UNHID PBESS LEASED WIRE.
Washington, Oct. 28. American in
tervention in Mexico seemed nearly in
evitable today. , Government officials
in the closest touch wih the administra
tion admitted as much openly.
Ooneral Folix Diaz's appeal for
American protection could not be disre
garded, it was said. Ho owned to Uni
ted States Consul Canada at Vera Cruz,
that his life was in dnngor and it would
have been inhuman to have refused him
admission to the consulate. Since he
-did not consider himself safe even
there, and it was felt he probably had
good grounds for fearing that his sanc
tuary would not be respected, there was
nothing to do but to put him on board
one of the American fighting vessels in
the harbor.
Will Not Be Surrendered.
Yot ' that the incident has gravely
complicated the situation was not de
nied. President lluerta was fully ex
pected to demand the fugitive's surren
der to him. He will not be surrender
ed, howevor, it wub- definitely stated.
Secretary of State Bryan today in
structed Admiral Flotcher, commanding
the American naval force at Vera Cruz,
to learn whore he wishes to go and ad
vise the state department. It was
thought likely ha would be taken to a
neutral port whore ho would be unmo
lested. On board the gunboat Wheeling, with
Diaz, were two of his followers, Cccoi-
lin Ocon and Jose Sandoval. They, too,
will be protected.
American Arrested. '
To aggravate the situation, the Vora
Cruz polico arrested an American, L,
Blum, who was one of Diaz's compan'
ions when ho landed horo from Havana.
He was accused of political offenses,

England had agreed to defer action in

Makes Escape Over Roofs.
Diaz's escape from tho German hotel,
where he had been staying, was not
even a dignified one. According to the
police report made to President Huerta,
ho climbed from a scuttle and over the
intervening roofs to the consulate.
His resignation as a brigadier-general
in the Mexican army had previously
been accepted by War Miniator Blan
quet.
Huerta announced that it would be at
least a mouth before tho official elec
tion returnB would not be in. This
meant hopeless confusion for at least a
month longer.
, May Become War Minister.
Rumors were current that Huerta
planned to declare Blanquet or ex-For-
eign Minister Uamuoa president, witn
hiniHclf as war minister. Blanquet and
Gamboa are both umlor his domination.
With tho troops undor his control, as
war minister, this domination would bo
complete The change would not im
prove the situation. It might make it
worse.
All reports indicated a growth of anti-American
fooling among Huerta 's fol
lowers. Intervention Possible.
Summing everything up, it wag hard
to Bee how intervention could be avoid-
od.
President Wilson outlined his policy,
in cane the United States is compelled
to intervene, pretty clearly in apfcoches
ho made in Philadelphia Saturday and
at Mobile yesterday.

When Mrs. Vaughn bogan her lecture
this afternoon at the armory, by ask
ing quite seriously the question "Why

became very wido awake. The most in
tonse interest was shown all through
the lecture on "Food and. Its Func

comprising almost every type of house
keeper and cook in Salem. There wore
present a number of domestic science
pupils and thoir teachers, who are al

Paving Company Must Put
Up $1,000 Bond
Its Promises
Tho scandal arising over tho alleged
botched job of paving made by tho
Clark-Henry company on Church street
has been temporarily, at least, hushed
by tho action of the company in agree
ing to make good for five years any de
fects "arising out of faulty workman
ship or material," and the passago by
the city council last night of a reso
lution authorizing payment of the
amount due tho contractor, when a
bond In the sum of (1000 to Insure the
carrying out of the promises la filed.
The company had glibly set forth that
it would be willing to make good the
defoets due to Inferior material or bad
workmanship, but it developed that
this was in no sense a promise to keep
the street in repair.
Councilman Brown Insisted on the
$1000 bond after Councilman Stolz,
chairman of tho street committee, had
argued in favor of settling with the
firm. Tho street committee had re
ported that an investigation of the
street had shown it to bo all right.
Tests of material had been made In
Portland, It was slnted. Ktol. stated
that whatever apprehenlon had existed
in regard to the street haildisappenred
since the paving had been investigated
hv competent authorities, lie had no
doubt thnt It wasis good a job as lni'l
been done ill the city.
City Attorney Pago objected to a
bond, saying it would be cottlv and the
company might not agree. Mary and
Brown could not see that there would
be any lawsuit and the bond would cost
not more than t'M pVr year.
The resolution authorizing payment
was paused carrying the bond require
