 Whether the original note received here last Monday and withheld from the press at the request of the British foreign office will be allowed to stand in it's present form and also be made public, has not been disclosed.

New York, July 31.-As an inheri- tance from the Becker case, itself so productive of bitter feeling, there re- mained last night sharp dispute in- volving an issue of fact between Gov ernor Whitman and Martin T. Manton one of Becker's counse.
 Manton has denied a statement at- tributed to the Governor Last night. in dispatches from Albany, Whitman reiterated his statement in substance. Manton has prepared reply which he will make public as soon as he re- ceives an answer to a telegram he has sent to the Governor.
 The issue involved is whether Man. ton, in a plea to Whitman for Becker,s life, named five men, three living two dead" as recipients of graft.
 Message to the Governor.
 Manton yesterday sent the follow ing telegram to Governor Whitman:
 The newspapers report you as say- ing: ITO Becker's denial that he had agreed to make revelations of graft ing, the Governor said Martin T. Man ton had given him statement con taining the names of five men, two dead and three living, who were i'm plicated in the grating" Did you make this statement or authorize it
 Governor Whitman said last night in Albany that he had not received the Manton telegram, but that 1t might be with a pile of mail and tele- grams concerning the Becker case which he had not had time to con sider. He added that, although Man. ton had never left with him formal stateIn ent containing the names of men said to have been implicated by Becker in his stories of graft, the attorney had named several

HOW TO HEAL
 SKIN-DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and sim- liar itching, burning skin troubles.
 At any reliable druggists get jar of resinol ointment and cake of resinol soap. These will not cost bit more than seventy-fve cents. With the res- incl soap and warm water bathe the af- fected parts thoroughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is soft- ened. Dry very gently. spread on thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage-if necessary to nrotect the clothing. This should be done twice day. Usually the distress inc itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon be. comes clear and healthy again.

DEFINITE ACTION BY
 U. 5. IN MEXICO
Army and Navy Prepared for
 Any EYentualty

Washington, July 31.-Definite steps toward restoration of peace in Mexico will be taken immediately upon Presi- dent Wilson's return to Washington next week. What specific action the president may have decided on has not been disclosed, but 1t was authori- tatively. stated last night that the executive deprtmerts of the govern nlent were preparing to carry out promptly the program determined upon Only an expected move in Mexico itself to end the strife it is said, would further delay affirmative action by the United States to restore constitutional government in the war torn republic.
 Armed intervention is not believed to be contemplated, in the presidents $ program Many officials believe no forceful measures will be required. Persistent reports have reached here that the faction leaders are inclined to yield to the demands of this gov ernment for peace conference.

 Secretary Lansing said yesterday that the representations sent to Generals Carranza, Villa and zapata Thursday night, urging that routes to Mexico City be opened to provision trains, were forceful. The message to Car ra1lza who controls the railroad from Vera Cruz, was particularly emphatic. While not couched as demand that the railroad to Mexico be opened and kept open, it's purport was to that effect. S
 No Answer Received.
 NC answer from any of the Mexican generals had been received last night It was believed, however. that provi- sion trains would be moving to Mexico City within a few days under guard of Carranza troops.
 Oficials were led to this belief by reports that General Gonzales had driven off a Villa column under Gen. eral Fierro and returned to Villa Gaudeloupe. just outside Mexico City, preparatory tor occupying the apital.
