BR|TONs To SEND
ANOTHER LETTER
NOTE RECEIVED YESTERDAY TO
BE FOLLOWED BY SUPPLE
MENTARY ONE SHORTLY.

Washington. D. c., July 27.-sir Ed
ward Grey cabled Secretary Lansing
today that the British government has
in preparation another note to the
United States on the orders in coun-
ell, and asked that the note delivered
yesterday be withheld from publica-
ton, pending receipt of the new CON-
munication. Therefore, yesterdays
note will not be published tomorrow
morning as had been planned.
No indication of the nature of the
forthcoming note was given in Sir Ed
wards cable and state department Of
flcials have no intimation. They as
sumo, however, that 1t is of supple
mental nature. The development will
further delay dispatch of the Ameri-
can note to Great Britain on the same
subject Secretary Lansing had
about finished it and it was to be sent
to President Wilson at Cornish, N. H.,
for his approval. It will not be dis
patched until the new British note
has been received and considered.
, Note Duo In Week.
Secretary Lansing said the mes
sage from London stated the new
note would be here in another week.
In official quarters, the develop
ment was regarded as highly signifi-
cant. The belief prevailed that the
last American note to Germany with
its references to the freedom Of the
seas may have influenced Great
Britain to place herself on record as
willing to take under consideration
any new suggestions by the United
States to the belligerents.
Sir Edward Grey's request that the
note received yesterday be withheld
was taken to mean at all events that
a new situation had arisen or that
some new proposals were about to be
made by Great Britain to alleviate
the effects Of the order in council.

KUERTA OBJECTS
!. TO HUMILIATION"
TO u. s. SUPREME
4 COURT JUSTICE TO REGISTER
HIS COMPLAINT.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 27.-The cause
of the complaint which General
Huerta, awaiting trial here on charge
Of conspiracy to violate American neu-
trality, telegraphed yesterday to Chief
Justice White Of the United States SUI
preme court, became known here yes
terday. Huerta charged that his home
here had been violated by agents OF
American justice without scruple," and
demanded guarantees for his family.
1t was after Huerta had been taken
for visit to his family that he made
his protest. Two agents of the depart
ment of Justice, Clifford Beckham and
e. P. Stone; went through the house
before the arrival Of the prisoner to
ascertain II there were any men other
than members of his family, and re-
NAMED in the room with Huerta dur.
ing his conversation with Mrs. Huerta,
their daughter, and other members OF
his family.
Huerta has received his wife and
children at Fort Bliss on their arrival
recently from New York, but this was
the first opportunity he had had to see
them in their new home. The deputy
United States marshal who has Huerta
in charge at the fort acceded to his re-
quest to be permitted to make the call
but asked the department of justice
agents to be present.
Mrs. Huerta made no objection to an
examination Of the house by the de-
partment agents, who searched it be-
fore Huerta had left Fort Bliss. How
ever, Mrs. Huerta complained to her
husband and he protested earnestly to
Beckham and Stone, claiming that the
children had been unduly frightened.
Shoot me. If you like. am pris-
oner and you may do what you like
with me-" he said, but do not modest
NV wife and children"
The agents asked Huerta to be more
specific as to which child had been
frightened and how, but he was evas-
i've, adding: Really, it was not that
so much. They were frightened but
the entire incident has been humiliat-
ing to me"
Meantime the children were running
about the house, playing and laughing,
according to the agents.
Beckham and Stone told Huerta they
were forced to consider themselves
the Judges of what must be done and
the manner in which 1t was done, say
ing they had no intention, however, to
humiliate him or to fr1ghten his fam
lily.

County Agent Praises Festival

County Agent W. M. Bewick, ac-
companied by Mr.. A. Kogleschatz, Jr.,
drove over to Charles Town recently
where they met State Leader Nat
T. Frame and looked over the street
fair that was being held there. They
all felt thatit was most excellent ex-
hibit and one to be proud of in any
community. The entire affair was held
in the middle of the street. occupying
several of the main business blocks.
A very strong department was the
school exhibits, which, though not
showing much skill in choosing and
preparing articles for show, indicated
q great deal of interest. They are of
great educational value and could be
planned to be of much greater value
than they are usually. The interest
ing features were that less than $3.50
covered all finances and that in spite
of this fact, the crowds were immense
and the interest very keen. 1t was
simply great get-together meeting of
the community where all could exhibit
their best effo Is and learn what their
neighbors were doing and~boCst for the
county There should be many more
such fairs in. the country. Martins
