VERA CRUZ, Mexico, oct. 25.-General
Felix Diaz today received request
from the Mexican government to proceed
at once 10 the federal capital. Colonel
Manuel vidaurrazaga. secretary to the
Mexican minister of war. arrived here on
a special train with the invitation. which
was practically an order for Diaz to ac-
company him to Mexico City.
Unless General Diaz alters his inten-
tions he will not return TO the federal
capital. Notwithstanding the invitation
which was signed personally by Huerta.
whsther Colonel Vidaurrazaga bore
orders to arrest General Diaz was not
kpown this morning. Diaz did not deliver
a formal negative answer to Huerta's in
Vitation.
Huerta's letter urged Diaz to come to
the federal capital Immediately for his
own prestige as well as for that of the
government" 1t was written in affection
ate terms and bore no resemblance to
an official command.
Colonel Vidaurrazagas instructions ap-

MEXICO CITY, oct. 25.-General Don
Jose Maria servian. former chief of>staff
of General Mondragon, while the latter

tions tomorrow.
This was the first indication that had

trouble.
IL is not expected that any outbreak
win occur. but the troops In the capital
are to be held IN readiness for instant
action and other emergency measures
have been taken TO preserve order.
The police have been instructed not to
DO anything which would conflict with
the right of the citizens to cast their
votes.
Manuel Madero. cousin OF the late
President Francisco Madero. was arrested
today at SaltiIlo on account OF his al

against the increase OF 50 per cent On

President Huerta. The French diplomat
said he believed the duty unjust in view

Latest Information About Some of
Those who Figured in the Ex-
eOmmu nicatiOn and Removal
of Mrs. Stetson.

The reopening OF the controversy which
displaced Mrs. Augusta u. Stetson from
the position OF first reader of the big
Christian Science church in New York
to make way for Virgil o. Strickler for
merly well known in Omaha as a lawyer
practicing here has come about through
the publication by Mrs. Stetson of a book
and magazine article asserting her po-
sition as an interpreter of Mrs. Eddy 3
teachings and supporting It with docu-
ments and letters from Mrs. Eddy. The
publication Is hailed in New York as
evidencing the expectation OF Mrs. Stet-
son and her followers that she will event
ually be reinstated and be again placed
in control of the big First church which
she built
Church Falling Behind.
Along with the renewal OF the stetson
agitation the fact Is made public that
the church. no loneeS Yresided over by
Mr.. strckler. but now by one of his
proteges, Richard p. verrall, as first
reader. has been falling behind in its
finances. and made an appeal from the
pulpit for more liberal contributions. Mrs.
Stetson's friends recall that when she
turned the church over at the time OF
her accommodation there was $1,000
cash on hand and ample pledges OF sup
port to keep the treasury full for years.
The explanation offered by Mr.. Verrall
as reported in the public prints, Is: The
church is I'm splendid condition and IL
prospering. II is true that an appeal
was made for funds, but the usual rule
has been to let the members OF the
church know the condition OF the church
from time to time. when the fund
dropped 10 certain figure the members
were told. Usually that was done by
letter, but In the last case II was an
nounced from the pulpit"
strickIer Goes Up Higher.
In all these accounts Mr.. strickler does
not figure in the controversy this time,
although he was one Of the main factors
in the original Stetson episode, the reason
being, SO the information goes, that he
is no longer First Reader Of the New
York. church, but has been elevated to
the important post OF lecturer on the
Board Of Lectureship Of the Christian
Science church of Boston. What this
means as promotion may be gathered
from the explanation that a national lee
turer for the Christian Science church has
his lecture tour outlined for twelve
months, with the privilege Of lecturing
seven days a week and two or three
times a day as opportunity Is offered
at minimum of $50 for each lecture
and that financially this is much bet
ter berth than that OF First Reader OF
the First church in New York, who re-
celves salary of from $4,000 to %LOoc
per year In addition to emoluments that
come to him as healer.
