THE GLOBE
Foreigners Remove All
Hope Of Resumption of
Railroad Communication
Rr 4stnci1tti Prtss

Vera Cruz, April by their refusal
TO leave Mexico City in spite of the
dangers and inconvenience incidental
TO a civil war, foreigners have remov-
ed what apparently was the only hope
of resumption of railway communi-
cation between the abandoned capital
and Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister
has reported to John r. Silliman, spe-
uial consular agent of the United States
in Mexico. that he has been unable to
lind enough Americans and other for
eigners wishing to leave Mexico City
to Justify asking for trains.
General Carranza had told Mr. Stlli-
man he was willing to provide train
service to move such foreigners as de-
sired to leave but before he made any
arrangements he wanted to know how
many passengers there would be.
President Wilson's warning to Amer
lean citizens to leave Mexico was pub
lished several weeks ago in the for
mer capital, but the attitude of vir-
tually all citizens of the United States
who reside there was that they pre-
ferred to remain in Mexico City and
take their chances unless a plan for
intervention was behind the warning.
They are now convinced that interven-
tion is highly improbable and have
chosen TO stay where they are.

MAY SOLVE PROBLEM
OF RIVER WALL GAP
CONTINUED from First Page.l

Il
ward so that the line will be erected
under the bridge.
Thus, a gap of about 120 feet will
remain, and this. it is proposed by the
plan to be submitted at this evening" S
conference. to abridge by building a
flush wall from the water to the pres
ent height of the sidewalk level A
railing will be constructed along the
top of the wall to protect strollers and
at each end of the improved section
one of the ornamental electric light
standards will be placed. The ac-
companying sketch shows the relative
position of the proposed wharf and the
formal city entrance to the Market
street bridge.
The proposed change, it is under
stood, will not be very costly, mas
much as the base for the continuance
of the wall has already been provided
for From the north side fthe gap
to the waters edge the wall slopes in
such a way that the concrete neces-
sary to bring the barrier flush with
the sidewalk can easily be put in at
comparatively little expense.
If the plan is adopted Commissioner
Lynch SAYS he will have the necessary
ordinance prepared within a week or
ten days for presentation to Council
so that the change can be made after
the sidewalk on the wall from Walnut
street northward. is finished.
