Washington, April 22--Following the sci
zure of Vera Cruz, the United States will wait
for Huerta to make the expected declaration of
war before proceeding further, unless a mass
acre of American citizens at Mexico City should
cause an immediate forced march.
Senior Algara, Mexican charge here, will
demand his passport tonight, and it is expected
that American Charge O'Shaughnessy will be
withdrawn from Mexico City at the same time.
The fact that no word has been received from
O~Shaughnessy since Monday caused alarm
here today.
President Wilson this afternoon signed
the joint resolution justifying him in using the
army in Mexico. The presidents measure
was to be finally adopted by the Senate early

FOUR TOUGH ONES

the Other or Parole Goes
Back to Pen

Four peace loving yegg men made the
mistake of their lives in selecting Salem
as a suitable place in which to spend a
quiet vacation during the present fin
ancial depression, aud as a result Hugh
Brennan, alias Blacky, alias Jim Moore
and Jim Taylor and John 0'Neil were
taken to Portland this morning where
they are wanted in connection with the
Troutdale swallowing job and John
Adams, an eX.convict from the Oregon
State pen now on parole will be taken
back to that institution.
Each of the four men arrested is n
typical yegg and Sheriff Esch has had
them under surveillance for some time.
The men have been hanging around the
city playing cards and frequenting pool
halls but were not disturbed by the
local Officers who were waiting for
some job to be pulled off in this
vicinity, In looking up their records
Sheriff Esch found that Brennan and
Taylor were wanted in connection with
the Troutdalc safe blowing job and he
decided to arrest them and scatter the
gang.
Some Suspicious "Plunder"
O'Niel and Adams were closely al.
lied with the other two here and the
officers have overy reason 10 believe
that they were all in the same gang
When searched the officers found new
pocket knives, safety razors and the
same kind Of gloves and silk mufflers
on them, all of the goods new The men
claimed that they purchased the goods
from a street vendor but this story was
discrcdited.
Brennan and Taylor were arrested

Washington county, said he had them
in his jail at one time. sheriff Tom

The destruction Of few more minor
