Persons who had attended the
court session were in a panics and
a mad rush for the doors ensued.
Fire apparatus was called to eX-

pected to Join Them.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 16.-The power
and authority of the Carranza govern

FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
ASKED THEIR POSITION
ON ARMED STEAMERS

Washington, March 16.-Because
some foreign governments are inclined
to object to harboring American arm
ed merchantmen, this government has
inquired OF the European nations
whether they would agree to admit
the vessels.
None of the nations querled has re-
piled.
The United States holds that It has
the full right to harborage for its
armed craft. It would even have the
right to send a warship into a foreign
harbor, inasmuch as this government
is still neutral.
NO OPEN OBJECTIONS.
Foreign objections have not been
made openly, but that some of the ma
tions were really inclined to prevent
harborage of the American armed
ships was evidenced from the state de-
partment attitude today.
German influence may have been ex-
erted on some of the governments to
influence them against America on this
point.
This government can see no valid
grounds for the threatened objections.
The administration temper, If strictly
legal methods are followed, will not
brook interference with what Is re-
garded as a manifest right.

TO PLACE
THEIR CASE IN THE

New York, March lev q. Lee.
spokesman for the Brotherhood cf
Railway Trainmen, today suggested
mediation by President Wilson in the
railroad strike.
Lee made his statement IN talking
with newspaper men and the quickness
with which the railroad managers
went into conference led to the belief
that 1t was being favorably considered.
w G. Lee, chairman Of the train
mems brotherhood. declared that
50 per cent of the men called out Sat
urday night will strike.
THE railway managers cannot get It
into their heads that this strike is
real and apparently they will not be-
lieve 1t until they wake up Sunday
morning and find their trains stop

feel effects Of the order early today.
Drastic embargoes were being placed
on freight shipments. Food spectators
were reported active.
Today ticket offices were besieged
BY persons seeking to return home be-
fore the tieup is put into effect.
The effect of the strike on the city's
food supply was a matter of grave
speculation In some quarters 1t was
declared that five days at the most
would see the city in near famine con-
ditions.
From the railway managers confer
ence shortly came unofficial word
that Lees request for President W.
son to mediate amounted to approxi-
mately the same thing as the manag-
ers' suggestion yesterday that the
Goethals' eight-hour committee, ap-
pointed by the president, settle the
whole controversy. The opposing
camps were apparently much nearer
together than during yesterdays

ACTION TO BE DRASTIC.

ACTION TO BE DRASTIC.
Asked IL a course of action had been
decided upon in event of failure Of this
mediatory course, Secretary Baker re-
piled that he would not care to discuss
that.
There is reason TO believe, however,
that the president, in view of the in
ternational situation, is determined to
take any action, however drastic, to
prevent tieup of the great transpor-
tation systems of the country.
The announcement was signed by
Secretary Baker as chairman Of the
National Council OF Defense, and ad-
dressed to Secretary Lane, w. B. Will
son. Daniel Willard Of the Baltimore s.
Ohio and Samuel Gompers.
PRESIDENTS HANDS TIED.
Faced by the gravest domestic situa-
ton which has threatened the country
in many months, President Wilson to-
day called his cabinet into session at
2:30 to determine course of action in
the fight between the railroads and
their employees.
The presidents hands, 1t is admitted,
are lieu dts pClhB tplC " ouoph
any drastic measures toward the
threatened strike Of the brotherhoods.
TALK OF INJUNCTION.
Inquiries will probably be made in
the possibility Of the government
bringing injunction proceedings to pre-
vent strike, if peaceful settlement is
impossible. or perhaps asking receiv-
ership for the railroads and operating
them in this way.
SITUATION SERIOUS.
The administration regards the strike
situation as an extremely grave ques-
tion, In which each side of the contro-
versy is partly to blame for assuming
dogmatic position. The president is
expected to make clear to the people of
the country his opinion of the situa-
tion should all efforts to avert a strike
fail.
There is also possibility of hasten
ing a session of congress, IL necessary,
in order to secure powers for the pres
ident to bring government forces into
play to handle the crisis.
The president, still weakened from
his protracted illness, left his room for
the first time in nine days to attend
the caDlnet meeting.
APPEAL BY PRESIDENT.
Coincident with designating the med
iatory board President Wilson later
sent personal appeal to members OF
the railroad brotherhoods and railroad
managers for o-operation in the best
interests of the country. The appeal
reads:
II deem it my duty and my right
to appeal to you in this time OF ma
tional peril to open again the ques-
tions at issue between the railroads
and their operatives with view to
accommodation or settlement. With
my approval, a committee of the
Council of National Defense is
about to seek a conference with
you, with that end in view.
"A general interruption of the
railway traffic OF the country at
this time would entail danger to
the nation against which I have the
right to enter my most solemn and
earnest protest.
1T is now the duty of every pa
triotic man to bring matters of this
sort to immediate accommodation.
1.-The safety of the country against
manifest perils affecting its own
peace and the peace of the whole
world make accommodation abso-
lutely imperative and seems to me
to render any other choice or ac-
tion inconcelvable.
