Cabinet Backs Wilson U. S. CARRANZA SAYS Europe Supports In Mexican Policy HALE CONFERS in Mexican Problem Oregon Apples Bring ARMS ONLY NEED ! WITH CARRANZA More Than Expected Rebel Leader States Position Plainly to Americans. Would Not Tolerate Outside Inter ference In Mexican Affairs— Conferences Continue. Nognlvs, Honora.—Before going Into William Bayard I lain. President Wilson's spe cial envoy, General Venustlano ( nr ran» made the moat explicit and def inite statement lie hue yet uttered with reference to Huerta, th* United Htntoa and thn (-onatltutlonullat revo-| lutlonnry movement, of which he Is the head. "We will accept no transactions,” h<> an Id, “nor the interference of any nation to regulate Mexico's Interior conditions." After the conference, which contin ued for two hours, Carranza was non committal. Envoy llale remained si lent, but It wna evident that the par leys begun Wednesday were not fin- • tailed. ('arrnnxn'a statement, however, re ferred to the negotiations with Wash ington and also to the suggestion from the kmsrican capital that further bloodshed might be avoided and peace j and order restored if the contending factions could got together through the American agents, Hale and Lind, and agree on a provisional president, acceptable to all, who would serve un til a chief executive was chosen at a full and free election. “The only thing which wo ask and which we are trying to obtain from the United Htatea 1s the free importa tion of arms Into Mexico." This was the final aentence of the statement which was given out as u final <!■•< inrntIon and, spoken alowly and with a studied choice of words. It had the effect of finality with regard to any proposition which required of the constitutionalists anything further than pledges that they would elimin ate Huerta in a abort time If allowed .il war munitions mid ••Htnl.llxli order and representative government within a reasonable time. a second oonferenee with DARWIN THEORY SHAKEN BY PREHISTORIC CRANIUM New York—Dr. J. Leon Williams, of fxmdon, an eminent authority on anthropology and geology, has arrived here from Liverpool with 15 skulls of prehistoric man, one of which he es timated to be 500,000 years old. This skull was found by workmen near Folkestone. lou-Und, In strata that dated back before the Pleistocene era and Its existence and discovery have confirmed Dr. Williams In the belief that mankind Is at least 500,000 years old. Dr. Williams said the finding of these ancient skulls and other human bones did not disprove, in his opinion, the Darwinian theory, but nltered It In some degree. Instead of man's be Ing a descendant of the ape, Dr. Wil liams said, these skulls tended to con firm the belief that the anthropoid ape was an off-sport of primitive man. I. W. Ws. Are Escorted Out of Florence, Or. Florence, Or —Citizens of Florence recently escorted nine Industrial Workers of the World, who had estab lished headquarters here, to a boat on which they took them to the mouth of the Rluslaw river nnd headed them north along the beach, with Instruc tion* to “keep going." There was no disorder In town after the boat had departed. The I. W. W. members came to Florence about two weeks ago and rented a room, which wns used as headquarters. A meeting wna held and I. W. W. speeches were made. Citizens decided to await develop ments. nnd lenmed the organization Intended to bring 100 members to Florence. A meeting of citizens was held and It WtlH decided flint the I W. W. lu"III qunrters would not bo tolerated. Two hundred citizens cnlled at headquar ters nt 11 A. M. and Informed the I. W. W. scouts they were not wanted In the city, requested them to go nnd bo out by 11:45 A. M. The members were remitted rent for the room, paid for the furniture they had bought and furnished with food and money for travel. 7-Story Building Falls.

C.—United support from the great powers abroad for the American policy toward Mexico, shown In a variety of quiet diplomatic activities, gave President Wilson and Secretary llryHn confidence Haturday that the elimination of General Huer ta ua provisional president of Mexico soon would be an accomplished fact. That the financial blockade Insti tuted by the United Htates had effec tively tied the purse strings of Europe, Hint diplomatic pressure was being exerted on all aides at Mexico City, thut clone friends of Huerta were ap plying their influence and persistent reports saying Huerta had gone Into mysterious seclusion combined to raise the hopes of the Washington government that definite progress toward solving the Mexican problem was being made. An exchange of cablegrams with Ambassador Puge, an agreement by Great Britain to leave the solution of the Mexican problem in the hands of the United Htatea and an announce- ’ rnent that no moral or financial sup port would be granted by England to , the Huerta regime, set forth In Ix>n- don pr.-MH dlHpatchea, ( rested a favor able Impression throughout official Washington. It waa felt that Great Britain, France, Germany and other nations now stood together In acquiescence to , the plan of the United States for the , elimination of Huerta. President Wilson had prepared a statement of the situation, outlining , the communications presented by Charge O'Shaughnessy and John Lind, I..it within a few hours such favor-: able advlcea had been received as to cause the president to withhold the document from publication. Hood River—At a board of directora' meeting of the Apple Growers’ associ ation it waa learned that the prices to growers are going to exceed expecta tions. H. H. Davidson, president of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, said: “Our sales manager, Mr. Sieg, sub mitted a statement to the directors at their meeting showing 195 cars ship ped prior to November 1, which netted back to growers the sum of $86,754.96, which is an average of a little more than $1.50 a box for all cars, which included extra fancy, fancy, special, choice and cooking grades. “The last big price year was in 1909, when Hood River sent out leas than 150 care total, with an average price for all grades and varieties not exceeding the record this year, and our sales manager now has unfilled orders on his desk for more cars than he shipped prior to November 1, at as good and even better prices. “Last season was disastrous, and growers in Hood River, as well as in the entire Northwest lost confidence and developed into chronic kickers. But the same fellows who could not avert last year’s disaster are doing a work this season which far more than offsets last year’s deal.” Mr. Davidson has gone East and will stop at points in Idaho and at Denver and Chicago, makng a survey of market conditions. Oregon Horticulturists Prepare Fine Program Washington D. C.—President Wil son's cabinet stands firmly behind him In his efforts to force the retire ment of Provisional President Huerta as a necessary step to the pacification of Mexico. For more than two hours the cabinet discussed Thursday every phase of the Mexican situation. The concensus of opinion was that the United States should not take a single backward step in its programme to restore constitutional government in Mexico. It became known that all the sec retaries favored steps which would convince Huerta that the United States was In earnest in its demands. Home of the cabinet members recog nized in the lifting of the embargo on arms a practical and perhaps early solution of the difficulty, but there waa no final decision on the point. There is a hope on the part of the president and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permitting ex portations of arms may not be re quired to solve the problem. In fluences are at work which, in the opinion of many officials, may force the early collapse of the Huerta re gime. There is a closer understand ing and more frequent communication between the state department here and foreign governments generally than has been in evidence at any time since the Mexican problem came so widely international. Through ambassadors abroad and through the diplomatic corps in Wash ington, Secretary Bryan is giving such detailed information of the American policy as to leave no doubt of what the United States wishes accomplish ed. So far as is known tbers have been no direct requests for foreign support, but the strong intimations that the United States would like for eign nations to refrain completely from interference In the affairs of the Huerta government are expected to produce tangible results. What the United States Is seeking is an acquiescence In its policy by the powers, such an approval to carry with it discouragement of financial aid to the Huerta regime through for eign channels. A few week« of finan cial isolation, it is believed by high officials here, will force the retire ment of Huerta. Rebel Leader Welcomes Presi dent’s Representative.
