GIVEN DEATH BLOW
tContinued from Page One)

Will it recognize, respect and protect the
borders? In view of the unhappy expert
ence of the preceding two years in deal
ing with the Madero administration, in
our efforts to protect Americans in Mex
leo, and to adjust diplomatic all-impor-
tant new questions at issue with the Mex
lean government, it was deemed eXpe-
dent to ask some assurances upon these
subjects. AS to all these questions were
requested of Huerta and his government
some assurances of their speedy and sat
isfactory adjustment and while awaiting
his reply the IL days slipped away. Mr.
Taft ceased to be President, Mr.. Wilson
assumed office and this is why the Taft
administration did not recognize Huerta.
Wilson's Blunder
What Mr.. Wilson inherited from Mr..
Taft was an outstanding unanswered dip
lomatic request to the de facto govern
ment at Mexico City for definite assur-
ances for the security of Mexican rights
and the adjustment of American claims
as preliminary to the consideration of
the question of recognition. What Mr..
Wilson did was to repudiate the policy Of
MS predecessor, in this as in all other
things. and create situation that made
the adjustment of American rights i'm
possible.
THE revolutions with which the Taft
had to contend were of
short duration, while there
has been in Mexico practically ever since
Mr.. Wilson came in and refused to rec
ognize Huerta, continuous anarchy.
There never was a time during the
Taft administration when there was not
in Mexico City a government recognized
in large part of Mexico and conducting
its foreign relations with the world"

entire contents. The fire commune
Gated with the barn of Harry Coolidge,
which was destroyed, with contents,
which included farming tools and a
quantity Of hay. The house of James
Covey was badly scorched. Only the
dampness of the air and lack of wind
prevented the fire sweeping the entire
corner. The fire is supposed to have
caught about the chimney. and to have
been smouldering all night. A grange
meeting was held last evening, and be-
fore leaving the hall some of the
grangers detected the smell of smoke,
and spoke of it. The smoke was at
tributed to brush fire which had been
burning nearby during the day. and no
further investigation was made There
was an insurance Of $500 on the

A pumpkin grown the year Of 1914
has attracted no little attention the
past TWO days, which is shown in the
window of the RunneIs barber shop on
Water street. The vegetable was rails
ed by Herbert Latin and for two years
has been stored in the attic of his home.
1t is in an excellent state of preserva-
ton and as the inside is hollow except
for the presence of seeds the pumpkin
is very light in weight, tipping the
scales at but a few ounces. The attic
must of necessity have been very
dry to have kept the vegetable the way
it has without causing it to rot.

Tacoma. Wash, April 21-After a
nine-year search. Mrs. W. c. Walker of
Tacoma, has just received notice from
the Chicago police department that her
sister, Mrs. Cleone Rickling has been
found there. The discovery comes in
the nick Of time. Mrs. walker said to-
day as a legacy left by her grandfather
would have reverted to the state of
Michigan if the woman had not been
found by April %.
Twenty years ago when Cleone was
four years old, according to the story
related by the family, Mrs. Walkers
father died and LETT her mother with
three children.

The baby was taken by Mr.. and Mrs.
c.. c. Pearl, who were featured with
the road show.
In a last effort to find her sister
Mrs. Walker a few weeks ago wrote
mayor Thompson of Chicago. Chicago
detectives were assigned to the case
and Mrs. Walker has just received a
letter from the department saying her
sister is living at 1881 Michigan ave-
nue. with her foster parents. She also
