(Special Cable To The Tribune)
■ GALV ESTON, Jan. 16.—The United State,9 Gmisar1 Tacoma has run aground on toe, Banquillas reefs off Vera Cruz and i s m immédiate danger ofbeing ,Suilk unless ho1p cornes at once. The vessel was P,roq-,e,edin,,- :to take up its pas!; for the purpose, piotecting American , intereste 'm pe.r..il.e:cl by the révolution iri Mexico and the grounding", it is believed, was caused by Mexicaii rebels tampering with the harbor lights.. '
WASHINGTON, <fan. 16.-Tlle government is sald to have informée! General de la Huerta, chief of the Môxicscr). insurgents, that the legitimate American commerce with the- port of Tampi-co must not be interrupted by the actuai révolution. 1
Wireless distress calls from the cruiser appealed to the, Amer.ican Consul at Vera Cruz to rush two powerful ,tugs to the irese-ue' at once, cleclaring that if they were delay.ed over two hoiirs it might be too late. In the igeantime othei* American sltips in the vicinity are hurrying to the rescue.. '
In acco'Fdaîice with orders from. Président Coolidge, the Navy Deparament had ôrd-erecl the Tacoma to prbceecl to the Mexican port after the government formaliy protested the Dro-clamation issue d by the rebel leader General de la Huerta declaring' that -a blockado exists about ail Mexican oil ports.
General Huerta "s order wase to have beco.me effective yesterday but proposecl to gi-ve • three --ciay s' grace to vessels entering the port and six days to those already in' the port dèsining to. leave.
The situation, which was already so tense, may develop into a crisis' as a resuit of the accident to the Tacoma.
Feeling is reported to bave been running liigh at Vera Cruz where it was believocl tliat the vessel had. been sent there with orders to keep the port open. The tampering with the harbor lights, it is suspectecl, was an attempt to prevènt the çarrying,.out of thèse orders. ,
Président Obregon has ordered the . closing of . ail wireleiss stations in Mexico until the government is able to supply censors to be posted at each one of them. The foreign powers have asked the Président to leave the cable from Vera Gruz open for Commercial cables but no reply to this request lias been recei\'ed.'
The Takoma is a cruiser of the third class, with a tonnage of' 3,200 'tons and was'launched m June, 1923. It .is built of wood, slleath-ed and coppered and has a maximum draught of 17 feet.

"SCOFFLAW" IS
WORD CHOSEN
TO STING WETS
Epithet To Be New
Weapon Against
Drinkers
(Special Cable To The Tribune)
BOSTON, Jan. 16.—"Scofflaw" is Llie word chosen froni more than twenty' flve th-ousand suibmitted in a two hundred dollar prize compétition offered by Mr. Decimus King, of the AntiSaloon League, as the epithet best colculated to "stab and awake the conscience of the lawless drinker." The prize was offered by Mr. King early in January. MT. King is a w,ealthy resident of Quincey, Mass., who conceiveel the idea of coining a word with such a vicions sting thaï its application to the illégal drinker woulcl sllarne 11Íl11 into mending his ways.
Today,. Americans employ such relatively inadéquate terms as boozehound, rurMbihber; whiskychaser and hû.ochlapper, but they do not sting offonclers with sufficient force. In tact, it is true that many *glory in tlieir shame.
Mr. King now. offers an additional prize of two hundred dollars for, the best statement in hundred WOK'IS giv-ing the reason why a drinker 'of. Uquor, illegally obtainecl, sliould receive such, a withering naine." This compétition is held open ta any on0, and as a. point of fact. it is open to al.ljlio peo.ples of the woriel.
