Counsellor Sent Away by the Pro
visional President Savs 4 That
Mexicans are Tiring of His des
potic Rule and Are Planning to
Overthrow Him
(Special to the Journal)
. VERA CRUZ,- May 19. Dr. Aure-
laino Urrutia, ex-minister of the in
terior, declared here today that he
Jcft the capital because he feared as
assination and in the belief that a
revolt-y would shortly occl-t in the
City of Mexico.
"I left the capital he sid, "for
two reasons. .The-first was a know
ledge of a plot among General Huerta's
close political supporters to assassi
nate, me, 'they saying I knew too much.
Second there hs been planned a general
revolt of the people and the army."
Twice arrested and hustled through
the streets by American soldiers, and
hissed and threatened by his country
men, Urrutia was forced to face yes
terday some of the indignities to which
he subjected others while he- was high I
in power at the capital. He expects
to sail for Europe at the first oppor
tunity. The cry '"Let us witness that
" American' justice be done,." shouted by
crowds of Mexicans,' through the streets
last night, today found reflection in
a request to General f unston that the
fugutive be detained until a new gov
ernment and a new judiciary has been
formed at Mexico City and charges
can be filed for the alleeed crimes per
petrated by Urrutia while he was min
ister of the interior.
There appears little likelihood, how
ever, that . Urrutia will be held. At
one time General- Ftinston did tell
him to leave as soon as possible but
relenting he sent word to him he might
remain in 1 Vera ' Cruz temporally.
Urrutia professed that his only,, desire
' was to remain hereunder protection
- ''of the Americans. ' 1
' ' Later, however,' he decided togo to
"i Europe. . This decisions-was due to
the attitude of .his -own people rather
' than any lack; of hospitality von the,
, part of .the Americans, v" After' he had
leeii take' to' a hotel from the police

Boston Millionaire
I To Locate Here
Dr. Earl; S. Sloan Purchases Im
mense Tract of Land Near New
Bern. To Build Up Estate Equal
to That' of Biltmore
Purchasing from J. W. Stewart a
tract of land containing four hundred
and fifteen acres and also acquiring
another tract of twenty five acres
from Craven county adjoining his
first purchase, the whole located on
Trent river, two miles'. West of New
Bern, Dr. Earl S. Sloan, the discoverer
and manufacturer of the famous Sloans'
liniment and whose home has for years
been at Boston, Mass.) plans to erect
a mansion and build up an estate
which will equal if not surpass the fa
mous Biltmore estate in Western
North Carolina.
Dr. Sloan came to New Bern sev
eral weeks ago . to investigate the ad
vantages of this section and, after
traveling, all over the. United States in
search of a desirable location, decided
to' locate ' here and at once began ne
gotiations tending 'to the purchase
.(of the property which is more famil
iarly known as the Colonel Ransom
estate and these; : were .concluded yes-
terd.ay. " : .'' '.- '
s'The'i tract of land question has a
river'i frontage of about one . mile, ; is
covered' with one oP.the prettiest pine
groves in .North Carolina and has . a
spring on tt'which has often been called
"the, spring of eternal youth." The
warer from this spring is. crystal clear
and at all times retains an even tem
perature', making it cold and sparkling
in the summer months aftd of an even
temperature in the winter.. The over
flow; from "the", spring '. will be turned
into a fish pond and this will be stocked
by niiinerous " varieties .of the "finny
tribe. . ' ' ' . , ' t'r, ':. '
. 'Imjmeiately afte'ttmg the pur
chase Dr Sloan telegraphed Robert L.
Smallwood, a New York architect and
a former: New Bernjftn to draw up
plans for a home to contain about
fourteen rooms. There will be a home
for the caretaker of the estate, garage,
boat house, an observation tower and
a building in which will be located
the pumping station to be used in sec
uring and furnishing water for the place
and also the plant which will generate
the electricity to be used. The con
tract for the erection of these buildings
is to be awarded to a local firm, and as
soon as the plans are ready the ac
tual work of construction will begin.
The type of the home of Dr. Sloan
will be of the Old Englsh style and the
architectual beauty, it is said, will
not be surpassed by any in the State.
Dr. Sloan will become a citizen of
Craven county and in conversation
yesterday with several newspaper men
stated that he hoped to be able to
give material aid in making this couii
ty one of the leading sections in the
South. While much of his time will
be taken up with superintending and
arranging for the erection of his estate,
he has also (riven .orders for the construc
tion of a handsome yacht which will
be used ftiit a; pleasure boat. Running

MRS. VICTOR HIT
LEAVES LOUISA
FOR RICHMOND
Widow Accused Of Murder Makes
Trip Alone.
BIG CROWD
AT
STATION
Charged With Having Killed
Iler Husband Several Weeks
Ago.
(Special to the Journal
RICHMOND, Niav 1. Recogniz
ed by only a fewof the several hundred
who had gathered at Man street
station, Mrs. Victor Hall, under in
dictment in Louisa County for the mur
der of her husband 011 the morning of
April 15, and forbidden to remain
within the borders of Louisa count v
until her trial, arrived 111 Richmond
last nilit. Afler experiencing some
difficulties in securing a vehicle the
forlorn woman proceeded at once to
the home of her coi'Me V I lowdv,
2114 enable si reel.
Mrs. Hal! was unaccompanied and
there was no one al the station to meet
and greet her. Detective M. V Angle,
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railwav
sccret service, who continued his in
vestigation into the burning of the
C.reen Spring depot, came down on
the same train, but did not force his
presence on the woman nor oner to
molest her further. Mrs. Hall is un
der a S5,000 bond for her appearance
ufore Judge George S. Shackleford
in the Louisa Court on July 14, the
late on which her trial has been set, and
he w ill be free and untroubled by de
tectives while she is in Richmond.
A large crowd was at Louisa court
house station when Mrs. Hall arrived
from the home of her attorney, R. Lind
say Cordon, to takv (he train. She was
accompanied only by Mr. Cites, a mer
chsnt of Louisa Court house, who has
evidenced great interest in her, and who
s one of the few who has proclaimed
his belief of innocence.
Detective Angle offered his help, and
told her kindly I hat she would probably
ie subjected to curious stares while on
the train. According to him, she re
plied that she could stare as well as
thers, and seemed i4 be unperturbed bv
the scrutiny and curiosity her presenct
would naturally eciie. f ifteen miles
east ol Louisa t oiutliouse station Mr.
Harris, a bridge tender, who has known
her for some time approached her, and
they conversed toguhcr the rest of the
way to Richmond, occupying a seat
somewhat distant from the detective.
Mrs. Hall requested that she be not
followed by detectives and newspaper
men and she was not interrupted.
Arrived at Main street station she
lingered behind the people who de
trained, and walked slowly through
the waiting crowd, succeeding in hid
ing her idenity from the majority who
sought to catch sight of her. Harris
left her immediately, and the woman
was absolutely alone, an alien within
strange gates. She had been expected
by her cousin on Saturday night, and
there was none to meet her. ft was
with some difficulty that she secured
a carriage, and so fearful was she of
being shadowed that she refused to
give the owner of the vehicle the ad
dress to which she wanted to be driven.
She said that she would tell the driver
as soon as she had gotten away from
the station, and so it was agreed. But
fears that attempts would be made to
interview her and that detectives
would be forever hanging on her heels
were groundless, ad Mrs. Hall will be
as free from intrusion as though she
were again in her own home.
