New York, July 12.-The arrival of
the Australasian Davis Cup team in
this country during the present week
is expected to give added impetus to
both the international tennis matches
and the sport in general. The team,
consisting of Brookes, Dunlop, Doust
and Wilding, is one Of exceptional
strength and is considered to have an
excellent chance of ultimately win
ming the trophy emblematic of the
worlds team championship in tennis.
The quartet sailed yesterday and
should arrive in New York on Friday
or Saturday. They will go directly
to the West Side Club quarters at
Forest Hills, l.. l., for practice, NOV
Ing on to Chicago at the end of the
week for the first round against the
Canadian team. These matches are
scheduled for July %, "a and 25, Upon
the completion of this match the Aus
tralasian doubles pair, Wilding and
Brookes. will enter in the western

not be accepted unless such crew be-
longs TO a club which is affiliated
to a union or federation having an
agreement with the committee of
management of Henley Royal Regatta.
This rule obviously contemplate, and
has always been interpreted con-
templating, a union or federation OF
separate clubs duly affiliated thereto,
which by virtue Of its constitution ex-
ercises control over those clubs. If
such erxry were permitted in one
instance. other bodies would follow
suit. and the United Kingdom would,
in self defense, be compelled to form
a representative crew, probably every
year. This would entirely alter the
character Of Henley Regatta, and
would be seriously detrimental to the
rowing those clubs and colleges by
which Henley Regatta has been sup
ported since it's institution, and which
constitute the backbone of rowing in
this country. No doubt there have
been many entries in the past at Hen
ley Regatta from the Oversee Domin-
ions, as we'll as from foreign coun-
tries but they have been from clubs
formed on basis similar to that OF
the rowing clubs in this country. No
entry has ever been rendered by n
crew representing the whole of a
country. and it is thought advisablS
that a new departure in this direc-
ton should be made"

Mexico This was the statement to-
day Of Roberto Estava Ruiz, sub-sec-
retary Of foreign affairs. who is here
on his way to Europe. He said HUI
erta hoped to stop the civil war and
save the capital from capture and
possibly sacking. Ruiz said that Car
ba1al will retire in favor of a pro-
visional president acceptable to the
contitutionalists.
Ruis said he did not have much
time to talk to Huerta but would not
be surprised il his resignation was
announced tomorrow. He said Carba-
jal was suggested as provisional pres
ident by the American delegates at
the Niagara Falls mediation confer
ence and agreed to by the Mexicans
and South American mediators. The
Constitutdonahsts indirectly conveyed
the fact that he is acceptable to Car
rama. Ruis said he counted on the
willingness Of Villa to accept Carba-

SENTIMENT IS
FAVORABLE TO
PASSING BILLS
Both Republicans and Dem

Trust Measures Out OF the
WAY and Go Home.

Washington, July 12.-There is a
rapidly growing sentiment to consoli-
date the three remaining administra-
tion trust bills and both democrats and
republicans are anxious to complete
the work and get away. 1t appears
though that adjournment is impossi-

At present the plan is to dispose of
the trade commission bill first. This
is now before the senate. The judi
ciary committee expects to report the
Clayton antitrust bill Tuesday OF
Wednesday and the interstate COM
merce committee hopes to report the
railroad securities bill at the same
time. Many changes have been made
in the measure passed by the house.
but the leaders believe the conference
will soon straighten these out.
The senate also will be occupied this
week with a squabble over the nomi-
nations of Thomas D. Jones of Chi
cago and Paul NJ. Warbhrg of New
York, for the federal reserve board.
The fight may be long as the banking
committee will report the Jones NOM
ination unfavorably. Senator Hitch
cock will move to make public the
testimony taken by the committee and
this will give the first test vote. The
committee refuses to consider the
nomination of Warburg unless he ap-
pears to be questioned In view of

ination of the members it is hoped
Warburg will give in.

The Old Horse That Wentlo Church

no wonder, at the children had a way
Of singing Jesus bids us shine with
q clear, pure light" In q way that made
all waiting horses prick UP their ears.
The old brown horse had probably
never dreamed of time to come Nhen
he would not take the family to
church, yet that time came before the
third baby learned TO talk plainly. The
farmer bought a new horse. a beauti-
full. young. brown horse.
One Sunday morning the children
visited the old brown horse as usual
to give him his Jumps OF sugar. They
spoke kindly to the big gray horses
and patted their heads: but neither the
boy nor the girl went near the new
brown horse. They were not yet well
enough acquainted with him. They
stood back and admired his glossy
coat, but said they could mover love
him as they did the old brown horse.
After that the old horse kept think
ing and thinking pleasant thoughts
30 intently that he didn't notice that
the farmer came, quietly drew the car
riage from the barn. harnessed tins
new horse, and drove to the house.
Maybe the old horse would have
laughed could he have seen grandma
face when she stepped into the car
rage. She looked 20 scared because
the new horse wouldn't stand still.
The farmer was the only. one In the
carriage who looked pleased that
morning when the family sped to
church. leaving clouds OF dust behind.
He was proud OF his new horse and OF
the way he lifted his feet and tossed
his name. He had to pull on the lines
and say Whoa, whoa" 60 when he
reached the horse block In front OF
