Food for Mexico City
Promised by CarranZa

Washington, Aug. Announcement
of the reoccupation of Mexico City by
General Gonzales was followed to-day
by statement from General
Carranza's headquarters at Vera Cruz
that immediate efforts would be made
to send food stuffs by rail to the
starving people of the capital.
Reopening of the railroad will
furnish an important test for the
effectiveness of the military operations
of Carranza's forces. officials here
say that much depends on the success
of this undertaking, because the
United States government is de-
termined to relieve the famine in
Mexico City if Carranza's forces can
not do it.
Another Road to Be Opened.
information of Carranza's plans came
TO his Washington agency in message
from Jesus Acuna, his Minister of For
eign Affairs, who announced also that
the railroad between QueretarO and
Aguascalientes, connecting Gonzales
with Obregons forces, would be re-
opened. The message said:
"In addition TO the supplies which
General Pablo Gonzales will carry with
him into the City of Mexico at the
present occupation, the constitutional
list government has arranged for the
sending in of additional supplies to the
amount of 200 tons of staples, which
include -four, corn, beans, barley, lard
and dried meats.
These supplies are supplemental to
the large quantities oil relief materials
which have been heretofore detained en-
route by reason of the necessitous mill
tary operations incident 20 the regain
ing and preservation of control of rail
way connection from the coast to the
c, pital The public services for the
food distribution will be at once re-
opened"
Since the announcement, officially
confirmed in State Department dis
patches, that General Gonzales drove
Villas flying column under General
Fierro from Pachuca. little has been
heard Of this southern division Of
Villas army. Whether il may again
menace Mexico City and obstruct tn q
programme upon which Carranza is to
base an appeal for recognition by the
United States, is a matter Of consid-
cradle speculation here

more came. The decks grew black
with people, ard the boats began to

the Eastland disaster business was just
as good as ever. We had top-notch

Early yesterday forenoon streams
Of men and women began to pour into

along the Hudson. In slid the boats

the crowds did not diminish.

Nine persons were hurt early yes

teen feet below. Chairs, tables and
dishes were also thrown TO the sand,
and these caused the worst injuries to
the diners. Had the accident occurred
two hours later, when the tide was in,
they would have fallen into five feet
Of water.
The hotel is on thc 5cean boardwalk
at the foot of Oceanus Avenue. Five
thousand persons crowded the walk
when the crash came and many women
became hysterical when the cries oil
the injured reached their ears. Bathers
ran in from the beach and helped the
frightened men and women who found
themselves suddenly struggling in a
tangle Of tables, chairs, crockery and
splintered boards.
Police Captain Charles Formosa
took charge of the rescue work, and
as the diners were carried TO the
beach DR.. Victor, Of the Rockaway
Beach Hospital, gave them first aid
A number Of men who climbed
through the wreckage of the dining
room declared that the heavy wooden
beams supporting the structure were
so rotten that they could split of
large sections of them with their
hands. An inspector was sent at once
from the Building Department at ia
maica. A complaint will probably. be
made by the department to the police

BECKER MURDER
PLATE TAKEN OFF

permitted il. Becker's life was taken
in due process of law; everything was
legal as far as appears, and We could
not have automatically subscribed to
the charge that the man was murdered.
So far as the understanding that a high
mass was to have been read over the
body is concerned, such a service would
be out OF the question in view of the
circumstances. Had Mrs. Becker tried
to insist on a high mass we should
have talked her out of it."
The pallbearers this morning will all
be policemen. John Lynch said he
could not give out the names last night,
nor could he say whether the police
men would be in uniform. Undoubt-
edly they will wear civilian clothes,
otherwise they would throw about the
funeral police atmosphere out Of
keeping with the stipulation in view Of
the fact that Becker, after his second
conviction, ceased TO be a member Of
the department.
Mrs. Boxer would raise no objection
to the wearing Of uniforms. She was
told Of a report that she would not
welcome policemen at the funeral, par
ticularly those who might come in the
attire Of their occupation.
THAT is not So" she said Charlie
liked policemen. and would welcome
them, however they were dressed"
The stories of the murder plate drew
several hundred persons TO the house
yesterday, but only known friends were
admitted. Two unidentified men tried
10 get in. When they were told that
they could not enter one of them ut
tered an insulting remark. This was
overheard by a number Of Mrs. Beck
er's friends in the parlor, and they
started for the door, but the intruders
fed.
Among the visitors yesterday were
several policemen.
All day long floral gifts were re-
ceived, so many, in fact, that the cor

chihuahua, Mexico.-All mercantile
establishments in the city Of Chihua-
hua have been seized by the Villa gov
eminent. All Mexican and Spanish
merchants have been imprisoned and
Americans ordered to haye the coun-
try Immediately. Americans were told
that if they had not left the city by
midnight to-night they would be i'm
prisoned. A special train was provided
for them. It should reach the border
early Monday.
Villas action is the most radical ne
has taken since assuming the Dictator
shin in Northern Mexico. II followed
quickly after his arrival in Chihuahua
from Torreon and was taken without
warning to any Of the merchants, ma
tive or foreign. American merchants
had no time to arrange their business
affairs or to save any part of their be-
longings.
No Promise of Restitution.
A decree was issued notifying them
that for the good of the government
their places Of business would be taken
in charge by the authorities, and that
they must leave Mexico without delay.
No reason was given and no promise
was made of restitution .ater.
Famine has Chihuahua City in It's
grasp. For weeks people have been
dying in large numbers from hunger
and disease caused by insufficient food.
Rioting has occurred frequently during
the week. Men. women and children
have marched through the streets and
have stormed the Governors palace
demanding food and a reduction IN
prices.
Exorbitant Prices Is Cause.
High prices charged by merchants is
held responsible by many OF the peo-
pie for the famine Villa tonight said
this would be remedied. The govern
ment will sell food supplies from the
stores at prices the people can AFFORD
to pay. He says TO the very poor, food
will be distributed free.
American merchants who protested
against the seizure of their stocks de-
clared that since they were forced to
buy their supplies on the American
side with Villa money, which is only
worth two cents on the dollar there,
and had 10 sell the food in Chihuahua
for the same money at a forced value
of 33 cents gold, if they were TO make
both ends meet they had TO ask prices
that seemed eXorbitant.
