AMERICANS ATTACKED '
SECOND TIME AT PARRAL
[Continued From First Page.]
for its original destination beyond the
town.
President Wilson is not yet ready
to withdraw the American punitive
expedition from Mexico, and the
American forces are going ahead with
t.he sole object of capturing Villa
and dispersing his band. While no
official announcement was made re
specting the attitude of the Adminis
tration toward the suggestion from
the Carranza de facto government that
the troops snould be withdrawn, the
strongest intimation was given in high
official Quarters that the Pershing ex
pedition will remain in Mexico until
its object has been accomplished.
K1 Paso. Tex.. April 15.—Fear for i
tlie Safety of Americans and other for
eigners in Purral in which city the
little cavalry force of 140 men. under
Major Frank Tompkins, was attacked
last Wednesday, was expressed here
to-day.
Some of the Americans known to be
in that section of Mexico are G. <\
Smith and W. C. Palmer, of the Parral
and Durango Railway; 1-eslie Webb
and B. f\ Robinson, of the El Rayo
Mining I'ompany. and a Miss Dun
ning, a Methodist missionary. An
other woman missionary, understood
to he associated with Miss Dunning,
is also reported to be in Parral. There t
are several French and German sub- ,
jects in that vicinity.
The Mexican censorship over the
land lines leading into Parral Is strict
and the military authorities are send- 1
all information, in code.
w Representatives of mining companies

are making frantic efforts to obtain
information regarding their plants, for

their vengeance on American prop

an official of the Alvarado Mining
Company that the mob had made a
destructive attack on its mill.
The story of the Parral affair is yet j
to be told, while uncertainty envelops
the further march southward of Ma

Economic Conditions More
Menacing to Restoration of
Order Than Political
HI Paso, Tex., April 15.—Economic
conditions in Mexico are more menac
ing to the hopes of a restoration of !
order and the avoidance of serious
friction between t lint country and
the United States than any political
conditions, according to an American
who returned here io-day from a tour
which embraced most ol' the territory
north of Mexico Cit>.
This man, who is identified with
large American interests in Mexico
brought reports of the destruction by
mobs of the American plants and i
warehouses in several places
"These outbreaks." he said, "are in
my judgment far more economic, than
political. The condition of the masses j
of the people throughout Northern,
Mexico is terrible. Magnificent farm
lands capable of raising almost any
crop in i lie world, have been lying un
titled for five years. The peons live.;
or rather exist In mystery. Plain
starvation faces thousands of them.
Ignorant and Su|>crstitloUß
The trouble Is that they have been
sedulously taught by agitators to be
lieve that all their woes are due to
the foreigners. They have never
seen a poor, ill-nourished American!
and the traditional envy of the poor
or the well-to-do has grown in their
case to a man.
They are, of course, extremely
ignorant and superstitious and the,
antl-Carranasa factions who are many
if divided, consistently tell them that
Carranza Is in the pay of the Amer
icans who are going to seize all Mexico
and take what little they liavc left
away from them."
The alarm along the border caused
by request of General Carranza for
the withdrawal of the American
troops, had far from subsided to-dav.
El Paso is filled with refugees wlio
have interests in Mexico ranging from
fortunes to crops. Those refugees
are said generally to favor interven
tion and have been greatlv exercised
by reports that President Wilson con
templated withdrawal of the expedi
tionary force. Stories or the looting
and destruction of American property
Is Mexico and of hostility toward
Americans by Mexicans are the staple
topic of conversation in this city and
lose nothing in the telling.
Carranza Gives Pledge
That Honor of Mexico
Will Be Kept Inviolate
Mexico City. April l:,. The city
was brilliantly illuminated last night
in honor of tlie arrival in the Mexican
Capital earlier in the day of General
Carranza. All public buildings were
outlined with electric lights and large
crowds paraded through the streets.
General Carranza met his ministers in
a conference at the National Palace
in the evening and two hours later
he appeared on the balcony of the
palace under the liberty bell and ad
dressed the throng which waited in
the square below. General Obregon.
minister of war. stood at General
Carran/.a's side while he spoke.
General Carranza assured his hear
ers that the sovereignty, honor and
dignity of Mexico would be guarded
inviolate and exhorted them to work
patriotically for reconstruction, the
first important steps of which they
were about to witness. His remarks
i were frequently applauded.
RAILROAD RUMBLES
NEW RECORD IN

i
Special to the Tclegiafh
J Philadelphia, April 13. With an
j increase In the price of steel rails al- ,
J ready posted by the United States'
Steel Corporation and many of the
i largo independent companies to take
j effect on May I, the Pennsylvania Kail- ;
i road yesterday placed one of the larg
-1 ; est orders for rails in the history of its
! organization, when it asked for 205,000 !
tons, at an autlay of nearly J6.000.000.
' The rails arc for 1917 delivery, but ,
! by ordering them at this time the com- |
pany saves on an average of t."> a ton. ;
| Simultaneously with the announce
i ment of this order it was learned that
; the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
i had ordered twenty-six locomotives
1 from the Baldwin l-ocoinotive Works
I in tiiis city. Twenty of the engines will
i be of the Mikado type and six of the
! Mailet type. These engines will cost
i in the neighborhood of ? 1,000,000. They
i have become necessary owing to the
| Heading's constantly increasing
. nes*.
' of the 205,000 tons of rails ordered
i by the Pennsylvania Railroad yester
i [ day, 125,000 tons will be for the lines
| ' east of Pittsburgh.
| C. V. R. R. Bridge Iron
! Makes Fortune For Buyers
I Those who have been watching with |
J Interest the demolition ol' the old iron j
i bridge of the Cumberland Valley rail- j
- road across the Susquehanna river at
Mulberry street and its replacement
V with a modern reinforced double-track
t concrote structure are probably not
- aware mat the war in Europe and the
3 | enormous demand for iron has made
t the rejected steel structure a source ;
i of great prollt for the purchase of the i
1 ! old bridge.
1 Luria Brothers, of Reading, dealers
in old iron, were the successful bid
ders for the iron bridge now being re
moved. .Since their contract was
closed more than a year ago. the de
s mand for iron has been so enormous
- that its increase has made them a
1 pretty penny. It is said that their con
- tract provides for the delivery of the
-1 bridge on the tars and the big short
i age in iron has made possible the con
s' version of the old T-l>ars into market
1j able shapes by simply cutting off the
e T-ends. it Is common rumor that
I Luria Brothers will realize a profit of
) approximately SIOO,OOO on the deal.

Grave Concern Is Felt
For Safety of American
Line of Communication
1 i , By . Issociated Press
Columbus, N. M., April 15. Grave
[concern for the safety of the
I American line of communication was
manifested in military quarters here
to-day.
h Every preparation has been made
at the base here to keep the line in
tact. Motor trucks lined up and tilled
I witli rations stood in front of military
j headquarters awaiting and the tele
graph station here was ordered to be
| kept open throughout the night.
No reason was offered at military
headquarters for Ihe unusual activity
but unofticial reports gave assurance
that it was based on reports made by-
Captain U. S. Grant in command of
a small detachment of Americans
guarding the line at Ascension, 60
miles south of the border.
It is known that with diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Carranza pending, close watch is j
being made for a trace of the 4,000
men under General Gomez, who were
reported to be moving from Sonora j
into Chihuahua In such a way as to
prevent possible menance to the Am
erican line of communication.

The attacking: for<-e pursued tlieni
and were met by a fire from the Am
ericans, who were using a machine
gun, killing 40 Mexicans. According
to this story, the attacking party
comprised Carranza soldiers and
civilians.
Departmental officers manifest a i
disposition (o credit the report. They
regard the story us more probable,
than some of the versions which have
come out of Mexico. In previous cases
soldiers entered towns for the pur
pose of buying supplies and were re
ceived in a friendly manner, and if
they had gone into Parral for that
purpose il was probable, officers said,
i that they went unarmed.
