Keir Hardie IntimateS Convict
ed Woman Had Ledger Ac-
counts with Prominent Men.
FACT MEETS NO DENIAL
Names Were Not Published
Because Prisoner Pleaded
Guilty, Rendering Further
Evidence Unnecessary.
by Cable 70 The Tribune. !

London, Aug. 7.-Keir Hardie, the
Welsh labor member. with brutal d.
rectness, said Yesterday in the House Of
Commons that the names Of Cabinet
ministers were being banded about N
connection with the unsavory Queenie
Gerald white slave" case some of the
facts in which are now alleged to have
been suppressed by the Home Office.
Mr.. McKenna, the Home Secretary,
was not resent, but the Under Secre-
tarv of State for the Home Depart
ment. Ellis ]. Griffith, faced a stiff
grilling from the Labor and Radical
members, while Lord Robert Cecil
wanted to find out why the woman was
not charged with being a procuress
when letters had been found in ner
fiat from certain prominent men.
Mr.. Keir Hardie asked: Don't YOU
think the publication of the names Of
men who tempt women by large sums
of money would act as a deterrent 70
this sort Of vice." And again: Are
YOU aware that certain very prominent
names, including those of certain mem
bers Of the Cabinet are mentioned in
the rumors outsider"
Mr.. Griffith said he was not aware
that any such names had been mem
toned in the case. but if these men
were guilty Of ANY offence" they
would be prosecuted, although as the
law now stands none could be pro-
ceeded against.
Mr.. Keir Hardie kept on with his
questions, asking why all the names
in the case had not been presented 10
the judge. Mr.. Griffith answered this
by saying that the woman pleaded
guilty, and that further evidence was
not necessary. The Labor member then
put a pertinent question, asking if the
ledger account kept by the woman
against certain men who frequented
her Piccadilly fat was not proof that
they acted with her and were therefore
liable to prosecution.
The Under Secretary then fell back
on the hackneyed formula that he was
advised" that the facts and evidence
in the case did not justify any prose-
cution Of the men. The heckling of the
ministry as represented by Mr.. Griffith
continued for some time. Mr.. Nc
Kenna's aid confining himself TO direct
answers. Mr.. Keir Hardie says he Will
keep on with the matter.
The newspapers are getting red hot
over the affair. All sorts of questions
are being asked, and the statement IS
boldly made that Queenie Gerald was
not indicted as a procuress because
her defence would have been that she
was not the principal but merely the
agent for some prominent men whose
names would have been disclosed at
the trial

HUERTA MAY EXPEL LIND
Mission Might Be Held Sedi-
tious, Says Mexican.

Mexico City, Aug. 6.-Increased an
tagonism has been aroused toward
President Wilson's plan for pacifica-
ton by news from Washington that
the object OF John Lind's visit here Is
to advise prominent Mexicans that the
only basis on which Mexico Will be
recognized is the elimination of Huerta.
This new angle makes II not improo-
able that Mr. Lind will be treated with
even less consideration than otherwise
would have been accorded him.
It was pointed out by a prominent
Mexican to-day that once the sugges-
ton was actually put forward the gov
eminent would be justified in char
acterizing Mr. Lind as one who was
melting Mexicans along lines OF sedi-
ton and In applying the pernicious
foreign expulsion clause Of the Con-
stitution.
This Mexican also indicated that
since Mr.. Lind was coming to Mexico
in an unofficial capacity and with no
credentials he could not expect more
consideration or immunity than an
ordinary foreigner would receive.
Secretary Bryan sent the following
telegram to the American Legation to-
night:
You may say to the Minister OF For
eign Affairs that Governor Lind comes
TO Mexico on a mission Of peace and
that the President feels sure his pres
ence there will contribute toward a
settlement OF the difficulties. The
Mexican government should await the
Presidents communication. and not
give weight TO misrepresentation pub
lished in sensational newspapers"
The message was delivered TO the
Foreign Minister.
Alleging that the state OF the coun-
try is such that II will be impossible to
hold a Presidential election on October
u. the date previously set. the Catholic
convention agreed late tonight not to
nominate a candidate for the Presi-
dency. The decision OF the Catholics
not to enter the political fight would
appear to remove the last hopes Of
elections being held.
