Qneatlon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Whlla Hu
crta's rejection of the American proposal
was a disappointment, officials were en
couraged by advices from Llnd that he
was conferring further with Huerta on
the suggestion. Discussion of alternative
measures was held in abeyance. The
proposal to grant exportatlons of arms
to tho constitutionalists on an equality
with Huerta cameto the front again.
Such was the situation following a
series of tclegramB from the embassy
announcing the rejection of the Acmerl
can proposal and then an invitation
from Huerta, for further conferenca with
Llnd.
The message from Und described as
very cordial his conference with Hdsrta
'ftt the tatter's suggestion. Include 1 in
tho samo message, but under date of
August 16, was the first part of tha text
of the note which constitutes the Huorta
reply to the American .proposal. Its pre-,
Uminary sections gave no hint of ulti
mate rejection, but were phrased in cour
teous terms. It set forth historically
the establishing of unofficial relations,
conversations with Foreign Minister Gam
boa and the first conference between
Huerta and Llnd. In this note Huerta
referred to Llnd as a well Informed
man; animated by slncerest motives to
bring about a satisfactory solution of
the unfortunlty tension existing between
thewo nations.
The communications after narrating the
developments that led up to the presenta
tion of tho American note ends abruptly
with tho notation that the remainder
would bo forwarded laer.
There was a tense feeling In official
circles and a disposition to Inquire fur
ther Into the origin of the statement
by the minister of the interior. Senor
TJrrutla, demanding recognition' for tlfe
3Iu6rta government under penalty of
severing relations between tho two coun
tries.
president Wilson, though at first op
posed to the removal of the embargo
on arms, was said today to be open
minded. A number of senators have ln
, formed him, however, that to remove the
embargo was the only alternative
through which the overthrow of Huerta
could be accomplished without direct In
terference, of the United States.
llryan Hears from. Mexico.
Charge O'Shaughnessy cabled Becetary
Bryan from Mexico City today that Presi
dent Huerta, through Foreign Minister
Glmboa, emphatically denied there was
"any foundation whatever" for the state
ment that Huerta had Issued an ulti
matum to the United States demanding
recognition, with the alternative of hand
ing Mr. O'Shaughnessy his passports.
A dispatch from John Llnd Informed
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
that he had been In conference with Pro
visional President Huerta at an early
hour today. He characterized his recep
tion and conference with Huerta as cor
dial. Last night's dispatches, attributing the
announcement by Minister Urrutla of an
ultimatum by Huorta, stirred offllcal cir
cles here deeply.
Secretary Bryan, an early riser, read
the morning papers and hurried down to
his office, where he found the reassuring
cable . from Charge O'Shaughnessy and
then went to the White House to confer
with' President Wilson. While there the
message came from Llnd telling of the
conference with Huerta.

When the polls opened yesterday, twenty-five
.of Election Commissioner Moor
Head's clerks and Judges failed to report
for duty and It was necessary to fill
their places hurriedly with volunteers.
Owing to Moorhead's redisricting of
tho etty many voters experienced diffi
culty In locating the poling place In their
precinct. The polling places arc widely
scattered and the new boundaries ot
districts have caused much confusion.
Hindrance to Votem.
. Workers at the polls report that Com
missioner Moorhead's inspectors are put
ting every obstacle possible in the way
of voters, enforcing all the restrictions
possible. Several Instances 'were redted
where Mr. Moorhead's Inspector's refused
to permit voters to declare their prefer
ence on-the gas question where the copy
ist had made a mistake In one letter In
the voter's name. Some ot theso were
compelled to visit the court house to get
a certificate before they were permitted
to vote.
Under the new, election commissioner.
paw the chalUwv,pfBs,; voter as'UsedMn
yesterdays ejection is .a icarxui- ana,
wonderful thing. Any voter, whe Is re
ported as "unlawfully registered" Is liable
to chalenge by the election commissioner
or any of his deputies. Then after going
through a prescribed course ot action the
challenged elector can vote anyway.
Many Challenged.
Quite a number of voters were chal
lenged before they could vote at yester
day's election, either by the election com
missioner or his Inspectors, The exped
ience of one naturalized citizen who re
ceived notice that he wax challenged
because he was "under age" Is typical of
them all.
Since he did not have a copy of the
election commissioner law he came to
the office of the commissioner in the
court house tor Information. Ho told one
of the employes there that ho was natur
alized In Duglas county; that his papers
showed his age an 23: that he had voted
at other elections and would like to do so
now.
After having been kept standing about
for- fifteen or twenty minutes . while art
Investigation of his case proceeded his
predicament wan referred to the election
commissioner, and after another wait of
about the same length of time, he was In
formed that he was all right and that all
ho had to do was to go and sign an af
fidavit that n.o was of age and find two
other regularly registered voters who
would sign the affidavits. After 1olng
this, upon returning to his precinct he
was allowed to vote.
"It takes the patience ot Job, the en
durance of a department sto;e clerk and
the obstinacy of a mule to vote these
days." he said after the first half ot en.
deavor, "but I expect to succeed,"
Every challenged voter can cast a bal
lot by presenting evidence that he Is
legally registered In the form of affi
davits of himself and two other registered
voter.

NEBRASKA APPLES IN DEMAND
Fruit Growers' Association Disposes
of Them in Lump.
GET MUCH HIGHER FIGURE
Fifty Per Cent More Will Be Pnld
than Formerly for Crop ot
Three-Fourtha Orchards
of Nebraska.
""Frtmr a Staff "Correspondent.)' '
LINCOLN, Aug. U.-Opeclal.) Ne
braska apples hava once more demon
strated their ability td cope successfully
with those of other states. Secretary
Marshall of the Southeastern Nebraska
Fruit Growers' association has olosed a
contract wth a Chicago nrm which will
take ail of tho apples grown by members
of the association this year.
According to Secretary Marshall, this
will be about three-fourths of the entire
apple' crop and wliu include the best or
chards of the state. The price to bo re
ceived will be about W per cent higher
than any previous year and the apple
will be sent to the Now York and Pitts
burgh markets.
Mr. Williams, who made the deal for
the Chicago firm, says that Nebraska
apples will keep later In the spring than
any other apples ot a like kind grown
In the United States. All along tho Mis
souri river on tho Nebraska aide tho
aoll seems to be peculiarly adapted to
raising an apple which In flavor And
keeping ability exceeds that ot tlio
products ot any other state. It Is for
this reason, according to Mr. Williams,
that tho Nebraska apples are In such
demand and tho reason that eastern
firms are willing to pay tho high price
for the fruit. He has been buying ap
ples for fifteen years and thinks that
Nebraska stands far In the lead as a
producer of apples.
Apple orchards have not been hurt by
the extreme hot weather, according to
Mr. Marshall, where- they have been cul
tivated and sprayed.
Orchards which havo been allowed to
go through tho season with little or no
card will not develop much of n crop;
the apples already are drying up nnd
fklllng from the trees. In the orchards
wh'lch havo been cultivated the ground
seems to have retained tho moisture bet
ter and the fruit on tho trees which hQVe
been sprayed Is as perfect as In a rea
son where the rain has been plentiful.
Another strange condition which exists
In the face of the dry weather li that
fruit trees have put out a new growth
running from eight to fourteen Inches
more than In any previous year.
