Alarmed by cries outside a moving picture show at 180 Saokett street, Brooklyn, last night, the audience rushed out to find that a surface c.ir had run over and killed a baby boy. In the audience was Mrs Mary Cirlana. of 170 Sackc-tt street, Rrooklyn. She was one of the first to reach the sidewalk, and as she got there she saw her daughter. Anna, four years old. "Frank is under the car, mamma," sobbed the little girl. With a shriek, Mrs. Clriana rushed toward the car. Her cries were taken up by a hundred others, and soon the crowd was growing so fast in numbers and threats sounded so loudly that Pa trr.lman Duffy sent word to the Amity street station for the reserves. From his account of the situation It was deemed best also to summon the re? serve men from the BuMer street sta? tion. When the extra police arrived at the scene of the _.?ctdcnt they found that the mob had nearly lifted the car from Its trucks In an effort to secure the body of the boy. Revolvers popping in the tenement houses added to the con fu?lon as they charged into the throng and rescued Oec-r?e Thompson, the mo torman, of 108 Albany ave., and Jame? Qulnn, conductor, of 1888 ?St Mark's ave. The passengers had long since fled. Driving back the menacing Italians, the police established lines three blocks apart and permitted no one to enter the zone until a wrecking crew had Jacked up the car and pulled out the body of the unfortunate boy, who met h;* death while b-eklng his mother u shs- rame out of the moving picture show. ??

It will require onlv a few minutes for both houses to pass a resolution authorizing the Presi? dent t?-? act The President will deliver his mes? sage to a Joint session of the Senate and House assembled In the chamber of the latter. The scene will probably exceed In dramatic interest any event of Its kind in American history, for it will be the first appearance of the Pres? ident before '""ont.re.se to request Its sanction for pros eeding against another nation. The war messages of the past have, been transmitted, not delivered in person, by the ('birf Executive. Although th?-- details of the Joint ses? sion have not been arranged, owing to the uncertainty as to Huertas attitude, HouFe and Senate leaders are prepared to act soon after the two bodies meet to-morrow. Mr Underwood, the ma? jority leader of the House, suggested that the resolution for a Joint sesilon might be presented soon after th? bod? ies assemble at noon, and the stage set for the arrival of the President at 2 or 3 o'closk Immediate Action Expected.

HUERTA REFUSES SALUTE; DENIES INSULTING FLAG Mexico City, April 19.?The Mexican Foreign Minister. Se?or Portillo, announced to-night that it would be impossible to agree to the demand of the United States that the flag of t' at country be unconditionally saluted, because that flag was not insulted, because it was not flying from the Ameri? can launch, and because the marines were ?et free even before an investi? gation and the officer responsible for the arrests was himself arrested and held for trial. The Foreign Minister further announced that the Mexican government woould aproe that both flags be saluted?the American flag first, and then the Mexican flag?this arrangement to be made by a protocol signed by the American Charg? d'Affa?re?j, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, and the Mexican For? eign Minister. The United States government, Se?or Portillo declared, had re-fused permission to Mr. O'Shaughnessy to sign such a protocol, and demanded an unconditional salute by Mexico, which Mexico felt was incompatible with her dignity. In conclusion, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said: "Mexico has yielded as much as her dignity will permit. Mexico trusts to the fair-mlndednesss and spirit of justice of the American people." Weehington, April 19.?The Tribune correspondent has definite infor? mation that eome time ago General Huerta informed President Wilson that, if the United States Intervened in Mexico, he, Huerta, would fight. The message came In connection with a ststeme-nt from Huerta that, If the United States did not stop interfering with him, he could not handle the ?ituetion, and that it would shortly be up to th? United States to do so. If It did, however, Huerta would fight. DESPITE TAFT 2,000 YALE MEN CRY 'WAR!' Parade Through Streets of New Haven Firing Pistol Volleys. IBv To!?**"??ph .<?? Th?

WILSON ISSUES CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION OF CABINET AT ONCE Joint Meeting of Congress to Follow This Afternoon to Act on Crisis Created by Dictator's Defiance. WARNS AMERICANS IN MEXICO CITY Belligerent Rather than Peaceful Blockade the President'? Plan in Both the Atlantic and Pacific?Army on Border Ready to Move. From TC? Tr.bun?? BsfS Washington. April 19.?War with Mexico is inevitable Presi? dent Huerta has flatly refused to comply with the demands of the United States, and President Wilson, having been informed of this fact by telephone, has called a special meeting of the Cabinet for 10:30 o'clock to-morrow morning to hear his special message laying the facts before Congress. A joint session of the two houses of Congress will be held at 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, at which the President will read his special message. Meantime, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, United States charg? in Mex? ico City, has been instructed to advise all Americans to leave Mexico President Wilson contemplates a belligerent, rather than a "peaceful," blockade of Mexican ports on both the Atlantic and Pa? cific coasts. The Atlantic fleet is meanwhile ploughing its way at 12 knots or faster toward the Mexican coast, and the army is, figuratively speaking, up on its toes awaiting word from the White House to pre? pare for action. Every preparation possible in advance of a declaration of war has been taken by the military forces, and ships are in readiness to con? vey the troops to Lower Mexico, if it is decided not to enter that country from the north. Both houses of Congress will doubtless pass a resolution indors? ing the course of the President and making such appropriation for military purposes as Mr. Wilson may desire before adjournment to? morrow night. Opinion is still divided as to whether Huerta is deliberately forc? ing intervention, or whether he has so misconstrued the iuibearance of the administration in Washington as still to believe that it is "bluffing." According to the representatives of the President now in Wash? ington, there is nothing further which Huerta can do to avert the drastic measures to which the administration is committed by its ultimatum and Huerta's refusal to comply with its provisions, al? though it would surprise no one if, in the eleventh hour, Huerta made some desperate effort to avert the disaster which his treatment of the TT?i^d States has brought on his country. The following statement waa g? out at the White House a. 11:45 o'c] to-night. "A little after 11 o'clock last r.lgl brief dispatch came from Cba O'Shaughnessy. at Mexl. ?-> City, say thAt th?
