STRANGE STORY
OF MISS STANLEY
OF WATERFORD
Was to Inherit WidOwer's Mil
lions After Finishing
School at Bridgton

Portland, Me-, July 9.-Marie H.
Stanley, the Waterford girl who was
found wandering about the Boston
railroad station who claims to have
forgotten her name and identity came
into public notice here four years ago
at the time of her graduation in 1910
from Bridgton Academy. Just previ-
Gus 10 her graduation, she gave out a
story to the effect that a widower of
considerable wealth residing in Gin
cinnati was to leave her close on to a
million dollars. and she made prepara-
tons to go to his home in the west as
soon as she graduated.
Shortly after this story was cir
culated by Miss Stanley and just be-
fore she finished her schooling, Prin.
Moody received a mysterious letter
purporting to have come from a Gin
cinnati millionaire. The letter inform
ed the principal that the Ohio man in
tended to leave the bulk of his fortune
to mss Stanley and that provided she
graduated with a certain high rank he
would also remember the academy
with a substantial sum and would send
to the principal some token of value.
Following her graduation. Miss
Stanley came to Portland in company
with Mrs. Harrie Knight. She said
Mrs. Knight was to accompany her
west to act as her guardian until she
became of age. Before leaving Port
land they purchased considerab BILE
quantity of clothing but shortly after
leaving the State Mrs. Knight returned
to her home saying that she believed
that the story of the fortune which
Miss Stanley was to inherit was large
ly a thing of imagination. Nothing
further was heard from Miss Stanley
until last summer when she returned
to Maine and spent a part of the sum-
mer at Naples and although this is
but small distance from her home in
Waterford, neither her folks nor
friends were visited.

This Will Remove
Hairy or Fuzzy Growths
(Toilet Tips)

(Toilet Tips)
A safe, certain method for Kidding
the skin of ugly, hairy growths is as
follows: Mix a paste with some pow
dered delatone and water, apply to
hairy surface about 2 minutes, then
rub off, wash the skin and the hairs
are gone. This is entirely harmless
and seldom requires repeating. but to
avoid disappointment it is advisable to
see that you get genuine delatone.-

end and that he will force Huerta
and his advisers TO respect the Amer
lean dignity and honor.
The President said that he was go
ing TO Congress this afternoon to
present a special situation. This
situation, he explained was an issue
between this government and a per-
son who calls himself the provisional
president of Mexico, but who has
never been recognized by the United
States in any way and never will be-
Wants Peace Only With Honor.
The President said he was uneasy
because he feared the country was
being engulfed with great wave of
patriotism that would engender en-
thusiasm for war. He declared that
he had no enthusiasm for war; that
he viewed il with fear but he did
intend to maintain that the honor
and dignity of the United States
should be respected no matter what
it might cost to enforce that respect.
The President said that the present
situation In Mexico need not neces-
sarily eventuate in war The United
States on many occasions, he said,
had enforced its demands; had block
AIDED other countries and had even
bombarded and destroyed towns to
enforce its demands without ever for
mally declaring war. This, the
President said, encouraged him in
the belief that after he had authoriza-
ton from Congress he would be able
to take steps which would drive
Huerta from his present defiant posi-
ton.
The President said that the army and
navy will be held in check to await
developments. He said the newspaper
men must be careful to get this point
of view insisting that he has not lost
patience. The President declared that To
lose patience would be an act TO weak
ness. He said that he saw the entire
| Mexican situation in about this way
that if incidents of this character were
to 20 on the situation must lead from
bad TO worse and finally to conflict be
tween the two countries. Because OF
] this, and in the interests of peace, not
of war, he has determined to halt
these incidents at any cost and that
this and this alone was the spirit II
! which the United states was acting.

newspaper men and was visibly af-
fected at the parting. In bidding the
correspondents goodbye he said:
Il have tried to be as nice to you
newspaper boys as I could hope
we will all be friends no matter what
happens"
The reporters expressed regret at
the prospective termination of the
daily visits with Portillo. In his
formal statement declaring that it
was impossible for Mexico to agree
to the demands Of the United States
for an unconditional salute, because
the flag was not insulted, the foreign
minister said:
Mexico has yielded as much as
her dignity will permit and trusts to
the fair-mindedness and spirit of JUS
tice of the American people"
Referring to this statement, the
United Press correspondent asked
Portillo:
do you feel that the American
people and the American government
are two different things?"
YES" he replied. "The governed
and the government are always two
separate elements I'm every nation.
Sometimes, the people do not agree
with their governments. l believe
the people Of the United States will
treat Mexico fairly now that they
know the facts"
It Is the contention Of the Mexi-
can government, as set forth In Por-
tillo's formal statement, the flag was
not insulted because Il was not in

we're arrested in Tampico. II is also
declared that the marines we're freed

officer making the arrests was taken
into custody and held for trial.

newspapers for publication this morn

with the United States by expressing
hope that the issue might yet be Sc

FEAR AN UPRISING
By nc IInited Press.

BY The United Press.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Every in
timation that Americans in Mexico
City are in grave danger and that
an uprising against them is probable
is contained in a code message re-
ceived by the United Press today
from its correspondent in the Mexi-
can capital.
Send American forces soon. Mex
ican forces have more than they can
handle. Will soon be too much work
for them to handle alone in the cap
ital," the message stated.
Following this message, ambigu-
ously phrased to escape the censor
was the uncoded and censored dis
patch stating clearly the steps taken
by the Huerta government to pacify
the Mexicans and telling of the
exodus of Americans from the capi-
tai. This clearly indicates that not
only the Americans in Mexico City,
but the government officers realize
that a massacre might be attempted
and that sufficient Federal troops
are not available to cope with such
situation.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-General
Huerta still has one loophole. a rank
ing member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee pointed out to-
day. He can and will, this Senator
thinks, appeal to the British. French
and German ambassadors to act as
Intermediates and attempt to adjust
the breach between this government
and Mexico.
When Secretary Tumulty was
asked II President Wilson would ac-
cede to such plan. he said: "I'm
not answering hypothetical ques-
tons"
Huerta will base his appeal on the
grounds that the vast financial in
terests of those foreign nations will
be still further crippled by armed in
tervention or a blockade of Mexican
ports.
