MEXICO MAKES PUBLIC
PROPOSALS OF Lind
Associated Press.

Mexico City, Aug. 2S.--All of the
documents connected with Lind's
mission to Mexico City were published
today in the Diario, the official Mex
lean government organ. They con-
sist of the following:
The original instructions to Lind
by President Wilson. which were
quoted yesterday in President Will
sons message.
Foreign Minister Gamboas reply
TO Lind August l6 which was pub
iished yesterday in. Washington.
a second note by Lind 90 Gambos
on August 25. 49,
Gamboa's reply. dated August 20.
The two latter documents had not
been made public hitherto in the
United States.
The documents were accompanied
by an article under the caption Our
Relations With the United States of
America"
Lind in his second note points out
that 'the president of the United
States has not directed me to answer
the observations of your note of Aug
ust 10th, and | refrain from discuss
ing them" Then, reiterating the
friendly intentions of the United
States, he, 'on instructions of the
president of the United States,' sub
mits for the consideration of the
de facto government of Mexico" the
following: THAT an election be
called for October 90, to be held in
accordance with the constitutional
laws of Mexico; that President Huer-
ta, in the manner originally indi-
Gated, give assurances" that he will
not be a candidate for reelection; (;
that the remaining propositions in
my original instructions be taken up
later but speedily and resolved as
circumstances Will permit in the spir-
it OF their proposal. The president
of the United States further author
ICES me to say that, if the de facto
government of Mexico at once acts
favorably on the foregoing sugges-
tions, then he viii express to the
American bankers assurances that
the government. will look with favor
on the extension of an immediate
loan sufficient to get the temporary
requirements of the de facto govern
ment of Mexico"
In his reply of August 26, relative
to the loan proposition, Gamboa begs
to be excused from Il direct reply for
lilt Time btliS OlHti IMAM W SdN lHdt
the suggestion appears to be an at
tractive antecedent of a proposal to
the end that, moved by petty inter
ests, Mexico should renounce the
right which upholds the country at
this time when the dignity of the
nation is at stake" He adds: II
believe there are not loans enough to
induce those who are charged to
maintain that dignity to permit it to
be lessened. Referring to the in
sistence of Wilson that Huerta bind
himself not to be candidate at the
October elections, Gamboa quotes
from the Mexican constitution to
prove that, under the regulation that

ty. While he was serving time his
wife secured a divorce. Gurr re-
turned to Vernal short time ago
to find that Wade was courting his
divorced wife. He objected. but
without avail.
Last night the convict secured a
gun. and when he discovered that
his former wife was in attendance at
the Orpheum theater with his rival,
he lay in wait outside. When the
show closed and the audience began
irfing out. Gurr tooS up position
just opposite the exit AS Wade
started out with the former Mrs
Gurr on his arm. Gurr opened fire.
The first bullet took effect in Wade's
arm. Gurr continued firing and a
second bullet struck 6-year-old Patsy
Mease in the foot and passed through
the dress of her mother who was
holding her.
Wade at once returned the fire,
and pumped five bullets into Gurr's
body. Two struck him in the shoul-
der, two passed through the stomach
and one through his neck. Doctors
were summoned and extracted the
bullets. They say Gurr will live.
Wade was put under arrest, and is
held in jail until the outcome of
Gurr's injuries are definitely known.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-John Lind

President Wilson had received mes

cussion of the disputed points, such
as the elimination of Huerta.
After an early conference with Sec
retary Bryan and Chairman Bacon of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, the president let it be known
that he believed the situation in
Mexico to be encouraging. The pres
ident thinks that things are chang
ing in Mexico City and that some
thing tangible soon will be made
known.
There were evidences early today
that the Huerta government had
agreed to the American plan, but pre-
viously the disposition of the Mexi-
can administration to withdraw some
of its proposals had encouraged the
belief that the presidents message
was having a good effect in Mexico.
return to Mexico City, he has author
ity from Washington to do so. 1t is
considered probable that he will go
to the capital.
The Mexican situation in brief to-
day is as follows:
Huerta has withdrawn his request
for an exchange of ambassadors.
Huerta asks that the present dip
lomatic status be continued until af-
ter the Mexican elections in October.
By some this is interpreted as a con-
cession.
Foreign Minister Gamboa pointed
out that the demand for the elimina-
tion of Huerta would be met by the
provision of the Mexican constitution
which makes provisional president
ineligible for reelection, but the
Washington government desires more
definite assurances.
John Lind, President Wilson's en-
voy, is authorized to return to Mex
leo City, ''if, in his discretion, it
seemed advisable" 1t is believed
here that he will go, and that the
negotiations over some of the disput-
ed points, principally the retirement
of Huerta, will be re-opened.

William E. Sweet, Buyer Of This
City'S Bonds, Says That
the New Issue Could
Not Be Sold.
GRAND JUNCTION SHOULD WAIT
Bonds Necessary 10 Take Over
Various Plants Will Make
Indebtedness Equal

1T would be exceedingly unwise in
my opinion for Grand Junction to at
tempt at this time to buy its various
public utilities.
Il doubt very much if the bonds
could be marketed at this time.
IF Grand junction wants to own
her own public utilities size ought to
wait while until conditions are bet
ter.
TO buy these utilities at this time
would mean that the bonded indebt-
edness would be approximately the
same as the assessed valuation of the
city In 19l2-over million dollars"
The above statements are the sal
lent points of en interview given to
The Daily Sentinel this morning by
William e. Sweet of Denver, head of
the bond firm of w. Il. Sweet & Co.,
of the capital city. The Sweet COM
pany has been the largest individual
purchaser of bonds issued by the city
and consequently is anything but un-
friendly to the best interests of
Grand JlmeliOn. Part OF che water
bonds. the paving bonds, sewer bonds
and the school refunding bonds were
handled by the concern of which Mr.
Sweet is the head
Mr.. Sweet has been in Utah and
stopped over today en- route to his
home in Denver.
Il always visit Grand Junction ev-
cry opportunity | have" said Mr.
Sweet. "Our firIl is much interested
in your city, and in its prosperity and
I,hture. We have always been large
& purchasers of your bonds and our re-
yations have always been the most
pleasant, and we expect to have them
continue so.
Regarding the proposed purchase
of the various public utilities by the
city. l believe the movement to be
foolish and unwise at this time. The
oity has now outstanding water, paw
ing and sewer bonds in excess of
100000. If the properties owned
by the public utility corporations are
condemned-it is hardly doubtful
that the courts would fix price less
than three or four hundred thousand
dollars. So that the city's indebted
ness would be a million dollars, about
the amount of the assessed valuation
of the entire city of 1912.
Grand Junction has been engaged
in large amount of municipal i'm
provement work of late years with
her water system, paving and sewers
and the city ought to stop a while
now-at least until conditions are
better.
q do not believe that a new bond
issue could be sold at this time, in
view of the large bonded Indebtedness
already existing although it might be
possible. On the other hand, advo-
Gates of the proposal to acquire these
