2 TnE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 29, 1913. ISO BACK JUT SILENT ON MEXICO 'President Unwilling to Offer Any Commnet Until After Conference. TRIP SOUTH ENJOYABLE Diversion Offered by Culpeper, Va, Where One Lone Citizen, Who Always Meets Trains, Is ' Only Man to Turn Out. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. President Wilson returned to the capital tonight at 10:30 o'clock from Mobile, Ala. and motored immediately to the "White House. He had nothing to say about Mexico. On account of the many phases of the situation that had arisen In his absence, the President was unwilling to cay what would be the next step by the United. States until he had conferred with other Administration officials, When he was asked if the United States would announce a new course of action to bring peace in Mexico or allow the previous repudiation of last Sunday's election to stand as his fixed -policy, he said: "I am not discussing Mexico at pres ent with anybody or commenting on the situation there. Trip Wearisome to Hands. The President told his friends that he rarely had enjoyed a trip so much as he did his Journey to and from Mobile. He received such a spontane ous welcome everywhere en route that he had a pair of weary hands tonight, which had been pressed by thousands during the day as his train sped through North Carolina and Virginia. Once the President got off, stretched his legs and mounted the engine to see Engineer Hunter, who proudly exhib ited his locomotive, with a gilded American eagle on the headlight. "Climb down backwards," admonished Engineer Hunter. "I hate to back out of anything," laughed the President, as he descended. Village Crowds Turn Out. The President had given orders not to have the train make any unnecessary stops, but it ran slowly througn scores of villages, where big crowds cheered as they caught a glimpse of the Presi dent There was one exception to the rule. The President requested a stop at Culpeper, Va, the home of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N., the President's physician and constant companion. Dr. Grayson said a through train had not stopped there in five years. "The whole town will be there," he told the President, enthusiastically, as he mentioned that 2201 persons were found there in the last census. When the train did stop at Culpeper there was only one man at the station and it was dark. Fnithfnl "Cooney" Meets Train. "Do you know anyone in the crowd?" asked the President, solemnly. "Oh, yes," replied the doctor, some what crestfallen, "that's Cooney Hans, borough but he meets all trains anyhow." He insisted there surely would have been a crowd if it was known the train would stop. At Charlottesville, Va., a big crowd of University of Virginia students gave the President a college yell and Invited him to attend their football game next Saturday. At Evington, Va., the President gave the feminine contingent at the station a basket of flowers. The woman to whom he gave them was so delighted liiilL Bile u&iiueu ivr juy. Governor Craig, of North Carolina, and his staff paid their respects at Charlotte, N. C. from this fight that the one guard Is reported missing. The battle there was of a nature almost Identical with that of the Hastings fight except that the strikers approached the prop erty from only one direction. About 100 of them were engagedby an equal number of mine guards, who had been aroused from their sleep by the sounds of shots. While the fight at Tabasco was at its height, the strikers dropped a tin bucketful of black powder into the canon at & place calculated to throw it against one of the many frame buildings of the camp. Water from falling snow had gathered at the point where the bucket landed and the fuse was extinguished. Machine Gmi Are Used. At about this time the mine guards reached the top of the opposite em bank men t and began to operate their machine guns, guided by the brilliant light - of a high-power searchlight. Guards from the adjoining camp, Ber wind, hurried to the aid of their fel lows at Tabasco and the strikers de ployed along the hill after the firing from the machine gun began until reaching a place over this camp. There the battle was renewed and continued until 9 o'clock. A force of militiamen from the Trinidad company reached the three camps in this territory late today, and by virtue of martial government closed every saloon in the three camps. No attempt was made to disarm the guards, who tonight are using the utmost vigilance to protect the camps against repetition of this morning's fight. Many houses in the canon were pen etrated by bullets. Strikers late to day could be seen In the hills within rifle shot of the three camps, and all who were observed were heavily armed.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Oct. 28. The Washington Times today telegraphed John Barrett, who is in Alabama, asking him to af firm the rumor that he is engaged to marry Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh. The Times published the following reply from Mr. Barrett: "If any publicity has been given to the rumor about which you inquire, please. In Justice to a most estimable lady, say that there is not even the slightest foundation for such a report, and I cannot imagine how it started. I am too busy even to think of matri mony." At Mr. Barrett's office no Informa tion was obtainable, but it was said Mr. Barrett would return to Washing ton Friday.

The United States requested the powers to await a proposal, several days ago. and since that time the note has been in preparation. Huerta Moat Be Eliminated. There is much speculation as to what Is to be proposed, but it is declared to be certain that whatever the plan is it will demand the elimination of Huerta and the government which arose after the revolt against Madero, and provide for constitutional election in Mexico which can be recognized by the United States. With Great Britain, Germany and France Joining the- United States in a demand for Huerta's resignation, and the holding of a free and fair election, it has been asserted confidentially by officials high in authority - here that Huerta would yield and that a new government would be established with out intervention. This would necessi tate a cessation of all hostilities and co-operation on the part of Mexican revolutionists. An evidence of the sincerity of France In the proposed co-operative Mexican policy came toaay in a request by tnat government that the United States send a warship to protect her citizens in San Ignacio, Sinaloa, on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

Many incl dents connected with the rise and fall of the defunct Panama Development Company were told today in the Fed eral Court, where Dr. John Grant Lyman, promoter of Panama lands, was on trial on a charge 'of having mad fraudulent use of the mails In - con nection with the sales made through the concern. John- Redpath, formerly Vice-presi dent of the concern, testified concern lng the lean days pf the company Jus before Lyman was arrested in San rancisco and his offices here were raided by Government authorities. Lyman told him before he went to San Francisco, Redpath testified, that the Panama Development Company had sold 50,000 acres of land in Panama. "After Lyman reached San Fran cisco," said Redpath, "1 tried to get him to return. I wrote him that the investors were becoming dissatisfied He answered that he could not re turn for two reasons one was that he could not leave his hotel without paying his bill and that he was un able to pay it. The othe reason was that he was trying to negotiate loan. "LateV he wrote me he had prospects of borrowing $5000 and that if he suc ceeded he would send $3000 here to be used for current expenses. "Before he went to San Francisco the land sales were dwindling. They did not even pay office expenses. At the same time, Lyman frequently ob tained large sums of money, but how he did not xplain. Once he turned over to me $1200, another time $2700 and a third time $4000. We used the money for running expenses." IS FEARS SENATOR SATS PKESEXT TAR IFF CANNOT LAST. Increase of Imports, Says Senator, Will Throw Tens of Thousands Ont of Employment. ' TAUNTON, Mass., Oct. 28. National politics was injected into the state cam paign tonight by Senator Cummins, of Iowa. Speaking here in behalf of Rep resentative Gardner, Republican candi date for Governor, Senator Cummina attacked the Democratic tariff bill and declared that the rank and file of the Republican party would come into its own at the next National election, "on the basis of Republican strength in the several states and not upon the absurd, indefensible plan now in force." "As I look at it, said the Senator, "the supremacy of the Democratic party Is a disaster, and we must remove it soon if we would escape the fatal con sequences of a policy that never has failed, and which, never will fail, to bring ruin upon the industrial and com mercial structure which houses the multitudes of hard-working, energetic, efficient men and women who haye given the United States the distinction Jt now enjoys." Speaking of the tariff act he said: "It is either lgnorantly or maliciously discriminatory, and opens the door for that increase of imports which, before the year passes, must leave tens of thousands of laboring men and women without employment. "If you want our country to main tain the high place we have occupied heretofore, you will install a fair, rea sonable protective system, not the ex cessive duties of the Payne-Aldrich law. but duties tnat will measure the dif ferences between our cost and the cost of other lands. I believe the Repub lican party is the organization to make the fight."- POPE IN RECEIVER'S HANDS Motor Manufacturing Company De nies Its Insolvency. , HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 28. An nouncement was made here today that the Pope Manufacturing Company had been placed in the hands of a receiver. The company made motor vehicles. BOSTON, Oct 28. Ancilllary receiver ship proceedings against the Pope Man ufacturing Company, of Hartford1, Conn., were instituted by the New De parture Manufacturing Company, of Bristol, Conn., in the United States Dis trict Court here today. Pending a hear ing tomorrow. Judge Putnam issued a restraining order keeping the property intact. While- assenting to the receivership proceedings, the Pope company denies that it is insolvent, but says it has been unable to obtain sufficient credit to meet accruing obligations. Fletcher is wondering Just what dis position Washington will ask him to make of his self-invited guest. This was the net situation at the close of General Felix Diaz first day as a refugee. Ashore the arrest or two or three persons of lesser im portance served to sustain interest. - German Consulate Also Asylum. It was not generally known that the German Consulate has become an asy lum for a follower of Diaz. Rafael Alcolea, a brother-in-law of Diaz, alarmed for his own safety, sought ref uge with Consul Gcertz. The Mexican authorities apparently are ignorant of his presence there. Friends of Alcolea expect to get him out of the country at the first oppor tunity and the possibility Is that he. too. will become a refugee on a war ship. If so, it Is probable that the Hertha. the German cruiser, will be chosen. No order has been made for his arrest. Rear-Admiral Fletcher and Presi dent Wilson's representative, Mr. Lind, reported the night and subsequent do ingsof General Diaz to their respec tive departments, but, so far as Is known, have received no answer. The Admiral assumes that he will be in structed either to put Diaz and his two companions aboard some passen ger steamer whose schedule does not call for a stop at Mexican ports or set them ashore from some warship at an American port. Fugitives) reatly Relieved. General Diaz and his fellow fugi fives displayed marked signs of relief when they readied the warship, but not greater than aid the authorities ashore, whose attitude is that Diaz has relieved them of an embarrassing po sition. They insist that they have no orders to protest and express the be lief that General Huerta is highly pleased' that General Diaz has chosen to eliminate himself in such a manner. No honors weire accorded General Diaz when he went aboard the Louis iana, to which he was transferred from the Wheeling, but marked cour tesy was shown him by the Admiral, who assigned htm to his own mess and sent the other refugees to the ward room. A long rest in. the afternoon served to restore General Diaz' nerve, which seemed to have been badly shattered by the developments or expected devel opments since he arrived in Mexico. He explained that he had consented to take refuge in the consulate and then aboard a warsjrfp only after decidln that this was "the last extremity to preserve my lice. Own Plana Are Nebulous, He adeda that he had no plans ex cept to avoid bing set ashore in Mex ico. It was probable, he said, that he would establish a residence in Europe, although he mijght spend some time in Havana. On his own testimony he would not be welcome in the camps of the rebels and his presence there prob ably weuid mean his death. General Diaz finds himself in a more awkward predicament than most ref ugees, as there is no quarter of the republic in which he considers himself safe. His wife still is in Vera Cruz and was no less apprehensive as to his safety than he himself. She expressed her belief that jier husband was safe aboard an American warship. The vera uruz papers give mucn prominence to the escape of Diaz, at tributing his position to undue partici pation in recent events. The military authorities hetre have reported to the capital, but have received no instruc tions relative to the case. Let GILL'S Supply Your Copy THE WAY HOME The J. K.

CRITICISED 'Great Christian Leader" Now Sec retary of State, Serving Game Kind of Grape Juice as Was Used in Jesus' Day. ACTRESS CAN'T COLLECT COURT REFUSES JUDGMENT TO SHOWGIRL- WHO QUIT. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 28. That we now have a Christian man in the White House; an Administration of Sabbath observance in all the depart ments of the Government, and that President Taft's administration "rep resented more subserviency to tfie liquor interests and other bad combina tions than any other in American nis tnrv " wei-n thi declarations of Dr, Clarence True Wilson, of Topeka, Kan. secretary of the Temperance Society of the Methodist Church, who aaaressea the National Convention of Methodist Men here today. Dr. Wilson declared . that President Taft waited until the last minute, when he hoped there would be no time for reconsideration before the vetoing of the Webb liquor bill, and said that his administration went down to defeat before an avalanche of indignation. such as never been duplicated in the United States. "A great Christian leader Is the Sec retary of State now, continued ur. Wilson. "Our former Secretary of State used to send out letters to all American consuls notifying them of brewers' conventions and ordering them to investigate and see what they could do to Increase the exportation of American beers. William J. Bryan will never do that. When Mr. Bryan calls the representatives of the nations acound his hospitable board he serves the same kind of grape Juice which was used in Palestine in the days of Jesus, wnen a lew news papers commented, Mr. Bryan made a speech that was neard around tne world, and Mr. Bryan's grapejuice be came as popular as Kansas buttermilk.' Dr. Wilson said under the present Administration all grog shops have been closed in the Panama Canal zone and the battleships of the Navy for bidden to carry alcoholic liquors on board. He declared the cause of tem perance had received a great uplift. Kitty Gordon's Manager Must Pay Sbary Ambrose Back Salary, but Xot Transportation. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 28 (Special.) Mary Ambrose never again will speak lines in the "Enchantress" com pany to Kitty Gordon, the star with the $50,000 back. Neither will Manager Gaites. of the company, have to pay Miss Ambrose's are back to New Tork or accept her service again in the part of Princess Diana. The troubles of the songbird, who. until she had a final quarrel with Miss Gordon, on .September 14, was feature of the" show at the Cort Theater here, were all settled today by Justice of the Peace Barnett in his Judgment in Miss Ambrose's suit to col lect $32 salary and $250- railroad fare back to Broadway from Manager Gaites. The court finds. Miss Ambrose is en titled to $32.50 back salary, the same um Manager Gadtes offered to pay her the night she left the company. It is also the judgment that Miss Ambrose is not entitled to her railroad ticket back East because she quit the company of her own accord and did not N wait -to be discharged. The fact that she presented herself on the stage and offered to go on later does not remedy her error. Having found that she broke her own contract, the court places no obligation on Manager Gaites to give Miss Ambrose further employment. The two women, according to mem- ers of the company, have ha trouble since they Lsft New Tork. This breach widened when Miss Ambrose refused to speak certain lintjs in the part of Diana as Miss Gcnrdon wanted them spoken.' School Funds Apportioned. ROSEBURG, Or Oct. 28. (Special.)
