CARRANZA CALLED ON TO GUARD FOREIGNERS EXlson Points to Fear Mex- ico City Will Be Unpro- tected — Carranza Denies Food Was Kept Out of ae -. “By Associated iress. WASHINGTON, March 9%. — While atexing a formal rep:y to the repre- sen‘etions to Gen. Carranza that condi- tions in Mexica City must be improved, the administration today began taking steps to carry out what most of the for- eign diplomatic corps here interprets as an etttire change of attitude toward the whole Mexican situation. Rear Admiral YVietcher, the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo, was ordered to send two warships to Vera Cruz to strengthen the fleet of small craft already there, or gathering from nearby ports. The Admiral himseif, who commanded the force which took tue town from Huerta last April, will not go, but he was instructed to send 2 tiag officer to take command. Admiral Fletcher selected the armored commanding cruiser Washington, now in Haitien W3-tis called a diffraction grating, ters with Read Admiral Caperton and the battleship Georgia, commanded by Capt. Robert R. Coontz, now at Guan- tanamo, to proceed to Vera Cruz. Fletcher Selects Ships. The selectzon of ships was left to Admiral Fietcher and shortly afterr noon today he reported what orders he had given.Dhe. Washington is the flugship of the cruiser squadron of the Atiantie fleet: ‘She carries 41 of- - ficers and 902 men and is commanded by Commander Edward L. Beach. The Georgia is one of the first line bat- tleships of the third division. She earries 49 officers and 864 men. The Washnigton is a little faster-than the Georgia and both ships starting to-' day sliould be at Vera Cruz by Thurs- Gay night. Prosident Wilson, describing the latest American representations, to- day said Carranza had been called upon by the United States {to take the necessary steps to protect for- ecigners in Mexico City and had been informed of, what the Washington Government had heard of conditions there and how serious they seemed to be. ¥ When asked whether the United States bad any new intentions ‘in Mexic», the President reiterated that the Government had presented its views on what ‘appeured to be the situation in Mexico City. He added that in all such situations it was necessary to discount reports a great deal, because, he said, certain per- sons would like to have the United States Intervene in Mexico, even if they had to manufacture the facts on which to base the intervention. When the President was asked. if the latest note to Carranza was an ultimatum he replied the administra- tion did not issue ultimatums, but expressed its views and acted ac- cordingly. Speaking of conditions in the Mexi- ean capital, Mr. Wilson referred to the fear. of outrage there as being more pressing at present than any- thing that had already occurred. The fear was, he said, that the city would be evacuated and left without protection. No reyuest had come from any for- eign government, the President said, for action by the United States in Mexico, alt’\ough ciplomatic repre- ~sentatives « two foreign countries had expressed their anxiety over af- fairs .n the southern republic. The President referred only briefly to the new neval movements, saying two battleships were going to Vera Cruz from Gvantanamo preparatory to sending others home for repairs. At the Navy Department it has been sald earlier that none of the ships at Vera Cruz would be relieved until conditions in ‘Mexico had improved.

Cerresprr.dence of the Assocziated Press. BERLIN, Feb. 28.—All prizes for brev- ity, and a few more besides for mod- esty, go to a Baden peasant who for some time has been with the forces in Flanders. His wife has just made pub- lic the following laconic letters from him: The first reads: “Dear Wife—I am stiil alive, and have received your bundle. If the boy is bad, spank him. Greetings. ADUOLPH.” Shortly after this came a second: “Dear Bertha—I am still alive, which surprises me very much. If the boy still is naughty, spank him again. Greetings. “ADOLPH.” The third communication was in the form of a photograph of Adolph’s troop, shuwing him decorated with the Iron Cross. No mention, however, was made of the medal, and the picture merely tore on the reverse side this brief note: “Dear Bertha—I was wounded, but am well again, and tomorrow I go at it again. If the boy is naughty, box his ears. Greetings. ADOLPH.”’ Perplexed, the wife wrote her husband gemanding to know how he had received the Iron Cross, and received the f@lluw- ing illuminating reply: “It was very simp!e about the Iron Cross. The Major ordered me to stand still, and the Sergeant-Major pinned it on. -Greetings, ADOLPH.” SCIENTIST DRAWS 120,000 LINES ON 6 SQUARE INCHES OF METAL Chicage University Man Spent 12 Years Making Sereen to Analyze Metal of Pianets. CHICAGO, March $.—Dr. A. A.

WOMAN, DRIVING DOG TEAM, LOST IN ALASKAN BLIZZARD Eskimos Take Part in Search for Roodhouse Proprietor Whe Dis- appeared on Way to Nome. NOME, Alaska, March 9.—Mrs. Emma Dalquist, proprietor of a roadhouse at Safety, 22 miles east of here, was lost in a blizzard Sunday night and no trace of her can be found. Mrs. Dalquist, driving a dog team, left Safety for Nome late Sunday just before a terrific blizzard began, which has been raging ever since. A. A. (Scotty) Allan, the racing dog driver; Joe Sheldon, Mrs. Dalquist’s hus- band and scores of Eskimos, with dog teams, are out in the storm seeking the lost woman. The storm is sweeping toward the sea, and it is feared that Mrs. Dalquist’s dog team was blown off the trail along the beach and onto the ice field which covers Norton Sound. MISSOURIANS SELL SAME HORSE MANY TIMES TO FRENCHMAN De Wolf Hopper Tells How Bay Was Led Around and Around Like Comic Opera Chorus. NEW YORK, March 9.—De Wolf Hop- per, a comic opera singer and poor judge of horses, is responsible [@ this: He met an agreeable Captain of French cavalry here to buy mounts for his army. The Captain and Hopper and some American sat in a big Missouri barn, where the horses were led in. A big, upstanding bay appeared and was led around. The French Captain blew a whistle; the horse was accepted; price so many thousand france. A big upstanding bay appeared. The French Captain blew his whistle. A big upstanding bay was led in. “It seems to me TIT have seen that horse be- fore,’’ said Hopper. The entirely innocent horse dealers were leading the same horse around and around, just like the chorus in comic opera, and the Frenchman was paying so mary francs for horses he never saw. “WISH | HAD MORE NEWSPAPERS WITH ME,” ROOSEVELT ADMITS Celene!

JURY WOULD HOLD HIM Recommends That Effort Be Made to Get Him to Tell How Ex-Mayor Was Shot. By a Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. LOUISIANA, Mo., March 9.—A special grand jury next month will begin an in- vestigation into the death of Col. Alten M. Walker, member of- Gov. Major's staff and former Mayor of Louisiana, who died of a bullet wound last Thurs- day. This step will be taken regardless wf whether a warrant is issued against Fred Wilkins by a Justice of the Peace, and it is not considered likely such a warrant would be issued before the Jus- tice has an opportunity of reviewing the transcript of testtmony taken yes- terday at the .Coroner’s inquest. This transcript, when written, will be pre- sented to a Justice of the Peace at Bowling Green, as Justice of the Peace A. J. Armstrong refused last’ night to issue a warrant against Wilkins. The Coroner’s “jury had recommended that Wilkins be held for further inves- tigation or trial, but Justice of the Peace Armstrong, in refusing a war- rant, contended the Coroner’s verdict was not in the form required by. stat- ute in that it did not confine itself to a finding of facts, but made a recommen- dation. Jury Foreman Stine Mtadomewr. Fred Steichter, foreman of the Coroner's: jury, in explaining the jury’s recommendation, said today: It was a compromise verdict. Walker said he died from a gun- shot wound inflicted at night. Wilkins was the first man found with him. Wilkins refused to be sworn. His refusal warranted the jury, in connection with the other testimony in conflict with the ante-mortem statemert-of Wal- ker, in recommending that he be held. Wilkins had the chance to clear himself by testifying that it was an accident, or by testifying that it was intentional and justifiable. If he had corroborated Walker we would have felt that was suf- ficient td overcome the other con- flicting testimony and would have exonerated him. If he had gone on the stand and testified that he shot Walker in defense of his rights we would have believed him and we would have exoner- ated him. If a man is found riding a stolen horse und refuses to tell how he got it. The burden is on him to tell the jury, and the com- munity is not willifg to have the door of silence shut in their faces, The jury did not confine itself to a finding of facts because the six men composing it were unwilling to return a verdict of an accident in the face of conflicting testimony and were doubly unwilling to return a verdict of felun- ious killing, because they felt that if ii was intentional there might have been circumstances to make it justi- fiable. It was learned today that between 5:30 and 6-p. m. on the day of the shoot- ‘ing Wilkins telephoned from the gro- cery store of Morrison MeNelly, at Third and Delaware streets, and asked someone, ‘‘Is everything all right?” He was heard to say “All right” as he hung up the receiver. William Roberts, who heard his words, does not remember the number which he called. This telephon- ing was done a little after the time when, according to testimony given ut the inquest, Wilkins asked the privi- lege of telephoning rrom F. 8S. Schroe- der’s grocery, near town, but went away when Schroeder asked him to use the phone in his residence. Took Two Forme of Verdict. when the jury retired at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon it took along two forms of verdict prepared by Prosecut- ing Attorney .ucGinnis, one that the shooting was accidental and the other that it was felonious. It could not agree on cither form because on the one hand there was too much testimony tending to discredit the accident theory and on the other hand because Wil- kins’ silence coupled with the other testimony » suggested to the minds of the jurors a motive for intentional shooting which the six men would not denominate as felonious. So afger call- ing McGinnis in and being advised by him that they did not have to use either form they agreed after nearly two hours on this verdict: “We find that Alten M. Walker came to his death by a pistol shot wound in- flicted by Fred Wilkins, but whether by accident or with intent to do great bodily harm we are unable to determine. However, based on Fred Wilkins re- fusa] to testify and thus furnish ug with most valuable evidence and upon the na- ture of the evidence submitted by other witnesses we, the jury, do recommend that Fred Wilkins be held for further examination or trial by proper process of law.” Fivideree to Go te Grand Jury. When Coroner Hendrix and Prose- cutor McGinnis laid this verdict before Justice Armstrong, he was unwilling to “gag gerne Paw cor ton. he lta: ed a ae i —— WHISKY EXPLODES IN $30,000 FIRE IN DISTILLERY PLANT Lucas Avenue Building Practical- ly Wrecked by Early Morning Blaze. STARTED ON SIXTH FLOOR Roof Collapses as Firemen Fight Flames From Tops of Nearby Buildings. Fire, starting about 3 o'clock this morning, swept through the narrow six-story building at 1007 Lucas av- enue, occupied by the Buffalo Springs Distillery Co..A _ series of explosions, due to the flames eating into whisky stored in barrels and bottles, at- tracted hundreds of persons in the vicinity. Fire Chief bisudereok estimated the damage to the building at about $20,000 and M. F. Dean, secretary of the distillery firm, said the loss to the company’s stock was about $10,000, fully insured. The building is % feet wide. , Appar-. ently the fire started on the sixth floor, from &n undetermined origin. It spread rapidly to the floors below and soon the entire building was in flames. Watchman Found the Fire. A night watchman, passing the build- ing, heard the glass in the front door break and then noted the flames in the upper stories. He ran to the corner, at Eleventh street and Lucas avenue, and notifed members of Engine companies 409 and 41, who responded to a still alarm. The building “was entirely aflame when the firemen arrived, so that a sec- ond and a third alarm, the latter bring- ing out ea score of fire companies, were sounded in quick order. Firemen climbed to the roofs of ad- joining building and turned streams upon the fire, but it was not long be-' fore the roof collapsed. The fifth and sixth floors, where the fire started, were used as storage rooms for empty barrels and casks. The com- pany’s offices wére on the first floor: mail order depaytment and empty cases and boxes on the second; bottling de- partment on the third and fourth, where whisky was drawn from vats into bottles, and in the basement whisky and imported wines were stored in bar- rels. Dean said the building had been Closed at 5:30 p. m. In trying to deter- tine the origin of the fire, he recalled that two weeks ago an electric light fuse burned out on the sixth floor, and electricians worked two days trying to learn why the lights would not work. A vacant six-story building at 1009-11 Lucas avenue, owned by Thomas Dunn, wasedamaged by water. The basement cf the Lammert Furniture Co., ware- house, at 1001-03 Lucas avenue, also was flooded.

PARIS, March 9.—Several womén spies who had been condemned to death by courts-martial, have their sentences commuted by President Poincare. The most recent case is that of a woman named Moreau, who was condemned for giving information aiding the enemy. A father, one of whose sons has been killed, and a second is still fighting, writes to L/Homme Enchaine that such leniency favors the enemy, and may cost hundreds of lives. He says fhat all sensibility should be set aside where such vital affairs are in question.

Goessling Denies Her Machine Struck Lad When Witnesses Acccuse Herr. SH E BECOMES HYSTERICAL Tells Police She Drove to Scene of Accident to Find Out What Trouble Was. ‘Ut years old, of 1487 Cass avenue, was killed under peculiar circumstances in front of 1416 Cass ave- nue during the noon hour today. When a policeman arrived he saw tw9 Jacob Bonnet, men carrying the boy from the south to the north side of Cass avenue, where they laid the boy on, the walk and began rubbing his arms. “There's the auto that hit him!" a bystander exclaimed, pointing to a ma- chine being driven by a woman ap- proaching from the east. The driver said she was Mrs. Arthur (". Goessling of 3204 Greer avenue, wife of the manager of a box factory ‘at Blair avenue and .-Mullanphy street, a block from the scene of the accident. She-was taken to the Carr Street Po- lice Station, where she was emphatic in her statement that her car had not struck the boy or anyone else. *Went to See What Happened,” Mrs. Goessling, who has been noted as a beauty, having won a prize con- test in 1908, told Capt. Schoppe she was driving east on Cass avenue when she saw the men rubbing the boy's arms. She turned around and returned to the scene to see what had happened, she said. Later Mrs. Goessling telephoned for her husband. Mrs. Goessling, after being kept in the station about an hour, became hysteri- cal. The police captain sent a number of policemen back to the scene of the accident to get statements from wit- nesses. — The bvy apparently had been killed almost instantly, for when he was car- ried into the office of a physician in the neighborhood he was pronounced dead. The police, having accepted the word of a bystanter thatthe boy had~ been run down by an auto, did not at that time investigate the detailed circum- stances of the accident. Winney of Beauty Prize, Mrs. Goessling, before her marriage in 1911, was Miss Pearl Dorothy Du Ben- rick. Her photographs, submitted in 198 in the business women’s beauty contest, made her an easy winner of the Post-Dispatch prize. She was a music teacher. Deoctor’s Auto Hits Boy; Thought to Be Fractured, Vincent Nolan, 6 years old, of 4416 Garfield avenue, was knocked down and seriously injured by an automo- bile driven by Dr. G. W. Vogt of 4977 Lotus avenue, this afternoon as he stepped from the sidewalk at Taylor and Garfield avenues. Dr. Vogt picked up the boy and placed him in the machine and took him to the Ellen Osborne Hospital at Tayler and Maffitt avenues. There Dr. Vogt himself made an examina- tion and said he believed the boy’s skull was fractured. He telephoned for a specialist to aid him in treating the case. Dr. Vogt told policemen the acci- dent was unavoidable. He said he was running slowly and sounding his horn and the boy, atfer stopping at the curb as though to let the ma- chine pass, apparently changed his mind and darted forward in an effort to cross in front of the automobile.

The arrests yesterday of 11 speeders, each charged with exceeding 25 miles an hour, disclosed that the “‘dead line” for automobile arivers has been stretched to 25 miles an hour west of Grand ave- nue. It formerly was ‘2% miles anda notch or two,’ and Chéef Young has arbitrarily fixed the ‘‘notch or two” to mean about four miles, or a fraction more, The city ‘ordinance provides three speeds—10 miles west of Grand avenue, eight miles east of Grand avenue, and six miles in rounding’ corners or ap- proaching crossings. These speed limits have been ignored by the police and auto drivers by common consent, it hav- ing been agreed these limits are too low. Motor cycle policemen have been in- structed to observe 15 miles as a maxi- mum speed between Grand avenue and Fourteenth street, and 10 miles east of Yourteenth street. The circumstances of speeding always are taken into con- sideration and a driver going more than 2 miles an hour, who is reckless in passing other machines, is likely to find himself under arrest.
