TOO MUCH LIQUOR IS
CAUSE OF UNUSUAL BOAST
Mexican Guerilla General Says He
Will Dine in City by Next Sunday
Americans Are Prepared-4,000 Men
Waiting opportunity-John r. SilIi-
man Trying Make Peace in Mexico.

Vera Cruz, Oct. 19.-The threaten
ing attitude assumed by a small de-
tachment of Mexicans under Gen.
Aguilar toward the American outposts
here has resulted in the strengthening
of the American lines.
Some 200 Mexcans are in a position
about half a mile from the American
outposts, and they have two mountain
guns trained on the American soldiers.
Their warlike activity is attributed
in Vera Cruz to overindulgence in Ii
quor obtained at house just beyond
the American lines.
Americans Put On Their Guard.
However. their boasts that they
were about to inaugurate an attack
that ultimately would drive the Ameri-
cans out of this port, are taken more
or less seriously on account of the
persistency of the reports that Aguilar
will not be able to restrain himself
much longer and that the impationce
of his men to enter Vera Cruz is rem.
dering his control over them doubtful
Aguilar's entire force is estimated
between 1000 and 5000 men, with sew
eral pieces of artillery. 1t is reported
in Vera Cruz that Aguilar has made a
wager that he will take breakfast in
this city next Sunday.
SiIliman In Vera Cruz.
John R. Silliman, who was sent tc
Mexico by President Wilson to dc
what he could to restore harmony
among the factions and aid in estab
fishing the new provisional govern
ment, arrived Saturday.
Mr.. Silliman expects ot go to Mexi
co City today. There he will make
an effort to obtain guarantees regard
ing the customs collections and the
disposal of funds now at the custom
| house.
An optimistic view of Mexico's i'm
mediate future is taken by Mr.. Sill
man, who expressed the belief tha
revolutionary conditions would disap
pear as soon as the convention of lead
ers reached an agreement concerning
the form of government to be adopted
and the personnel Saturday Mr.. Sill
liman had a conference with Brig
Gen. Funston and William w. Canada

PLAN WHITE WAY"
 FOR PAVED STREETS
COMMISSIONERS HOLD INFOR- MAJ CONFERENCE WITH
 CITY COUNCIL.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Da.H.
 The suggestion that the city install "white-way" system of lighting as a part of it's contribution to the busi- ness street paving district was dis cussed at an informal conference of the paving commissioners and mem- bers of the city council yesterday aft ernoon. The council, when the paw ing district was organized, agreed to pay one-third the cost of the work, and the commissioners intimated yes terday that so large contribution might not be necessary and they thought it might be well to install a new street lighting system in the business district before the paving is begun. No definite action, however was taken on the proposition Supt Leverett said today that a "white way lighting system for the district would cost about $2,500 to $3,00O.
 The commissioners are meeting again this afternoon and will possi- bly, announce the award of a contract for the paving today.

BRUCE B. KICER IS
 CALLED BY DEATH
FORMER POLITICAL WRITER FOR GAZETTE EXPIRES AT
 BLUFFTON, IND.

From Thursdays Daily
 News was received last night by members of the Gazette editorial staff of the death of Bruce B. Niger at the home of his father, w. l.. Niger, at Bluffton, Ind. MT. Niger died from tuberculosis at 1:15 o'clock yesterday morning after an illness of more than three years.
 Mr. Niger formerly was a member of the Gazette staff, for four years be- ing political writer. While in this capacity he made many friends throughout the state and was well known in political circles in practical ly every county in the state. During the month of December, 1910. he was stricken with tuberculosis. He went to the state sanitarium at Bonneville in the hope of regaining his health, but within a short time he was forced to go to Ashevile, S. C., where he en- tered a sanitarium. His health i'm proved after remaining at Asheville for about three years, and he returned to Bluffton. Later he went to De- troit, where he again entered the news spaper profession by becoming a member of theDetroit News staff. The physical effort, however, was too much for his weakened condition and within short time he was forced to again give up his work, returning to his fathers home.
 MT. Niger was known by his asso- ciates as a young man of ability, in- tegrity and moral courage.
 He is survived by his parents and his wife to whom he was married short time before leaving Little Rock-Gazette.
