American Lives and Property in Uni

'asion of Mexico is Necessary-,No
intervention Planned.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The crisis
mas ct me at Juarez. Officials report
to The government today that seven
nuh1red insurgent troops have landed
from train On the Mexican Central
railroad, ten miles flom that town,
ana tAat hostllities have already be-
gun.
During a skirmish last night one
man was killed and two wounded.
Additional advices received at the
war department shortly before noon
today stated that a battle was rag
ing in Juarez and that several per-
sons already had been killed and manv
wounded.
Immediate effect this news was to
cause the dispatch of further messages
from the war department to military
posts regarding further movement of
troops towards the border. The Fourth
infantry, now divided between For
Crook, Omaha, and Fort Logan H
Roots, Little Rock, was ordered to se
ready with Asupplies and shelter tents
and everything necessary for border
service and to be prepared to entrain
ror San Antonio upon the receipt of
| a second message. This probably will
be the first regiment to reinforce the
border patrol, but. others are slated
for such service if todays develop
ments at El Paso appear to Justify
the movement.
The assemblage of this military
force on the north side of the Rio
Grande does not mean a project Il in.
Vaslon of Mexico, a fact strongly en-
phaslzed at the war department. I;
is added, however, that the troops will
not hesitate to cross the boundary
line to insure the safety of American
lives and property on the American
side.
There is no thought of interven-
ton in Mexico for the purpose of pa
clflcatlon or otherwise" said Secre-
tary Stimson. 'All that We propose
to do is to protect American lives and
property, and this we will do"
There is general belief here that the
MeXicans will respect a neutral zone
near the American border, and will
not invite even a temporary invasion
of American troops.
Investigation Demanded.
Senator Stone introduced resolu-
ton today that would direct the for
eign relations committee to make a
prompt investigation into condition
along the Mexican border. By this
means the resolution points out, the
United States would determine it's
specific duty in the insurrection stu
alton.
Senator Stone introduced q similar
resolution when the trouble became
acute along the border last April.
Later Reports Deny Fight.
The war department was thrown
into excitement today by telegraphic
reports of the arrival Of insurgents
near Juarez and of serious fighting on
the outskirts of the town.
These reports, it was explained at
the department, came f.'om army Of
ficers." The department officials were
startled a second time by press dis
patches from FL Paso, declaring 4here
had been absolutely no fighting in
Jua'ez or its environs.

80 Bill is Analysed.

Mr. Gardner, in a long statement
analy2ing the BILL declares that the
4 transition of the express business from
! prvIte corporations to government
control could take place in day and
the business continue on the morrow
without visible change to the public
in the effectiveness of the service. He
expects to create sentiment in favor
of the bill with the argument that
rates based upon the quantity and dis
tance of service performed would work
no discrimination against any bust
ness. wherever located, and that the
system provided would meet the OPP
position post" calling the proposed
parcels post" for a fiat rate which 4
small merchants say would work ~
the advantage OF large mail order
houses
While the bill does not fix rates,
Senator Gardner offers figures show
ing that express charges in this coun-
try are now sixteen times the freight
charges, and indicating that, under
the postal system, this ratio could be
reduced to about five and one-haIf 10
one. and at the same time the eX-
press business would be extended 10
the entire country.

Washington. d. C., Feb. 26-Sena.
tor Gardner of Maine, today intro
duced bill under which the govern
ment would take over the properties
of the express companies and operate
them as a part of the postal service,
extending the service to the rural de-
livery. ia
The bill states that the probable
cost of taking over the properties to
be rs follows:
Real property, $l4,932,1S9; equip
ment, $7,3S1 ,405; materials and sup
plies, $13S,210; advanced payments on

total of $39, 1G5,S19.
While the balance sheets Of the
companies show other assets of nearly
$150,000 900, Senator Gardner argues
that these are not intended to express
service and might BIT retained by the
corporations without impairing its
value.
1t is proposed by the authors OF
the bill for the establishment of the
postal express including members
of both branches of congress, that
