AMBASSADOR FLETCHER
ON HIS WAY TO MEXICO
American Envoy to Be Met at Border
by Representative of Car
rama Government.

Henry P. Fletcher left here last night
for Mexico to present his credentials
as American amba ssador. Accompa-
MED by Capt. Frank R. Mccoy, military
attache of the embassy, he will enter
Mexico at Laredo, travelling to Quere
taro. the country's new capital, over
the National railway. The original
plan for him to go by way of Vera Cruz
was abandoned because of the presence
of rebels along the coast, but rebel
operations north of Monterey and south
of San Luis Potosi since have been re-
ported and some officials here are
doubtful now whether an uninterrupted
trip can be made over the route chosen
Mexican Government Notified.
Ambassador Fletcher should reach
Queretaro Thursday. Ramon de Nagri,
in charge of the Mexican embassy. no.
titled his government last night of the
departure of the new representative
and asked that he be met at the border
by a representative of the foreign Of
flee.
Official and unofficial reports continue
to indicate growth of the anti-govern-
ment movement in Mexico. Although
the active forces are those headed by
Villa. Zapata and a few others less
widely known. some officials are con-
WINGED there is a considerable support
being given those in the field by
large group of men in the United States
and Europe formerly identified with
governmental affairs in Europe.
DR.. Gomez Heads New Movement.
DR. Vasquez Gomez of Francisco Made
ro's cabinet, and now resident of San
Antonio. Tex. is heading a new move
ment whose slogan is Restoration of
the constitution and whose propagan-
da includes the charge that the present
government mas admitted it's illegality
by the reputation of the real constitu-
ton. that of 1857.
Information reaching the State and
War departments indicates that Villa
has in Chihuahua approximately 5000
men. Already he has occupied the
greater part of the territory evacuated
by Gen. Pershing, but officials do not
believe he will contest the permanent
possession of the field against Car
ranZa's army when it appears.

Call 1t an Obstruction.

Ii is contended by those opposing a
: 'tira-wbriGge that such a bridge particu-
larry at the point where it is proposed
20 build it. will be serious obstruction
to navigation. While the steamers may
We able to go through it in safety, sailing
vessel masters say there would be days
ct time when the wind and tides would
not allow them to sail their craft through
the draw. and that the services of a tug
boat to take them through would be
necessary.
1t is also contended that piers built in
the river channel would have the effect of
shoaling the water and that if it is ex
pected that Washington will at any time
become a port of Importance. steamship
masters would fight shy of bringing their
big vessels up the Potomac on account of
having to take them through the bridge.

VESSEL MASTERS FIRM
FOR HIGHER BRIDGE
Railroads Efforts to Cross River
Will Be in Face CT Continued Hos
tility of Local Shipping.

Though the bill allowing the Newport
News and Washington Snort Line railroad
TO build a bridge across the Potomac has
passed both houses of Congress and has
been signed by the President the bridge is
not built and the promoters of the rail-
way will have much opposition from the
Potomac steamboat people and vessel
masters in the construction of any en-
cept n bridge high enough for vessels to
pass under if.
Ii is stated that the plans as prepared
BY the railroad provide for drawbridge
that will cross the river from point near
Matthias point, on the Virginia shore, 10
Riverside in Maryland. This type OF
bridge will be fought by those interested
in Potomac navigation. no matter if the
draw is built as wide as safety will allow.

Fred Hoyler, Sol Klarberg, H. Kemp Toney, Leo M. Andrews, Dr. J. I. Norris, Charles Orto, Rotarian, of Little Rock, and Leo c. Peck, the last-named urg- ing support of the Jefferson Homo guards, and explaining that the organization was formed for the pro- lection of life and property. should such emergency arise as result of the war, and "not against organized labor," as some seem to apprehend.
 In addition to these inspiring talks, the Rotarians were favored with sev- eral musical numbers by Misses Myr- tie and Verna Pates, appearing at the Orpheo theatre this week with their parents and brother, the family being known to the public as "The Musical Patcs." These young artists won the gratitude applause and commendation of the Rotarians by the artistic work, and charming and modest manner. Miss Verna is sister an accomplish ed pianist. Their contribution to the weekly Rotary program was so great ly appreciated, that the Rotarians demonstrate their appreciation the Ro- tarians last night at the Orpheo pre- sented the young artists with a bas- ket of handsome roses.
 Besides the Misses Pates and Mr. Peck, other guests at the luncheon were Jo Nichol and George List.

SWEDEN PROMISES BE NO REPETITION
 UNNEUIRAL ACTS
Asserts Innocence of Intent to Help Germany, or
 Knowledge of Message.

London, Sept. 11.-Thc SW odish foreign office, according to dispatch from Copenhagen to the Exchange Telegraph company, has issued the following statement regarding the Swedish-Argentine revelations:
 "The Swedish foreign office has not received any account regarding the transmission of the tclegralns men 1iored in the statements of the gov- crnment of the United States and the Swedish government therefore Is un- able at present to determine what it's position should be On the question opened up by these statements.
 "It is. however, accurate to say that just after the world war broke out tho Swedish foreign minister express cd the opinion that he ought to trans init 2 German telegram concerning tho civil population of Kiao Chow (the former German fortress in the Chi nesc peninsula Of Shan Tung.,
 statements to the same effect were made to the representatives of both bell;gerent groups without there be- ing any question of Sweden taking over representation of any powers interests.
 As regards the United States ill particular, the United States minister here has this year, in certain special cases demanded and obtained permis- sion to transmit letters to and from Turkey and at time when Turkey was not in state of war with Amer ica and when Sweden had not yet taken over the protection of Ameri- can interests.
 "In the summer of 1915 the wish was expressed from the British side that the transmission of telegrams be- tween Germany and North America should cease. No formal demand was made but the foreign minister acced- ed to the wish. The Swedish minis ter, who was cognizant of all the negotiations was of the opinion that this was no bar to the continued transmission of telegrams to neutral states other than the United States and therefore to Argentina. Since then Sweden has continued to be the intermediary for communications be- tween Germany and the Argentine.
 'This telegram mentioned in the American statement was written in code and in transmitting it the Swed ish minister was by that reason un- able to decipher it. Whether it's con- tents were as reported is point which the first duty of the Swedish government must be to confirm. and it's next action must be to get an ex- t~- ion from GOtma;ly. Sweden will also take measures to prevent any repetition of the incident
 "No application as to the cessation of the transmission of telegrams from Germany to the Argentine republic has yet been made either by the Brit ish or American governments.
 "The whole affair has only become known to the public through the press. out in spite of this the wishes expressed by the interested parties would immediately have been acceded to-"

 Secretary Baker outlined this pol icy of the war department today in a statement dealing with the method to he followed in the organization of negroes liable to draft under the na- tional act.
