ARMED MEXICAN
 MOB GATHERING
 ABOUT CONSULATE
Speeches Threatening Amer jeans Made at Cananea. Americans Arm for
 Self-PrOtection

Nogalez. Ariz.. April 25.--A band of
 armed Mexfcans started from Pagonia.
 Ariz, ?. miles northeast of here, to-
 day and while marching southward to-
 ward the border have been robbing
 and firing on Americans.
 agent nt Cnnnnea, Il rich copper min
 ing town, f5 miles south of NacO, Arix.. telegraphed to Consul Frederick sim
 pich that at o'clock this evening il
 mob of rebels was congresating about
 the consulate and speeches threatening
 Americans were being made.
 All of the Americans except Montague,
 however, had reached the border safely
 Montague had remained to pack up the
 consulate archives. His dispatch read:
 Am now in office attempting to pack up archives. Very large mob now con-
 gregating on all sides of the consulate Strong speeches being made against Americans. Some advocate breaking into the consulate, others to take down Amer ican flag. I have decided not to take down the flag until 5:3O, the usual time, so as not to create excitement. Do not know what the result win be- Sends Warning
 Consul Simpich immediately wired a vigorous note to the rebel authorities at Cananea, advising that American in- terests must be protected, and deprecat- ing any show of violence against the American consular agent.
 Except for the acts of what was said to be irresponsible Mexicans the exodus of Americans continued qiuetly today. Louis Hostetter, American consul at Her mosillo. wired he would reach the border Monday. Americans as far south as Her mosilo and Culiacan are to be brought north on a special train under protection of General Alfaro Obregon, rebel com mander. Fears for the safety of for eigners are centered only in possible acts of the more lawless clements who have become outspoken in anti-American senti- ment
 A raid of armed Mexlcans on the Uni ted States side of the border occurred p miles east of Nogales, when a dozen Mexicans started from Patagonia, Ariz.. to rob mining camps on their way to the border. Americans from Nogales and
 surrounding towns quickly armed them- selves and started in pursuit.
 Americans Arm
 A long distance telephone ge from Duquesne said the Americans in that mining camp and at Patagonia had arm ed themselves and were prepared to fire
 on the Mexieans. Only eight armed Mex jeans started from Patagonia, but they were said to have gathered recruits and were headed for the border at Lochiei. The sheriff al Duquesne called for help and at clock this afternoon, two auto-
 mobiles loaded with armed American civilians and a lieutenant of the United
 States army started from Nogales over the 20-mle mountain road to the borde',
 in the hope of capturing them
 The orders of the Americans are to shoot if the Mexicans show fight. Ameri- cans in the copper mining region west of here have been terrorized by the rs-
 ing of the Mexicans.

 Although the news of proffered media tion put new aspect on the situation, it was the general understanding that House leaders expect to make their rep resentations to the Presidnt as soon as the army has bene concentrated at Vera Cruz.
 In the Senate there was no such con- eerted action as was evident in the House, but there was evidence that the bond of silence which many senators have observed for months will be broken Mon day and war talk will flourish again.

Shooting in Jail

Trinidad, Col, April 25.-An exchange of shots at the county jail in which a striker named Jesus Barakas was slightly wounded, caused a furry of excitement in Trinidad tonight A striker named Gonzales was arrested by deputies guard ing the jail.
 The shooting was the only incident of the night to disturb the truce agreed on late today between Union leaders and Adjutant General Chase. At the sheriff s office it was said a small party of armed strikers opened an attack on guards. At union headquarters, it was declared the shooting was precipitated when strikers unknowingly wandered within range of the guards about the jail.
 An instant after the last shot was fire, a man carrying a rifle backed down the hill leading to the county jail and stopped in front of a local newspaper office. Ac- costed by reporter, the man said he had asked another near the jail if he was a union man and receiving a negative reply shot him.
 During the early evening streets near the labor halls were thronged with strike sympathzers. At each hall group of armed pickets guarded the guns.

Women Refuse to Leave

The delegation of women refused to leave the executive chamber until they had read and approved the telegram. They had declared they were not in sympathy with either of the warring g factions and that they were urging federal aid as the only effective means of putting down the strife.
 Earlier in the day the governor sent the following message to President Wilson:
 "Conflicting reports of action of cabinet meeting yesterday morning have been received here. What-I would be greatly obliged to know is, if we cannot control the situation in the southern Colorado coal field, can we have federal troops?'
 | President Wilson's reply follows: "Discussion at cabinet meeting re- l ferred to was merely for the sake of information. l cannot conceive of the authority of the state of Colorado be- ing ineffective and earnestly suggest that renewed efforts be made to pre- vent hostile action on either side. or any action that might provoke hostil- ity.

Tucker to Jackson,
Key to Vanderbilt.
Fletcher Tucker was unanimously
elected by the student body to represent
the Training School in an oratorical con-
test between High and Prep. Schools of
West Tennessee at Jackson to-day. This
will doubtless be the greatest and most
successful student event ever held in
West Tennessee. Every effort has been
made to render it a success the first
year. 1t is given under the auspices of
the Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation. Tucker contests at 10 O'Clock
at the high school building for medal
offered by the association. There will
be at the same hour musical and read
| ing contests. In the afternoon at the
fair grounds there will be an athletic
track meet, in which the Training School
will contest. Capt. Fowler has rounded
up his material this week and expects
to return with few medals and points
to bis credit.
On May Fred Key will represent
the school at Vanderbilt in declama-
ton contest. There are from thirty to
fifty prep. schools represented at Van
derbiIt each Mayto try out in a prelim-
mary at 10 a. m. to be one OF the nine
who speak for the Vanderbilt medal at
8 o. m. 1t is believed that Key will be
one to qualify, as he has been a medal
winner in two contests--for the Swig-
CART defamation medal, May, 1912, at
Reynolds Opera House, and in an ora
torical contest at Dyersburg, May, 1913.
The Training School has for two years
qualified representative for the final
contest at Vanderbilt and hope to even
win the medal this year. Frank, the
brother Of this representative, was a
lucky one two years ago and Fred will
doubtless be more so this time.
