200 MEXICANS ARE KILLED
4 AMERICANS KILLED;

Over Important
Mexican Port
war between the United States
and Mexico has begun. Four of our
qovernment’s forces were killed as
marines were landed at Vera Cruz
Tuesday and about twenty wounded.
It is reported that two hundred Mex
icans were killed.
The long expectea conflict has
peen precipitated by the refusal of
Huerta to salute the flag of the Un
ited States with twenty-one guns as
reparation for the arrest of an assis
tant paymaster and several marines
who had gone ashore at Tampico to
buy gasoline. The real cause of the
war is the series of murders of Amer
jcan citizens that have been commit
ted from time to time since Huerta
geized the reins of government.
A shipload of arms and amunition
was about to be landed at Vera Cruz
consigned to Huerta and the precipi
tate action by our snips was to head
off these supplies for the usurper.
The flag that Huerta refused to sa
lute now flies over the principal sea
port of Mexico and Uncle Sam is in
charge of the Customs House there,.
Admiral Fletcher in command of our
forces at Vera Cruz demanded the
surrender of the city and when it
was refused landed marines from his
ships. There was no resistance but
later the Mexicans opened fire which
was kept up mainly from the house
tops. The Mexicans retreated. They
attempted a flank movement but it
was broken up by the fire from the

It is reported that Huerta has had
the railroad between Vera Cruz and
the City of Mexico torn up to pre
vent the advance of the United
States troops. There is also a grow
ing probability that the Villa forces
and those of Huerta will unite
against the United States. If so, it
will be a fierce and bloody war.
One of the next moves will be the
seizure of Tampico, which is a sea
port city, second in importance to
Vera Cruz. The United States has
enough ships on the way to blow
both cities off the map, if necessary.

Hundreds of Friends Mourn
For Popular Citizen Who

The hosts of friends of Mr. Eg
bert Barrows Freyer were shocked
and grieved Sunday afternoon by the
report of his death, which spread
quickly over the city. He was one
of the most prominent and popular
men in Marietta and one of the city’s
best citizens. Everybody knew ani
liked “Bertie” Freyer and his death
was felt as a personal loss. When
it was known that he had taken his
own life, without any known cause
whatever the grief of his friends was
still deeper. Members of his fami

had been apparently asleep, with a
wound from which he died ten min

cept a brief note of a business na
ture.

St. James Church and very popular

monuments for his firm and had no
superior in such work in the South.
He was about 34 years old and was
married twelve years ago to Miss
Arnoldina Reese, a daughter of Bish
op Reese, of Savannah. They had
two small sons.
Mr. Freyer was a Royal Arch Ma

Lodge, Cherokee Chapter, and his
brother masons sent to his funeral a
beautiful square and compass of
white carnations and valley lilies
with blue ribbon sash.
The funeral services were held at
the residence on Cherokee street
Tuesday morning. A profusion of
floral offerings attested the love of
hfi_a friends. The vestry of St.
A‘(.lix'fiies gent a white cross. The choir

of the Marietta Knitting Co. sent a
wreath of white lilies.

TWO MEN BADLY HURT
IN FGHT AT SMYRNA
Mr. W. M. Moss, of Smyrna and
Mr. Gid Morris, are both confined
to their beds with serious injures
as the result of an attack made upon
them Sunday by D. S. Tennant, a
renter on Mr. Morrs’ property. The
attack was the result of some words
between Moss and Tennant in regard
to a calf belonging to the latter. The
best information the Journal is able
to obtain is that Mr. Morris went to
see Tennant to ask him to move off
his property as he was far behind
with his rent. After Mr. Morris had
started away Tennant and Moss had
some words and Tennant is said to
have struck Moss over the head with
a long piece of iron pipe. Mr, Morris
tried to assist Moss to his feet and
received a couple of blows on the
forehead. Moss has been unconscious
most of the time since the fight and
Mr. Morris has been confined to his
bed and requiring the attention of
a physician.
Tennant was arrested by Sheriff
Swanson and Deputy Hicks and made
bond Tuesday. He is charged with
assault with intent to murder,
