EICHELBERG'S BODY
FOUND IN RIVER

Sioux City, Nov. 4.-The finding of
the body of w. J. Eichelberg clears
up one Of the most battling disappear
ances Of several years in the police
department. Eichelberg, reputed well
to do and prominent as a contractor,
dropped out of sight on Labor day.
The police are now confident that
Eichelberg committed self destruction.
He had attempted to take his own life
three times in Sioux City. Eichelberg
had no relatives here. He lived at the
home Of L. L. Tilden bookkeeper for
the Sioux City Casket company, who
| also disappeared from his home early
last Saturday and has not been seen
since. %.1%
At the time Of Tllden's disappear
ance the police were inclined to COM
pare the two cases. Mrs. Tflden, since
the finding of the body identified as
that Of Eichelberg, has scoffed at the
theory that her husbands departing
suddenly from his home had any bear
ing on the disappearance of the con-
tractor.
The police believe that Eichelberg
jumped into the Missouri river some
where in the vicinity Of Sioux City.
The body found yesterday lay in water
in pocket near the bank The cur
rent Of the river could easily have car
ried it from the Iowa side at Sioux
City to where 1t was found, the police
declared. ...'
Z The body was found by NJ R. Gray
vile, farmer whose land adjolns the
river. 1t was in water three feet deep.
Fred Eichelberg, Of Hedrick, father
of the contractor arrived last night
He was notified after Capt Oscar Bird
we'll and Officer Wianand had returned
from viewing the body. Mr.. Eichelberg
offered a 500 reward for the finding
of his son, dead or alive.

test as to the reliability of hog

will be read with considerable interest
by all hog raisers.
DR.. Hoaglund makes the following
report of three hogs which he injected
with hog cholera blood:

can capital are disposed to defer to
the United States in the task OF re-
storing constitutional government.
Such a statement ordinarily would be
accompanied by pointed inquiry
framed to develop Huerta's Intentions.
1t is believed that the last note may
not disclose the purpose Of the United
States in the event that Huerta's an
swer was not satisfactory as such a
declaration would mark practically the
last step in negotiations.
Huertas conference with the resi-
dent members Of the diplomatic body
is taken to bear out that theory. The
opinion is that it naturally would fol-
low that the defacto president would
call on the diplomatists to make sure
that the position Of their governments
had been stated correctly and that
they are aligned with the United
States.
Bryan is RetIcent.
Later today Secretary Bryan issued
a statement. He declined to discuss
the use of the word "ultimatum,"
mote" or "advices" saying he had no
more to say than the statement itself
conveyed. 1t was as follows:
II have made it rule not to dis
cuss newspaper reports concerning in
ternationa1 matters; but the nature of
the dispatches from Mexico this morn
ing suggest departure from the rule
at this time. No ultimatum has been

No Reply; Bryan Says
Story is False i

Washington, D. c., Nov. 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson let the Mexican situation
simmer q few hours today while he
went to Princeton, N. j., to vote. The
tension over this governments ultl-
matum to Huerta was not relieved by
the presidents absence, however, and
lust before Mr.. Wilson left the white
house, he conferred with Secretary
Bryan.
All officials here we're silent over
the notice to Huerta to vacate the
provisional presidency of Mexico and
seat no partisan. The understanding
was that the attitude here is to make
no announcement just now and await
the next step.
The greatest interest centered about
Huerta's conference with the Mexico
City diplomatic corps. AS soon as
Charge OShaughnessy had delivered
the latest note Huerta called in the
diplomats but no announcement was
made of their conference. y. p.
President Wilson planned to be in
touch with the situation practically
every hour he is away today and to
return to washington tonight.
Administration OmclalS directly con-
nected with the Mexican negotiations
have adopted policy OF absolute ST.
lence, considering it inexpedient at
this time to define the course Of &C
ton being pursued and declining to
comment one way or the other on the
reports from Mexico City regarding
the presentation Of summary note
to Huerta requiring his immediate
resignation. That this elimination of
Huerta is sinequonon Is admittedly
the fundamental principle of the adj
ministration policy but beyond this
the successful step taken or contem-
plated are not disclosed.
An air Of confidence in official cir
cles is taken to indicate that the
United States is satisfied that prac-
tically all the great powers have
agreed to support the administration
policy at least to the extent Of observ-
ing strictly neutral attitude and al
lowing the United States to test its
own plan for restoring peace in
Mexico.
Powers in Accord
In the absence Of any official state
ment, but on the basis of expressions
of opinion by competent observers, it
is believed that Huerta has been in
formed that practically all the powers
automatically represented in the Next

WILSON CALLS Upon HUERTA
/: To RESIGN HIS OFFICE At ONCE
Receives
Ultimatum From
President Wilson

Mexico City, Nov. 4.-"Presi-
cent Huerta must resign the presi-
dency Of Mexico without loss Of
time, and he must not leave as his
successor General Aureliano Blan-
uuet, his minister Of war, or any
other member Of his official family
or Of the unofficial coterie whom
he might be expected to control"
This uitimatum from Washing
ton was conveyed to President
Huerta through his private secre-
tary, Senior Rabago, by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affalres, acting under in
structions from the state depart
n1ent. ."s.....
Senior Rabago presented the
memorandum to his chief late
Sunday, but up to last evening
President Huerta had returned no
answer and as far as could be
learned had guarded its contents
from almost all Of his official and
Intimate counselors. ......
Those who learned Of the Wash
ington note regard General
Huerta's position as one in which
he will be forced to give one Of
two answers-refusaI point blank
to comply with the demand pos
sibIy going so far as to hand the
diplomatic representative his pass
ports, or the elimination Of him
self officially.
Those most intimate with the
president Insist that the latter
course will not be taken for many
reasons, chief among which is that
such action would be tantamount
to submission to the rebels.
