Conference Between Two Is Said To Have Become Very Heated Administration Pro- vides For His Personal Effects And IntimateS Its Desire That He Re-
 main Away From Mexico
 Ciy For The Present

Washington, Aug. 4.-Secretary Bryan, today, announced the accept ance of the resignation of Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mexico.
 Secretary Bryan made the following statement:
 .sA1nbassador Wilson's resignation has been accepted to take effect Octo- ber A. The part which he felt it is his duty to take in the earlier stages of the recent revolution in Mexico would make it difficult for him to represent the views of the present ad- miniStratiOn in view of the situation which now exists.''
 The ambassador. in the ordinary practice, is entitled to sixty days leave exclusive of Sundays, which ac- counts for the fixing of the date of October. IA in the announcement. In made a successor as a vacancy will not exist until that date. Consequent ly the American embassy in Mexico will remain in charge of Secretary O'Sha ughnessy, corresponding in status with the Mexican embassy in the city of Washington which is now conducted by Charge Algara.
 The announcement followed a con- ference with Secretary Bryan to which Mir Wilson had been summoned from New. r York by telegraph. Earlier, MT. Wilson broadly intimated that he ex- p6cted his T6SlSn2Llon lWOllo De fdc- cep4ed almost any time and pointed out that he had rendered it, three times since March 4
 The resignation will be followed by an announcesnent of policy toward Mexico by President Wilson. No inti7 anarfon Of what the announcement would 5sbe was permitted to leak out but there were assurances that armed intervention was out of the question and there were reasons for believing the announcement would deal with this governments attitude toward exports of arms to Mexico.
 Mir Wilson, after leaving the state department, dictated the following statement:
 .I believe that the. President and the Secretary of State in their consid- eration of the question are actuated by the highest patriotism and with the best intentions to both countries. I am not aware of what solution of the existing situation is proposed but trust it will be satisfactory. I have no pride of opinion with reference to my own recommendations claimine for them they were conscientious and represent the views of 9S per cent. of the Americans and foreigners in Mex

EXPRESS COMPANIES GET SWEEPING ORDER TO LOWER
 RATES FULLY IS PER CENTy Country Is Divided Into $50 Blocks Permitting Simple Rate Mak-
 ing Plan
Commissioner John H. Marble Affi1ms Find- Ings Of Former Commissioner Lane--FoOd Products Get Lower Rates--BIOCk
 System May Later Be Applied
 To Freight Schedules

Washington, Aug. @Reductions in express rates which will cost the com panies fully $26, 100000 a year-a4,- proximately Is per cent. of their gross revenue-were ordered by the inter- state commerce commission, today. to become effective on or before October 15, 1913. Notable reforms in prac- tices also were ordered.
 The most important change pre- scr1bed by the order is by way of modification Of the present graduated scale of parcel rates. One hundred pound rates for short distances either have been Ieft unchanged or slightly reduced; for the longer distances they have been lowered; for 50 pounds or less all rates have been practically re- duced. For packages more than four pounds going more than 200 miles and less than 2,000 the new express rates are generally lower than the parcel post rates; for more than 5000 miles the rates are practically the same
 The report and order of the com mission, prepared by Commissioner John H. Marble, are a virtual affirma- ton of the finds of former Connmis- stoner Franklin Lane, now secretary of the interior.
 By prescribing a soeaIIed bloci-sys- tenn dividing the United States into $50 blocks averaging 2,5O0 square miles as originally proposed by MT. Lane, 800, 100000 different rates nov published by the express Companies will be reduced to less than $50, 900 and the interstate commerce coTnrnis- sion believes that the system points ta4c~ way to a solution of the existing maze of freight rates.
 The general impression in official quarters is that the express com panies will attempt to test by legal means the constitutionality of the comrnis- sion's order.
 The requirement. of the order of June 8, 1912, that a. label shall be at tached to each parcel, is modified to the extent that, in case of shipments of perishab1e property consisting of two or more packages, the label need be attached to only one package.
 The express companies had filed statements indicating that the losses of revenue under the proposed rates would be intolerable and argued strenuously that the stablishment of the parcel post had deprived them of quite 30 per cent of the revenue they formerly received from parcels of. Il pounds or less. They con tended tn at the express business could not survive the losses from both sources.
 This is equivalent to saying com mented Commissioner Marble in his report, 'fthat inasmuch as shippers have been given the convenience and economy of the parcel post, the ex- press carriers must, on that account, be allowed to charge higher rates than otherwise would be reasonable.

1cO.
 It became known that the ambassa- dor's conference, with Secretary Bryan at times became heated and that a disagreement arose over the formal acceptance of the resignation The ambassador had expected that the President would commend him for his activity at his post on the occa- that some mention would be made ap- proving his record. Secretary Bryan carried the suggestion to the Presi- dent but on returning for further con ference with the Ambassador announc- ed the resignation in practically the same form as agreed upon earlier in the day although special provision was made for the protection of the AIn- bassador's personal efforts in Mexico City during his absence.
 It is the wish of the administration that MT. Wilson should not return to Mexico City at this time he is regarded as a factor in the political situation.
 Before announcement of the accept ance of his resignation Ambassador Wilson, leaving the White House on his way to the state department, gave out copy of a letter he received from former President Taft on June 2e, 1918, approving of his action in Mexico.

CONSULT LOCAL NAV
ON CURRENCY LAW
F. E. McGurrin Gives Con-
gressnen Views on Pro-
posed Legislation.

Frank E. McGurrin, president of the
Salt Lake Security & Trust company, IS
expected home within few days from
an important mission to the national
capital. Mr. McGurrin was recently
highly honored by being invited by a
member of the committee on currency
legislation of the national house Of rep"
resentatives to come to Washington and
give his views upon certain features OF
the proposed currency bill. Mr.. McGur'
rim accepted the invitation and left the
city at once,
One of the reasons for extending the
invitation TO Mr., McGurrin is that the
committee is uesirous OF obtaining the
views of mon who are familiar with
trust COMPANIES and the securities in
which they deal most largely Also, as
TO whether trust companies may par
ticipate in the plan of the national
treasury to distribute S50,000,000 of
government funds to banks, as is
shortly to he done in the south and
west. and as is also contemplated in
the currency Legislation now under
consideration.
The present plan contemplates the
hypothecation by the banks with the
government of government bonds and
gilt-edge commercial paper. An addi-
fional matter TO be disc used, and that
is why the representatives of trust COM
panies were invited TO attend the meet
ings of the committee, concerns the ad-
visibility of including first mortgages
on real estate in the list of securities.
It is generally conceded that there is
no better security, government bonds
excepted, than first mortgages on i'm
proved real estate, but the fact that
mortgages OF this character usually run
for specified term Of years and are
not as quickly negotiable as CONNER
cial napcr and bonds, has proved
stumbling block.

CUTLER DOUBTFUL OF
SUCCESS OF MILLS
Bank President Declares He
Hopes Venture Will Go
Through, Nevertheless.

Although doubtful OF the success o..
the venture to establish string Of west
ern wooden mills. proposed by the Ma
tional woolgrowers association, John c.
Cutler. president Of the Deseret National
bank, and one OF the stockholders of
the Provo Woolen mills, declares that
he hopes the western woolgrowers Will
start the venture and push IL through.
He thinks that such a proposition, II
successful. would mean much for Utah
and the entire intermountain region. In
discussing the matter yesterday he said;
The chief trouble with the plan Is
that we are too far away from the pro.
ducing centers of anything except WOOL
TO prevent a large shipping expense.
Most of the clothing factories are In the
east Then, too. much OF the wool that
goes into the modern all WOOL suits Is
composed Of part pure secured wool. some
extract or comoed-oyer wool. and some
times percentage Of cotton, In order
turers. we would have to ship In this
extract and other materials which would
bring up the cost Of production
"The only mill in Utah at present is
working night and day there. under
stand that the Pendleton, Or. mills arc
also successful. AS to the proposition
to establish clothing manufacturing es-
it could be done on account of the com
petition in labor. Most of the tailors
In this country are either Germans or
scandinavians. They come first to Ntw
sweatsbops for half Of what they later
are paid I'm Chicago after they learn the
language. The Chicago companies get
higher prices for their suits. However
pay here because we would have to pay
more wages and demand higher prices.
