Dear. Mr. Jerger: I have Just re
ceived my paper. In which 1 have
notice an account of the trouble
into which I was drawn at Pavo last
Tuesday night.
Its very embarrassing to me, and
especially in my enfeebled condi
tion, to have to correct the newspa
per story concerning the affair. I
have done all that I could to keep
the matter out of the newspapers,
knowing full well as I do, that Its the
exception rather than the rule, that
newspaper, try hard as It may,
cannot get the truth of such a dirty
affair.
I know you have no desire to do
me an Injustice, therefore I feel
sure that you will publish my state
ment which sets forth the facts In
the case, and as you will see, hasn't
the least semblance of the story In
Wednesday’s Issue. ,
The story Is headed, “Disagreement

Minister,” and goes on leaving the
Impression that Carrington and I
were In the drug store; that we had
a dispute, and that he knocked me
through a show-case, cutting me
badly. This account, Mr. Jerger, Is
far from the truth.

TION AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Aug. 23.—Develop
ments in the Mexican situation were
moving swiftly today toward a point
where officials were expected to de
termine whether or not President
Wilson would read his messnge to
Congress Tuesday.
Direct advices from Mexico City,
are to the effect that Provisional
President Huerta wishes to recon
sider his rejection of the American
proposals, before President Wilson
laid bare before the world the ne
gotiations. This news has changed
the situation here somewhat.
President Wilson interrupted work
bn his message long enough’ today
to take a few hours of recreation on
the golf links. This Is his usual
week-end diversion, and he seldom
permits anything to Interfere with
It.

The snake killed was over five feet
