Clarke Station, Ind, July 2.-Otto
Kunze of this place had a very mar
row escape from drowning in Lake
Michigan at Pine yesterday afternoon.
While out bathing he went out with
several young fellows in a boat Not
realizing that the water was about ff-
teen feet deep Mr. Kunze jumped out
OF the boat and, not being able I'd
swim. expected to wade to shore. His
companions were so shocked when he
went down for the first time that they
were almost unable to render assist

Brewer. who swan out and seized Otto
on his last time down, he undoubted1y
would havt been another of the many

WHY TIMES ADS
ARE BEAR CATS

That TIMES want ads bring re-
suits was again proven this week
when c. H. Stewart of Hammond
inserted two rent ads. one for L
room fiat and another for a store
building on Holman street. In each
instance he seceived a long string
of answers and inquiries, and to-
day he informed THE TIMES that
both of the places had been rented
and will be occupied the first part
of next week. Mr.. Stewart seemed
surprised that the two insertions
would bring such a large number of
answers and immediate results.

CAPTURE
SUSPICIOUS
CHARACTER

The Hammond police are led to be-
lieve that they made a clever capture
last night when youth giving his
name as MiltcN West, 110 n. Carpenter
street. Chicago. was arrested on sus-
picion at the Erie yards by officer
Bush. The following jewelry was
found on his person: Thirty gold filled

IL watch foos, 1 watch charm. 1 brace
let, neck chains and lockets, pair of
cum buttons, stickpins. tie clasps.
leather belt, Ss in money and a number
of other articles.
Today the police are working on the
case and hope to obtain some clues in
a short time. When young West was
booked at the station he gave his age
2z years old, but later told officer
Law that he was only 16 years old
and that he had served 1 to IA years in
the penitentiary for committing an Of
fense at Peru, Ind. West claimed that
he bought the jewelry from q peddler
at Madison and Carpenter street, for
which he paid sum of s5.

AUTO TRUCK

The breaking of a stearing gear

last evening on Sheffield avenue, near

running into an adjacent lot. high

Fortunately there were no small chill

Deep in the throes of shakeup, the

around the capitol yesterday.

When Superintendent Caldwell first

that no changes would be brought

FEELING IS STRONG
AGAINST AMERICANS

(By Federal Wireless Telegraph.)
WASHINGTON, July 16-(Special
to The Advertiser) Reports from
United States consuls in Mexico indi-
cate that the anti-American sentiment
in that country is growing. Both the
Federals and Mexican Rebels are in
censed against United States citizens.
Oscar Braniff, one Of tho richest men
in Mexico, conferred today with Presi.
dent Watson, and it is understood he
reported that conditions III the South
ern Republic are alarming.
After this conference statement
was issued ~ Secretary of State Bryan
that Amrasa, dor Wilson had been sum-

to affirm or deny the report that Ger.
many had informally requested tho
United States to intervene in Mexico.

Mrs. Joe Forage Has Alleged
Neglectful Spouse
Jailed.

Expressing considerable doubt as to
whether the new wife desertion law
will hold water, the first case under
the act was commenced yesterday by
the arrest of Joe Ferrage for desertion
of his wife, ON warrant sworn by the
woman
The arrest was made at the direct
request OF the wife, but it is under
stood that several attorneys refused to
take up the ease for her on the ground
that the law had been mixed up in its
Passage by the legislature and that
action under it would probably be
fruitless.
The chief fault in the new law, it is
said, is that 1t does not plainly estab-
lish jurisdiction. The first section,
stating that the ofrense is misde.
meanor and providing the penalty, is
plain. But the next section, accord
ing TO part of the legal fraternity,
gives the court powers to do things
that the police court, not being court
Of record can not do. Thus they say,
the first section seems to place its
enforcement under the jurisdiction of
the police cOurt and the second section
seems to place it under the circuit
court.

WASHINGTON, July Especial
to The Advertiser) Acting on instruc-
tions from President Wilson, Secretary
of State Bryan today telegraphed
Henry Lane Wilson, American ambas-
sador to Mexico. to come to Washing
ton Immediately for a conference OIL
the MEXICAN situation. The President
desires detailed report Of conditions
there.
Ths hope Of the administration TO
postpone action in regard TO Mexico
until the october election in that coun-
try, it is generally believed, has been
destroyed as result Of the informal
Representations OF Great Britain. 1t
is understood that the British foreign
oifice has practically served notice on
the state department that the United
States must guarantee peace in Mexico
under the Monroe Doctrine. Other
European nations are expected to fol
low.
The United States is virtually the
only civilized nation now withholding
recognition Of the Huerta government
in Mexico. II is feared if the United
States were to recognize Huerta now
it would be construed as 'back-
down. and that Huerta would become
more arrogant than ever.
The fact, however, that the Huerta
government has not been recognized
makes it difiicult adequately to protest
against the treatment accorded Ameri-
can residents, and Ambassador Wilson
is prevented from acting in concert
with represen es of the other pow
crs in Mexico CITY.

the general who displayed the greatest
ability during the revolution, has re-
quested TO be allowed to take the field

that Wong Hing, who is leading the
