 DEAD MARINES AND SAILORS.
Cruiser Montana is Due to Arrive Sunday Noon and Will Be Met by 5attIeship Wyoming.

New York, May 9.-FinaI arrange ments for the tributes to be paid to the navy's dead, victims of the fight ing at Vera Cruz, were completed to- night with the announcement of the official program. The city's public edifices, which the procession will pass have taken on a sombre appear ance with black draperies enfolding their columns and porticos and the preliminary naval movements in the ceremonial already are well under way. Down off Sandy Hook tonight the United States battleship Wyom- ing, which left the navy yard today, awaits the coming of the armored cruiser Montana with the bodies of the z dead, due to arrive at noon to- morrow accompanied by the May flower with Secretary Daniels aboard. The Montana with the Wyoming as her escort will move up the bay late Sunday.

Marching up Broad way to the city hall and across the plaza, the procession will pass over Manhattan bridge to the marine grounds at the Brooklyn navy yard, where the nations tribute to the dead will be paid by President Will son. A halt will be made at the city hall plaza, where Mayor John Purroy Mitchell will place a wreath on one of the caissons as the city's tribute. and school children clad in white will sing a hymn.
 At the navy yard the president, who will reach here from Washing ton Monday morning, will review the procession.
 Brevity and simplicity will charac- terize the exercises. The caskets will be followed by the naval authori. ties to the next of kin of the dead.

attempt to leaye-until at least he has made a last desperate effort. They credit the report that he in- tends the destruction of the city be- fore his departure. explaining that the man is so OOsessed with the idea that he is the only one capable of directing the government that he has become irresponsible. They regard Mexico City as a place which soon will be as dangerous for MeXicans as for foreigners.
 Up to the present no additional American troops have been asked for beyond those necessary to complete Brigadier General Funstons Fifth brigade. Strategists agree, however, that the troops and marines already here will be sufficient for flying col nuns in a great emergency, while the bluejackets could garrison the city.
 From the interior and isolated points reports of attacks and out rages on Americans continue to tricke through the lines, though no first hand accounts have been brought in. All travellers coming down from the capital are stripped of newspapers and documents which might reveal the state of affairs there and no news ot the American occupation of Vera Cruz, so far as can be prevented by the MeXicans, has been permitted to reach the capi- tal.
 While the military situation here remains unchanged, news of the posi- ton of Mexican troops between Vera Cruz and Mexico City came in today from trained observer, who re- ports that he saw the Sixteenth in- fantry nearest to the American lines. General Maas' headquarters are at Paso del Macho and up to the rail road as far as Esperanza This man saw the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-seyenth and TWentysixth in fantry in uhc order named. Beyond Esperan2a regiments of rurales were posted along the line to Mexico City. The number was not estimated but there was large guard at each rail road station.

NEGRO QUESTION
 CAUSES BREAK
IN THE DELIBERATIONS OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL CONGRESS
 HELD AT MEMPHIS.
White Delegates Object to Negroes Sitting on Main Floor of the Con Vention Hall.

Memphis, Tenn, May 9.-A breadh etween officials of the Southern So c. logical Congress and the local committee on arrangements over the question of seating negroes on the convention floor resulted late today in a decision to hold the closing ses sion of the congress tonight at the First Methodist church instead of the theater where previous sessions had been held
 According to members of the local committee the convention officials had agreed that if negro delegates were permitted to use section Of the floor only delegates would he al lowed to occupy the seats. They claim this agreement was disregard ed, negroes generally were admitted and on Friday night when the chari- ties and corrections delegates met with them scores of white delegates were unable to obtain seats.
 The sudden action of the congress heads in changing the meetins place came on the heels of a resolution adopted by local committee today and submitted to the congress in which it was urged that in future ses- sions the first floor of the theater be reserved for white people. Tine ac. tion does not apply to the national conference on charities and correc tions, at whose sessions the colored delegates occupy the gallery.
 Houston, Texas, was recommended for the 1915 meeting place by the time and place committee of the con gress today. Final action on their recommendation must he taken hy the executive committee within three months and this committe also will select the time for holding the next congress.
 With the delegates of the charities and corrections conference as their guests, the closing meeting of the SO ciological congress was given over 10 the subject of "Inter-racial Inter CSLS. UT. J J. IT, l'llldiu, blali iiiV' of the committee on race relation ships, presided, The speakers in. cluded Dr. w. D. Weatherford oi Nashville and R. k. Moton, a well known negro educator of Hampton Va.

 Moton, who was the first speaker had the subject, "The Common In dustrial Life
 "The white south," he said "foi it's own interest, if no other, should strive to make the individual relation which exists between the races more general and to make the large mass of negro workers happy and con tented.
 "I think the two races in the soutt deserve to be congratulated. The negro because, notwithstanding al the circumspection and injustice h' may have suffered, has not become embittered and does not hate th' white race, and the white people be cause in view of all that has beei said and done they have not los desire to help the negro"

CAPTURED OVER LINE.

Eagle Pass. Texas, May 9.-An American soldier late today crossed the Rio Grande with his rifle and ammunition belt. He was arrested and disarmed by constitutionaist sol diers, but later was brought to the international bridge and delivered to American guards His gun and belt were delivered to Consul Blocker.
 It is reported at Piedras Negras that General Quintana, with part of the former Federal garrison of Nuevo Laredo. has joined the Feder- als at Monclova.

CORRESPONDENTS ARRESTED.

Washington, May 9.-Unofficial re- ports reaching Secretary Bryan to- night that Richard Harding Davis and Medill Mccormick, American newspaper writers, were under arrest at Mexico City, caused the secretary to ask for an inquiry through the Brazilian ambassador No official news of the reported arrests has reached the state department.

tor Ozark was ordered to Tampico. A report received today from Ad- miral Badger is regarded as confirm atory in some degree of news that had reached the state department several days ago that American oil men were in danger of losing their property in Mexico because of the suspension of oil production. If it can be shown that the lessees are being prevented from operating their wells through no fault of their own, the state department will see that in the final settlement these concession ares are fully protected. It is known the British government already is ac. cumulatng a formidable list of claims of this character.
 Secretary Bryan evidently was graitfied at the news he received to- day from Consul Rodgers at Havana of the action of the German steam ship company in directing the return of it's ships, the Bavaria and Kron- prinzessin Cecilie without unloading bltl war uuuIlNlOho AVl NNAe" "S Puerto Mexico.
 Inquiry failed to develop the req sons which actuated the steamship company, but it is assumed that the cargo was taken at the shippers risk and with distinct understanding that it would not be landed if the company would thereby be embar rassed in it's relations with the United States government.
 1t was learned that these arms and ammunitions, like the cargo on the Ypiranga turned back from Vera Cruz, originally were shipped from New York or some other eastern port.
 keassuring information concerning the safety of Vice Consul John k. Sil- liman, reported arrested by Huerta commanders at Saltillo or San Luis Potosi, were received. The state de- partment received through the French legation in Mexico City d communication from General Blan- quet, Huerta's war minister, that the American consulate was guarded by federal troops and that neither MT. Silliman nor other Americans were under arrest.
 The movement of refugees from Mexico continued. Sir Lionel Car den, the British representative in Mexico City, again strongly urged British subjects to leave for the coast.
 Admiral Howard reported that Ma zatlan, on the Pacific coast, had not surrendered. contrary to reports printed here, but that fighting con tinued. He also reported that Huerta had ordered the lights in the light houses on the Pacific coast eXtin' guished to embarrass navigation, and that American telegrams and mails to and from Mexican Pacific ports could not be transmitted.
 Representative Dies in the house today advocated the disarming of the ignorant murderers" of Mexico and placing in their hands the "imple ments of hus5andry." He prophesied that if President Wilson ever closed down his square jaws on the MeXi- can situation it will have to thunder several times before he lets go.'

YOUNG THOMAS AND
KID MARSHALL READY

Today Young Thomas announced that
little more hard work is needed TO put
him in perfect condition for his twenty
round battle with Kid Marshall at the
Ardmore Club next Monday night. The
crack little featherweight has been la
boring earnestly to prepare himself to
go the whole route at full speed, ana
he is now down TO weight.
IF I don't go the distance and trim
Marshall. it'll be my fault grinned
Thomas today. II certainly feel right.
A similar tale comes from the train
ing quarters of Kid Marshall. The wee
soldier, knowing he had to work off
extra poundage. has been Shaving at
his training stunts. Today he believed
that he would easily come in under the
weight limit and save his forfeit. He
will not cut out his hard work until
Saturday, however. in order not to put
on any extra pounds.
An added attraction has been sched-
uled for the big show next Monday
night. Young McCue. Baltimore's vet
ersn, has agreed to take on any 126-
pound boy selected by the club, going
six rounds to a decision. Two candi-
dates are up for trials against the
Oriole war horse. Kid Greek. a discoV-
cry of Pete Baum's, may get the
chance, but Young Erne is another Seek
in the opportunity.

CENTRAL SPIRIT IS
SUPPORTING ELEVEN
Blue and White Expected to
Make Great Fight for School
Title on Gridiron.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Two years ago when Sylvan Kings
championship eleven was sweeping
Western off the field one of the young
sters on the sidelines approached Coach
John Thomas. Of the Central team.
Let me get in the game?" said the
you'll let me in the game. 1 emily have
dollar, but I'll let you have that II
you'll let me play. Just give me a
chance"
And this is typical Of the Central
spirit which is this year carrying the
Rlue and White on to what the follow
ers think is sure enough title team.
Two years ago, when King led his
warriors to the title there were those
who rated the team as the best ever
developed at the o Street School. Prin-
cipal Wilson. who remembers teams at
Central back in the early sos, gave his
opinion that the team was one of the
very best ever turned out.
June of 1912 found many Of the stars
OF that team taken away by graduation
and the problem facing Coach Thomas
was one which would have staggered
anyone. The Central spirit prevailed,
however, and the youngsters developed
from a mediocre eleven to one which
in its final battles showed as much
strength as any in the series.
This year the Blue and White with a
few veterans is rapidly rounding into
Saturday showed that the Central team
is one to be feared this season, and one
which is being closely watched by all
Of the others.
Central has by all odds the hardest
schedule in the series. The fact that
Tech. the last years title holder, is to
be met in the opening battle Is an un-
enviable draw. To be sure. the o street
ers will be the last OF the high schools
TO get action in the championship
campaign. but the prospect of meeting
Tech in the starting game is one which
none of the others would care to have
fall 10 their lot.
AS far back as 1901. when Tech and
Central split and met III football for the
first time. the rivalry has been more
than keen. For This reason Coach
Thomar and his charges are working
forward with the idea OF trimming
Tech in the opener and galloping
through to the title.
Cliff Richards is captain Of the team

HARD SCR|MMAGE ON
!. H|LLTOP'S PROGRAM
Coach Exendine Will Today Try
Plays Blue and Gray Will
Use Saturday.

Georgetown's varsity eleven will have
its first scrimmage of the week today,
using some of the latest formations they
have been studying on the blackboard in
preparation for the big game at Rich
mond, Saturday, against Washington
and Lee. The Blue and Gray expects
victory over the Lexington eleven, but
realizes that it will be a hard game, as
the Generals are remarkably strong this
season.
In no game this season have the Hill
toppers displayed much punting, but It
is expected that against w. and L. this
department will shine. Noark, the big
fullback, is being trained carefully IN
getting away long punts, while Wiesser
is getting better and better every day
in this respect. Some of his kicks are
covering fifty yards, and he is getting
excellent direction into them. Indeed,
Wiesser's punting may cause him to De

Gray, replacing Sam Foley.
Forward passing by Noark VIII also
cut some figure in Saturdays Dig game
at Richmond. The former Ursinus star
is the best forward passer in the George
town squad, and some of his filings are
expected to count for points asainst

Coach Exendine had his squad out
Yesterday for long signal drill. after
some time had been spent in forward
assing and kicking. He wanted to
have his players letter perfect In their
plays before taking them into a scrim-
mage against the scrubs. Today the
second eleven will have to bear the
brunt Of the attack.

TWO NEW ALLEYS
OPEN TO BOWLERS
National Capital Academy and
Casino Second Floor Have
Brand New Floors.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

So great has the demand become fol-
space for league and transient bowlers
that two new establishments have been
outfitted for tenpn and duckpin bowl
ing this season and have just oponed
their doors to inaugurate the 19l4-191i
season.
Probably the most completely equip
ped bowling emporium that has en-
tered the field in this city in years is
the new National Capital Bowling
Academy. which embraces the entire
first floor OF the National Rifles Arm
ory in G. street and which is being
conducted by William T. Hildebrand,
formerly of the Arcade alleys.
With ten spic-span new alleys, just
installed by the Brunswick -Ralke-Col-
lender Company, Hildebrand claims the
most modern bowling institution south
of New York. and already one Of the
strongest duckpin leagues of the city
has engaged space on this new floor.
1t is the Departmental League, newly
organized this season, with ten teams
which roll five nights per week. Hil-
debrand has several other ten and duck
pin circuits which are negotiating to
use his new alleys, and mid-seasOn
will probably find his place one of the
most popular Of the downtown bowling
resorts.
That other alley. which throws its
portals open to the public tonight, is
the Casino. at Fourteenth and r
streets. which has just been equipped
with six completely new alleys on the
second floor, which Manager Mccarthy
plans 10 use eXciusiv"l, for league
bowling. The first-tioor alleys. six in
