hands of the revolutionists, American
destroyers were en- Eoute today to Mex
lean waters to await eventualities and
to afford protection ta-adAInerioan lives

Official confirmation of the fall OF
the Mexican capital was received yes
terday by the state department from
the American embassy, which reported
there was no disorder in the capital
incident to the transfer of authority.
Tampico and Vera Cruz also were re-
ported quiet.
The rapidly changing situation in the
Southern republic had developed even
another important Question today and
that concerned President Carranza. The
American embassy report made no
mention of the president and reports
from Vera Cruz said that the search
in that city had failed to find him. One
report was that Ne had been arrested
in Esperanto, state of\Vera Cruz, but
this was without confirmation here,
either in official dispatches or through
adyiCes to reVoiutionist agents.

MAYOR ASKED TO
F.. PREVENT SALE OF
CHURCH TO BLACKS
Property Owners Living Near
Grace Episcopal EdifiCe
Present Petition Bearing
Approximately 300 Names.

Agitation in the section about Vance

TO purchase for $4,000 the present
Grace Episcopal church building. To-
Gated on that corner. reached its eli
max Monday when a petition, signed
by approximately 300 poperty owners in
that neighborhood was presented to
Mayor Rowlett Paine.
The petition is addressed to the YES
try of Grace church and asks that the
vestrymen, "as Christian gentlemen"
desist from further action that would
have such a serious effect upon the
whole city Of Memphis" 1t further
states to Mayor Paine and the city
commissioners that the signers have
learned that negotiations are pending
for the sale, not only of said church.
but for other property in its neighbor
hood, to be used for negro hospitals.
parsonages and similar purposes" The
assistance of the mayor and commits
sioners is asked to prevent this. Mayor
Paine stated Monday that he had taken
the matter under adVisement.
The petition addressed to the vestry
and city. government does not state
specifically which negro church is
seeking the property In question, but
several property owners who signed the
petition stated Monday that is was the
Metropolitan Baptist church.
DR.. E. NJ. Holder, senior warden of
Grace Episcopal church, SAID Monday
that he would make no statement in
advance of the formal presentation of
the citizens petition at the regular
meeting of the vestry, Thursday night.
He said that he had been absent from
the city and was not familiar with what
had been done in the matter of the
sale of the church. About one month
ago, he said, a special committee of
three had been appointed of which
B. F. Witsell, was chairman, to handle
the matter.
Rev. Charles r Wright, rector of
Grace church, was attending a funeral
out of the city Monday.
Rev. A. M. Townsend, pastor of the
Metropolitan Negro Baptist church, said
Monday that the matter of the purchase
of the Grace Episcopal church had
never been before his congregation, that
1t was not true that his congregation
had offered $75 900 or any other amour.
for the property, and that the Metropoli-
tan church now owned very good To-
cation and were laying plans to build
new church on the site of Their pres
e1t church. He also said that he did
not believe his congregation would con-
slider the purchase Of property where
there was any large opposition on the
part of the people of the community.
He would not say whether or not he
knew of negotia tons having been made
for the purchase of Grace church, and
said that he preferred that he be not
quoted on anything in addition to his
statement made several days ago to
the effect that Metropolitan church was
planning to build a new church on its
own property, the building fund for
which has not yet been raised.
