on the situation there"
The president told his friends that
he rarely had enjoyed a trip 30 much
as he did his journey 10 and from
Mobile. He received sucn a spontan-
eous welcome everywhere en- route
that he had pair of weary hands
which had been pressed by thousands
during the day as his train sped
through North Carolina and Birginia
Once the president got off, stretched
his legs and mounted the engine to
see Engineer n S. Hunter. who
proudly exhibited his locomotive
with its gilded American eagle on the
headlight.
"Climb down backwards" admon.
ished Engineer Hunter.
II hate to back out of anything"
laughed the president as he descend
ed.
The president had given orders not
to have the train make any unneces-
sary stops but II ran slowly through
scores of villages where big crowds
cheered as they caught a glimpse of
the president, There was one excep-
ton to the rule. The president re-
quested stop at Culpepper, Va. the
home of DR.. Cary T. Grayson, U. S.
~, the pesidents physician and con-
stant companion. DR.. Grayson said
through train had not stopped there
| in five years.
THE whole town will be there" he
| told the president enthusiastically as
he mentioned that 2201 persons were
found there in the last census.
When the train did stop at Culpep-
per, there was only one man at the
station and it was very dark
"Do You know anyone in the
crowd?" asked the president solemn
| ly
oh, yes" replied the doctor, some
what crestfallen, that's Cooney Hans
borough-but he meets all trains any
how"
He insisted there surely would have
been a crowd II 1t was known the train
would stop.

Before the defense closed. n medi-

WASHINGTON oct. 29.--President
Wilson is considering the wisdom OF
sending an ultimatum to Huerta de-
manding his retirement
In view of communications received
i; is believed that England. Germany
and France would uphold him in such
demands. If the president carries
out this plan, Huerta will probably be
said that he is inclined to think this
is the best plan of eliminating the die
tator without using force.
Government officials are beginning
to hope that the flight OF Diaz from
Vera Cruz to an American warship
will pass without creating fresh
crisis.
At present Huerta apparently is too
well satisfied with having Diaz out of
the country to trouble himself over
the manner of his departure. Al
though the Mexican authorities still
insist that Diaz was in no danger and
that not even an order for his arrest
had been given. it is generally believ-
ed that DiaZ did the wise thing in
seeking American protection 1t Is
agreed. however that he has put him
self out of the race for president.

az is still aboard the battleship
, Louisiana to which he was transfer

Havana unless none san before Mo-
vember 4, the date the Louisiana Is
| scheduled to leave. In that event he
will be landed at the first neutral port
where he wishes to stay.
The proprietor of the German ho-
tel where Diaz was a guest before he
took refuge in the American consul
ate. was summoned before the local
| authorities TO give the details OF his
relations with the fugitive. He swore
that American Consul Canada made
all the arrangements for General Di-
az to live at the hotel on leaving the
home of his brother-in-law. The ho-
tel proprietor added mournfully that
| Diaz and his two companions left the
hostelry owing $1,000 for their enter
tainment there.
| WASHINGTON. Oct 2s.-The pres
ident shut himself in his study today
to work out the Mexican problem. He
is expected to emerge from seclusion
with a declaration of what the world
may expect from the United States in
the way of settling the affairs in the
southern republic. The president.
when he promised the powers that he
would enunciate a definite policy.
made the point clear that the United
| States will resent outside interfer-
ence in Mexico. That he is cousid-
ering sending an ultimatum to HUI
