GEN. PERSHING FIRED ON
IN SATEVO NEIGHBORHOOD
American Commander Was in Motor
Train When Attack Was Made,
Is Wireless Report.

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, April 1s.-A speedy
motor train carrying Gen. John J.
Pershing. commander of the expedf-
tionary forces. together with his es-
cort, was fired upon during a drive
made at night from Satevo to the wire
less station at Namiquipa, according
to reports received here.
No official confirmation Of the report
could be obtained by military authori-
ties here. Nor could it be learned
whether the report was based upon the
attack on Gen. Pershing's supply train
on its way to Satevo April IL.
According to the reports. Gen Per-
shing was on his way to Namiquipa
to attend to the sending of detailed
dispatches concerning the engagement
at Parral, when Mexicans in ambush
near Providencia opened fire on the
cars. There We're only about ten
snipers, all of whom fled when the
Americans returned their fire. None of
the Mexican bullets took effect, the
reports said, and Gen. Pershing re-
Sarded the incident as trivial.
y dispatch received from Joseph w.
McMullen. truck captain, said thai
truck train due to arrive here this
afternoon was bringing thirteen sick
and wounded men. No reports con-
Maj. W. r. Sample. commandant. and
1T was not known here whether the
men are Americans or Mexicans.
Reports that the Carranza garrison
at Parral attempted to ambush the
command of Maj. Frank Tompkins and
other reports of strained relations be-
tween the American forces in Mexico
and soldiers of the de facto govern
ment were responsible for some trepi-
dation expressed here today
In some quarters here the opinion is
expressed that the pursuit of Villas
bands has become secondary matter
and that the prime problem the ex-
pedltlonary troops are now facing is
that of their own protection. 1t is per
slstently rumored, also. that Gen.
fershlnG has expressed his displeasure
at the turn the cooperation of the
Carranza troops took at Parral. Army
ofhcerS here are frank to admit that
IN their personal opinions the situa-
ton, viewed in the light of new de-
VelopmentS seems serious TO-DAY

Object of Appropriation.

The appropriation is made specifical
" for the construction of the bridge"
says Controller Warwick. ut covers
thc cost OF construction work and of
other work directly and necessarily in
cidcntal to the construction of the
bridge, such as restoring the ap-
proaches, making necessary connec-
tons. and putting the bridge and its
appliances and immediate surroundings
in condition for public service.
Its proper application extends no
further than this, with the exception
of the specific provision that it shall
be applicable to the cost of condemn
ling property for the purpose of widen
ing the street on one side of the bridge.
The work of removing and relocating
the tracks devolves upon the railway
company, ana necessarily the railway
company must bear the resulting eN-
pensc, which is not, either expressly Or
implicitly. made a charge against the
appropriation.
Being incident to the relocation of
the street railway tracks and not in
Cident to the construction of the
bridge, the duty OF adjusting the water
mains to changed conditions brought
about by the statute devolvcs upon the
water department. and any expense in
Cured is charseable TO the funds of
that department"
