PRESIDENT OFF
 FOR MOBILE, ALA,
ENJOYS AN OUTING AT SWATH- MORE COLLEGE AND MAKES SPEECHES IN PHILA.
 DEEPHIA
Will Keep in Touch With Mexican Situation Through the State
 Department

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 25.-Throwing aside the cares of the delicate Mexican situation, President Wilson journeyed to Philadelphia today made two ad- dresses, planted tree in the classic shade of Swathmore College and en- joyed himself in the manner of his old professoriar days. Tonight he is on his way to Mobile, Ala, where he will deliver an address to the South ern Commercial Congress Monday mroning
 eff president pays too much at- tention to be reelected it is diffi- cult for him to be worth re-electing" de declared in his address at the dedi- cation of the restored Congress Hall in Philadelphia. "I hear great many people at Fourth of July celebrations shiver a the plain language of our bills of rights" he added. mot only to establish but to alter in the funda- mental principle of self-government. A president is apt to think that the comparatively small number of per- sons, numerous as they seem to be when they are swarm, who come to Washington to ask for things do not constitute an important proportion of the population of the country? Un- less a man gets these contracts with the people of the country he grows weaker and weaker. He needs them as Hercules needed the touch of moth CT earth"
 Speaker Champ Clark delivered a brilliant address, in which he declar- ed that the task of the Twentieth Gen. tury was to devise some scheme by which there would be more equit- able distribution of wealth.
 At Swathmore, President Wilson de- lisered characteristic collegiate ad- dress, urging the student body to as- pire to the ideals of William Penn, in whose honor Founders Day at Swath- more was celebrated The President reached Philadelphia from Swathmore at 6:30 o'clock and reached Washing ton en route South at 1O:30 o'clock. President Wilson was undecided up to late hour this afternoon as to whether it was advisable for him to make the trip to Mobile owing to the exigencies of the Mexican situation.
 He has made arrangements to have every detail of the Mexican election, to be held tomorrow, conveyed to him from the State Department

COLD WEATHER WILL
 BE HERE MONDAY

Pine Bluff is due for a cold spell about Monday. There is an area of low pressure west of here that was responsible for the warm weather yes terday, but behind it there Is a high barometer and low temperatures that are expected to reach here some time during the next 48. hours. This does not necessarily mean that cold wave is coming, but there will be enough drop in temperature to show that thin part of the State >is still within the frost boundaries.

 Special Envoy John Lind, Charge
 FAffairs O'Shaughnessy and every
 onsular official in Mexico have been
 Instructed to report the events of to- borrow and the outlook of the State Department.
 1 While is has become known that he Presidents policy of insisting hat the European powers shall not Interfere in Mexico is disapproved
 y certain State Department officials,
 is interesting to note that Senator Bacon, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in dis fussing the Mexican situation to- lay in Philadelphia. strongly up- keld the Presidents policy, saying: "The interests of the United States In Mexico are infinitely sjreater han those of the other great powers f the earth. The sending of war Dips by other governmsnts--isL isL recog- hized policy in cases of great dis order, where the subjects are citi- lens of country having great in- Eerests which need protection. I you'd not dispute the right under or linary conditions to land marines Wherever needed for the protection of personal property, but I think it would be iaadvisable under the pres mt circumstances for them to land marines in Mexico,z because that night lead to unfortunate complica- i0ns."
 Those who oppose, the Presidents 'tand, declare that it is extremely dangerous at the present time became he whole diplomatic corps in Mexi- 2 City, led by Great Britain, seems llsposed to accept the result of to- norrow's election, whether a new resident is elected or Huerta linches his own hold on the office the guise of dictator.
 fAdvices received from Mexico City ocay indicated fhat the situation aere Is extremely tense and that here are possibilities of serious dis urDances tomorrow, despite the fact nat police and troops are patroling ne streets in anticipation of an out reak
 Huerta's declaration that neither e' nor Banquet will be candidates { accept election, appears to be Unified by reports that ballots caring the names of both Huerta ma Banquet have been circulated

Popular Official of Cotton Belt Succumbs to Injuries
 Sustained Wednesday
ARM WAS INFATUATED
Had Been In Cotton Belt. Service Since 1904 and Was An Efficient
 Railroad Man.

J. M. Gaunt, roadmaster for the Cotton Belt, who was struck by an engine at Sorrells last Wednesday morning about 30 and whose left arm was amputated as d result of the accident, died yesterday after- noon at Davis Hospital at 1:30 o'clock. When the accident occur red MT. Gaunt was inspecting some work being done on the main line at Sorrells, and it was because of this work that it became necessary to run trains over the side track at that point. TEe section foreman opened the switch to permit No. -15, south bound freight, in charge of Conduc- tor George Hamilton and Engineer Will Graves, to pass through on the swith.
 Mr. Gaunt was walking down the main line of the track with his back to the train, and evidently believing that the train was coming down the main line, stepped off the track aud on to the end of the cross ties on the side track, when the pilot beam of the locomotive struck him, crushing the left arm from near the shoulder to the elbow and throwing him heavily to the gound.
 The engine and caboose was de- tached and the injured man placed aboard and hurried to this city. where he was met by an ambulance and hurried to the hospital. The, company surgeon amputated the arm at o'clock Wednesday night and reports from the hospital up to the time of death were not favorable. Mir. Gaunt was B years of age and was born in Detroit, Michigan. He was married to Miss Genevene Barkham on September 10, 1885. at Saginaw, Michigan, who. with four, children, Mrs. J. K. Potter. Misses Mabel and Milderd and Harry survive him. MT Gaunt had'been with the Cots ton Belt railroad in various posi-. tions since 1904, and was considered one of the best msnsiha the services He was member of the Masonic lodge at Monroe, Louisiana, and an honored member of Albert Pike Con< sistory, of Little Rock.
 In his younger days MT. Gaunt was identified with the construction of the Canadian Pacific railroad, being superintendent of construction, and later on becoming superintendent of maintai1ance for that company, and has held responsible positions on various railroads from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, and in the West as far as Seattle and San Francisco.

NEGRO IS KILLED AT HIS OWN DOOR John Williams Plunged In to His Home and
 Died
ASSASSIN ESCAPE D
Woman In the -NeighbOrS Heard Quarrel and Then Two
 Shots.

John Williams, A, negro fireman at the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber COmpany's plant, was assassinated by an unknown person last night at 9 o'clock at some point near the gate leading to his home, at West Third avenue and Spruce street. Two shots were fired, according to William S wife, one of which took effect Tn the negro's breast just to the right of the center, and few inches below the neck, and judging from the clean cut hole in the shirt and underwear, was probably a 32 calibre steel jacketed bullet.
 Joseph Dillon, an aged negro, who. with his wife, lives in the next house to the Williams negroes, stated to a Graphic reporter who hurried to the scene immediately after the report of the shooting was telephoned to head quarters, with Constable E. E. Par nell, that a few seconds before he heard the shots fired, he heard voices near the Williams home, followed by the shots in quick succession and a terrible noise immediately following the reports. He thought that Will Hams and his wife were having a fight and remarked to his wife that he was going to request them to vacate the house, which is owned by Dillon.
 Williams wife stated that the first she heard were the shots, followed by her husband plunging headlong through the front door. A boy about 15 years of age, son of the dead man, rushed to the front of the house and seeing his father lying face down ward on the floor in puddle of blood, asked the man if he was shot, to which Williams replied, "Yes," with almost his last breath.
 The Williams woman stated that she and the dead man had not been get ting along agreeably for some time and that she had talked with an at torney about securing a divorce from Williams, because of his infatuation for a negress, Cornelia Williams, who lives on Linden street. The negro neighbors near the home stated that a strange negro had been coming to the house where the dead negro lived during the day for some time, and when Williams was away from home, and it is a theory that perhaps Will Hams surprised this negro in his home last night on his return from the city and that the negro shot him in escap- ing.
 The police are working on the the l ory of "a woman in the case," and from statements of the dead negro's wife and the statements made by the negro neighbors, they are probably on the right track.
 The screen door was torn loose and the center bar broken, which is sup posed to have happened when Will Hams rushed into the house after be- ing shot. The coroner was notified and instructed the body be brought to the city, which was done by a To- cal undertaking concern. The inquest will be held this morning at the Hol- derness Undertaking Company's shoT on West Second avenue.
