VERACRUZ TAKEN
APRIL q, 1874
Excitement Over Capture of
Port by U. S. Marines Was
Tense in Ell Paso.

Wednesday, April q. was the first
anniversary of the taking of Veracruz
by the United States marines from the
American battleship squadron off the
Mexican east coast port.
One year ago FL PasO was in a fever
of excitement following the develop
ments of the, Mexican situation which
had been growing more tense since the
Tampico incident and the subsequent
demand of the United. States upon Gen.
Vict0riano Huerta that he salute the
flag as an apology for the arrest of the
American marines who had gone ashore
from a launch at that port.
Demands Surrender.
The order for the surrender of the
port of NeracrUZ was made by admiral
Fletcher upon Gen. GustavO Mas at 9
o'clock, although reports from the battle
ship fleet indicated that landing parties
started ashore at daybreak The ships
OF the American squadron shelled the
shore line and buildings before the land
ing of the marines and Mai Butler, Of
the marine corps, was the first COM
mander ashore. The fighting IN the
streets followed, during which four of
the American marines were killed and
six wounded, according to the first re-
BDA - GAElUALu NAAA1 MuHlDEE was AdlEA
increased when the complete toll of
American dead and wounded was made.
The first report stated that $50 Mex
Jeans had been killed, although this was
also reported to have been much heavier
after investigations were made.
Gen. Mas Retires.
Gen. GustavO Mas retired to the big
bridge outside Of Feracruz without max
ing any great show Of defending the
port, although he had refused admiral
Fletcher's demand for the surrender sin
the name of humanity" The fighting
continued during the day of April q
and far into the night. By the next
day the fight was over and the Amer
leans were in complete possession of
the port, all except the snipers on the
roofs having retired OF surrendered. Ad-
mirai Fletcher issued a proclamation the
next day announcing that peace had
been restored and there would be no
further fighting.
Excitement at Washington.
In Washington the excitement was the
most intense since the Spanish war.
President Wilson was in his office al
most all night and was in costant com
munieation with the fleet off Veracruz.
Congress was then in session and many
patriotic speeches were made in the
house and senate. President Wilson,
upon learning Of the death of the Amer
lean marines, declared: 81 am sorrv. ter
ribly sorry" Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
retired at midnight of the 21st from his
position as chief of staff of the army to
become supreme commander Of the ex-
force for Mexico, although
he was later replaced by Gen. Frederick
Funston. All battleships were ordered

HAPPENINGS AT HOMELAND

Mr.. George Roddenberry passed
away at his home near here Wednes-
day morning, Sept. 18th, after a short
illness. The burial took place at St.
Johns cemetery Thursday, Mr.. J.. F.
Parker reading the burial service Mr..
Roddenberry leaves a wife, father,
mother and brothers and sisters to
mourn his departure. The people of
Homeland extend their sympathy to
the bereaved ones.
The people of Homeland desire to
add their measure of thanks to the
Star afor its excellent fight for main
tanning the boundary lines where they
have been for so many years, and
think that in acknowledgement for
this service every family in Marion
and Levy county which would have
been affected by the county division
should read its interesting columns
every week (or daily if possible). The
lukewarm position taken by the other
county papers was especially notice
able during the campaign, and the
people should by all means remember
the Star when they are thinking of a
paper that stands by the people when
they most need mouthpiece to speak
their ideas and opinions on public
matters. Long may the old Star
shine in the homes of Marion and
Levy.
Mr.. ]. F. Parker has been making
several business trips over the county
this week, one to Early Bird and later
to Ocala.
The farmers here are blessed with
an abundant crop Of corn and hay this
season.
Capt. S. r. Pyles, a member Of the
board of county commissioners, was
among the prominent citizens in
Homeland this week.
A number of our young folks at

roads goes to pay the workers among
the railroad men, who have as hard
tasks and as much trouble in max
ing both ends meet as anybody.
''The proposition to delay building
the union station will probably meet
considerable opposition. A number
of our people are very anxious to
have the station. And we would all
be glad to have work on it start, be-
cause it would help business, and
though business is not as dull in
Ocala as in some other places, little
help to it would be most welcome.
And so I am sure that if any man of
influence fights the proposition for
delay, he will very likely cause pro-
test that will have considerable
weight with the railroad commission.
What the Star Wants
$50 am going to ask this meeting
to ask these Representatives of the
railroads to do a few things for Ocala
things that should have been done
a lone time ago, union station or no
union station, and things that will
have the great beauty of not costing
much while adding greatly to the
safety and convenience of the people,
Do Away with Danger
"The first is, putting a gate at
Magnolia street crossing of the Sea-
board. This is the most dangerous
place in the city. The traffic is con-
tinuous, day and night. There is no
safeguard except a watchman, and he
is on duty only part of the time
Many times people have had narrow
escapes, and only the care of the
trainmen has averted seevral trag-
edies.
''The Exposition street crossing OF
the Seaboard is almost as dangerous
owing to the fact that the trains
pass it at considerable speed-ter
miles or more. 1t needs a gate; q
watchman is an imperative necessity
There have been several accidents al
that crossing, and only good luck ha:
prevented fatalities.
Rough Rider Crossings

CADILLAC EIGHT FIRST
CAR OVER MOUNTAIN ROAD

Until a Cadillac Eight recently made
the trip from Ferndale to Lily mine,
Humboldt county, California, boosted
a road that no motor car had ever ira
versed. Consequently the whole eoun-
ty has been discussing the feat OF
the Cadillac in surmounting heights
hitherto impossible for an automobile.
Not only are the grades between
the two points exceptionally heavy,
but the road rises steadily through
out the entire distance The gradient
on some portions of the road varied
from 81 to Al per cent. These and
the steady upward pull had always
proved the defeat of ambitious motor
car owners, and F. w. Wetmore was
told that he could not make the climb
with his Cadillac Eight. But Mr.. Wet
more was not deferred. He drove the
car and carried five other men, the

Coming down through the roof of

DINNERS ON CARS DENOUNCED
BY Observation-Disclosures

yesterday. az frankly admit that the
proposition seems to be six one and
half q dozen of the other Records
in the police department show that
many accidents have been due to
binding headlights. Other records.
however, show that fully as many &C.
cidents have occurred since the adop-
ton and enforcement of the anti-glare
headlight ordinance"
Statistics show that the majority of
accidents traceable to glazing head
lights have been traceable also to the
use of intoxicating liquors.
Even though the headlights are glar-
ing at least it can be seen that a
motor car is on the highway II the
road is Of ordinary width, sufficient
to permit the passage of two automo.
biles, little danger is entailed from
bright lights.
Dangers Of DINNERS Known to Drivers
Furthermore, practically all of the
reputed DINNER devices on the mar
ket cast certain amount of glare
when set at certain angle. The fea-
son is simple-some rays of light are
bound to be shot forth either through
the lens or from the concave refiec-
tor in the back of the lamp.
Denver traffic officers repeatedly
stop motorists who apparently have
no DINNERS in the headlights of their
