tor Announces.

That as long as mothers permit
their daughters to ape the styles OF
the underworld little can be done to-
wards correcting the morals of young
men, is the statement OF the Rev.

Presbyterian church. made this morn

Such styles sEc.la Tot be tolerated"

The Rev. Graham declared that
while strong language was employed
by the minister-editor yet there is a
lot of truth in his editorial, part OF
which reads as follows:
Somehow il seems that many
women love to display their forms: 1t
has gone so far that in some cities
laws have been passed forbidding the
appearance Of women upon the streets
in certain styles of dress.
Really, We believe il would be NOR
ally far better for the women to fol-
low the custom of many African tribes
who are robed in nothing more than
beads of perspiration, than TO wear
these suggestive dresses that many
are now adorning their bodies with.
Let the press and the pulpit ana
the city councils and the state legis-
lature and the truly modest women of
our land do all in their power to avert
the destruction being called down up
on our country by these devilish cos
tunes"

the Statements Which
Are Credited to Him.

TALKED WITH BRYAN
(National News Association)

(NAtional News ASSOciatiOn)
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Ambassa-
dor Henry Lane Wilson reached the
office of Secretary of State Bryan to-
day and expressed his views on the
Mexican situation. The interview with
which the envoy will hold with Presi-
dent Wilson.
The ambassadors first act on his
arrival here today was to repudiate
almost entirely the interviews sent
out from New York last night.
Most of the statements attributed
to me in the papers this morning are
absolutely false" he said. II did not
call General Carranza a bandit or re-
fer to the revolutionary movement as
a campaign of bandits; nor did l say
that all talk Of mediation was rot
What | did say was that board of
mediators going into Mexico at the
present time would have as much
chancechance as a board OF arbitrators
in the midst of the strike conditions
that prevailed in West Virginia some
in the attitude Of being a mere press
agent for the Huerta administration in
Mexico"
All Were Distorted.
Mr. Wilson added that he believed
every statement he made in New York
was distorted and exaggerated. He
said he never exceeded diplomatic pro-
priety In any of his expressions.
The conference between Secretary
of State Bryan and Ambassador Will
son continued for forty-five minutes.
1t will be resumed at ) O'Clock this
afternoon. Mr.. Bryan was forced to
suspend the interview at IL o'clock to
keep an engagement with the foreign
relations committee of the senate to
discuss the proposed Nicaragua treaty
and the Mexican situation.
Secretary Bryan stated that Ambas-
sador Wilson would not see President
Wilson before Monday. He declined
to discuss the interview with the am
bassador.
Praise for Huerta.
The ambassador said the Huerta
government was strong and verile,"
and that If recognized by the United
States, it could establish peace. He
denied, however, that he ever said he
favored recognition by this country.
81 am not here to advise the presi-
dent on any course" he added II
am here merely to make a first hand
report on conditions in Mexica and to
tell what 1 have done in these turbu-
lent times. Personally, never recog-
niZed the Huerta government. l at
tended his reception, but that was not
recognizing him. / was merely recog-
nizing the de facto government that
existed. When I sent kilograms to
our counsels urging them to support
President Huerta, l was not recogniz-
ing him. l was saving human lives"
Ambassador Wilson says he has pre-
pared a perfectly definite, complete
policy, outlined in memorandum form
from which the United States should
pursue in Mexican affairs" He was
silent, however, concerning this pol
fey.
The ambassador Indicted his dis
pleasure at the sending to Mexico a
special representative by the president
and secretary of state.

TRACTION SERVICE
TO CONNERSV|LLE
Line From This City Is ir
Prospect For the Near
Future.

That Richmond may expect that in
the not distant future interurban op-
erations will be extended to link this
terminus with Connersville was the
statement today of a prominent inter.
urban official, who requested that his
name be withheld.
He stated that he believed the con.
Meeting link between Milton and Con.
nersville would have been constructed
this year had it not been for the un-
fortunate differences that arose be.
tween the city administration and the
officials of the interurban company rel
tracks from the Glen. This contro-
versy, he claimed, left an unpleasant
impression in the minds of some OF
the higher officials of the company
that worked against any consideration
of the new interurban connecting line
this year.
He feels, however, that inasmuch as
a line to Connersville will undoubtedly
prove very profitable. it will only be
a question of short time until the
company officials authorize its con
struction.
South Eighth Street Line.
From another source today il was
learned that citizens living in the
south end of Richmond will soon see
construction gangs at work laying the
tracks for the new extension in Belle
view. The main line will be a con-
tinuation of the present South Eighth
street line to the end of Beallview
AS soon as the work now being under
taken along the interurban line west
of the city is completed. ii is expected
the work of constructing the new
south end car line will be begin.
Before the end of next May, accord
ing to the understanding now held by
the officials of the park project north
of the city, the street lines will have
been extended to give service to and
from the lake section. This is regard
ed as highly important improvement
as it will make the park district so
readily accessible to the rest of the
city as to have a great influence on
the values of the lots in that addition
to prospective home or summer cot
tage builders.
