HAVE HOPES
OF VIRGINIA
Temperance People Believe 1t
May be Added to the Column
of Dry States.

Bristol, Tenn, Feb. 16.-The
Bristol temperance people are de-
lighted that the enabling act>was
successful before the Virginia legis-
lature, and the belief is freely ex-
pressed that Virginia will be made
a prohibition state, as result Of
the election to be held next Sep
TENDER. It is said that while the
vote is likely to be close in Virgin
la cities, some of which are ex-
pected to vote against statewide
prohibition, the vote in favor of il
in the rural districts is almost GER
tain to be overwhelming.
Friends of the whiskey traffic
are active in the hope that the en-
abling act may yet be vetoed by
Gov. Stuart, the question having
already been raised as to whether
Lieutenant Governor Ellyson, pre-
siding officer of the senate had a
right to cast the deciding vote
when that body had tied 10 to 10,
on this measure.

I knew that alcohol is the worst poison man
could take into his system, but found out it was
an impossibility to drink moderately.
For that reason, because moderate drinking is
practical impossibility, became absolute tee

moderate drinking is harmful" The fact is,

Though the Mexican crisis has been
under suppression in Congress for several
days while the President and his cabinet
executed plans of reprisals against the
defiance of Gen. Huerta, there is an i'm
pellfng undercurrent of feeling in both
Senate and House for a declaration of
war which was tempered somewhat last
night by the acceptance of offers of
mediation from Argentine, Brazil and
Chile.
Leaders in Congress had for several
days been informally discussing the ne

war. for a sweeping campaign in Mexico
and for the ultimate establishment, by

Secretary Bryan Confers With Jap
anese and Chinese ENJOYS Re
garding Protection Of Subjects.

Fear for the lives and honor of Ameri-
cans in Mexico, many of whom are wom-
| en- led to desperate efforts to get these
refugees beyond the reach of Huerta' s
vengeance, and this thought of giving
| the refugees time to get clear of the dam
ger zone was in the minds of the Presi-
dents advisers when the mediation Of
| fer was accepted.
Funds for the relief and transporta-
ton Of the refugees became available
when the President last night signed the
| bill passed by Congress providing $780, 600
to relieve the condition of American
citizens in Mexico.
Anthony Caminetti. commissioner gem
eral of immigration, was at once order
ed by the State Department to arrange
for the care of refugees at Galveston.
Secretary Daniels estimated that be-
tween 5000 and $500 refugees either are
on their way from Mexico or are under
protection awaiting departure for the
United States.

The destitute and needy will be clothed
and fed and transportation from Calves
ton to their homes will be paid. The
commissioner general says he has wired
the commissioner Of immigration at Gal
weston. Arthur Hampton. and the refu-
gees will be provided for and sent home
as soon as they arrive. More than zoo
already have arrived on the Cyclops and
more are expected today on the Es-

dispatch from Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz to the State Department stated that
10 American men. women and children
on their way to the coast from the in
terror had been put off train by the

ground. but later advices said that a
train had been sent out to pick them up

Ariz., twenty-seven miles northeast of
here. today. and while marching south
ward toward the border have been rob-
bing and firing on Americans.
C. L. Montague, American consular
agent at Cananea, rich copper mining
town forty-five miles south of Naco, Ariz.,
telegraphed to Consul Frederick Simpich
that at 5 o'clock this evening a mob of
rebels was congregating about the con-
sulate and speeches threatening Ameri-
cans were being made.
All of the Americans except Montague,
however, had reached the border safely,
Montague had remained to pack up the

Deprecates Violence.
Consul Simpich Immediately wired
vigorous note to the rebel authorities at
Cananea, advising that American inter-
ests must be protected and deprecating
any show of violence against the Ameri-
can consular agent.
Except for the acts of what was said to
be irresponsible Mexicans. the exodus of
Americans continued quietly today.
Louis Hostetter, American consul at
Hermosillo. wired he would reach the
border Monday. Americans as far south
of Hermosillo as Culiacan are to be
brought north on a special train under
protection Of Gen. Alfaro Obregon, the
rebel commander.
Most of the jefes have showed q will
ingness to assist in the departure of
Americans and fears for the safety OF
foreigners are centered only In possible
acts of the more lawless elements who
have become outspoken in antf-American
sentiment.
Mexican Raid in United States.
A raid of armed Mexicans on the
United States side of the border occurred
about twenty miles east of Nogales, when
Mexicans well equipped with guns started
from Patagonia. Ariz., to rob mining
camps on their way to the border. Amer
leans from Nogales and surrounding
towns quickly armed themselves and
started in pursuit of the Mexicans.
A long distance telephone message from
Desquesne said the Americans in that
mining camp and at Patagonia had
armed themselves and were prepared to
| fire on the Mexicans. Only eight armed
Mexicans started from Patagonia. but

IAN Mexico is being infiamed against

while the United States authorities, far

cials who left their posts. Hardly any
one but believes that this is a backward
step and means the end Of the POSSIBLE
ity of Americans living or doing business
in this country for years to come. This
step will be thought not an act Of con-
sideration, but of weakness, and it will
encourage enmity and aggression toward
the Americans

Now Ready to Wait.

No swell from the undercurrent reached
the surface today. however, but members
of Congress had predicted a storm would
break tomorrow or soon after American
troops reached Vera Cruz to support the
naval forces there. Members who were
most restive over the situation believed
last night. after learning of the ineerme-
diation proposals. that no further aggres-
sive action toward Mexico should be
forced until it should become apparent
that the good offices Of South American
nations to compose the situation would
fail.
Although there was evidence of the
feeling of dissatisfaction with present
conditions in the Senate, probably the
most remarkable evidence of unrest was
given in the House. During a day de-
voted under the surface to a discussion
of Mexico. most of the leaders were in
conference and sentiment developed was

Fears Felt for Americans.

Increasing fear for the safety
Of American citizens in Mexico
City was indicated early this
morning when Secretary Daniels
wired Admiral Fletcher to send
him as quickly as possible any
news he received of conditions in
Mexico City.
This action was taken soon
after the State Department had
a dispatch from Mexico City. the
: contents of which it refused
to make public.
A reply from Admiral Fletcher
is expected in a few hours.
