FUNSTON WANTS MORE MEN Policy of Preparedness to Pre serve Order Urged. WILSON OPPOSES MOVE President Fears to Embarrass Ef forts of Mediators War Depart- mcnt Favors Equipping Army of 5 0,0 00 or More. WASHINGTON, May 7. On receiving a Ions cipher cablegram from General 1'unston at Vera Cruz tonight Secre tary Garrison called into conference at tho "War Department Maior-General Wotherspoon. chief of staff, and the entire general staff of the Army. No Intimation as to the nature of the dis patch was made public. The conference lusted until nearly midnight. Secretary Garrison said there would bo no announcement to night. He and the Army officers wore Brave faces and it was no secret that news of importance had been received. Mexico City Situation Grave, Later Secretary Garrison said Gen eral Funston had transmitted some in formation which refugees had brought from Mexico City as to conditions in the Mexican capital. He said that no aggressive movement of any kind by the American forces was ordered. It was understood that the refugees from Mexico City had informed Gen eral Punston of the critical aspect of affairs in the Huerta regirae, that a collapse might be expected momentar ily and that conditions of anarchy might ensue. The purpose of General Funston in transmitting these reports was believed to be to advise the Wash ington Administration of the possibili ties that might develop from a fall of Hucrta in order that if the Administra tion Army is compelled to rescue for eigners or restore order it may be fully equipped. Emergency Force Desired. Althoush not officialy stated. It is known that high officials of the War Department strongly desire to place at Vera Cruz, or on transports within striking distance, a large enough force, perhaps 50.000 or 60,000 men, to make -an expedition to Mexico City if it be comes necessary. Officials of the War Department are known to believe that if an advance on Mexico City is ordered it will be necessary to guard every mile of the railroad, as the Army moves forward, and that a large force would show the natives the futility of resistance, whereas a division of 15.000 men might ne subject to several attacks along the route with possibly heavy losses. The American Army officers also re card the situation at Vera Cruz as likely to become desperate in the event that anarchy breaks out in Mexico Cith er the forces of General Maas should make tin attack on their own initiative. Irrespective of the Huerta govern ment's promise of a suspension of hos tilities against the United States. .More Infantry Required. A large number of bluejackets could be landed from the warships to rein force the 7000 troops a'nd marines in Vera -Cms. but in order to hold the positions outside of Vera Cruz up to the water works more infantry is be lieved to be required by General Fun ston. There have been persistent re ports that lie has asked for more men. In view of the progress of media Con, the Army officers desire not to. make .my move that might embarrass the negotiations, and yet are desirous of being prepared for any eventuality. It is considered likely that at to morrow's Cabinet meeting the situation will be discussed, although the Presi dent :uul Secretary Bryan are believed t" be finally set against any, military activity at the present moment, unless rf crisis develops in Mexico City beyond control of the authorities and forcign t(S are endangered.

Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter of the President and Mrs. Wilson, became Uie bride tonight of William Gibbs McAdoo, the Secretary of the Treasury, in the historic Blue Room of the White House.

It was a simple ceremony brief, but solemn the radiant faces of the bride and bridegroom reflecting the happi ness of the hour. For the President and Mrs. Wilson it was a touching moment, as they gave away a daughter for the second time within- a year. Around them stood their relatives and friends a small group, for it was a family affair much tho same kind of home wedding one would see in any American household, although the his toric interior of the White House with its masses of lilies and ferns, the uni formed aides, and the presence of members of the Cabinet and the Vice- President, preserved for the function an official aspect. t Ceremony and Reception Brief. It was In contrast, nevertheless,- to the wedding of last November. There were no uniformed diplomats, no mem bers of the Senate or House, or the Supreme Court. This was the wish of the bride and bridegroom, and except for an afternoon of gayety among the young- folks, with the busy anticipa tion that always" precedes a wedding, the day and evening moved by quietly and quickly.

Lee, a saloonkeeper, is under ar rest on a warrant sworn out by city officials and the city- Is in a furore of excitement as the result of a street fight here today between representa tives of the "wet" and "dry" factions, now contesting for tho control of the city. " The trouble started when Nels Carl son, the City Marshal, attempted to ar rest Lee on the charge of operating a saloon within the city limits without a license. Lee was convicted last Sun day on a charge of selling liquor to minors and his license was revoked. He opened the saloon again today, con tending that tne notice of the Council' decision had never been served on him. Lee resisted arrest and called the officer names, it is said. In the melee the officer's pistol fell to the sidewalk. O. Danigan, a "wet," stepped on the gun and refused to yield it, when the officer butted him inVhe stomach with his head. The weapon was discharged, the bul let penetrating Danlgan's groin and Inflicting a serious wound.. The bul let entirely passed through Danlgan's body and seriously wounded Sam Lavere, a bystander. Danigan is in the hospital, but -will recover. Rainier went dry last November. Judge Aiken later voided the election. The "drys" are now ln control of the Council. Lee's license was revoked on the ground that he was not obeying the law. Lee alleges that Carlson tried to make the arrest without ,a warrant. Ho is now under arrest on a charge of allowing minors in his saloon, a second warrant having been issued. GOVERNOR'SOFFICE SCENE OF DRAMA MOVIE OPERATORS BY RUSE GET SETTINGS FOR PRISON PLAY.

The tears of the wife, mother and children were their arguments that his prayer bo granted. The man addressed, brushed a tear from his eye, and over coming his emotions laid a hand on a shoulder of the creature ln stripes, as he said: "Charles Henderson, you have been an erring man, but I say to you go back to your home, your, wife and babes and sin no more." Just then Governor West entered his office and the actors of a "movie" melodrama filed out of the room. "The 'movies' have put one over on me." said the Governor later. "I gave a man permission to take a picture of my office and he made it the stage for a drama. However, I wish I had seen the man who impersonated me."

EXHIBIT BY LOCAL MS IS OPENED Mutual Art Association Shows 100 Paintings. PUBLIC LIBRARY IS SCENE Five Worfcs of WorFd-Famous Men Loaned to Club. DISPLAY OPEN TWO WEEKS Pictures or Varied Types Reveul Real 3Ierit and Individuality Natural Coloring Portrayed Works ofMany Arc Commended. Tiio first exhibition of original paint ings of the new Mutual Art Association of Portland was opened at the Library yesteroay with a collection of 100 works, and five paintings by world famous artists loaned by the artists or by local owners. The exhibit will be open urtll May 13 from 10 A. M. un til 10 P. M. The Mutual Art Association wis formed on January 19 with 13 active and five associate members. Today there are 43 active members, 30 asso ciate and 12 honorary. While much of the work is that of beginners yet there are exhibitions by several artists whose work is clever. Chief among these are W. L. Everett Knowles, E. W. Hill. Mrs. M i Woods. Paul L. Laurit and Dana Bartlett, with honorable mention for Miss Ethel Post and, Mrs. Alice Welster. Mr. Knowles had only one picture on exhibition yesterday, "Fairy Moon light," In which the idea Is cleverly conveyed. There is a true hazy indis tinctness which gives an elfin effect and conjures up the sprites of the cob. 11ns of one's youth, and yet there ie the rarity of atmosphere which brings out the distance so noticeabla at full moon. The coloring is soft and sooth ing and of great depth, tho varying lights n the water being cleverly por trayed. Mr. Knowles will have two more pic tures on view today. They are "Young America on His Way" and "The Light of the World." Both of these are con sidered fully the equal of his "Fairy Moonlight." o Woodland Scenes Show Merit. E. W. Hill, of Hood River, has four pictures, all of which possess individ uality and merit. They are woodland scenes, perhaps the best being "Winter In New England Woods." In this is shown a snow-covered road through the woods, the sun shining through the trees, and a woodcutter at work. He has secured his best light and shade effects ln this picture, for one can feel the very chill of the snow, de sjfite the brilliance of the sun. The trees are alive. Tho whole scene is " full of ife and full of natural color ing. Iu fact, the picture stands out as one of the best in the exhibition. His "Mount Hood at Sunrise" la a much larger wc-rk. Mr. Hill's other pictures are "A Brook Scene in Maine," full of the richness and warmth of a Summer's day, and "A Friendly Shelter," where the approach ing storm has driven deer to seek the " shelter of rock and tree. The works of Paul L. Loritz show more originality and more of the for eign school perhaps than any other. His picture of the Kootenai Landing la one of the best small pictures shown. It is full of natural coloring and haa all the earmarks of Individuality rath er than copying of a master without th individuality asserting itself too much. For so small a picture he con veys the distance of the river, the far clouds and the general air of rest and solitude delightfully. His "An Evening Scene" is very soft. Dana Bartlett has a pleasing study of the California desert, and his "Snow Capped Heights" conveys the id of distance in soft colorings. , . I.lBbt and Shade fortrayed Clevrly- For breath of life, clever portrayal of light and shade, and especially thw phades in the view beyond, Mrs. M. F. Woods' work deserves credit. ' One of her two pictures Is "The End of the Wood." with, the sun's rays Just glanc ing through here and there, bright sky and open landscape appearing through and beyond. There is the wlnj of March in this picture and the life of April and the glorious color of the fresh green after rain. "The Wlndltir Road" is very similar and equally good. Mrs. Woods also shows one of the best pieces of still life exhibited in her painting of a violin and old piece of music, in which the mustiness of pa-' per ln old age and the richness of Timo's coloring on the wood is brought out distinctly, yet softly. Another of the few good pieces of still life is that of "Grapes and Lich en." by Miss Ethel Post, where the dark shadows and the relief work gen erally is admirable. In her picture of Latourelle Kajls, Mrs. Alice Welster has undertaken an ambitious piece of work on account of the wealth of detail. Much of it is excellent to a degree. For those who like the ultra-impressionistic style, where colore gvo by theory rather than according to nature, there are the works of Clyde Leon Keller and others. In many of these (Concluded vor Jt'au 2.) i -j i o9.o : r- l
