MEXICAN DICTATOR
WILL BE BOYCOTTED
Withholding Money from thr Southern
Republic Believed lo Insure Hi*
Dow nfall Now Losing Power.
(From Friday's Dully.)
Washington, Nov. lit -United support
from the grent powers abroad fur the
American policy toward Mexico shown
in a variety of quirt diplomatic aotivitif
guvo President Wilson and Seoratnry
liryan a confident feeling today that the
Ielimination of (Seuernl Huerta a* pro
I visional president of Mexico would soon
bo an accomplished fact.
That the financial blockade instituted
Ijy the United States tin eff ctively tied
the purse string* of Europe, that diplu*
malic pressure was being exerted on all
aides at Mexico City, that close friends
of lluerta were applying their influence
and persistent resorts saying Huerta had
gone into mysterious seclusion raiseU
the hopes of the Washington govern
ment that it is making definite progress,
toward solving the Mexican problem.
President Wilson had prepared early
in the day a statement of the situation,
reciting what had been attempted in the
communications presented by Charge
O'ShaugnesBy and John Lind, but within
a few hours such favorable advices were
received as to cause the president to
withhold the document from publica
tion,
Not Ready to Talk
"There are elements in this ease,'1
eaid the president, "which I cannot at
present discuss, but which make it look
to me very much more favorable."
The president spoke thus of the situ-
ation to a half hundred Washington
newspaper men.
Asked about the word "favorable,'' he
explained he meant "favorable to a set-
tlement." The president gave no details
to show the basis of his optimism, but he
made it clear a primary condition of
settlement was the ousting of Huerta
and all those who stood for the condition
of government he was conducting.
Get Secret Dispatches
It was evident the president had re-
ceived important dispatches, but he de-
clined to say whether they were from
Mexico City or Nogales, the constitu-
tionalist headquarters. It was learned
from other high officials the plan of
financial proposition was bearing fruit
and the plan for Huerta'e elimination
was being acquiesced in by foreign gov
ernments, especially some of those which
bad previously recognized him and upon
whom he had come to rely for aid.
Huerta's friends Slipping
One of the import factors in the situ-
ation which caused Washington calmly
to await developments was the report
through authoritative channels; that
members of the Huerta official circle
were now divided, some of them urging
his resignation to avoid international
complications. They were reported to
be using every effort to prevail upon
him to make a formal announcemant of
retirement at a tixed date.
Bankruptcy May Cut Figure
The situation has progressed to the
point, in the view of many officials
where even a definite rejection of the
American demands by Huerta would
not alter his future materially. ConH-
dence prevails that ho is drifting into
certain bankruptcy and cannot resist
much longer the pressure exerted
against him.
Another influence which is expected
to contribute to Huerta's overthrow i9
the extension of moral support to \the
constitutionalists. If pressed to the
extremity, the American government
will lift the embargo on arms and
aid the constitutionalists in composing
tbe situation. There is still a hopeful-
ness among high officials that such a
step will prove unnecessary.
What Will Rebels Promise?
The United States has offered no
mediation to the constitutionalists, but
simply has endeavored to learn what
protection would be promised to for-
eigners and their property and what
would be the program of action of the
constitutionalists if they were suc-
cessful by arms.
The Washington government realizes
that, even should Huerta announce his
jntention to retire, a competent ma-
chinery of government would have to
be substituted, and negotiations for an
armistice and peace arrangements look,
ing toward a fair and treb election
would have to be carefully worked out.
The United States purposes to help in
anyway it can. affording a medium of
communication, between Nogales and
Mexico City, if desired and otherwise
contributing toword a peaceful solution.
Hale May Be Peacemaker.
For this reason the progress of Wil-
liam Bayard Hale's conferences with
General C&rranza are regarded as an
important phase of the American peace
program.
There is a feeling among administra-
tion officials that if the constitutional ■
iste are as sincere a.- hat been represen-
ted desiring chiefly the restoration of
constitutional government—little diffi

C. W. McAfee, a Former Hobart Citi-
zen, Tells of the Murder of His
Wife and Children
(From Thursday's Daily.)
C. W. McAfee, a former Hobart man
who spent two years in a Mexican pris-
on, who was twice led forth with Ken-
neth Turner, the correspondent, to be
shot, and whoso wife and children were
murdered in his presence, whs in the
city yesterday, a mere ghost of his for
mer self.
lie says he had a ranch near the city
of Chihuahua, Mexico, ami had resided
there about four years when war broke
out. A little over two years ago, he
was arrested h\ the rebels and thrown
iuto prison.
It was while he was in irons that he
witnessed the murder of his own chil-
dren, his wife having previously been
outraged and murdered by the blood*
thirsty demons.
For two years without a charge l>. ing
preferred against him or without a
form of trial of any kind, he languished
ih a foul prison, being frequently de-
nied food for two or three days at a
time, and the diet usually consisted of
bread and a pint of water. The lack of
fresh moats and vegetables caused him
to. have scurvy, which in turn caused
him to lose his teeth and so affected his
vocal organs that he can now scarcely
speak above a whisper.
After Chihuahua was retaken by the
federals, McAfee and several other
Americans and other foreigners were
taken to the international boundary
lino near Eagle Pass and liberated.
But owing to the unsettled conditions
of thingB in that Kepublh they were
given no assurances of a redress for the
wrongs they had suffered.
Through the influence of Senator
Gore and Representative Scott Ferris,
the state department has been induced
to take tbe matter up with the Mexican
government, but so far nothing has been
accomplished, owing to the disturbed
condition of that revolution-ridden
republic.
Mr. McAfee has lost everything he
possessed—his family, bis health, his
property. He is now an object of
oharity and can never hope to regain
his health or former station m life.
There is nothing left for him but a sad
remembrance of outrage and murder.
Tbe afflicted man lived in this city
tor several years after the opening oi
tbe new country to settlement, being at
various times in the employ of tbe
Big Four Restaurant, W. H. O'Hara, W.
A. Armstrong and John Rogers.
NO RESOLUTIONS WERE A00PTED
(From Friday's Daily.)
The report that at a massmeeting held
at Mountain Park the other day that
resolutions were rdopted condemning
Judge Toloert of this city, Judge
Johnson of Lawton and the Supreme
Court for their rulings in the Swanson
oouuty cases, seems to have been with-
out foundation. It is true that a call
for a mass meeting was made, but it is
now claimed, upon what appears to be
good authority, that the number
responding to the call was bo small that
action was deferred. However, it is
claimed that an organization was
perfected and that committees were
appointed to draft resolutions, but for
what purpose could not be ascertained.
it is quite probable that the meeting
was not called for the sole purpose of
condemning those officials whose duty
it was to paB9 upon the questions
affecting Swanson county, but its real
purpose has not been disclosed.

Sportsmen I'nnble to Determine
Whether Sunday Hunting
Ih Permissible.
(From Friday's Daily.)
Whether or not it is agninst the law
to hunt in Oklahoma on Sunday is one
of the mooted questions at the present
time ami one, too, that is bothering the
sport lovers A great deal,
In every locality there are men huot«
ing on Sundays, believing that the law
permits it, but the giinio wardens are
continually threatening their nrrests.
Since the duek season opened, Sunday
hunting has been the program through-
out the state and new that the deer,
quail and turkey season is to open
November 1>r> tbe problem becomes even
more puzzling.
Judge Jim llnrrisof Oklahoma City
who is one ef the best known sports*
men in the state, was chairman of the
commission named to revise the Okla-
homa code. Harris is president, too, of
the state sportsmen's league, He re-
wrote several sections of the gnme law
while codifying it and provided among
other things that it should be lawful to
shoot on Sunday except near a church
building or a public meeting, Tbe
hunting of quail on Sunday he forbade
The stnte game nnd tish warden, John
Doolin, has given this information to all
hunters who have applied to his office
for information on the subjeot but in
addition he has advised them to make
inquiry of their county attorneys as to
the application of the general Sabbath-
breaking laws. It is contended by
some that the general law prohibits
Sunday hunting.
The responsibility of enforcing the
now federal game regulations in Okla-
homa has been thrown by State Game
Warden Doolin, on tbe federal game
officials. The government agricultural
department has named V. Visart of
Little Rock, Ark., to be superintendent
of the Oklahoma-Kansas-Arkansas
district, as provided under tbe new
regulations for protection of migratory
birds, and according to Warden Doolin,
the superintendent was selected from
a state with the most lax laws.
Warden Doolin was requested by tbe
biological survey to name six deputies
to serve in Oklahoma under the federal
district superintendent, but be hat
announced tbat he would pera-ii
Director Visar to pick his own assistants
in Oklahoma.
Both in Texas and Kansas tbe sports-
men's association are requesting an
amendment to the new federal regula-
tions that govern in those states. The
TexaB hunters want the open season on
ducks to begin October 1 instead of
November 1 as at present, declaring
that October is the only good duck
shooting month in that state. In
Kinsas the hunters want an amend-
ment tbat will give them two weeks of
spring shooting whereas under the
federal regulation^ they have none in
the springtime. It is suggested tbat
two weeks of tbe open season in
December bo taken off aid that two
weeks in March bo substituted.
