this point there are 100000 refugees

Criticises Secretary Lane.

Mr. Calero several times criticises
Secretary Lane of the Interior Depart

of the Mexican commission. for state
ments which have been attributed to Mr.
Lane. He says the false conception

Quotes Secretary Lansing's Note.

Mr.. Calero quotes Secretary Lansing's
famous note of June 90. 1916, just be-
fore American troopers were slain at
Carrizal by Carrancistas. which begins:
The government of the United States
has viewed with deep concern and in
creasing apprehension the progress of
the revolution in Mexico" and in which
Mr.. Lansing pointed out TO Carranza the
failure he had made of his efforts at
government. which led. in that note. TO
the refusal of President Wilson to with
draw Gen. Pershing's expedition from
Mexican soil.
AS to this. Mr.. Calero says:
MIR. Wilson chose a middle course.
He neither withdrew the column nor
did he permit it to go forward for the
purpose of capturing villa for which
it had been dispatched.
Later we shall try to present the
only possible explanation OF this con-
Trajectory and ungraceful position: the
personal political interests of Mr. Will
SON."

MEXICAN DIPLOMAT
SCORES MR.. WILSON
Manuel CaIero Accuses Ad-
ministration of Illegal Act
of intervention.
SEVERE IN HIS CRITICISM

A striking arraignment of president
Wilson'S policies toward Mexico was
made public here last night in the form
of advance proofs of a book which mas
been written by Manuel Calero, VINO
was Mexican ambassador to the United
States while Mr.. Taft was President
Mr.. Calero charges that what President
Wilson did in Mexico was not simply
to refuse to recognize Huerta-whlch
NAV have been an eXcusable position
to take, according to Mr.. Caiero - nut
that what he did was actually to over
throw Huerta, which was an illegal
act of intervention in the internal al
fairs of Mexico"
The arraignment. which calls spade
a spade. goes into the Intracles OF
democratic and republican politics IN
the United States, and points out that
President Wilson. although refusing 10
recognize the Huerta regime in Mex
leo because it had a violent origin,
nevertheless recognized the govern
ment of Peru. although that, too. was
founded on assassination. The book is
written in the language and spirit OF
diplomacy, Notwithstanding its com
promising condemnation of President
Wilson's policies.

Mr.. Calero's Public Career.

Mr.. Calero is one of Mexico's best
known public men. He has held several
important public offices in that country
among them member of the Mexican
house of representatives and senator, as
well as secretary of the department of
Justice during the administration of De
La Barra as president. He was also sec
rotary of the department of foreign re-
lations in the cabinet of President Ma
dero.
He says:

While Not Broken Permanently Cool
lna Winds From Northwest Give
Promise Of Breathing Space
for Day or so.
sULTRINEss DISAPPEARS
Temperature Last Night Took Drop Of
Twenty Degrees When Wind
Blew In From the
Northwest

The threatened break in the heat
wave came last night shortly after
midnight While 1t may be only
temporary dent in the torr1d zone. 1t
may furnish a few cool nights and
little relief from the sultry atmosphere
of the last week. Keokuk was
threatened with heavy storm about
midnight but it ended in q threat
mostly. There was a generous dis
play Of lightning and some noisy
thunder. but very little rain. The
temperature dropped 20 degrees in
the might, due TO the soothing effects
OF a northwest wind which sprang up.
The wind continued from the north
west today, and the weather man
figures on fair and cooler weather
for tonight
While there is no need to unpack
oyercoats, still any little relief is
welcomed by the populace. and the
cooler temperature today meets with
general approval While 1t may be
less welcome
The temperature last night at Z
O'Clock was 80 degrees. This morn
ing at O'Clock 1t had dropped to ~
degrees. The high temperature yes
terday was 90, but the high humidity
and generally dead feeling OF the air
made 1t the most uncomfortable day
of the entire summer. Everyone
complained of the heat yesterday, and
last night The air preceding the
storm was exceptionally sultry and
it was q distinct relief when the
wind blew up from the north
The weather map this morning
shows a high pressure area to the
west that is bringing some cooler
weather. While not permanent, 1t
shows that the weather Is still able
to cool down a bit. There is no
danger of any frost, let it be known,
however.

The work OF applying the paint will

Chief John Anderson and Fred Hill

As soon as all the safety aisles and

Under the city ordinances no driver
can pass safety aisle or zone. while

pass a street car that has stopped to
discharge passengers. These are only
two Il many provisions that are vio-

The city officials after familiarizing
everyone with the traffic rules, will
then apply more strenuous means II

laws.
