United Press.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 13.-
The Tampico situation is reported to
be growing worse. Admiral Fletcher
has ordered all Americans from the
city, and the navy department has
chartered the liner Moro Castle to
90 to Tampico and take Americans
away wishing to leave.
The state department received a
wireless message from Admira
Fletcher in which he states that the
federals and rebels alike are hang
ing their prisoners of war in full
view of the American fleet and in
habitants of the city. AS result
OF this being in violation of interna-
tional precedent. Admiral Fletcher
sent officers ashore to protest.
Five hundred refugees are aboard
the American gunbOats Wheeling and
Topeka and are being transferred to
the battleships Rhode Island, New
Jersey and Virginia outside of the
harbor.
Fighting continues about the har-
Dor, with the federal gunboat Bravo
is shelling the rebel strongholds.
Rebel General Aguilar has posted
5000 troops on the right side of the
river bank and is rushing artillery
from Victoria to shell the federal gun
boats. Federal reinforcements are
also reported enroute.
Another serious Mexican situation
developed in Chihuahua City where
General Villa, the rebel leader, has
confiscated property of the Span
lads and are threatening them. The
Spanish minister has formally de
manded protection of the Spanish
subjects. Bryan has telegraphed the
American consul at Chihuahua to no.
tify General Villa he must protect all
foreigners.
1t is understood the demand from
Bryan to the rebel leaders was mark
ed with emphatic language, notify
ing Villa that he and Carranza would
be held personally responsible for
the safety of foreigners in the Mex
lean city. 1t is feared if the Span
iards are murdered it might precipi-
tate situation compelling America
to use armed forces.
Bryan has not heard from his mes
sage.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 13.-An ex-
elusive statement to the United Press
from British Ambassador Garden
says the story received from Admiral
Cradlock by wireless saying Fletcher
stopped the fighting at Tampico by
threatening to fire on the combat
ants, is false. The British ambassa-
dor says he received no such mes
sage, and says the story is untrue in
every particular.
1t has been learned semi-officially
that the Fletcher story was inspired
by interests inimical to President
Wilson. The story has been widely
circulated.

II SEEMED To
MAKE A BIC
DIFFERENCE

Last week widow from the
East Side came to the city hall
complaining that her water bill
had suddenly jumped to $40. 1t
was shown her plumbing got out
of fix and the water ran away.
1t was hard, but she had to stand
it.
This morning George Gum
complained to the council that
he had several houses and his bill
had suddenly jumped $8 He ad-
mitted his plumbing was out of
fix and the toilets leaked.
Lawson said it was not the
scity's fault.
"Well, when prominent and
substantial citizen comes in
here and presents facts like this
u think we ought to take action, "
said Mills, and he moved that
Gum be given rebate of 81 on
each house on his water bill.
Woods and the mayor also
thought Gum should be given a
rebate.
Freeland finally blocked 1t tenn
porarily by asking Gum to bring
in a written request for a rebate
/. to force the matter to go on
, record.

The council also had before it

of Lawson. This was passed.
Also the question of cleaning up

body. The rest of the PROPOSE
tions were held up until Mon
day.

Home girls are exposed to
more dangers than girls VINO find
themselves strangers and alone
in big cities.
The strange girl is aware that
pitfalls surround her and she is
alert to avoid them, That is
where she has the advantage of
the refined school girl from the
respectable home, who never
hears or reads or sees anything
wrong, whose parents rear her
like delicate lily In glass case,
so that the first breath of untem-
pered air proves too much for her
and she withers.
The home girl Is kept in ig-
norance OF true conditions and
blunders blindly ahead until she
falls into the snare.
But thiS isn't saying that the
|girl alone in a big city has not
a hard time trying to keep out
of the mire. If she has even an
other girl as companion she Is
comparatively safe.
