New York, Oct. 14-Former Lieut.
Gov. Timothy l.. Woodruff died in his
apartment on Sunday.
His condition had been critical for
nearly two weeks after having been
stricken with paralysis while address
ing a Progressive party rally in this
city. He was fifty-ive years old.
Mr.. Woodruff came of good Connec-
ticut stock, and arrived in New York
in 1880 at the age Of twenty-five years
with no capital nor prospective back

and business college and clear cut

ner in the house in which he first
found employment at eight dollars a
week, the head of an insurance com
pany and of a patent medicine con
Germ, director in various banking and
industrial corporations and az leader
in Republican politics.
The fortune he had acquired in this
period was augmented in later years
by the extension of his activities until
they included real estate operations
on large scale. notably the promotion
of the Garden City and Jamaica prop
critics. His political ambitions also
grew, and in 1900 he had the backing
of the New York state delegation for
the vice-presidentia nomination at the
Republican national convention, in
Philadelphia. Plans to that end
brought him in touch with Senator
Hanna of Ohio. The current already
was running toward Colonel Roosevelt

Senator Hanna answered, winking his

The ambition that then possessed
him never quite subsidized. He as
pired successfully to become the party
candidate for governor. to go TO the
United States senate and to enter the
cabinet Through this period he
proved an excellent party manager.
He had been active in politics from
1885. In 1895 he was appointed park

his administration extremely popular

HUERTA FOE SLAIN
BODY or SENATOR, MISSING SINCE
ARREST, FOUND NEAR
MEXICO CITY.
WILSON SENDS WARNING
United States VIII Keep strict Ae-
count OF Fate Of Deputies, Is Off,
elal Message to Dictator Of South
ern Republic.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Telegrams
from Charge O'Shaughnessy to the
state department on Monday brought
confirmation of the death OF Senator
Dominguez, whose body was found in
the woods OF the suburbs OF the
Mexican capital Saturday.
He was arrested upon Huerta's or
der in September for delivering a
fiery speech in the Mexican senate. He
disappeared soon after his arrest.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan regard the assassination OF Sen
ator Dominguez as parallel with that
of former President Madero. The
news was astounding and dazed the
president and secretary of state.
Both believe that Senator Dominguez
was murdered because of his political
stand and. while they have no proof,
they feel that Huerta is at the bottom
OF the murder.
A telegram received at the state
department states that no harm has
yet befallen the hundred deputies, all
Of whom still are in prison. The dis
patch did not indicate a possibility OF
their being released any time. soon.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy repeated his
warning that the deputies stand in
imminent danger of losing their lives
because OF their political faith and
the fact that they oppose the admin
istration of President Huerta.
Immediately after a conference be-
tween Secretary Bryan and President
Wilson relative to Charge O'Shaugh-
nessy's message II was announced at
the White House that kilograms had
been dispatched to both John Lind at
Vera Cruz and Charge O'Shaughnessy
at Mexico City to make representa-
tons to the Huerta government that
the United States would look with
displeasure upon any injury to the
Mexican deputies now under arrest.
Germany's decision to dispatch
warship to Mexican waters attracted
wide attention in official circles here.
No intimation had been received here
of Germany's intention and President
Wilson was informed only by press
dispatches of the action.
No formal comment was made on
the incident, but 1t was apparent that
the Washington government was not

The arrests followed a demand by
President Huerta that the chamber

MANDATE SEEN IN DEMAND.
Mexican Dictator's Friends Say He
Must Quit office or Invite War.

Mexico City, Nov. s. The under
current of conversation at the national
palace carried rumors regarding Pres
ident Huertas attitude in the face of
Washington demands that he retire
but the President himself preserved
silence.
Huerta's intimates are familiar with
the terms of the communication
which they regard as practically man
datory. The memorandum from the
administration at Washington states
that unless General Huerta retires i'm
mediately, and thereafter has nothing
to do with the conduct of affairs or
the formation of a new government,
the President of the United States will
issue an ultimatum, which, if rejected,
will cause him to call upon Congress
to authorize him to use sterner
methods.
The language used caused Huerta's
friends to regard the American COM
munication in itself as conclusive,
since General Huerta is given no
choice regarding further participation
in Mexicos official affairs.
