President Huerta Is Calmed by
Wilson's Offer to Help in
Financing Nation.
Continued from Page 1.
he would go to Mexico City during the
day to attempt to reopen negotiation*
with the Mexican Government.
"I am uncer obligHtiona to keep
silent.” said Mr. Lind. “I would be a
poor diplomatic agent if I gave no
th® of intention*’ before I formed my
own mind on them.”
Coded diplomatic message* were
exchanged between this city and
Washington, and al*.> between Mr
Lind and Charge d'Affatres Nelson
O'Shaughneasy of the United States
Embassy in Mexico City.
At the United State* Consulate
here it wa> said that Mr. Lind had
not revealed his intentions there. It
was not even known whfther orders
had been received by the Special En
voy' from Washington to return to
the Mexican Capital.
It was pointed out, however, that
Mr. Lind s instructions wsre so com-
prehensive that he might return to
.Mexico City within his own discre
tion if he thought that good would
result from such a move.
Hale Also Silent.
William R. Hale, special investi
gator for the State Department, who
cam* here from Mexico City to take
passage to-day on the Ward liner
Moro Castle for New York, was
equally silent-
Press dispatches from Mexico City
stAted that the streets were full of
rumors and that even the press no
tices were contradictory and mislead
ing.
From the mass of rumors, however,
it was gathered that President Huerta
is now disposed to accept the pro
posals of President Wilson and prob
ably will soon give notice of hie in
tentions.
In spite of the aggressive asser
tions of Foreign Minister Gamboa in
his rejoinder to Mr. Lind’s second
note, it is known that the Government
has been influenced by President Wil
son's announcement that the United
Staten Government will Influence
bankers to make a big loan to the
Mexican Government.
It is believed that the I’nited States
will do as It has done in Central
America—tiiat is, to guarantee the
payment of the loan If negotiations
are opened under such circumstances,
Mexico probably will ask for about
$50,000,000.
Mexico Is Bluffing,
Says Col. Van Orsdale.
The United States War Department
does not expect war with Mexico, but
every preparation has been made for
immediate action, in case it becomes
inevitable, according to Colonel Van-
Orsdale, commanding officer at Fort
McPherson.
‘Mexico Is only trying to bluff the
United States,” anitl Colonel VanOrs
dale. “They do not want war any
more than we do. They know what
the outcome would be. But they do
want to rule their country in their
own way, and they believe that the
United Slates has no right to inter
fere.
"If war should be declared, the
State of Texas alone could furnish
enough fighters to completely conquer
Mexico in leas than a year's time.
Many people think that on account of
the ruggedness of some parts of Mex
ico. it would take years to completely
subdue the country. It would not
take as long now as it did Scott in
1847, for there are plenty of people in
uur border States who understand
fighting in rough country thoroughly,
and they would speedily put an enu
to every hand of guerrillas in Mexico
“The War Department does not
look upon the Mexican situation as
serious. The ruling class in Mexico
comprise* less than 20 per cent of the
population, and while that class hates
the United States, it is educated
enough to know that a war with uh
can mean only defeat. They could
not look to Japan for help, for that
country does not desire war with the
United States—at least not at pres
ent.
‘'Fifty per cent of the Mexican
people are Indians, and with the ex
ception of the Yaqula and one or two
other small tribes, they are very
peaceable. They could not be count
ed on to fight, and the remaining 30
per cent are too ignorant to care
about the Mexican Government. The
Mexican leaders know ail this, and
while they are putting up a strong
bluff, they are not looking for war
They know that the American people
do not want to fight, and they are
making the most of this knowledge.
"Although the United States does
not want war, it is now better pre
pared for a fight than ever before.
The standing army is in good condi
tion. and the War Department al
ready has complete plans for a Mexi
can campaign worked out. in cas*
war is declared. The department
heads know ju.«t what would be the
best point of entry into Mexican ter
ritory. They could instantly mobilize
troops on the border or send them to
^Atlantic or Pacific coast points for
^sptjrtsLfion to any Mexican sea-

F
Johnson Heirs Start Fight for $2.-
500 They Claim Was Prom
ised Trusted Cashier.
Further litigation over the will of
Leonard B. Folsom, for twenty years
proprietor of F’olsom’s restaurant and
hotel in Marietta street, was begun
Friday morning, when the heirs of
Jacob V. Johnson, Folsom's cashier,
filed a petition in the Superior Court
seeking to obtain $2,500 alleged *o
have been willed to Johnson.
The complaint is made against
Henry L. Folsom, of California,
nephew ami executor of the estate.
The airing of the issue in the courts
is the climax of a long and interest
ing story. Johnson, "the fal.hful and
trusted cashier” in Form's employ,
the petitioners assert was rewarded
by Ills employer by the promise of a
bequest of $2,500 upon the death of
the latter, with the provision that he,
Johnson, was still in the employ of
)laom.
In th« meantime Folsom went out
of business, hut Johnson continued to
act as cashier at the Folsom restau
rant. Soon after this Johnson died,
and later Folsom died.
The Johnson heirs now assert that
the disposition of Folsom’s business
discharged the condition of tin* pay
ment to Johnson, and as lawful heirs
they claim the $2,500 share of the
Folsom estate. The petition is signer-
by a half dozen members of the John
son family.
