FEAR FOR SAFETY
 OF AMERICANS IN
 MEXICAN CAPITAL

Washington. March 13.=Anxiety for th@ safety of Americans in Mexico City continued evident here today, al- though the American officials express ed the hope that Zapata forces who now occupy the city would maintain order. A rapid-fire evacuation and occupation of the capital has brought such choatic condition of affairs, however. that some officials and dfp1o- mats believe no foreigners lives were safe.
 The killing on March Il of John B. McBTanus, the American, for which Zapata troops were reported respon- sib1e, did not tend to increase conf dence in government circles that af- fairs would be maintained in a state o1 stability.

Driven at a rate of speed estimat- ed by serrel at 25 miles an hour, but believed by the authorities to have been greater, the party of five Bridgeporters tore toward the dam gerous curve on the road between Seymour and this city, near the town line of Seymour. and .Ansonia. An excavation on the curve was seen by SerreI just as he was about to round the curve. He threw his steer ing wheel over just in time to avoid the hole, but the speed of the car threw it off the roadway. Before Serrel could bring it back. it plunged straight for a large maple tree and crump1ed like paper.
 Schfetinger, Serrel and Laf1in were hurled from the wrecked car into the roadway. Schietinger struck on his head and lay inert. Marvin and Lusignan were caught in the wreck age and stunned. Only Laf1in re- tained his fan senses and he rushed to a nearby house, battered down the door when nobody answered his knocks. and awakened the family. The owner Of the house telephoned to the hospital for an ambulance.
