WASHINGTON, July lS.-Presldcnt Wll
son today, after an early conference with
Secretary Bryan over tho latest aspects
of the Mexican situation presented by
the Inquiries of foreign powers as to the
attitude of the United States, ordered
Ambassador Henry Lano Wilson at Mex
ico City to proceed to Washington imme
diately for a conference.
Ambassador Wilson will hurry north
on cither the battleship Michigan -or
Louisiana from Vera Cruz If any delay
would be entailed by waiting for a com
mercial steamer. Officials here believe
.that the almost total Interruption of rail
road traffic -between Mexico and the
aTnlled States will force tho ambassador
to make his trip by water. He Is not
expected here before July 23 at the earli
est. Iniinrtnnt Announcement Co miner.
It Is believed In official and diplomatic
circles that nn Important announcement
or the attitude of tho United States In
the pending, situation will follow the am
bassador's conference with tho president
and Secretary Bryan. The president's
action today, following closely the unoffi
cial announcement that some of tho
foreign powers,, which, already have re
cognized the Huerta government were
pressing for some Indication of thts gov
ernment's attitude toward the continued
disorders' In Mexico, leads to that belief.
Secretary Bryan positively declined to
add v, any Information to his brief an
nouncement of Ambassador Wilson's call
to Washington.
However, it is assumed that the admin
istration desires to learn from tho am
bassador what Influences actuated tho
foreign diplomatic representatives n
Mexico when they jointly agreed j0
address their governments with what
- amounted, to- a formal complaint against
TfWadw6flhq. United States In It.
relations with the Huerta regime.
i Mujr ChanRe Attitude,
President Wilson has kept an open
'mind on the subject and is thought to
feel himself' bound to adhere to the policv
he announced early in his administration
of lending moral encouragement only to
such governments In Latin America aa
were founded on constitutional law and
practice. It Is understood that he Is
ready to give due weight to any repre
sentations Ambassador Wilson may care
,o make.
The president has had the benefit .of
private reports from several of his per
sonal friends who have traveled In Mex
ico recently, but those were unofficial
and not sufficient to form the basis of
formal attitude If there were to be any
change In policy.
Secretary Bryan was asked if the com
ing of Ambassador Wilson to Washington
would change his projected lecture tour.
Ho replied:
"The newspapers might have assumed
that' my lecture dates would not Interfere
with "business, Instead of assuming that
they would. All my lecture dates were
made subject to cancellation."
Senator Fall has informally notified
the foreign relations committee that he
intends to ask. the senate to' dlschargo it
from further consideration of his bill to
repeal the neutrality statute of 1912, under
which tho Huerta government npw Is
importing munitions of war. while they
are dented to the constitutionalists. Ho
will ask the senate to pass It.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 16. Advices that
foreign governments were bringing pres
sure to bear at Washington to Induce
the United States to interfere in Mexico
created considerable apprehension among

sue a statement that the rebels through

The constitutionalists' representatives
on this side of the boundary said that
their greatest desire was to prevent

Parties to Divorce
Suit Are to Be Held
on Fraud Charge
CHICAGO, July 16.-Dcclartng that the
divorce of William Guggenheim, the mil
lionaire mining man, from Grace Brown
Guggenheim Wahl In 1901 was obtained
by fraud, collusion and criminal con
spiracy, Judges Winds, Heard and Bald
win, sitting en banc, today Instructed
State's Attorney Hoyne, to proceed In
criminal action against the alleged par
ties to the fraud.
"Residents, of Illinois cannot be prose
cuted, because the statute of limitations
precludes action." said Assistant State's
Attorney Raber, "but we can proceed
against the principals to the suit, who
are nonresidents and --therefore cannot
profit by the statutefof limitations."
Mrs. Guggenhelm-Wahl, seeking in va
rious suits to have the divorce declared
Invalid because In obtaining It she swore
falsely that she was a resident of Illi
nois, testified that she acted on advlco
of counsellor her husband.
The jud es today denied a motion made
by State's Attorney Hoy no as a friend of
the court to expunge the record of the
divorce, declaring that the4matter should
be token before the appellate- court,
-which has thequtstlons involved under
consideration.
Virginia Girl Fined
for Wearing Slashed
Skirt on the'Streets
RICHMOND. Va., July 16.-Blossom
Browning paid a 26 fine in Judge Crutch-
fleld s 'court here today for wcarlnc a
silt skirt and declared she intended to
go to New York at once, "where people
are not prudish." She waB charged wth
Indecent exposure,. The skirt, slit knee
high, and held by tho police as evidence,
was restored to Miss Browning on her
promise to sew up tho slash or not to
appear again In the streets of Richmond
without a petticoat.
Mlss Browning's lawyer argued that
the sale of the skirt by a licensed de
partment store permitted her to wear It,
juage unitchfleld replied that a city
license for the sale of fire arms did not
authorize murder.
The Justice after an Inspection of tho
offending skirt 'blushlngly fined the de
fendant who paid with the retort that
"Richmond was a most illiberal city."
Lawyers Do Not
Like Work on Jury
-
NEW YORK. July 16. Twelve New
York lawyers have discovered how It
feels to be jurors. Sitting In the case of
Max Oabel, a theatrical manager, against
Mrs, Ida Gabel, an actress performing In
Jewish theaters, the lawyers decided after
three hours' deliberation yesterday that
Gabel was entitled to a divorce. It was
the first time In the history of the local
courts that lawyers had served In the
box. It was at Supreme Court Justice
Goff's , suggestion that they were drawn
into the case and for the sake of novelty
they waived their privileges and agreed
to serve.
Considerable amusement was caused in
court. Most of the lawyer-jurors took a
haid In the cross examination of the wit
nesses and one attorney became so In
terested that ho forgot himself and said:
"I object." After being locked up In
a stuffy Jury room for three hours and
having to go without their supper, the
lawyers also came to the verdict of
"never"- again on the question of serv
ing as jurors.

WASHINGTON, July 1C-A fund of
JMO.000 to 1700,000 a year, raised by the.
National Council for Industrial Defense
an adjunct of tho National Association of
Manufacturers for opposing legislation
that the manufacturers did not favor was
described to tho senate lobby committee
today by Martin M. Mulholl. Mulholl tes
tified he had no personal knowledge oil
tho existence of such a fund, but declared
a collector for the organization hod re
cently ffh'on those figures to the New
Yorl&- World.
"I often have thought and have sug
gested," said Mulhall. "that the council
ought to bo Investigated by tho Postoffice
department. It it wore Investigated, X
feet' that the gentlemen who run it wilt
havo a liard tlmo accounting for the
money collected,"
Tho committee did not question Mul
hall further on the subject. '
Mulholl swore that money had been
paid to him from tho fund for political
purposes, but did not explain What tho
purposes wero.
Wanted to Control 4Itoird.
Mulhall brought the story of his lobby
ing activities for tho National Associa
tion of Manufacturers up to IMS before
tho senate committee today and testified
about tho work of tho association In pro
moting a tariff commission.
"The association wanted Miles and
Schwedtman on It and wanted to con
trol it themselves," Mulhall said. He did
not explain who Miles was. Schwedtman
was secretary to President Van Clevo of
the association.
James Emery, counsel for the manu
facturers, wrote Mulhall on January 16,
