TO INQUIRE ABOUT

President to Confer with Secretary
Redfeld In Role of Rescuer
Yesterday.

CORNISH, n. H., August 10-Presi-
dent Wilson is planning to confer with
Secretary Redfeld soon after reaching
Washington and to go over thoroughly all
facts connected with the Eastland disaster
lin Chicago in order to learn whether any
federal official was in any way to blame
in the disaster resulting from the over
surned steamer. Upon what he learns will
depend whether the President will recon-
mend to congress any legislation for the
purpose of further safeguarding the lives
of passengers on steamers.
He played golf today with Dr. Grayson

automobile ride this afternoon.
Yesterday as the President automobile

Wilson ordered his automobile stopped
and he and DR.. Grayson jumped out and
ran down to investigate.
They found c. c. Judd, Miss f. A.

NOT FLEEING
FROM MEXICO CITY
Oliveria Thought He Gould Assist Pan
American Conferees and Feared Oc-
cupation of City Would Not Last.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., August To-
Domicio DaGama, the Brazilian am
bassador to the United States, whose
summer embassy is located here, au-
thorized the statement today that Jose
Cardoso De Oliveira, the Brazilian
minister to Mexico City, was leaving
there at this time chiefly to inform the
Washington government and the Pan
American diplomats on the general sit
uation in Mexico.
The impression given at the embassy
was that the Brazilian minister was
not fleeing from Carranza, but that his
departure was the result Of an arrange
ment made several weeks ago whereby
the minister was to leave if conditions
became uubearable.
Cardo himself has felt at times hun
ger and his health has been impaired
by the burden and strain of the worn
in caring for American interests.
The minister several times has beer
given authority by his government tc
leave Mexico City, but each time has
preferred to continue serving the
United States.
His departure at this time is said tC
lie due however, not only to the fact
that he thought he could assist the
American conferees, but that hC
feared the Carranza occupation of thI
capital might not last long and that
communication might again be inter
rupted, making it impossible to get t
Vera Cruz.

usual Saturday afternoon tramp in
search of the feathered folk, discover
cd an owl perched in pine tree in the
vicinity of what is known as Holt 5

most extraordinary one. After study
ing the owl diligently for about two
hours, during which time there were
many "ohs = and "ahs'' from the
members of the class, it was found that
the bird was stuffed and that it had
evidently been placed there by some
practical joker. The discovery came
after Intellectual attempts to make the
bird fly had been made by one of the
students The miscreant who per
petrated the deed has not been found
