PASTOR BOUND HIMSELF,
BRIDGEPORT POLICE SAY
Assert the Rev. Mr.. Chambers
Admits He Wasn't
Robbed.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, June THE Rev.
J. w. Chambers, the young assistant pas
tor OF the First Presbyterian Church, who
was found lying bound and gagged on the
trolley car tracks near Stratfeld on
Thursday evening. admitted to-day to
Captain of Detectives Arnold that he had
bound and gagged himself. The alleged
admission came after two hours sharp
questioning.
Chambers said. the police assert, that
he had been scheduled to attend festival
given by his church. that he was late and
didn't know how to explain his hardness
satisfactorily. so he scratched his face,
rolled around in stone quarry. stuffed
a handkerchief In his mouth and bound
his wrists. When he was found he told
OF having been held up by two mysterious
men.
Chambers, who was graduated from
Princeton Ave years ago. was first seen
by a motorman. who brought his car to a
stop three feet from where the minister
was lying. The car was filled with mem
bers OF the Brooklawn Country Club. who
were on the way TO a dance at the club.
Chambers, after his wrists had been freed
and the handkerchief had been plucked
from his mouth. told of the holdup men.
The next morning he repeated his story
TO Cant. Arnold, who had him repeat the
story several times.
The captain noticed that In the first
story Chambers said he was unconscious
when the holdup men rolled him to the
car tracks but In the second he described
at length his feelings during this journey.
The captain noticed also that according
TO the one story the holdup men had
beaten Chambers until he was uncon-
sclous, but In another Chambers tainted
the moment the robbers seized him. This
led to a two hour talk. at the termination
of which Chambers, the captain says, fell
on his knees and told what he said was
the real story.
Chambers Is locked In his room In the
Young Mems Christian Association to-
n!sht with the telephone muffied. He re-
fuses to explain publicly some OF the mos
Interesting sldelights to his story. THE

VElA CRUZ. June 7.-The Mexican gum
boats Zaragoza and Bravo, which have
been ordered by Gen. Huerta to proceed
from Puerto Mexico TO blockade Tam
pico. passed Vera Cruz at o'clock this
morning. They were thirty miles OF.
and were followed a mile 'astern by
United States cruisers.
The gunboat Progreso remained in
the Alvarado River. 1t IS reported that
she has been disarmed and that her
guns have been taken to Mexico city.
The situation is regarded here as
critical. owing to the expectation that
Huerta, II prevented from exercising
his sovereign rights in eiiecting block
ade at Tampico, will regard American
interference as an act Of war, withdraw
his peace delegates from Niagara Falls
and perhaps open hostilities by attack
ing the Vera Cruz outposts.

A Fat Player In Had.

A very fat player thought he'd try his
luck anyway. because he had reached the
fifth hole and was somewhat out OF range
He started to drive off to the sixth,
but the strikers saw him and rushed in
hts direction, He quit playing without
further notice. Other players were
singled out by the caddies and matters
were looking serious when Under Sheriff
Wissendanger and ten deputies armed
with riot sticks appeared from one dlrec-
ton and Capt. Scaplon and a force of
Eastchester patrolmen from another.
The strikers broke ranks and scattered
Once scattered they specify lost their

but finally they decided to call of tho
strike and seek their old Jobs. The
leaders were driven from the clubhouse
grounds. but those malcontents who pro-
fessed repentance were taken back.
With the tumble of balls and the gen.
eral mixup the match had to be started
over again. A squad OF Eastchester police
patrolied the course and the cup was won
by Mr. Patterson, as aforesaid.

Huerta's Gunboats May Try

VILLA AND CARRANZA
REPORTED NEAR BREAK
COnstitutiOnalist Generals Are
Taking Sides in
Conflict.

The blockade OF Tampico ordered by
Gen. Huerta is to be prevented by the
United States The Navy Department
issued a statement last night repeating
that the port must be kept open.
The Mexican gunooats are due at
Tampico at o'clock this morning They
are followed by two American cruisers
with orders TO prevent any attempt to
interfere with commerce at the oil port.
The Ward liner Antilla, carrying
munitions of war for the Constitutions
alists, is expected to reach Tampico on
Wednesday. and II is believed In WASH
ington that the United States warships
will force the Mexican gunboats to per-
NIT the Antllla to land her cargo.
Reports from the border say that the
clash between villa and C4rranza Is
approaching "a crisis and that an open
break may come soon.
Mexican troops around Vera Cruz are
reported to be drawing closer to the city,
cutting telegraph lines and harassins

Expect End of WAITING.

There is much satisfaction here over
the fact that Washington will be COM
PEELED to decide the issue in regard to
the blockade and IL Is expected that tho
decision viii end the long inuctlon and
dreary waiting.
Indications here are that the Adminis-
tration in Washington is Withholding q
definite decision and no doubt is felt that
Huerta has succeeded in putting tho
Administration in a most embarrassing
situation.
There Is reason 10 believe that the
final decision Of President Wilson Is not
to interfere with Huerta's order, but let
the gunboats blockade the port II they
can. The Administration is apparently
trying to find a middle course and avoid
positive action.
1t seems certain that the question
will come up in two or three days and
remain a vital issue until settled.
Rear Admiral Badger is in frequent
communication with Washington, Deci-
sive dispatches are expected hourly
giving instructions covering the block
ade situation. Admiral Badger was pre-
vented from taking a ride to FL Tejar
this morning owing TO the rush OF
messages from Washington. Rear Ad-
miral Wlnslow and several captains or
battleships made the trip. however.
The Federal soldiers near Vera Cruz
are becoming an increasing annoyance.
For the last two nights they have been
tapping the telegraph wires between
Vera Cruz and I'll TeJar They cut tho
field telephone wires last night. Gen.
Funston is prepared to act IL the inter-
ference Is repeated tonight.
The Mexican soldiers have resumed
their practice OF interfering with tho
farmers and others who have been bring
ing food supplies into the city. Fur
thermore, four mounted detachments of
armed men approached very close to
the American outposts at Vera Cruz.

hvoke through the guard before daybreak

made his way into the palace unobserved.
The man was captured and gave his name
as Harry Pike, an engineers filter.
The speculations as 10 the object OF the
man In forcing his way into the palace
grounds include. naturally, one that he
was In the employ OF the suffragettes, but
there is nothing which confirms this.
Pike scaled the wall of the palace gar
dens near the foot OF Constitution Hi,
Notwithstanding the formidable spikes
which tore his clothes. but he was ap-
parently uninjured. Then after hiding
for while In the shrubbery he forced
an entrance to the basement OF the pal
ace and assembled to the servants quarters,
where he entered several rooms In one
of these he awole a maid servant. where
upon he withdrew after making a hurried
apology. He got into another room. where
he replaced his torn clothes with another
suit from somebody's wardrobe, and rum
mayed through several rooms after the
fashion OF burglars. He Is reported to

other things.

in bed but awake. Couple jumped out OF
bed and chased the Intruder into the cor
ridor, meanwhile raising an alarm. Pike
was ultimately arrested with the help OF
the police. He said his entrance into the
palace was tho result OF dare. The
newspapers had said apropos OF the suf-
fragettes that II would be impossible FOR
any one to force an entrance into the

was so and some OF his friends challenged
him to prove his theory. He denied tina,
he had any intention to steal lie will

They are determined IL the sentiment Is
shown overwhelmingly for Coz. Roosevelt
TO force him to run for Governor. They
believe there will be a large number of
progressive Republicans who will stand
behind the Colonel. and that in the event
OF a Tammany victory in the primaries
many independent Democrats will cast
their ballots for him also.
The only thing that deters the men
who are making the canvass from urging
the Colonel 10 enter the fight is the fear
that defeat this year will kill him as
factor in the Presidential fight in 1916.
should he win the Gubernatorial fight he
will be in still stronger position for the

party also will be strengthened through
