bryan over the latest aspects
Of the Mexican situation, presented by
inquiries of foreign powers as to the
attitude Of the United States, ordered
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, at
Mexico City, to proceed to Washing
ton Immediately for a conference.
Ambassador Wilson will hurry north
On either the battleship Michigan or
Louisiana from Vera Cruz, if any delay
would be entailed by waiting for a
commercial. szteamer. Officials here
believe that the almost total Interrupt
ton Of railroad traffic between Mexico
City and the United States will force
the ambassador to make his trip by
water. He is not expected here before
July % at the earliest.
It is believed in official and diplo-
| matte circles that an important an
Rouncement of the attitude of the
| United States in the pending situation
will be made after the ambassadors
conference with the President and Sec
rotary Bryan.
The Presidents action coming close
ly after the unofficial announcement
that some of the foreign powers which
already have recognized the Huerta
government were pressing for some in
dicaton of this governments attitude
Itsward the continued disorders in Mex
leo, leads to that belief.
Secretary Bryan positively declined
to add any information to his brief n
nouncement of Ambassador Wilson's
call to Washington.
However, it is assumed that the adj
mn~istration desires to learn from the
ambassador directly what influences
actuted the foreign dipIomtic reports
in Mexico when they jointly agreed to
address their governments with what
amounted to a formal complaint
against the attitude of the United
States in its relations with the Huerta
regime.
President Wilson has kept an open
mind on the subject and is thought to.
feel himself bound to adhere to the.
policy he announced early in his ad.
ntinistration Of lending moral encour-
agement not only to such governments
in Latin-America as were founded
upon constitutional law and practice.
However, it is understood that he is
ready to give due weight to any repre-
s~entation Ambassador Wilson may care
to make.
The President has had the benefit
Of private reports fra several of his
personal friends who have travelled in
Mexico recently, but those were unom-
c4al and not sufficient to form the basis
of formal attitude if there we're to be
any change in policy.
Secretary Bryan was asked if the
coming of Ambassador Wilson to
Washington would change his p~rojec-
ted lecture tour. He replied:
'The newspapre men might have as
sumed that my lecture dates would not
interfere with business instead of as
Stunning that they would. All my lee
ture dates were made subject to can
cillation."

We ask pardon of our readers
for the appearance of the inter
view with Gov. Blease of South
Carolina, rejecting upon Secre.
tary Bryan and Senator Tillman.
Nothing he might say Of either of
these distinguished gentlemen
would be calculated to discredit
them, in the estimation Of our
Carolina folks. Inasmuch as the
people Of his State reelected him
to the Senate for tie third time
last year, it does not appear that
Senator Tillman has been discred-
tied at home, Mr.. Blease to the
contrary, notwithstanding.

II 7 STATEMENT


The suggestion Of Secretary
Bryan. on the Hendersnville chau-
tauqua platform recently, that he
had to spend his vacation lectur-
ing in order to bring his income
up to expenses of living in Wash
ington, attracted no little atten-
ton and the Colonel has been the
target for his old time critics since
The day following the statement.
Senator Bristow, a republican,
lost no time in introducing
into the Senate a resolution
calling upon Presidetn Wilson
ito advise the Senate what
would be a proper salary to
enable the present Secretary of
State to live in comfort and enable
him to give his time to the dis
charge of his public duties"
OF course. the resolution met the
fate it deserved and ssdied aborn-
ing" But the incident gave re-
publicans an opportunity to
Nhack Colonel Bryan and they did
il with evident satisfaction. And,
In the meantime, the author
of the resolution was reminded
that people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones"
Senator Bristow's attention was
called to the fact that some years
age he had indicated a willingness
to accept a Federal position and
devote only a portion of his time
to discharging the duties. A let
ter the Senator had written to
Senator. Chester [. Long, May 81,

Take Form of Individual Criticism.
Washington, Especially Senator
Penrose said today there would be no
concerted minority action against the
Democratic tariff bill and that there
would be no minority report from the
finance committee except as It might
take the form Of criticisms by various
individual Republicans. He. will re-
introduce the wool bill submitted in
the summer session of the last con-
gfess..
Senator Penr6ge said the minority
would make no organized or concerted
efforts fS argue on amendments to the
tariff bill.
.The feeling IS that any amendments
we may offer would be defeated he
said. There is neither time nor OPP
.portunity to go into tie whole tariff
proposition. The Republican party
cannot get control of the government
until the next presidential election,
and the wise policy is to wait until
that time to take up the tariff question
afresh when new business conditions
present themselves to be dealt with.
Republican senators realize That
the business of the country wants this
disposed of at the earliest pos
sible date, whether the bill is good or
bad. Al. the same time we feel it a
duty to debate the bill to a reasonable
and to make a thorough tariff

CALIFORNIA WOMEN
OYSTERS, SHE AYERS
Gertrude Atherton Says Sisters
Have InteIIects, But Are Too
Lazy to Use Them.

That California women, generally
speaking. display some OF the charac-
teristirs Of the common oyster, is the
statement which Gertrude Aatherton
made in Philadelphia when she lectured
at the Berkeley Lyceum on the Prog
ress of Women"
MY sister Californians l found to be
intellectual. but lazy she said, <and
this condition suggested to my mind
that they had the temperament of a
mollusc. So I boldly called them oys-
ters. and took them tc task for not
registering before election and otherwise
attending to their political responsible
ties. The morning after my scathins
arraignment ten thousand women hast
ened out to register, and hope they all
voted when the time came.
THE trouble with our American wom-
en- is that they cannot get over being
economical. Oh. yes. on clothes they
have succeeded In overcoming the ten
dency to scrimp and save. And they
Will spend money to get elected to Of
tices. too. But their generosity ceases
there. They will not spend to advance
the great cause.
Women must learn from men how
to spend money wisely. Men know
where 1t counts most, and they never
dream of economizing on such matters.
A politician Is a politician regardless
Of sex, but the feminine politician needs
to learn few other things. For In

seriously. 1t is all very well to take
your subject seriously. but not your
self.

why women writers should not be ex-

them to speak at some meetings and ad-
