IS ORDERED
HUERTA SENDS HIS NAVY
TO TAMPICO AT FULL
SPEED.


WASHINGTON, June Sunday
Serious development in the Mexican
situation were awaited early today as
a result Of the move of Huerta's gun
boats toward Tampico. Information
reached the navy department at 1880
a. m. Sunday that the Zarogaza and
Bravo left Puerto Mexico at o'clock
last nigh. with their destination as
Tampico.
Their mission ostensibly was to
head off ammunition shipments now
headed for that port from the United
States.
Blockade Is Ordered.
WASHINGTON June (Sunday). -
That Huerta has definitely ordered
the blockade OF Tampico was the Of
fetal word reaching here this morn
ing after word announcing the trip
northward Of Huerta's gunboats.
Admiral Badger advised the navy
department that the gunboats Sacra-
mento and Tampico are trailing the
federal gunboats.
This move on the part of Huerta's 5
gunboa.s was interpreted here as
meaning that serious complications
are in sight which may bring sud-
den end to mediation. Although navy
officials were still inclined to believe
the movement not serious. it was con-
sidered in authoritative circles as a
decided crisis.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Under a rul-

The new ruling will require pay

.CLEVENGER CHILDREN
TO Be BURIED here
FUNERAL WILL OCCUR ToMoR-
ROW AFTERNOON AT O'CLOCK
FROM THE RESIDENCE

Madeline and Louis Clevenger, the
two children who were shot to death
by their mother on Monday, will be
buried tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock. The funeral will take place
from the residence Of the father, ].
r.. Clevenger, 200 Grand avenue. In
terment will be in the odd Fellows
cemetery. An aunt of the children
will arrive from Chicago tonight,
bringing Charlotte Clevenger, the l2-
yeat@old sister of the tiny victims,
with her. Charlotte was visiting in
Chicago at the time Of the tragedy.
Late this afternoon it was learned
at the Las Vegas hospital that Mrs.
Clevenger was not doing as well as
had been expected, Her condition is
not as good as it was yesterday.
Was Better This Morning
City Physician c. G. Gordon said
this morning that Mrs Clevenger's
condition was highly satisfactory.
Likelihood of pneumonia appeared to
be steadily decreasing, while the
woman's pulse and temperature were
satisfactory. DR.. Gordon said one Of
the greatest dangers now is blood
poisoning and he thought he could de
tect a few slight symptoms Of psrito-
nitis. sa
Mrs. CleVenger apparently is entire
ly rational on nearly every subject.
She made inquiry yesterday as to
what : disposition had been made Of
the bodies of her children, and ap-
peared pleased when told they had
been beautifully dressed and prepared
for burial. Mrs. Clevenger said she
regretted having caused her husband
so much grief. but that it was neces'
sary that she take the children with
her. Il
DR.. Gordon says there is great dan
ger that MRS Clevenger may attempt
to take her life, and he has given or
ders at the Las Vegas hospital THAI
she must not be allowed the use Of
knives or any other utensils will
which she could inflict a wound upon
herself. Dr. Gordon is firm in the be
lief that the woman is possessed o.
homicidal mania despite her ration

the present construction Of the law.
It is pointed out today that the trans
actions to be taxed are in small ac-
counts, involving a vast number Of
documents, all Of which would be sub
ject to the stamp duties. No opinion
has been asked from the department
Of justice. Before protests are made
officially it is said that Secretary Nc
Adoo will seek construction from the
department OF justice.
The language of the act in point
follows:
That stocks and bonds issued by
cooperative building and loan asso-
Citations or companies that make loans
only to their shareholders shall be
exempt from the tax herein provided
Solicitor Johnson said that under
the provision loan associations have
no exemption except for their stock
and bonds.

eye tonight left it four years ago, we can under
stand that the space between us and our satellite
is but step as such things go. 1t takes light
about eight minutes to reach us from the sun,
but ray can make the trip from the moon in
less than two seconds Edward Payson Weston
has walked farther than the distance. A tele-
graph message would reach a lunar receiving
station in one and one-half seconds. An express
train whizzing up at the rate Of sixty miles an
hour would arrive on the moon in 165 days.
Strange to say the moon occupies about the
same time in rotating on it's own axis as IN re-
volvng about the earth, little n days 1t
is because of this that we always see the same
side of it.
AS the moon is smaller in bulk and less in
density than the earth it does not exert the same
pull of gravitation. Thus, if man chances to
tip the beams at 200 here, he would weigh but
one-sixth, or 33 1-3 pounds there. And he could
jump six times as far or as high.
The earth is surrounded, may say buried,
in an ocean of atmosphere in which myriads of
dust particles are floating. This breaks up and
diffuses and scatters about in all directions both
the heat and the light of the sun. Owing to this
one has plenty of light even when out of the
reach of the suns rays during the day. But on
the moon there seems to be no atmosphere. Light
beams stream in straight arrows toward it's sur
face; in their path would be very hot; be-
hind wall he would freeze.
1t is because of this that the great telescope
now being erected Mt. Wilson will make ii
possible to see the surface of the moon as plainly
as man in a balloon can the mountains
beneath him. 1t is when one looks upon that sur.
face that he shrinks back in awe as Carlyle did
The moon is dead world. It's surface is cut
and broken by huge volcanic peaks and by
abysms that sink into it's midst thousands Of
feet. The largest crater on the earth is Also Sar
Of Japan which measures miles across
this could be dropped out of sight into the
moons great "Theorhilus" which is Ga miles
across and $4,000 feet Deep It's depths are il
eternal darkness Wherever one looks across
that bleak and lifeess world he sees nothing but
evidences of incalculable volcanic action, peaks
jutting out into space to GREATNESS attitudes
chasms sinking into it's depths UNNECESSARILY
and everywhere unbroken loneliness. Merely t.
contemplate the theatre of the action of such
titanic forces as have wrought that flying globe
into its present shape is to feel ones self shrinl
into comparative nothingness.
