SOLDIERS OF FIFTH BNDE HDf TO 1 SIIL FOR VO« CRUZ Wives Stand Bareheaded in Rain Watching Their Husbands Preparing to Leave Walveaton, Texas. April 84.—The re- Worud Fifth Brigade, the array's •ret expeditionary force for Mexico, »roke camp during the nlgrht at Fort Crockett here and at daylight moved »o the transports waiting to take them Jo Vera Cruz. They were not expect ed to s&ll before late this afternoon. The soldiers marched from camp p.fter a night spent practically without Sleep. The general sentiment appeared jo be that they were glad to escape ilhe routine of camp life under can- Vas, which has lasted here for more than a year, since the Second Division Was mobilized at Galveston and Texas City. These Camp Crockett regiments, Rurth, Seventh, Nineteenth and 'enty-eighth Infantry, comprising fcbout 8,600 men and forming the bulk M the brigade, were largely veterans, *ll having seen service in the Phillp- Elnes. They worked all night packing nd cleaning camp and by daylight the troops not only were ready to move but the 100 acres they had occupied was almost literally broom-swept, so eareful was the clean-uo. The whole movement passed quiet ly. Wives of men or officers here and Ihero watched their husbands. When daylight came with a cold rain many Women stood bareheaded on the sea Wall overlooking the camp, seemingly unmindful of the weather, as they watched passing companies for a look *t their own men folk. One Lone Prisoner One lone military prisoner was com pelled to remain in a low-railed en closure at the end of the camp, where all the troops passed In their march to the front in full view. He walked round his enclosure, all the time watching the troops. The four infantry regiments which camp from the following posts: Twen ty-eighth Infantry, Fort Snelling, Minn.; Fourth Tnfantry from Fort Crook, Neb.; Seventh Infantry from Leavenworth, Kas.; Nineteenth In fantry from Forts Meade, in North Dakota; Sill, in Oklahoma, and Lea venworth. Company E. Engineers, which also boarded the transports, came from Leavenworth. The Sixth Cavalry, which also is ordered to sail with all possible dispatch, came from Fort Des Moines, lowa. In addition to the four transports, Meade, Sumner,' Kilpatrick and Mc- Cleilan, which were taking on troops this morning, the quartermaster's de partment was endeavoring to secure one or two commercial steamers, which were intended principally to transport cavalry and artillery. Brigadier General Frederick Fun ston, who will command the brigade how embarking, was awaiting at his headquarters last night when the sail ing orders came. He had the orders telephoned back to Galveston, where the whistles of the four transports blew a prearranged signal summoning their crews. An hour after the order reached Galveston every officer and man in the city knew it and was either at camp or on the way.

Fourth and Bridge Streets • •****%-: r . FRIDAY EVENING. BAPRISBUHG TELEGftAPH APRIL 24,1914. MOBS OF MEXICAN TRIPLEII. S. FLAG [Continued from Ftrst Page.] " ■ i of the local newspapers, crowds of stu dents and government office employes began to gather. By dusk a mob had assembled In front of the American Club where they smashed windows and howled In sults at the American citizens inside, all of whom they threatened to assa ssinate. An appeal to the governor of the federal district brought police protec tion but not before the crowd had shattered many of the windows In the club house and in adjoining proper ties belonging to Americans. Sing National Anthem Until two o'clock in the morning bands of excited Mexicans marched through the streets singing the Mex ican national anthem and shouting "death for the Americans." The American club, the leading American hostelry, and the offices of the Mexican Herald were closed, owing to the threats of the mobs to burn them and murder their occupants. The British, Germuns and French in the federal capital were prepared at a moments notice to gather in the previously arranged concentration districts, which had been provisioned to stand a seise. "Fake" Stories Printed The newspapers, probably acting under the directions of General Huerta, issued many extra editions, in which they printed dispatches stating that El Paso, Laredo, Nogales and other places had been taken by tho Mexicans. Other dispatches-announ ced that tho federal troops had gained victory at Ver% Cruz, where they ex pected to surround and drive the American invaders into the sea. The repair and supply ship Panther will probably go to Mexico with Ad miral Winslow's squadron. The Pan ther has been fitted out with modern machinery and if ordered south will carry thousands of different extra parts for warships and machine guns. The papers also declared the battle ship Louisiana had been sunk by a Mexican torpedo. An alleged dispatch from the south said that Emillano Zapata, the southern rebel, was com ing to join forces with General Huerta. All the American officials employed by the National Railroads and the Mexican Railway Company were im mediately discharged by the govern ment in order that no trains could be operated except under the supervision of the government. At the American embassy orders were expected from the Mexican gov ernment that the arms and ammu nition recently permitted to enter should be given up. This was in re taliation for the seizure of Vera Cruz by the American fleet. The refugee train took twenty hours to make the Journey from Mexico city to Vera Cruz. There were many de lays but no mishaps. EUROPE APPROVES ACTION Paris, April, 2-I.—Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary on sev eral occasions during his visit to Paris has said in the course of private con versations, that he believes the United States is undertaking a work in Mex ico of which thoughtful opinion in Europe approves. T. LARRY EYRE WILL BUILD 1W SUBWAYS [Continued from First Page.] successful contractor for the 6Ubwayi revived the discussion in munlclp;' circles of the opportunity for the clt;. to acquire sufficient earth for the pro posed 25-foot "till" on the westerr. side of Front street between Maclaj and Division streets to provide a walk outside the curb. | Work on the Front and Seconr street subways will be started In thi near future and engineers have hat their stakes in the ground for som' time. The resident engineer of con struction has visited the park and gone over the ground with Superintendent of Parks Taylor and his assistant, J. R. Hoffert. The engineer told Mr. Taylor that he questioned whether more than thirtj of forty thousand yards of earth wlli be available and the question of haul ing that amount will be an lm'portant one to consider in using this material for "fill." 1.10,(100 Yards oil Whole Job City Engineer Cowden figured that 150,000 jards or tons of earth would be available from the entire job, in cluding the excavations from the houses that must necessarily be torn down and graded to the subway re quirements. "There'll be 150,000 yards there be fore they're iinished," said Mr. Cow den. Wether or not the funds to pay for the hauling will be available is a ques tion that hasn't been solved in the Department of Streets and Public Im provements. Mr. Cowden said that about 40,000 yards of earth would be sufficient for the Front street till above Maclay streets, and this, at a rough estimate of 40 cents a yard, would mean an expenditure of in the neigh borhood of slti,ooo, "These iigures are not based on any delinite data, however," said Mr. Cowden, "and this sum per yard is just a reasonable fig ure under ordinary circumstances." To Prepare Map of River Front \\ hat steps, if any, would be taken by the city to acquire the dirt, Com missioner W. 11. Lynch asserted he couldn't say until alter the State Water Supply Commission's request for a cross-sectional map of the pro posed "fill' all along the Kiver Front from Iron aliey to Division street had been prepared and submitted to the commission. "The Water Supply Commission has asked for this to see what we would like to have done." explained Com missioner Lynch, "and to-day Mr. Tav lor and Mr. Hoffert, of the Park De partment, and Mr. Justin, of the Board of Public Works, and myself conferred on the subject. Mr. Iloffert will pre pare the map." , The T. Larry Eyre Construction Company has been doing considerable important work for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company within the past two years. The new bridge at Montgom ery, across the Susquehanna river, was constructed by this company. It is one of the most important improve ments made on the Northern Central Railway branch in many years. TSIFFIEMS IRE DEAD LETTER HERE [Continued From First Page* 1 ] Tire Motor Club agreed to note the offenders' numbers, write them letters and send duplicates of the letters to the chief. But, apparently, something went wrong in the plan for the police department has received but one such letter, according to Chief Hutchinson. Where Drivers Err The main points wherein motor ve hicle drivers err, according to both the police department and the Motor Club officials, is in not stopping on the right side of the curb; in not tak ing turns properly; in lining up two deep at curbs; and in traveling with cut-out and smoke protector off. An other point incited on in the traffic code is that motors stopped in tho street must not stand with engines running. While the Motor Club members, ac cording to Secretary Myton, can point out glaring disregards of these orders at any time during the day and right in Market Square, Chief of Poilce Hutchison explains the manifest dif ficulty of one traffic officer keeping an eye peeled for all traffic ordinance breakers while watching and directing traffic. "Give us sufficient men," the chief said, "and we can make drivers observe the motor ordinances as minutely as they do In Central Park or in Fairmount Park." The one bright spot in the situation apparently is tho receipt of a letter from members of a recently organ ized Chauffeurs' Club in which the Chauffeurs' Club pledged the Motor Club that they would observe the traf fic ordinances minutely and scrupu- I lously. But the Motor Club officials seem to think that the traffic ordi-1 nance is not as closely followed by motorists as it was when first put into effect. And the police department thinks It Is doing the very best it can and invites co-operation of the Motor Club In reporting violators. PHILA. DOCTOR TO SPEAK The Harrisburg Academy of Medi cine will to-night listen to a paper oy Dr. J. Madison Taylor, of Phiaaelphia, on "The Mechano-Tnerapeutic Re sources of the General Practitioner Applicable at Almost Any Time or Place." Then a general discussion will follow. FRIEMEST OF villi Eiovemo [Continued l'rom First Page.] bargo on the shipment of munitions of war into Mexico, will have on the atti tude of the Constitutionalists was one of the chief questions which con i fronted the administration to-day. The answer to this question was awaited with the keenest interest in official circles. It was realized that upon the attitude of the Qonstitutionalist leader, General Carranza, to a great extent hinged the extent of American mili tary operations in Mexico. In the meantime officials were also appar- I ently without any definite Information I regarding the plans of General Huerta, | although there were rumors as to In tentions of General Maas, the federal commander who evacuated Vera Cruz, to attack that city. One of the encouraging features of tho situation was the apparent friend liness manifested toward the United States by General Villa, military leader of tho Constitutionalists, in an inter view with American Consul Carothers at Juarez, and It wan believed that his attitude might have considerable influence on General Carranza.
