HUERTA LIKELY To
RECONSIDER PLANS
RUMORED IN WASHINGTON THAT
REJECTION OF U. S. PEACE
PROPOSALS NOT FINAL.
UNTIL TUESDAY TO DECIDE
Wilson viii Not Deliver Speech Be
fore Then-This Believed to Al
low Time for Action of
Mexicans.

Washington, Aug. 25.-On the heels
of the report that the Huerta admins
tration in Mexico was nearing a crisis,
financially, came the rumor to official
Washington that the Mexican presi-
dent may reconsider his rejection of
the American proposals to restore
peace in Mexico and arrange a new
basis for negotiation with the United
States before Tuesday.
Should the Huerta government de-
eide to enter into new basis of dis
cussion, President Wilson, in all prob
ability, will not read his message to
both houses of congress Tuesday, as
he intended.
Adjournment Till Tuesday.
The president made no effort to pre-
vent the house from adjourning until
Tuesday. This was interpreted in Of
fetal circles as meaning that the
United States practically had given
the Huerta government until Tuesday
to make up it's mind as to what it
would do.
1t is reiterated that the United
States will continue to insist upon the
resignation of Provisional President
Huerta, or an announcement of his in
tention to do SO, as we'll as his elm
ination from the presidential race in
the subsequent election.
European Pressure at Work.
European diplomatic pressure, it is
known here, is quietly at work in
Mexico City in an effort to convince
Huerta officials that the policy of the
United States is being approved
abroad. The failure of the Huerta
government to obtain funds abroad,
through the failure of the recognition
of the United States, is pointed to by
the diplomats as likely to continue,
pending a more respectful considera-
ton of the American proposals. 1t
is learned also from authoritative
sources that the Huerta government
is facing mutinous army, dissat1s-
fed because no pay has been forth
coming for weeks.
Fifty Mexican bandits were execut-
ed for the murder of one German sub
ject, according to advices to the state
department. The Germans name was
not given. The murder occurred near
Mexico City A force of federal sol
diers were sent out and rounded up
the robbers.

"The Master Mind"

Wcrba and Lucschcr'S production
of "Thc Master Mind" neT four
act play. will be presented at tho
Grand tonight by Willard Granger
and his associate players. The pla:
comes to Fairmont following a sta!
of five months at the Harris ThcateI
New York, where it created a senSa'
ton and proved to be a genuine
thriller"
THE Master Mind" is declared to
be built upon an entirely original
theme with four acts of powerful, in
tense drama. telling story that
grips the heart and holds the audi
cnce as few stories in modern fic-
ture are able to do. The play has
an appeal to men and women Of cv-
cry class, and also furnishes a nov
el study for scientists as well as
laymcn. Every incident from the
rise of the curtain to the final dc"
nOucmCnt rerolvc around a myster-
iOuS criminal known IN the under
world as the Mister Mind" II,
rules the people about him as surely
as a king. planning and executing
his diabolical schemes with the cock
surcnesS of magician. The district
attorney with all his resources is
pOwGrlCss to checkmatc the master
criminal until a simple, trusting girl
takes the battle into her own hands
and proves that love is greater than
hatred and revenge. From all ac.
counts. the play casts fascinating
spell over the audience and leaves
them gasping when the curtain falls
on the final scene.

Conservation of Vision.

The women of Pennsylvania are
called upon to take up the crusade
for the conservation of vision. As
mothers they can prevent blindness

among foreigners and the general
neglect 10 properly light public

to the formation of the Pcnnsylvan-
ia Society for the Conservation OF
Vision.
Last week at the meeting Of the
Pennsylvania State Medical Society
much attention was given to the
subject of eycsight Of adults and
children, and efforts were made by
various speakers to engage public in
tcrcSt in this vital matter and to or
ganizc a definite campaign for the
preservation Of thee ycsight.
The Society for the Conservation
of Vision will spread broadcast
knowledge of how Ophthalmia neon

advocate the guarding of machinery
in mills and fOundriGs and the use
of safety devices in mines. It will
cndeavOr to educate employers and
employees In the use Of all means to
avoid ocular accidents. An active
campaign against trachOma will be
carried on, and stress will be laid in
the program on the proper lighting
of public schools aud buildings.
One of the little known causes Of
blindness Is the Use Of wood alcohol,

Little Women" Pleased,

Meg, 10. Beth and Amy March. a
quartet OF bright, happy, wholesome
girls, who have been the companions

years, came to life in FairmOnt last
night when William A. Brady pre-

There had been some fear In the
hearts of the March girls most init
mate friends that the characters SC

the curtain rose on that familiar
home scene and one bGhGld pretty
Mig with her sewing basket, bois-

gentle Beth in the chimney corn Ter,
all fears vanished and the spectator

scenes OF joy and sorrow with the

Margaret Dills in an entirely salts
