Washington, Oct. 29. President
Wilson is considering the wisdom of
sending an ultimatum to Dictator Hu
erta demanding his retirement In
view of communications received from
the powers, it is believed . England,
Germany and France will uphold him
in such, a demand. If he did so, Hu
erta would probably quit It is said
the president is inclined to think this
is the best plan for eliminating the
dictator without using force of arms.

Cousin Kate Pleases.
Sherry's theatre was packed to the
doors last night to. witness the per
formance of "Cousin Kate" presented
by the Jearinie Russell company. It
must be said in explanation that the
one act play is the original .play of
three acts boiled down into one. This
task of boiling down was very credit
ably done and the audience was well
pleased with the plot The acting was
superior in all respects and demon
strated the company to be most capa
ble. To Miss Russell is due the bulk
of praise for her clever presentation
of a role in which Ethel Barrymore
won fame during several ; seasons.
None of the bradadocia of the usual
road show was in evidence and the
quick change of versatile woman's
feelings were portrayed with faitti
ful accuracy by the leading lady. Ray
Brandon, the leading male character,
in fact the only one, supported Miss
Russel in a most laudatory manner.
He mastered the pauses that often
speak more than words and gave the
whole the realism that makes the
audience forget they are witnessing
a play. '

probably be held Monday but the date
can't be definitely fixed due to the
delay in bringing the body from Wyo
