Z,0, Stocker Not Dead
In Mexican Massacre
Mrs. (Thauncey Smith, of No. 3 East
Eighth street, Friday received a tele
gram from relatives In Los Angeles
saying that her brother, Z. o. Stocker,
whom she feared had been killed in a
Yaqui Indian massache in Mexico, was
safe. The name of a William Stocker
was carried in a dispatch from Rogales,
Ariz., as one of the American victims
of the Indians, and Mrs. Smith feared
for a time that the man mentioned was
her brother, who is In the Sonora district
of Mexico.
The State Department at Washington
also wired Mrs Smith Friday afternoon
saying that the slain man was not Z.
O. Stocker, her brother, who formerly
lived here.

WASHINGTON. May 14.—Count
Von Bernstorff. the German Ambas
sador to the United States, called
upon Counsellor Lansing, of the

On leaving, he was asked if he had
read the press reports declaring the

”1 have read such reports,” he sfild,
“and they are wrong.”

BERLIN, May 14.—The American

Americans in the "war zone” waters

sador. \

Experts See Germany
And U. S. Deadlocked
By A. M. JAMIESON.
(Special Correspondent 1 nternational
New# Service.)
WASHINGTON. May 14.—The
meeting of President Wilson’s Cabinet
to-day was devoted to an analysis of
the public reception of the President’s
note to Germany. Most of the Cabi
net members make no secret of their
elation over the general satisfaction
and acclaim with which the note has
been greeted. Many telegrams were
read commending the note and prom
ising the President support in what
ever action he may take.
The Cabinet practically has aban
doned its consideration of routine and
departmental problems to devote its
time to the foreign situation. Dif
ferences said to have existed In the
abinot as to the treatment of the
Lusitania, question now have disap
peared, and the President is receiving
full support of the Cabinet.
Expect German Refusal.
That Germany will not yield to the
demands of the United Staes, but will
justify her submarine warfare and
will assert her right to continue the
plans she has laid out to destroy the
commerce of England and all other
nations no^ carrying munitions of
w ar and other supplies to her enemies
is the prevailing opinion in Washing
ton offleal circles to-day.
Then what?
Germany herself must determine.
But it is not believed that Presi
dent Wilson and his advisers will go
further than to denounce Germany as
an outlaw among nations, for war—
actual fighting—is not regarded as a
possibility, as Germany is the one
belligerent that can not at this time
strike back at the United States. All
her warships, except submarines, are
behind fortifications, therefore she
can not send soldiers across the At
lantic.
To Avoid Warlike Step.
“On the other hand, it is not be
lieved that the United States would
send her soldiers to European waters
when there is nothing visible to flghL
The President, it is declared, will di
rect his efforts to the avoidance of
