court yesterday. The petitioner lives

former State senator from Benning-
ton county. The testimony was that
for the first month of their marriage
life her husband was very good to
her.

BILE came when Mrs. Archibald at
tempted to have the thirteen years
old step-daughter stay in nights. The
testimony was that the child was ha-
bitually out on the street at night.

and upon this provocation heaped
abuse upon his wife and neglected
her. Further allegations were as fol-
lows He tore up the white Hecktie
he wore at the wedding and threw IL
under the bureau. He erased the
"Mr." from the visiting cards. He
went to her room and took away her
diamond ring. He demanded the key
to her trunk in order to get from 1t

ed to deliver them he got an AK and
broke the lock. When his wife came
to his Office he told her that If she
did not get out he would throw her
downstairs.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION
Now Dealing With Huerts and Those
Who Come to His Support

Washington. April 24.-President
Wilson issued the following COM
ment on the Carrauza statement:
81 wish to reiterate with the
greatest earnestness the desire and
intention OF this government TO re-
spect in every possible way the SOW
eroignty OF independence OF the peo-
pie OF Mexico.
The feeling and intention OF the
government in this matter are not
based upon politics. They so much
deeper than that. They are based
upon a genuine friendship for the
Mexican people and a profuond in
terest in the re-establishment Of
their constitutional system.
Whatever unhappy circumstances
or necessities may arise. this OBJ
ject will be held steadily in. view
and pursued with constant purpose,
so far as this government is concern
ed
But we are dealing with facts.
Wherever and whenever the dignity
of the United States is fiouted its
interests or the rights of its citizens
invaded. or its influence rebuffed
where 1t has the right TO attempt to
exercise it, this government must
deal with those actually in control.
1t is now dealing with Gen. Huerta
in the territory he now controls.
That he does not rightfully control it
does not alter the fact that he does
control it, We are dealing moreover
with those whom he commands and
those who come to his support.
with these we must deal. They
do not lawfully represent the people
OF Mexico. In that fact we rejoice,
because our quarrel is not with tn,
Mexican people and we do not desire
to dictate their affairs. But we must
enforce our rightful demands upon
those whom the existing authorities
at the place where we act do for the
time being represent"
After issuing his statement the
president cancelled routine engage
ments for the day to devote his at
tention to the Mexican situation

Vera Cruz. April 25.-Every inter
Tor city Of Mexico is holding Ameri-
can prisoners and in many places
their lives are in danger. There are
reports OF massacres. which. howey-
ct. are believed TO be mere rumors
though IL is admitted that the situa-
ton of these captiyes is dangerous.
Only the early arrival Of large bod
les OF troops and the immediate
overthrow OF the Huerta government
can save the Americans in the in
terror towns under Huerta's control.
The Mexico City papers are bitter
and some Of them openly advise
the slaughter Of all Americans.
The poems and poorer people here
cannot understand the good treat
ment they receive from the Ameri-
cans. Two days ago the warships
were Smelling the city but now that
the town is in the hands OF N,
Americans food and shelter are pro-
vided for all who need help and the
American bands gave big concert
in the city square last night.
This treatment is so much differ
ent from the way war is conducted
in Mexico by the Mexicans that the
poorer people are afraid some trap is
being laid for them. The poems say
it is the first time they have been
Wei fed in months.
Charge O'Shaughnessy is worried
about the Americans left behind in
Mexico City and fears that some Of
them will be killed by mobs.

patch has been received here from
Gen. Carranza, head of the constitu.
tional movement in Mexico in which
he declares that all Mexico will unite

port the desertion of many troops TO
join Huerta TO fight the United
States troops.

points. Il is stated that 30 Ameri-
can employees OF a big Chicago fruit
company In Mexico have been muir
dered.
4 member OF Congress today de-
clared that the administration has
been In consultation with Carranza
and villa and that villa promises 10
stand with the Americans against
Huerta but that Gen Carranza is firm
for laying aside the conflict against
Huerta for the present and turning
against the United States.
It is freely predicted that there
will be a break between Villa and
Carranza within a day or two and
that villa will try to hold his forces
TO operate against Huerta.
The war department is hurrying
more troops to the Texas and Arr
zona border and II is probable that
the national guard will be called out
not later than Monday unless there
is a great change in the situation.
President Wilson signed the volun-
teer bill today but viii not issue a
call at present.
Secretary Bryan has reports from
Consul Canada which indicate that
the situation is serious for the Ameri
can prisoners held at various points
in Mexico.
The report OF friction between Sec
rotary Bryan and Secretary Garrison
over the moving Of troops was ofiici'
ally denied today at the White
house.
