MEXICO CITY SITUATION
CROWS MORE CRITICAL
By The United Press.

by Inc ONlleu IIccc-
WASHINGTON. March 31.-Carran-
"a is making a determined effort to
SHOW that he and not villa dominates
the Mexican situation. Official reports
received here show he has stripped his
Vera Cruz and southeastern Mexico
forces to the lowest possible notch
and sent the troops against Villa at
Matamoras, Mexico City and TOrreOn.
Success at this time, he believes would
explode the Washington administra-
tions view that Villa is Mexico's
strong man.
Villa has gathered practically his
entire army to show that he is. Con-
sequently the present fighting is deem
ed more important than any since
Huerta's exile.
There is grave concern over the
Brownsville situation. The Villista
artillery was in use for the first time
last night. General Funston has re-
ported to the War Department that
lie is in touch with the commanders
on both sides and has demanded that
they keep their fighting away from
the river bank. that people on this
side of the boundary may not be en-
dangered.
The Mexico City situation is grow
ing more critical. Unofficial advices
and information 10 the embassies and
legations indicate that the Zapatistas
anticipating being forced to eyacuate
the city, are loOting. it is reported
the number of Outrages against wom-
en- is increasing and foreigners are
staying indoors, prepared to defend
themselves.
General Funston notified the War
Department today that Brownsville
was quiet this forenoon, though there
was considerable firing on the Mata-
moras side of the border during the
night.

MUCH LIVE STOCK dies

AS the result Of being bitten through
the finger by one of his horses. which
was suffering with rabies, Elwood
Williams, farmer of near Port Penn.
is taking the Pasteur treatment at the
State Board of Health Laboratory.
Newark, to prevent an attack of the
dreaded disease. The horse that
bit Mr.. Williams died several days
ago, and as it had shown symptoms
OF rabies, DR.. p. r. Vail, of Delaware
City, sent the animals head to the
State laboratory. The analysis
showed that the animal had rabies in
an advanced form. In addition to
this horse Mr.. Williams lost two
mules, one COW. one dog and a cat
during the past five weeks. All Of
them apparently died of rabies.
Several months ago a strange dog
passed through the Williams farm and
bit one of his dogs. 1t is thought
that this started the rabies on the
| farm. The horse, mules and the
COW that died are supposed to have
been scratched or bitten by the cat,
which was probably affected by a
! bite from the dog. Mr.. Williams loss
amounts to nearly $1,000.
As this is generally the beginning
of the robins season. DR.. Herbert j.
Watson. State bacteriologist, desires
to caution people relative to the
shipment of specimens to him for
analysis. DR.. Watson said this morn
ing that the heads of a great many
animals sent to him for examination
arrive in bad condition, which makes
it hard to make proper test He
stated that this can be avoided by
carefully packing the head in ice for
shipment DR.. Watson also suggest
ed that when an animal is suspicion
ed of having rabies it should be tied
up and the laboratory communicated
with In some cases when the ami
mails are killed the disease has not
developed sufficiently to detect it by
a test.
The State laboratory gave twenty
five Pasteur treatments last year.
