in the following manner, "How long
have you been here?" did you clear
your own land?" "What do YOU
raise?" "Can you grow ANYTHING
without fertilizing your soil,,'' GLOW

BRYAN BRANDS
REPORT FALSE
Europe Not Pressing For Action In
Mexico-Peace Move
Advances
PLANNING TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS
Both Factions Looking Forward To
The Ending Of All
Hostilities

Washington Aug. 2.-After a con.
ference with President Wilson Secre.
tary Bryan declared that the United
States was in no way being pressed
for action in Mexico and issued the
following statement:
1.-THE statement which appeared in
some of the morning papers to the
effect that European governments are
bringing pressure to bear on the Unit.
ed States to compel aggressive action
in Mexico is entirely without founda-
tion."
Administration officials were pleased
to observe the reports from Mexico
City that reform element in the
Mexican chamber of deputies was
planning to submit peace troposals to
both factions in the revolution. So far
can government will be t., await the
outcome of negotiations OF this char
scter.
The chief difficulty in negotiating
peace, it is admitted, is the selection
CT nonpartisan provisional presi
dent. The suggestion was made that
1t might be expedient to select one
OF the veteran diplomats now repre-
senting Mexico in posts abroad. Senior
Corrvarubias. at present minister to
Russia, and Senior Gilbert Crespoy
Martinez were mentioned.
The house foreign affairs committee
decided to ask Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson to appear and outline his
views Of Mexico.
Will Not Recognize .Huerta.
Chairman Flood made it clear that
the administration was determined
not to recognize the Huerta govern
mont and that Secretary Bryan con-
templates an attempt to get a valid,
binding election.
The determination of the committee
to call Ambassador Wilson developed
considerable difference of opinion on
whether his testimony, in view of the
wide variance between his views and
those of the president and Secretary
Bryan, might not prove embarrassing
to the administration.
Some members of the committee,
strongly inclined to give the president
and the state department a free hand
In the situation, believed Ambassador
Wilson should not be called until Sec
rotary Bryan and the president could
be consulted.
With that situation in mind Chair
man Flood will confer with the Sec
rotary and the president and an at
tempt may be made to reconsider the
action taken.

REBUILDING SHORT

About $1,000
TRACK WAS DANGEROUS
Bridges Were Unsafe and
roadbed in Serious
Condition.
TRACK WAS DANGEROUS

Chauncey E. Blake of Madison, II q
receiver of the Cazenovia & Sauk
City railroad was in Baraboo on
Thursday and says the work of re-
building the line is progressing as
fast as possible. The problem of get.
tlng sufficient help is vexing. About
$4,000 will be expended in rebuilding
the track, improving the bridges, re-
pairing the stations and increasing
the earning power of the rolling stock.
The ties on the road bed had sunk
into water in places and were decay
ing on account of the lack OF drainage.
The track is being elevated and the
bridges are being made safe. In some
instances they were about to collapse.
The Indebtedness of the road is
about $4,000. The line is little less
than six miles long and it is believed
that before long the road will be ex-
tended from Cazenevia to Richland
Center.
According to statement filed with
the clerk of court for Sauk county,
the capital stock is $4,000 and the
stockholders at the time of the
receivership were: J. H. LeimkeuhIer,
J. E. Hanzlik, town of Ironton, JU-
