VICTORIANO HUERTA
Resignation of Ambassador to
Mexico is Accepted by
President Wilson.

___ ___
Washington— President Wilson took
the first step in tile policy through
which he proposes to deal with the
Mexican situation when he formally
uecepted the resignation of Ambassa­
dor Henry Lane Wilson, to take effect
October 14, and sent to Mexico as his
personal representative— but not ac­
credited to thw Huerta government—
ex-Governor John Lind, of Minnesota,
a life-long friend of Secretary Bryan.
The understanding is that when a sta­
ble government is established in Mexi­
co Mr. Lind will be named as ambassa­
dor.
It is said the president is observing
with keen interest the efforts of lead­
ing Mexicans to bring about peace and
will offer no suggestions until these
apparently prove futile. That Mr. Lind
will be empowered to explain to all
inquirers the unalterable opposition of
the American government to the rec­
ognition of the Huerta administration
is said to be a factor which may assist
the situation.
P ro tec torate
for
Nicaragua
D rop p e d
Secretary Bryan’s plan for an Amer­
ican protectorate over Nicaragua, pro­
viding for American supervision of
Nicaragua’s finances, independent and
foreign relations, have been shelved
for the time being.
Apparently with the knowledge of
the administration, the senate foreign
relations committee passed a resolu­
tion asking the secretary of state to
submit a new Nicaraguan treaty, omit­
ting the protectorate policy. The com­
pact at the request of the senate com­
mittee is to be limited strictly to the
original negotiations with Nicaragua
by which the United States was to
pay $3,000,000 for an exclusive canal
right across the country, a naval base
site on the Bay of Ronesca, and a
lease to the Corn Islands in the Car­
ibbean Sea.
Opponents of the proposed protec­
torate had made it clear that it would
be impossible to secure ratification of
the Nicaraguan treaty in the present
congress if the so-called protectorate
amendment were included in it. This
sentiment is understood to have in­
duced Secretary Bryan to consent to
Its withdrawal.
Fe d eral C a s h to H e l p M o v e C r o p s
Twenty-five to fifty million dollars
o f government funds will be deposited
In the national banks of the south and
west at once by Secretary McAdoo to
facilitate the movement of crops. Fed­
eral, state and municipal bonds and
prime commercial paper will be ac­
cepted as security for the money, on
which the banks will pay 2 per cent
interest.
The motive of Secretary McAdoo in
announcing this policy is to anticipate
the money stringency in the late sum­
mer and fall, which invariably accom­
panies the marketing and movement
of crops, especially when they are un­
usually large, as the harvest now be­
ginning forecasts.
Representative bankers of 59 large
cities in the agricultural regions of
the south, middle west and Pacific
coast were invited by Secretary Mc­
Adoo to come to Washington to con­
fer with the treasury department re­
garding the distribution of govern­
ment funds to be deposited in the
national banks to facilitate the mar-
keting and movement of the crops.
Among the 59 cities invited to be
represented are Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Portland, Or.,'Seattle, and
Spokane, Wash.
N a tio n a l C ap ital B r e v it ie s
The house resolution calling for an
investigation of the attorney general’s
action in postponing the Diggs-Cumi-
netti white slave case was tabled by
a vote of 93 to 57.
Chairman Flood, of the house for­
eign affairs committee, admitted that
It was by direct request of the presi­
dent that Ambassador Wilson did not
appear before his committee.
The democratic members of the
house banking and currency commit­
tee have planned to settle all difficul­
ties over the currency measure at a
party caucus to be held August 11.
Senator La Follette has Informed

Ueen received to the 2500 sets of ques­

asked to furnish information as to
the probable effect upon their indus­
tries of democratic tariff revision.
The lobby committee completed the
examination of Martin M Mulhall, ex­
lobbyist for the National Association
o f Manufacturers, and the grilling of
that individual will be transferred
early to the house.
Reductions in express rates which
will cost the companies fully $26,000,-

o f their gross revenue, were ordered
by the interstate commerce commis­
sion to becdme effective on October
