Greatest Danger Now Lies
in Some Unforesesn Outrage
Against the Americans.
SAY HUERTA WILL NEVER
BE RECOGNIZED

CU6Cltt W OHstoo 1850 '"N'
Washington, Aug. 11.-Improve-
ments of a decided character is seen
by President Wilson In the Mexican
situation Today the Huerta govern
ment in Mexico is far more willing to
adopt a conciliatory position In deal
ing with the United States. The
grave danger is that some unforeseen
outrage may be perpetrated against
Americans. But the President Is
hopeful that the Huerta government
will carefully guard against 1t.
The President was optimistic when
he met the newspaper correspond
ents today. While he could not be
quoted, there was little doubt that
he hoped for a peaceful outcome of
the entire problem, and that these
hopes have materially increased since
John Lind reached Mexico City.
Should Huerta prove more unrea-
sonable than anticipated and refuse
to make any concession Lind will find
out lust what is behind the Carranza
movement The President is without
any official information regarding the
constitutionalists plan. Senator
Sheppard, of Texas, has told him that
80 per cent, of the Mexicans are in
sympathy with Carranza.
Although the Mexican situation Is
clearing up both the President and
Secretary Bryan are keeping In con-
stant touch with Mexico City. Now
that Lind has arrived 1t Is admitted
his life was for some time In danger.
Secretary Bryan sat at his desk in the
state department until lao o'clock
this morning, refusing to leave un-
til he had official word that L1nd's
trip had been made in safety. The
administration will mark time until
Lind reports on conditions. 1t s
known he Will make 1t very plain that
this government will Tot recognize
Huerta, and do all he can to induce
Americans to leave the troubled Re-
public. Money will be forthcoming
and preparations will be made 30 that

this government can remove the pro-
hibition on arms and permit the con-
stitutionalists to get all they want on
this side of the border to make good
their boast that they can drive Huer-
ia out of the country in three months.
The President Is confident that he
will have better cooperation at the
hands of the senate, following his
general understanding with the COM
mittee on foreign relations. He was
considering today whether similar

Experience on the Bay

A knife at hand probably saved
the lives of j. Alfred Compton, Will
liam Compton, Van Mulchahey, Jacob
NJ Klein and Scott Burns, when itsiey
came near drowning in Compton s
sailboat "Ellida," about $40 o'clock
last night. fierce squall rendered
them helpless while off Keyport in
Raritan bay and after their harrow
ing experience, they were subjected
to the sufferings of being in a par
TALLY submerged vessel all night. 1t
was not until 7.30 o'clock this morn
ing, when they had bailed water
from the craft sufficiently and had
managed to patch the rigging well
enough, that they were able to re-
turn home. They were weary, tired
and hungry. The experience is ono
which none of them will soon for
get. With one or two exceptions
they retired Immediately after reach
ing shore here.
Uncertainty of weather conditions
was responsible for the incident.
The party with e. Cornelius O'Brien
had sailed to Highlands Saturday af-
ternoon. They started from that
resort early last night and upon
sight of a storm they put in at
Keansburg about 7 o'clock. When
1t seemed that the squall was over
the party set out again. When they
reached a point in Raritan bay off
Keyport at $50 o'clock, a violent
squall overlook them. The rigging
was torn and the jib pulled from
the craft. The fortunate possession
of a large pocket knife enabled the
cutting of line, which held the
main sail, in the nick of time. 1t
was almost certain that the vessel
would have capsized had not this
sail been cut loose. The vessel
rocked from side to side. The oc-

How the Game Warden

Not more chan a week ago. the
game warden. with the Tuscarora
Sheriff made a hurried trip to the
Dam twenty miles or more from
Tuscarora For hearing Of the Lone
some Kids high living, plenty of
fishing and no license MI Russell
determined to make an arrest. On
reaching Skaters camp as they
had heard and expected due evil
dence was found.
Now Shafter, or better known
as the Lonesome Kid" not sus-
pecting the errand of his visitors
and the danger of his freedom soon
busted himself cooking their sup
per. Both being exceedingly hun
cry after their long anxious jour
ney were glad of the chance. They
soon devoured everything given
them.
They then informed the mar who
they were and the reason of their
errand. They brought their vic.
tim to Tuscarora for trial. The
punishment was but a twenty dol
lar fine. But on account of the
Game Warden's wondrous appetite
the evidence had been devoured and
he had nothing with which to prove
his victims guilt. The Lonesome
Kid was guilty, but the Game
Warden devoured the evidence.
This may have been a lesson 10
