they clearly indicated that they are

there shall be no quibbling.

statement of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, that the Virginia and Con-
necticut of the Third division of the
Atlantic fleet probably would be or
dered from dry docks to sail for Mex
ican waters on April 26 or 27. These
ships are undergoing slight repairs,
until that time, and until the ships
are ready no orders will be issued to
them.
He stated that the seven ships Of the
Pacific fleet to reinforce Admiral How
ard will be distributed at Mazatlan,
Acapulco and Topolobampo, but said
no further vessels of that fleet would
be dispatched south at present.
Senators Restless.
Impatience with the attitude of the
Mexican leader was the keynote Of
the talk in the senate cloakrooms and
around the house corridors at the cap
itol. Every one discussed the Mexican
situation in preference to lawmaking,
and every one apparently was agreed
that no temporizing with Huerta was
in order. The senators especially were
a unit in approving the administra-
tons demand.
The invasion of Mexico, beyond the
landing of marines at Vera Cruz and
Tampico, was not discussed as a prob
ability. Sentiment favored the idea
that the United States should in case
of hostilities, allow the Constitution
alists to drive Huerta from power
while it contented itself with holding
few ports and thereby cutting off
Huerta's chief source of revenue for
the maintenance of his army.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 18.-
Echoes Of the recent local option eIec.
tion in Richmond were heard Friday
night at the caucuses of the delegates
to the Progressive state convention
from Wayne county and from the
Sixth district when the districts rep
resentation on the resolutions COM
mittee came up for consideration, and
the prohibition" candidate for mem
bership on this important committee,
c. C. Tague, of Morristown, Shelby
county, was victorious over R. G.
Leeds, of Richmond, Progressive ma
tional committeeman from Indiana.
Mr.. Leeds advocated the adoption
Of the liquor plank incorporated in
the tentative platform drafted by a
subcommittee of the state committee
yesterday afternoon, which provides
that the question shall be entirely di-
yorced from politics and submitted
to a vote OF the people Of the state,
by the initiative and referendum"
Mr.. Tague was elected the districts 8
representative on the resolutions COM
mittee for the sole reason that he
championed a statewide prohibition
plank in the state platform. Mr.
Tague and Mr.. Leeds were the only
candidates nominated for member of
the resolutions committee at the
Sixth district caucus. The vote was

Commission Brief.
FIc-1RES PRESENTED
ThCOMPILED BY BOND
Shifts Payment of 5 Per Cent
Profit on Consumers in
Greater Proportion Than

Frenzied finance and clever manip-
Nlation of the preferred stock issue OF
100000 year ago, with the Juggling
of figures representing the physical
valuation of the Water Works com.
pany's holdings, are pointed out by
Alfred Bavis as the basis on which
the Richmond City Water Works com.
pany has based its high rates. The
filing Of brief with the state public
utilities commission yesterday by City
Attorney Bond came as a complete
surprise to Mr.. Bavis and other city
officials who have not seen the data,
they say.
In his supplementary report filed
yesterday, Mr.. Bond points out that
the city made mistake In permitting
the issuance of the 100000 preferred
stock issue year ago, which Off
GERS OF the company asserted at the
time, was required to take up $25O,OOO

per cent.
He points out that this, as an ex-
ample of the methods used by Che

ninety-seven per cent Of its face value
to stockholders and the three per cent
difference is charged against the con-
sumers who are really partially pay.
ing for part of the stock held by the
company.
Board Puzzled.
Why Bond did not consult with the
city officials or mention to them the
fact that he filed or was ready to file
the brief pointing out the financial
methods Of the company, is not under
stood by the officials.
1t is believed, however, that Bond s
reversed opinions have something to
do with the matter. Alfred Bavis,
then private citizen, protested
against the stock issue of the Water
Works company, coming as it did one
day before the public utilities COM
mission law was effective and urged
that the city, through Mr.. Bond, Sc
cure an Injunction against the sale of
the stock until after an investigation
by the new commission.
Bonds reply then was, 1T makes no

article, pointed out that this could

At the caucus of the Wayne county
delegates, held prior to the district
caucus, motion was made to indorse
Mr.. Leeds as Wayne county's candi-
date for district members Of the reso-
lutions, or platform, committee. A
vive voca vote was in order and there
was chorus of ayes and noes, J. w.
Judkins, of Cambridge City, the only
Progressive member Of the lower
house of the last legislature, acting as
chairman, ruled that "the noes have
it." 1t was then suggested that some
men who were not accredited dele
gates to the convention had voted, and
it was further suggested that another
vote be taken with only the delegates
participating in it. Before it could be
ascertained what members of the
crowd in the room were convention
delegates, E. F.. Warfel. of Richmond,
who had made the motion to indorse
Mr.. Leeds, withdrew his motion, sup
porters of the anti-prohibition plat
form plank having decided to take
the fight to the district caucus.
When the district caucus was call
ed to order Councilman Frank How
ellis, of Richmond, placed Mr.. Leeds
in nomination as the districts repre-
sentative on the resolutions commit
tee, and Mr.. Tague was nominated by
Shelby county delegate, represent
ing the "prohibition" faction.
Before the vote was taken each or
the two candidates was asked to ex-
plain his position on the prohibition
question Mr.. Leeds arose and stated
that he advocated the tentative liquor
plank drafted by a special committee
of the state organization.
nh T. yxyith
question which Mr.. Leeds favored
was as follows:
1--WE hold that the traffic in liquor
is a moral question and that its So
lutions rests in the moral attitude of
the people themselves; that the moral
attitude of the people of Indiana can
and will be honestly expressed upon
this question only when it is divorced
from partisan politics. AS perma-
nent solution, we believe that the
question of this traffic should be sub
mitted to a vote of the people of the
state, either by constitutional provls-
ion, or by the initiative and referen-
dunn. In the meantime we favor the
rigid enforcement of the laws, and
the passage of such laws as will ef-
fectually prohibit the shipping OF
liquor into dry communities either
from wet communities within the
state or without the state"
In explanation of his Endorsement
of the above plank Mr.. Leeds said
that he believed the initiative and
referendum and the constitutional
convention would afford adequate
methods for a solution of the liquor
question on non-partisan lines. The
liquor question, Mr.. Leeds contended.
should be submitted to the people
free from partisan politics. To make
it a partisan issue by the Progressive
party, he said, would be inviting dis
aster to all the other great principles

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-President
Huerta has defied the United States
by refusing to salute the American
flag at Tampico unless an American
salute is given the Mexican flag at
the same time. President Wilson has
given the Mexican dictator until 8
p. m. Sunday to comply fully with the
American governments demands. Un-
less the salute is fired by Huerta's
men before the expiration of the time
limit, President Wilson will present
the matter to congress for action.
The gravity Of the situation was
fully divulged today when President
Wilson authorized the statement that
Huerta is still insisting upon doing
something less than has been demand
ed and this "something less would
not constitute an acknowledgment that
his representatives were entirely in
the wrong in the indignitaries they
have put upon the United States.
Thirty Hours Time.
"The president has determined that
il General Huerta has not yielded by
six O'Clock on Sunday afternoon he
will take the matter to Congress Mon
day." said a memorandum issued at
the White House today

This action in giving Huerta thirty
hours in which to comply with the
United StateT demand followed the re-
ceipt of Huerta's refusal to fire the
salute according to naval customs.
Huerta demanded that the United
States salute the Mexican flag at the
same time he salutes the American
flag at TampicO. The United States
flatly refuses to grant this demand.
Although the administration officers
were optimistic as to the outcome,

Apart from the velours chapeau. the

do no wrong, with the simple. practi-
cal tailormade suit, the demand rests
entirely upon what is known as the
handmade hat, since by that method,
and that method only, is it possible to
achieve the clever. exceedingly subtle
touches, and toward this end also the
soft crown pursues an even tenor of
success.
Many new suits are made with full
circular skirts set on a deep yoke.
Other styles are in TERED designs with
three circular hounces. In some of the
palmer suits one sees long coats pleat-
ed panels introduced to give fullness
A few skirts are gathered and set on
deep yokes.
The skirts are extremely short. except
in the case of a few evening gowns,
which have the skirt very short in the
front only, with gradual tapering off
to a point in the back. where the skirt
is long enough to touch the floor.
In the bodices the moyen age and
the semi-f1tted designs are well rep
resented.
