Of E Gathering from Carolinas Wil Have "Tented City" on the; Plaza in September Loc? I' Woodmen Will Look Aftes Commissary Probably 2,000 Coming.

O. W., the epistle being written two days ago by Sovereign Manager B. B. Lewis, fronl his headquarters in Kins ton, N. 6. The days of the Encamp ment will bo August 29-September 4 inclusive, and local Woodmen ray that Where will be at least 2,000 visitors in in the city, as the order is very nu merous in the two states, there being some 2,000 Woodmen in Mecklenburg county alone. - - On ; the official program during the encampment will be a big picnic, pre parations for which will be started by the Charlotte and Mecklenburg Wood men in ample time for the occasion. "The visitors," said Sovereign Cook, "will live much like soldiers, with spa cious white tents, and an organized military system of camp government, out on the pleasant vistas bordering the unimproved sections of The Plaza." MRS. McKANE'S CONDITION STILL CRITICAL. The condition of Mrs. Paul McKane continues critical. Mrs. JMcKane and Mr. and Mrs. J. F. McKee, -the lat ter . her daughter, live on . South Boulevard. Mrs. McKane is 64. "She is a native of New Brunswick, N., J., widow of Paul McKane. well known citizen, ot Charlotte, and the mother of five children Mrs. J. A. Schachner, Mrs. J. F.- McKee, Mrs. John P. Tipton, Miss Walberg McKane, and Paul Mc Kane. She is a member of the Cath olic church. Her illness dates from two weeks ago. UN FORM HAWK ion N IN GEMINY'S REPLY (Continued from Page One.) dent Wilson at the summer White House at Cornish. Ambassador Gerard based his ob servations on: the favorable effect wnicn the visit of Dr. Anton Meyer Gerhard, emissary" of Count Bernstorff, produced on Berlin officials. Dr. Gerhard was understood by Am bassador Gerard to have reported that public opinion in the United States had been arrowinar more .and mnro favorable to Germany when the sink ing or the Lusitania undid what had Jeen accomDlished tierhard mnrii it ciear also that the United States-'did not want war but wanted a satisfac- ory reply to its representations. German officials are eager, accord- ng to Ambassador Gerard's report to give such an answer, but at the same time they have made it clear that Germany Cannot - make any conces sions which would destroy the effec tiveness of the submarine as an offen sive weapon. It is understood, Germany is trying to find some method by which Ameri cans traveling cn ships primarily used for passenger traffic shall be safe while the submarine continues to be used in attacking belligerent freight ships carrying confiscatory contra band. Just what proposal Germany will make to accomplish that object, offi Hals here cannot conjecture; but from e fact that Germany seems to be willing to safeguard the rights of Americans who travel on ships of any nationality primarily engaged in pass enger traffic, pn adherence to the prin ciples expressed in the American note "-that non-cor?batants should be im mune from attack would seem, in the opinion of officials here to be recog nized. No infirmation has been received on what the attitude of Germany will be toward assuming liability for loss of American lives on the Lusitania, but the feeling prevails that if a satisfac tory arrangement can be made as to the future Germany will suggest a basis for a favorable adjustment of the Lusitania case as well. Funeral Services of Mr. J. A. Elliott Sunday Afternoon at Residence The funeral service of Mr. J.. A. Elliott, whose death occurred Saturday afternoon, at home on East Seventh street was conducted yesterday after noon at 4:30 at the residence, Rev. Dr. D. H. Rolston of the First Presbyterian church, and pastor of deceased, con ducting the serivce. The house, porch and yard were filled with friends who had known Mr. Elliott -for years and appreciated him as man and friend. The service consisted of the reading of scriptural passages appropriate to the sad occasion, of a beautiful pray er, and by the singing of the hymns, "My Jesus, As Thou Wilt," and "In The Hour Of Trial," the choir con sisting of Miss Adelaide Moseley, Mrs. Oscar Meyer, Messrs. F. H. Andrews and John F. Gordon. ' Many 'beautiful floral tributes " ex pressed sympathy and affection of friends in and out of the city. The in terment took place in the Elliott plot in Elmwood, the commitment being at tended by numbers of friends. Mr. Elliott was for 20 years and more secretary of the First church Sunday school. One of the handsomest floral tributes was from the school. He was also a deacon in the church for years and was esteemed by his fei low churchmen as a man of eminent piety and earnest devotion to his church. ' ' . ' - New Sub Postoffice At Moody Drug Store On West Trade Stree Arrangements have been made by Postmaster J. H. Weddington of Char lotte with the postoffice authorities at Washington to open up a new sub-post-office here in the Moody Drug Store at the corner of West Trade and Mint streets, the new place to be ready for operation in about ten days. This is in anticipation of the removal of the postoffice from its present place to its temporary home in the new Latta building at the corner of Tryon and Second streets, pending the completion of the new postoffice Duilding for the city. The postoffice authorities were pre sented with a numerously signed pe tition bearing names of ' business houses and many people in the area of the city west of Independence Square asking that the sub-postoffice be established at the. store mentioned above, as the necessity of going all the way to the temporary office on South Tryon or the sub-postoffice at the Tryon Drug Store womd cause in convenience. Th.e matter was also laid before Congressman Webb with the result that the request was grant ed. The work of removing the po'stofflce effects from the present building to the temporary tuildins will begin next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and it is hoped to have the task completed by Tuesday.

United States' intends that no more revolutionary elements shall be in troduced into the Mexican situation and that, so far as possible, there will be vigorous prosecution of all other Mexicans whj may be planning to set on foot military expeditions from the United States. Assistant Attorney General Warren made it clar that the agencies of the department of justice are being direct ed not alone against' Huerta and Orozco but against all other offenders affliliated with all Mexican factions, who now are under indictment. Offi cials of. the department of. Justice were much surprised to learn that Huerta and Orozca had been released on bail and ordered that close watch be kept on them. . El Paso, Tex., June 28. The arrest of Generals VictorianoV Huerta and Pascual Orozco here last night on charge of violating the neuarality laws of the United States by attempting to set on foot an armed expedition, has forced abandonment, government offi cials believe, of any movement to launch a new revolutionary movement in Mexico. Huerta was released on $15,000 bond, and Orozco was given his liberty under bond of half that sum. It is understood Huerta's ad herents were prepared to furnish sure ty greatly in excess of the amount fixed. With Huerta and Orozco at liberty,; Mexican and American officials were! watching developments among their adherents. Apparently the tendency of other factional leaders was to await the next move of their opponents. Despite the declaration of General Huerta that he never would enter Mex ico again at the head of an armed force and would not return to his country until peace had been restored, Federal .officials did not relax their vigilance. A large crowd that gathered at the home of Huerta's daughter con tinued to shout "Vivas" for Huerta un til long after midnight. On the legal phases of Huerta's ar rest no action was expected until July 1, the date set for the Huerta OrzOco hearing. General Huerta, en route' to El Paso left the El Paso and Southwestern train at Newman, N. M., intending to complete the 20 mile trip by automo bile with. General Orozco and Major Luis Fuentes. Instead the former President was invited to accompany United States officials to the Federal building for a conference with rep resentatives of the department df jus tice. The trip to the city was made under guard of the 15th United States cavalry under Col George H. Morgan. Huerta made no objection. News of Huerta's arival spread rap idly and so great a crowd gathered around the federal building that on re quest of Mayor Lea, federal and mili tary officials agreed to take the two officers to Fort Bliss pending action by the department of justice represen tatives. Both were released and Huer ta, in a conference with newspaper men, expressed his appreciation of the courtesy shown him. Close Wateh Kept. Washington, June , 28. Although Huerta and Orozco were released on bond, they will be kept under survil lance by agents of the department of justice. Just what evidence has been gathered against them has not been disclosed but it is understood to re late mostly to alleged recruiting of Mexicans on American territory. State department officials decline to say whether Huerta's detention was a part of the Washington government's plan for compelling a solution by the Cafranza, Villa and- Zapata factions now in the field. Until President Wil son returns from Cornish, it is unlike ly there will be any new steps in the Mexican 'policy. GOVERNMENT LABOR -v, OFFICIALS IN SESSION. Detroit, Mich., June -28.
