ugly-lOoking brute, the lower portion
of his face apelike and the wool grow

an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted

For half an hour EStada hung about

closely. There was little to be done.
but l thought it best to keep the watch
reasonably busy, so they might nus

proved prompt and capable enough.

tion.
General Gonzales is another poten-
tial Presidential candidate. 1t has
been stated he intended to resign from
the army about December 5 to inaugu
rate his political campaign.
The report of the fighting came to
San Antonio from persons on the bor
der in close communication with the
Mexican capital, and there was good
reason to believe the information was
authentic.
Demonstration for Obregon
Advices received yesterday from
Mexico City said that Obregon reached
there Tuesday night and that there
was a great demonstration in his
honor. The demonstration included a
parade, reports said, and much enthu-
siasm was said to have been shown
for Obregon's candidacy for President.
The arrival of Obregon caused dis
play of much partisan feeling, it was
said. Newspapers admittedly favorable
to Obregon made the charge that the
train on which he was journeying to
the capital was purposely delayed by
the Carranza officials, so that Obregon
could not reach there in time>for the
celebration. Obregon partisans, it was
said, made up a special train and sent
it for Obregon, thus. getting him to
Mexico City in time for the fete.
Carranza newspapers were bitter in
their comments on the incident and on
the demonstration for Obregon, and the
capital was said to have been seething
with excitement since Tuesday.

Mexican Press
Criticizes u. S.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. % (By The AS
sociated Press) American diplomacy
has acted hastily and without complete
knowledge of the facts, in the opinion
of the newspapers in Mexico City to-
day, in dealing with the situation ex-
listing between the United States and
Mexico as result of the arrest of
William o. Jenkins, the American con-
sular agent at Puebla.
The Mexican governments reply to
the demand of the United States for
the release of Mr.. Jenkins is char
acterized as a prudent and energetic
expression of public sentiment.
The Excelsior" affects to see in the
American note something akin to Aus
trials demand on Serbia, and lays great
stress on the part it expects the MeXi-
can question to play in the next United
States Presidential campaign. This
journal does not see the possibility of
immediate Intervention in Mexico by
the United States.

American diplomacy "has fallen down
'amcntably in the jenkins case" and
finds in the demands of the United
s ates direct contradction of Pres
ident Wilson's statement that strong
nations should not impose on weak ma
tons. 1t declares that. "despite our
faults and imperfections. Mexico has

eral Pablo Gonzales, former COM
mander Of the Carranza forces in the
capital, says of the jenkins case that
t is a delicate matter but easy o. sou
ion when the true facts are known by
the United States.
"t.l Haralde de Mexico" voices the
sentiment, which is expressed by all
he newspapers. that although the
Mexican government has answered thu

will be no further complications.

Prosecutor Drops
Ryerson Inquiry;
NoPois0n Found
Case Is at an End, He Says
After Chemists Report ON
Examination of BodyT That
Has Been Exhumed Twice
Spec,al Correspondence

Special COrrespOndeHCo
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. Is
No traces of poison were found IN the
organs Of Theodore B. Ryerson jr., ac-
cording to the chemists who examined
them after the young mans father had
demanded the exhumation of his body
and an inquiry into his death. An oral
report was made this afternoon to DO
seph f. Stricken, County Prosecutor,
by the chemists, DR.. John Anderson
and DR.. Lloyd L. Riggs, of the Squibb
Laboratories.
"The case is at an end so far as my
office is concerned" said prosecutor
Stricken. "There seems to be no evil
dence that any crime has been COM
mitted."
Young Mr.. Ryerson, who was chlef
salesman for lock concern, died April
Ia before physician who had been
summoned by his wife could reach him.
Consequently the physician declined
to sign death certificate, and the first
exhaustion of the body took place
April % in order to comply with the
law. County Physician J. l.. Suydam
declared at that time that death was
due to heart disease.
Ihe second examination was III re-
sponse to recent request by Mr.. Ry,,
erson sr., who said he had received
anonymous letters saying that his son
had been poisoned. His demand for
an inquiry was taken by his daughter
in-law as a reflection upon her. Her
husband left no will and no children,
and his estate was inherited by his
widow.

result Of the inquiry. II haven't been

Runor Mr.. Wilson
And House Clashed
Given New Impetus
Texas Man Reported to Have
Tried Unsuccessfully to
Confer With President
Over Mexican Situation

WASHINGTON, Nov 2s.-Develop-
ments in Mexico revived to-day the
story that there is a break between
President Wilson and Colonel House.
According to an American who was IN
close touch with the peace conference,
the President was vexed at the way IN
which Colonel House dealt with the
Fiume dispute during the Presidential
tour of the West in September in be-
half Of the treaty and covenant.
Colonel House has been back a
month and has repeatedly tried to see
President Wilson. but the President
has not seen him." said The Tribune's
informant. "Whie it is true the Pres
ident is sick man, it also is true that
Senator Hitchcock and Secretary Tu-
multy have been able during the last
three weeks to see him every two or
three davs. Colonel House has been in
Washington part of the time since his
return from Paris, and all the time has
held himself in readiness to 60 to the
White House.
Seeks Conference on Mexico
"Morcover. it is understood that
Colonel House wants to tell the Presi-
dent what he knows about the Mexi-
can situation, his private sou1ces OF
information being superior to those
possessed by the government. Neither
the crisis over Fiume and Da'matia
nor the grave turn of affairs in Mex
send for Colonel House, who formerly

trouble. While the President is not
strong enough to transact anything
but the most important business, it is
fact, as shown by the record, that
he almost daily sees Secretary Tu
multy, and on the occasion of the
visit of the Prince Of Wales he passed
a good deal Of time with the prince
apparently greatly enjoying his cal: y
it was recalled to- day that the Presi-
dent when diss-ppointed over results
when he has not been fully consu ted,
and sometimes when he has been con-
suited, refuses to see the very men he
depended on for performance of the
weigNtiest tasks.
Thomas Nelson Page Snubbed
Thomas Ne son Page, Ambassador to

yecting to confer with the President

Winnipeg Mayor Wins
Over Radical Candidate
Law and Order Party Re-elects
Gray and Retains Control
of City Council
Special Correspondence


WINNIPEG, Man, Nov. 28.-Mayor
Charles F. Gray, Citizens League can
didate for reelection, to-day defeated
S. j. Farmer, the labor-radical candl-
date, by a majority of more than
1000. Returns tonight indicated the
law and order party will also retain
control of the council. OF the seven
contested seats the citizens candi-
dates are sure winners in four. Tbe
radicals probably will win two and the
other is still doubtful. Of the seven
aldermen who retain their seats for
another year four are labor.
The election was the most bitter in
the history Of Winnipeg, being fought
out on the issue of the general strike
last summer The labor candidates
had pledged themselves to reengage
policemen, firemen and other civic en-
Dloyees who lost their positions as
result of defying the order of the
authorities to return to work.
Campaign meetings were largely OF
rowdy nature. In many cases the
Mayor was prevented from speaking.
The labor candidates also ran full
ticket for the school board, but re-
turns indicate they met decisive de-
feat in every ward.
John Queen, one Of the strike lead
ers now on trial for seditious con-
spiracy, was his party's candidate
again in Ward S. Ward 6 is still in
doubt.
