WILSON SAYS LODGE
CHARGE IS UNTRUE

LONG BRANCH, N. J., Oct 31-Pres-
ident Wilson last night characterized
as untrue" the statement made by
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, to the effect that the presi-
dent had seriously considered adding a
weakening postscript to his strict ac-
countability" Lusitania note
The president telegraphed to Walter
Lippmann, of New York, editor of the
New Republic, replying to a message
from Mr.. Lippmann regarding Senator
Lodges statement. The presidents
telegram follows:
In reply to your telegram, let me
say that the statement made by Sena-
tor Lodge is untrue. No postscript or
amendment of the Lusitania note was
ever written or contemplated by me,
except such pages that l myself in
serted which strengthened and en-
phasized the protest. 1t was suggest
ed after the note was ready for trans
mission that an intimation be convey
edto the German government that a
proposal for arbitration would be ac-
ceptable and one member of the cabi-
net spoke to me about it, but it was
never discussed in cabinet meeting
and no threat of any resignation was
ever made, for the very good reason
that l rejected the suggestion, after
giving it such consideration as I
thought every proposal deserved which
touched so grave matter.
"It was inconsistent with the pur-
pose of the note. The public is in pos
session of everything that was said to
the German government.

INCIDENT OVER
WITH DENIAL Of
MEX|C PURPOSE

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 81
Senior Eliseo Arredondo, of the Mex
ican embassy here called on Secreta-
ry Lansing this afternoon, acting on
instructions received from the Car
rama government, and formally de-
MED responsibility for a statement
attributed to Luis Cabrera, of the
Mexican-American commission, as
sailing American officials for alleged
laxity in suppressing anti-Carranza
agitators. The alleged statement,
which Senor Cabrera has since de,
MED, created a sensation when first
published. The incident is now con-
sidered closed by Washington ofic-
ials, in view of its prompt denial and
disavowal by the recognized Mexican
authorities.

Old Pecan Tree
Was Brought
Long Way

Probably the Oldest pecan tree in
the state is on the place of C. N.
Smith, five miles from Plains, in the
18th District. This tree has history
to it, too. The Smith place now, was
formerly the Wise place, and way back
in the fifties, as near as our informant
can remember, 1857, Mrs. A. D. M.
King, made a trip to Texas, riding
horseback, and upon her return
brought the pecan tree which was at
once planted on the Wise place and
has been bearing every year since it
first started to bear. The tree con-
tinues to bear pecans and more and
more every year. The nut is large
one, and it might be said that this tree
has been bearing pecans for the past
fifty years. The pecan tree is we'll
known about Plains, and the nuts are
known as the pecans that grow on the
"old Wise place" which is advertise
ment enough for them at Plains.
Mrs. King, who made the trip, a dis
tance of about thousand miles. to
Texas, returning with the pecan tree
which is bearing pecans right on, was
the grandmother of w. L. Thomas,
cashier of the Plains Bank.
The pecan tree is said to bear more
fruit every year, and it is no doubt the
Oldest pecan tree in this country.

WASHINGTON, D. c., oct. 9t.-Sec-
retary Lansing today declined to dis
cuss the Marina case, and said that
reports concerning the sinking of the
vessel were as yet too incomplete as
to permit either the drawing of con-
clusions or the discussion of the Incl
dent. Full reports, with affidavits of
survivors, have been ordered forward
ed to Washington by the state de-
partment.
Todays news dispatches saying some
the survivors saw the wake of torpe-
does, and that the ship was struck
twice, added to the gravity of tre sit
uarion. Official noted, however, that
the British admiralty was not yet pre-
pared 70 say the Marina was torpedoed
and that Consul Frost's reports receiv-
ed yesterday stated the vessel had been
sunk by gunfire.
Washington officials said this after
noon that no conclusion is to be drawn
by this government until the entire
circumstance is cleared and evidence
in legal form has been receiced and
carefully analyzed. These admitted,
however, they viewed the Marina case
as the most serious presented since the
Sussex case several weeks ago.
