HOW FLETCHER
TOOK VERA CRUZ

Vera Cruz, April 23.-Rear Admiral
Fletcher at $3.50 o'clock in the morn
ing ordered a general movement for
the occupation of all the town. The
~bluejackets advanced and passed the
uncompleted market place and naval
college. .
When they had reached the walls of
the college a terrific rifle fire was
poured in all directions from the roof
and windows. The ~bluejackets were
helpless to return the fire. The Pra1-
RE, Chester and San Francisco opened
SCATTERING the stone walls. The blue
Jackets reformed and advanced against
the fire which had diminished greatly.
BY 10 o'clock there was only desul-
tory firing from the inshore side OF the
tower. Battalions Of bluejackets had
made their way along the water front
to the southern end of the town and
ing from houses continued at inter-
walls. -
The scout cruiser Chester pounded
buildings on the outskirts with six
inch shells, firing owe the heads of the
men ashore and showing almost per-
feet craftsmanship. '..s..
The general movement from all the
| positions taken Tuesday began in the
direction of the main plaza. The mar
ines under Lieut.. Col. Wendell g. Ne
vile moved to the southwark along
parallel streets toward the center,
while the marines commanded by
Lieutenant Commander Buchanan of
the Florida, and Lieut.. Com. Arthur
B. Heating of the Arkansas, were or
dered from their positions east Of the
center toward the plaza.
The two forces swung forward with
a, rush for a distance OF three blocks.
The machine gun and rifle fire was
/ supplemented by shell fire from the
! smaller guns Of the Prairie and Ches-
ter. The ships guns supported the
| movement Of clearing the roofs to the
| south and east, occasionally dropping
a shell a few hundred yards in adj
vance
Buchanan's men, under direct com
mand OF Lieut.. Guy w. o. Castle
moved forward to q position one block
directly east Of the plaza. Other de
tachments occupied positions to the
north and west. Both marines and
bluejackets dragged light field pieces
but there was little work for them.
There was absolutely no organized
resistance, but from the very begin.
ming of the advance a smart fire came
from the defenders or the housetops
which invariably. drew a merciless frs
from the advancing parties.
The machine guns sounded theI
"tap tap" in all quarters, and Ameri.
can sharpshooters, posted at stree
corners and other points of vantage
picked off at will any man who ap,
peared to them acting suspictously.

be one of the board of judges in the
Intercollegiate debate to be held al

ness the proceedings there.
Superintendent Edwards presented a
novelty for the delectation of the high
school classes during chapel hour this
morning. The students were RECALLED
with a number of recitations given by
six boys and girls of the fourth and
fifth grades of the Third ward school.
The work of the little ones was TX
cellently done and it reflected credit
not only to the individual members OF
the class presented, but to Miss Hitler.
the teacher, who has specialized in the
study or expression and holds a degree.
Nothing better has been presented by
grade pupils and the program this
morning gave great delight to both
students and the faculty who bestowed
liberal applause. Superintendent Ed
wards discovered the talent in the
Third ward school during one Of his
periodical visits and he promptly told
Miss Hitler that he would call upon her
some day for q number for the chapel
hour program-for use as an object
lesson for the higher grades.
The children Of the public schools OF
Moorhead have displayed a genuine in
terest in cooperating with Superin-
tendent Edwards in the very laudable
enterprise Of establishing savings bank
accounts. For some time this has been
urged and now there are children with
deposits to their credit of at least $40
It is hoped to make a detailed report be-
fore the close Of the school cal. In
connection with this there Is to be
some elementary agricultural work
done this summe which is expected tt
net some profits for the boys and girls
who enter in it and they may be USED
in the mutations of bank accounts as {
result which should properly demon
strate the value of a dollar first earned
and followed by its earning capacity.
