WILSON MAY CALL
ON POWERS TO AID
Hexico City Facei Starvation with
Outside Relief Barred and
Washington Worried.
CONDITIONS WORSE THAN EVER
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Some Local Office Holders Said to
Hare Won a Few Converts from
Among the Corporations.
POSITION OF THESE INTERESTS
WASHINGTON, March 6. Presi
dent Wllron was confronted tonight
with one of the most serious and per
plexing developments that has ever
arisen In the Mexican situation.
Mexico City Is on the verge of starva
tion. General Obregon, the Carranza
commander, refuses to permit an In
ternational relief committee com
posed of wealthy members of the
foreign colony to succor the needy.
"Mexico needs no foreign aid," the
general Is reported to have said.
Mont Open Stores.
All merchants who closed their
stores have been ordered to reopen
under threat of punishment. Three
hundred of them, all Mexicans, havo
been Imprisoned. The people of the
city are living In terror of another
evacuation since Obregon has an
nounced that he will not prevent
looting or pillaging for food or
money.
. The Brazilian, British, Spanish and
Italian ambassadors called separately at
the State department today bringing
pessimistic reports of the situation which
'corresponded to reports already received
tiy the American government. The for
eign diplomats suggested no solution.
Drvnn Sends Trlea-ram.
Secretary Bryan announced that he had
sent an urgent telegram to American Con
sul Sllllman with instructions to lay the
situation earnestly before General Car-
. ranza, so that General Obrepon might be
ftlrerteil to accept the proffered aid of the
foreign residents. Freight service is
suspended between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz. Transportation facilities for relief
purposes are being withheld by General
Obregon on the ground of military neces
sity. President Wilson was advised of all the
facts late today as revealed In official
messages nnd the reports from the for
eign ambassadors. Tonight the president
was reported to be studying the various
phases of the question closely. Should
lieneral Obregon continue to refuse out
side aid drastic measures might be neces
sary in view of the foreign diplomats.
TOore Terrlblo Than Kver.
The situation is described by them as
more intolerable than It ever has been
since revolutionary troubles began In the
southern republic. Talk of an allied ex
pedition similar to the one that went to
' the relief of foreign legations at Peking
during the Boxer uprising - was again
heard In official quarters, where it was
generally admitted that a grave condition
of affairs had arisen.
For the present the outcome of the
telegraphic correspondence with General
Carranza will bo awaited. Hitherto he
has been reported as standing by all the
activiiles of General Obregon, whose pur
pose, according to official reports, seems
to te to force the loww classes to en
, list In the Carranza army or starve.
All sorts of .wtid rumors . are afloat
,Jn rxico City,, due ,' the Incendiary
utterances of General Obregon, who, In
newspaper interviews, - has practically
sanctioned plunder for food,
C'arransa Appealed To.
" General Carranza hai been asked by
the American governmtnt 'to. Instruct
General Ogregbn to take soma measures
to protect lives and property af ftrVbjnr
ers, in the event of am evacuation. . The
people fear the 'water supply may be
shut of and the electric light cables
may be cut, thus leaving the city in
darkness at night and permitting the ir
responsible element ' to commit wanton
depredations.
Just why the 300 merchants were Im
prisoned has not been revealed. They
were reported to have appealed to Obre
gon for relief from a heavy tax, which
he Imposed on them. Secretary Bryan
said that so far as the State department
had been advised, all the Mexican priests
arrested for failure to contribute funds
demanded by Obregon, were still In
prison. '
The international relief committee,
which raised about 260,000 pesos, was
not permitted to aid the poor, according
to official dispatches, because General
Obregon declined ot accept funds re
stricted to any definite use. He desired
that the foreigners pay the tax, recently
levied, but revoked on representations
from foreign governments without ques
tioning how It would be used.
Mast Accept Money.
The latest decree put Into effect by
Obregon provides that all merchants not
only must open their places of business
under threat of punishment, but that any
person refusing to accept Carranza fiat
money will be Imprisoned.
Beyond saying that conditions were
much worse than they had ever been
in Mexico City, the various foreign diplo
mats, who called nt the State depart
ment, did not discuss the situation or
indicate the attitude of their govern
ments. All of their ministers at Mexico
City have instructions to withdraw from
the capital at their own discretion, but
In the circumstances they are desirous
of remaining so as to exert what in
fluence they can for the relief of the
starving population.
As a last resort local officeholders and
antl leaders are said to have won a cer
tain measure of corporation assistance
In their fight against Oreater Omaha.
The corporations, as such, are said not
to be for or neilnst the measure, but
' ecrporatlon officials, as individuals dis
tinguished from corporation rulers, are
I letting It bo known that they are averse
to the passage of the Oreater Omaha bill,
I It is asserted by consolidatlontsta.
) One corporation official is quoted to the
'effect that: "It Is a cold proposition with
! us We know what we can do here, tut
I in a Oreater Omaha It might be dif
ferent" Ono well-known stockman asserted that
! he was advised not to make the trip In
favor f the measure, although others
have made the trip to lobby against the
bill.
"Dad" Walker Dead.
H. J. Walker, known for a decade hire
as "Dad." died Thursday at Wise Memo-
1 rial Omaha hospital, following an opera
tion, aged 49 years. He was a brother of
W. H. If. Walker of the Health Omaha

Cadahy florins; for Water,
The Cudahy company will supply its
own plants with well water after having
concluded the well borings which It Is

below a depth of 2.500 feet, but that the
borings will continue to 4.000 feet Al

wells averages several hundred gallons a
