REPRESENTATIVE OF PRESIDENT WILSON PERSONA ill GRATA

Bryart Admits Mexico Has So t Inf jrmed the Department of State. HE MAY BE DEPORTED As An Undesirable Alien, Is Huerta's Threat a Crisis Feared. (National Newa Association) WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. After a Conference with the president, Secretary Bryan today announced that the statement sent to the American embassy at Mexico City from the Mexican Foreign office that special Representative Linn would be persona non grata to the Mexican government unless he brought the proper credentials with him, had been received at the State department today and that now the president has It under consideration. At the request of the state department, the battleship Michigan was tcjday ordered moved from Vera Cruz to ' Ciudad Del Carmen, Mexico. It was .feared that the arrival of the battle ! ship New Hampshire at Vera Cruz ; today might give rise to a report that !the United States was preparing for active intervention and the battleship Michigan therefore was moved further down the coast to remain for further orders. Waiting for Next Move. Pending the arrival in Mexico John C. Lind, this government will take no action with respect to the defi issued by the Mexican foreign office, threatening to deport Mr. Lind 08 an undersirable alien. Secretary Bryan and other government officials say that the United States will wait until it is seen whether the Mexican 'government intends to carry out its threat. If Mr. Lind makes good connections he should arrive tomorrow in time for a conference with Huerta tomorrow afternoon. That a diplomatic crisis Is feared is acknowledged in official circles here, but hope is strong that a peaceful solution ultimately will be brought about. It is believed the Mexican president will be forced to confer with President Wilson's representative if only to discover the nature of the communication he bears. The contents of Mr. Lind's message is unknown here to anyone save the president and Secretary Bryan. 1 CALLED THE BLUFF. ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The administration today decided to ignore entirely the note sent by President Huerta to 'the ' American government and to direct special Envoy Lind to proceed to Mexico City without delay on his arrival at Vera Cruz unless he be held back by armed force. ' "The president declines to be bluffed," stated a prominent government official today. This offsets a rumor In circulation that Mr. Lind would l-hefd at Vera Cruz oifurther insfrjions. SHOW RESENTMENT. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. An official statement given out by the Mexican embassy here this afternoon, said that the Mexican government resents the presence in Mexico of special envoys of the American government and that the Mexican government has taken the opportunity presented in the coming of Mr. Lind to exercise this resentment. Mexico regards the character of the Investigation carried on by William Bayard Hale, R. S. Delzalle and others as xtremely offensive and believes that the unfriendly information that they conveyed to Washington is responsible for the present attitude of the American government. HE DENIES WATSON WAS EVER EMPLOYED BY MANUFACTURERS (Palladium Special) Washington, Aug. s-when the Senate lobby investigating committee met today, Senator Cummins inquired or james a. ornery, cnier lobbyist for j tne is. a. m. about the formation of the national Tariff Commission association in 1909. Emery explained that It . was the outgrowth of sentiment expressed by members of the N. A. M. and was organized by James W. Van Cleaves. Members contributed money to push their propaganda. .They were opposed to the Beveridge Tariff Commission bill. Senator Nelson asked Mr. Emery "whether James E. Watson was em ployed by the N. A. M. or the National j Council of Industrial Defense. "Neither." replied Mr. Emery. "He !Was employed by the tariff commission association." The N. A. M. contributed to the National Tariff association but did not directly employ Mr. Watson, the jwitness declared. Mr. Emery said that Henry Reisenberg. of Indianapolis, a close friend pf Mr. Beveridge, started the agitation for a tariff commission before he N. A. M. took It uo. .

COURT HOUSE HAS E When Will An Obdurate Girl Fill Out Long Waiting Marriage License? A young man dropped into the county clerk'sXoffice over a year ago and filed an application for a marriage license, lie was not accompanied by the younV woman who was to be the other party to the contract, but told Clerk lMatthews that she would be in within a few days to fill e application. I ihln nll'li tip ili i li filed the papers away until the y4un!i iwwaaji should come. The monms slipped the obdurate missl still failed to put in an appearance. lAbout four months later Clerk Matthews called the young man on the telephone and reminded him that he had once filed an application for a marriage license, and all that was lacking was for the young lady to come around and fulfill her part of the obligation, as provided by law. Young Man Thanked Clerk, The young man thanked the clerk, told him that he had not .forgotten the matter, and that the young woman would apear in due time. Again the time passed rapidly, but without bringing a solution to the mystery which all the young women at the court house are so interested in. A few days ago Clerk Matthews thought it his duty to remind the young man, whose name Matthews refuses to reveal, that the license was still waiting for him. Again he received the reply that everything was all right and that the "lady would do her part at the right time." So far she has not appeared. County officials are asking themselves all kinds of questions. Will the young man eventually win her? Did the young man have her consent when he applied for the license? Did she break her promise after letting affairs reach a crisis? Why is she keeping him waiting? Will he never become discouraged? What does she look like? Is she a blonde or a brunette Is there another man in the case? Are they waiting until they can get the home furnished? Is he sending his brothers or sisters through college? Or what? In short the county officials are watching developments with the same breathless interest that the reader follows the plot of a novel. Their only regret is that they can not turn to the last chapter and see how It is going to end. V WAS GIVEN IN HIB DIVORCE OWN COURT (National ews Assoclfttla NVILLE, llllliiiilfciiii'llf(TiTii I 8.

TRA UM'S RESIGN A TION MA Y BE ACCEPTED BY CHURCH

First Church Members Plan; For Reuniting of First! Christian and Central Christian Churches. In an effort to unite the First Christian church and the Central Christian """Tft, likely that the Rev. S. W. Traum7T!TrsaXthe First church. I may again tender hI?"ienation. Although nothing definiu''uld be learnea in regara to the reportemo- j uon or me first i nristian church pa? tor. It was ascertained that at the! meeting of the board of trustees a member suggested that the resigna-! tion of the Rev. Mr. Traum would be! acceptable. It is planned to bring about better feeling with the Central church, which was formed by old members of the First church, and if possible to amalgamate both churches. Long Standing Trouble. Differences existing between the members of both churches are of long standing, it is said. During the first part of this year the Character Builders' association, a class organization OFFERS SERVICES TO BUILD AXWDRKHOUSE Joe Jones Sa Would Like to H ave Distrit Workhouse Here.

Jones pleaded not guilty, as he has done in the fifteen times previous when he has been arrested for intoxication. He always enters this plea, and Mayor Zimmerman, knowing this, accept it as a plea of guilty. He explained to the court that he disliked "loafing around at the county jail" and said he would rather be sent to a workhouse. "If they'll build a workhouse, Judge," said Jones "I'll donate two iks of good hard labor to help It along." Jones has done most of the carpenter work at the court house while he was there in default of paying fines for intoxication. Mayor Zimmerman said he would "take a chance on Joe" and let him pay his fine on the "installment plan." Failure to make regular payments will cost Jones 140 days in jail, the mayor said.

The law waa declared unconstitutional upon the grounds o class legislation In that it jd not pehpit women to be likewise committed to these institutions. Fol lowing the decision of the Supreme Court the recent legislature amended the law so that It now meets the court requirements, but the men sent away from the prison yesterday were committed under the old law and consequently could not be held. Dunlap was sent to Michigan City on September 6. 1910. When asked it he were guilty at his hearing he replied "Yes, I shot him. Judge I dont care if they hang me; I want to prove what kind of people those are." He referred to Dr. Gable as his imaginary enemy.

A conference of the attorneys and the court was held In which It was decided to waive right for a Jury trial In the case, but instead to submit It to Judge Fox. Dunlap told the court and his attorneys that he did not want to use insanity for his defense. The court then found Dunlap Insane. Future With Judge. ( As Dunlap'a case now stands. It Is' up to Judge Fox to decide his future.

DEFENSE IS GIVEN STIFF BLOW1 Case Cannot the Court Says. fr(National New Association) SAN FRANCISCP. Aug, S. The fourth day of the trial of Maury L Diggs, former stata architect who Is charged with whita' slavery, began today with the defease laboring under a decided handicap. The first witnesses were on hand ready to testify as to the trip to Reno on which Diggs and Drew Caminettl, son of the commissioner-general of Immigration are charged with taking Martha Warrington and Lola Norrls for immoral purposes. Federal Judge Van Fleet strengthened the case of the prosecution by ruling that the characters and reputations of the two girls would have no bearing on the case and that the state need only prove that Diggs and Caminettl took the girls from one state to another for Immoral purposes. The defense attorneys were depending upon more than a score of witnesses to testify that the two girls were of bad character. " Government's Charge. Theodore Roche, special prosecutor for the government in his address to the Jury when it was completed after three days examination of venlrmen said the government would prove the following: That the two girls, 20 and 19 years old respecUrely, were frightened into leaving Sacramento for Reno by Diggs and Caminettl, both of whom were married men with children lest a scandal explode in Sacramento and the girls, be criminally prosecuted. farriage had been promised after the two men had divorced their wiTes. The four traveled to Reno as married couples. They registered at a hotel In Reno as married on March 11, 1913. Diggs rented a four-room bungalow, paying a month's rent in advance. The four lived in the bungalow three days before they were arrested. . - v - - -
