Five hundred mem- j bers of the General ' Federation of Women's Clubs marched to the White House and drew from President Wll- son a final refusal to accede to de- manda thtt he support the movement :: for a woman suffrage amendment to V the Federal Constitution. The Pres ident reiterated his statement to pre vious delegations that his party had . not embodied this question in Its plat form and then for the first time an nounced his personal conviction that the suffrage issue was one tor settle ment by the state and not by the Fed eral Government V. :."V : Senate Differ on Lever Bill. Washington. The senate : refused to agree to the Lever cotton futures bill, adopted by the house, aa a sub stitute for the senate bill by Senator B. D. Smith and sent the measure to conference.

The Fmnir e KatiiJ " fiflljr-h President Expects Business Men to Learn That They Have Nothing to Fear. Washington. For nearly an hour President Wilson discussed business conditions with J. P. Morgan at the first of a series of conferences which will bring to the White House men foremost In American Industry and finance. It waa one of the very few occasions during the 16 months of his administration that the President has received one of the recognised lead ers of big business." Officials said that while the Admin istration's greatest legislative projects were underway the tariff act, the currency bill, and while the trust pro gram was being perfected the Pres ident felt there should be no oppor tunity for a charge that they were re ceiving inspiration from business or financial centers. Now that two of the Administra tion reforms have been completed and a third is In a final stage the Pres ident Is said to feel that an exchange of thought and Information with cap tains of industry will be conducive to the business revival he expects to see along lines which the administration holds to be legal. Boon Henry Ford, Detroit manufac turer, will confer with the President and after that a delegation from the Chicago Association of Commerce, in cluding representatives of six corpor ations with Nation-wide Interest, will come for a conference. Out of these exchanges the Pres ident expects business men to learn that lawful enterprise has nothing to fear from the Democratic adminis tration; that the trust program having reached a point where he foresees Its successful completion, business shall have the rest many of its leaders have been asking; and that under the "con stitution of freedom,'' as the President has christened the trust legislation commerce and finance respecting the laws will not be harassed by the Fed eral government Whether Mr. Morgan came at his own request or at the invitation of the President was not established. That point often is left in doubt as to Important White Honse confer ences. Officials aald Mr. Morgan ask ed for the engagement, .Another ver sion was that mutual friends arrang ed for Mr. Morgan to "talk things over " : The two men have been ac quainted for some time and Mr. Mor gan knew the President at Princeton and the personal element in the call was a large one.

GRAND JURY. MORE CHARGES ARE MADE LESS WHISKEY CON8UMED. More But Mere Beer I Used and r - Cigarettes Smoked. Washington. Americans drank less whiskey during the past 13 months than they did the year before, but they consumed more beer and smoked more cigarettes. Reports to the commissioner of in ternal revenue made publle showed that receipts for the fiscal year Just closed totalled 1846,089 less than for the previous year, and most of this decline was due to the marked de crease la taxes collected on distilled spirits. Detailed statements for the month of June are not yet available, but in the first 11 months of the fiscal year there was a decrease of $8,734, 8571 in the Income from the manufac ture and sale of distilled liquor, due in part to reduction In the number of licenses, i Estimates on the June re ceipts indicated the total decline in distilled liquor tax for 12 months will probably be 14,260,000. Receipts from. tobacco taxes show ed an approximate Increase of $2,800, 000 over last year. This gain ia due almoat entirely to a phenomenal in crease in the cigarette trade.

AMBASSADOR DaGAMA TALKS He Thinks Mors Favorable Atmes phere Haa Been Created In Ameri can Politics and Policies. Niagara Falls, Out. Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil formally announced the virtual settlement of the conflict between the United States and Mexi co. The Ambassador explained that while mediation would take an Indefi nite recess awaiting the outcome of efforts by representatives of the two Mexican factions to solve the inter nal problems of Mexico the task of mediation was not yet concluded, though an esesntial part of its work had been 'accomplished. The Ambassador spoke at a lunch eon given by the three mediators to newspaper correspondents! The Amer ican and Huerta delegations were present and the remarks of Mr. Da Gama, after careful revision, were made public later, constituting a for mal statement of the mediation work thus far. "It is a source of satisfaction for me," said the Ambassador "to be able to say that one of the essential points of our program, that dealing with the International side of the con flict is virtually settled. This does not imply that we go home with our task concluded, but we feel that so far we have averted war. We have established also through agreement between the parties most directly In terested and in complete harmony with the sentiments of the Govern ment of the United States that it is a principle of American policy to have our National problems always given a fair examination and settled without foreign interference. We un derstand that If such a result has been attained we shall have created a more favorable atmosphere in in ternational politics in America." Mr. Da Gama called attention to the fact that President Wilson per sonally hsd Informed the mediators before they left Washington-that the only way to solve Mexico's problem was "to aid the contending parties in Mexico to reach an agreement among themselves, thus obtaining a Mexican Solution of the Mexican question. - - In this manner the Ambassador re vealed that the course mediation haa taken was in President Wilson's mind from the beginning. , The speech served also as a defini tion for the world generally of the hitherto unsettled status of media CHARLOTTE FIREMEN KILLED.
