Intercept Large German Ship ment of Arms, etc. TO TAKE MEXICO CITY RAILROAD Admiral Fletcher Told lo "Use Your Own Judg ment" British Admiral Stops Trans fer of Ammunition From Vera Cruz to fampico (Special to the Evening Review). WASHINGTON, April 21. "Use your own juilgment." This was the substance of an order sent to Admiral Fletcher, following previous Instruc tions .that a shipment of 200 Krupp machine guns and two million rounds or ammunition, aboard a German steamer, must not be a'lowed to reach Huerta. President Wilson an nounced this afternoon that he did not wish to act aggressively until so authorized by Congress. While the Senate still held up the resolution supporting his policy, the President filmed with Impatience. These guns and ammunition were recently or dered in Germany by General Huerta for the purpose of defending the Vera Cruz and Mexico City railroad. To gain control of this railroad, will be one of the United States' first tasks. If this shipment renchea Huerta, it will certainly bo used against the United States. There is a rumor that Admiral Fletcher has already seized the shipment, but of this there is no confirmation, nnd it is discredited in official circles. At 3: 110 o'clock Secretary Daniels said he hud no word of the develop ments at Vera Cruz. Official circles heard without comment the report that marines had landed and taken possession of the custom house. It was said Fletcher's orders were to land no men until the shipment of munitions had been landed. Itritish Admiral Takra llnml. VERA CRUZ, April 21. Acting tinder orders from llritish Admiral Craddock, the llritish oil steamer Eldorra refused to transport ammuni tion from Vera Cruz to the Hurrta forces at Tampico. The vessel had already taken the ammunition aboard hut Craddock ordered the cargo dls: charged. The captain of the Eldorra explained that England's friendly re lations with the United States for bade the vessel running by the American fleet with war material aboard. Semite Still Debating. WASHINGTON'. April 21. The Senate debute on the resolution em- j powering tho ('resident to use armed forces against Gencrnl Huerta was opened by Senator Lodge, who de fined tho powers of the President and Congress.

May Have Taken Custom House. WASHINGTON, April 21. Numer ous rumors were current during to day's cabinet session. One was that Admiral Fletcher had already seized Vera Cruz, and the arms and am munition which had arrived there for General Huerta. Another report said the Admiral had received direct orders to make such seizure. A third account was thnt a German vessel with a shipment of arms and am munition had not yet arrived there. Officials were inclined to discredit theso reports. M m :ive Notice f Itlockade. WASHINGTON, April 21.

Good Roads Day, several residents living south of town have suggested that the town people give some detinue attention towaru the improvement of South Mill street. Kor a distance of 200 to 300 yards paralleling the railroad track is said to be the worst piece of road in the district. It has neither grad ing nor drainage, although both could bo easily done. Moth the city and the road district seem to continually overlook the improvement of this very bad piece of road. Since this Good Roads Day movement is purely a volunteer proposition, let enough of these volunteer workers devote their efforts to that particular place to put it in at least as good condition as the remainder of tho road fon several miles out of town.

Red DAYLIGHT STORE NEW TALK IT OVER AW Search and Seizure Ordinance Up in City Council WAS REFERRED TO COMMITTEE Ordinance to Repeal it Introduced Bread Ordinance, Lights in West Roseburg . Park and Other Matters Heard In a session given mainly to re considering its former ai'tion, the city council Monthly night took meas ures to refer the search and seizure ordinance in regard to the shipment of linnzo thru nlhor ici rt it's tlitin ttip common carriers, the railrond and express companies, to the city attor ney, together with the new ordinance submitted last night asking for its repeal, that the legality of the meas ures might be derided definitely. The peUtion to standardize a loaf of bread, to be sold locally, which pre viously had been laid on the table. was taken up and referred to a com mittee; the abatement of the nuis ance on the property of C. S. Jack son, in North Koseburg. was again decided; nnd Attorney Elbert He- matin appeared agnin in behalf of the South Main street residents, who without having been referred to a committee for examination, and that on account of the peculiar powers it carried, such consideration by legal am horilies was neci'ssary. Wit bout going Into the matter at any length, Mr. Kullerton's ordinance simply asks the repeal of ordinance known as No. r7.". He said his motive was to jave jt; ,eKaIity determined and provided it was found to be in good form be said he had no other objec tion to Its being put in force. Re gardless of political aspirations at this time. City Attorney Abraham said he would make a t borough analysis of the legal questions and render bis decision without thoughts as to the consequences. Mr. Parker, of the Hoyal Pakery, who stated that be. backed by the reril.s. haJ undertaken to have the ',oaf of broa(, of (H,al ,n:l,lufacture standardized, took the floor in his own hehaif nnd nsh0i uie council why the petition, freely signed by the bread dealers, had been tabled. He also said in the course of his remarks that it was not true that the move ment was in the interest of outside manufacturprs, who shipped in and sold bread here. He explained that a short loaf of bread cheats the oov. sumer, and that by an established standard of 10 ounces or an other specific weight it would put the local bread on a par with the imported article and would eventually displace ft. He stated that the grocers had ex pressed themselves in favor of t he local bread If It was made equal In quality and quantity to that shipped In.

Carried. Although, as Attorney Abraham stated, C. S. Jackson had been noti fied according to methods usually fol lowed in such cases to connect a cer tain nuisance on his property in North Roseburg with the sewer, and it had not been done, ho expressed tho opinion that it was better to pro ceed on the ground that the thing constituted a nuisance, which the city could make him abate. lie showed that it was dangerous to the health of neighboring residents and that flies in the summer would carry from it germs of disease, with pos sibly serious results. He said it was an easier matter to punish for having a nuisance than to compel connection to a sewer. He advised that the committee serve the proper notice to this effect, and If the offence was not corrected that he would proceed to prosecute. The request for the city to stand the expense of maintaining two drinking fountains and a few lights in the West Roseburg park during the summer came in the form of a communication from a committee appointed by tho Parent-Teachers' Association of the Fullerton school, which has provided, as Mr. Fullerton explained, the only park of any kind in the city. As the city as a whole is free to use the grounds, it was thought that the items, of water and light might be taken care of 'by the city. Tito fountains will cost the cityv $1 a mouth and lights about $l.i0 each. It Is said the associa tion bad expended over $400 in im proving the grounds. On motion the matter was referred to tho commit tee on public improvements. In the matter of tho refund of tho assessment for tho repaired intersec tion at South Main and Orcutt streets. Attorney Hermann Buid ho understood the matter to have been dropped, accusing Councilman Ham ilton of asking the city engineer not to trifle with it as it w :is unimport ant. Councilman Hamilton replied that he had not known what action the council had taken, and when the records were read it. was found that tho matter had been referred to tho street committee as well as the en gineer, whereon the com mittee said thy bad neglected to look into the case and would do so beloro the next meeting. As the property owners on Spring street had shown their intention to light the assessment fixed by tho eily for the Improvement, City Recorder Wim berty informed t ho cmi nell that an injunction suit to prevent tho city officials from collecting the amounts due had been filed, lis asked that the council vole an amount, sufficient to make a reply, which would he about $2. Till, and on motion u war rant providing the necessary fee was allowed. The suit for injunction is being brought by Attorney A. N. Orcutt In behalf of Ida C. Giles, Mr. Ketch, K. H. I.enox. C. Flagler, A. J. Geddes ami others, tho grounds being that the cost did not corres pond to t he est i mates made by tile city engineer. Councilman Hamilton called atten tion to tho needed improvement of the floor of the Der Creek bridge, which is now in a rouj;li condition, duo lo its being worn. He bad found by investigation that 27,0011 feet of planking would flour the bridge, by placing 2-iuch planks on tin? bottom and ;Hnrh planks on top. Mayor Rice took occasion lo ask if a bard surra o pavement might ho laid, and was informed by Knginoer Hicks that the bridge would not su pporl t he added weight.

It was moved that the street committee be given full power to act In renaril to it as it taw fit, and also as-certain what action the county would take in aiding 1 ho fit y.
