and 5th of July, ha smothered bis
ambition to become a birdman, and

Riddell, of this city, the Polk county
aviator who made several flights on
the Riddel! farm went of the city and
in lirant Pass recently, has sold his

Mr. Riddell, encountering danger
and expense, has decided to quit
aviation, and after delivering bis
machine to the purchaser la Califor
nia, will return to the farm here,
and assist as before lu the sheep,
goat, clover and grain raising busi
ness. While preparing his machine
for a flight one evening soma time
ago, west of this city, Mr. Hiddell
said:
"I don't expect to be In the flying
business long. Like many other per
sons, I wanted to learn Its opera
tion." Mr. Hiddell had Just graduated
from an aviation school In California
and met with success In flying, al
though be found condition lu this
section at times unfavorable for
tllghts. In one flight here he at
tained i5 miles an hour.
"An Interesting tale has develop

San Dieu. Aug. 7. Travel-tired
and wan from the effect of hardships
endured before they fled into the
I'nited States, 500 Mexican refugees
of both factions are in San Diego to
day, being placed on the military
reservation near Fort Roatcrana.
where they will be kept until con
ditions in their own country permit
their return.
The refugees arrived last night on
two sieclal trains from KI Paso, Tex.,
and Nogalea. Ariz. On the train
from Nogales, in charge of Captain
.McConnell. was Col. Kmilio Koster
llt.sky, Polish soldier of fortune, who
has seen much righting in Mexico.
Col. Francisco I. F.scabon was the
most prominent refugee in the KI
Paso train.
In San Diego the refugees are In
charge of Captain Page and Lieut.
Mi Cune of Fort Rosecrans. On the
reservation the refuees will be taught
many of the sanitary regulations ob
served by I'ncle Sam's soldiers. They
will live in army tents and will feed
on army rations. Things will be
made as comfortable as possible for
the women. The men, however, will
be expected to put up with nnetnbel--llshed
military life. In the bunch of
refugees are delegations of soldiers
for both elements In Mexico. As yet
they have shown no disposition to
carry their tight this side of the
line.

Washington. Aug. 7. Confronted
on the one hand by the announce
ment of President De Facto Huerta
of Mexico that John bind, President
Wilson's emissary to Mexico, will be
persona non grata unless he recog
nizes Huerta, and ou the other hand
by open opposition of a large section
of constitutionalists to Liud's mis
sion, the administration here today
is admittedly puzzled as to a way out
of an apparently Berioua situation.
The biggest suspicion is entertain
ed in administration circles that
Huerta is bluffing and this is not
unmixed with hope. Officials In
touch with the president and Secre
tary Hryan declare that Llnd's mis
sion is one about which Huerta has
nothing to say, nnd they profess not
to regard seriously suggestions that
I.lnd may not be allowed to proceed
to Mexico City.
President, Wilson and Secretary
Hryan held a long conference today
on the Mexican outlook. The em
bassy In Mexico City has reported at
great length and In confidence to
Hryan on the situation in the south
ern capital and while no official state
ment, was made, it is understood that
most of the business men of Mexico
City will welcome I.ind. hopeful that
he will be able to arrange some plan
by which the strife in the republic
will end.

"W'e are living now," he said,
"under the wage system. The free
wage worker is Infinitely better off
than the slave or the serf, but his
condition is far from ideal. He can
not employ himself. He can work
only when somebody ele will em
