MEXICO CITY, Aug. 28.—Mexico this? afternoon made a move to mob ilize all her troops. A circular Issu ed to the Governors of all the States notified them "as the greater part of the republic has been pacified, the t federal army will be withdrawn and will now fulfill its fundamental mis sion to guard the sovereignty of the country and the integrity of the na tional territory.” Ranchers throughout the country will furnish guards for their own and their neightbor's properties, so that the federal troops may exercise their activities otherwise. The general impression from the circular is that Mexico is preparing for war. especially with the publica tion of the message of President Wil son and Secretary Bryan calling up on all Americans to leave Mexico im mediately. The news that large bodies of American troops will be mobilized along the frontier to enforce the neii. trality laws and that warships will be sent to Mexican waters is viewed with alarm by foreigners. * Despite the advice to leave Mexico forthwith, few Americans here appear to heed it. and look for more explicit reasons from the home GovernmenL The British. German, French, Aus trian and Spanish colonies here have passed resolutions indorsing recog nition of the Huerta Goverment and 'asking their Governments to urge the United States to do likewise. The resolutions do not criticise President Wilson, but are made in the interest of peace and that belief by this means it will be assured. Huerta Threatens Revolt. SANTA CRUZ, MEXICO, Aug. 28 — , It was learned on the highest au thority to-day that if President Hu erta is forced to resign at the behest of the United States he will head a fresh veloution and will place himself at the head of all the regular soldiers who will mutiny. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Nerves in the capital were strung almost to a breaking point to-day as the morn ing passed with absolutely no rift in the Mexican war cloud. At the White House it was an nounced that at 1 o’clock this morning a tlegram had been received from Huerta through John Lind, but that it had no vital bearing on the tense * situation, and the opinion was that the Mexican trouble-maker is firm <n hla determination to Ignore President Wilson’s plans and force armed In tervention. Advices from Mexico that Huerta is satisfied with President Wilson’s message to Congress on the situation has not tended to relieve the situa tion. This would indicate on the face of it that Huerta admits that he con- utitutmnally is debarred from being a candidate at the polls next October. It is pointed out in administration circles, however, that General Huerta ynay resign the presidency at any •time between now and October and thus make himself eligible as a can didate. The second note does not carry much weight in Washington. State N Continued on Page 2. Column 1. BOSTON, Aug. 28.—Walter Johnson’s game-winning streak of 15 straight victories was broken in a sensational manner by the Red Sox this afternoon by a 1 to 1 score in eleven innings. Except for Verkes’ single in the second inning not a Boston player saw first base until the eleventh. Then with one down, Yerkes singled and took third when Milan let the ball go trough him. Yerkes was run down on Wagner’s infield rap and Wagner reached second. With two strikes on Carrigan, he drove the ball safely to center and Wag ner scored the only run of the game. Ray Collins pitched a grand game. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 28.— A woman cashier in the Helsing fors Finland branch of the Ger man Electricity Company was ar rested to-day charged with $50,- 000 shortage in her accounts. DOVER. ENG., Aug. 28.—Henry Sullivan, the long-distance swim mer from Boston, to-day accepted the challenge of Jabez Wolffe for a race across the English Channel in twelve hours for the world’s championship. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 28.— Federal Judge Van Fleet to-day rebuked Marshall Woodworth, chief counsel for F. Drew Cami- netti, on trial as a white slaver. Woodworth was quoted in a newspaper interview to-day with saying that the white slave law was "never intended to apply to an indiscretion like that of Cami- netti and Maury Diggs." "If any thing like this occurs again, the court shall consider the guilty party in contempt, and he will be punished,” said the judge. WEST POINT, N. Y.. Aug. 28.— Definite announcement was made here to-day that there would be no football game this year be tween the Annapolis and West Point academies. The army ath letic council in an official state ment announced that it had been impossible for the committees of the two academies to agree on a site for staging the big game. In stead the army has arranged a game for November 29 with the Carlisle Indians at West Point. LONDON. Aug. 28.—Premier Asquith was again attacked by suffragettes to-day. While play ing golf at Elgin the women rush ed upon the Premier and smashed his hat. Two women were ar rested. WASHINGTON, Au&. 28.— President Wilson will leave the White House for Cornish, N. H., with Mrs. Wilson to-night or to morrow. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Any persons attampting to smuggle arms or ammunition into Mexico will be arrested and treated as filibustered, according to infor mation received at the State De partment to-day. President Wil son is determined to enforce his neutrality order. Convicts in County Camp are Robbed Officials of the county ohainRanK camp In Oakland City were looking Thursday for thieves In their midst. The camp had been robbed. A lot of clothing, razors and other articles were stolen. The police suspect that the robbery may have been an inside job: Camp Perry Shooter Accidentally Slain CAMP PERRY. OHIO, Aug. 28.— Francises. Zagara Ballon, a Peruvian, was killed to-day when a rifle in the hands of Juan E. Zegarra was dis charged accidentally. This is the first fatal accident that has occurred at the shooting matches held on the Camp Perry range. ‘Don’t Worry/ Says Woman 103 Years Old WHITTIER, CAL.. Aug. 28.—Mrs. Lydia Heald Sharpless has just cele brated her 103d anniversary. Mrs. Sharpless, who was the first woman in Whittier to register after the enfranchisement of women, said her longevity was due to her living up to her motto, “don't worry." Solicitor Cites Prisoner’s State ment on Stand, “Now is the Time, This is the Place.” Solicitor Dorsey was as busily en gaged on the Frank case Thursday a9 he was any day before Leo Frank was convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan. If the factory superintend ent finally succeeds in avoiding the penalty fixed it will not be because the Solicitor has not fought to the utetr- most of his strength to put the rope around Frank’s neck. Briefly but pointedly Solicitor Dor sey Thursday morning summed up his opinion of Leo Frank's latest alleged statement concerning the trial and the Solicitor's speech. “Frank,” said the Solicitor in his quiet manner, "declared on the stand that ‘now was the time and here the place.’ That’s s/.l I have to say.” The Solicitor declared that the State would ask the new Grand Jury, which will be sworn in Tuesday, to indict Jim Conley Immediately as an acknowledged accessory after the fact in the murder of Mary Phagan. He declared further that he had no in tention of asking for a shortening of the sentence, as this was in the prov ince of the Grand Jry and the judge. No Vacation for Dorsey. Although worn out as a result of the long strain. Solicitor Dorsey de clared Thursday that it was his in tention to keep right at work without taking a vacation. A few days of "taking It easy,” he said, will put him in excellent shape for the remainder of the summer. The wheels of activity in the Solici tor's office, which had stopped for a few hours after Frank's conviction was obtained, started again Tlfursday as noiselessly and smoothly as though there had been no interruption of their tireless activity. If the lawyers for Frank are going to puc forth herculean efforts to save him from the gallows, every move on their part will be met with the most stubborn resistance by Dorsey. When they announced that they would ask Judge Roan for a new trial, the Solicitor calmly gave out that he proposed to ask the indictment of Jim Conley as accessory after the fact from the next Grand Jury at its first session. In this he appears to display a cer tain confidence that the verdict of the twelve jurors last Monday will | not be set aside. If Frank at a sub sequent trial were found not guilty of the murder, Conley’s conviction as accessory after the fact, if not illegal, at least would be anomalous, in that there couid be no accessory after the fact of the murder if a jury de cided that Frank was innocent. The announcement by Frank's at torneys that they would continue their fight into the higher courts In the event that Judge Roan refused them a new trial, was met by the renewed activity of the Solicitor In seeking out new evidence against the convict ed man. Exactly as though Frank were still in the Tower awaiting trial, the So licitor gathered about him Wednes day and Thursday the detectives who have been working on the case and instructed them to run down rumors he had heard during the last days ot the trial In respect to evidence which * (Continued on Page 5, Column 1.

NEW YORK, A UR. 28—The Ham- burg-American liner Imperator, the biggest passenger - carrying ship afloat, w’hich arrived in port last night with 3,100 passengers on board, was swept by lire to-day as she lay at her pier in Hoboken, N. J. Second Officer Herman Gerbracht lost his life while trying to close the fire doors and confine the flames to the fifth deck, or ^k*ovislon room Tt was reported thaWwo seamen had been burned to death, and for a long time they were missing, but subse quently w'c~e found. Many of the crew were injured fighting the flames and battling with the 2,000 steerage passengers who were panic-stricken as the fire raged. The damage to the ship is esti mated at SI 00,000. First Cabin Deck Saved. By the terrific work, the flames were kept from spreading to the first cabin and the superstructure, and within four hours the flames were un der control. They hud licked their way Into the coal bunkers, however, and the firemen settled themselves down to carry on a patient battle. The danger, however, to the bal ance of t*-e ship was entirely over, Captain ftuser said. If the fire had occurred at sea un der the same conditions, the tragedy probably would have been a duplicate of the Titanic disaster. The Imperator got into her berth at 7:15 o’clock last night with the big gest passenger record in the history of trans-Atlantic ‘ravel. Among her 763 first-class passengers were George Ade, William Ellis Corey. Samuel Un- termyer, Paul Warburg. Mrs. Rudolph Spreckels,- F. W. Wool worth, Julius P. Meyer, vice president of the Ham burg-American line, and Allison Ar mour. Flames Spread Quickly. The fire was discovered in the pro vision room on the ship about 5 o’clock. Fed by the oils and fats of the foodstuffs, it. spread rapidly. The crew was assisted by the trained fire fighters from Hoboken, Jersey City and New York. The provision room is in the after part of the vessel. So swiftly did the flames eat their way that it had been communicated to the second cabin before the alarm became general. Steerage passengers, hearing the crackling of the walls and stays, set up a cry of fright which echoed over the entire ship. Smoke rolled upward from the liner, giving the impression on shore that the Hamburg-American pier was on fire. Police reserves were rushed t > the scene. Captain Ruser, chief of the flvvs commanders of the leviathan, was one of the first to reach the provision room. He personally took command and directed the fight against the flames. The room was seething not and filled with smoke, but the men dashed in with lines of hose and soon thousands of gallons of water were being poured upon the blaze. When the woodwork of the second cabin ignited, word v_s sent to the pier to summon the land firemen, ami a general alarm was turned in to the Hoboken fire department. The land force was soon on th* scene, and several high-pressure streams were added to the fight. Acts of heroism mingled with acts ot cowardice during the worst of the fire. The hero of the disaster wa« Second Officer Herman Gerbracht.
