SENTIMENT
is DIVIDED
ON MEXICO
Vote Of Citizens Of Chickasha Taken
at Request Of Congressman
Ferris Shows Small Major
ity against Intervention

II President Wilson wants to be
guided by the wishes of the people Of
Chickasha in dealing with the Mexi-
can problem, he is going to be much
puzzled in going about it,
According to the vote of 26 business
and professional men who dropped in
al random to meet Congressman Scott
Ferris at the Elks club Thursday aft
ernoon, the sentiment of the commun-
ity is pretty evenly divided on the
question as to whether Uncle Sam
should step over the Flo Grande and
spank our tumultuous southern neigh
bors.
The question before the house was.
Shall the United States intervene in
Mexico? OF the votes cast IA voted
no and IL yes" Had the vote been
finished a minute or two sooner, it
would have been an even break, be-
cause one of the antiinterventionists
arrived just before the ballots we're
counted. The vote was taken at the
request of Mr.. Ferris, who desired to
ascertain the sentiments of his con
stituents on the question. The con
gressman discussed the matter but did
not state his own attitude, although
the tone of his remarks left the impress
sion that he was drifting toward in
tervention.
In brief informal address Mr.. Fer
ris told about the tariff making. pre-
dieting that the measure finally pass
ed would prove of immense benefit to
the country. In the course of his talk,
he gave unstinted praise to Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee for the able leadership dis
played in plotting the bill through the
house.
Mr.. Ferris gave his approval to the
Owen-Glass currency bill which has
already passed the house and predicI-
ed that with certain notifications it
would 80 through the senate. The
congressman announced that he would
be candidate for reelection. In addi-
tion to those present when the vote on
Intervention was taken, a large num-
Der of citizens dropped in to pay their
respects to Mr.. Ferris before he left
late in the afternoon for El Reno.

TO ENFORCE
new Law

From a statement issued from the
county attorneys office here the gam
bling law is considered IN force as
passed. following the ruling handed
down by Judge Mcmillan OF Purcell.
in which that magistrate ruled that
though a referendum petition had been
filed calling for a vote on the bill next
fall. there was flaw in the petition
making il void and causing the bill to
be in force at the present time
Il am going to proceed under the
bill" said Oscar Simpson, county at
torney. Il am OF the opinion that
Judge Mcmillan is right and the next
gambler caught will be tried under the
bill and charged with felony and will
face a term in the state penitentiary
al McAlester."
While only a remark was dropped
on the subject. ii was taken to mean
that the lid is TO be screwed down
tighter The gamblers are d. sure
going to be caught. too" added Mr.
Simpson.

All eyes Of the football world in Ok
lahoma are turned today toward Nor

Chickasha crew, numbering 10 players
and a retinue Of coaches. managers and
a squad of rooters left this morning
for an invasion that will no doubt
mean the deciding game of the state
championship and every heart in
Chickasha is beating for the invaders,
while the Norman contingent is just
as strong for their fayorites. Both
teams will go on the field with do or
die spirit and it promises to be a game
similar to the memorable game here
last year when Chiekasha took Nor
man into camp to 0. a better game
than which no man ever saw, speak

Responding nobly to the call, the
citizens of Chickasha showed their ap-

moment. Also il has been stated that
seven of Norman's old men are not

WILSON ABANDONS
A PROPOSED TRIP
Recognition Of Rebels Looms Up

Mexico. Oct 1.-THE presidents
abandonment of his expected trip to
the naval target practice is regarded
today as recognition of the serious
possibilities OF the Mexican situation.
The tacit recognition of the consti-
tutionalists loomed today as a possible
solution.
1t was rumored that Gen. Carranza.
the constitutionalist leader, is bargain
ing with Huerta to establish peace by
making Pedro Sascurian temporarily
the provisional president, restoring
congress and holding elections.
LAREDO, Texas, Oct. 17.-Word was
received here today that IT'S Ameri.
can refugees from Torreon have been
rescued from a perilous position near
Rodriguez, where they were facing
starvation.
They are now being sent to Tampico
under federal escort and will sail for
Galveston.
The president indicated to those who
discussed the Mexican situation with
him that he was irrevocably determin-
ed to deal no longer with the Huerta
regime, but that further steps toward
bringing peace to Mexico were being
considered. No move is expected,
however, until after October 26. the
date set for the Mexican elections.
Just what the Washington govern
ment will do is yet matter of specu-
lation among high officials, but the
trend of events, they say, Is unmis-
takably toward conducting negotia-
tions in some form or another with the
constitutionalists.
The policy Of the United States has
been to make complete the record of
having attempted to handle the prob
lem by peaceful means. Up to the
present parleys have been carried en-
witt the Huerta authorities, who have
rejected the good offices of the United
States, Strong pressure is now besng
brought to bear upon the president
and Secretary Bryan to give the con-
stitutionalists an opportunity to com
pose the situation through the support
Of this country. ~
Reports that the president was IRE
pairing to recognize the belligersncy of
the constitutionalists are based chiefly
upon the friendly disposition tovaro
them that has arisen among admins
fration officials since Huerta's pr.cla-
nation Of dictatorship. The sugges-
tion has been carried to Pres
Wiiscn by those upon whose judgment
he ard Secretary Bryan have been in
the ! ast guided to some extent, and
while the ATTITUDE is one Of waiting
until October 26 arrives, Ii appeared
that some move indicating support for
the constitutionalists was not at all
improbable.
Such action might not be formal re-
cognition. which would present a cur
ious tangle in technicalities of inter
national law but it is pointed out by
those who are urging informal dealings
with the constitutionalists that in real
ity Gov. Carranza was legally elected
chief executive of the state of Goa
hula and that he and Gov Maytorena
OF Sonora justify their armed resist
ance of Huerta as a measure of de-
