Clubs Mrs. Pennybacker arrived yester-

ton Of the federation. which opens here

LAS to woman suffrage" she said, that
remains an open question.
Personally I approve Of it because I
think the highest type of woman Is in
terested in politics and everything that is
vital in life.
Aside from the extreme low neck and
the slavish following OF Partisan styles
which are to be condemned, think the
present fashions are enjoyable" said Mrs.
Pennybacker.
1.-The freedom which women have now
about the chest and waist which allows
Of deep breathing and comfort Is to be
praised
Suffrage and fashions probably will be
two Of the most interesting topics before

FAvORS CR0sSER BILL
AT COMMITTEE HEARING
Elmer E. Rogers Argues for Public
Ownership of All Public
Utilities.

The reliability OF figures introduced In
the District committee hearings on the
Crosser bill for municipal ownership of
street railways in tho District of Co
iumbta was vigorously attacked before
the committee today by Judson c. We'll
liver, newspaper man. The figures in
question purported to show disappointing
experiences of more than 200 cities which
had tried municipal ownership. Mr..
Welliver said the figures had been OBJ
tanned from a publication called MUM
cipal Ownership" which was published
entirely for purposes Of opposing the
public operation OF utilities and that the
figures must necessarily be, according to
his opinion. grossly misleading.
He also protested against the evil
|dence before the committee taken from
the National Civic Federation invescga-
ton Of municipal ownership OF puoilc
utilities in England. He charged the
that the seven men on the commission
were prejudiced one way or the other;
that two Of them were vitality interest
ed in privately owned utilities. and that
Discusses Local Conditions.
Mr.. welliver declared that "the spe-
ship in Washington is the condition
which cannot be remedied except by
Iunification of the street railways, and
that cannot be accomplished by any
thing short Of municipal ownership
He claimed there is inadequate car serv-
ice, mentioning the lines to and from the
Union station, and said that the round
about route necessary to reach a point
on 18th street northwest. when starting
at the Union station, is an evidence OF
wasted energy on the part of passengers
and car lines.

generalized the benefits Of municipal own
ership as he sees 1t. He declared that
| private ownership Of utilities lies square
ly across the pathway Of human prog
ress." He gave instances of public own
ership in various cities. covering nearly
everything the human family needs. from
| baths to omnibuses.
Representative Winslow asked him II he
was not a socialist The witness replied
that he took an aggressive interest IN
municipal ownership regardless of party

him as to the wide spread Of public
ownership, asked Mr.. Rogers whether he

lieved themselves to be the heaviest tax
ridden people on earth"
Yes. do ---.-. -....
Mr.. Winslow also asked him, as real
estate man, whether he would favor mu-
nicipal ownership of real estate ex-
changes The witness replied that he be-
lieved that where land is to be sold in
sections developing after street car lines
had been extended it would be better to
allow the city to sell it than to allow
real estate men to make too much money.
The hearing adjourned at 1890 until
later this afternoon.

the answer to the suggestion for an arm

No statement regarding its contents
probably will be issued until the meg
sage is in Gen. Carranza's hands. since,
though technically addressed to Mr.. Zu-
Duran, the communication is regarded as
a matter with which Carranza and his
advisors in Mexico should deal personally.
Mr. Zuburan therefore was unwilling to
discuss the proposals reported to be en-
bodied in the message but constitutional
lists here did not hesitate to express as
their personal view that Gen. Carranza
would not consent to an armistice nor to
discuss the internal affairs Of Mexico as

ton of crops and resulting In famines
and loss Of life.
Mr.. Davis has been chief engineer
of the reclamation service since the or
SANITATION of the service. twelve years
ago. Previous to that time he occupied
important positions in the geological sur

To Preserve Sovereignty.

ut should be unnecessary to say that
President Huerta gave the Mexican dele
cation special instructions not to con-
sent to anything which could hurt the
sovereignty of the Mexican nation and to
refuse a hearing in the deliberations of
the conference to anything which might
be construed as an imposition from the
outside. For their own part the delegates
would not have accepted instructions g
different nature on these points: but
they beg to state that hitherto they have
had no occasion to refer to them, thanks
to the exquisite tact of the mediation
plenipotentiaries and to the circumspec-
ton Of the American delegates
TO treat Of the interior pacifcation
OF Mexico in the course of deliberations
on difficulties of an International char
acter cannot be considered as submitting
the sovereignty of the nation to an ex-
ternal influence; said pacifcation Is neces-
sarily bound up with the international
question
This has been appreciated by the Mex
lean delegation. and IN setting forth the
Intentions OF It's government in the mat
ter and In Its endeavors to bring about
the pacificauon it has been inspired by
the knowledge that without it no salts
factory conclusion can be arrived at in

Think Carranza Bound.

The opinion OF the mediators is said
to be that CarranZa Is morally bound I'M
der the terms of the Guadeloupe-Hida
treaty between the United States and
Mexico signed in 1S4S. to submit his diff
ferences to the friendly arbitration of the
South Americans, just as much as was
Gen. Huerta- Attention was called today
to the fact that the treaty binds the two
countries to endeavor in the most sincere
and earnest manner to settle differences
by mutual representations and pacific
negotiations and not to resort to repri-
sails, aggression or hostilities of any kind
until the government deeming itself ag-
grieved shall have maturely considered
whether 1t would not be better that such
differences should be settled by the ar
bitration of commissioners appointed on
each side or by that of friendly ma
ton. The treaty provides that should
such a course be proposed by either
party 1t shall be acceded to by the other
unless deemed by 1t altogether incom-
patible with the nature of the differences
or the circumstances OF the case"
As an interesting sidelght on the work
of the southern mediators. attention was
called here today to the fact that 1t was
the United States and Mexico which In
1907 invited Argentina, Brazil and Chile
to send delegates to the second Hague
peace conference, where was adopted the
convention which declares that it shall
be both useful and desirable" In case
Of difficulties between two countries, for
neutrals to offer their good services in
mediation. And furthermore 1t was on
the suggestion of one Of the American
delegates that the words land desirable"
were added to the convention as finally
adopted The South American countries,
therefore, 1t was said, were doing exactly
what they had obligated themselves to do
when they signed the Hague peace con-
vention.

Senior Riano, the Spanish ambassador,
asked Secretary Bryan today to appeal
for the protection of Spanish citizens
in Tampico.
According to the ambassadors advices
another forced loan of 137.OOO pesos has
been demanded by constitutionalists Ac-
cording to the ambassador the Spaniards
have been singled out and prosecuted
as a class and the money demanded
from them in a lump sum.

that the constitutionalists insist that

Details NOT Worked Out

gress can in q short time be swept
Details Not Worked Out.
Details of tho transfer of govern
ment from the present regime to the
new have not been worked out. The
expectation is that Huerta would ap-
point a minister OF foreign relations,
the man who will be agreed upon at
the mediation conference for provision
al president and that the latter viii
name as his cabinet the other fndivid-
uals chosen by an arrangement mere
for the important portfolios.
The Mexican delegates were decidedly
hopeful today that all internal problems
would be worked out promptly II the
United States accorded the new pro-
visional government prompt recognition.
The Mexicans were particularly happy
that they had been able to make their
statement about Gen. Huerta's plans. BY
stating to the world that Cen Huefta
had told them before the conference be-
gan of his intention to resign as soon as
a sound government could be agreed to
to succeed his administration. the Mexi-
cans took the position that Gen. Huerta's
voluntary action had removed from the
scope of the mediation the question OF
his own elimination. He could thus re-
tire with the dignity, feeling that his
resignation was OF his own initiative.
The general feeling here is one OF OPP
umism. Upon the Constitutionaltsts de-
pend chiefly whether the trend of de-
velopnents shall be for peaceful so
luton or a continuation OF bitter civil
strife.
The Huerta contingent declare, how
ever that II the Constituencies insist
on lighting they will meet stubborn re-
sistance when they try to take San Luis
Potosi, where big federal force is con-
centrating. The constitutionalists an
swer to the nlediators' note of today is
not expected at once. 1t is believed the
time necessary for communicating with
Gen. CarranZa and consideration of the
note itself will take at least another
day or two. Out of courtesy to the con-
sjtutionalists the mediators will not
make public the note sent to Senior Zu-
baran. leaving that entirely to his dis
erection.

Statement by Mexicans.

Tho statement by the Mexican delegates
was prepared several days ago. but pub
Mcation Of 1t was withheld until Huerta
had telegraphed his complete approval
Its text follows:
TN accordance with the instructions
which the Mexican delegation has had
since the beginning of the peace negot.a-
lions. its members declared at the first
full CONFERENCE.-THE is to say. in the
presence of the medtating plenipotenti-
aries and Of the delegates of the United
States Of America-that President Huerta' s
personality is not an obstacle to the
reaching of satisfactory conclusion.
Gen. Huerta Is prepared to withdraw
from the government on condition that, at
the time of his withdrawal. Mexico shall
be politically pacifed. and the govern
ment succeeding his shall be such as to
count on the acquiescence of the gov
erned and on the support of public opinion,
which constitutes the real basis for peace
and stability in any country.
cit has been and Is President Huerta's
wish to place on record that neither mis-
taken pride nor personal interest will pre-
vent his withdrawal once the above
named conditions are satisfied
1.-The Mexican government accepted the
mediation Of the South American powers
Argentina. Brazil and Chile-in a frank
and open spirit, and the Mexican delega-
