Senate Adjourned at Midnight, Failing to Endorse Wilson's Plans Washington, D. C\, April 21.—Ob jection to the form of the resolution passed by tht House last night to en dorse the President's j)lans had pre vented action in the Senate until to day. and that body after a spectacular midnight session, had recessed until lioon to take up a substitute measure by it* foreign relations committee. The substitute, which administration leaders expected to see adopted after u brief debate and sent over to the House for concurrence, would broaden the congressional declaration and •.■liminate direct reference to Victori ano Huerta. It also would specifically disclaim on the part of the United States any hostility to the Mexican people or any purpose to make a war upon them. Orders for actual reprisals will not «o forth from Washington until Con gress has voted its endorsement. The war fleets of the United States are nearing the shores of Mexico. Hear Admiral Badger, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, now crossing the Gulf of Mexico with four dread noughts, is expected to reach Tampico some time to-morrow. Two of his ships probably will go on to Vera Crux, while two will join the vessels already at anchor off Tampico. Seiz ure of these two ports had been de cided upon as the first step in the ad ministration's reprisal program. When Vera Cruz has been taken, a force probably will be marched inland at once to seize and hold the railway trestle upon which connection with Mexico City depends. Departments Ready Preparations for immediate action upon word from the White House con tinued at the Navy and War Depart ments to-day. The navy telegraph of fice had been kept open throughout ihe night, the officers in charge busily deciphering dispatches to In: laid be fore Secretary Daniels upon his ap pearance in the morning. What the two branches of the service are ready to do has been explained to President Wilson at a White House conference while Congress was in session last night. The army and navy officers had with them war maps and charts, with all of the operations proposed for them outlined in detail. At the Capitol congressional leaders were bustling about early to-day. ""'he Senate had agreed to begin considera tion of the committee substitute for the House resolution upon reconven ing. This substitute had been agreed lo by administration Senators after Acting Chairman Sliively, of the for eign relations commlte" had conierreu with Vice-President Marshall, Secre tary Garrison. Postmaster General Burleson and Secretary Tumulty, who went to the Capitol at midnight when word came that objections to the "in dividualizing i«f Huerta" was about to hold up action In the committee In definitely. The substitute is as follows: "In view of tho facts presented i>y the President of the United States in his address delivered to Congress in joint session on the twentieth day of April, 1914, in regard to certain af fronts and indignities committed against the United States in Mexico, be it "Resolved.

Haerta Says Mexicans Bear No Animosity Toward People of United States Mexico City, April 21.—President Huerta, replying to queries from the newspapers, said last night: "Mexico awaits with tranquility the developments of events growing out of the controversy with the United States, and in the remote case of friction between the countries the people of this republic will bear no animosity toward the people of the United States, whose neighbors they are." Believe Rebels Will Join in Fight Against U. S. El Paso, TeXas, April 21. Six Americans, eight Germans and nine French men and women arrived here to-day from Chihuahua. The Ameri cans confirmed the statement they were instructed to leave by Marion Letcher, the American consul. They said Mexicans in Chihuahua held the belief that the rebels would be unable to remain out of the Huerta-Washing ton complication and added that rebel leaders feel compelled to accept the view that the blockading of Tamplco and Vera Cruz would be a national matter, affecting the honor of every Mexican regardless of political affilia tions. The gravest view was taken, accord ing to report. In the cafes, clubs and other gathering places Mexican citi zens. practically all of whom are rebel sympathisers, said openly that Presi dent Wilson's course was an affront to the Mexican nation and that a com mon enemy must be met by a united country. France Is Pleased With Action of U. S. in Mexico By Associated Press Pans, April 21.—The. French for eign oilice although no official an nouncement has been made of Its at titude toward the Mexican situation is understood to regard the action of the United States with a feeling of re lief. The French government has long betn embarrassed by the difficulty of protecting adequately French Inter ests in Mexico and considers that the liha.se now beginning must end In con stitutional order and peace. Americans Are Leaving City in Small Bodies By Associated Press Chihuahua, Mexico, April 20.—(Via El Paso, Texas, April 21). Consul Letcher, on instructions from Wash ington, is notifying Americans in this city and other towns of the State of Chihuahua to leave the country as a precaution against possible unfortu nate eventualities growing out of the decision of the Washington govern ment to seize Tamplco and Vera Cruz. They will be sent Out In small bodies if time permits, as a general exodus, it is feared, might precipitate trouble. Six American women left to-night. Huerta Letter Shows Mexian Dictator's Plan New York, April 21.—La Lucha, a! dally paper published in Havana, un der date of April 16, explains the situation in Mexico, according to in formation obtained in that city. "The Mexican professor, J. Gon- j zales," it says, "an intimate friend of Huerta and the other functionaries of • Mexico, has in his possession a letter which is an actual communication from the President of the Aztec re public, which was written with the knowledge of his closest advisers, that I he will provoke intervention by the j &ARRISBURG TELEGRAPH I'nited States in Mexico before per mitting Villa and Carranza to take the capital." English Newspapers Say Situation Is Result of Watchful Waiting Bungle By Associated Press London, April 21.—Considerable space is devoted to the Mexican situa tion by the British newspapers to-day. The Manchester Guardian, organ of the English peace party, says: "War, should It come, would be purely ridiculous if the stakes were not human lives and national reputa tions. If both sides are itching to be at each other's throats, it would be disreditable to them both to have no better occasion for beginning. "President Wilson was wrong in re fusing to recognize General Huerta. The resulting intervention will put Pancho Villa in the position Huerta now occupies. This is not an attrac tive prospect, for Villa possesses in a higher degree every fault that Presi dent Wilson has found with Huerta." The Liverpool Post says: "President Wilson's message was the inevitable culmination of Amer ican policy in refusing to recognize General Huerta." The Daily Telegraph says: "One of those great waves of na tional feelings, which from time to time sweep aside political dissensions among Americans has gone through out the United States. There is no nation on earth more punctilious over the honor of its flan, and it is merely just fuv Americans to say that if an insult had come from a more formid able aggressor the manifestation of the public resolve to have reparation would only have been stronger and more violent. There is, of course, no question as yet of war, in the strict meaning of the term." The Globe says: * In the declaration that the military operations of the United States are being taken not against the people of Mexico but against General Huerta, we have the root weakness of Presi dent Wilson's policy. He undertakes to say who does and who does not represent the Mexican people." Locomotive Engineers Offer Their Services Chicago, April 21.—Temporary headquarters of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers here yesterday telegraphed an offer of locomotive en gineers to man trains in Mexico to President Wilson and to the Secretary of War. The telegram read: Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States: The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers stands ready to furnish locomotive engineers to handle all troop trains that may be needed in Mexico. These men are thoroughly familiar with Mexico and know every foot of railroad there. They, like the rest of us, are Americans and may be relied on. WARKEN P. STONE. Grand Chief Engineer. Not Many Patriots Here Who Want to Go to War The Mexican war talk hasn't thrown this section of the country into much of a furore, —at least there is no ram pant desire on the part of patriots to go to the seat of war. The Harris burg recruiting station has not ex perienced the rush of men to enlist that is reported from some sections, notably in Chicago. According to Capt. Kobert G. Wil liams to-day, there have been fewer recruits since the war talk than be fore. The district governed by Capt. Williams enrolled about three hun dred men for Uncle Sam's service within a period of a year, but at pres ent there is little doing in that line. fLETCHEB ORDERED | TO TIE VERA CRUZ | [Continued From First Page] i thus keep them from going to Mexico ; City. < Mlidals declared tluit President Wilson had ample authority for his iaction without the approval of Con gress. Meanwhile both House and Senate reconvened and the Senate went to work on the resolution of approval of the President's course. OttltlOK ISSUE!) EARLY The orders went out to Admiral I'leu her at daybrcidi after President Wilson and Cabinet officials had been In conference since 4 a. m., mostly over tile telephone. The orders to the Admiral. It was sahl. conferred the hroadcM authority uopn hiiu and directing that. If neces sary, he take the town of Vera Cruz as well as the customsliousc. to pre vent the landing of the munitions. Ollicials here said the Admiral might net In several ways. He might wait until the (German steamer had lauded her cargo unmolested and then take tile custonisliousc ami the munitious, or when the German steamer comes to the port he odght seize Uie customs house, and If the gitus were lauded they would come Into possession of the American forces. That the steamer might take her cargo to some other port was a possibility of which oflicials were cognizant. Some report from the Admiral was being awaited momentarily. ENTHUSIASM IN CONGRESS \\ hen news reached the Capitol that the order hud gone to Admiral Fletcher it aroused considerable en-1 thuslasm among Senators and Kepre- I sentatives. Democratic Semite leaders lielicvcHl an order to the American comma inter to begin actual operations would serve to hurry action on the resolution to back up the President's course. Republican leaders were |ilnunlnj! to champion the substitute submitted by Senator I-iodge, which refers to the long: series of outrages against Ameri cans In Mexico. 'Oils was not ac cepted, however, by Democrats. Neither will it be accepted by House leaders, it was stated. The House resolution as amended by the foreign relations committee was laid before the Senate soon after it met at noon. A new resolution to accept the apol ogies already offered by Iluerta as "sufficient reparation" for the Tam plco incident was introduced by Sena tor Works. Kcpubli) an. DANIELS \MLIj \<>T TALK Secretary Daniels left the Cabinet meeting at 12.20 o'clock. He was asked about the orders to. Admiral Fletcher. "It would lie very unwise for me to say anything at this time," was his reply. Senator Lodge opened the debate. "In a situation of high seriousness such as now confronts Congress, it is well to remember the responsibility of the Senate," he began, "the power to declare war rests under the Con stitution with the Congress. "When the I'resident lays an inter national controversy before Congress he takes the last step that precedes war." continued Mr. Ix>dge. "The President might have taken further j steps, but he has come to the body which alone has power to declare war. I think he has done well. Senator Williams asked how long it took Congress to pass the Spanish War resolution. Senator La Follettc replied that Con gress took from April 11 and April i!» to pass the resolution In 1898. Members of the House tiled into the Senate chamlier and crowded the rear of the hall. Majority Leader Underwood took a seat on the Demo cratic side. ARMED INTERVENTION Senator Lodge took up the pending resolution. "Tills resolution uses the word 'Justify' instead of 'authorize'." he said. "The result will be the same. This resolution does not contemplate the declaration of war. The President in his mes sage disclaimed any hostility toward the Mexican people. Hut this resolution carries with it armed Intervention. "The consequences of armed in tervention are In many respects precisely the same as war. But they present a task less capable of speedy completion; less fertile in speedy glory of voctorles won, anil may bring a long period of the exercise of what would be the police power in a foreign coun try, Involving- vast expenditures, great loss of life, perhaps, and after niopths and possibly years poslbly only the satisfaction or feeling that we had brought back lieace and order and liberty to u distracted country." Reviewing the Tampico incident, Senator Lodge continued: "There is no doubt in my mind that that incident at Tampico constituted an insult to the American flag and the American uniform. No nation can allow such an insult to pass unnoticed. • It Is Its duty to seek proper atone ment and reparation. The form of such atonement Ls universally recognized. It Is a salute to the flag of the offended nation. Hut that salute Is a governmental action. All party lines disappear in the demand for amends for such an Insult and we all stand behind the President's demand for atonement." The Cabinet meeting broke up while the Senate debate was on and Score- i tary Tumulty and some of the Cabinet members hurried to the Senate cham ber to hear speeches. "'Nothing new In the situation'* was tin 1 way Postmaster General Hurleson put it. Senator Lodge resented any imputa tions that the Republicans were "lurk ing: in proper regard for the honor of tile (lag." "HUT WE MUST ALSO THINK OK THAT WHICH THE n, \G COVERS—THE CITIZEN'S OK THE UNITED STATES,"' HE SAIl). "150 AMERICAN CITI ZENS HAVE PERISHED ON MEXICAN SOII„ 1 CWNOT IN DKMANDIMi ATONEMENT OK THE INSULT AT TAMPICO OVERLOOK THESE OUTRAGES. I CANNOT PASS THESE MUR DERS SILENTLY BY WITHOUT SAYING THAT. HERE IS \ GREATER WRONG TO BE ATONED AND A WRONG WHICH MUST NOT BE AND SHALL NOT BE REPEATED. "1 cannot be put in a position where I appear to pl< k and choose between tiie factions that to-da,v tear Mexico asunder. I cannot join in any resolu tion which puts the United States in the position of preferring one murder er and cut throat above another mur derer and cut-throat. NO DESIRE TO CRITICISE "I have no desire to criticise I "resi dent Wilson for his failure to recog nize General lluerta. He no doubt pro ceeded on grounds appearing to lilm as sulHcient. I condemn as strongly as I can the methods of treachery and bloodshed by which Huerla readied bis present position. But the fact that I condemn Ids methods does not lead me to put myself iii a position which by distortion of the acts which we take here, or or the words which we utter here, would put me IM'IIIIHI Villa —Villa who began life as a hired as sassin and whose puthway lias been ■narked with bloodshed, rapine, pliin- APRIL 21, 1914. iler anil liy iinnauinlilc crimes which lire a disgrace to the country in wliich wc live. "It is for that reason that the mi nority of tlio committee on foreign relations lias presented the substitute for the preamble of tlie resolution. Not one sentence can be denied. Each Is a melancholy • truth." The senator added that the lirst act under the resolution would l>e the tak ing of Vera Cruz. "We arc engaged |at this moment," he declared, lower ing his voice eniotlonally, "not only in dealing with u iiuestion Involving the gravest responsibilities that can con front the Congress but as not often happens we are participating hi a great historic action. The grounds of our a< tion here to-day will lie before the world anil will come to the tri bunal of history. PROTECT AMERICANS "If we arc to intervene In Mexico at any point, I want to lift it up from the level of iicrsonal hostilities and place it on'the liroad ground of great national action taken in the interest and for the protection of American lives in a foreign country and for the nurpose also of restoring peace and order, if we can." Senator Sliively. acting chairman of the committee, declared the pending resolution was of "paramount impor tance." "The attempted parallel between the present proceedings and the proceed ings leading up to the declaration of war in Spain Is futJle," he said. "It is never too late to declare wnr; it may easll> liecume tin) late to secure peace. This action was a declaration of war. This resolution Is a good faith effort to preserve peace." He said the President had not asked Congress for "authority" because ho di<) not wish to pursue a war. Mr. Shively contended the Lodge preamble would have no result but war. "Expedition here is vital," said Sen ator Shlvcly emphatically, "liecause tliis is an effort to preserve peace." "WOULD Till-: SEIZURE OF VERA CRCZ m FORCE RE AN ACT OF PEACE OR AN ACT OF WAR?" ASKED SENATOR RHAN DEGEE. "IT WOCI » NOT BE AN ACT OE WAR." SAID SENATOR SIIIVELY, "IT WOUM) HE AN ACT OE RE PRISAL. ON MANY OCCASIONS HAS THE UNITED STATES I.ANDEI) FORCES AND SEIZED PROPERTY AND NO WAR lIAS ENSUED." Senator Shlvcly insisted the true complaint was of aets not assaults on private persons or property but a< ts that lind all the evidence of being meant as insylts to the United States government and meant to impeach the power and sovereignty. PLAIN. DELIBERATE ASSAULT "It was a plain, deliberate assault on our uniform, 011 all our navy stands for," said Senator Sliively, referring to the Tnmpico incident. "The situation In Mexico is had enough. No one will dispute that. But here we are engaged in an effort to avoid going farther than is necessary and at the same time to impress upon those In authority that the dignity of the Cnitod States must be respected." Senator Sliively said those who had been "clamoring for Intervention" had not thought of the danger to the thou sands of \merlcan citizens in Mexico. "I say it Is a marvel, in view of the character of that people, with 60,000 Of our citizens there, thnt we have escaped without a great number of casualties." he declared. Mr. Shlvcly referred to the Lodge preamble. "This proposed preamble would transform this resolution into a decla ration of war." he said. "If we are to make a declaration of war—then let us nuikc it. Let us not engage in the snivelling pliuriseclsni of < iting facts which justify war and instant war and then adopt these resolutions. Are we in the same breath to declare half a dozen reasons why war should be declared 011 Mexico and in conclud ing the resolution declare our purposo not to do so? There can be no ques tion as to what the natural effect of that preamble would he If addressed to any great power of the world. All the recitations of the resolves would he idle." Senator Sliively said that Senators who were anxious for war may well wait until "this resolution is tried as a means for peace." Senator John sharp Williams, Hom ocrat, tlion took the floor in supiHirt of the committee's resolution. "The time may come," lie said, "when war over a mere punctilio will not be IKISIS for war. Hut to-day if the President had overlooked tld* in sult to the Hug he would have been condemning from every hill and valley in the United States. Therefore, with the world semi barbaric, semicivilized, I must support the President. I don't want to kid any Mexiians.. I don't want any Mexicans killing me." "SHALL HE H AH OX HUERTA" The Lodge substitute. Senator Wil liams said, was a declaration of war against Mexico and the Mexican people. "I want," said Senator Williams, "this resolution to be so worded that the world shall know it shall be war on Uucrta until either Huerta salutes that liag or lluerta becomes an Amer ican prisoner or Huerta dies." A wave of applause swept the gal leries. "The sergeant-at-arms will clear the galleries," directed the Vice-Presi dent. About a hundred men imme diately were removed. "Huerta hus studiously endeavored to insult the President and the gov ernment of the United States. It Is not a matter of injury or property, or life, it's a matter of Insult to the honor of the Hag;. The President sounded the right keynote—Huerta. The House of Representatives struck the keynote— | Victoriano Huerta. And when I vote j for these resolutions 9 db it with the hope that the Senate In conference will insist on naming Huerta the in sultiug party. "If war shall follow these resolu tions the civilized world should know that It is war forced by lluerta. And 'if war shall come it should be war j against, not the Mexican people, but against Huerta." | Senator Williams added that he was willing'to enforce respect for the flag, | but when that was done he believed 1 the United States should get out of Mexico. "If you once get b;to Mexico, |it will be the hardest thing In the world to get out of there again," he said. "I am for the <-ommiltcc. resolu tion because if this assassin, this trai tor, this brute, who Is now In author ity in Mexico, should salute the llag before we go Into Mexico we would not have to go. Under the Lodge resolu tion we would have to go." (/. of P.

Many undergraduates are members of Company H. Third Regi ment, N. G.'P., and about 300 others are members of National Guard or ganizations at their homes and are attending the university on leave.'

The Auditor General, however, called attention to the fact that the former action for mandamus had never been pursued, and said that the claim of the State High way Department that the defense to the writ by the Auditor General, who vm In that case the only defendant, was technical was "pure and unadulterated bosh and no good lawyer would give » r ®P ea tlng It."
