PUBLIC PARK is WANTED
Land Worth s15,ooo,ooo, However, Is
Hardly Big Enough for an
"Old Cat" Game.

New York.-The latest project for
a New York park is the rather stag
gering proposition that the city take
over the site Of the Equitable build
ing which burned last winter. and
make it into an open square. The
land is valued at s15.00O,0O0 and is
hardly big enough for boys to play
five-old-cat in without breaking some
body's windows
But It is in the heart Of downtown
New York. one block from Wall street
and the hole where the old Equitable
building stood has proved a welcome
source of light to many Offices where
the sunlight had not fallen since long
before the Spanish war.
That the park plan will go through
at any such cost, when a single mil
lion Of the money would give play
grounds to four or five hundred thou
sand children who now play in the
streets, is doubtful But It brings up
the curious fact that a little more
than a century ago there was actually
a garden on the same ground About
1858 Philip Stoutenberg owned the
whole site. and there he established
a garden, where he raised tulip bulbs
to sell to his Dutch neighbors

GOLD AND PROOF ARE GONE
Thieves Stole $4,000 From Bank Of
ngland--Evldence is Now
Missing.

London.-The international gang OF
thieves, which planned and executed
the recent theft of $4,000 from con
signment OF 81 200, 600 from the Bank
On London to the Credit Lyonnais in
Alexandria, Egypt, is proving more
than match for the English and con-
tinental police. When the consign-
ment reached Alexandria il was found
all the boxes were sealed. but that two
contained lead instead of sovereigns
According to the messengers of the
Bank of London great precaution was
taken in preparing the consignment of
gold 1t was first packed in bags con-
tanning $4,000 each. Five of these were
placed in each case. The 40 cases, each
clamped with iron bands and bearing
eight seals, were loaded on a steamer
and carried TO Bremen. On the ship
they were kept in a strong room to
which there were three keys, kept by
the captain and the chief officer.
Representatives of the Credit Lyon
nais received the cash at Bremen and
transported it by rail to Trieste, where
it was transferred to an Austrian
steamer, which delivered it to Alex
andria.
Although the theft was not diseov.
cred until the cases of gold arrived
in Alexandria, it is believed the theft
occurred on the railroad portion of
the journey.

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Two U. S. Warships in Turkish Waters
No Danger Reported.

In the face of the alarming de-
spatches from Constantinople officials
of the State Department found much
to reassure them in the fact that the
United States has two armored cruis-
ers, the Montana and the Tennessee,
in Turkish waters.
The Montana is at Beirut and the
Tennessee is at Smyrna. Both are
ready to give aide or refuge to Amer.
leans who may be endangered as the
result of the general upheavel now
threatened. At Constantinople are
a number OF warships of European
navies, and for the present American
interests in the City of CONSTANT
nople will be left to their protection.
Ambassador Roekhill in his despatch
es made no suggestion that there is
any danger to foreigners in Constan-
tinople at present. Most of the Amer
leans in Turkish territory are mis-
sionaries and their families.

INFANT TOILERS IN GOTHAM
Investigator Discovers a Baby iS
Months old at Work on Arti-
fetal Flowers.

New" York. The revelations about
baby factory workers in tenements in
the metropolis. brought out at the
hearings Of the state factory investi-
eating commission. have shocked New
York and cast q damper over much or
the joyousness OF this holiday season.
One investigator. a woman physician,
actually found an infant eighteen
months old working at the manufact-
ure of artificial flowers. A child Of
three was found working on corset
covers. Four-year-old workers ap-
parenuy are not uncommon.
The work is done in the tenement
homes and frequently the children are
compelled to get up at FIVE o'clock in
the morning and toll until far into the
night One family OF such toilers,
consisting Of a mother and four chill
dren. secured a combined income of
between FIVE and six dollars a week.
Many Of the child workers are dis
eased. tuberculosis was found by
one investigator in about a third of
the families 1t is believed that as a
result of the hearings stringent laws
viii be passed regulating home factory
work in tenements. and there is a pos
sibility that such work may be abol-
ished

INAUGURAL RECEPTION OFF.
Senate Democrats Vote Against Use of
Building for Entertainment.

There will be no inaugural recep-
tion marking the induction into Office
of Woodrow Wilson. The Democrats
Of the Senate are charged with the
responsibility of blocking the sug-
rested public reception, which was
to be a substitute for the inaugural
ball.
There remains now only the in
augural parade and some of the Wash
ington people are fearful that this
may be eliminated. While the Senate
Democrats. individually and collec-
lively, as sumo the responsibility OF
blocking the public reception, the
fact is that Governor Wilson is indi-
rectly charged with this also.
His statement at Trenton that he
would be perfectly content" to have
the reception cut out of the pro-
gramme is believed TO have caused
the Democrats in caucus to vote unan-
imously against the use of the Cap
tol building for a reception.

Mexico Wants to Consider Reply Re.

nor Lind.

Washington, Aug. 2G,-President
Wilson will not deliver his message
to Congress on the Mexican situation
until tomorrow afternoon at l o'clock
The change of plans is due to 6
joint request received from Former
Governor John Lind and Senor Gam.
boa, minister Of Foreign Affairs, ask.
ing further opportunity for the Mex
lean government to consider the medi,
alton proposals of the United States
This is regarded as a preliminary
step toward an acceptance of these
proposals.
In explaining the postponement
Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the
President, said:
"Last night about midnight, after
the conference between the President
and the Foreign Relations Committees
of the two houses, dispatch was re-
ceived from Mexico City in which
Mr.. Lind united with Senior Gamboa
in requesting the President to post
pone his address to Congress until
Wednesday, in order to afford the
authorities at Mexico City opportu-
nity for further consideration of the
proposals of the United States, in
view of certain supplementary sug-
gestions by Mr.. Lind. The Presi-
dent, has, of course, consented, and
expects to address Congress at p. m.
Wednesday.
What the supplementary suggestion
by Mr.. Lind are could not be ascer-
tained here. 1t is known, however,
that the initial suggestions came not
from MIR. Lind, but from the Huerta
government. In no sense has the
United States abandoned the essen
ials of its proposal.
These essentials, it became known
today, on high authority, are as fol-
lows:
First, that there shall be a cessa-
tion of hostilities and definite arm
istice
Second, that there shall be early
elections.
Third, that Huerta shall bind him
self not TO be a candidate in these
elections.
Fourth, an agreement by both fac
tions to abide by the result of these
elections.
It was definitely learned that at no
time has the United States insisted
on the resignation of General Huerta
as provisional president.

HUERTA HAS AT LAST
WEAKENED.

At almoS: the very moment
: that President Wilson was pre-
pairing today to go to the Cap
: itol snd read his message to
;. Congress signalling the end of
: all negotiations with the Mex
ican government, word came
from Mexico City asking that
the reading of the message be
deferred. Huerta wants more
time to consider the mediation
proposals of the United States.
There is to be nc weakening
at this end. All concessions,
and they would be important
ones, must come from Huerta
himself, who twenty-four hours
ago was Haunting to the world
his defiance of the United
States, and His Rejection Of
our efforts to bring about
peace.
In consequence of the request
for delay, President Wilson will
defer the reading of his mes
sage until ! o'clock tomorrow

plete reconsideration on the
part Of the Mexican ruler, the
message may never he read.
