WARNS AUERTA Would “View With Displeas- ure” Harm to Deputies. NO CHANGE IN ATTITUDE Washington Abandons Hope of a Fair and impartial Election in Mexico or of Treating Any Further With Huer. ta as an Individual. Weshington, Oct. 14—After a con- ference between Secretary Bryan and President Wilson it was announced at the White House that telegrams had been dispatched to both John Lind at | Vera Cruz and Charge O’Shaughnes- sy at Mexico City to make representa- tions to the Huerta government that the United States would look with | displeasure upon any injury to the| | Mexican deputies now under arrest. | It has been left entirely to Mr. Lind’s discretion whether he should | return to Mexico City to impress those views on the Mexican authori | ties, but Charge O’Shaughnessy has | been directed to address himself to | the minister of foreign relations and | make it plain that the United States | attaches “the gravest importance” to arrest of deputies and is keenly inter- | ested in what will be their fate. | President Wilson told callers that | with the present state of affairs he | | did not see how a constitutional elec- | tion could be held in Mexico. | No Settlement in Sight. The government here practically | | has abandoned all hope of seeing an| | election or treating any further with | Huerta as an individual. There is a disposition in administra- | tion circles to await the course of | events with the hope that the factiona! | lines so tightly will be drawn as to bring about a national adjustment without outside interference. “My opinion is that there can be no constitutional election in Mexico un- der existing circumstances,” said Sen- ator Bacon, chairman of the foreign | relations committee, after a confer- ence with President Wilson at the | White House. The senator said he had not dis- cussed that phase with the president but that it was obvious that with the arrest of the deputies and the disso- lution of congress no one would dare to take issue with Huerta and that there could be no free expression of the will of the people. MAY PURCHASE MOTORCYCLE Congress Refuses to Furnish Auto for Vice President. Washington, Oct. 14.—Visitors to | the Ca:itol soon may be treated to| | the sig't of Vice President Marshall scooting: up Pennsylvania avenue to the Ca.jitol on a motorcycle. The vice president had laughingly told friends that he might purchase such a machine since congress saw fit- to refuse to authorize the purchase of | an automobile for his use. An appro- priation for the purchase of cars for the vice president and the speaker of the house was stricken out of the urgent deficiency Dill. “I’ve still got the street cars and walking is good,” Mr. Marshall told friends. “T haven’t got much money, but if the time came when I thought I ought | to have a machine I might be able to scrape together enough to buy one for myself. Automobiles are a little | highfalutin’, though, but motorcycles are cheap, aren’t they?” COUNT DI CELLERE NAMED New Italian Ambassador to the Unit- ed States. Rome, Oct. 14—Count Macchi df Cellere was appointed Italian ambas- sador at Washington in succession to the Marquis Cusani Confalonieri, re- called at his own request. Count di Cellere was minister to Argentine from 1907 until 1912, and before that was private secretary suc- cessively to Tommaso Tittoni, Mar- quis A. de San Guiliano and Count Guicciardini when they held the post of minister for foreign affairs. MUCH TO BE DONE AT CANAL Immense Amount of Detail Work Re- mains Unfinished. Chicago, Oct. 14—While the spec- tacular part of the work of building the Panama canal has been completed there still is an immense amount of detail work to be done, according to Ray L. Smith, chief of the appoint- ment division of the canal commis- sion, who has arrived here. The commissioner's visit is for the purpose of obtaining the services of pbish class electrical workers. The ‘canal will be operated by electricity. Posse Surrounding Negro. Williamson, W. Va., Oct. 14.—A posse of 200 citizens of this place has sur- rounded in the Kentucky mountains across the Tug river from her a negro who shot and killed Deputy Albert Buty when the latter tried to arrest him. This was the third murder of white men by negroes in the last few months. The Voice With the Smile Wins Good tclephone service depends largely upon mutual courtesy.

RESCUE VESSEL TELLS OF HORROR Sends Wireless Story of Volturno Disaster. HELPLESS IN HEAVY SEAS When the Grosser Kurfuerst Reached the Scene Flames From the Hold of the Burning Vessel Were Leap- ing Eighty Feet Into the Air. Cape Race, Oct. 14.—With 105 sur- vivors on board from the steamship Volturno, burned to the water’s edge during a gale in mid-Atlantic and ebandoned on Friday last, the Gros- ser Kurfuerst is approaching New York. The passengers and crew of the Grosser Kurfuerst witnessed some thrilling scenes when their vessel, called by distress signals from the Volturno, arrived in her vicinity. “We found the Volturno burning fiercely and her crew and passengers kelpless in the heavy seas,” the ship says. It was learned by wireless messages from the flaming vessel that the fire had been started by an ex- plosion in the forward hold at 7 o’clock on Thursday morning, ship’s time. On the arrival of the Grosser Kur- fuerst, the flames from the hold of the Volturno were leaping eighty feet into the air through the hatchways. It was learned that fifty or more of the Volturno’s crew and steerage pas- sengers had been killed by the ex- plosion and the fire. Altogether twelve liners were brought by the wireless distress sig- nals within hail of the Volturno. The Cunard liner Carmania was the first of these. She reached the scene at about 12 o’clock noon. Then followed the Seydlitz, the Grosser Kurfuerst, the Kroonland, the New York, the Devonian, La Touraine, the Narragansett, the Minneapolis, the Asian, the Rappahannock and the Czar. The sea was running too high to allow the taking off of the Volturno’s passengers when the rescuing ves- sels came on the scene. Panic Among Passengers. During the day time the flames from the hold of the Volturno were kept more or less under control, but jabout 9 p. m. Thursday the fire reached the coal bunkers and it was found necessary to close the bulk- head. The pumps thereupon were unable to work at full pressure and the flames broke out through the en- tire forward part of the vessel. At 9:40 p. m. Thursday another ex- plosion occurred on the Volturno and caused a panic among her despairing passengers and crew. The Grosser Kurfuerst launched three boats and rescued thirty-two persons who had been washed into the sea. One of the rescuing life~ boats was out for six hours and was nearly lost. All those remaining on board the after end of the vessel were taken off safely after daybreak on Friday. Second Officer Lloyd of the Voltur- no was one of the heroes of the dis- aster. He fell from a height of twen- ty feet while repairing the wireless apparatus on board his vessel, but continued to fight the fire all day and at 7 o’clock in the evening made a perilous trip to the Grosser Kurfuerst in a small boat with three others: from the Volturno. The little craft was sinking when she was picked up by one of the life- boats from the Grosser Kurfuerst. The total number of those saved is believed to be 523. BIG INCREASE IN CAPITAL Hamburg-American Line Preparing for Panama Canal. Hamburg, Germany, Oct. 14.—The directors of the Hamburg-American line announced that they proposed to increase the capital of the company by $7,500,000. The proposal is de- clared to be due to the necessity of largely increasing the company’s fleet of freight carrying vessels in view of the opening of the Panama canal and the establishment of a new Oriental service. Strike on “Katy” Road Probable. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 14.—Strike of tele- graph operators over the entire Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas railway sys- tem is threatened, general officers of the road said. The men want a ten- hour day, 10 per cent wage increase and overtime. HE man in the bed is not enjoying his rest after a hard day's work, as he should. If he were sleep- ing on one of our STEARNS & FOSTER Mattresses he would be resting much eas- ier than appearances indicate. Devoting perhaps one-third of his time to sleep, he could well afford to rest on the best Mattress made, and there is nothing better than the Stearns & Foster. Tell Him About it When He Wakes. GEO.
