SOLDIERS OF FIFIB BRIGADE READY TO SIILFORVEMCMZ Wires Stand Bareheaded in Rain Watching Their Husbands Preparing to Leave O«tv«ston, Texas, April 24.—The re fa forced Fifth Brigade, the army's Irst expeditionary force for Mexico, >roke camp during the night at Fort Crockett here and at daylight moved o the transports waiting to take them o Vera Cruz. They were not expect ed to sail before late this afternoon. The soldiers marched from camp ifter a night spent practically without lleep. The general sentiment appeared to be that they were glad to escape Ih® routine of camp life under can ras, which has lasted here for more fhan a year, since the Second Division tfas mobilized at Galveston and Texas -ity. These Camp Crockett regiments, fourth. Seventh. Nineteenth and Twenty-eighth Infantry, comprising ibout 8,500 men and forming the bulk >f the brigade, were largely veterans, ill having seen service in the Philip pines. They worked all night packing tnd cleaning camp and by daylight the roops not only were ready to move >ut the 100 acres they had occupied as almost literally broom-swept, so areful was the cle-an-uu. The whole movement passed quiet- I y. Wives of men or officers here and ' :here watched their husbands. When laylight came with a cold rain many from en stood bareheaded on the sea ••all overlooking the camp, seemingly i unmindful of the weather, as they watched passing companies for a look ; it their own men folk. One liOne Prisoner I One lone military prisoner was com- i belled to remain in a low-railed en- j closure at the end of the camp, where I kll the troops passed in their march j ko the front in full view. He walked round his enclosure, all the time: patching the troops. I The four infantry regiments which karnp from the following posts: Twen ty-eighth Infantry. Fort Snelling, h'irm.: Fourth Infantry from Fort t"rook, Neb.; Seventh Infantry from Leavenworth, Kas.; .Nineteenth In fantry from Forts Meade, in North Dakota: Sill, in Oklahoma, and Lea- j Irenworth. Company E. Engineers, which also boarded the transports, fame from Leavenworth. The Sixth Cavalry, which also is ordered to sail Mth all possible dispatch, came from Fort Des Moines, lowa. In addition to the four transports, Meade, Sumner, Kilpatriek and Mc-' riellan, which were taking on troops this morning, the quartermaster's de- \ partment was endeavoring to secure j jne or two commercial steamers, ivhlch were intended principally to; transport cavalry and artillery. Brigadier General Frederick Fun- Iton, who will command the brigade now embarking, was awaiting at his! headquarters last night when the sail- I ng orders came. He had the orders telephoned back to Galveston, where' the whistles of the four transports Blew a prearranged signal summoning j their crews. An hour after the order ; reached Galveston every officer and I man in the city knew it and was either! it camp or on the way.

By dusk a mob had assembled in front of the American Club where 'they smashed windows and howled in | suits at the American citizens inside, 'all of whom they threatened to assa jssinate- 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 j lean 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, Germans and French ;in the federal capital were prepared iat a moments notice to gather in the | previously arranged concentration ! districts, which had been provisioned : to stand a seise. "Fake" Stories Printed I The newspapers, probably acting 'tinder the directions of General I Huerta, issued many extra editions, in I which they printed dispatches stating that El Paso, Laredo, Nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexicans. Other dispatches announ ced that the federal troops had gained victory at Vera 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 carrv 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 Emiliano Zapata, the southern rebel, was com ing to join forces with General Huerta. All the American officials employed by the National Kailroads 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, 24.—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.

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. Cowuen said that about 40,000 yards of earth would be sufficient for the Front, street lib above iuaclay streets, and this, at a rough estimate of 40 cents a yard, would mean an expenditure of in the neigh borhood of Jlti.OOo. "These figures are not based on any definite data, however," said Mr. Cowden. "and tho sum per yard is just a reasonable fig ure under ordinary circumstances." To Prepare Map of River Front Vvhat steps, if any, would be taken by th» city to acquire the dirt. Com missioner W. H. 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 itiver Front from Iron alley 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 A\ orks, and myself conferred on the subject. Mr. Hoffert 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 vears. TRAFFICM llllt DEM LETTER HERE [Continued From First Page] The 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 the 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 lat 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 the receipt of a letter from members of a recently organ- j ized Chauffeurs' Club in which the Chauffeurs' Club pledged the Motor Club that the- would observe the traf fic ordinances minutely and scrupu lously. But the Motor Club officials seem to think that the traffic ordi nance is not as closely followed by I 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. PIIILA.

The ' answer to this question was awaited with the keenest interest in official circles. It was realized that upon the j attitude of the Constitutionalist leader. General Carranza, to a great extent hinged the extent of American mili tary operations in Mexico. In the meantime officials were also appar | ently without any definite information 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 the situation was the apparent friend liness manifested toward the United States by General Villa. military leader of the Constitutionalists, in an inter view with American Consul Carothers at Juarez, am; it was believed that li.s altitude might have considerable/ iulluence on General Carranza.

The President reassured General Car ranza that he has no designs against Mexico, but that he considers it neces sary to demand full reparation from Huerta for indignities committed against the United States. He followed up the statement by ordering troops to Vera Cruz and to assist in forcing the demands and moved other troops to the international border as a pre caution against possible disorders and for any other eventualities. In addi tion to the movement of land troops the naval strength of the United States in Mexican waters are to be increased by a special service squadron. Consulate Attacked Considerable uneasiness continued > to be felt here over rumors of anti* I American demonstrations in Mexico City, where there are still many United States citizens, and over more definite reports of similar troubles at En senada. on the west coast of Mexico, where it was reported last night that the American consulate had been at tacked. Steps were immediately taken to afford relief in the latter case by the dispatch of a gunboat from San Diego. Word of its arrival at En senada was hourly expected. The tenseness of the situation be tween the United States and Mexico was heightened by the outward evi dences seen in the severing of all for mal connections between the two countries by the almost simultaneous departure from Washington of Mex ican Charge Algara and Charge I O'Shaughnesay from Mexico City. Con siderable significance is seen In th« selection of Brazil to look after Ameri can interests in Mexico in the absenca of American representatives. Where Brazil is not represented American in terests will be eared for by France. Scenes of activity were in evldenca early today at tho various departments of the government Immediately con cerned with the Mexican situation. Despite the fact that Cabinet otflcers and their clerical forces were at the departments at a late hour last night, they were at their desks early to-day prepared to meet any further exi gencies that might arise. In the mean time members of Congress are giving the closest attention to developments and it Is considered not improbable that action bearing on the situation may be taken by Congress. 7
