and children entombed in the
wrecked steep of the Empire

miners, their wives and children
and number of guards had fled
into the mine entrance to escape
hail Of lead.

Villa is Strong for Peace

81 Paso, April %. Gene al
Francisco Villa, head of the reb-
eel military forces. informed
George c. Carothers, snecial a.
gent of the state department.
that he will decline to be dragged
into war with the United
States by anybody.

an arm about the broad Should

Villa said he was not consulted

Bryrn last night, and which was
regarded as somewhat hostile in
tone.

Robert Pesqueirl, Carrdnza S

today that the note of his chief

for further negotiations. He
was expecting a reply from Mr..

The Good Roads days are ex-
pected to be filled with the var

the similar events in Missouri
last year when practically every
able-bodied citizen of the rural
districts in the state turned
out" to help in the work. The
occasion was lent much of a gala

at which the wives and relatives

events of recent history.

President Arose from Sleep

Washington, April p. The
story of how President Wilson
ordered the customs house at
Vera Cruz to be seized was re-
vealed today.
The President had gone to bed
Monday night, after having read
his message to Congress. The
Senate was debating the joint
resolution to approve the use of
the army and navy, and the
President had determined TO
withhold action until the res, lu-
ton passed, although fell ny

A number of locomotives and
many cars were in readiness to
rush the arms to Mexico City.
Mr.. Bryan telephoned Secre-
rotary Tumulty, who decided to
awaken the President. He tele-
phoned the White House. The
servants were timid but Mr..
TumuIty insisted. Finally the
President came to the telephone,
and while Secretary Tumulty
was explaining the situation.
Secretary Daniels was called up
and was put on the same line.
He too, had a diapatch about
the ammunition. Rear Admiral
Fletcher had sent wireless that
10, 900, 600 rounds Of ammuni ion
and $50 machine guns would be
landed by noon that day.
The President listened in 81

Good night" said the Secre-
tary. Then the telephone con
ference ended, and in a few min
utea, the wireless dispatches
were on their way to Rear Adj
mlral Fletcher. He received the
message at 10 a. M, and an hour
later American marines had land
ed and taken possession OF the
customs house. The ammunition
will go back to its shippers in
Germany.

Resolutions Adopted by State
Committee

RESOLVED, by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of
the State of West Virginia that
the administration of Hon.
Woodrow Wilson deserves the
cordial and enthusiastic sup
port of the people, and that this
committee hereby tenders to
him and his splendid administra-
ton its unqualified approval and
support Of all the great construc-
tive measures which he has rec
commended and advocated and
the Democratic Congress has
passed. We especially call at
tention to the Tariff Bill, the
Currency Bill, and the improve
ment of the parcel post system.
These measures have disapoint-
ed the enemies of the Democrat
ic party and are amply sufficient
to crown the present administra-
ton as able and successful. Up
on these alone the Democratic
party could go to the country
with perfect securit,-. We es-
pecially commend the President
for his firm stand regarding
Mexico and the Canal Tolls ques-
ton. The Democratic party is
opposed to ship subsidies and be-
lieves in national good faith and
honor. Our foreign relations
are peculiarly in the hands of
the President, and when his rec
concentrations are seconded and
supported by his great Secretary
of State, William Jennings Bry-
an, we know that righteousness
is the watchword and that Dem
ocratic principles cannot suffer.
We commend the course of the
two Democratic Senators which
the Democratic party has given
to West Virginia in the last six
teen years, Hon. G. Watson and
Hon. w. e. Chiffon. Senator
Watson's record during his two
years of service was Democratic
to the core, and he carries with
him to private life the good will
and esteem Of the Democrats of
West Virginia. Senator Chiffon
has given the President that
kind Of cordial warm and loya
support which pleases the Demo.

congratulate him upon the con.

U. 5. Army Moves on Mexico
Soldiers Moving on to Mexican Border. Embargo on
Arms Our Answer to Carranza Diplomatic
Relations are Severed

There were frequent confer
ences between the President and
the Secretaries during the day.
Tonight Secretary McAdoo and
other Secretaries were at the
White House constructing orders
to custom officials to hold up
shipments of arms which even
tuated later in a formal an
nouncement of the embargo, al
though it was believed the sub
ject of financing the military op-
! erations was carefully consider
ed. 1t was another day of ac-
tivity at the White House, state,
war and navy buildings, with
many tense moments such as
have not been experienced since
the Spanish-American war.
The attitude of General Car
rama as revealed in his note,
showing that he regarded the
seizure of Vera Cruz as a viola
ton of American sovereignty,
was the first development that
threw official Washington into a
feverish expectation of sensation
al development. The possibility
that the great body of Constitu-
tionalists forces along the bound
airy, might take an offensive
stand in the situation was every
where discussed.
President Wilson and his cabi-
net officers studied Carranza' S
note, and within few hours, a
statement was issued by the
President reiterating the pur-
poses Of the American govern
ment as friendly to the Mexican
people, but emphasizing that,
as Huerta controlled the region
where the insults were commit
ed, the government must enforce
its rightful demands on those
whom the existing authorities at
the place where we act do for
the time being represent.
The news that Charge O'Shau-
gnessy had been handed his pass
ports, came in the early hours of
the morning, but was not fully
discussed until in an informal
cabinet council, held at the White
House later. Secretary Bryan
asked the Brazilian government
if it would act for the United
States in Mexico City, and after
the conference with Ambassador
DE Mama announced that COM
plete arrangements had been
made. The choice of Brazil in
stead of a European power was
regarded as very significant.
Not only has Brazil, like Argen-
tina and Chile, refused to recog-
nize the Huerta government, but
the fact that the United States
committed as its friend in a cri-
! sis South American nation, en-
Iphasized Pan American solidity.
1t was the first time that a
South American country ever has
been asked to act in such capaci-
ty for the United States.
When war with Spain was de-
clared, France represented A.
merica and the United States
took advantage of that readiness
with a request that the An eri-
can consulaUes be taken over at
all points where the Brazilian
countries do not have consulates.

re inforce the American navy at
Vera Cruz; the embargo on arms
into Mexico was formally restor-
ed and the troops were ordered
to the Mexican border primarily
to relieve uneasiness among Dor
der residents, but also as a pre-
caution against hostile military
operations along the internation-
al line.
Secretary Garrison announced
that brigade of infantry and
some artillery under Brigadier
General Funston had been order
ed to embark on the four army
transports at Galveston for Vera
Cruz, to support the expedition
airy forces of marin es and blue
jackets there. He said that Cen
eral Mas, the federal general,
might make a return attack ON
Vera Cruz, with endorsements
and the necessity of a forward
movement towards Mexico City
to protect fleeing Americas and
and the Vera Cruz railroad were
the underlying reasons for the
military movement.
While Mexican Constitutional
lists here protested that Carran-
za's real attitude was friendly,
the American government decid-
ed to take no chances, and alb
ruptly stopped the shipment of
arms into Mexico.
President Wilson. earlier in
the day, had issued statement
warning General Carranza, that
the United States was dealing
now and would continue to deal
with those whom Huerta com
mands, and Those who come to
his support"
Both Nelson O'Shaugnessy,
the American Charge de Affairs,
and Senior AIgara, the Charge de
Affairs of the Mexican embassy,
have been given their passports.
This is not regarded by the
Washington government as pre-
saying war, but the declaration
Of war by Huerta would not be
unexpected.
During the day, a special re-
~serve fleet was ordered to the
Atlantic coast of Mexico. No
fighting of any consequence was
reported from Vera Cruz, the
American land forces having
pushed their way three miles in
land to some important breast
works, to make their position
sure.
Rear Admiral Fletcher and
American Consul Canada were
occpied most of the day in Vera
Cruz, in handling hundreds of
American refugees. British and
German vessels took off more
than 1000 refugees at Tampico,
and a general exodus Of Amer
leans from Mexican cities was re-
ported.
The Senate, in the meantime,
has the house bill appropriating
five hundred thousand dollars to
take care Of American refugees.
Senator Borah declared that
the conditions of actual war ex-
listed between the United States
and Mexico.
Senator Lodge and Senator
Root urged that the embargo be
replaced along the entire border.
Rear Admiral Badger request
cd permission to capture all Mex
lean vessels and gun boats carry
ing troops or ammunition for the
Mexicans around Vera Cruz.
Revelation Of the purposes of
CaTanza and Huerta are being
awaited before a complete mill
tary campaign is developed. The
United States intends to take no
offensive step for the present,
preparing to hold Vera Cruz I'M
til the situation in Mexico City
and elsewhere in the southern
republic crystalizes.
