CARRANzA IS Warned BY 0. S.
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES MAY
FOLLOW" coNFIscATloN,
Mexican Officials Already Have Prac.
tically Enforced Embargo on
Expectation of Oil.

Washington, Jan. 18.-The United
States government has sent warning
to General Venustiano Carranza, point.
ing out that serious consequences
may follow" his threatened confisca-
ton of foreign owned oil plants in
Tampico. This announcement was
made by Secretary Bryan in confer.
! ence with Sir Cecil Spring-Rice the
British ambassador, and representa-.
tives of American oil concerns.
Mexicans Enforce Embargo.
Already the Carranza officials have
practically enforced an embargo on
the expectation of oil by big English
company. The British ambassador, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan, sent an
urgent telegram to the British consul
at Vera Cruz. which he was instructed
to show General Carranza.
The British feet obtains much of its
fuel from the Tampico oil fields, and
the possibility of serious complications
over the Carranza governments atti-
tude is fully realized by the American
i government.
Fear confiscatlon.
Mr.. Bryan said that the foreign.
owned oil companies feared confisca-
ton Of their wells by Carranza and
that urgent representations had been
made to forestall such action. A de-
cree issued by the Carranza govern
ment makes it impossible for some
Of the foreign oil companies to operate
without the consent of the Mexican
authorities.
| Some of the American concerns. It
is said, have been forced to pay so
heavy tax that they have been prac-
tically compelled to shut down their
plants.
Although there are Dutch interests
at Tampico. no representations have
as yet been made by the Netherlands
government.
The prospects of battle on the out.
skirts Of Tampico between the adj
vancing forces of General Villa and
columns Of Carranza under General
Pablo Gonzales is expected here to
develop the situation further. II the
Villa forces are victorious a solution
Of the problem is confidently expected,
because Of previous assurances given
by the a-Gutierrez officials in that
district.

American Red Cross mission. have left
for Poland, where succor for the civil
population is equally as urgent as It IN
in Belgium. It appears that the in
habitants Of the cities are particularly

AvEzzANo LIKE CEME1ARY
CITY is FILLED WITH DEAD AND
WOUNDED,
Desperate Appeals for Help Are Heard
From Those Under the Wrecked
Buildings.

Avezzano. via Rome, Jan. 16.-Avez-
zano is filled with dead and wounded
and wrecked houses. 1t is like the
ruins of a cemetery. Those who es-
capped the destruction caused by the
earthquake went heroically to work to
reach those pinned under the fallen
walls. They could not seem to under
stand the delay in dispatching aid to
them from Rome and other centers,
forgetting that more than 12 hours
passed before knowledge of the grav-
ity of the disaster reached the outside
authorities.
Nearly all the civic officials of Avez-
zano persisted, including the mayor,
the under project. the Judges, the COM
mander of the caribiniers, parish
priests, monks and nuns. The college,
with more than hundred girl stu.
dents, collapsed. The governor of pris.
ons, jailers and the doctors and pat.
tents in the hospitals were carried
down in the wreckage. The only not.
able person who survived was the
head of the police, Sig. Ottavi, who
though wounded, has labored since the
overthrow to give succor to the in.
jured.
Cry Out for Help.
Desperate appeals for help are heard
on all sides from those under wrecked
buildings, but the efforts of Ottavi and
the few hundred survivors have avail
ed little. for they lacked the nipple
ments with which to effect general
rescue. But about fifty persons, all Of
them wounded, were taken out with
great difficulty. They lay without shell
ter and without their wounds being
dressed owing to lack of medical
supplies. Later doctors arrived and
operated on some of the injured by
the light Of blazing torches.
They were taken to the station
where they were made as comfortable
as possible in trucks.
Assistance came at Last from Arsol
and Aquila and large rescuing parties
arrived from Rome and Pescara.
Thirty thousand soldiers have beer
distributed throughout the earthquake
district and already large quantities
of provisions and clothing together
with wood for the construction of huts
have arrived.

washington, Jan. IL. President
Wilson has directed Attorney General
Gregory to investigate whether there
had been any violation of the law in
the rise of prices of wheat and flour.
The president referred to the attor-
ney general the petition of Mrs. Julian
Heath. president of the National
Housewives league, who asked dras-
tic action, even to the point of food
stuffs embargo, to check soaring
wheat and flour prices.
The department of commerce prob

To Stop Abnormal Rise.
Notice virtually has been served
that serious punishment will follow
discovery of any illegal methods in
the recent advancing of wheat and
flour figures. To ascertain illegality,
however, the department admitted is
difficult task. Interstate trade must
be involved.
Meanwhile the department of agri-
culture was preparing data for con-
gress to use in connection with resolu.
tons which seek to stop the apparent.
ly abnormal rise of prices.
In congress, Representative Farr of
Pennsylvania was leading the fight
against the soaring prices with little
prospect of immediate action.
Food Embargo Resolution.
While he received scant encourage.
ment from his colleagues, he was de.
termined to press for action on food
embargo resolution, should Houston's
figures of export and production prove
that the quantities of wheat now going
to Europe menace the United States
supply. He was determined, too, that
this nations purse should not suffer
solely to supply the warning nations.

THOUSANDS LIVE UNDER
RUINS FOR Three DAYS
Many Caught In Wreckaae Were No,

Breaking Out Amid
the Debris.

Rome, Jan. 16.-constantly shifting
estimates, based on reports that con.
tinue to trickIe In, now place the death
toll from Wednesdays earthquake at
10000, and the injured at a number in
excess Of $4,000.
Hundreds, possibly thousands Of
victims still are buried alive, impris-
oned by the wreckage Of their homes,
while rescuers from every walk Of life
struggle desperately to dig them out.
King Victor Emmanuel, who has re.
turned to Rome from Avezzano, per-
sonaIIy superintended the release Of a
number Of such unfortunates.
The king reached the capital in his
private car, to which were attached
three coaches bearing forty injured.
These, like the other hundreds who
are slowly reaching Rome, were dis
tributed about the hospitals, regular
and extraordinary, in the city.
The amount of damage done cannot
be determined from the meager de-
scription of the catastrophe that has
reached Rome over the hampered line
of communication. Such details as
have come through leave no doubt,
however, that nearly 100 towns and
villages have been utterly demolished
or partly wrecked and that great loss
Of life resulted.
Still Alive Under Ruins.
Thousands of persons now have lain
Tor nearly three days beneath crum-
bled buildings throughout the earth

others are still living. Many have

Quench them.
Avezzano Suffers Most.
Avezzano apparently suffered most
from the disaster. Ten thousand per.
sons in that district are said to have
persisted and the entire town has been
levelled.
Sora and Pescini each has 5000
dead, while the fatalities at Goisimarsj
reached $500 and at San Benedetto
5000.
Numerous other towns report a
death toll running from 10 to over
1000.
In the stricken districts the people
are camping in the open. Troops are
