Admiral Fletcher evidently has con-

which the Avenida de Independence Is
the main artery. On this street are
the cable offices, practically all the i'm

eign, the municipal palace. the hotels
and the cathedral. The Avenida de In
dependencia is a brilliantly lighted
thoroughfare. the Broadway of Vera
Cruz. and half a dozen short blocks
from the American Consulate is the
little plaza in front OF the so-called
Municipal Palace" 1t is the rendez-
vous of all Vera Cruz society.
1t is a small affair, with the palace
on one side the cathedral on the otner
and hotels on the others. Here, for
the last year, Americans. civilians and
officers from the battleships in the
harbor, have found their only reIaxa-
ton and the solace of talking things
over.
The harbor at Vera Cruz is so shall
low that the bigger vessels Of the navy
cannot get inside. Even the trans
port Prairie, which does not draw
nearly so much water as do the Dread
noughts Florida and Utah, which fur
nished their quota Of the landing
force. is too big to enter. So the
Smelling by the Prairie must have been

than two thousand yards The Prairie

1t is, however against all rules and

harboring the enemy's artillery or

out of Huertas hands was to seize the
custom house. to which the arms must
be delivered by the captain Of the Ger

twenty-four hours to embark and about
sixty more to get to Vera Cruz.
The attack from the Mexican forces
at Vera Cruz came as something Of "a
surprise. 1t was thought and hoped
that when the time for action finally
came the ports could at least be taken
without fighting.
1t is not believed here that there will
be much further trouble at Vera Cruz.
The natives have by this time tasted
American craftsmanship and the
power of the guns Of the Prairie and
Of the rifles of the marines.
Vera Cruz is low-lying and fat, and
is within easy range Of the guns Of the
ships, which can give perfect protec-
ton to the landing parties. There are
no great hills in the immediate vicinity
which the Mexicans could fortify. al
though there are surrounding the town
great sand dunes behind which artil-
lery could be placed. There is slight
danger of that, however, for 10 fire
from a concealed position requires
knowledge of what artilerists call lin
direct fire" and of that the Mexican
army has none.

there are approximately one thousand

JOHN WANAMAkER SAYS
IT is INSANE NOT To
RECOGNIZE LABOR BODIES

Philadelphia, June 23.-"Its an in
sane thing not to recognize organiza-
tons of labor" said John Wanamaker
today in giving testimony before the
state commission on industrial rela-
tions. He made this statement in re-
ply to a question whether employees
should recognize labor unions. On the
general question of unionism Mr.. Wan
amakei said he believed labor has
suffered frightfully" in the past be-
cause of poor leaders, but AIDED that
he is seeing better leadership come
In.
Commissioner Weinstock of Califor-
MIA. who presided today, asked the
witness if he could supply the missing
link that would bring capital and Ia
Dor together. Mr.. Wanamaker SAID:
Il believe labor and capital have the
right to organize. On the one SIDE,
capital, there Is responsibility, and on
the other labor, there is none. There
you stop. The missing links l believe
10 be prejudice and misunderstanding,
which must be overcome.
"One of the ways to wipe out this
prejudice and misunderstanding is to
unhitch labor unions from political
parties"
