ANARCHY IN MEXICO
Alarming Reports Cause Worry

AMERICANS APPEAL FOR AID
Consul Alger Asked to Furnish Pro-

Cuuacan Valley.

Advices from Mexico to the State De-
partment today indicating widespread
anarchy south of the Rio Grande caused
eral cities and towns are reported to be
in the hands of rebels. protests by Amer
leans against robberies are multiplying
and robber bands, are operating without
public.
The robbery of Americans in the Gu
liacan valley has caused CONSERVATION
and uneasiness there to such an extent
that large American interests in that
district have appealed to Consul Alger
to give them some sort of pro- cction,
according to dispatches received at the
State Department today
Sinaloa Scene of Worst Disorder.
No details to the extent of the rob-
berries have been reported to the State
Department. The district where the
crimes are reported to have been COM
mitted is in Sinaloa, in the southern part
of the republic.
DisorganiZatiOn among the present re-
bellious elements in Mexico is responsible
for no little suspense in that country,
and there is a feeling here that popular
leader who could bring the forces to-
gether would furnish a problem which
would be hard to deal with by the fed
eral government.
From all parts of Mexico reports came
to the State Department today of the
work of rebel or bandit bands, which
seemed to be acting independently Of each
other.
The rebels are in control of several cit
les and in the south where wire COM
municaticn between some of the cities
is cut off there are no reports as to
what is going on.
While anti-government forces are in
the majority in the vicinity of Juarez,
like those in the other parts of the coun-
try they lack organization. Juarez and
vicinity is reported quiet. but the Ropu-
lace there. according to the reports. are
experiencing much uneasiness.
Americans Coming Home,
No disturbances are reported along
the border line. but the conditions ex-
listing there are causing a general ex-
odus of Americans to the United States
side of the line. Much apprehension
also exists among other foreigners in
the state of Chihuahua, and many
women and children have left that dis
trict for the United States. 1t Is in
that state that large number OF
armed bands are operating.
From an American resident on the 18TH
mus of Tehuantepec comes report tell
ing of a serious state Of affairs there
Conditions in Oaxaca also are causing no
little apprehension.
So many inquiries have come to the
State Department concerning Americans
in Mexico that 1t has enjoined all its rep
resentatives in that republic to make
semi weekly reports

Protest Against Abolition Of
Senate and House Fold
ing Rooms.

Stormy weather ahead for the Smoot
bill. revising the printing laws and bring
ing about great annual financial saving
In Uncle Sans printing bill, Is seen to-
day by some members Of the Senate.
The elimination of the section proposing
the substitution Of power for hand
presses in the printing of money at the
bureau of engraving and printing, in ac-
cordance with the compromise recently
agreed to by the plate printers. has not
taken out all the features of the bill
against which objections have been
heard. No easy sailing, even now, is pre-
dicted.
Sure to Meet Opposition.
The proposal of the bill for the aboli-
ton of the folding rooms of the Senate
and the House is sure to encounter op-
position. About seventy-five men are now
employed in the folding rooms. and with
the exception of a mere handful, they
would be no longer needed if the bill
goes through. There is some good pat
ronage in the folding room jobs, how
ever, and the present holders are stirring
up members of Congress from their re-
spective districts and states to fight the
plan or abolition.
While the power press provision was in
the bill. it is said those sympathizing
with the folding room force took up the
fight of the plate printers against the
power presses. But that issue has now
been eliminated, and the folding room
men are storing UP ammunition for at
tack along a different line.
Some of the present employees of the
folding rooms may be given jobs under
the superintendent of documents, for the
work now being done in the folding rooms
is to be done under the superintendent
of documents. But not all the folding
rooms employees can be cared for in that
way, because the object of the change is
economy, and it is believed the work can
be done by much smaller force under
the new system.
Early Report Expected.
The printing revision bill is still before
the Senate committee on printing, but it
will soon be reported favorably to the
Senate. Senator SmOot, who has been
pushing the bill in order to put into effect
the saving 1t is expected to insure. will
call it up for early action by the Senate.
The printing investigation commission
of Congress is soon to draft its report on
the prope Of the charges that leather has
been taken from the government print
ing office and used for making small
leather articles, such as pocketboOks.
match boxes and card cases.
Members of the commission who have
heard the testimony declare that the
findings will exonerate practically all the
officials and employees of the government
printing Office The testimony, it Is de-
clared, has been an airing Of personal
grievances more than anything else.

CREWS FAIL TO REACH
WRECKACE IN TUNNEL
Collision of Two Trains FOL-
lowed by Fire and Heavy
Explosions.

NORTH ADAMS. Mass, February 21-
Fierce fire and heavy explosions in the
debris made it impossible for wrecking
crews early today to reach the scene Of
the collision of a passenger train and a
freight on the Boston and Maine rail-
road inside the Hoosac tunnel, and the
attempts to get to the burned cars were
abandoned until the fire has burned itself
out Railroad officials say that it was
believed impossible to reach the wreckage
before Saturday or Sunday.
Dead Number Four.
1t is thought the list of dead will not
exceed four. NJ. E. RathbOrn, conductor
of the freight train, who was thought at
first to have been killed, is safe. The
dead are members of the train crews.
The cause of the collision has not been
determined. The accident occurred about
2 500 feet inside the western entrance to
the tunnel. Large rocks, loosened by the
heat, have fallen on the tracks and have
made entrance to the tunnel dangerous.
Today all trains that ordinarily would
pass through the tunnel were diverted
over the Boston and Albany railroad.
