CLOUDS TO DISAPPEAR
AT LEAST PRESIDENT is LOOK
ING FOR THEM TO VANISH.
Some of the Things That Are Now
Fostering the Administration
at Washington.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the pres
ent session of congress closes the
dark. ominous clouds which have
threatened the prestige of the United
States in its international relations
probably will have disappeared. This
is the expectation of President VII
son. who has now avowedly taken
charge of the American foreign pol.
lev himself. He is now employing all
the influence of his office in bringing
about a new and more wholesome
international feeling.
President Wilson has definitely
committed himself on the question
of exempting American coastWlse
shipping from the payment of PAN
anna tolls. His action on this SUB
iect was not unexpected. When he
announced that he was absolutely
opposed to the exemption, which was
written upon the statute books at the
last session of congress, he did mere
" that which had been anticipated
for months. Whether right or
wrong, his action has gone far to-
wards increasing his popularity and
prestige abroad.
However, the president has not yet
won his fight in opposition to the eX-
emption, and there is strong evidence
that he will have difficulty in doing
20. The Adamson act, containing
the exemption clause, passed both
the house and senate less than year
ago with huge maiorities, and it is
not believed in capitol circles that
either house of congress will reverse
itself without bitter struggle.
There is strong democratic sent1-
ment in congress in favor of the eX-
emption, basing itself on the general
assumption that since the United
States built the Panama canal 1t is
entitled to a little preferential treat
ment. This sentiment is led by Sen

his wife's action for absolute divorce.
According to the papers Mr.. Ep-

ed stage the evidence, but says ms
wife deceived him by asking for all
monv. and it made him so angry that
he is now not only contesting the
action, but is telling just how the ev-
idence was obtained.
The Epsteins were before Justice
Cohalan several months ago in an
action for separation, but the justice
effected a reconciliation between
them. Three weeks ago Mrs. Epstein
filed an action for divorce, in which
she accused her husband of improper
conduct with woman at NO. 1851
Madison avenue. She alleged she en-
tered an apartment at that address
and found her husband and an uni
Identified woman together. At the
same time she asked for $40 week
alimOny.
The alimony application was Mr..
Epstein's cue to reply that cousin
of his wife approached him and ask
ed him to furnish Mrs. Epstein with
evidence for divorce. According TO
Mr.. Epstein he consented, and an at
torney for his wife rented an apart
ment in West Ninetieth street, but
the scheme fell through because the
lawyer was unable to find woman
to play the part of correspondent.
On the same day that the scheme
failed, Mr.. Epstein asserts, he called
I'D his wife by telephone at the home
of a Mrs. Shapiro, and Mrs. Shapiro
suggested that she arrange the de-
tails for the divorce action. The
manufacturer alleges he agreed to
the proposal and Mrs. Shapiro told
him she had a woman friend VINO

act had failed to make an impression
on him. President Wilson has so far
failed to find any man in his own par
tv who will lead his fight in the SEN
ate Most of the administration lead
ers are already shoulder-deep IN
work and worry with the legislative
program before them. Senator Root
is the most conspicuous advocate OF
the presidents contention on the NIL
nority side, but Mr.. Wilson will need
to have an able and vigorous demo-
cratic coadjutor to win the senate TO
his cause.
The other great international ques-
ton now before the United States is
Mexico. In the past few weeks the
situation has been materially chang
e. by the raising of the embargo on
aims and ammunition, allowing the
cCnstitutionalists to import rifles and
artillery from the United States on
The same basis as the Huertistas.
The effects of this action have not
vet become visible, although the con-
stitutionalists are now prosecuting a
more vigorous policy in northern
Mexico than ever before. 1T has not
ably quickened all the anti-Huerta
forces in the republic and has served
to put an end to the restlessenss OF
European nations under the Ameri-
can "watchful waiting" policy.
The lifting of the embargo is the
can policy. Before many weeks have
passed other measures will have
been taken by the United States cal
culated to show that complete COOP
Grafton between this nation and Eu-
ropean powers has been reached in
Mexican affairs.
A smaller diplomatic tangle, but
one exceedingly difficult, is that pre-
sented by the claim Of Colombia
against the United States govern
ment. Colombia wants redress for
the filching of Panama from her.
She has been seeking recognition OF
her claim before congress for several
years. 1t is probable the present con-
gress will compensate her, although
not to the full extent of her claim,
which is $25, 100000.
President Wilson has recognized
that his conduct towards the Colon
bian claim, no less than towards
Mexico, will be taken as a keynote
of his Latin-American policy. The
enemies of the United States in South
America are very active at present,
and are seeking some method of I'M
dermining growing American inttu-
ence there. Germany is particularly
aggressive in opposing the United
States in Brazil and Argentina. The
slightest act on the part of the Will
son administration having even the
surface appearance of aggression and
Injustice will be heralded far and
wide in Latin-America.

OPPOSITION TO BIG SUBSIDY
SURE TO DEFEAT PURTELLE

Despite the widespread feeling that
the 100000 subsidy election to back
the Purtelle interurban line will un-
doubtedly result in a defeat for Pur-
telle, the traction promoter is sparing
no efforts to force the expensive elect
ion on Wayne and Boston townships.
Last night he appeared before the
directors of the South Side Improve
ment association and made a success
full bid for their support. In the
course of his remarks he stated he
would guarantee that the proposed
road would be completed by 1916 as
he would get the money necessary for
its construction in one way or an
other. He declared that there was no
doubt there would be subsidy elect
ion as the county commissioners were
compelled by state law to call the
election petitioned for At the same
time, he stated, while he expects the
subsidy proposition will be defeated
by the voters the road nevertheless
will be built, subsidy or no subsidy.
Following Purtelle's remarks the di-
rectors of the association voted to en-
dorse his Hamilton and Richmond in
terurban proposition and to vote and
work for the subsidy.
Appeal TO roman.
The county commissioners knowing
the sentiment Of the voters to be
against the subsidy game and that an
election for such purpose will un-
doubtedly 60 against the Purtelle ele-
ment, are anxious to spare the town
ships involved the useless expenses
of such elections. The attorney gen.
eral of Indiana will probably be ap-
pealed to for an opinion as to whether
or not it is mandatory for them to
call such elections. The attorney gen.
erals opinion will probably be receiv-
ed in time for the commissioners
meeting next Saturday.
Business men were outspoken in
their objections to the proposed sub
sidy today and declared that, in view
of the unsettlement of financial and
business conditions due to the devas-
tating European war, now was no
time to consider either great in
crease in the townships tax rate or a
great addition to it's Indebtedness such
as the proposed subsidy would en-
tail
Charles Jordan, secretary of the
Commercial club, which organization
refused to have anything to do with
Purtelle and his proposition, stated
Tat he was absolutely against the
proposed subsidy.

STOPS PARCEL POST
Department Suspends Ser
vice in Europe.

International mail service is ser1
ously effected by the European compli
cations. Today an order was received
at the post office from Washington
that the parcel post agreement be-
tween France, Germany and United
States had been suspended. Since Eng
land is now embroiled, it is probable
that parcel post service between this
country and the British Isles will
cease also.
Permission was given to issue mon.
ey orders not exceeding $10O to Ameri'
can tourists in any foreign country
with which the United States transfers
money.
The post Office department is hold
ing mail for Germany and other coun'
tries at New York where advantage
was taken of the two cent rate. Two
cent international postage exists only
where there is direct steamship con-
nection. Since this connection with
Germany has been suspended only let
ters bearing five cent stamps will be
sent out of the country.

community wants interurban lines
this proposition looks like a bad one.
The 100000 proposed subsidy from
Wayne township would be for just two
and one-half miles of interurban line,
Or at the rate of $4,000 mile. That
is preposterous.
If the county commissioners can
legally refuse to call this election they
should do SO for it would only result
in an overwhelming defeat for the
proposal. Therefore, the expenses of
such an election should be saved.
feople are not going to vote such a
great sum as 100000 for subsidy at
such time as this, with the outlook
as 1t is due to the bad war situation
in Europe. Nor are they going to
vote for any measure that will in
crease our already high tax rate.
"According to the latest reports the
tax rate for Richmond next year will
be $3.50 per hundred. That is pretty
high-too high. Why, I have a letter
from a manufacturer who is consider
ing locating here, in which he says.
From a personal knowledge Rich
mond seems pretty steep on taxes.
So you see our present tax rate is a
handicap when it comes to locating
new factories here.
Ito increase the tax rate by the
payment of such heavy subsidy will
not only keep new factories out but
might drive capital already invested
here away. In letter l have just re-
ccived from local man he says, In
talking with local manufacturer to
day he said in view of the mounting
tax rate in Richmond it was doubtful
if he would remain here very many
years."
