POWERS QUESTION OUR MEXICAN POLICY

Officials Admit Receiving Diplomatic Inquiries About Our Attitude to Our Neighbors. Washington, July 15.—Administration officials admitted tonight that the situation in Mexico and diplomatic inquiries from Europe as to what the attitude of this country would be toward its neighbor on the south were engaging their deepest attention. Secretary Bryan had a two hour conference with Presided! Wilson today and while the Japanese question pnd departmental appointments consumed , much of their time, the foremost subject before them was the Mexican problem. Earlier in the day it had been discussed at length at the cabinet meeting.

Mr. Bryan declined to say frfaat the policy of the United States government would be toward any European representations but intimated that a pronouncement on the situation might be expected in a short time. It is known that the administration officials have been continuously opposed to recognition of the Huerta government until* elections were held and it has been expected that any future declaration to the foreign powers would be along the 1 lines of the Latin-American statement made by President Wilson soon after he took office. In this he proclaimed that his administration would seek to make a basis for intercourse with Latin-American countries the principle of governments set up on orderly processes and “not upon arbitrary or irregular force.” He also stated that the American government would prefer those who act in the interest of peace and honor, who protect private rights and respect the restraints of constitutional provision. The restoration of tranquility, at least within the city of Guaymas proper, on the Paeiflc-Mexlcan coast, was indicated in a dispatch to the navy department today from Admiral Cowles, commanding the American squadron. The admiral said the insurgents had evacuated the ctiy and that the federal forces had retaken the water supply near the city. According to state department reports the revolutionists have seized 740,000 pounds of sugar and 1,000 gallons of alcohol belonging to the United States Sugar company, of Los Mochis. Large '•quantities of similar stores &t Topolobampo are said to be in danger of similar appropriation. Oarransa Wires Huerta. Eagle Pass, Texas, July 15.—Venustiano Garranza, commander in chief of the constitutional forces in Mexico, announced today that he had sent the following telegram to President Huerta: & “Senor ex-General Yictoriano Huerta, Palido Nacional, Mexico, D. P. “I am informed of the anti-Amer-icpn manifestations inspired by you as a last resort for maintaining you in the power which you have usurped. I wish to inform you in the name of the people of Mexico, whose majority - are constitutionalists, that they protest against your infamous conduct, which if it succeeds, will bring us to a conflict without good reason. Reserving the opportunity for demanding responsibility for your new treason. - (Signed.) “V. CARRANZA.” Carranza has established his headquarters at the town of Nadatores, within a few miles of Mondova from which the rebels were driven by the federal troops of General Maas last week. He is massing his forces with the intention of attempting to recapture Monclova.

A bolt of lightning Monday fired the grandstand at the Harlem, 111, race couse.and before fire apparatus arrived from Chicago every building at the track had been destroyed with a loss of about $50,000.

CUT HIS THROAT ON MONON TRAIN

Charged With Wife Desertion, Ladoga Taildr Attempted to End His Own Life. Lafayette Journal. Aifter brooding over family troubles and charges of wife desertion that have been filed against him until his mind had become deranged, George Goetz, a Ladoga tailor, attempted suicide on Monon train No. 3, Monday morning. The despondent man inflicted several deep cuts on his throat jusfr as the .train was pulling into the North street station in this city. He was being taken from Menominee, Mich., where he was arrested Sunday, to Crawtfordsville by Police Captain Michael,,of that city. During the trip Goetz told the police captain of the skeletons he had seen flitting about the corridors of the jail at Menominee. He also declared that men were running alongside the train trying to grasp him through the car windows, and refused to beldeve that it was only the shadow of the train. As the train neared this city he arose from the seat and entered the toilet room in the car in Which he was riding. Captain Mdchael waited outside the door for him for some time and after the train had started opened the door to see what detained him so long. Goetz staggered out with blood flowing profusely from the wounds ih his throat. He declared that if the knife had not been so dull that he would have finished the job. His throat was bandaged with a handkerchief and upon his arrival at Crawfordsville he was placed in a separate cell on the second floor of the jail. .He was brought into police court yesterday morning, where he was questioned by Prosecutor Clonser. His preliminary hearing on the wife desertion charge was set for Friday morning. J. C. Beayer, of the Purdue experiment station, came to Rensselaer today to consult with County Agricultural Agent Barrett and to assist him in making some soil tests. Mr. Barrett intends to have a careful analysis made of the bogus land and to try to determine what it needs to make it productive. Mr. Beaver is an expert in soil analysis. A report of the result of the analysis has 'been promised for the newspapers. D. H. Yeoman came home yesterday from a visit with his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mauck, of Muncie.

Mrs. Bert Hopkins, who is now visiting there, will accompany them home. Mr. and Mrs. Mauck will remain here until the latter part of next week. Mr. Mauck reports that there is much building going on at Muncie, which city suffered considerable flood damage in March.

8 ! A. E. and N. C. Shafer Have Fine Plant and J. L. Willis Occupies New Kurie Buijd’iig. The two new garages in Rensselaer have'been completed for some time and are now occupied and they are modern in every appointment, having been built after their owners had made several trips to investigation to ascertain the best pinna for garage buildings. Including the Rensselaer Garage this city now has three modern arid well equipped plants and should be able to care for all the needs of the local and transient business. The Shafer building is 50x125 feet in dimensions and is located at the corner of Cullen asd Cornelia streets. It is made of having brick, the front being chipped to resemble stone.- The roof is asbestos and is supported by heavy steel trusses. Plate glass windows In front and on the sides give the building a splendid appearance. A. E. Shafer, who formerly lived in Logansport, came to Rensselaer and engaged in business with his son, N. C. Shafer, after the latter had proven that there was a good field here. The son and father are both good mechanics and they have employed the services of Will Timmons, a well known, expert in auto engineering, and have equipped their plant with the best repair machinery. Located with 'them in the garage is Johik Braddock, who has installed a Haywood Model A vulcanizing plant for all sort of retreading and sectional, tube work and relining of tires with a diameter from 2Va to 6 inches. The plant is the largest and best manufactured and is just what is used in the largest gaTages in the country. The treatment employed is known as the dry cure, no live steam coming in contact with the tires. To prepare himself for running the plant Mr. Braddock took at training course at the factory for two or three iweeks. A 5-horse boiler Is used to generate the steam. The vulcanizing plant and work room are in the rear end of the building and are partitioned off from the balance of the shop. There is still room for some fifty machines. The office is equipped with desk, cash register, safe, etc., and the policy of the Shafers is to have everything the best. N. C. Shafer belongs to the Chicago Motor dub and this fact will give him prestige for a great deal of transient business. The requirements of the business so far have caused the proprietors to hire two more men, one an expert washer and handy man. The Kurrie building is 49x103 feet in dimensions, of brick construction and a lattice-truss roof with 352 square feet of sky lights. The floor is of solid cement with a water-tight cement pit. J. L. Willis, the tenant, has been engaged in the garage business for several years, and is a first-class mechanic. He has not completed the removal or Installation of .all of his machiriiry, having formerly been located ust south of the new building, which is at the corner of Washingon and Cullen streets with entrances on each street. Mr. Willis will have lathes, motors, drill press, emery grinders steam vulcanizing plant and other modern machinery for repair work. He has installed an electric air compresser for tire inflation which can be attached to any light socket and which is the latest method of filling tires. He has also installed a Bowser underground gasoline tank of 1,000 gallons capacity and has pumps at he entrances on 'both streets. This garage is also modern and a eredit to Rensselaer, through -which city there is a great amount of tourist travel.

The marvelous growth of the automobile business during the past two or .three years has made possible three fine garages which employ about twenty men, while almost that many more residing in Rensselaer make their living as repair men and drivers. That the automobile business will continue to grow ,there is every indication; and these garages are built with a view to handling all the business that may come to them for several years to come. Reports of storm damage continue to come in. John Eger had a silo either struck with lightning or tipped pver by the wind on the farm occupied by Adam FleSher. James Tyler, of Hanging Grove township, lost a horse by lightning. Fred Arnott and Rex Warner, who took an auto trip to Buffalo, N. Y, with John M. Knapp, are having a fine time. They have been flaking boat trips and visiting several points of Interest Monday they were in Detroit and postal cards sent home did not say when they would get back.

Long hospital at Indianapolis is a part, stands in the highest class of medical schools in the United States. The American Medical Associatiorf, which is devoted to research work, divides all the medical schools into three classes. The first is A plus, which means more than 27 of the highest grade requirements have been met. The classification was made only after the most thorough inspection by the council- of the association. Many schools over the country with much larger faculties and many more students failed to make, the highest class and the honor to Indiana University comes from the thoroughness of the course, the direct application of the most scientific methods and the research work of its faculty. For next year many departures are planned. The Long Hospital at Indianapolis will be completed and added as a distinct feature of the school. Dr. and Mrs. Long transferred property valued at *5200,000 to the university in 1910 for the building of a hospital for the care of the poor of the state under the control of the school of medicine. Later Dr. and Mrs. Long gave $25,000 for equipping the hospital. The legislature recently increased the appropriation from $25,000 to $65,000 for maintenance.
