Washington, May 8. A threat from
President Huerta to withdraw from
mediation and a recommendation from
Admiral Mayo for a landing at Tarn
pico to guard foreign oil properties
were acute developments today In the
Mexican crista.
Huerta'H note took the form of a
protest against the discretionary au
thority given to General Funston to
advance the American lines beyond
the Vera Cruz water works. The dic
tator Assorted that this amounted to
a violation of the terms of the armis
tice and practically intimated to the
mediators that he might break off ne
gotiations If his protest were disre
garded. Mayo' recommendation, according
to some reports, followed the burning
of two nil wells in the Tampico lields.
Whether or not this report was well
founded, it wan certain that foreign
oil men had lieen threatened and that
much foreign property was believed to
lc In danger.
American Vessels Stopped.

navy department today that President
Huerta jiad ordered that no American
vessel be permitted to clear from Ma
r.atlan. The message was dated yes

General Obregon, the rebel command
er, had agreed to the establishment of
a neutral zone In Mazatlan. He also
promised to protect noncombatants and
foreigners.
Admiral Howarfl'i message also de
clared that many Americans were in
' side the American lines and did not
care to leave.

Howard xald he planned to give, rtrrs
first Pacific Mall liner touching at Ma
zatlan a letter to the San Francisco
customs officials announcing th' order
o they may be guided accordingly.
Mexican vessels were likewise for
bidden to clear for American port.
The order Indicates that Huerta wishes
all trade between tn twar republics
topped.
Despite official denials, it was
learned today that Admiral Mayo had
asked, through Admiral Badger, for
United States troops to occupy the oil
territory about Tamplcp. Ho wanted
them solely for purposes of protection.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels sub
mitted a long report on the situation
when the cabinet met.

oni of them belonging to the Pearson
Interests, burned yesterday, and a del

emphatically that he ever gave the
Interview the Oregonian credited him
with in this morning's issue. Mayor W.
F. Matlock declares ho Is supporting
Dr. C. J. Smith for governor and that
he will continue to do so.
"Z gave no interview on the subject,"
said Mayor Matlock. "X left Pendleton
tor Alaska January 11, 1898, Just as
Sr. Smith took office, and Aid not
return here to live during his term as
mayor. X am a friend of Dr. Smith
and will always support him; but my
friendship is not because he has bees
an open town man. Sr. Smith is a
man who never patronizes saloons, and
has always been considered an oppo
nent of the whiskey elemsnt. X have
always considered him a law and ordsr
man not an open town man."
Judge J. A. Fee, quoted by the Or
egonian as criticising Dr. Smith, de
clares that Smith has always been
aligned with law and order Influences,
and says Smith was a supporter of
law-enforcement while he, Fee, was
mayor of Pendleton, when efforts were
made to suppress loose methods. Judge
Fee says Smith also supported T. G.
Hailey while mayor in his efforts to
eradicate gambling.
Iocal friends of Dr. Smith, indig
nant because of the Oregonian's at
tacks, plan a meeting tomorrow for
his defense. They declare the records
of the police court are no criterion as
to open-town conditions. During the
most wide-open and lawless periods,
police court records often show noth
ing of the sort.

Minnesota Objects
To Small Appraisal
Assistant Attorney General Insists
Weyerhaeuser Personal Properties
Art Greater Than $875,000 listed.
St. Paul, Minn., May 8. Assistant
Attorney General William Stevenson,
who has charge of the collection of
Minnesota's Inheritance taxes, was
planning today a thorough investiga
tion of the value of the estate left by
the late Frederick W. Weyerhaeuser,
the timber man.
As reported to the state authorities,
the estate represented only $875,000.
Ptevenson believes that Weyerhaeuser'
fortune rivaled that of John D. Rocke
feller, totalling somewhere between
$100,000,000 and 1300,000,000.
Either, said Stevenson, the late tim
ber magnate made vast gifts before
his death or the bulk of his holdings
were outside of Minnesota. He did not
think gifts made under such circum
stances would stand, and while he
agreed that the Weyerhaeuser prop
erties doubtless were widely scattered,
he doubted if $875,000 was all he
owned in his home state.
The executors will be allowed- three
months to list the properties, which
were left to the children.
