WILL WAIT and SEE.
Uncle Sam Not to Be Influenced by
Return of DiaZ.

Washington, Sept. 19.-News that
General Felix Diaz, nephew of Por-
forio Diaz, had been recalled to Mex
leo to become the candidate of the
Huertia faction in the coming presi-
Dental election, aroused much inter-
est here in official circles. The gem
eral feeling was that the return OF
Diaz meant a compliance with Presi-
dent Wilson'S principal demand, that
General Huerta should not be can
didate. So far as auguring an era of
peace, however, the outlook was de-
Scribed as diScouraging.
While the American government IS
on record with a promise to extend
recognition to the government set up
by legal and free election, it is said
to be practically certain that the
United States would not hasten to
recognize Diaz if he were elected, but
would wait in accord with the prece-
dents of President Hayes's admins
tration to determine whether the re-
sulting government was strong enough
to maintain peace and guarantee in
ternational obligations.
The policy of strict neutrality with
respect to the expectations of arms
and munitions of war from this coun-
try however, will be continued until
recognition is actually extended. The
fact that the cOnstitutionallsts regard
Diaz as being Jointly responsible with
Huerta for Madero'S downfall, it IS
thought here will mean a sharpening
of the contest between the Warning
factions
The attitude of the United States for
the next few weeks is likely to be
that of an interested spectator with
John Lind being retained at Vera
Cruz, however, to show the world
generally that the United States
stands ready to assist in the situation
by pacific means if its friendly offices
are desired

INSIST ON A FIGHT.
Both Sides to Miners Strike Refuse

Denver, Sept. 19.-The first efforts
of the state administration to avert
the strike in the coal camps of dis
trict Is, called for next Tuesday, fail
ed last night when both operators and
officials of the United Mine Workers
of America positively rejected the

received information that 1000 miners
in the northern New Mexico fields and
an equal number in the southern Utah
fields would walk out Tuesday.

merce has a convention committee which
keeps constantly at work in an effort
to bring as many annual gatherings to
the National Capital as possible. Con-
ventions are slated many months, and
even Years in advance.
1t generally is conceded that there is
more of interest to see in Washington
than in any other city in the United
States. Among the interesting buildings
are the Capitol. the Congressional Library
the National Museum, the Medical Mu-
scum, the Smithsonian Institution, the Bu-
reau OF Fisheries, the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing the Government Print
ing ONCE, the Treasury Department. the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, and countless
other structures, beautiful in architec-
tural design, and stored with priceless
exhibits. The Pan-American Union Build
ing at the western end of the Mall, which
is open to visitors, is regarded as one OF
the most beautiful structures of its kind
not only in the United States, but in
the world. according to the recent verdict
of a celebrated French architect.
The Washington Navy Yard is full of
interest, the National Geological Park
contains ore OF the most elaborate col
lections OF animals in the country, and
Arlington, Fort Myer, Soldiers Home.
Mount vernon, ana historic Alexandra
all attract the alert sight-seer.
The cleanliness of the city. its straight
and regular highways. its broad avenues,
its innumerable shade trees. its count
less parks, its free band concerts, and
its other many features make Washing
ton one OF the most popular centers for
visitors.
As a summer resort Washington fills
practically every requirement satsfac-
torily, 1t seems to be a standing Joke

More Than 375, 900 Visitors
Journey Every Year from
ALI Corners of the United
States to See Wonders Of
the National Capital.

The National Capital, with its un-
buildings, and its permanent exposition
of rare exhibits, is visited each day by
more than 1000 slghtseers. These persons
come TO Washington from every section
OF the United States and from every cor
ner OF the globe-more than $4,000 a year
eager TO look upon the countless points
of interest that the Capital City possesses.
This number refers solely 10 those who
come here expressly as sightseers, eN-
cluding the much vaster numbers of those
who, while visiting the National Capital
on business, avail themselves of the op-
portunity of viewing the buildings and
parks of which the city boasts. Each day
1876 trains pull into the Union Station
from East. West, North. and South,
bringing daily between 15,GO and 10000
persons. Some of the trains bear as
many as 2OO and 800 passengers, whereas
others have aboard no more than twenty
five. The majority OF these persons
come TO Washington on business.
1t is estimated by the merchants Of
Washington that the sightseers spend an
average of s. a day each during their
sojourn. This amounts to considerably
more than Sl,000,0OO a year. Some spend
hundreds of dollars daily during their
visits, but the others who are not so
lavish in their expenditures bring the
average down to s. 1t is estimated that
the average sightseer remains in the city
for four days.
Washington, being the center Of the
Federal government, is peculiarly we'll
situated as a convention city Each year
there are on the average 365 conventions
held here-approxlmateIy one day. The
average length of the conventions is
three days, many, however, remaining in
session for much longer periods. The re-
cent convention OF Firemen and Engine
men was in session for thirty-three days,
and the Carpenters convention last Sep
tember lasted eighteen days. 1t is esti-
mated that these conventions bring to
Washington between 5000 and 5000 per-
sons each year.

OF visitors, the local Chamber OF Com

James c. McNalley, United States
Representative in China, Is
Attacked in Court.
S15,l65.12 IS INVOLVED

The State Department possibly will
take some action as a result of the suit
filed in the District Supreme Court yes
terday by J. F. Newman, of Shanghai,
China, against James C. McNally, United
| States consul at Tsingtau, China, for
the recovery of s15,1S5.12 alleged to have
been withheld from the plaintiff by the
defendant in a real estate deal
The case was brought TO the attention
of the State Department by Mr.. Newman
during the last administration and short
ly after the transaction occurred, and an
immediate investigation Of the charges
was ordered. special agent went into
the details of the case, and submitted a
report TO the Secretary OF State.
Although this report at the time was not
made public, it is understood that the
agent found the complaint of Mr.. New
man to be substantially true. The case
| was allowed to stand without any def
mite and final action being taken by the
department.
Recently. however. Mr.. Newman be-
gan to push his claim and to appeal to
the State Department again. AT the
| time Mr.. McNally is said to have been in
iHeTndny on leave OF dDStNCE luc

moned to come TO Washington TO await

arrived here a short time ago, and still

port Newman's contentious it Is likely
that Mr.. McNally will be either repri-
manded by the State Department or re-
| moved from office.
Real ESTATE Deal Cause.
The suit was field by Mr.. Newman
through Attorney Claude y. Bennett
The petition states that in 1907, while
McNally was consul at Nankin, China.
Newman was the owner of a piece of
real estate which he proposed to sell
| to the Chinese government. Under the
commercial treaty between the United
ltes and China. transactions between
an American citizen and the Chinese
government must be negotiated
| through an American consul, so Nc
Nally was asked to assume charge OF
the deal.
Newman declares in his petition that
on December 80. 1908, McNally advised
him to accept $4,000 for the property,
| to which he consented, and that three
days later the consul informed him
that the price asked had been con-
sidered eXorbitant and advised him
to content himself with $4,000, to
which Newman also agreed. The Pc
| titioner states that McNally sold the
property and made to him three pay
lments-s13.495.2s. $4,000, and $500.
Newman contends that the consul
sold the property for S26,99O.56, this
being $1O.695.2s moro than McNally
paid him, the consul making II appear
that the selling price was $4,000. The
plaintiff declares he gave McNally $500.

rent, and checks alleged to be laid for

Baltimore. and the Fidelity and De-
posit Company Of Maryland are also
named as defendants, being sureties on
McNally's official bond.

CLARK INTRODUCES
INQUIRY RESOLUTION
Florida Member Asks for Information
Relative to Colonization in
Western Hemisphere,

Representative Frank Clark of Florida
offered a resolution in the House yes
terday directing the Secretary of State
to inform the House whether any Eu-
ropean or Asiatic government has sought
to colonize in this hemisphere since
1923; whether any such government ever
has attempted to interfere with the af-
fairs of any American republic, and
whether any such government is now
seeking to colonize any portion of the
western hemisphere, and, IL so. what
steps are being taken, under the Mon
roe doctrine, to prevent such COLOMBIA
ton.
1t is believed that the Clark resolution
is privileged and the chances are that
within a week Clark, by demanding con-
sideration of the resolution, can stir up
a warm Mexican debate in the House.
Clark offered a resolution several
weeks ago reaffirming the Monroe doc
trine. Under an agreement reached yes
terday the House will not be in session
again until Tuesday and II President
Wilson desires to read a message on
Mexico he will have to wait until that
day.

HENDERSON AND LAWYER
DENY WOMAN'S CHARGE
Attorney Says Miss Garmong Tried to
Get Money Before She
Filed Suit.

Not only do the Washington attorneys
for John Brooks Henderson, jr., promi-
nent in social and legal circles Of the
Capital, deny the charges made against
Mr.. Henderson by Iona Garmong, a
nurse girl, in a suit that involves the
paternity of her child. but those inter
ested in the case make the assertion that
the Garmong woman appeared as the
plaintiff in a similar suit against an Ohio
man some little time ago. Mr.. Hender-
son wired his denial OF the charges from
Massachusetts yesterday.
Arthur Peter, one of Mr.. Henderson S
lawyers, yesterday made denial OF the
charges, and said that before the suit
had been filed Miss Garmong tried to OBJ
tain money from Mr.. Henderson. He,
however, preferred to have the matter
come before the courts than make a
settlement. Mr.. Peter said:
The charge has not the slightest foun-
dation in fact. There is no occasion to
discuss this case before the trial, which
probably will take place about October
/. At this time it will appear to the
satisfaction OF every one that Mr.. Hen
derson is not and could not have been
guilty of what the Garmong woman
claims.
AN effort was made to obtain money
from Mr.. Henderson before the suit was
filed, but as he had nothing to fear from
a full disclosure of the facts, he refused
to compromise the matter"
The original suit was placed on the
records about two years ago, but be-
cause Of a series OF continuances most
of the evidence has never been made
public.
The defendant is the son Of the late
Senator John B. Henderson Of Missouri,
the author OF the thirteenth amendment
to the Constitution. Mr. Henderson is
one of the well-known lawyers OF WASH
ington and a member Of the Metropoli-
tan, Chevy Chase, and other clubs OF
the Capital.

Mothers Friend must, therefore, be con-
sidered as a direct influence upon the char
acter and disposition of the future genera

healthy energy as to bring into being the

given out at the Weather Bureau, as
the result OF more Inan InIrty years OF

for August is 7i.5.

Of intensely hot weather. From time 10

Washington is unparalleled. In accord
ance with this belief, have spent my
last seventeen summers in the city. and
I have no cause TO regret II. have no
difficulty in keeping comfortable, and the
city affords every conceivable form OF

tons Of the stage; the band concerts

fun abounds and where pleasure is lin
