Sunday or Agree (o Do So, or War May be Declared by Congress Monday (Special to the Evening Review). WASHINGTON, April 18. Gener al Huerta today defied the United States and ho was promptly given until 6 o'clock Sunday night to yield, If he does not want force used against him. Huerta told OShaughnessy that he would not order the tlag sul uated unless the Washington admin istration will agree to return the salute, "gun for gun." O'Shaugh nessy at once cabled this message to the State Department. President Wilson was out golfing, and Secre tary Bryan and Private Secretary Tumulty leaped Into an automobile and rushed to the Suburban Club's links. They found the President en tering an automobile to return to the White House. He maile room roi l.ryan in his "automobile and made mad speed back to town, and tho two entered the White House together. Shortly afterward liiyau hurried to the State Department. A 111 t!o later it was learned that he had cabled OShaughnessy to refuse nbsolutely Huertas latest demand. The ulti matum to Huerta speedily followed. This demand was explicit, and the time limit was definitely fixed. This was followed today by sensational evidences of preparations for hostili ties by the War and Navy Depart ments. . The following official statement was Issued at the White House at 12:30: "General Huerta is still insisting upon doing something less than de manded, und something less than will constitute an acknowledgement that his representatives were entirely wrong in the indignities they put upon the United Slates Government at Tampico. Tho President is de termined that If General Huerta has not yielded by 6 o'clock Sunday af ternoon that he will take the matter before Congress Monday." Secretary Uryan said the adminis tration's ultimatum to Huerta does not specify that the flag must be saluted by 6 o'clock Sunday night, but only that Huerta must agree by that time to salute it. Beyond the statement issued at the White House, It is said that noth ing more will be published while the administration waits for Huerta's re ply to the ultimatum. OShaugh nessy is expected to deliver It this afternoon. In view of tho fact that there can be no action of war until Congress meets on Monday, Presi dent Wilson will go to Whito Sulphur Springs toniglir. Tho President is compelled to make this trip In per son, because his wife's health is in such oor condition that If he sent for her, the result might be a nervous breakdown. If Is said ho will be back at his desk early Monday morn ing. Navy Men Juliiliuil. On Board the Itattleshlp Arkansns, by wireless via St. Augustine, April 18.

Red DAYLIGHT STORE Car hart HELD ffllUT BAIL Morrison Campbell Held For Mur . der of John Becker THE M'CLALLEN CASE IS CITED Defense Claimed that Accused Should be Ad mitted to Bail, According to Marslers' former Ruling After a preliminary . examination lasting over two hours, Morrison Campbell, charged with the murder of John Becker at Cleveland on April 16, was this morning held by order of Justice R. W. Marsters. without bail, to await action by the grand Jury. Tho hearing was hold in tho Sheriff's olfice and was conducted by Prosecuting Attorney Brown for the state and Attorneys E. B. Her mann and C. h. Hamilton for the defense. Dr. K. L. Miller and Sheriff Quine. who attended the Coroner's Inquest, testified as to the circum stances and conditions at the scene or the tragedy, and Dr. Miller told of how the throe bullets hud passed through Becker s body, lie thought either of the shots would have canted bis death In a few minutes. Sheriff Qulnc told of the location of the blood splotches on tho ground and t lint Becker's body lay about nil feet from the gate where the trouble took place. Among tho witnesses called was Kdw. Von Pessi, who owns the land adjoining the Becker place. The fence and gate there belonged to Becker. Mr. Von Pessl said there was no fence between his land and that owned by Campbell. Also that Becker had no lease of tliis land where lie had been turning out his cows. Campbell was not placed on the witness stand. Ho appeared some what reslless dining the hearing and once nroFe and asked a question of Dr. Miller, but tit the request of his attorney sat down without it being answered. When the Coroner's ver dict wns rend to him at tho opening of tho hearing he seemed to doubt the authenticity of the signatures and immediately asked to seo the document to satisfy himself. After reading them himself ho merely nodded and handed the paper hack. At the conclusion of the testimony the attorneys for the defense stated that self defense would be their plea, and argued thai the. defendant should he admitted to bail. Specllic reference was made to the case of Hoy McClalleii, who was admitted to hail by Justice Marsters. and the claim wns made that ihe circum stances nt that time were stronger against Mct'lallen than they aro now against the defendant, who it was claimed, was attacked and seized by Becker just prior to the shooting, and that Becker was a much younger and Flroliger man than Campbell, thus placing tho latter in danger of bodily harm. A tribute was paid to tho press (perhaps unintentionally I by tho at torney for the defense, who mildly protested to tho court before the re porters present, agninst publication of reports that might prejudice the public mind ag.-iiust the righls of the defendant and thus possibly influence t lie outcome of the trial next month. Newspapers were given credit for be ing a powerful factor In such malters. .Speaking In behalf or tho state, Mr. Brown referred to the admitted fact tl'.at the defendant had gono to tho place of t lie tragedy, armed with Cross Shoes, Munsing Underwear, R. & G.
