Swift Change in the Mexican Situa-
tion Over Night Mediation Plan
Likely to Be Accepted Litid
Remains on Job
Telegram by United Tress.
Meilvo City. Aug 2C Jmn Ltnd's
Plans today were changed when Huerta
ut the last minute Asked for more time
to consider the president's proposal.
Telegram by United rress
Washington Aug 2'!. Peace is near
in Mexico Hucria Is wavering ami
within twenty-four hours acceptance
by Huerta of the president's media-
lion plan la deemed not only possible
but more .than probable.
Tltese were the developments today
in tht. most thrilling Interrmllonal
diplomatic drama in which this coun-
try has played u part in a decade The
developments were:
The delivery of the president's mes-
sage wag postponed.
It was officially announced at. th
White House that this government
stands pat on the proposals made by
Lind.
On the highest authority It was stat-
ed that four drastic proposals are eon-
tal'd in th" mediation tdan
1. Immediate cessation of organ-
ized hostilities.
2. Arrarmem.i n for a definite arm-
istice. 3. Arrangement fur free and early
presidential election.
4. Early announcement by Huerta
that he will not be a candidate for the
presidency togejher with a pledge for
a free and open election.
It was stf(tei authoritative-- that
Huerta v as not asked to resign.
The president today emphatically de-
clared that h would insist on every
one of the proposals. Consent to post-
pone the delivery of the menage for
-i hours was In effect an ultimatum
to Huerta allowing him that time to
retract his rejection cf the peace pro-
posals. Overtures for delay were submitted
to Llnd lust night.
Today Lind foreign Minister Cam-
boa and O'Shaughnessy were reported
in conference at the palace in Mexico
Ci'y.
That the conference will result hi
the acceptance perhaps in slightly
modified form of the mediation pro-
posals Is confidently helleved hy the.
administration.
These events relieved the tension to-
day. Everything had been arranged
for the president to bare to congress
his futile efforts for immediate peace
and Llnd was ready to start home li
is believed that Wilson's message
would have turned the sympathy !'
the world against Huerta.
The message Is guarded so closely
that not even copies were furnished
to the press in advance.
Telegram by United Press
Washington Ansr. fi Following a
request from John l.ind at -Mexico City
and through the Mexican minister of
foreign affaire from Huerta President
Wilson today eonrentod to postpone
the delivery of his address to congress
on the Mexican situation until 1
o'clock tomorrow.
President Wilson read last night to
the members of I'm? senate committee
oil foreign relations and the house
committee on foreign affairs Republi-
cans as well as Democrats the me.;-
Mge on the Mexican situation.
It is a message of friendship tuil
hostility and precedes a policy of ab-
solute non-interference.
It proclaims to the world the sym-
pathetic feeling that the t niled States
government and the American people
have for their neighbors in the rebellion-torn
republic south of the Rio
Grande.
It records the views of the United
States on constitutional government

Council Raises License of Tent
Theatrical Attractions to $40
Per Show Cuts in Scav-
ger Charges Proposed
In a special meeting of the city
council last night city ordinance Xo.
i' native to the license on theat-1
rictil tent attractions was repealed
and another ordinance passed raisins
the licence to more than double the
figure specified in the. former ordin-
ance. The new .ordinance doe not armiv
I to circus or animal attractions showing
i under anvas but specializes on tbe-
jatrical. smck and minstrel companies.
The former ordinance specified the li-
cense it ft" per day or $:i per week
for the first we-!c and $25 ier week for
each succeeding week for the class of
attractions considered. The new or-
dinance which was passed W ' the
emergency clause raises Ihe pi.ee to
MO for each performance and mokes
no special rate by the week.
The show men of the city were rep-
resented at the meeting- and expressed
their approval of tim council's action.
Th genera! sentiment expressed was
that (he men who have their money
invested in play houses in the city are
endeavoring to procure the best possi-
ble attractions to bo had in this sec-
tion of the country and are entitled
to the patronage of the citizens in
P'-cferenee to traveling companies
showing under canvas who have form-
erly paid only an insignificant licence
in consideration of the amount of
money they take out of the city.
The ordnance committee is consid-
ering an amendment to the ordinance
regulating charges for scavenger work
Introduced at the last regular meeting
hi Alderman Harbour.
Under the provisions of the amend-
ment the maximum charge for clean-
ins vaults is reduced from 50 cents to
15 cents nod the charge per cubit
foot is cut from 10 cents to 5 cents.
The charge for hauling off dead
horses cows or mules is made 2 in-
i stead of IX.-.rt while dead dogs are to
be transported at "two-bits" apiece in-
stead of 50 cents. The amendment
was referred to the committee.
