THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT THINA
1T NECESSARY TO CLOSE THE
AMERICKN EMBASSY.
PEACEFUL SOLUTION
MAY BE FOUND
Brazil Joins With The European MAJ
tions In Endorsing The United
States.

Washington, D. c., Nov 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson does not regard ths
Mexican situation as having reached
any such critical stage as to require
the closing Of the American embassy.
Discussing reports to that effect to-
day, he said Charge 0'Shaughnessv
neither had been given his passports
nor been told to come back. While
details as to persons had changed, vet
the main circumstances remained sub
stantially the same as when the pres;-
dent previously expressed a favorabis
view OF the situation.
Summing up the status of affairs.
the president indicated that while the
personal attitude of General Huerta
might have changed, the circum-
stances upon which the American
government bases it's conviction that
Huerta's elimination is inevitabia
have not changed at all
THE mills of the gods grind slow
ly,'' expresses the slow and steady
purposes being pursued.
1t was made plain at the whsta
house that the peremptory resigna-
Ition Of Minister Aldape did not affect
materially the American plan, as it
was pointed out that no scheme that
this government might have could
very well depend upon the perml-
nency of any member of the Huerta
cabinet.
The president made it plain that
the changes ln the situation, though
they appeared Kaleidoscope in detaH
had not inspired confidence here in
the ultimate solution OF the problem
by peaceful means.
Official denial was made at the
white house to the report that pam
American mediation was contemplate
ed and 1t was reiterated that no medi-
alton OF any kind had been offered to
either faction. South American ma
tions, it was stated. had been i'm
formed in the same way as European
nations and have expressed In the
main their desire to support tha
American policy. Brazil, in particu-
lar, in not having recognized tha
Huerta government previously, is rs-
garded as especially friendly to tha
American policy.

AMERICUS PARTY
SUCCESSFUL IN
EFFECTING Plan
FOR PLANTS CONSOLIDATION
Stockholders Will Determine
Further Steps

Messrs. Frank Sheffield, Frank La
nier, Lee Allen and Attorney w. P.
Wallis have just returned from New
York, where they went for the purpose
of effecting plans looking to the merg-
ing of interests of the two electric
plants in Americus, to the end of elm
mating one of the plants and the oper-
alton, eventually, of the other plant
As municipal enterprise
The entire bonded interests OF one
of the local plants, that of the Ameri-
Gus Gas and Electric Co., is owned by
New York capitalists, while the entire
stock of the other plant, the Americus
Power Co. is owned in Americu5 !;
hence the necessity for a conference
of those interested.
1t was announced by the gentlemen
returning from New York that their
mission had been quite successful, and
the entire party was pleased herewith.
Some details remain to be worked out
here after which the entire PLANS pro-
posd will be set forth to the public.
Mr.. Frank Lanier, discussing the mat
ter, feels confident that the proposition
will be accepted.
While the Georgians found the
weather north decidedly cold their stay

PLEASURE SEEKERS ARE KNOCK.
ED OFF TRAM CAR BY HANGIN,s
LIMB IN OKEFENOKEE SWAMP
WHOLE PARTY HAS
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
One Man is Killed Outright-AnOther
Died This Morning and The Wife OF
The Latter Is Not Expected to Live.
(By Perkins Prewitt.)

Waycross, Ga, Nov. 17.-(Special.) }
Two people are dead and another
lies dying as a result of an accident
that happened near here Sunday. A
party of pleasure seekers were swept
off a slowly moving tram car by a
low limb extending over the track.
v. Lanchaster and Pete Stewart are
the two dead people. Lanchaster was
killed instantly as he fell under the
wheels of the train. Stewart died to-
day about noon. Mrs. Stewart, his
wife, is not expected to live till morn
ing.
Il begged Pete to stay at home,
sobbed Mrs. Stewart this morning, as
she laid struggling against death. i
knew something would happen. 1 was
always raised to observe the Sabbath
and it was my first Sunday pleasure
trip. Pete said it was alright l know
this horrible accident happened just
to punish us for our pleasure"
MRS Stewart was severely injured
internally as she was knocked un-
derneath the car She knows that
she cannot live through the day and
her chief worry seems to be t.. fact
that she will have to- stand judgment
before the Great White Throne for
her first Sunday pleasure trip. Be-
sides these, a score or more are seri
'ously though not fatally injured. ),
was nothing short of a miracle that
the whole party was not killed.

SURGEONS WOULD
ABOLISH CORSETS
and tight BELTS

Chicago. Nov. 17.-Tight corsets or
women and tight belts on men are
constant causes of serious ailments OF
the stomach, according to surgeons
who saw DR.. Herbert Patterson, of
London, perform an operation to pro-
vide a new outlet for stomach to
replace a badly abused pylorus whic /
had become inactive. The operation
was on a woman and the inertness of
the pylorus, surgeons said, was chiefly
due to tight corsets.
DIR. Patterson cut the intestine few
inches below the pylorus and made a
hole in the side of the stomach nearest
the intestine, producing new pylorus.
College boys who wear belts tightly
strapped around the abdomen take
equally grave chances of stomach dis
order, according to the physicians.
DR.. John B. Murphy, of Chicago,
was chosen president of the Clinical
congress of the Surgeons of North
America at the annual election.
London was chosen for the 1914
meeting, which will begin July 26.

Mexico City, Nov. 17.-severance
of relations between The Unitei
States and Mexico at an early date IL
regarded here as inevitable in view
of the continued declaration of Pro-
visional President Huerta that he will
not relinquish his Office.
None of the newspapers, whether
printed in English or Spanish, pub
lished more than the briefest dis
patches today touching the situation,
and no indication was given in these
of the intentions of Washington to-
ward Mexico.
Whether the United States embas-
sy is to remain or to be immediately =
Withdrawn appears to be matter Of
which Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
American charge d'affairs himself is
uncertain.
The staff of the embassy is ready

in case Mr.. O'Shaughnessy and his
establishment should take the even

noon, fifteen pleasure-seekers were
thrown off, one being killed instantly,
two received injuries that are consid-
cred fatal, and several were seriously
bruised and cut.
The dead: l.: B: Lancaster, aged 81,

While Lancaster's home was il

Hebard Cypress company and lived at
Hopkins. Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart, also
are of Hopkins. The Hebard logging
camp is in the swamp.
Taken to WaycrOs.
The injured were rushed to Way
cross on a special train early last
night and taken to a hospital.
Lancaster was knocked under the
moving train by the limb; others on
the car fell on the track, but by a
miracle escaped death.
The party was one of the usual Sun
day crowds that have been in the habit
of making short trips over the lowe.
end of the road, which is operated oa-
'ly as a tram by the Hebard Lumber
company to get timber from the big
swamp to the mills at Waycross.
Details of the accident this morning
are meager, but telephone communi-
\
cation with Hopkins states that earlier
reports that all aboard the car re-
ceived serious injuries were incor-
rect.
Train Moving Slowly.
At the time the car was swept by
the limb it was going at a very sloT
rate of speed, which accounts for the
small list of injured The only infor-
nation obtained by General Superin-
tendent ]. E. Hopkins of the road was
by telephone. He does not expect a
detailed report until late tonight.
The accident, while happening on the
Hebard road, was one for which the
company claims to be in no way re-
sponsible, as the trip made to Cravens'
Island was handled by employees who
went on a car not operated in connec-
ton with any regular train service of
the road.
