Huerta TO See Weeks
about Mexican Affairs
Obrcgon's Secretary Of Finance,
Nop in Neio York, 10 Confer
With Officials OF State Dept.

MEXICO CITY, July 10 ny Inc ~
,oeiated Press) .-Adolfo De Ia Huerta'
Mexican Secretary Of Finance, now In
Nav York. has been dires.ei By Presi-
den. ObregCn to proceed TO Washing
ton &c confer with State Departments
officials. who are said TO have invited
him 70 a conference. according 20 IN
formation from authoritative sources
The understanding here is that Senior
de In Huerta viii leave new YORK
Monday and remain in Washington no
longer than two days, and then proceed
20 Mexico.
President Obregon's orders are said
70 have been sent from Puenta de l1tla,
Morelos. yesterday, where the Presi-
dent was engaged In matters sup
posedlv in connection with the Bielaski
case. Government officials in Mexico
City decline 70 confirm these reports.
The President did not return 20 Mexico
City last night as announced, and his
stay IN Morelos may be for an In
definite period.
The several postponements OF tho
departure OF Senior dc Ia Huerta from
New York have given rise 10 speeula-
ton, which has found expression in
some Of the newspaper comment. The
Cronos." which Is not always favorable
20 Oregon, asserts De Ia Huerta has
rendered his resignation. and that II
he returns 10 Mexico he will 90 direct
20 Sonora, where he will resume the
Governorship, from which he was given
leave OF absence. IL Is vigorously de-
MED in official quarters, however, that
he has resigned.
Despite Senior de la Huerta's re-
peated declarations supporting the
Presidents stand in not signing the
debt agreement. there is much talk in
the street and gossip in the corridors
Of the government buildings that the
Secretary feels he has been placed in an
embarrassing position. inasmueh as II
was understood he carried full powers
70 act when he left for the United
States.
Apparently President Obrcgon Is de-
voting considerable time 20 his per-
sonal investigation Of the Bielaski
kidnapping. After questioning all per-
sons at Cuernavaca who possessed
knowledge Of the case, no went 20
Puento de IYtia, near the scene OF
Bielaski's escape. IL Is expected this
week will see a definite conclusion Of
the incident. A court Of inquiry Is
being conducted by Cucrnavaca
judge, who says all evidence will be
submitted By Tuesday.

British Queen Mother
Leads Busy Life at 70
Applause Which Greets Public
Appearance of Alexandra
Acts "a Tonic

Alexandra. the Queen Mother, now In
her seventy-eighth year, Is far more
active than most women Of her age.
She might take life far easier than
she does. but she evidently is opposed
to the idea OF being laid on the shelf.
She likes to show herself among the
people and she Is gratihed by the ap-
plause with which her appearance al
ways IL greeted. Undoubtedly, IL acts
as a sort Of psychological tonic upon
her and helps her TO feel as young as
she looks.
She crowds many activities into a
day. One day recently she appeared in
public at the Cart Horse Parade for
prizes in Regents Park; then at
concert in aid Of workshops for dis
abled soldiers. and finally at the Rich
mond Horse Show. But she makes two
concessions TO advancing years; She
seldom goes out OF an evening and she
goes 10 bed early, usually playing
game Of patience" before retiring.

Estelle Taylor for the part that we
decided we must have been wrong IN
our estimate Of the young lady's charm
and ability when We saw her In. one
picture q while back. Yesterday, how
ever. we journeyod to the Strand 70

she never could know and never could
understand.
Miss Taylor Seems Miscast
Miss Taylor seems so palpably mis-
cast that 1t spoiled the picture for
us. II you are going 20 watch hand
some young thing like Wallace Mac
Donald shoot himself in the head and
fall over the side Of n ship, and
fascinating man like Lewis Stone desert
his wife and children, also his business
and his friends. and become n recluse,
with a bottle Of brandy always in his
hand, you've 20: 20 see some pretty
good reason for it or you cant believe
II for a moment.
Take away the motive. and there Is
no story. and. although we tried as
hard as we could, we could not believe
that these men would suffer such tor
nents as these for this particular
vampire lady, or, In fact, any torments
other than those Of boredom.
This Gilda Fontaine seemed always
sure Of the aphrodisiaeal lure OF the
lipstick, and whenever she wished TO
attract a new victim she would roll
her eyes, undulate slightly and touch
up her lips. Her hair was frizzled and
curled, her raiment was fearfully and
wonderfully made, and she had all Of
the sayoir faire Of the young lady
who sells hairpins at our favorite
notion counter. As a leading woman
in an ordinary role Miss Taylor would
no doubt be quite adequate, but as the
motif in a picture like this one she Is
mill We kept thinking how wonderful
Pola Negri would have been in the
part and how we should have enjoyed
seeing her do IT, and there are Elise
Ferguson and Olga Petrova and Pauline
Frederick. ANY Of these women might
have made the story plausible.
When Theda Bara made the same
role famous a few years ago we mar
YELLED at her beauty and talent. IL
was almost the first picture We ever
saw. however. and we have no idea how
We should feel about II II We saw II
now.
The photography is splendid in this

Lewis Stone Well Cast
The most exactlng role in the picture
falls 10 Lewis Stone, as John Schuyler.
He gives a fine performance and he
seems TO us the man for the part. He
is one OF those dependable actors who

Schuyler, and the vampire might do

Automobile Sales May Hurt
Other Lines of Merchandise

Wholesale and retail merchants in
general lines are beginning 10 give
some thought to the possible effect that
the large sales Of automobiles last
spring and this summer will have on
other lines Of merchandise this fall.
In some quarters II is felt that the rec
ord-breaking sales OF motor cars, about
80 per cent Of which are estimated 10
have been sold on the installment plan,
will leave the auto purchasers without
much ready cash for clothing and
house furnishings this fall.
