COMMITTEE WILL
MEET ON FESTIVAL
Manufacturers Slow in Re.
plying to Letters on made
in Richmond" Exhibit.

The amusement and privilege com
mittees of the Fall Festival will meet
in the Commercial club rooms tonight
to consider attractions for the Festi,
val. A number of amusement compan-
les have written and sent representa-
tives for the purpose of securing the
privilege of showing here. What COM
panies to bring here will be decided at
the meeting.
Atwood l.. Jenkins, who is organiz-
ing the Made in Richmond" exhibit,
says that although the replies to the
letters which the committee sent out
requesting the manufacturers to take
part in the exhibit. are slow in coming
in, that the producers are interested.
He has received many inquiries re-
garding the amount of space to be al
lowed each exhibitor and the arrange
ment of the tent.
He feels sure that practically all the
manufacturers of the city will enter
their products, and that the Made in
Richmond" tent will be the feature of
the Festival. A meeting of the COM
mittee will be held the first of next
week.

WASHINGTON, Aug. when the

Senator Nelson moved that counsel
for the National Association Of Manu-
facturers be given two hours for oral
examination of Col. M. M. Mulhall
James Emery, counsel for the N. A
M. stated that the examination could
be concluded in two hours by free

to another excited demand for coun-
sci for himself
The committee went into executive
session at 1880 o'clock.
Makes a Confession.
Col. M. M. Mulhall while under Wig
orous cross-examinatlon before the
senate lobby committee was forced to
confess that some of the statements
he made in his letters asserting his
ability to get inside information about
legislative matters herr and his abil-
ity to manipulate committees were the
near products of his Imagination.
In one of his letters M&ilhall said
he had given James E. Emery, counsel
for the N. A. NJ, information about
the makeup of the committees of the
House in the sixty-second congress.
Mulhall today was asked from whom
he got his inside information. "Oh,
that was just diplomatic letter as
have said before" replied Mulhall.
Cor in other words a piece of imag-
ination," said Senator Nelson.
"Well letter of Imagination if you
want to put it that way" replied Null
hall
Many times the witness said 81 am
not clear on that subject" and many
other times he demanded that his pre-
vious testimony on the subject be read
to him. The committee gave counsel

WASHINGTON, Aug. THAT am
bassador Wilson's testimony before
the Senate committee on foreign re-
lations in which he emphasizes the
fact that recognition of General Huer-
ia must be the basis of all plans for
a peaceful settlement of the Mexican
question necessitates a prompt and de-
cisive shaping of policy by President
Wilson, is considered certain in Of
6cial circles today.
President Wilson is believed to be
immovable in his policy of non-recog-
milton and the early retirement of
Ambassador Wilson is looked for.
1t is believed that the White House
has not given up hope that mediation
can be brought about as solution of
the trouble. 1t is recognized in Wash
ington that developments of the past
weeks have done little to clarity the
situation.

SECRETARY JORDAN SHOWS
RAPID GROWTH OF CITY

having grown to 22,324. Indications
are that in the present decade the
growth will be almost at the rate of
so per cent.
Many Houses Built.
Since 1910, Mr.. Jordan states that
between $50 and 800 houses have been
built each year.
Estimates of the population based
on the number of houses served by the
postoffice, places the figure at about
25,600 at the present time, which is
an increase of over $500 during the
last three years. The increase for this
period alone being almost equal to
that of the previous ten years, 4,089.
Mr.. Jordan believes that Richmond's s
growth is due largely to the fact that
the citizens have been engaged in sys-
tematic boosting campaigns which
have brought results.

Schools has retained Attorneys c. r.
Richardson and Frank Strayer to de-
fend him. A plea of not guilty will be
made to the charge of murder in the
first degree, which the grand jury will
probably return after August Is. The
defense will attempt to show that Mrs.
Schools death was not responsible di-
rectly to the wound in her throat, but
from a second hemorrhage caused by
careless dressing of the wound. 1t is
contended by the defense that the wo-
man would have survived in spite of
her loss of blood the evening she was

may be the unwritten law.

SUITS FOR
DIVORCE WERE FILED

Twenty of the thirty-six cases filed

Der is increasing constantly and dra1-

The laws of Indiana are not what
they should be and divorces are too
easily obtained the Judge believes.
As many as 80 marriage licenses
were recorded and lat hunting licens-
