MEXICO CITY, Aug. 17.— Having
taken a first definite step In the ful
fillment of his mission here by getting
President Wilson’s note Into the hands
of the Mexican Government through
the United States Embassy, John
Lind, Special Envoy from the United
States, to-day awaited a reply from
•Ither President Huerta or Foreign
Minister Gamboa. The next move is
to be made by the Mexican Govern
ment. Mr. Lind Is said to have re
ported satisfactory progress.
Rumors prevail here that the Gov
ernment may try to deport Dr. W.
Bayard Hale, special Investigator of
the State Department, because of the
nature of certain Information he is
reported to have sent to Washing
ton.
The Mexican press has criticised
Dr. Hale severely on his Mexican mis
sion. One paper went so far as to
accuse him of saying Mexico was to
become a territory under the domin
ion of the United States.
Dr. Hale has been In almost con
stant communication with Mr. Lind
since the latter’s arrival being under
instructions from the State Depart
ment to turn over to Special Envoy
all information In his possession re
lating to Mexican political affairs.
No confirmation could be obtained
©f the rumor that President Huerta
is contemplating resigning in order
to perfect his political organisation
so that he could be sure of election
to the presidency In October.

Jury against A. H. lane. Justice of
the Peace. The Soliictor General has

a pecuniary i. rest. It Is charged
that lane had entered into agree
ments with clients, under which *he
waa to get half of the amount col
lected In addition to his fees.

activities of money lenders, the law
In regard to whom has been a dead

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Solors have
a psychological effect on the morals
of a community, asserts Municipal
Judge Mahoney. He declares that
light colors tend toward godliness and
that dark colors promote crime.
“Brightness leads to right think
ing.” says Judge Mahoney. “Darkness
and uncleanliness lead to crooked
thinking. This Is an axiom as old as
the Bible. I am glad to see so many
white buildings going up In Chicago
They reflect the light and have a
stronger psychological effect on the
population than Is usually imagined.
The smoke nuisance which covers the
building with dark soot Is an aid to
crime."

McDermott, Chicago Congress
man, Accused in Connection
With Loan Shark Legislation.
wAfTHTNOTON, 17.—Kturtwl
by the testimony of T. H McMichael,
former chief page of the House, con
cerning the official conduct of Repre
sentative James T. McDermott, of
Illinois, the House Lobby Investigat
ing Committee has decided, 1t is said,
to make a preliminary report on Mc
Dermott to the House at the earliest
possible opportunity.
This report will be separate from
the committee’s proposed general re
port on the subject of lobbying, and
when It Is presented It will be in
order for any member of the House
to move for McDermott's expulsion.
If such a motion is made. It will be
necessary for the House to vote di
rectly on the question. According to
the rules, a two-thirds vote of the
membership is necessary to expul
sion.
Loan Sharks Raisa Funds.
Whether such action will be taken
depends largely on the testimony of
four pawnbrokers of the District of
Columbia, who now are under sub-
pena by the committee. These pawn
brokers, according to McMichael,
raised a fund to defeat the District
loan shark bill which passed Congress
some time ago.
McMichael testified that McDer
mott made a trip to the Hotel Na
varre. New York City, and there he
says he learned the money, or part of
It. was turned over to McDermott.
McMichael admitted he never saw a
cent of the alle^d fund.
It was learned to-day that mem
bers of the committee believe this
phase of McMichael’s testimony is
the most serious matter they have
yet disclosed and constitutes a direct
accusation of bribery. Future testi
mony, they admitted, might entirely
disprove this.
Searchlight on McDermott.
Acting on this theory, the general
Investigation of lobbies which they
have been conducting was to-day
turned entirely into an investigation
of McDermott’s persoal conduct.
“Did McDermott vote for what the
pawnbrokers wanted?” McMichael
was asked.
“I don’t know how he voted.”
McDermott put about $5,000 into
an airship promotion scheme.
Whether he lost it or not McMichael
did not know, but he knew' that he,
McMichael, lost $500 of his own
money.
“When did McDermott tell you he
got $7,500 from the pawnbrokers In
connection with the loan shark bill?”
“After the loan shark bill became a
law.”
“What did he say?”
“Well, it was like this: I said,
‘Wqll, the bill has passed;’ he said,
‘Well, I got mine;’ I said, ‘How
much did you really get out of it?’
he said, 'About $7,500.’ ”
McMichael said that McDermott
has talked to him several times about
getting $7,500 from the pawnbrokers.
The committee may go into a re
port of a liquor lobby raising cor
ruption funds to defeat the reforms
proposed during the close of the
Cannon regime, w'hlch precipitated
the so-called rules fight.

Analysis Tags on
Fertilizer Required
Failure of a ehiper to affix tax tags to
fertilizer would not vitiate the sale,
while the absence of a tag showing the
analysis would, according to a decision
of the Court of Appeals in the case of
Htills vs Comer.
The Court said: “Under the terms of
the Code a sale of commercial fertilizer
which has not been analyzed is illegal,
and no contract made in pursuance of
such a sale is valid, but a sale of fer
tilizer without tax tags is not necessar
ily illegal.''

and patriots” went on strike for $1
more a day. The “mutineers” desert
ed Commodore Pe^ry. It is their in
tention of joining the Industrial
Workers of the World.
Two hundred faithful remained in
consideration of a 60-cent Increase in
wages, and the centennial started this
afternoon without the deserters.
Difficulties began with the final re
hearsal of the battle scene on the
boats in Lake Michigan. Leaders of
the army of 500 “supers,” recruited
from the unemployed of Chicago,
served notice on Miss Katherine
Brown, author and director of the
battle scene, that they must have $2
a day instead of $1.
Miss Brown sent for “Sig” Hart,

belaying pin wielded by a la’rge and

Dried Cantaloupe Is
California’s Latest
LOS ANCELES, Aug. 17.—With tho
perfection of experiments now going
on, California will give to the world
another luscious dried fruit—the dried
cantaloupe. They will turn into profit
some of the millions of small canta
loupes left in the fields every year.
Thomas D. McCall, of El Centro,
accidentally discovered.the fine qual
ities of the dried article. McCall had
dumped a great heap of cantaloupes
to one side, several breaking open.
These dried and threw out such a
fine aroma that McCall was attracted
and 'tasted them. They were excel-:
lent, and now cantaloupe growers
are drying all of their small melons.
The dried variety is said to have a
much finer flavor than the fresh fruit.
