WHO WROTE
PAT TERSON
Will? !?
Nephew, in Suit for Share of
Estate, Claims Only Sigma
ture Is Genuine

Why did George w. H. Patterson.
capitalist and investor, in making his
will in September 1912. use three
different kinds of ink, and why did
he start the document in a small hand
and finish with the large, striking
signature which is found appended to
his other papers?
These questions Judge Graham is
endeavoring to solve in the contest
brought by Lloyd II. Patterson for a
share of his uncle's s65,0OO estate
against Jean Patterson, the widow,
and Alice E. Patterson, niece of the
dead man.
Already John G.. A. Patterson has
testified that 1T was a family trait
for both himself and his brother to
start writing in small hand and to
end with larger characters. The
brother, the widow and the niece are
interested in proving that the entire
will was written by Patterson.
The contesting nephew. Lloyd. who
was cut off with 81, alleges that only
the signature is that of his uncle and
that the writing is not.
The property consists of flats in
Pine street and other property in San
Francisco.

the people and result in demand
that Madero resign. This failed
and Madero was slain. Then
Huerta instituted reign of ter
ror. He thought the strong arm
OF the military would cow the
people into submission. but he
was wrong. DIR. Belisario Domin-
guez, senator of the state of Chi
apas, was shot to death by the
secret police in spite of the plead
1ngs of his IL year old son. This
action in turn caused congress to
demand Huerta's arrest, for which
the members were all imprisoned.
CONSTITUTIONAL STRONG
| think that the Constitutional
lists will soon be so strong that
President Huerta will realize the
uselessness of his struggle and
flee. If he does an effort undoubt-
edly will be made to extradite
him for murder.
Commercial conditions are de-
plorable in Mexico today. The
railroads have ceased running,
and everywhere the federal sol
diers have looted, burned and
sacked towns and rich planta-
tions. In Morelos valuable sugar
cane plantations have been
burned.
When Huerta is deposed Venus
tiano CarranZa undoubtedly will
be provisional president. Car
rama is, great favorite of the
peole.
INTERVENTION A MISTAKE
Regarding Intervention by the
United States, / think such a step
would be the greatest possible
mistake. The Mexicans are very
jealous of their independence,
and the minute soldier from the
United States stepped foot on
Mexican soil revolutions would
be forgotten and constitutional
lists and federalists alike would
join hands against the invader.
The better class of Mexicans
like President Wilson and feel
that he is sympathetic to their
cause. They believe that their
real enemy is Wall street.

KIEV, Nov. 11-Vladimir Korolenko
said: II am very happy at the result
which did not disappoint me. There
is one corner of our Russian institu-

is the Russian jury. There is little
doubt that the framing of the first

cate the black hundred, recognizing
that ritual murder does exist among

PARIS, Nov. 11.-Max Nordau made
the following statement: The poor
peasants who formed the jury have
had more sentiment for Russia's true
dignity than for the government. They
have saved Russia the last indignity
which would have been involved in
the condemnation of this poor. inno-
cent, prosecuted man, who has en-
dured the horrors of Imprisonment for
two and a half years with the possi-
bility of condemnation hanging over
his head like the sword of Damocles.
But the verdict in no way changes the
responsibility of the government, who
wished Bells to be condemned"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-President
Wilson received from Huerta today
the decision that he would not abdi-
cate. In a long message to all diplo-
mats in Mexico City Huerta, through
Minister of Foreign Relations Moheno
insists on the constitutionality of the
present Mexican government. his right
to declare null and void the election
for president, and. through the new
congress- which the United States viii
not recognize, to order a new elec-
tion. Coincident with this right, the
Mexican ruler asserts his authority TO
continue in office and to enforce his
plans for pacification throughout
Mexico.
For the first time Huerta an
nounces that he declared before the
diplomatic representatives of the va
rious powers that even though the
new congress should declare him
elected, he would not accept the Of
fice.
BRYAN GIVES OUT NOTE
Huerta declares. also, that he called
in conference all the candidates for
the presidency. and in a solemn cere-
mony, in the presence of the entire
Huerta cabinet. repeated the pledges
made befor the diplomatic corps and
pledged each one of them to stand by
him
Secretary Bryan gave out the full
text of the Moheno note late this aft
ernoon.
Justifying his actions in the recent
elections. Huerta declares in his note
that:
The elections of president and vice
president of the republic and of depu-
ties and senators of the union have
been held. Congress will be Installed
within few days and in accordance
with the constitution will pass upon
the election of president and vice
president and will render a decision
as to the solidity or nullity. At the
approach of the date fixed in the call
for the holding of the elections the
president of the republic learned that
his numerous friends were putting
him forward for the first magistracy.
and as, in accordance with article rs
of the constitution, he could not be
elected legally. in a desire to avoid
erroneous and malevolent interpreta-
tions and as there was not time
enough to make known his views to
the friends who were putting his name
forward, he made a solemn declara-
tion before the honorable members of
the diplomatic corps that the votes
deposited for him in the ballot boxes
should be null and of no value, and
that even in the event, legally impos-
sible, that the new congress should
declare him elected president he
would not accept the Office"
WILL PACIFY THE COUNTRY
AS a result of these elections which
Huerta will have declared void. he
announces:
Now, in view of the fact that
through reports which the govern
ment has received here exists a vehe-
ment presumption that because of it's
having been impossible to carry on
the voting in the number of polling
places prescribed by law, so that the
election may be considered as the
true manifestation of the will of the
people, and it is foreseen that said

NEW CONGRESS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE acts
Of the new Mexican congress will not
be recognized by the American gov
ernment s valid. This government
viii take the same attitude toward
newly elected senator's and deputies
that it has taken toward Huerta.
This development in the Mexican stu
alton is the outstanding feature of
the day.
Washington observers believe the
crisis viii come when the new con-
gress assemblies and tries to gain
financial support from European gov
ernments. BY THE time, unless
Huerta is eliminated, President Will
sons policy will include drastic
measures. These hinge in a great
measure on the attitude taken by
Europe. and as long as Huerta is en-
couraged by European financial in
terests he will make a stubborn fight
TO maintain himself in power.
