THE

AMBASSADOR ANGRY, OVER THE GARBLED GOTHAM 'INTERVIEW

(Wilson Today Denies Most of the Statements Which Are Credited to Him. Talked with bryan Secretary Refuses a Statement Wilson Meets . President Modnay. (Rational News Association) WASHINGTON, July 26. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson reached the office of Secretary of State Bryan today and expressed his views on the Mexican situation. The interview with Mr. Bryan was preliminary to the one which the envoy will hold with President Wilson. The ambassador's first act on his arrival here today waB to repudiate almost entirely the interviews sent out from New York last night. "Most of the statements attributed to me in the papers this morning are absolutely false," he said. "I did not call General Carranza a bandit or refer to the revolutionary movement as a campaign of bandits; nor did I say that all talk of mediation was 'rot' What I did say was that a board of mediators going into Mexico at the present time would have as much chancechance as a board of arbitrators In the midst of the strike conditions that prevailed in West Virginia some months ago. I am not to be placed in the attitude of being a mere press agent for the Huerta administration in Mexico." All Were Distorted. ' ' Mr. Wilson added that he believed every statement he made in New York was distorted and exaggerated. He eaid he never exceeded diplomatic propriety in any of his expressions. The conference between Secretary of State Bryan and Ambassador Wilson continued for forty-five minutes. It will be resumed at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Bryan was forced to suspend the interview at 11 o'clock to keep an engagement with the foreign relations committee of the senate to discuss the proposed Nicaragua treaty and the Mexican situation. Secretary Bryan stated that Ambassador Wilson would not see President Wilson before Monday. He declined to discuss the interview with the ambassador. Praise for Huerta. 1 The ambassador said the Huerta government was "strong and . verile," and that if recognized by the United States, it could establish peace. He denied, however, that he ever said he favored recognition by this country. "I am not here to advise the president on any course," he added. "I am here merely to make a first hand report on conditions in Mexica and to tell what I have done in these turbulent times. Personally, I never recognized the Huerta government. I attended his reception, but that was not recognizing him. I was merely, recognizing the de facto government that existed. When I sent telegrams to our counsels urging them to support President Huerta, I was not recognizing him. I was saving human lives." Ambassador Wilson says he has prepared a "perfectly definite, complete policy, outlined in memorandum form from which the United States should pursue in Mexican affairs." He was silent, however, concerning this policy. The ambassador indicated his displeasure at the sending to Mexico a special representative by the president and secretary of state. JERRY HAD -HARROWING EXPERIENCE t "Jerry," the pet mouse catcher of the employes of the local power station of the street railway and interttrban companies, sacrificed a number of his nine lives in order to go through his latest harrowing experience and live to tell the tale to his feline (friends and acquaintances. A couple of days ago Jerry, who has jllved In the power building for months, and should have known better, approached too closely the counter-sunken flywheel that was revolving at the ;rate of six hundred revolutions a minlute. Then Jerry Traveled. j Whiz-z-z-meouz-ouz-z-x was the resulting noise from the gigantic wheel during the sixty revolutions it made in .the next ten seconds. And then a gray streak shot through the air and landed in a heap over at the end of the room. With tears streaming down his oilstreaked face, one of the engineers seized a shovel and prepared to administer the last sad rites for Jerry. iAs he approached the heap that had leen Jerry, he was shocked and astounded to see It quiver, rise, resume the shape of a cat and begin with tongue and cushioned paw, Albert with sheepish mien, to eliminate the 'dust and grime from its fur coat and restore its Maltese color. By gum," the engineer remarked, s he returned to his post. "I forgot kabout those nine lives. I wonder how jfannr of 'em he lost that, timT"

Health Officer Takes Stand Against Opinion of German Authority Dr. Davis Passed Kissing Age. "Kissing, instead of being harmful, is highly beneficial in more ways than one.
