Bryan Hopes They viii Reconsider


Washington, Aug. 1.-After exhibit
ing much concern over places which
would be assigned to prospective ex-
h;bitors by the management of the
Panama-Pacific exposition, the British
government has declined to participate.
The years delay in acting upon the
invitation to take part in the fair has
caused deep concern to the exposition
management, particularly as formid-
able opposition likewise had develop
ed in Germany, where certain of the
great trade associations, such as those
representing the steel and iron manu-
facturers, formally had requested the
German government to decline the in
vitation.
; In an unofficial way it is said that
dissatisfaction on the part of the great
commercial nations with certain fea-
lures of the pending tariff bill, which
they felt bore hardly upon their trade,
was the reason for the attitude of
covert hostility toward the San Fran
cisco fair. But as the Senate Finance
Committee has amended the tariff bill
in a manner thought to make it unob-
ljectionable to those nations, it was
expected that they would accept the
Invitations.
In the case of Great Britain, however
though the original cablegram of Am
bassador Page, giving notice of the
declination, now has been supplement
ed by a mail report dealing with the
subject more fully, it is not known
positively what basis of objection re
mains. 1t is thought by officials, how
ever, that while the reason assigned
by the British government is belize
that there have been too many such in
ternational expositions in recent years
the underlying objection is based upor
the view of incongruity of British par
ticipation in an event designed to eel
ebrate the opening of the Panama Ca
5 nal while there is a dispute as to it
free use.
| Secretary Bryan said he had no
| abandoned hope that Great Britain
and Germany would reconsider thei
3 decisions and participate in the e1
}. position. While he announced n
r plans, the Secretary intimated ther
would be negotiations pressing thos
t two nations to take part.

broke out in the buildings of the Mil
waukee Chronic Insane asylum short
ly after midnight Thursday and scenes
of disorder followed among the 300
patients who rushed to the windows,
smashed the lights, fought the guards
and for time had complete control
of the place.
A squad of paroled patients arrived
from a nearby asylum and fought back
the frenzied men and women. The
fire destroyed several large sheds and
barns, but heavy rainfall and sudden
change of wind prevented the dormi

sci and members of the committee, be-
between Democratic and Republican
NJ. Mulhall and everybody connected
with the case, the cross-eXamination
of the alleged lobbyist for the Nation

In the five hours Mulhall was on

Robert McCarter and James A.
Emery, attorneys for the association,
were denied the right to cross ex-
anime the witness directly, but after
much debate were permitted to sub
nit questions based upon replies the
witness made to the queries already
submitted
Senators Reed and Walsh and
Cummins and Nelson were almost at
swords points on several occasions.
but peace always was restored with
out an open break and any ill-feeling
that existed was laid away for future
reference.
Mulhall, himself, always an inter-
esting witness, ready to make COM
ments upon the attorneys of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
or it's officials, surpassed himself in
spite of continued warnings by the
chairman.
He declared once that unless the
committee allowed him to have coun-
sci he would refuse to answer fur
ther questions and would rather sc
to Jail.
Chairman Overman finally became
so angry that he bluntly told hin
unless he refrained from superfiuou'
I comments and stuck to plain answers
he would be subjected to discipline.
Mulhall then subsided.

Washington, Aug. president Will
son made it clear to those who discuss
ed the Mexican situation with him
yesterday that he had not been sway
ed in the least degree by the argu-
ments of Ambassador Wilson in favor
s. of recognition of the Huerta govern
ment in Mexico. He let it be known
that his analysis of conditions from
official and unofficial reports and his
judgmen: of what should be done had
not been altered by the Ambassadors
statements.
The President is formulating a pol
nothing that is not entirely friendly to
Mexico. He has not yet announced
what his program will be, but he is
emphatically and unalterably opposed
to the recognition, under any circum-
stances, of the government set up by
Provisional President Huerta through
the events in which President Madero
and Vice President Suarez met tragic
deaths.
It developed that Democrats in the
Senate were concurring in this view
and further discussion of Ambassador
Wilson's statement before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, brought
out a general sentiment of opposition
to the suggestion of recognition for
the Huerta government.
Senator Bacon, chairman OF the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, is of the
pronounced opinion that to recognize
the Huerta government would be put
ting a premium on revolution in Mexi-
co. He believes, moreover, that it
would be an incentive to every revolu
tionary leader to assassinate the head
of the nation with full expectation that
his act would receive the approval and
official recognition of other nations.
Senator Bacon also is of the opinion
that the recognition of Huerta far from
bringing about peace would be the
strongest encouragement to ambitious
chiefs.
Senator Bacon reflects the views o
President Wilson, who has held from
the beginning the pronounced opinion
that a great moral question was in
volved, greater than the mere judg
ment of the acts of single ruler. Ii

HONOR SNATCHED
FROM H|KER BAND
Tramp Ended, SuffragetteS Get
Order to Hand Message to
Congress, Not Wilson.

HYATTSVILLE MD, Feb. 27.-The
hiking suffragettes were robbed of the
honor of delivering the suffrage mes
sage to President-elect Wilson, for
which they have tramped 25O miles
from New York city to Washington
Today was the last lap of their hike
they being ready to enter Washington
tomorrow.
The blow was crushing one to the
hikers and was contained in the fol-
lowing telegram received by General"
Rosalie Jones from Mary Ware Dem
nett corresponding secretary of the
National American Woman's Suffrage
league, Of New York:
THE executive board today voted
chat they present the message them
selves to the congressional commit
tee"
The message which General Jones
carries was from the New York suf-
frage headquarters and there was gen
eral amazement today over the tele-
gram. The mixers leader made known
the contents Of the telegram while the
army was en- route to this city from
Laurel, Md.
The mixers became indignant. made
charges of jealousy and demanded that
their general" deliver the message to
Mr.. Wilson herself.

one," said the general I'VE must be
dignified and we shall bow to the
wishes of the New York leaders I
shall turn over the message to the

FOES Of CHARTER
HAVE A NE " PLAN
Ranks Weakened, They Pro-
pose to Put Both New DoCu-
mentS Up to Legislature.

Their organization greatly weakened,
plan to settle the charter fight in a
way that they hope will be agreeable to
both sides was generally discussed among
the opponents of the proposed reform to-
day, and some of the leaders asserted
that majority of the city council would
consent to it.
Their proposal is to pass the Gambler
Hopkins McClelland charter to the legis-
ature with the request that it be sub
mitted to the people Also they will re-
wise the old charter along the lines al
ready suggested and ask the Legislature
to enact the new provisions into law. If
the new charter is accepted by the people
it will take the place of the old charter
and the amendments. If it should be
rejected, the present charter and the
amendments would be the citys organic
laws.
Councilman Claude L. Ashley, of the
charter revision committee of twenty five,
said today that he positively had decided
not to introduce his famous amendment
barring Mayor Woodward and the mem
bers of the present council from service
under the new charter for two years.
Though the resolution was generally re-
garded as a joke, it's support at one time
was sufficient to be serious.
Councilman Ashley said, however, that
he was not surrendering his position to
any faction He declared he would let
the people know in very positive terms
just where he stood on the charter ques
tion when the right time comes. The
committee of twenty-five meets Tuesday.
Aldine Chambers, defeated by Mayor
Woodward for mayor, and Alderman
James r. Nutting, who have been the
two most active opponents OF the new
charter are still firm in their positions,
but 1t is the consensus Of opinion among
political critics that they have been bit
tery disappointed in the support they
have received.

With aged people, the blood is thin

body does not get sufficient warmth
from its food. Do you wonder that
they suffer with the cold, and sue

the winter.
Jacobs Wine Cod Liver Extract Is
not only q very pleasant tonic, but
unquestionably the best for aged
people. to make more blood. to in
crease the appetite and to give them
strength to resist the cold. Syrup OF
