RESIDENTS OF
WYOMING WANT
AWHITE WAY

Residents Of Wyoming avenue will
shortly begin campaign to secure
an extension of the citys ornamental or
white way lighting system down
the avenue from Chestnut street
south. They also want the alleys be-
tween Chestnut street and Maple
streets paved to the Mesaba depot,
claiming it will divert good deal of
traffic from lower Chestnut street and
is necessary improvement.
At the time the present postoffice
building was located where it is
property owners promised to work
for certain improvements on Wyoming
avenue and to the alley leading up to
the postoffice which have since been
neglected. In support of the con-
tention that an ornamental lighting
system should be installed on Wy
oming avenue for several blocks at
least it is cited that this is the street
traversed by the street car line and
that on it is located the government
building which should have better
street lighting facilities than at pres
-ent.

Secretary Bryan Says Situation
Is Highly Encouraging This
Morning.
NO ORDERS ISSUED
ATLANTIC FLEET SHIPS
Diplomats Believe Present Crisis
Has Been Passed in
Safety. . :-... &.

:. WASHINGTON, April 16.-Gener-
al Huerta promised Charge O'Shaugh-
messy to salute the American flag in
apology fo -rthe arrest of the Amer
icsh bluejackets at Tampico, today.
The news was received at the white
house just as Secretary of State
Bryan and Acting Chairman Shiveley
Of the foreign relations committee
went in for a conference with the
president. ~-:.-e ,-.
+. Unless Huerta changes his mind the
present crisis promises to pass over
in the next "a hours.
With smiling faces Secretary Bryan
and Senator Shiveley came from the
white house conference. "The situa-
tion is highly encouraging" said
Bryan. Then he made it. known that
dispatches from Charge O'Shaugh-
Messy described his conference with
Huerta last night as 'very cordial and
satisfactory" Government officials
this morning said that unless Charge
O'Shaughnessy had misinterpreted
Huerta's intention there was no doubt
that the compliance with the Amer
lean demands for an apology would be
forthcoming within the next few hours
and that the present crisis would be
passed.
Fleet Continues on It's Way.
No orders were issued to the battle
ships of the Atlantic fleet already
steaming toward Mexico, nor was any
change in the plans for enforcing
President Wilson's demands an
nounced. In official circles the view
was generally held that after Huerta
had compiled with the demand for an
apology and had saluted the American
flag some Of the ships might be turned
back, but certainly not before.

SAN PEDRO DE LAS COLONIAS
Coahuilla, Mexico, April 16.-Surveys
of the battlefields of the week just
past shows that the battles for the
possession of this city, which engaged
practically the full forces of the rebels
and federals were the bloodiest of the
revolution.
The battle reached it's climax on
Saturday and Sunday. In the last
days fighting, Monday, the rebels
lost $50 killed and $50 wounded. In
all the fighting more than 1900 Of the
rebel forces were wounded. The loss
in dead to the rebels may never be
known, owing to the wide area covered
by the battle.
The federal loss was at least $500
killed, wounded and dispersed. By
dispersed is meant those federals sep
Grated from their command or who
fled individually or in small detach-
ments into the hills to desert, many of
whom perished for lack of food and
water.
Twelve hundred regulars captured
by the constitutionalists were must
cred into the rebel ranks. The off,
GERS were held prisoners. Many of the
so-called volunteers or "Red Flaggers'
captured were executed. Many of
these men were followers Of Madero
and were alleged to have joined
Orosco in the rebellion to overthrow
Madero.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., April 16.-
Kid Taylor's squads lost yesterdays S
game against the regular Cedar Rap
ids club by the score of Z to 5.
Hancock pitched the first four inn
ings in great style and although scored
on three times his work was splendid.
The runs resulted from the slippery
condition of the field, for the most
part. A light rain fell just before the
game began and beside putting the
field in bad shape, sent large num-
Der of fans scurrying home and cut
down the crowd to considerable ex-
tent.
Persch worked for Virginia the last
four innings. Virginia was leading in
the seventh by the score of S to 3,
when Cedar Rapids punched hits on
Persch, whose support was weakened
by a couple of bad errors and some
loose work on double steals.
Are Good .Hitters.
The hitting of the Virginians was
more satisfactory than that of the
older club, the squads not hitting at
so many bad balls. Although an error
was chalked up against Watkins, he
playedthe same classy game that he
mas been putting up all the way.
The Virginia outfield showed con-
siderable improvement over previous
exhibition games. This department
aas given Kid Taylor much concern,
but he thinks it will develop satisfac-
torialy from now on. Some of the
outfield candidates were crude, but
they. are getting into fairly good
shape. t-z.... = .-s--,,-
Pretty Sure of Jobs.
F Although it was announced yester-
day morning that Catcher Gould had
been so seriously injured that he could
not be in the lineup for several days,
he appeared on the field in the after
noon and caught the entire game with
his injured finger giving him much
pain. Catcher Nelson has a severe
cold and was unable to perform yes
terday.
Kid Taylor said last night that both
Gould and Hancock will have a place
on the regulars if they continue to
show the class they have been dis
playing. He is undecided about sever
al other youngsters.
