SN0WBOUND CLUB
Entertained at Social Meeting and
Dinner Saturday by Mrs. Olive 5.
Dealey

Members of the Snowb bound Club
were entertained Saturday afternoon
by Mrs. Olive S. Dealey at her home
on Pleasant st. The hours were
passed socially and dinner was served
before the departure of the guests.
This organization was formed some %
years ago, its origin having occurred
under unusual circumstances. Six
ladies started from Skowhegan to at
tend Woman S Relief Corps Conycn-
ton at Lewiston in the midst of a
snow storm, which did not abate dur
ing the progress of their Journey Fin
ally. Just after passing through the
toWn of Greene. the train became
stalled the snow having piled up to
the ear windows. The trip was thus
impeded for nearly n hours. During
the first day food was not proeurablc,
With the exceptions of few crackers
and a small quantity Of cod fish, but
the second day toward noon supplies
We're brought to the hungry crowd,
who reached Lewiston at about 3
O'Clock that night. These six ladies
were Mrs. Esther Vaughan. Mrs Nellie
Stafford, both of whom are deceased,
Mrs. Cora Pooler who now lives in
Cambridgeport. Mass, Mrs. Frank
Bickford, Mrs Abbie Robinson and
Mrs. Helen Brown of this town. AT
ter their safe arrival once more in
Skowhegan the before mentioned club
was formed to commemorate the event
and six more ladies were invited to
become guests. This formed a mem
bership which was limited to twelve.
No substitute members have been
taken into the club, and as a result
the present enrolment is only seven
members.

While peace negotiations marked
time pending formal sittings of the
South American mediators to begin
Monday. the mediators and officials of
the state department Monday were oc-
cupied with several serious phases of
the Mexican situation demanding i'm
mediate attention. Secretary Bryan
called at the Argentine legation late
in the afternoon and passed two hours
in conference with the South Ameri-
can ENJOYS, discussing the continued
detention of John r. Silliman, Ameri-
can vice consul at Saltillo by Mexican
Federals, the reported seizure of Lo-
hos island with its lighthouse by
American torpedo boats and the case
of the five South Americans under ar
rest at Vera Cruz for firing upon
United States sailors and marines
New York joined the nation Monday
in memorializing with simple dignity
the heroism of the 10 bluejackets and
marines who gave their lives at Vera
Cruz. AS the most impressive fun

SATURDAY. NAY 9

High tension marked the Mexican
situation yesterday, both on the mill
tary and the diplomatic side The
war department was the chief center
of activity and while no authoritative
statement was made beyond Secretary
Garrisons formal reply that mo ord
ers for additional troop movements
have been sent it became known that
the sending of additional troops to
Vera Cruz was under consideration
and probably would be carried out
This step would be intended, not as
an aggressive measure, but as a rea-
sonable precaution to support the
force already there in case of any I'M
toward event-Of equally serious i'm
portance was the report that two Ger
man merchant ships were about to
arrive at Puerto Mexico with large
supplies of arms and ammunition for
General Huerta.

nor the ambassador would make any
statement as to the conference, but

Mexico City stating that Foreign Min
lister Ruiz had protested to the media
tors that several United States torpe-
do boats with a transport and tender
had landed a party on Lobos island,
eight miles off the coast, and taken

SUNDAY, MAY 10

The opening of the Mexican media
ton conference at Niagara Falls May
IS, was assured Saturday when word
was received of the departure of the
Mexican delegates from Mexico City
for the conference. Preparations for
despatehing reinforcements to General
Funston at Vera Cruz, should such a
movement become necessary, went
forward, work on II transports being
pushed; but no warlike developments
occurred and the military apparently
is being kept we'll in leash in order
to avoid embarrassing the mediation
negotiations.-A threatening cloud
disappeared from the diplomatic hori-
zon when the German steamer Kron-
prinzessin Cecille, reported to be car
rying arms and ammunition for HUI
erta, returned to Vera Cruz without
debarking her war stores at Puerto
Mexico. and it was announced that the
munitions on this and the second Ger
man steamer. the Bavaria would be
returned to Germany.
