The West Point Weekly News of yes
to-day has a double loaded editorial
under the headline, "Why Not Port
Richmond?" which reads as follows:
'If there Is any doubt about tho pro-
posed new naval dry docks being To-
Gated at Newport News, why not start
our representatives in Congress to pull
ing for West Point?
There is far more reason for its To-
cation here than ut philadelphia. This
is All open port all tho year around.
while there are often many weeks In
tho winter months when vessels can
not get to Philadelphia. West Point is
much closer to the open sea than Phila-
delphia, and it is only about two hours
further from the capes than Newport
News.
The saving cost OF site for such
n plant. IL located at West Point, would
about pay the estimated cost of Deepen
ing our channel to thirty four feet. IF
Richmond was really awake to her ma
rina sintercsts. she would; find In this one
possibility the answer TO the ques-
ton as TO whether West Point should
be her port. This great naval dry dock
could be located Just rs well ut West
Point as at Philadelphia or Newport
News. but 1t would be next thing to
impossible. and an absurdity to con-
slider Its location at Richmond
Come, Richmond, quit pudding and
get Into tho real deep water gane!"

Just what the postal card writer means
by the powers that bo" do not know,
but to tho first question beg to answer
most emphatically. Yes. Richmond can

High Point can. il can get more money
than. some other. towns. and it Is n vast
~ better distributing point than any

s-HoUR LAW BEING IGNORED.

PHOENIX, Aug. z3.-Prescott res taurants are ignoring the eight-hour law for women, which went into et- feet last Sunday. according to arri- vais from the mile-high city.
 It 8 stated that attorneys have told them that th4 law is unconstitutional Eecause it makes an exception of railroad eating houses but includes all other restaurants. This is dis crimination it is claimed, and there fore in conflict with the constitution. Some lawyers are of the opinion that the law IS class legislation because it exempts women in certain lines of employment from its provisions.
 A test case will probably be made, So far no one has filed a complaint with the county attorney.

Great Powers Indicating to Huerta They Will Support Wilson Policy--Japan in Line

Unless Definite Word Is Re ceived Wilson Will Read Views to Congress--Trev- ino to Capital

WASHINGTON, Aug. B. Great Britain. France and Japan are among the nations that have interposed their in Huence with the Huerta ad- ministration in Mexico in sup port of efforts of the United States to bring about a peace ful settlement of the revolu- ton.
 Unless some tangible over. ture, however is received within the next fortv-eight hours from EIuerta officials in dicating a desire to accept the fundamental proposals of the United States. the president will proclaim to congress and to the world the attitude Of this government toward the southern republic. Official reports to the state depart ment show the Huerta regime is in financial straits and has little prospect of getting funds anywhere to meet running ex- Penses of the, government or pay troops, already restive be- cause of deferred payments
 Insistance of the United States for Constitutional election and elimination of Huerta is reiterated positively by administration officials, a position which Lind has been instructed 10 emphasize The concessions to the Huerta gov ernrnent, it is believed here now. is to persuade President Wilson to hold up presenta- tion of his message.
 The president finished the document today and read ii over to Secretary Bryan and will discuss it Monday with members of the senate and house committees on foreign relations. In the meanwhile officials will await word from Mexico Ci:y as 10 a possible change of attitude
 The sending of special en- voy from Mexico to Wash ington to further discuss the situation with President Will son is regarded here as a dil- atory move. It is known that the Washington government has made 1t clear that such procedure would not alter the views expressed in the frs note.
 It IS L-lieved. however Huerta officials have abandon. ed the idea of sending an en- voy and seeking to develop 3 new basis for negotiations.
