WILSON APPEARS
MUCH ENCOURAGED

The President spoke thus of the sit !
uation to half hundred Washington
correspondents at their semi weekly vi
4 conference His manner was calm and
it was apparent that he felt decidedly
encouraged by recent advices The
President is not usually quoted after
these conferences, but today he per-
mitted quotation to the extent Of the
single sentence. This he did to allay
any tension that might have arisen IN
scribed in the dispatches from Mexico
City. Asked about the word favor
able he explained that he meant ia
vorable to a settlement
The President gave no details to
show upon what his optimism was
based. but he made it claer that the
primary condition of a settlement VIZ $
the ousting of Huerta and all those
who stood for the kind of government
he had been conducting 1t was eVi-
dent that the President had received
important dispatches but he declined
to say whether they We're from Mexico
City or Nogales, the constitutionalist
headquarters. Later. however. it was
learned from other high officials that
the plan of financial isolation was
bearing fruit and that the plan for
Huertas elimination was being ac
quiesced in by foreign governments es-
pecialy some of those which had pre-
VlouSlN fecoSlllIeu MIN ana upon WhDm
he had come to rely for aid.
One of the important factors in the
situation, which caused Washington
Ecalmly to await developments, was the
report through authoritative channels
that members of the Huerta official
family were divided, some of them urg-
ing his resignation to avoid interna-
tional complications. They We're re-
ported to be using every effort to pre-
vail upon him to make formal an.
nouncement OF retirement at fixed
4 date
The situation has progressed to the
point. in the view of many officials,
where even a definite rejection of the
American demands by Huerta would not
alter his future materially, Confidence
Eprevails that lie is drifting into certain
bankruptcy and cannot resist much longer
the pressure exerted against him.
Another influence that is expected to
4 contribute to Huertas overthrow is the
extension of moral support to the con-
stitutional.sts, If pressed to the ex-
trenity the American government will
\ lift the embargo on arms to aid the con-
stitutonalists in composing the situation,
dt there is still a hopefulness among
thigh officials that such step will prove
unnecessary.

Leaders Cheered

General Caranza referred to the Mex
lean situation only once today
II VIII not enter into transactions
with the Huerta government directly
or indirectly" he said. NOR will
accept the mediation of anybody"
The military leaders here were
cheered tonight by what they consid-
cred significant news from the south.

commander in the states of Nuevo
Leon and Tamaulipas. reported to GEN
eral Carranza that his troops had taken
Il towns, routed the federals in two
decisive battles and captured two mill
tary trains with large supplies or mu-
nitions. General Gonzales said that at
present his forces were marching
against Victoria, capital of Tamaulipas
Col. Gustav Garmendla, who was
conspicuous at the time of the Mexico
city rising against Madero, was killed
in leading his insurgent commands
against Culiacan, according to a re-
port generally credited here.
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, former COM
mander of Sonora state troops, was
reported wounded slightly

NO MEDIATION
HAS BEEN OFFERED

Il The United States has offered no media
lfion to the constitutionalists but simply
has endeavored to learn what protection
Agould be promised to foreigners and their
lbroperty, and what would be the pro-
0kramme of action of the constitutionalists
Nkf they were successful by arms.

OIL and GAS NEWS

ben NJ. Griffith, a civil and mining
engineer, of St Louis, Mo, was here
Friday night He had been out in
the oil fields looking over land which
he purchased some time ago for par
ties residing in St Louis Some of
the land is located IN 80 and some
in 3-3, and it is possible that por-
tjCn of it will be in the oil field which
is gradually being extended north
from the wells already brought in.
MIR. Griffith purchased the lands for
oil purposes long before the Healdton
well was discovered, and lie used pret-
~ good judgment in their selection.
The owners of the property are not
oil men and most likely they will
lease out their holdings.

cf Durant, spoutol twice to the top
of the derrick, and every indication
points to the conclusion that this
well is one of the best in the field
one of the owners of the well stated
yesterday that tankage had been or
derCd for the well in which to store
the product. This extends the field
one-half mile further north, proves
up a large area of leases and makes
prices good in the north end of the
field. Our report on the well is that
il is l,l03 feet in depth, and that
the sand was penetrated but a short
distance The unfavCrabe reports
made from time to time on this well,
will lend more or less suspicion to
each well, until the field is proven,
and prices become stable.

VYONANs LOVE MAY END SENSATIONAL AND
BLOODY KENTUCKY MOUNTAIN FEUD

BLOODY KENTUCK
Winchester, KY, Jan. 1s.-One
woman, through love, is trying to
end the bloody feud between the
Deatons and Galatians.
For IS years there has been
war to the death between the two
families. The fighting was not in
the open. An ambush, puff of
smoke, and a Deaton or. Gala
han was added to the death total.
The rifles never missed.
Jim Deaton was shot and killed
IS years ago. Edward Callahan
was arrested, tried and acquitted.
The Deatons believed, Callahan
was responsible for the murder.
They were quiet, but they did not
forget.
A few years after three Of the
Deaton boys were shot while~go-
ing through a mountain pass. No
body IN particular was ever
blamed for these killings, and the
murderers were never brought to
trial. But the anger of the Dea-
tons was smoldering.
One morning Ed Callahan was
standing at the door of his store
in Breathitt county. His little son
was playing near. Suddenly Cal
lahan toppled over on his face.
His son ran to him.
Ed Callahan was dead, There
was bullet through his heart.
Hargis Callahan, an eleven-year-
old boy, was left to carry on the
feud.
Fletcher Deaton, brother of
Tim Deaton and uncle of the
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-01-18

/
The jury in the first trial dis
agreed. DeatOn is awaiting his
second trial.
Outsiders believe that if Fetch
er Deaton is convicted the feud
will end. MOuntaineers, who.
know the temper of the hi1lmen,
shake their heads and say it can't
be done. Feud is in the blood.
and there is no end in sight.
There are three principals left
in the feud.
Fletcher Deaton, now in Jail, is
a mild-mannered man, and his
broad chest is adorned with all
kinds of pins and medals emblem
attic Of fraternal societies. Fetch
er radiates benevolence. But he
is charged with the murder of Ed
Callahan.
81 would have done anything in
the world for Ed" says Deaton.
Il had no animosity toward him.
Little Hargis Callahan, the
typical mountain child, bred in
the feudal atmosphere, does not
believe Fletcher Deaton. He is
regarded as the natural avenger
of his father. He so thinks of
himself.
Little Hargis calmly accepts
the role of avenger. Already he
can shoot straight. 81 expect to
get even for this some day." he
says, with a snap of the jaws. and
a cold, straight look from his old
ish, steel-gray eyes.
But his sister is fighting with
love to break this spell of destiny.
