President TAFT SAYS THAT
AMERICANS MUST have
AMPLE PROTECTION.
This Action Sets a Precedent in Present
Revolution-Cruiser Maryland to Go
From San Diego, Cal.-Many U. S.
Citizens Are Held Prisoners-Rebels
Looting and People Face Famine.

ngton.-President Taft prob
ably will send a warship soon to the
west coast of Mexico to enable Ameri-
cans isolated in Sinaloa and other
states to leave the disturbed districts.
A state department announcement de-
clared this action likely in view of the
general anxiety for Americans in those
localities.
State department officials pointed out
that with the suspension of railroad
communication and interruption of tele-
graph service, American citizens on the
west coast of Mexico, especially at Los
Mochis, in Sinaloa, where there are
many Americans, as well as in the
vicinity of Mazatlan, are isolated. This
fact, together with many reports of in
creased lawlessness on the west coast.
is causing much anxiety to Americans
in the region affected and to their
friends in the United States.
Will Set Precedent.
The sending of an American vessel
to the coast of Mexico sets a precedent
in the present revolutionary disturb
ances, as heretofore the United States
navy has refrained from cruising in
Mexican waters. A British vessel last
year, however, landed marines on the
western coast of Mexico to enable
foreigners to escape the effects of
threatened attack by rebels.
The armored cruiser Maryland is at
San Diego, CAL, the gunboat Yorktown
is en- route north from Guatemala, to
San Diego, the gunboat Vicksburg is at
Panama. 1t is probable the Maryland
will be the vessel selected.
| Demands have been made on the rebel
authorities at Chihuahua by American
Consul Letcher for the immediate. re-
lease of two Americans imprisoned

ment since March 16, but the American
oihclal has just learned of their plight.
Iheir names were not given.
To Rescue Americans.
Tucson, Ariz.-With the intention of
rescung 30 United States citizens and
any other foreigners who are now be-
lleved to be cooped up in Navaloto, on
the west coast of Mexico, Nelson
Rhoades Jr, together with several other
men, have chartered the steamer Quay
man and are now en- route to Alfalfa.
A report reached here that the rebels
who entered Culiacan about 10 DAYS

SANTA'S CHURCH
GIFTS GENEROUS

Unusually generous were many of
the special Christmas offerings taken
by the churches of the city, and the
amounts received by those which take
their special collections on Easter Sun
were larger than usual.
Among the Catholic churches st.
Patrick's Cathedral led with SO, 600.
Other collections were: st. Columba's,
$1,000; st. Rose of Lima, 81, 735. 70; st.
Michaels s1,76O: Blessed Sacrament.
1880; Our Lady of Good Counsel,
$1,000; st. Bridget's, $1,000; Sacred
Heart, 5000; st. Augustine's, s67s; st.
Lucy's, 1928.
Very few of the Protestant churches
asked for special Christmas offerings,
these being held at various times
through the year.
The Centenary M. E. Church's coll
lection was nearly $500.
The Episcopal churches of this
diocese take only the regular offering
at Christmas, and use it for the aid
of the aged, INDECENT and underpaid
ministers n the widows and orphans

YOUNG YEAR BIDS
1871 A LOUD AD|EU
Horns and C0wbells Vie With
Whistles in Noisy
Demonstration.

Nineteen hundred and twelve was re-
ceived in Newark with all the joyous
ness and racket which it's young con-
s~titution could stand. The celebrators
let loose as soon as the Sabbath de-
parted and the numerous whistles an
nounced that 1911 was no more. Horns,
cowbells, many new ear-splitting de-
vices and q few original ones in the
shape of ash cans and so forth added
to the din.
1t was evident, however, that the
custom Of New Years calling was re-
vived n house parties were the order
of the day. Many organizations held
open house" at their club-houses and
headquarters and everybody seemed
intent on placing the initial day of the
year in keeping with the happy New
Year"
From 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Until I in the evening the members of
the Jeffersonian Club and their friends
co~ngregated at the clubhouse, 96 Hal
sey street. The committee in charge of
arrangements here had taken every
precaution to insure the visitors of a
good time. At the Leni Lenape Club
hundreds of well-known Democrats
dropped in from time to time and New
Years greetings, resolutions and gen
eral good fellowship were largely in ev-
idence.
Holiday entertainments were also
provided at the various city and county
institutions. About 5000 patients at
the State Hospital for the Insane were
treated to a vaudeville show. The pro-
gram, which was prefaced by an
amusing speech by DR.. Britton D..
Evans, the medical director, included
feats by some of the inmates, and the
perfect order which prevailed during
the entertainment showed how highly
it was appreciated.
Open house was held by the Young
Mems Christian Association at Wallace
Hall. A sketch was enacted and
motion pictures of the worlds series
baseball games shown. Several adj
dresses were made by officers of the
local branch Of the association and ex-
hibits held by the classes in the model
ing of clay n aeroplanes. The vari-
u Sunday school clubs which took
part in the baseball contests during the
summer were awarded prizes according
to the final standing. During the
tourhdileHt OF ropid mouelS nelu
in Military Park during the afternoon
Percy w. Pierce, a Philadelphia boy,
was present with the model which won
for him the American championship for
distance and endurance with the
models. HIS model made a fight of
nearly 1900 feet and remained in the
air seventy seconds. Other boys x
hibited their wv models.

The report of County Supervisor Ed
ward Schickhaus was a lengthy one
In it. he made a recommendation that

proved to be unsatisfactory it be placed
under control of the State. II this
should fail he suggested that relief be
asked from the Legislature. Action on
these suggestions will be taken later.
Among other things Mr.. Sohickhaus
suggested the erection of a building
for tuberculosis patients at Overlook,
saying that at the present time about
thirty of the patients are a menace to

He also suggested that a chicken
