Washington, D. C. Aug. 18.—
The Huerta goverment’s rejec
tion of the suggestion made by
the United States for a peaceful
solution of the' Mexican revolu
tion reached Washingt - n late to
day. President Wfison^Seeretary
Bryan and Counsellor John Bas
sett Moore, of the State Depart
ment, discussed for nearly two
hours the dispatches of John
Lind, personal representative of
President Wilson in Mexico, de
scribing the attitude of the Hu-
rela officials.
The President and his advisers
were plainly disappointed at the
turn of events, but .announced
that the American government
would have nothing to say to
night, Instead, the American
communication, appealing for a
suspension of hostilities and a
consitutional election together
with the emphatic statem<nt
that under no circumstances
could the United States recognize
the Hureta regime because it was
set up by irregular force instead
of constitutional order, will be
made public to-morrow. In view
of the rejection of the sugges
tions contained in the communi
cation . presented bv Mr. Lind,
its publication to-morrow wf
constitute a reiteration before
the world of President Wilson’s
ideas as to constitutional govern
ment in Latin-America.
Mr. Walter Wight returned
Tuesday morning from Atlanta
where he went on business.

THE MOSQUITO PEST
ATTEMPTED GRIME
IN GRADY COUNTY
ust The Thing For The
Skin These Wintry Days.
A soothing, penetrating cream
that heals and softens the skin,
Dr. A. H. Doty, formerly
health officer of the port of New
York, whose fifteen years’ war
against the buzzing pests ismore
or less well known, believes that
a continued warfare, regulated
by state or govermeht officials
and energetically pushed, would
eventually rid the country of the
rposquito. And in this belief he
is not alone.
Accordipgc^o Dr. Doty, the
mosquito pesron Staten Island,
along the Long Island shores and
the New Eirglind lowlands, is 80,
per cent less in number than it
was a few years ago. Just how
he took his census is not disclos
ed, but he seems to speak with
authority. Malaria bred by one
variety of mosquito, has almost-
disappeared in certain marshy
districts, because, as Dr. Doty
says the marshes have nearly all
been drained. In many cases
petroleum has been used effec
tively in the New Jersey marshes,
but drainage has been the chief
aid toward extermination, and
this process he urges on the
country at large.
The diminishing swarms of the
singing and stinging pests are ap
parent elsewhere than in the
East. In New Orleans, as we
are told by the Daily States, of
that city,- this year there is a
perceptible dwindling in themos-

cisterns or to the draining of
nearby swamps' and marshes, it
is not easy to say. But it is cer
tain that the evening hours of
relaxation on the front porch are
more comfortable now then they
have been for many years.
Locally speaking, we can also
report most, gratifying progress
in diminishing the mosquito pest.

Sunday night about 8 o’clock
an attempted crime occurred
eight miles north of Cairo. About
eight o’clock a young girl, age
15, went out on the porch to get
a drink of water, the porch to
get a drink of water, the porch
being latticed up to the water
shelf. While she was drinking:
the water a 1 negro, who was in
hiding near the water shelf,
grabbed at. her. She jumped
back out of the negro’s reach and
called to her mother who, with
her little boy, came to her daugh
ter’s assistance. Seeing assist
ance. Seeing assistance coming,,
the negro ran off through the
woods.
The alarm was immediately-
given and a messenger was sent
to the county convict camp, sta
tioned nearby, for the dogs and
to telephone' for the sheriff. The
messenger got the dogs, but by
the time he got back to the
house so many people had been
there that the dogs could not
take up the track. The sheriff
soon arrived. Feeling is running
very high near where the at
tempted crime occurred and par
