TODAY'S WAR NEWS.
President Wilson is pleased with
the quick work of Admiral Fletcher
in taking Vera Cruz.
Grave fears are expressed for the
safety of hundreds of Americans,
many of them, women and children
in the oil camps a Topila and in
terior points.
The United States demands that
the Mexicans, cease firing and return
to their usual work butit looks like
Huerta is fixing for a reprisal also
and of course the Americans are
wise to the situation. Under the
protection of Uncle Sam's guns an
opposing army of 50,000 could be
mowed down in and around Vera
Cruz.
Jt is probable that war will be
declared within a very short time.
Rumor has it that Secretary of
State Bryan would resign to head
the Carneige Peace movement.
Both the Senate and Congress
have endorsed President Wilson's
action and placed the matter en
tirely in his hand '.
Yesterday the Mexicans continued
to shoot at intervals at the Ameri
cans and Fletcher had the Chester
to shoot 6 inch shells into Vera
Cruz to subdue the rebellion. All
houses that sheltered the sharp
shooters were demolished and a
house to house canvass made by
the bluejackets to disarm the enemy.
Many buildings caught fire from the
exploding shells from the ships and
otherwise,
Wastiington, April 21. Marines
and blaejackets of the American
navy today took the customs house
and a large section of Vera Cruz
with a loss of four killed and 20
wounded. The loss of the Mexican
garrison was not officially known
he'e tonight, but was estimated at
200 killed. This was the first step
in the program of reprisal by the
United States against the Huerta
government for the arrest of Ameri
can bluejackets at Tampico and
other offenses "against the rights
and disn-ty of the United States."
It was the first elash between
forces of the United State3 and
Mexico since revolution broke out
in the southern republic in 1910, and
gave the Washington government a
Mexican problem.
FLETCHER SOUNDS WARNING.
Though fighting had not ceased
at a late hour tonight, Rear Admiral
Fletcher had warned the federal
commander that he would use the
big guns of the American fleet if
his man did not stop firing. The
American forces had orders to fire
only to defend themselves. The
United States intend to take no
offensive steps for the present. The
salute to the flag which Huerta re
fused wilLnot be satisfactory re
paration. It is understood a de
claration of apology as well as a
salute and a guarantee that the
rights aDd dignity of the United
States will be respected can alone
cause a withdrawal of the American
forces.
While American Marines and
bluejackets were fighting the senate
debated the wtfote Mexican situation
before crowded 'galleries. The joint
resolution that passed the house
supporting the President's proposal
to use the army and navy to obtain
reparation was being debated in the
senate afrmidnight with prospect of
an all night session.
NO QUARREL WITH MEXICAN PEOPLE.
The administration senators fought
this as tantamount to a declaration
of war.-saying the United States had
no quarrel with the Mexican people
but with the Huerta government
controlling a small portion of it.
The President went ahead on the
authority of the executive, in accor
dance with precedent, because he
believed au emergency existed.. He
gave Rear Admiral Fletcher autho
rity to seize the Vera Cruz customs
house to prevent the landing there
today by a German merchant vessel
of a big consignment of arms and
ammunition for the Huerta govern
ment. FIRST VICTIMS OF MEXICAN
WAR.
Galveston, Tex., April 21. In
formation received at the cable office
here confirms the Washington report
that the United States marines have
seized the cable office and customs
house in Vera Cruz, and that four
marines were killed and 20 wounded.
Hiqh Point, N. C, Thursday, April
It was reported from Vera Cruz
that official notification had gone
to Washington from American Con
sul W. W. Canada.
Those killed were Coxswain Shoe
maker. Comoral Hattertv Private
Marten and Seaman Poinsett, all of

The wounded include: C. L. Lhah
ly, U. Scnarwz. C. D. Cameron, J.

FROM
HAL WALKER.
Tells of
Seeing the Pope
While in
Rome.
Dr. J. R. Scroggs, now presiding
Elder of the Shelby district M. E.
church, received the following letter
from his grandson, Hal Walker, who
is in the U. S. navy. The letter ap
pears in the Shelby Star, and reads:
We had an excellent time in Europe.
I am very much impressed with the
French people, as well as all other
European people. For instance, you
know we see a lot of fruit dealers and
hand orean people from Italy, and I
had in my mind that all the men in
Italy were of this class, but upon my
visit soon found the people to be one
of the best classes in Europe. I visited
Rome while I was away and found my
trip to be worth very much to me.
I have often read of all the ancient
buildings and strange historical
things, but never thought that I would
have the pleasure of seeing them. We
went to see the Pope while there.
The stairs in the buiding where the
Pope stays were lined with solid gold
and they keep guards every five feet
apart. I guess that is to keep any
one from carrying away any of the
"steps." Well, we were to see' the
Pope at 10 o'clock on Monday morning
so we were on time. We walked in and
started to walk up the steps just like
we would at home when one of the
guards made us understand that we
were to walk up on our knees. This
seemed quite a joke and in fact I
thought tiie guard was trying to play
a joke on us, so I decided that I would
not let him joke Hal. I began walking
up the stairs in the good old fashion
ed North Carolina fashion, somewhat
surprised hat the other fellows did not
do likewise, but the guard soon gave
me to understand that if I didn'fr go
up those stairs on my knees that I
would go out of the door on my
head. I decided in favor of the for
mer. The Pope gave us an excellent
talk and praised the American sailors
most highly.
"On our way over to Europe we
stopped in North Africa and also in
Spain. We passed thru the Straits of
Gibraltar about midnight, but the
lights of the British fort could be seen
and it was a very beautiful sight. On
our return trip we passed it in broad
daylight aiW several of the boys got
pictures of it. We have been taking
target practice here for several days
now and will coal and sail for Mexi
co Friday. Will be gone until about
July or August. s
FACTORY DJE5TROYED BY FIRE
Also Several Other Houses Oc
curred at 12:30 O'clock Monday
Morning The Losses.
The Samuel B Coffin factory was
totally destroyed by fire early Mon
day morning, also a sjore and four
dwellings. The wind was blowing
a gale at the time and the fiire
spread rapidly. The loss of the
factory is estimated at $43,000 with
$5,000 insurance. The store and
dwelling of A. S. Ramsey valued at
$3,500 was a tojal loss. Insurance
to the amount oL3qo was carried

More Strict Enforcement of Every
City Ordinance is Demanded By The
- !.-;-.
Mayor Tate has recently issued in
structions to the Police Department
with reference to the enforcement of
every important ciry ordinance, such
as failure to immediately connect
with the city sewerv lines, failure to
observe to the letter, the hog pen
law and proper clean up and sanitary
regulations in connection with same.
He is also determined to enforce to
the letter the traffic and automobile
ordinance and with this determina
tion has appointed special plain
clothes officers to assist in detecting
violators and in making cases against
these persons. A rigid enforcement
as to speed limit, turning corners,
proper signals, keeping on tne right
hand side of the street; and every
other feature, about which so much
complaint has recentiv been made
on account ot reckless, careless and
in some cases malicious disregard
for the law, will be demanded.
Another practice which the Mayor
says he intends to break up, regard
less of cost, is 'j&H-cot every auto
mobile flfld etiy vehicle rushing
pell-mell to fires when the alarm is
sounded, which is also in direct vio
lation of the speed and traffic laws.
High Point has been fortunate thus
far in this respect, but it is the de
termination of the chv authorities to
safe-guard the people in every pos
sible manner and not wait until after
some fatality has occurred before
impressing upon our people the ab
solute necessity for observing the
rights of our citizens.
CONNECT WITH CITY SEWER
The City is making a house to house
canvass, demanding the immediate
compliance with the law with regard
to connecting with the city sewer and
persons who have faileJ to comply
are being cited before the Judge of
the Municipal Court to answer to the
violation of this law. A number of
cases have already been handle.1
and others are to follow daily until
the entire number have been
handled.
More than 200 Mexicans' were
killed at Vera Cruz Tuesday in the
fighting that followed the landing of
the United sailors and marine's

AT AUDITORIUM TO-NIGHT
"THE LEOPARD SPOTS," A
4 PLAY WITH REAL POWER
When a play produced which deals
frankly with some great problem in
sociology or practical eugenics, the
questions naturally arise: What
good will it accomplish ? What will
its effect be on the situation it por
trays? Is it a step in the right di
rection toward reform? Or is it
merely photographic intended to
attract through sensationalism and
exploited with that end in view,
leaving the problem untouched by
its influence unsolved by its, author?
A play that has only its sensation
al features to offer as a plea for pa-
fvrvno 'lActAAMl 4- 4-Is 1 at,a1 -P
earity; its shallowness and insin-
cerity are quickly unmasked and it is
- feiegatea by a discriminating public
-L. 1 - 1 f m . 1 a V
There has been nothing to keep it
alive; a little dramatic excellence,
perhaps, but no power no. "punch"
Thomas Dixon's new play, "The
Leopard's Spots," is destined to live
It has power it has punch it has
dramatic excellence.
MACCABEES HAVE GREAT TIME.
Large Bunch of Candidates Initiated
One of the very best meetings of a
secret order ever held in High Point,
occurred last Friday night when a
large class of candidates were put
through the mysteries of Maccabeeism
by the degree team from Gate City
Tent No. 7, Greensboro, in charge of
State Commander Moton, of Char
lotte. There was not a dull moment
from start to finish. In fact the rit
ual of the Macabees doesn't allow dull
care to linger long. After the work
.refreshments were served.
The local tent is after new mem
bers, 100 brand new ones are wanted
by May 1st and it is going to get
them good members are wanted,
too, and that's the only kind that will
get through the drag net. With this
end in view a public meeting was held
Tuesday night last at which time
State Commander Moton and others
made splendid talks, and as a result
a big bunch of applications were se
cured and the candidates will be made
."happy Friday night when they will
be made better citizens by joining this
order.
Prizes are offered for securing new
members by Commander W. L. Sta
nley and the local tent.
If you want good insurance at a
very low monthly rte, if you want
some pretty- initiatory work, if you
want to join a good lodge, get busy
and let's have your application it
costs nothing to join this month, rnly
the $1.50 you pay the examining phy
sician. Do it now. Turkey trot or
tango waltz to any Maccabee and say,
"I'm on" and he will do the rest.

. A young graduate in law who had
had some experience in Chicago, wrote
to a prominent practitioneer in Ar
kansas to inquire what chance there
was in that section for such an one
as he described himself to be.
"I am Republican in politics, and an
honest young lawyef."
In a few days he ' received this en
couraging reply:
"If you are a Republican the game
laws here will protect you, and if
you are an honesf lawyer, you will
have no competition." ,
