WASHINGTON. Aug. 23,-Sugscstions
fcaVe been made to the Washington eov
ernraent -which. Indicate a tendency on
the part of tho Huerta officials to delay
the issue. Relatlvo to the published re
port In Mexico City that Emlllo ltabasa
-would ho aent to Washington by Hubrtu
or. a confidential mission. It Is Known
that Huerta has under consideration a
plan to send an envoy to the United
Btates to talk unofficially with President
Wilson, just as Mr, Und did wlti Hu
erta. It Is believed, however, that Fred
crlco Oamboa, minister ot foreign rela
tions, would be the man.
The United Btates has Informed Hu
erta that unless tho envoy brought a
favorable answer to tho Amoiican note
his mission would be fruitless. No envoy
In now expected, but the results of for
eign pressure are oxpectnd to brlns about
important! developments within a few
days.
That the American government will not
yield from its position that Huerta must
be eliminated as a factor In the situation
Is likely to be made plain to tho Mexican
City administration before Oamboa
comes, If he does, "bo that his mWttlon
would constitute a supplementary yro.
cediiro to brlns about such an under
standing.' Mar Be Kffort to Delay.
In many quarters, however, the sending
lot an envoy to talk with President Wil
son' Is regarded as an effort to delay the
plans, of the American government. Some
thing definite, however, is being awaited
by 'the United States, and It is unlikely
that this government will wait beyond

British Women Have
a Novel Grievance
Against Government
LONDON, Aug, 23. The women of the
British. Islands 'have a new novel griev
ance It Is Incidental, to the workings
of the Lloyd George Insurance scheme
which, among other things, gives CO
shillings to every Insured woman on
.childbirth. Now the question Is shall the
woman or her husband collect this
money?
About the time the law was to go Into
effect this paternal government plastered
the country with posters of the size and
general appearance of those the circus
advance agents paste upon farmers barns,
bearing a picture of a crowd of cheerful
looking women all holding fat babies in
their arms. The purpose was to call
attention to this maternity benefit of
17.60.
The husbands of the mothers now claim
that the money should be handed to
them, and thus far they have been
prompt In collecting it whenever a house
hold has been blessed with offspring.
.Many of them have been equally prompt
about disbursing It, and that has caused
the trouble. One man Is said to havo
used this windfall to elope with another
woman, and cases of the head of the
family treating himself to a spree have
not been rare. '
questions have been asked in the House
of Commons with the object of having a
rule adopted by which this maternity
benefit will, be paid only to the mothers,
and some of the women's societies have
taken up the matter and doubtless they
will gain their point

Quits Beer and Wine,
and Uses SoftDrinks
BERLIN, Aug. 23. Emperor William Is
reported to have Joined the ranks, of tee
totalers. It Is known that during bis re
cent northern cruise the emperor aban
doned the use ot all alcoholic beverages
and It la understood that ho permanently
has foresworn even beer and wines. As
a substitute he has. token to lemonade,
with a dash of orango juice.
In imperial clrcloa it has long been
known that emperor William was greatly
Impressed with statistical study of the
effects of alcohol,' ranging from crlmo
to Impairing man's working efficiency.
He often expressed the opinion to mem
bers of his court that Immoderate drink
ing was one of the greatest factors in
retarding' the development of nations,
and while he was swearing In naval re
cruits at WUhelmshavcn recently,, ho took
occasion to deliver & lecture on temper
ance. He also recently told army officers
that he would be well pleased if toasts
to his health were drunk In water.
The emperor has not forced his opinion
on his friends, however, and his own
stand has received little publicity, per
haps for the same reason that the min
ister of education of a south German
state once opposed the establishment of
a Good Templar lodge, on the ground
that It threatened one of tho most im

Weather is. Too Cool
for Tourists in the
Alps of Switzerland
PARIS, Aug. a.-There are at present
more waiters than guests in the, Swiss
hotels situated at high altitudes, as tho
result of the continuous cold and rain
during July. Tho hotels In the valleys,
however, aro crowded with tourists, who
have, been waiting for better weather to
go up Into the mountains.
The first part of the summer season
has been a complete failure and It la es
timated that hotel proprietors, railroads
and storekeepers have lost over $1,250,000.
Climbing In the hlghor Alps has been too
dangerous this season, and Lake Con
stance has overflowed In soveral parts,
flooding a number of villages and towns.
As a result the tourist travel has been
unusually light The weather now, how
ever, shows signs of Improving and vis
itors probably soon will begin to flock
to the higher levels, but it is too late
to prevent the season of 1313 from being
one of the worst In many years.

tee on resolutions of the meeting of
honkers to discuss a currency bill resumed
Its work today there was little prospect
that It would be able to report Its find
ings until afternoon. It was said that the
committee had agreed to suggsst certain
amendments to the Glass-Owen bill, as
follows;
L Eliminate the comptroller ot the cur
rency and the secretary of agriculture
from tho federal reserve board and fix
ing the personal of the board to seven
members, composed of the secretary of
the treasury, three members appointed
by the president and three members to
be chosen by the bonkers.
2. Removing the management of federal
reserve banks from politics by limiting
the powers of the federal agent or chair
man of the board and clothing the
bankers advisory board with a veto
power.
S. Making membership of national
banks In the federU reserve banks vol
untary Instead of compulwory,
1 Limiting the number of central fed
eral reserve banks to five. Instead of
twelve, as provided In the bill.
It Is regarded as probable that a com
