RUERTA WARNED
 BY PRES. WILSON
Informed That United States Would Look With Displcasure Upon Any Injury 10 Mexican Deputies
 Now Under Arrest.

Washington, Oct. l3.-After a con- ference between Secretary Bryan and President Wilson today, it was announced at the White House that telegrams had been dispatched to both John Lind at Vera Cruz and Charge O'Shaughnessy at Mexico City 10 make representations to the Huerta government that the United States would look with dispieasure upon any injury to the. Mexican deputies now under arrest
 II had been left entirely to MT. Lind's discretion whether he should return to Mexico City to impress those views upon the Mexican au- thorities, but Charge O'Shaughnes- sy has been directed to address himself to the minister of foreign relations and make it plain that the United States attaches the great est importance" to the arrest of the deputies and is keenly inter- ested in their fate.
 Hands OR' Policy Still Stands.
 President Wilson told callers to- day that with the present state of affairs he did not see how a consti- tutional election could take place in Mexico. So far as the immediate policy of the United States is con- cerned. it was made known by the President today that there would be no departure from the original po- sition that the Mexicans settle their own affairs. There are no plans today for any increases in the num- Der of American warships in Mexi- can waters.
 The government here has practi- cally abandoned all hope of seeing an election or treating any further with Huerta as an individual but to wait the course of events.
 Cabinet Talks on Mexico.
 Washington, Oct. li.-Copies of a proclamation issued today by Huer- ia, announcing himself as dictator over Mexico, were received at the state department today, and ronsid- cred at the cabinet meeting at the White House. Huerta declared sus- pended that provision of the con- stitution which grants immunity from arrest to members of the con- gress. and announces he will from time to time issue executive de- crees because of the dissolution CT the congress.

ionabIe wedding were varied some
what in the bridal couples choice of
attendants, for the brides mother,
Mrs. George Guild, was her matron of
honor, and her father was DR.. Weld
ling's best man. In fact, Mr.. Guild
performed the double duty of attend
ing the bridegroom and giving his
daughter in marriage.

trouble. They evolved plan by
which friction in the cabinet circle is
to be avoided by having the wives of
the cabinet officers ranged from Mrs.
Wilson's table in the same position
that their husbands occupy in the
cabinet room. Mrs. Clark, however,
was to have been placed at Mrs. Will
sons left, Mrs. Bryan occupying the
honor place at the right hand of Mrs.
Wilson.
The principal criticism leveled at
the committee having the affair in
charge is that the breakfast, instead
of being a Democratic affair, will in
clude women whose husbands are of
every shade of political faith. There
has been much criticism also over the
failure of the committee to provide a
hall large enough to seat all who de-
sire to attend. The invitation list now
is limited to $50, while more than
1900 women expressed a desire to at
tend the welcome to the wives of the
