MEXICO CITY. July 29.—Spurred
by President Wilson's demand for th<
punishment of th'- men who shot
United States Immigration Agent
Charles B. Dixon at Juarez, and the
release of two other American pris
oners, President Huerta to-day or
dered an investigation of the case
President Wilson's peremptory de
mand, presented to the Huerta Gov
ernment by Nelson O’ShaAhnessy,
American Charge d'Affaires. demand
ed the immediate courtmartial and
punishment of the Federal officers
who shot Dixon, and the immediate
release of McDonald and Blssell,
United States citizens, who were con
demned to de&th by Pasqual Orozco.
Huerta promised the release of the
two prisoners and the punishment of
those who shot Dixon. Dixon is now
undergoing treatment in an El Paso
hospital.
After O'Shaughnessy had left the
President. Huerta called in his
Foreign Minister and ordered him to
comply with the demands of Presi
dent Wilson. A most energetic cam
paign is now in progress at Juarez,
according to word received to-day.
American residents are delighted'
with the Arm stand taken by Presi
dent Wilson and express the belief
that If such a step had been taken
long ago the present revolution would
not have been started and Mexico
would have been .completely pacified.
Aviator’s Bomb Sinks
Mexican Ship; Others Flee.
NOGALES, ARIZ., July 29.—Mexi-
can Federal gunboats being used in
the shelling of Guavmas withdrew

before he struck the gunboat and
sent her to the bottom of the harbor.
President Thinks
Mediation Is Solution.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-No Cabi
net meeting was held to-day. This
gave President Wilson time to study
the reports and recommendations on
the Mexican situation submitted to
hirn by Ambassador Henry Lane Wil
son.
The President, it was said at the
White House to-day. believes media
tion in form is the logical solu
tion of the Mexican tangle.
Notwithstanding expert opinion that
mediation should not be considered
and the views of Ambassador Wilson,
who yesterday informed him that in
his opinion conciliation of this kind
should not be attempted, the Presi
dent is determined, it in said, to try
mediation flrst, either through a con
ciliating commission or by direct ap
peal to the warrng factions in Mexico
Foreigners in Mexico City
Await Next Move in Fear.
MEXICO CITY, July 29—Thai
Americans and other foreigners are ir.
danger if the United States fails to
recognize the Huerta administration
in Mexico, is the opinion prevailing
here. While high Government officials
decline to discuss the impending
crisis. Minister of Gubernacion Ur-
rutia, who is generally regarded as
the mouthpiece of the Huerta Gov
ernment, has been predicting that
President Wilson will recognize the
administration by to-morrow.
It is believed the conflicting views
of Ambassador Wilson and the Presi
dent presage the announcement of the
plan for mediation by the United
States. The plan will not be accepted
bv Huerta, according to .Government
officials, as interference by the United
States is unwelcome.
Disquieting rumors are being circu
lated freely. All foreigners are anx
iously awaiting the flrst move by
President Wilson.
Envoy Called Before
Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, July 29—Ambas
sador Wilson will appear before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Wednesday morning at 10:30 o’clock,
to discuss with that body the situa
tion in Mexico.
At a meeting to-day the committee
authorized Chairman Bacon to request
the State Department to direct the
Ambassador to appear before the
committee.

♦ ■
P. O. Box 378. El Paso. Texas —“My
trouble began December. 1911. It com
menced on me by causing a scurf-llke skin
and my toe joints, finger joints and lips
commenced to crack and split open. My
finger cracks would bleed all day long, the
cracks were very deep and my thumbs
seemed to be cracked to the bone. My
hands were so bad that I had to sleep with
gloves on. The cracks in my Ups would
bleed often during the day and I used to
put adhesive piaster across them to try
to keep them closed. My toes would bleed
and I would find blood in my socks when
the day’s work was done. The skin around
the cracks was red and inflamed. I wore
shoes one size too large on account of my
feet being so sore I used to become frantic
with pain at times. My hands and feet
used to smart.
”1 suffered agony for four months. I saw
the advertisement of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and as a last resort I answered
and got samples immediately. Aftor trying
them one night the next morning I found
relief. 1 went to town and got some Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment. From the time I
commenced with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment until completely cured was just
nineteen days. ' (Signed) Jack Harrison.

There Is Something Compelling
About the New Suits
A charm that is irresistible in their rich, new color tones, their
beautiful materials—the inimitable smartness of line and fashion.
Everyone Is Talking About Them
and we have never before at this season had so many early Fall Suits go
out of the house—which is further proof of their appealing style.
<<
Good-Bye Fluffy Ruffles”
is the cry as women see themselves reflected in the tall mirrors and
catch the true becomingness and real elegance in these smart suits and
if they are going away or if staying at home the question of certain ap
parel needs is answered in a suit.
The materials are especially pleasing—all, or nearly all, are rough
weaves, basket cloths, eponges, brocade effects; also many combined fab
rics are used.
For instance: ' J
An elegant Suit of rich coloring and material has a coat of matelasse in bur
gundy color with skirt of plaid storm serge in burgundy and blue. Long cutaway
coat, draped skirt, button-trimmed. This suit is only $25.
The coats are much longer than last season, and are in cutaway
style; some taper to a decided point in back.
Among the leading shades are: Browns—from light, leather tones
through to very rich mahogany. Red tones are good, too—very dark,
shading into wines and mulberry. Blues, of course, are in favor and
many new shades are shown. t
t
From $15 to $65
—the prices run; and there are suits for all tastes, all occasions, from
the perfectly plain tailored model—to the very elegant, fur-trimmed,
two-piece costume.
We want you to see the display here now—for whether you wish
to buy a suit or not, at present, you will be interested in this show of
coming fashions.
