POWERS WONT
BE PERMITTED
TO INTERFERE

Washington, Oct. 24.-Developments
of a. few hours today in the relations
between the United States and Mexico
emphasized a gravity of affairs more
on1inous than at any time since Pres
ident Wilson's administration began.
Absolute silence was the order in Off
cia1 quar- ters.
The release of the Ward Liner Nor
ro Castel after peremp tory demands
by the United States, terminated a
delicate situation.
A statement was in preparation to-
day by Secretary Bryan and Counsel
lor- John Bassett Moore, which Secre-
tary Bryan brought to the White
House for approval. No intimation as
to it's contents was revealed, although
there was reason to believe that be-
fore many hours had passed a. notice
by the United States that it will not
brook European interference in Mexico
by the warships. dispatched to Mexican
waters by the various foreign govern
ments would be proclaimed.
1t is understood also that the United
States by that same statement, will
reiterate the policy that only govern
ments founded on constitutional law
and order will be recognized in the
western hemisphere.
pect today it was considered possible
President Wilson might cancel at the
last moment his trip to Mobile, Ala.

FOUR QUESTIONS
ON MACHINES
ELECTION DAY
Three Have to Do With Bond
Issues, Fourth Refers to
Municipal Ice Plant.
NORTH END PARK
WILL BE VOTED ON
Two Tracts Are Under Consid-
Grafton, One Hairs Lot,
the Other the ParrOtt
Property.

The voters of Bridgeport will be gfv-
en- a chance to say whether or not they
want a municipal ice and cold storage
plant, at the coming election. AL
though a number of lawyers claim that
the resolution passed by the Common
Council calling for a referendum vote
on this subject is in a form that pre-
cludes its being submitted to the cleo
tors under the recent home rule act of
the general assembly, nevertheless the
question will be placed on the voting
machines with the others that are to
be decided at this election.
The questions which are to be voted
on this election are:
"Shal1 an issue of bonds be author
lied to be known as the bridge i'm
provement bonds to the amount of ST.
SOC, COOP
"Shall an issue of bonds be author
lied to be known a Almshouse bonds
to an amount not exceeding $175, 900 ?'
sShall an issue Of bonds be author
lied for the purchase of the proposed
new park in North Main street?'
Shall the city construct and main
tain ice and cold storage plant?"
Mayor Wilson said this morning that
he would insist that the question re-
garding the municipal ice plant be put
the voting machines, although it is
not included in the draft Of the oues-
tiors to go before the voters, submit
ted to Mayor Wilson by City Attorney
Pullman
The questions Will be handed to the
Printer tomorrow to prepare the slips
which will be placed in slots in the
question compartments of the voting
machines. Mayor Wilson also said. to-
day that he regretted that the ques-
tiQns Of bonds for a. new bridge at
Bfratfofd avenue and for a bridge at
the foot of State street could not have
been voted on separately
The Question IN the form 1T which
it will be presented to the voters.
is very obscure. 1t simply specifies
bridge bonds without making plain
the purpose for which the bonds are
to be used.
The $50, 900 bonds which the voters
may decide to issue for the park pur-
chase does not apply to the tract of
land at Main street, North Washing
ton avenue and Catherine street as
many people may suppose.
Two resolutions calling for the es-
tablishment of a park in the North
End were introduced in the Common
Council recently. One presented by
Alderman P. H. Brady calls for the
purchase of the property known as
Hairs lot in North Main street. The
other provides for the purchase of a
part of the Parrott estate in North
avenue. The bond issue is to provide
funds to carry out one or the other
of the resolutions.

HORSE AMBULANCE
rs COMING SOON
SAYS AGENT HOWELL

Agent Alexander Howell of the Con-
necticut Humane society has taken up
the question of securing a horse ambu-
lance for Bridgeport and has been SO
successful in his campaign that such
a vehicle is expected to be placed in
operation before cold weather comes.
He reports that a prominent livery
man has offered to store the ambu-
lance free, should it be secured. For
some time he has considered it a shame
that a city the size of Bridgeport
should be without the services of such
an adjunct to humane work. The wood
block, during icy and cold weather, is
particularly dangerous to horses and
Agent Howell predicts that there will
be many falls and horses with frac-
tured bones that do not have to be
shot if given proper attention.

BULLET WOUND
IN TEMPLE OF
FLOATING BODY
Mystery In Discovery of Corpse
By Tug Boat Crew Off
Greens Farms

Dressed only in Undertaking and
stockings, face and body SO badly de-
composed and defaced by the action of
the salt water as to be unrecognizab1e,
the body of an unknown man was dis
covered floating in the waters of the
Sound this morning by the crew of the
tugboat Success off Greens Farms.
A sinister looking hole in the left tenn
pie, interpreted as having been made
by revolver bullet, leads the authori-
ties to believe that the unknown was
a victim of murder or suicide. An
autopsy is being performed at CuIIinan
& Mullins morgue by DR.. w. H. Don
aIdson, medical examiner of Fairfield.
That it may prove to be no ordinary
felt that the man may have been of
prominence and went to his death
from one of the New York-Boston
boats.
The tugboat was towing a mud scow
from Westport harbor, where dredging
is going on, out into the Sound when
one of the crew happened to see some-
thing bobb1ng about in the water
Closer examination disclosed the hui
man FORM Boat hooks were pressed
into service and the body secured.
DR. Donaldson was notified and gave
permission for it's removal to the
Bridgeport morgue.
The man was apparently about forty
years old, bald, about feet inches
tall and of a stout build. From the
condition of the body it is judged that
it had been in the water not less than
ten days and probably from three
weeks to a month. The undercIothing
and stockings are apparently of good
texture and not of the kind worn by
bargemen or others following the wa
ter in minor capacity.

minister of foreign affairs, who said,
today. that General Diaz was at liber-
ty to come to the capital when he
chose
Mexico City, Oct 24-Whether
General Felix Diaz will come at once
70 the federal capital or remain in
Vera Crux until after the presiden tial
election appeared to be a matter of
doubt in the minds of his most prorni-
nent adherents here, today. Jose Luis
.Reduena, candidate for the vice-presi-
dency On the Diaz ticket. expressed
the belief that his leader was likely
to come here, today. or tomorrow
Senor Requena admitted the arrest at
Vera Cruz of a number of Diaz fol-
lowers on charges which he regarded
as inventions and he declared that
the action of the authorities there
had been taken for the purpose of
1ntiuidation.
Senor Requena asserted that he
had proof that the word had gone
forth to voters to cast their ballots for
Victoriano Huerta and General Blan-
ouet and he appeared to fear that this
Knight have the effect of defeating his
ticket On being asked whether he
feared General Diaz would be arrested
Ior prevented from leaving Vera Cruz,
Senior Requena said that such a thing
was possible and added:
ssThe government has power to do
these things and it is easy to find a
pretext.''
Thus far, however, Senior ReQuena

Notwithstanding the declaration
made by Provisional Presidents Huer-

accept election as president should the
ballots show him to have majority,
the impression is general among the
public that the presidential elections
on Sunday will fail to show any other
candidate with sufficient votes to win,
Senior ReQuena, today declared his
campaign would cost over $25O,00o.
1t has been the greatest campaign
