IN SECRETARY'S ABSENCE, PRES DENT AND MOORE WILL
 HANDLE PROBLEMS.
BRlST0W REVIEWS CRITICISM
Senator Bacon Says Senate Resolu- tion Was for Simple Purpose of Starting Discussion of Com
 moner's Course.

Washington, July 18.-Secretary of State Bryan early this morning re- turned to Washington from Mountain Lake Park, Md, where last night he delivered his first lecture in an effort to recoup the losses he says he will suffer by being President Wilson's cabinet officer
 Bryan will attend the cabinet meet ing today, which will be devoted chiefly to a discussion of the Mexican situation.
 It was learned that President Will son, after John Bassett Moore had been appointed counselor and assist ant secretary of state, gave Bryan per mission to take his vacation at a time when chautauqua lectures would be the most profitable. He has given him permission to be away during the next six weeks.
 Senator Bristow, who introduced the resolution in the senate calling on the president to inform congress just what salary was necessary to keep secretary of state off the lee ture platform had the following to say:
 Secretary Bryan's second state ment regarding his featuring for mon ey has astounded me even more than his first statement. That the present secretary of state should have such sordid view of the government service is amazing.
 Tt is well known that men holding high public offices could, in almost ev- cry instance, make more money if they practiced their professions or continued in private business. Yet the secretary of state is not content to try to live on $1,00O a month and, ii necessary, to spend some of the money he has made previously.
 ITO cause the people to pay money to hear the secretary of state, the highest officer of the cabinet, deliver addresses is wrong, I believe It is using the office for making money"
 Senator Bristow said his resolution would have to be adopted or voted down by the senate, or referred to a committee. Senator Bacon. chairman of the committee on foreign relations. said he thought the resolution would be handled in a routine way" and that he did not believe it would be adopted
 In my opinion, the resolution was introduced merely for the purpose of bringing about discussion of the course taken by Secretary Bryan, with reference to his lecture tours" said Senator Bacon.

conducting the hearing of the N. A. M. lobbyist, Col Mulhall, to summon him to the witness stand.
 In the fifth day of the colonels tes- timony every disclosure of the secret activities of the N. A. M and the col onel, it's former star lobbyist, was followed by letter or telegram prais- ing his skill as a briber of labor un- ions, as the looter of congressional campaigns and as a manipulator of underground lobby work at the la tional capital
 In five minutes General Manager Bird, who was disclosed by the letters as having directed most of the under takings of Col. Mulhall, gave to the members of the OveTYhan committee pretty fair idea of the attitude that the association is to assume when called upon to answer the Mulhal1 charges.
 Bird, big in physique and aggressive h manner. opened up the line of de- fense-or rather, attack-to be adopted, without waste of time. He parried with Senator Reed, who asked perfectly obvious questions. To one intended to develop the relations be- tween the National Association of Manufacturers and the Anti-Boycott league, the manager of the N. A. NJ. replied with considerable asperity:
 They have no more to do with each other than your head has with that chandelier"
 Birds introduction as a witness fol lowed request from Col Mulhall that he be permitted to rest for a few min- utes.
 Senator Reed called Bird to the stand to ask if he had obeyed the subpoena of the senate to produce all the books and papers in his New York office.
 Yes. 1 have brought over an ex- press car full of documents relating to the work of our association" re- piled Bird, "and have also removed the entire New York office to Wash ington for the convenience of this com mittee'-this with a touch of sar- casm.

eign commercial interests in Me. clamoring for recognition by the United States of the Huerta regime. but that the state department has been advised a number of American interests feel the same way. More over, 1t was pointed out that if the United States does recognize the pres ent administration in Mexico City. Huerta will be enabled to finance a loan through American bankers.
 President Wilson established the precedent early in his administration of refusing to permit the government to act as a guarantor to bankers. This was in the Chinese loan. It was known that American bankers after this setback have made no specific advances to this end in the Mexican situation. Nevertheless, they have in- dicated their willingness to set Amer. ican capital at work in Mexico if the Wilson administration recognizes Huerta.
 Foreign nations are hesitating to
 
 so desperately. The Mexiacn presi- dent knows if he were recognized by the United States this money would be forthcoming. Therefore, the with holding of this act set the administra- tion party in Mexico against the United States.
 It was reported that Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson would not return to his post after his conference with the president, and that Secretary O'Shaughnessy would remain Ion the lid" at Mexico City. There have been repeated charges that Ambassador Wilson was playing politics" with factions in Mexico. If it were not for the fact that new ambassador could not be named without recognizing the Huerta administration, Ambassador Wilson, 1t is generally believed here, would have been replaced several months ago.

Washington, July 1S.-President Wilson sees no reason as yet for changing his attitude with regard to Mexico He does not regard the pres ent crisis" as any more acute than it has been many times since he as sumed office.
 This was the authoritative an nouncement from the White House following a conference the president held with Senator Bacon, chairman O; the senate foreign relations committee. The senator himself denied that the than general summing up of condi- tions in the republic as they exist at present.
 The White House refused to com ment on the attack on President Will. son, made by Emeterio de la Garza Jr, Huerta's representative in this country, before he sailed for Mexico The attack was treated lightly, par. tieularly that portion which declared that John Bassett Moore, state de rGttment counselor, and Secretary of State Bryan favored the recognition of Huerta by this government.

Steal Meerschaums.-A clever rob-
berry was perpetrated at the Otto Al
brecht Cigar company's store in the
300" block on West Second street
Saturday night. Theodore Hartz, the
proprietor, had stepped out of the
store for a few minutes on business.
He left his salesman, Ernst Wenzel,
sitting by the doorway on the outside
OF the store. A stranger happened
along and engaged Mr.. Wenzel in con-
versation. Shortly afterwards Mr..
Wenzel observed a man pass out of
the doorway. He asked him il he
wanted anything and he replied that
he did not. Presently Mr. Hartz re-
turned to the store and no sooner had
he entered than he noticed that a
number Of meerschaum pipes, valued
at SIS, were missing. II is quite evi.
dent that the man who engaged Mr..
Wenzel in conversation was an &C
complice Of the sneak thief, who en-
tered the store and purloined the
pipes. The robbery has been report
ed to the police. AS yet there have
been no arrests.
