This simple announcement at the bottom of President Wilson's list of official callers today was the only indication at the white house that the most momentous conference since President Roosevelt maneuvered the Russian-Japanese peace conclave, was due to take place. Secretary of State Bryan, the first caller at the white house today, was closeted with the President for more than an hour while he discussed the details of Ambassador Wilson's report. In discussing the Mexican situation with the "newspaper cabinet" today the president authorized the statement that nothing had happened within the past ten days to make matters better or worse. The president further stated that no future policy with respect to President Huerta or Mexico had been decided upon. The President assurred the correspondents, however, that he had ordered a rigid Investigation of the Dixon shoot at Juarez,' and that the state department will do everything possible to bring the guilty parties to justice.

Y., when sixty of the ringleaders of a three days mutiny, participated in by several convicts of Sing Sing prison, were transferred by special train from Sing Sing to Auburn prison, in a last effort to quell the continual disturbance.

Hyland, Patrolman Remmert was met by Miss Warner at the edge of Brookside park. The girl is said to be a telephone operator working for the Central Union Telephone company at the Woodruff exchange.

Mrs. Knight was charged with public intoxication and sent to the Home for the Friendless I for fifteen days in default of a fine The raid was the result of Edward Lock's attempt to prevent a drunken negro from beating a horse after the negro had just emerged from Knight's joint. The negro was ordered by Lock to stop beating the horse. He refused to do this, and struck Lock with the butt end of a whip, causing a j sever scalp wound and a bruised nose.

Lock agreed to go to the Knight ; shack and buy some liquor. He purchased a half-pint of wuisky, which i he carried to police headquarters. Then he swore out a warrant against j Knight. He said he had no trouble in I procuring the liquor. Yesterday afternoon Patrolmen i Westenberg and Staubach were detailed to search the house, and if posjsible. locate the liquor. They were j unable to do so. because the propriejtor saw them approaching the house jand hid the liquor. Several men 'were standing in the house at the Itime.

Cje Was Investigated. Sergeant Burris heard of the incident and after conferring with the girl in the case reported the matter to the

superintendent. The girl said she did not want the matter to become public because she is going to be married soon. She admitted that the name she gave the police was an assumed one. Remmert was employed here at Gaar-Scott and Company's shops as a machinist. His home here was at th corner of South Fourteenth and E Btreets, where his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

The house is a frame one, consisting of two rooms. It is a square from any other house in the neighborhood. It has been a meeting place for every crook in Richmond. Police Chief Gormon went to the place several weeks ago and ordered Knight to stop selling liquor. Mrs. Knight was arrested and brought to police headquarters two weeks ago for stealing chewing tobacco from a grocery store. She said she would leave Richmond if given an opportunity to do so. She was given the chance to do this, but she failed to do so. Knight said he built the shack himself. There are no windows in the house, and it Is frpquented by only the lowest class of people. Many complaints have been registered against the place by residents of the south end. Although Knight at first denied the charge against him when arraigned in police court this morning, he finally admitted selling whisky to Lock, and was found guilty by the mayor. Mrs. Knight said she was not drunk. She said she took some pills containing morphine, which a physician had given her. Patrolman Rottinghaus said she talked incoherently about what she termed a joy-ride in the patrol wagon. She said the machine was easy riding and thought the wagon was an automobile. Mayor Zimmerman said if she thought the patrol wagon was easy riding she must have been drunk and found her guilty. Both Knight and his wife are well-known police characters.

OLD PAYNE TARIFF LAW WAS DEFENDED BY SEN. TOWHSEND

Michigan Solon Says It Did Not Cause the Political Upheaval. HE ATTACKS WILSON Calls the President the Most Insidious of All the Lobbyists. (Xattoral Now Association) WASHINGTON. July 28 A defense of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill and the conditions which have prevailed in the United States under that law and a vigorous attack upon the Underwood Simmons tariff bill and the manner in which it has been framed, were made by Senator Townsend. of Michigan in the senate today. He charged the democratic party with bad faith to the farmers and charged President Wilson with having been the most insidious lobbyist of them all In the interests of the democratic bill. Says it Is Not Bad Law. "It is said that the Payne tariff bill caused the impending measure. said Senator Townsend. "To a certain extent this Is true, but it was not because the Payne bill was intrinsically a bad bill that a political upheaval occurred; but rather it was partially because politicians said it was a bad bill and a betrayal of Republican pledges. Industrial, moral and intellectual progress was never so great as under the unhampered operations of the Payne law. Senator Townsend deplored the muckraking attacks which have beeir aimed at legitimate business. "The Democratic party Is now la full control and after months of sec ret work the Democratic senate has presented the pending bill. It was conceived In hatred of the American policy of protection and brought forth in the darkness of the secret caucus chamber, under the charge of one who has never had any experience in business of obstetrics." ' Senator Townsend said that both President Wilson and the DemocraUo platform had assured the people that no legitimate business would be injured. He asked what senators would deny that the sugar Industry was a legitimate business, yet It was doomed under the present pending bill. . PREDICTS SUCCESS FOR LOCAL CHURCH On the Brink of Mighty Change Says the Rev. H. L. Haywood. Rev. H. L. Haywood, In his sermon last night on "The Power and Promise of Our Church, predicted for th Universalist church the greatest triumph and success that has ever crowned the efforts of any such organization. "The criterion of success Is not numbers," said Rev. Haywood, "but success came when the group of persons which calls itself a church accomplishes what it set out to do. I do not doubt but that Universallsm will overcome the orthodoxy which rides the shoulders of this community like a nightmare. This movement is as irresistible as the stars and planets. I would rather live a year at this time than a whole lifetime in any other period of the world's history, because we are at the brink of m mighty change the change for which Jesus died and which all prophets have dreamed of for the last two thousand years. He would indeed be foolish who would deny the good that the churches have done, but it is also foolish to think that the churches as now organized can enter into this mighty change, for they are bound to the pas. We are handloose and foot free, and can enter Into this great change. As much as a materia! church means to a pastor, I solemnly swear that I would rather be a pastor of this little flock than in any pulpit in the city, because the future Is ours, and the future holds a mightier change than the past has ever known," GREAT MOOSE ARMY LEAVES WINDY CITY !
