SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN- -TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1913. APPROVED BILL FLOSSIE BROWN IS FINED SALE OF FOR WEARING SPLITSKIRT IT 5v No Highway Bond Money Can Be Used in Building Municipal Roads. 1' i I Reduced Prices on High-Grade Footwear PAGE TWO BUT II. What was apparently effort to permit the county to build a county I highway through Incorporated towns and eltle, wan discovered' yesterday by A-nlfitnnt District Attorney Kodg among the bills that had ben- passed by the legislature and approved by the roernff, but It Is not the bill intro duced by Assemblyman George H. John son-of this county, and at present its exact meaning: Is uncertain.

Assemblyman Johnson's bill directly authorized the highway commission to carry a county highway through Incor porated towns, and pay for It out of the highway bond money. The bill approved does not do that but seems to authorize the supervisor to do so, and pay for It out the county's gen eral fund. Instead of paying for such work from the bond fund. However, the measure Is manifestly uncertain as to its terms, and study of the measure last right left considerable doubt as to Just what can be accomplished under it. The bill introduced by Assemblyman Johnson was designed particularly to apply to such conditions as arise In Ri-alto and Chi no, through which the county highway" will pass, and It was thought fair that the expense of con structlng it inside the municipal limits should be borne by the bond fund.

It is certain that under' the law which came to light yesterday the bond money cannot be used. It is possible She work can be clone by the supervisors, and thus accomplished indirectly. The Johnson bill passed the legisla ture but was not signed by the govern or, possibly because It was thought this bill covered the same ground. MEXICAN REVOLUriON (Continued from Paga One.) be contingent with the eablishnem.of a satisfactory government in, Mexico City. It became known today that a move-'ment of the Mexicans to appoint a president waa eatUrflactory to both fiactions.

President Wilson does not believe the public mind in the United States is excited over the situation in Mexico, nor Is he convinced that a crisis has been reached la the revolution iose.V. This jnConmation was obtained in official rcies today with an authoritative denial that Pro-j posal looking toward a co-operation be- tween AJherioan military force and the Ifexican government with restoration of peace had been sugtgested. Those who approached the president today on the Mexican situation found him to discuss the subject. as later he was to confer Ambassador Henry lane Wilson. Secretary Bryan arranged to see the president the conference.

The secretary alas con tinued his reticence on Mexican affairs. It was learned at theiwhdte house that reports accrediting Amftaosador WUlson with having advocated a set of proposals contemplating military co-operaition with Mexico or intervention were unBounded. The president has received from Ambassador Wilson a historical account of events in MexSco in the last three years. The ambassador himself declared, today he had not mentioned any remedies on the situation and had not even put on paper the plans he had in mind. He re served these, he said, for his personal Interview with the president Information Contradictory Contradictory information has reached the Washington government regarding the etabilfty of the Huerta government.

It was said today to be a question of re liability of informants. Officials declined to state which report were being credltel. It was said, however, that in last 19 day there had been little or no change In the status of affairs in Mexico. The shooting of Charles B. Dixon, Jr at Juarez Is as a sericus incident, but ite taring on the genera! Mexican eiituation is being minimized by officials here today, as the American demands for investigation and punish ment of the offenders' apparently were beintf complied with.

At the white house it was eald the United Slates would pursue a course of diligent inquiry Into the and would insist on summary action to the guilty. Bryan Also Pretest Secretary Bryan, who had' lunched with the president, entered the executive offices from the white houwe proper and joined the conferees In the president's office. He remained for a short time with the president) aiker Ambassador Wilson's departure. "No policy vat discussed at the con ference," said Mr. Bryan, "and It is not known now when a policy wili be formu lated, but it probaibly will be in a very short time.

The conference was for the puipoee of placing before the president all the Information available on the Mexican situation. The president will comfider the entire subject. Including whatever recommivita.tions Ambassador Wilson haa made or may delre to make." Secretary Bryan, atter a call at the white house, sought information through conference with President Brpwn of the Mexican Nutional railway on traffic conditions in Mexico and their rla tlon to the paralysed condition of com merce and industry. Ambassador Wilson said he expected to leave Washington tonight be away fveral days. He would not discuxs th possibility his return to Mexico In his official capacity.

His oanture at tUia time to Indicate that, he will not appear before the senate foreign relations committee. Ambassador's Interview AniJxawiador Wilson Immediately after his conference with President Wilson said: "The dlacussiion related entirely to the i 1 A rVVhen Flossier Brown, who Kve her name asj Blossom Browning, excited the "people of Richmond, iby appearing on the streets In a split skirt which exhNited heir leg to the knee, she didn't realize that she was taking chances iwiith a stern old Jikige, who looked like a Puritan of Nw Bn gland instead of a southern geolemon. Miss Brown, whose antecedents are not known, halla from Texas, (where the air is freer and conventions are less oV-ipotic than in conservative Virginia. The man who discoveivd her on a Richmond street the mayor and chief of police to take a view. Then the chief arrested her.

"Why, that Is not a split eklrt." paid Flossie. "I sewed it up, but It tore out while I was walking." "Oome to jail," was the answer of the chief. She made the same explanation to JuAge Cnrtchfield when arraigned, lie merely sniffed. "I'll fine you $25 and direct you to leave Richmond at once," was hte answer. The igirl paid the fine and pre-, pared to leave.

So there Is one place in the United States where the extreme Parleh. fashions cannot find countenance. wt quraon or any govern mental policy. All views relative to the sititatlon have been placed In the hands of the president for his consideration," Just before Amlbassador Wilson went Into conference with the president he referred In conversation with Inquirers to proposals for solution of the Mexican dlffiaiilty, published today and attributed to him. He dictated thls statement, which he said he iwas anxious to have reach the Mexican people, especially: 'With reference to published proposals today.

I disclaim all resDonsCbilitY for them, their origin is unknown to me and regTet that ar.ything like them was made public." Military Movements latest reponta from the embassy In Mexico CEty have reflected the financial situation. The battleship South Caro'Jna arrived at. Vera Cruz today to resume patrol duty after having been at Galveston, to giv6 officers and men shore eave. The battleship New Hampshire is en route from Vera Cruz to Galveston to give her officers and tmn shore leave. The gunboat Wheeling, reporting from Frontera, makes no mention cf disorders there.

Senator Pomerene called at the state department to prests for attention the case of Bernard! McDonald, under sen tence of deatti at Chihuahua. I Senadpr Pomerene was told that the dirparttnent had already aggres sive Hieps for the release of Mr. Mc Donald, but that no report had been received from the emnswy at Mexico and that the consulate at Chihuahua had been instructed to act in McDonald's be half. Representative Smith of Texas asked Secretary Bryaa to remove Consul Ecrwards at Juarez because of hto re fusal to allow a party of 50 Americans to go to the relitf of Americans at Madera. A telegram received by Repre sentative Smith today said that the American refugees were in momentary peril.

There are 3-5 Americans there, 21 of which are women and children. The telegram charged that Consul Rdiwardii had not properly represented the situation to the state department. Representative Snlth's report said that 85 bridges on the railroad line between Madera and El Pm had been burned or" dynamited and that had threatened to kill any persons attempting to repair the line. Ha also urged Secretary Bryan to emlbargo al! shipments of arms to Mexico to allow both (Mexican factions to secure American guns.
