HUGHES SOON TO
PROBE MEXICO

Warrington. April decentralization
of the Mexican problem by Secretary
Hughes was forecast today by formal
announcement that Charles T. sum
merlin. American charge at Mexico
for conference.
Mr.. Summerlin left the Mexican capi-
tai last night and is expected to place
before the department information
that will enable Mr.. Hughes to formu-
late more definitely the policy TO be
adopted by the u. S. in dealing with
Mexico.
1t is understood that in general at
titudc of tho government will not dif-
fer greatly from that indicated by for
mer Secretary Colby when he informed
the Mexican government that a signed
acknowledgement OF its intention to
safeguard tho lives and interests Of
Americans must be one of the preLm-
mary steps to recognition.
The present administration is under
stood TO have agreed that tho course
outlined by the sub-committn of the
senate foreign relations committee
which investigated conditions in Mcxi-
co must be followed.
President Obrcgon OF Mexico. on the
contrary. has insisted unoficiaily that
recognition must como. II at all. be-
cause Mexico merits II. and not because
of any agreement.
Reports to the department on condi-
tions in Mexico have varied widely.
Some have represented President obre-
-on as the victim of so much intrigue
as to threaten his tenure OF Office while
others have insisted that tho Mexican
president was more than holding his
own.
The American policy. however, will
not be based wholly on conditions in
Mexico. IL was explained. Official re-
assurances OF tho future policy of tho
Mexican government in dealing with
Americans will he insisted upon. and

Of wheat which Is very catering, show
Ing considerable improvement since De-
Cember, contrary to normal and the pres

age. These reports have Influenced the
minds of the trade in terminal markets
ana seemingly the condition Of the crops
as shown in these reports is cOrrobOrated
by a considerable Increase in the SELL
ing Of old wheat by the country. There
have been numerous reports from the
winter wheat section showing liberal

business the cash demand is distinctly
slow, prices being from &c to &C. lower,

bushels. but this has been without effect
in the face Of the excellent crop outlook
and the Increased offerings by the coun-

say In her divorce petition:

spectator as a rival for my affections.
He Is a mere nonentity, blooming like
the flower in the well known poem
merely to waste his sweetness on the
desert air Of q kerosene circuit.

rest before one goes on the stage. With
my husband in the act l am never at

John Schmitt. confessed murderer of four
men, was hanged Mt the state peniteu-
tary here at $40 o'clock this morning.
Schmidt was the first man to be hanged
under the new capital punishment law
in this State and his execution resulted
in the resignation of Henry Drum as
warden of the penitentiary. who retired
from the position he held eight years
rather than execute any man.
The condemned man was converted to
the Catholic faith yesterday.
