of the local newspapers, crowds of stu
dents and government office employees
began to gather.
By dusk a mob had assembled In
front of the American Club where
they smashed windows and howled in
suits at the American citizens inside,
all of whom they threatened to assa-
ssinate-
An appeal to the governor OF the
federal district brought police protec-
ton but not before the crowd had
shattered many OF the windows in the
club house and in adjoining proper
ties belonging to Americans.
Sing National Anthem
Until two o'clock in the morning
bands of excited Mexicans marched
through the streets singing the Mex
lean national anthem and shouting
death for the Americans"
The American club, the leading
american hostelry. and the offices of
the Mexican Herald were closed, owing
TO the threats of the mobs to burn
them and murder their occupants.
The British, Germans and French
prepared
at moments notice to gather in the
previously arranged concentration
districts, which had been provisioned
to stand seige.
Fake Stories Printed
The newspapers, probably acting
under the directions of General
Huerta, issued many extra editions. in
which they printed dispatches stating
that Ell Paso, Laredo, Nogales and
other places had been taken by the
Mexicans. Other dispatches announ-
ced that the federal troops had gained
victory at Vera Cruz. where they ey-'
pected to surround and drive the
American invaders into the sea.

Will probably so TO Mexico with Ad-
miral Winslow's squadron. The Pan
ther has been fitted out with modern
machinery and if ordered south will
carry thousands of different extra
parts for warShips and machine guns.
The papers also declared the battle
ship Louisiana had been sunk by a
Mexican torpedo. An alleged dispatch
from the south said that Emiliano
Zapata, the southern rebel, was COM
ing to join forces with General Huerta.
All the American officials employed
by the National Railroads and the
Mexican Railway Company were i'm
mediately discharged by the govern
ment in order that no trains could be

of the government.
AT the American embassy orders
were expected from the Mexican gov
ernment that the arms and ammu-

TRAFFIC LAWS ARE
DEAD LETTER HERE
IContinued From First Page1

The Motor Club agreed to note the
Offenders numbers write them letters
ana send duplicates of the letters to
the chief. But, apparently, something
went wrong in the plan for the police
department has received but one such
letter, according to Chief Hutchinson.
Where Drivers Err
The main points wherein motor ye-
hicle drivers err, according to both
the police department and the Motor
Club officials, is in not stopping on
the right side of the curb; in not taxi
ing turns properly; in lining up two
deep at curbs; and in travelling with
cut-out and smoke protector off. An
other point incited on in the traffic
code is that motors stopped in the
street must not stand with engines
running.
While the Motor Club members. ac
cording to Secretary Myton, can point
out glaring disregards of these orders
at any time during the day and right
in Market Square. Chief of Police
Hutchison explains the manifest diff
hculty of one traffic officer keeping an
eye peeled for all traffic ordinance
breakers while watching and directing
traffic Give us sufficient men," the
chief said, land we can make drivers
observe the motor ordinances as
minutely as they do in Central Park
or in Fairmount Park"
The one bright spot in the situation
apparently is the receipt of a letter
from members of 4 recently organ
iZed Chauffeurs' Club in which the
Chauffeurs Club pledged the Motor
Club that theY would observe the traf-
fic ordinances minutely and scrupu-
lousy. But the Motor Club officials
seem to think that the traffic ordi-
nance is not as closely followed by
motorists as it was when first put into
effect And the police department
thinks 1t is doing the very best it can
and invites cooperation of the Motor
Club in reporting violators.

chief reasons for his coming to Juarez
was to show the American people that
his attitude was friendly. He empha-
sized the improbability of the rebels
being brought into armed conflict with
the United States. but said, however.
that he was ready to obey orders of
his chief. CarranZa himself has made
a statement which has been variously
interpreted. While apparently consid-
cred in some quarters as tantamount
to an ultimatum for American with
drawal, Constitutionalist representa-
tives point to it as friendly in char

The President reassured General Car
rama that he has no designs against
Mexico. but that he considers it neces-
sary to demand full reparation from
Huerta for indignities committed
against the United States. He followed
up the statement by ordering troops
to Vera Cruz and to assist in forcing
the demands and moved other troops
to the international border as a pre-
caution against possible disorders and
for any other eventualities In addi-
ton to the movement of land troops

10000 Yards on Whole Job

City Engineer Cowden figured that
10000 Harus or tons or earth would
be available from the entire job. in
cludlng the excavations from the
houses that must necessarily be torn
down and graded to the subway re-
quirements.
''There'll be 10000 yards there be-
fore they're finished" SAID Mr.. Cow
den.
Wether or not the funds to pay for
the hauling Will be available is a uues-
tion that hasn't been solved in the
Department of Streets ana Public I'M
proVements. Mir. Cowuen said that
about 40, yards OF earth would be
sufnclent for the Front street fill above
Maclay streets, and this, at Il rough
estimate of 40 cents Il yard, would
mean an expenditure of in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. These figures
are not based on any definite data,
however" said Mr.. Cowden. "and the
sum per yard is just a reasonable fig
ure under ordinary circumstances"

son let it be known today that from
the first he regarded as an unwise
policy the insertion in the democratic
national platform Of the plank favor
ing the exemption of American coast
wise ships from the payment of Pan
anna canal tolls.
The president feels that platform
declaration on such a subject is relat-
ed to circumstances that arise all over
the world as well as in the United
States and that only the element
which the United states can control
into the situation, ought to be binding.
He feels that a change Of circumstan-
ces has arisen in the international as
pect Of the situation which should
change the attitude or the American
government and the attitude or the
country on the subject Mr.. Wilson
told callers today that the whole sit
'uation and the point Of view of for,
eign governments was 20 some extent
involved in the controversy. He init
mated that platform declarations
should not embrace relations with for
eign governments.
