If, in His Judgment, Conditions Should Warrant, Admiral
Will Have Power to Send Fleet Up Panuco River;
in Case of Emergency, Marines May Be Landed in

fore Leaving Important City
By Associated Press
Washington, P. C., May 14.—-Secre
tary Daniels has given Hear Admiral
Mayo full power to send American
warships back up Panuco river to
Tampico if. in his judgment, conditions
should warrant such action.
Secretary Daniels explained that
while Admiral Mayo had full discre
tionary powers to take his ships back
Into the Panuco river, that lie would
not land any forces at Tampico ex
cept in the case of the gravest emer
gency, without specific orders from
the department. It was explained that
he probably would place his hospital
ships at the disposal of the authorities
at Tampico for the care of the wound
ed, regardless of their allegiance.
Mr. Daniels said he had felt all along
that American interests. Including the
oil properties, would be amply protect
ed as soon as the lighting ceased and
one side or the other was in absolute
control of the situation. lie said that
he had not yet received sufficient in
formation concerning the Constitu
tionalist victory to determine what ef
fect it would have on commerce In
Tampico, but he expressed the hope
that the port would be open to the
commerce o'" the world.
One reason for sending the Ameri
can ships back into the Panuco river,
it was explained at the department,
was because of the hurricane season,
which is settling in along the Mexican
coast.

Further confirmation of the fall of
Tampico into the hands of the Consti

A Pointer To Merchants
A certain store which is be
ing re-established by new own
ers has specialized on famous
trade-inarked lines In many of
its departments.
The figures of the store-sales
show that the departments which
have been able to secure such
goods and push tliem are grow
ing far ahead of those which
have no famous brands to help
them.
Responses to the advertising
of this store evidence the fact
that the public is more eager
for well-known, trade-marked
goods than U is for articles
Whose names mean nothing.
In several Instances there Is
direct co-operative advertising In
• the local newspapers between the
manufacturer anil the store—and
this has brought splendid results
In dollars and cents.
