VIEWS THEY TRY TO SHOW.
"The minute I turn up anywhere,
I am personally conducted to beat
the band. The curator and the as
sistant curators and every other
blooming official turns up and thev
show me so much attention that
don't nee the building. I would
have to say. 'Stand aside and let me
see what you are showing me
Borne day, after I am through with
this office, I am going to come back
to Washington and see It." From
address by President to his fellow
Press I'lub members.
WASHINGTON, March 20. Woodrow
Wilson unbosomed himself to the mem
bers of the National Press Club of
Washington today. He told them In a
frank, conversational way how he felt
as President of the United States.
It was an intimate picture of Wood
row Wilson, drawn by himself, on the
occasion of the "house warming'" at the
Press Club's new quarters. The Presi
dent did not intend to have his re
marks reported, but later, at the re
quest of the club, the unusual speech
was made public. It follows:
"I was just thinking; of my sense of
confusion of identity sometimes when
I read articles about myself. I have
never read an article about myself in
which I recognized myself, and I have
come to have the impression that I
must be some kind of a fraud, because
I think a great many of these articles
are written in absolute good faith.
False Impressions Made.
"I tremble to think of the variety
and falseness in the Impressions I make
and it is being borne in on me so
that I may change my very disposition
that I am a cold and removed person
who has a thinking machine . inside
which he adjusts to the circumstance
which he does not allow to be moved
by any winds of aft'ection or emotion
of any kind, but turns like a cold
searchlight on anything that is pre
sented to his attention and makes it
work.
"I am not aware of having any de
tachable apparatus inside of me. On
the contrary, if I were to Interpret
myself, I would say that my constapt
embarrassment is to restrain the emo
tions that are inside of me. You may
not believe it, but I sometimes feel like
a flro from a far-distant volcano, and
if the lava does not seem to spill over,
it is because you are not high enough
to see into the basin and see the cal
dron boil.
Many Things Need Correction.
"Because, truly, gentlemen, in the po
sition which I occupy there is a sort
of passionate sense of being called with
my fellowmen in a peculiar relation
ship of responsibility not merely the
responsibility of office, but God knows
there are enough things in the world
that need to be corrected.
"I have mixed first and last, with ull
sorts and conditions of men there are
mighty few kinds of men that have to
be described to me, and there are mighty
few kinds of experiences that have to
be described to me and when I think
of the number of men who are looking
to me as the representative of a party,
with the hope for all varieties of salva
tion from the things they are strug
gling in the midst of, it makes me
tremble. It makes me tremble not only
with a sense of my own inadequacy
and weakness, but as if I were shaken
by the very things that are shaking
them, and If I seem circumspect it is
because I am so diligently trying not
to make any colossal blunders. If you
just calculated thu number of blunders
a fellow can make in 24 hours if he Is
not careful and if he does not listen
more than he talks, you would see
something of the feeling that I have.
A ew lands' Remark Amuses.
"I was amused the other day at a
remark that Senator Newlands made.
I had read him the trust message that
I was to deliver to Congress some 10
days before I delivered it, and I never
stop 'doctoring' things of that kind
until the day 1 have to deliver them.
When he heard it read to Congress lie
said. 'I think it was better than it was
when you read It to me.' I said, 'SenaH
tor, there is one thing which I do not
think you understand. I not only use
all the brains I have but all I can bor
row, and I borrowed a lot since I read
it to you first."
"That, I dare say, is what gives the
Impression of circumspectness. I am
listening; I am diligently trying to col
' lect all the brains that are borrowable
In order that I may not make more
blunders than It is inevitable that a
man should make who has great limi
tations of knowledge and capacity. And

beside tbe track, clear of the wheels.

CONSTITUTIONALIST HEADQUAR
TERS, Yermo, ' Chihuahua, Mexico,
March 20. General Villa and his army
of 12.000 rebels invested the federal
stronghold of Torreon today.
The khaki-clad columns occupied the
environs of the city without opposition
and time was spent in wheeling or
dragging the field pieces into position
to shell the federal trenches, which
have been dug at every point where
the federal commander. General Re
fugio Velasco, expects attack.
Mountain Pauses Fortified.
The federad army is estimated to
number 9000 men. South and south
west of the city his position is re
garded as almost impregnable byrea
son of the mountains, through which
only three passes run. and these have
been made almost impassable by' forti
fications and barbed . wire entangle
ments. In other directions the city
Is reached through the desert and high
hills.
Villas's recent progress has been
slow, because it was necessary to re
pair the railroad tracks and bridges.
The road was open from Yermo today,
however, where the troops have been
mobilizing, to Mapiml and Bermejillo,
which are only a few miles north of
Torreon and are virtually suburbs of
that city.
Troops Suffer la Transit.
At these two cities, after suffering
leng hours In the cars,, where they
were stuffed like figs in a box and with
a Bcant supply of water, the troops de
trained and formed in columns in the
intense heat.
There was little loss of time , in
plunging into the desert, some mount
ed and others on foot. Great clouds
of fine desert dust marked their mov
ing over hummocks of cacti-crowned
sand and through dry water courses.
Great tank wagons laden with tha wa
ter supply, which has been Villa's
greatest problem, rumbled in the train.

LONDON, March 20. "War in Ul
ster" is the startling headline which
the sensational London newspapers are
displaying in the blackest type.
Tha government began to place its
regular troops in Ireland today, so they
might be in a position to deal with any
situation that may arise. The cooler
men among the loyalists and the Ul
ster Unionists, however, believe noth
ing resembling war is in sight.
The army council some time ago con
sidered tha possibilities of home rule
strife and instructed Lieutenant-Gen-eral
Sir Arthur Henry Fitzroy Padget,
who commands the Irish garrisons, to
take necessary f precautions to maintain
order and safeguard property., A gen
eral redistribution of the forces in Ire
land therefore was begun today.
Ulster Garrisons) Reinforced.
Two regiments were sent from the
south to reinforce the Ulster garrisons,
while tha troops in Ulster were moved
to new statio'tis In conformity with the
custom that in the event of hostilities
or rioting soldiers should not be com
pelled to encounter people with whom
they had formed friendship.
The possibilities of a collision be
tween the British soldiers and the Ul
ster volunteers resulting from tho su
perheated political feeling are recog
nized, but . the - leaders on both sides
are trying to exert a pacific influence.
John Redmond today telegraphed the
Nationalists in Belfast an urgent ap
peal to abandon a parade arranged for
Sunday in Londonderry. Sir Edward
Carson and the members of the Ulster
Council invoked calmness on the part
of the volunteers.

MOST UNIQUE DAM
TO BE ENLARGED
CRESCENT - SHAPED BARRIER
WILL RISE 90 FEET NOW.
Narrow Structure of Malheur Live
stock & Land Company Has
Unusual Strength.
SALEM, Or., March 20. -(Special.)
State Engineer Lewis today gave per
mission for the enlarging of the most
peculiar dam over erected in Oregon for
storing water for irrigation purposes.
The permit was granted to the Mal
heur Livestock & Land Company, which
will increase the height of its present
dam from 55 feet to 90 feet to provide
2840 acre-feet of water. The dam is
only 5.2 feet thick-at the base and three
feet at the top. Its unusual strength
Is due to its being built of concrete and
steel, and the engineers declare there
will be no danger of a break even when
its height is almost doubled.
It is crescent shape, with the curve
toward the water. The promoters say
their reason for making the strange
type canal is that cement has to be
hauled 80 miles in wagons, and it has
been found cheaper to use steel in cory
necuon wttn it.
"I am satisfied the dam will hold,"
sa ! Mr. Lewis, "but the type is an un
usual one. Even should the semi
circular structure give way there would
be no lives lost, for the water would
descend into a desert. However, there
is no danger of anything like that. The
enlarging of tho dam will cost $30,000.'

Under $5000 cash bail, which she was
unable to furnish, Mrs. Edith Edna
Hawley, by her own confession sender
of six packages of poisoned candy
through the mails , to three step-children,
her own baby, and a woman of
whom she was jealous, was bound
over to the Federal grand jury at a
preliminary hearing before A. M. Can
non, United States Commissioner, late
yesterday afternoon. I
The charge against her was sending
poison through the malls with intent
to kill. Four counts may be pressed
by Clarence Reames, United States Dis
trict Attorney.
The penalty on any one of them,
under tho Federal statute,' is up to
$5000 fine and 10 years in the peniten
tiary. The extreme penalty on the four
counts would be $20,000 fine and 40
years in the penitentiary.
I'rlsoner'M Mother Present.
' Mrs. Hawley passed the night in the
County Jail, as a, United States pris
oner. Her mother, Mrs. Robert Kobinson, a
little woman in black', sat by her
through tho hearing yesterday. Mrs.
Hawley herself presented rather a
sombre figure. She, too, was dressed
In black, and she wore a large hat, a
dash of white in Hhe crown, but
trimmed heavily in black. -Under the
brim showed heavy colls of her bright
blonde half. fc
But she looked far from the part of
the poisoning Borgia she is accused of
being. Thin-faced : nd sharp of fea
ture, with the pale face and look of
a drug-user (she Is addicted to strych
nine), she would re too Insignificant
appearing to be taken for a master
criminal.
Eyes Flash Angrily.
Much of the time she gized fixedly
at Mr. Reames, who sat across a table
from her in the United States grand
jury-room, in which the hearing was
conducted. Now and then, though,
through dark eyes, half shut until only
the pupils were visible, she would
look angrily about. She displayed no
other emotion than this occasional ono
of anger, with a touch of.defiancc
E. C Clement. United States postal
Inspector, who heard Mrs. Hawley's
confession at police headquarters
Thursday night, was tho only witness.
He told how she had related having
sont tho candy through tho mail, in
tending to kill tho recipients.
Mrs. Hawley flashed an angry look at
hiin. "No, sir, I never made such a
statement," she snapped.
Mr. Clement detailed other parts of
her confession. Again Mrs. Hawley
looked at him with her peculiar half
shut gaze.
Poisoner Says Little.
"No, sir, no such conversation was
carried on," she asserted vehemently.
She appeared throughout to be keenly
alert to the court proceedings.
She did not take the stand herself.
She also "declined to be interviewed,
except to cay, when asked if she had
confessed to sending the candy:
"No, sir, I didn't say that I did say
I sent it but I didn't say the rest of
what that man said up there."
The case of this woman, three times
a wife, though she is only 34 years old,
and with two children of her own, has
presented a curious study in psychology
to police and postofflce Inspectors.
She appears rational in every way,
without a sign, so far. of insanity. They
have endeavored to fathom the work
ings of her mind to explain the motive
of her self-confessed attempt to poison
a whole neighborhood.
"I just didn't like them," is her
principal comment when she is j?rkTd
why she tried to poison her stepcltil

quick-wittedness in refusing to "divide

probably nine or ten children.
