Five hundred striking ts!lnr. leaving

a parade south from In front of St.

They marched hy twos, shoving men
and women off the sidewalk, until they
reached Thirtieth street. There, us It
was after . o'clock, they met thousands
of inn and women, pouring out of the
rurroundlng buildings.
They sonn attracted throng of .1,000
working inn and women, highly etched,
shouting and hooting. The crowd blocked
traffic 111 Flfl.i avenue frun Twenty

tions bora 'no so b.nl that 100 police re
suves arid mounted men were culled to
restore order, I'lee-r Flftn avenue and the
Fide streets for traffic and quell the
tendencies of the strikers to j lot.
With the iJrrivul of the policemen the
strikers and their allies became threat

to hurl pleren of Ice, sticks und any mis

crowd olfeied rtslstuiae, and the rapid
smack of police clubs, on tho shoulders
of the strikers could be heard ubove
the ells.
The wtrlkers fought back, hurling Ice

The policemen gave the guesta of the

inhibition of handling the excited mob

NO NEWS FROM GENERAL PERSHING
REGARDING MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS
War Department Has Asked Carranza Why He Rushes
Troops to Border Herrera's Desertion to Villa
Still a Matter of Doubt.
Villa wan attacked and defeated nt Santa Gertrudes last iiinht, hy
Carranza troops. Gen. Gnvirn announced after receiving a ilespntch from
the south. Villa fled to El Oso.
No word was received at Washinprtnn yesterday front Cnrranz?. In
repnrd to the protocol hetween the two countries. Ambassador Designate
Arredondo expects one to-day.
Cnrranzn has been asked, it is said, what is the meaninp; of the move
ment of mnny of his troops to the border.
The Cabinet may decide to-day to call out the cavalry forces in tin
State militia to patrol the border.
Whether or not Gen. Luis Herrera has joined Villa with 'J.000 Cnr
ranzistas is still u matter of doubt. Mr. Arredondo denies it, ns nlao
does a tclcirrnm said to be siftned by Herrera.
On the other hand, Gen. Hell of El Paso is reported to have notified
Gen, Kunston late last nifrht that Herrera had deserted Carranza.
The War Department is investiiratinK the Herrera report, and in th
absence of confirmation is withholding judgment.
First detailed story of the record marches of Per.shiiiK's troops in
Mexico is sent to Tin: Sun, uncensorcd, from the headquarter" of the
United States expeditionary forces.
Villa was forced to retreat to Namiquipa by Carranza forces after
a clash at Santa Clara, according to a message from Gen. Hertaui.
I Col. Dodd's force is in that vicinity and may have taken part, is thn
belief in El Paso.
A telegram purporting to lie from Gen. I.uis Herrera was shown at
'Juarez, the Mexican denying he had joined Villa, nnd stating that he wan
j fighting the bandits.
I Gen. Funston, at San Antonio, received a message from Gen. Bsll,
nt El Paso, late last night confirming the report of Gen. Herrera's de
sertion.
Gen. Funston has ordered Gen. Pershing to send more report con
cerning what is going on at the front. He is worried over lack of in
formation. Gen. Funston has asked for eight more aeroplanes for service at
the border. The War Department ordered them to the bonier.
Lieut. Gorrcll, the nvintor missing since Sunday, was found nearly
starved.
Senator Sherman of Illinois tried in vain to get action in the Kcnnta
on his proposal to raise a volunteer force of 50,(100 for service in .Mexico.
WHY BIG FORCE AT BORDER?
U. S. ASKS OF CARRANZA
Washington, March 13, Although
Stato Department officials claim to
have nothing to substantiate it, Hie re
port persisted to-night in Admluistri
rlon circles that the l.'nited States had
made Inquiries of Gen. Carranza as to
the purp,,!"!i "f ,u, reported concentra
tion of .Mexican forces at various points
along the border.
The assembling of these troops has
caused considerable uneasiness In Amer
ican towns along the International boiin.
dary and particularly at Kl Paso, Tex.
While appeals have been made lo the
War Department from these towns for
larger forces 10 protect them from pos
sible attack, officers of the army
frankly Mate that with th exception
of about e.eoo troops, practically th"
entire, mobile force of the regular army
Is alieudv on Ihe border.
It is understood th situation will be
