G0Y. LIND STR0LLS UNN0T|CED
 IN THE MEXICAN CAPITOL

vessels of such light draught as gun> boats, can get into harbors and rivers inaccessible to such great vessels as the battleships on station and would be of great service should the occas- lon demand
 Secretary Bryan was at the State Department all day, but said there were no developments. The White House and the State Department are, according to reliable information from both places, awaiting Envoy Lind's resume of the situation as it appears to him, and which resume he is to send to the President.
 There is not the slightest doubt in the mind of anyone here that no matter what was the extent or pecul- iarity of the Presidents instruction to MT. Lind, his personal representative will do nothing for some time at least other than to present through Charge d'Affairs O'Shaughnessy, the view of the administration that an armistice or a truce is the one desirable thing for the beginning of the solution of affairs in Mexico.
 Officials resent any question by those outside the diplomatic circle as to what the administration can or will do if the proposition for an armis- tice or truce fails.
 There is certainly the highest kind of warrant for the statement that MT. Lind now has no proposals" to President Huerta or anyone else ex- .cept Charge Affairs 'Shaughnessy There is also equally the best author ity of the statement that the public must wait for any future developments in Mexico until after Envoy Lind has reported to the President.
 The Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee and the leaders of the House Foreign Affairs Committee have been indoctrinated with the view and the belief that agitation will not help En- voy Lind's mission of peace, as it is called at the White House and at the State Department.
 The Senate House Committees are of course, paying attention to the events and will be ready to put into execution whatever suggestions are made to Congress, either in a message or in request of these committees.

CREOSOTED BLOCKS
 BUCKLE AND BURST
W WALNIT AND OLIVE STREET IS iMPASSIBLE FOR SIX BLOCKS
 AS \ RESULT.
Excavations Made In Street Given As the Cause Traffic Is Being
 Delayed.

The crcosoted block pavement on Walnut and Olive streets, from Ninth avenue to Fifteenth avenue, has 'buckled up" like a broncho and has thrown traffic to other streets for several days at least. City Engineer Frank Allen has excluded traffic from that popular boulevard for the present until he can get hold of rep resentatives of the contracting firm that put down the street two ears ago and have the street repaired. IL will probably be necessary to .repave the street for the entire six blocks, as the blocks have 'bursted out it's entire width from the curve at Ninth avenue and Walnut street to where Olive street intersects Fifteenth avenue.
 The recent rains and the rays of the hot sun, which have caused the blocks to expand and buckle are primarialy the cause of the upheaval in the paving The street threw itself out of gear sometime. during Sunday night and when pedestrians and teamsters tried to get by Mon day morning they found that they had to face about and change to another street.
 The commissioners of the District are Charles Fl. Triplett, Charles Pud- dephatt and E. A. Sheppard. The contractor, K. J. Wetterstrom, has q five year bond to keep the street in good repair during that period. It is claimed by the contractors that ex- cavatiOn made by the Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company, which were left open for weeks, caused the street to buckle.

President Wilson's Personal Representative Is Investi-
 gating Conditions
HAS NOT SEEN HUERTA
GunbOat Nashville Is Ordered From
 Portsmouth Navy Yards To Vera Cruz.

Mexico City, Aug. 11-After a day spent ill Conference with Nelson o. Shaughnessy, charge d'Affairs of the American embassy, and William Bay nard Hale, President Wilson's con- fidential envoy, John Lind, personal representative of the President of the United States. has begun apparently under suspicious circumstances, his mission of bringing about the pacifi- cation of the opposing elements in the Mexican republic. Mir. Lind was early at his task. Long before the people of the capital were astir the Minnesotan was out for long walk and an hour later was taken to the embassy in an automobile. Tonight no information was forthcoming from any source as to the result of today's work, but there is no doubt that MT. Lind was given much information at first hand bearing upon conditions in Mexico.
 Mir. Lind made only two or three appearances on the streets during the day. At no time was there evidence of ill feeling against him; in fact, he passed along almost unnoticed in his journey from the embassy to his hotel. In speaking today of Mir. Lind's visit to the capital, Frederick Gamboa, the Mexican secretary of foreign affairs, said Mir. Linds mission could hardly be described as one of peace as no war existed between Mexico and the United States.
 It is said here that MT. Lind's mission will not be prolonged more than three weeks. It is known he is confident of getting his suggestions before Provisional President Huerta, but whether that official will receive him or not is apparently not worrying MT. Lind. It is' understood that if Huerta maintains his unwillingness to see him, Mr. Lind will transmit his communication through Mir. O'Shaugh- messy, thus making his position clear.
 No statement was made by Huerta or any of his cabinet officers today regarding Mr. Lind's mission. Over looking the fact that the Mexican capital is situated at an altitude of 5000 feet and the nights are always cool, both MT. and Mrs. Lind have suffered some discomfort from the cool temperature. They came pre- pared to spend two or three weeks in a warm climate, but last night felt the necessity for warmer clothing.
 Await Lind's Report.
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The gunboat Nashville was ordered to Vera Cruz today. She is now at the Portsmouth navy yards undergoing repairs and will sail Friday. There are four bat tleships on the east coast of Mexico now. The gunboats reinforcing this squadron are sent for the ostensible purpose of affording refuge for Ameri- cans who desire to leave Mexico.

Albany, N. Y. Aug. 11.-With a resolution which charges William Sulzer, governor of New York. gen. erally with high crimes and midsde> meanors and specifically with all the offenses charged by the FraWley Committee, solmn proceedings to re- move him from office, were begun in the Assembly tonight and will be continuous tomorrow, when an effort to pass the resolution will be made.
 The introduction of the resolution tonight came like bolt from the blue sky to the Governors friends. It followed an all day conference by the leaders of the majority at Saratoga. The result of this conference was a count of 75 votes, all of which are needed for it's passage. If the votes are forthcoming tomorrow William lSulzer will cease to be governor of New York and Martin Glynn will take over the office. In thirty days the senate and court of appeals will sit in judgement on the impeacmeat and upon their verdict of guilty or not guilty will depend Governor Sulzer's summary removal or re- storation to the office to which he was elected by the people,
 The resolution, which was read after turbulent evening in the As sembly chamber, departed in langua- ge from the report of the Frawley Committee in order to answer the Governors contention that the acts charged by that body were not com mitted during his term of office The accusation that he used his office for the purpose of suppressing evil dence and that he gambled in Wall street at the very time he was hold ing hearings on the Wall Street anti gambling bill are construed to meet his objections and on these the pro- secution made it's case.
 A close count of members is beiae made late tonight to find the neces- sary seventy-six.

AN AIR MAP OF THE WORLD

The announcement by Rear Admiral Robert F .Peary, that famous geog- raphers from many countries, will soon meet to prepare an aerOnautical map of the entire world is unusually interesting. IL indicates, for one thing, distinct progress in the science of avia- ton, and when such map is complete tn field for aerial exploits will be far wider than now and far clearer.
 This great task was projected at the international geographic conference re- gently held at Rome. It will have the support of such institutions as the Ma tional Geographical Society of America, fact which assures it the utmost pos sibie success. An air map of the world indicating atmospheric currents and offering an abundance of other infOr- nation which is now but dimly or in- coherently known, will be of invaluable service. The bringing to light and compilation of meteorological data can not fail to advance the interests of aviation. The making of such a map Is a stupendous undertaking, but the character of support it has enlisted gives bright promise of it's full accom- lishment.-Albuquerq Herald.

DEATH IN
 TWENTY YEARS
William E. Nagle of Boston Killed Near Bcardsley Friday Evening by Stroke of Lightning Body Dis cOlOred from Shock

1 William F. Nagle, a member of a
 section gang employed on the Santa Fe railroad near Beardsley. while taking ! shelter from a thunderstorm was struck by lightning and instantly killed l on Friday evening. To such an extent l was the body discOlOred and burnt that at first is was reported that an un- l known Mexican was killed.
 According to the testimony given at 1 the inquest yesterday Nagle started to take shelter from q sandstOrm by standing behind telegraph pole The storm passed almost as quickly as it had arisen and it was followed by terrific rainstorm accompanied by lightning more vivid than any old
 timer haQ ever seen in that vicinity.
 The foreman of the gang aware of the
 dangerous position that the man had
 taken tried to holler to him to vacate
 the shelter of the pole and failing to
 do so picked up q clod of earth and
 threw it in the direction of the unfort-
 unate man.
 Just as the clod left the hand of the foreman the lightning flash struck the pole and Nagle was thrown a distance of over twenty feet. The foreman then ran towards the station at Beardsley in order to send word of the accident to the coroner but on his arrival he found that the storm had destroyed every means of communication with Phoenix. Before the foreman could re- turn to where the body lay it had been discovered by q man who was passing in an automobile. The stranger evil dently thought that the body was that of a Mexican and he so reported it to the authorities. Coroner C. w. John stone then telephOned to Glendale and the coroner from that town went out and viewed the body.
 The coroners jury yesterday brought in a verdict of accidental death
 When the dead mans effects were searched yesterday, in an effort to find l out the address of any relation or | friend, it was found that Nagle was i the son of well to do people in Boston | and that he had a brother living in that | city who is a contractor.
 The body will be held pending word | from the east. According to the opin- ions of many old timers, Nagle is the first man killed by lightning here in more than twenty-five years.
