They claimed that railroad communication between the capital and Pacific const points had been In terrupted and that at the first report of any movement by Huerta the east coast line* would be severed to pre vent any possible attempt by the dic tator to reach a port. It was said the movement in Vera Cruz state had been under contemplation for six months. i Final Appeals Made in Crowd ed Senate to “Consecrate Greatest Wonder in the World to Liberty, Fraternity, Equality” Washington.—The tolls debate was enlivened this afternoon by an attack by Senator Clapp, pro gressive republican, on President- Wilson’s course in the tolls dis pute.
