President Wilson Warns the
Country Against Wave of
Patriotism That Might En
gender Enthusiasm for War
Washington, April 20. President
Wilson revived the nWpaper corre
spondents here today immediately after
conferring with 8ecretary Bryan, fol
lowlni hie return from White Sulphur
Springs. -
fie did not believe the mass of Mex
icans Would support Iluerta. he said,
but he made It plain he Intended to
compel the dictator to reepeot Ameri
can honor and dignity. He was going
to lay the case before congress this
afternoon. The issue, he declared, was
one between the United States and a
person calling himself provisional
president of Mexico a. person, how
ever, whom the United States has re
fused to recognise and never will rec
ognize. The president added that he Was un
enny because he was afraid the United
Ktaten was being engulfed in a wave
of patriotism which would engender
an enthusiasm for war. He Was not
enthusiastic for war, he told his visit
ors, but he did intend that America's
honor and dignity should be respected,
regardless of cost.
However, said the chief executive,
the situation need not lead to war.
The United States, he reminded his
hearera, has often enforced Its de
mands by blockades and has even bom
barded and destroyed towns without
formally declaring war. This encour
aged the president to believe that,
after congress had authorized them,
-he could take steps to drive Huerta
from his ponition of defiance without
a declaration of hostilities.
He Impressed on the newspaper men
that he did not want them to get the
Impression that there was any inten
tion of fighting the Mexican people.
The events of a day or an hour, the
president said, might change the situ
ation, and ho was making his plans,
accordingly, hour by hour.
In affect, he declared that what he
wanted from Huyta was full recog
nition of the honor and dignity of the
United States, together with adequate
guarantees that such things as the
Tamplco Incident would not again
occur.
The president remarked that his
Mexico City advices were to the effect
that the foreign diplomats there were
tirglng'Hucrta to yield.
The army and navy, he raid, would
he held in check, awaiting develop
ments. Baa Hot Lost Patleno.
One thing he especially, urged the
correspondents to remember that the
administration has not lost patience
and that to lose patience would be a
weakness.
AS he sees the Mexican situation,
th president said, if incidents like the
one at Tamplco are disregarded mat
ters must go from bad U WOrse until
armed conflict Of nations would re
sult Because of this and In the In
terests of peace and not of war, he
determined to call a halt at all
naaards.
m This alone, he concluded, was the
spirit In which the administration was
acting.
His declaration was considered as
one of the most remarkable ever made
by an American president. It put the
chief executive on record as a peace
advocate. It also made plain his view
that a rigid blockade of the Mexican
coast Is demanded by the situation.
GENERAL WOOD WOULD
LEAD INVASION IF IT
BECOMES NECESSARY
(Continued From Page One)
He was a physician and army surgeoi,
a man of extraordinary personal mag
netism. Roosevelt picked him as an
ldead type of commander. Personally,
he and Wood were cronies. Wood rodj
horseback like a centaur; so did Roose
velt. The Rough Riders waxed fam
ous after Santiago, and Wood also. He
was called into the regular army, and
went aneac uy leaps and bounds. His
rapid promotion was the cause of con
siderable comment in the army, and
was accentuated by the old fight be-"
tween the "line and staff." As a sur
geon in the army. Wood Was of the
staff faction. His rise to power made
the West Pointers and others of the
"line" faction peevish. But most of
thetn were today willing to admit that
tha "physician" has done more for the
army in hla four years as chief of
staff than any other one Individual.

nounced. It was known that, from
some quarters, the president had been
urged to recognize the constitutional
tsts' belligerency.
It was also reported that he had
Deen strongly urged to hand his pass
ports to Charge d Affaires Algara, of
the Mexican embassy here, telling him
mai ne is no longer considered part of
diplomatic Washington.
Secretary of State Bryan would not
comment on these reports that Agara
might be given his passports, but it
was understood no such action was
likely at present Algara furnished
the state department with complete
copies of all the correspondence and
negotiations yesterday between Charge
a Airairee o snaughnessy and Mexican
Foreign Minister Bojas. They did not
differ from those already in the de
partments hands. .
Secretary Bryan was authority for
tna statement that the cabinet meeting
At . v.
did not consider any effort by Presi
dent Huerta to reopen negotiations
with the Washington administration,
for tha reason that no such effort had
been made the situation remained ab
solutely unchanged.
Neither. Bryan said, dia the meeting
discuss the question of closing the
United States legation In Mexico City,
though American consuls had been in
structed to notify Americans to leave
Mexico Immediately. ,
Instructions were sent to Admiral
Fletcher to arrange for aiding Ameri
cans in Vera Crux, where 91 per cent
of those who are leaving Mexico City
will embark. If Fletcher cannot char
ter . enough ships others Wilt be sent
and if necessary those of the Panama
railroad will be used.
The president was hopeful all Amer
icans would be out Of the country by
Wednesday. Most of the women and
children have already left.
Huerta's final attempt to force the
United States' recognition through a
protocol was regarded as. a graver in
sult than even tne Tamplco inciaeni,
since it was interpreted as meaning
that America cannot be trusted to keep
its word, given by Admiral Mayo to
return a Mexican salute of the stars
anil Strloes.
France, Germany and England have
already offered to care diplomatically
for American interests In Mexico. It
was thought the honor would go to
France.
- The powers were notified officially
of the United States' break with Mex
ico, and it was said all gave their un
qualified approval.

the United States and Mexico," he said,
'but tonight I have very, very bad
news. I have lost nope or a settle
ment. We cannot come to terms with
the Washington administration."
Later the minister received all the
American newspaper representatives
In .the city. His face was drawn and
careworn.
'I have tried to be as good as pos
sible to you newspaper boys," he told
his callers, "and I hope we will con
tinue friends whatever happens."
Hojas then issued a formal state
ment to the effect that It was impos
sible for Mexico to yield to the Wash-
ngton demands.
'We have yielded as much as dig
nity will permit," he said, "and trust
to the fair mlndedness and spirit of
ustice in the American people.
"Do you feel that the American peo
ple and the American government are
two different things?" asked the
United PreBS representative.
"Yes," replied Rojas, "the governed
and the government are always two
separate elements in every nation.
Sometimes the people do not agree
with their government. I believe tile
American people will treat Mexico
fairly, now that they know the facts."
No editorial comment on the interna
tional situation was permitted in to-
day'sapers. It was stated that For
elgn Minister Rojas conducted the ne
gotiations with Charge d' Affaires
O'Sha'ughnessy, President Huerta tak
ing no personal part. According to
the papers there was still hope of a
settlement. O'Shaughnessy had noth
ing to say.
Famous IrishTenor
Thomas Egan, the renowned Irish
tenor, is sure to draw thousands of
lovers of Irish music to the Masonic
Temple, West Park and Yamhill
streets, Sunday, April 26, at 3 o clock.
It will be the greatest Irish concert
ever given on the .coast. Kgan sings
the songs of Erin beater than any liv
ing vocalist. Though he is not yet SO

Opera company of Drury Lane, one of
tha most famoua opera companies In
the world. !
Both Kgan's voice and spirit are

Green." "The Minstrel Boy." "O'Don
nell Adoo," "Let Erin Remember,"
"The Irish Emigrant," or any of the
famous songs that thrill the Irish

CONGRESS LISTENS IN
SILENCE AS WILSON
TELLS OF
When He Mentions Insistence
on Salute of Flag the Mem
bers Applaud Words.
Washington, April 20. Before Presi
dent Wilson appeared in the house to
make his address on Mexico every avail
able inch of space was occupied. A
score of diplomats were present. Sec
retary of State Bryan had a seat on
the floor of the house. He crossed and
uncrossed his arms and fingered his
l'.ps nervously. Mrs. Wilson was in
the front seat of the president's gal
lery. The lawmakers chatted In low
tones. Congressmen Underwood, Mur
dock, Mann, Flood and Fitzgerald held a
whispered conference.
There was a burst of applause when
the president appeared, the "rebel
yell" of the southern members sound
ing clearly over the deeper toned
chorus of their northern colleagues.
The moment the executive opened
his lips to speak silence fell upon the
assemblage. The lawmakers leaned
forward in their seats and strained
their ears to catch every syllable. The
sound of a scuffling foot or a smoth
ered cough was as fllsUnct as a rifle
shot.
Th first applause, except for tha
outburst at his entrance, came when
the president detailed tha instructions
he gave, Insisting on the salute of the
flag. It waa fainter when ha de
clared that. If war resulted, it would
be against Huerta only. The address
concluded, the entire audience stood up
and clapped hands, but there was no
vocal demonstration. Then as the ex
ecutive took his departure, there went
up a buzs of excitement.
"The president informs me," said
Congressman Underwood, a moment
later, "that it la most important that
action be taken on his request today.
X ask all members of the house to re
main until the resolution is presented."
Meanwhile the foreign affairs com
mittee was preparing the resolution.
Secretary Bryan remained In the diplo
matic gallery. Most of the other speo
tators left.

Obstacles Not Great,
Says Captain Biddle
Former Army Officer Anticipates STo
Barlows filffloultles Will Confront
American Troops la Case of Invasion.
"I anticipate no carious obstacles to
our troops In their advance toward
Mexico City. The railroads will carry
all necessary supplies. Any collision
with Huerta or Villa Is negligible to
our army, composed of regular troops
and National Guard, trained, disciplined
and ready. Said Captain William S
kiddie of Portland, who served S 7 years
as an officer In the army of the United
States and participated for a year In a
campaign Against Apache Indians under
Chief Geronimo along the northern bor
der of Mexico until their surrender to
General Miles. This was during tha
years 1S85-6.
Among other participants was First
Lieutenant and Surgean Leonard Wood,
since risen to chief of staff.
"The difficulties we encountered
were natural to a desert and sparsely
settled country, arising from scarcity
of water and lack of easy and quick
transportation for necessary field ma
terial and the Fabian evasiveness of
the enemy," continued Captain Biddle,
These obstacles I have mentioned will
occur again In tha later phases of any
campaign in Northern Mexico when the
times comes to hold the country."

Suggestion Made That Each Show
KTame Committee of Three Tot Con
ference With Deputy City Attorney
By failure of the last, legislature to
make specific provision as to what
disposition shall he made of county
fair funds provided for. the problem
of deciding what the legislature inr
tended was put up to the county com
missioners this morning. Representa
tives of the Multnomah County Fal
association, which holds annual fairs
at Greshairk and of the Land Show,
wnicn neia a show in Portland tw
years ago, appeared to urge t as claims
of each to the $6009 to be distributed,
The Gresham advocates said they
need the entire sum, and suggeste-l
that the land show be held at Gresham
with the county fair. Th land show
people were willing to split the luii.l.
or to have a combination if the Gra
ham show would move to Portland
The Land Bliow boosters suggested
that the Gresham people be given
11000 of the fund to go with the S0OO
provided in the budget, which wouM
give 14000, the amount equalling th
1 4ooo remainder of 'the fund, which
thay asked for themselves.
Deputy District Attorney Collier
gave his opinion upon reading the
statute that the $5000 tnut go to one
fair, and will look up that question,
and also as to whether the fair board
of the Gresham show would constitute
a county fair board In the meaning of
the law. The commissioners suggested
that each show appoint a committee of
three to agree if possible regarding th - i
fund and to confer with Deputy Col
lier. John Beall, C. C. Chapman and R.
W. Raymond were spokesmen for the
Land Show, and II. A. Lewis and J. J.
Johnson led the discussion for the
Gresham people. The law provides for
a one twentieth mill tax, but limits the
fund to 110,000. It provides that in
Multnomah county 15000 of that
amount shall go to the Pacific Inter
national Livestock exposition. Last
vear the Gresham people received
12600, and the remaining $2500 revert
ed to the road fund, when the Land
Show failed to make use of it. The
money is to be used exclusively for
premiums, exclusive of horse racing.

tioa of Woman.
In a deoislon given in the federal
court today. United States District
Judge R. S. Bean rebuked the Portland
office of the United States Immigra
tion Service for far fetched measures
used by officials of the department
in forcing the issue of a deportation
warrant for a Chinese woman known
as Chin Yu Glm, and ordered her re
lease. She has been held for deportation
and a warrant -to take her away had
already been ordered. The woman was
arrested In a big raid conducted by
city police officers in November. The
immigration statutes allow an alleged
undesirable alien's attorneys to repre
sent them in hearings, but Judge Bean
said at this hearing the attendance of
the attorney was not allowed, and
that the main grounds of the deporta
tion order, were upon statements of
two police officers, taken by the act
ing Immigration inspector when neither
the woman nor her lawyer were pres
ent. CARVER TAKES FRANCHISE

chise. Formal acceptance has been filed

thoritative statements as to when the
