DENIES THEFT OF AFFECTION
Mrs. Mackay's Answer to Million Dol
lar Suit

New York. Oct. 16.--Mrs Clarence
II. Mackay, suffrage leader and wife
OF the head OF the Postal Telegraph
Cable company. broke her silence re-
garding the million dollar suit filed
against her by Catherine X. Blake
for alleged alienation OF the affec
tions of her husband, DR. Joseph A
Blake, surgeon
Through her personal counsel, Ar
thur G. Train Mrs. Mackay denies
all OF Mrs. Blake's allegations in a
formal answer filed in the supreme
court and characterizes Mrs Blake
as one who has "a jealous disposi
ton. an ungovernable temper and no
affection or love for her husband
who, at one time, ii is alleged, she
threatened to kill
Mrs. Mackay alleges further that
DR.. Blake has not lived with the
plaintiff as his wife since the year
1904, long prior to the time when he
first knew or had any acquaintance
with the defendant"
Mrs. Mackay says she did not meet
DR.. Blake until 1909. long after the
breach had come between him and his
wife and she prays therefore that the
suit against her be dismissed.

CommeTciaIized Vice Abolished
at Detroit.

Detroit. Oct. 6.-Commercialized
vice has officially gone out of exist.
ence in Detroit. BY order of Police
Commissioner John Gillespie every
resort in the city MAS forced TO close
and its inmates either leave Detroit
or find some lawful means OF support
Ii is estimated that 1000 women are
affected by the order
After several months careful study
and investigation of conditions in
other cities the police commissioner
determined upon abolition rather than
segregation OF vice in Detroit. How
ever he has openly announced that
the police department will not concern
itself with what becomes OF the wom-
en- who are thus forced to abandon
their profession.
The work OF reformation has been
undertaken by a committee made up
of members of the Detroit chamber
OF commerce, church organizations
and other societies interested in the
subject. The committee has arranged
to feed, clothe and educate in local
institution all former resort inmates
who may come to 1t for aid until such
time as they are physically and
morally fitted to go into the world
and earn a lawful living.
AS an alternative the committee
has offered to furnish railroad trans
portation to all former resort in
mates who may desire to go to their
homes.

EUROPEAN ROYALTi
WELL REPRESENTED
Prince Arthur Of Connaught
Weds Duchess Of Fife.

London, Oct. 16-Three kings, four
queens and an empress, together with
some fifty lesser British and continent

of Prince Arthur, son of the Duke OF
Connaught, governor general of Can

Fife, in the historic Chapel Royal, ST.
James palace. The match has been
generally regarded as the nearest pos
sible approach to a royal romance, as
except for the necessity of providing a
wealthy bride for Prince Arthur and
the desirability OF keeping the duch-

bride inherited more than $4,000, 600
from her father. She is twenty-five
years of age and the prince thirty.

Conference Of Foreign Representa-
tives to Discuss Huerta's Assump
ton of Role of Dictator.
Washington, Oct. 16.-The Mexican
situation is regarded by officials here
as drifting toward a crisis, with the
United States awaiting Huerta's next
move.
The commanding feature was the
action of the Spanish minister in Mex
leo City calling a meeting of the diplo
matte corps to discuss Huerta's as
sumption of a practical dictatorship
Administration officials and diplomat
lists attached deep significance to that
This development attracted great at
tention because of the Spanish minis
ter's friendship for Henry Lane Vii
son, the former ambassador of the
United States to Mexico, and bet ausa
the Spanish minister never has sup
ported the policy of the United States
President Wilson discussed the sit
uation with Secretary Bryan and sew
eral senators and later the foreign re
lations committee of the senate had q
meeting behind closed doors. 1t was
regular meeting day, however, and
the session of the senators was no;
called by developments.
Plans for keeping an American
naval force in Mexican waters com
manded almost equal attention, es
pecially in view of the strained situa
tion following so closely Huertas an
nouncement that his governments
permission for the presence of Ameri
can men-of-war would not be re
newed this month and the announce
ment of this governments intention
to accomplish it's end without con
iiicting with the laws of Mexico by
changing the details of ships.
1t was made plain that the Wash
ington government was determined to
have naval representation ready for
any eventuaity and some observers
thought the next step toward a cul
mination of the situation might be
forced over that point.
Note Brief and ForcefuI.
! Publication of President Wilson's
latest note to Iluerta attracted wide
attention for its brevty and force.
fulness. The Mexican governments
reply was awaited with keenest in.
terest. Meanwhile all the agencies OF
government concerned in the situation
were in constant and close communi
cation.
The instructions delivered by Charge
O'Shaughnessy to the authorities a.
Mexico City, defining the attitude OF
the United States toward Huerta' s
assumption of dictatorship, were a
follows:
"The president is shocked at the
by General Huerta and as a sincere
friend of Mexico is deeply distressed
at the situation which has arisen He
finds it impossible to regard otherwise
than an act of bad faith toward the
United States Huerta's course In dis
solving the congress and arresting the
deputies.
1T is not only violation of the
constitutional guarantees, but destroys
all possibility Of free and fair elec
tion. The president believes that an
election held at this time under the
conditions as now existing would have
none of the sanction with which law
surrounds the ballot, and that the re
suit therefore could not be regarded
as representing the will of the people
The president would not feel justi
fled in accepting the results OF such
an election or in recognizing the presi
