vite such action.
Knew Of Carranza Hostility.
While the president was writing this
statement he knew that General Car
rama had ordered two brigades Of
Villas troops from Torreon to Chi
hual1ua, which is closer to the Texas
border.
So considerate was the president OF
the feelings Of the constitutionalists
that he decided not to forbid the ex-
portation Of arms to men who have in
dicated their purpose to be our en-
envy.
He reached this decision when he
knew that at least 1000 modern rifles
and 100000 rounds OF ammunition
were at Eel Paso ready to cross the
border.
Military Lssders Frantic.
The army and navy officers were
frantic. They told their superiors that
tI1Sse r;nes and bullets would be used
against American soldiers. They begged
they implored that the orders issued
by Secretary Garrison forbidding the
exportation Of arms. and Wilson was
compelled to reverse himself and send
out the orders for the sending OF SOL
diers to Vera Cruz and to re-establish
the embargo on arms.

as may become available.
This squadron will not be available
for six weeks.
Action Over Wilson Protest.
That the action taken is inadequate
to cope with the situation is the firm
belief of army and navy officers in
Washington.
The most extraordinary state Of af-
fairs exists here. If the country knew
it there would be scathing indictment
Of the president and the officials OF the
administration directly responsible.
The orders to the Fifth brigade were
issued after the president had reached
a contrary decision.
The application Of the arms embargo
was made after the president mad can
celed the order to this end issued with
out his authority, by Secretary Garri-
son last night.
BADGER Demands Army Support.
dispatch was received from Rear
Admiral Badger announcing that ten
eral Mas, who had been driven out OF
Vera Cruz, had assembled 10000 troops
from the vicinity of the port In the
state OF Pueblo.
Rear Admiral Badger suggested that
the army should at once come to vera

are trained to operate the vessels and
whose services are Indispensable II
there should be trouble with foreign

He recited the threatening character
OF the Mexican concentration. adding

to support the men fighting in the
trenches and streets.
A roar OF protest went up from the

tion. He was advised that foreign
complication might result from the
American adventure in the southern
republic and that the safety OF the ma
ton demands that the trained blue
Jackets should not be made the targets
for Mexican bullets.
\ View Hold by President
The president was reluctant to listen
to such advice. He took the view that
to land bluejackets and marines was
not war. to land soldiers was war. and
this was condition he did not want.
Moreover, he was concerned as to
the effect on the constitutionalists,
who on Wednesday night demanded
the immediate evacuation OF Vera Cruz
by the American forces.

Several small coasting vessels were
taken in charge by American officers,
who sent them out of the inner harbor
because it was thought that Mexican
sharpshooters had taken up positions
on board of them.
Brazil to Aid v. s.
Secretary Bryan asked the Brazilian
government If it would act for the
United States in Mexico City and af-
ter a conference with Ambassador de
Cana announced that mplcte az
rangements had been made. The choice
of Brazil instead Of European power
was regarded as very significant Not
only has Brazil, like Argentina and
Chtla refused to recognize the Huerta
government but the fact that the
United States considered as It's friend
in a crisis South American nation
emphasized Pan-American solidarity.
It was the first time that a south
American country ever has been asked
to act in such capacity for the United
States. When war with Spain was de-
clared France represented America IN ~
Spain. In the present case France
stood ready to give similar services.

of that readiness with request tnat

ders to quadruple the force of fed
eral cavalrymen in the Colorado
coal strike regions went from the
war department late last night. The
entire Eleventh regiment from Fort
Oglethorpe, Georgia, and two troops
of the Twelfth from Fort Robinson,
Nebraska, were ordered to proceed to
the scene at once, Col. James Lock-
EFT of the Eleventh to take supreme
command of the situation.
Secretary Garrison issued the or
ders after a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson. He said the step was
taken not because trouble was ex-
pected, but because it had been
demonstrated that the five troops of
cavalry now in the coal fields did
not provide enough men to cover the
large territory involved. Reports
from Colorado last night, the secre-
tary said, were favorable.
The twelve troops of the Eleventh
will be distributed through Trini-
dad, Walsenburg, Aguilar and For
bes districts and the two troops
from the Twelfth will go to Boulder

Marietta, Ga, May 2. William

he came here yesterday, presumably
in connection with an Investigation
Of the case of Leo M. Frank, the At

14-year-old Mary Phagan.
One man in a crowd that sur

in the face. Others threatened the
detective with violence if he made
any move to resist the man. The
detective escaped to a hotel, while
C. W. Burke, who accompanied him
here, summoned deputy sheriffs. No
arrests were made.
This was the home of the slain
factory girl and many of her rela-
tives still live here. The detectives
assertion that Frank was not guilty
and that James Conley, a negro fact

sponsible for the crime, has aroused
intense feeling here. Burns return
