vidual Acts of Great Service
Are Recounted in Detail.
WASHINGTON. June 7. Narratives
of the bravery of enlisted men of the
Navy and Marino Corps during the
fighting- at Vera Cruz on April 21 and
22 were Included in Rear-Admiral
Fletcher's report of the Mexican port's
seizure, made public today by the Navy
Department. While the report bestows
praise on the entire personnel, the fol
lowing men were mentioned for con
spicuous acts:
H. N. Nlckerson, Wheeling, W. Vs.,
boatswain's mate, second class, battie
st p Utah Was slightly wounded three
times April 21, and after flrst-ald band
ages had been applied he took charge
of a squad that built an advanced bar
ricade under fire. He then occupied a
dangerous position. He was again
wounded three times, two shots shat
tering his left leg above and below the
knee. He was then carried to the rear
and has since had his leg amputated
close to the knee. His grit after hav
ing been wounded three times and the
courage he displayed when his later
wounds made It necessary to carry him
to the rear was an Inspiration to all
who saw him.
Small Squad Silences Foes.
A. Do Somer. Milwaukee, chief turret
captain, battleship Utah April 21 he
was placed In charge of a small squad
of men and stationed at a warehouse.
His position was subject to a severe
fire, and after several hours of well
directed fire he silenced It. April '22 he
performed similar services and was al
most continuously under direct fire
from snipers. His services were of ex
ceptional value.
J. O. Harner, Canton, O., boatswain's
mate, battleship Florida April 21 was
one of four volunteers to go Into an
alleyway down which a heavy fire was
being directed. Harner finally suc
ceeded In dislodging the enemy. J. P.
Kchumacher, coxswain, one of the vol
unteers, was killed. Previous to this
time Harner occupied a position along
side a wail from which he, with ac
curacy and coolness, killed the crew of
Mexican machine gun operating In
front of the Naval Academy.
O. Creg-an, Tort Richmond, N. Y
boatswain's mate, battleship Florida;
H. C. Beasley, Newark, Ohio, and L. C.
fciinnett, seamen of battleship Florida,
were the other volunteers who distin
guished themselves with Harner.

a Mexican soldier about to' kill Lowry.
C. F. Bishop, Pittsburg, quartermas
ter, second class; J. A. Walsh, New
"York City, seaman; C. L. Nordsieck,
Valatle, N. Y., ordinary seaman; F. J.
Sehrepnet, New York City, ordinary
seaman. These were in a sig
nal squad subjected to a con
stant Are In an unusually exposed
position, but were not diverted from
their Important duty of keeping un
broken communication by signals with
the Prairie.
N. Dustrup, Brooklyn. N. Y.. chief
turret captain, battleship Utah For
several hours he was in charge of an
advanoed barricade under a heavy fire,
April 21. and not only displayed ut
most ability as a leader of men, but
by his marked composure and courage
he exerted a great steadying Influence
on the men around him.
W. B. Weeks, Red Key, IncL, ordi
nary seaman, battleship Utah Al
though one of the youngest men of his
company, he attracted the attention of
his company officers when, exposed to
a severe fire at close range, he set an
example of coolness and bravery for
others to follow.
Scout Inn: Work of Value.
B. Berton, New York City, boat
swain's mate, second class, battleship
Utah Exposed to severe fire while
scouting. His work was of special
value In locating the established posi
tions of the Mexicans.
F. N. C. Overall, Iola, Kan. boat
swain's mate, first class, battleship
Utah Night of April 21, with squad of
three men, patrolled roofs in the dark
ness, preventing a surprise attack on
the section of his company In the
streets below. This service was of
special value.
J. G. Smith, Los Angeles, fireman,
second class, battleship Utah Was
with the Bennet-Mercler gun detach
ment. These guns did not have tri
pod mounts and the small struts fitted
were not suitable for use in the
streets. Early In the action Smith,
finding that under these conditions the
Bennet-Mercler guns were ineffective,
fired the gun from his shoulder and by
so doing rendered valuable service.
This has never before been done to my
knowledge.
Officers Also Commended.
Another report by Admiral Fletcher
tells of numerous officers of the Navy
and the Marine Corps who distin
guished themselves for cool indiffer
ence to danger and skill In handling
their men. Three were picked for
"eminent and conspicuous conduot In
battle." They were Captain W. R. Rush,
U. S. N., commanding naval brigade;
Colonel W. C. Neville. U. S. M. C, com
manding Second Regiment Marines,
and Lieutenant A Buchanan, U. S. N.,
commanding First Seamen Regiment.
"They are deserving of the highest
honors and rewards," Admiral Fletcher
said.
Admiral Fletcher named several of
ficers for extraordinary heroism In bat
tle. In that connection he said:
"Captain E. A. Anderson, U. S. N
commanded the Second Seamen Regi
ment. His indifference to the heavy
fire, to which he himself was exposed
at the head of the regiment, showed
lilm to be fearless and courageous In
battle.
"Lieutenant J. P. Lannon, U. 'S. N.,
assisted a wounded man under heavy
fire and after returning to the head of
his battalion was himself desperately
wounded.
"Ensign H. C. Frazier, U. S. N., ran
forward to rescue a wounded man and
in doing so was so exposed that the
fire of his own men was temporarly
suspended for fear of hitting him. He
returned at once to his position in line."

DR. ACH ELIA JV'O 1IRRUTIA.
- GALVESTON, June 7 (Special.) D r.' Aureliano Urrutia, former Minister of
the Interior In the Cabinet of Provisional President Huerta, of Mexico, after his
arrival here aboard the transport Han rock, with his wllje and six children, has"
decided to remain In Galveston for an indefinite period. Simultaneous with
Dr. Urrutla's decision to make his home in the United States, there comes a re
port from Mexico City that bis friends are concerned over the disappearance
of his eldest daughter, who, with several other children, was left behind in the
capital when Dr. Urrutia fled to Vera Crus. It Is feared that she has been sac
rificed in expiation of her father's sanguinary deeds by kinsmen of persons
who suffered death because they offended Huerta and Urrutia.
RUPTURE IS FEARED
Niagara Falls Conferees As
sume Grave Demeanor.
CRISIS HARD TO AVOID
Huerta Delegates Said to Take Posi
tion That TTnlted States Must
Not Try to Stop Blockade
Against Rebel Arms.
NIAGARA FALLS. June 7. It is dif
ficult to see how another rupture be
tween Huerta and the United States
can be avoided. If one occurs the be
lief is that the mediation proceedings
cannot continue. The American com
missioners did not reflect the gravity
of the situation, professing to be unin
formed that a crisis had been reached.
Tampico Is the center Of interest be
cause of the situation in which the
United States has been placed by
Huerta's determination to blockade that
port to stop the landing of munitions
of war for rebels. Any Interference by
the United States may cause General
Huerta to withdraw bis delegates from
the Niagara Falls conference.
The situation arose as a result of a
note of inquiry from General Huerta
through his delegates here as to what
the attitude of the United States was
toward the port of Tampico. Justice
Lamar and Fred W. Lehmann, the
American delegates, referred the in
quiry to Washington and the Informa
tion was given the mediators that
the United States had taken the posi
tion that Tampico was open to the
commerce of the world. This attitude
had been assumed immediately after
the rebels seized Tampico in order
primarily to protect shipments of oil
to all ports of the world. It had been
thought that General Huerta's gun
boats might interfere with these oil
shipments. In his desire to hamper the
constitutionalists from obtaining
revenues.
All of the participants to the con
ference today looked grave. One went
so far as to say "it looks black" but
he refused to particularize.
If the Huerta delegates have in
formed the mediators they might have
to withdraw from the prooeedlngs if
Huerta's efforts to maintain a block
ade are thwarted by. the American
Navy, this information has not been
conveyed tonight to the Americans,
The latter will have a conference with
the mediators tomorrow when this
point of view may be explained to
them.
Huerta delegates are . said to have
taken the stand that the United States
now must remain neutral as between
the federals and the rebels. They say
the American forces must not inter
fere with their efforts to stop the
landing of arms for the rebels and
that to do so would put the United
States in the position of using the Navy
to advance the cause of Carranza.
VTLLA NOT TO BE HAMPERED
Natera Appointment Designed to Ad.
jnst Minor Affair.
EL PASO, Tex., June 7. The result
of the appointment of General Natera
as commander of the new central mili
tary sone will be to place him in un
disputed command over the Arrieta
brothers, who have been reported as
having made trouble In Durango State,
according to persons arriving here to
day from General Carranza's bead
quarters. It was not done. It is said,
with any Intention of blocking General
Villa's movements to the south.
An entire company of the Arrieta
soldiers was defeated in a skirmish
with ten of Natera's men at the gen
eral investment of Zacatecas, said those
from the front. Fearing that this in
ternal rivalry amonc the constitution
alist soldiers might cause more serious
trouble, General Carranza made the
Natera appointment. It was explained.
Constitutionalist agents here an
nounced today that General Carranza
had spent Sunday at Paredon. It was
said the rebel commander-in-chief
would make his entry tomorrow into
Saltillo, his former state capital, where
it Is expected he will establish his pro
visional government and issue soon af
ter his arrival an answer to the latest
note of the mediators at Niagara Falls.
Canada.
At the same time Carranza is ex
pected to make a proolamation regard
ing the reorganization of the rebel
government which may have some
bearing on the international situation.
VOTE IS DUE TODAY
OXLT TWO SPEECHES LEFT OX
TOLLS EXEMPTION REPEAL.
Two Months' Debate on Trade Ooramia
aftou BUI May Prevent Adjourn
ment Before August 15.
WASHINGTON, June 7. Senate lead
ers expect to get through with the tolls
exemption repeal bill tomorrow night,
but the debate-wearied members will
have only a few days of breathing' spell.
Already the ways are prepared for
anti-trust legislation, and unless there
is a change in plans before the end of
the week the Senate will be at the
steady grind of discussing the Inter
state trade commission bilL
There Is little doubt that the vots on
the tolls repeal bill will come late to
morrow. There are only two set
speeches to be delivered before final
action is demanded.
The House Is through with anti-trust
legislation and will be hard at work on
the appropriation bills and general leg
islation for some time to come.
Few Senators expect debate on the
trade commission bill to end in less
than two montha At present the pros
pects for adjournment before the mid
dle of August, or even later, are not
bright.
The House will be engaged this week
with the $107,000,000 sundry civil ap
propriation bill.
Two measures are to be pressed as
quickly as the appropriation bill is out
of the way. They "are the Moon post
office bill, providing for railway mall
pay readjustments and opening up the
assistant postmastershlps throughout
the country to' competitive examina
tions, and the general dam bill, which
Is before the House for action on a
moment's notice.

ABODE OF ROYALTY
Man Who Says He Just Want

OFFICIAL LONDON. SHAKEN
One "Who "Might Have Been Assas
sin" Wander for Hoar Through
Rooms and Once Is Near to
Apartment of Queen Mary.
LONDON, June 7 Royal circles, as
well as pretty much all official London-
were shaken today by the discovery of
a young man who gave his name as
Harry Pike, in Buckingham Palace,
where the royal family spent Sunday.
In the early hours of the morning Pike
entered the palace, as he explained
afterward, to prove that entrance could
be effected. Once he was near the
Queen's apartment. He was finally dis
covered, however, and overpowered in
the servants' quarters.
He will be arraigned tomorrow on a
charge of having been found on en
closed premises for unlawful purposes.
There is nothing to show that Pike
is connected with the woman suffrage
movement.
Pike was ignorant of the interior of
the palace and had several adventures
while wandering about inside. Not
withstanding the heavy guard of sol
diers and police. Pike scaled the palace
wall and climbed into a basement win
dow on the north side of the building,
where Queen Mary has her apartment.
He entered several rooms and in one
changed his clothing, which was torn
and soiled through scaling the wall and
crawling along the driveway to reach)
the palace building.- The suit he ex
changed for his own belonged to a
servant.
The exploit of Pike caused great
alarm and also brought forth a deal of
criticism of the system of guarding the
palace and the lack of precautions
which permitted a stranger, who might
have been an assassin, to wander for
more than an hour through a royal
residence.
POINGARE IS OOTWIUED
RADICALS MANEUVER PRESIDENT
INTO HARD POSITION.
Tito - More Refuse to Undertake for
mation of Cabinet Veteran Fella
Rlbot to Reply Today.
PARIS, June 7. The ministerial
crisis was as far from solution today
as ever, despite the strenuous efforts
of President Poincare.
The exceptional difficulty in finding
a premier is openly declared to be due
to the skillful maneuvers of the
Radical followers of Joseph Calllaux
against the president, with the object
either of forcing him to' resign or
capitulate to them. President Poincare,
It is said, is resolved to do neither.
Paul Deschanel and Theophlle
Delcasse both having refused to form
a ministry. President Poincare today
called on Jean Dupuy, a former premier,
and Senator Paul L. Peytral to take
the portfolio of the Premier. These
men also declined and finally, after
consultations with Ktienne Clementel,
a former Cabinet minister, and Gaston
Doumergue, head of the government
which resigned last week, M. Poincare
invited Felix Ribot, the veteran Senator
who ran against Poincare for presi
dent, to undertake the task. M. Ribot
promised to give his answer tomorrow.
Political followers greatly doubt
whether a Ribot government would
survive long. Ribot's republicanism Is
of the conservative kind and likely to
arouse the hostility of the Radicals.
MEXICAN CRISIS IS ACUTE
(Continued From Flrt Pag-e.)
Panuco River about 5 A. M. tomorrow.
Tacoma and Sacramento following' in
observation."
When this report reached Washing
ton it was communicated to the Presi
dent, Secretary Daniels and Secretary
Bryan. Secretary Daniels hastened
from church to his office, but denied
himself to interviewers. Neither would
Secretary Bryan make a statement, nor
was there official information obtain
able at the White House. The President
talked over the telephone with Cabi
net officials, and received messages
from the delegates to the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls. These
were believed to have a bearing on the
Impending delicate situation at Tam
pico. Three possibilities were discussed in
official quarters tonight as likely to
arise In view of the problem that Gen
eral Huerta's decisive aatlon has pre
sented. Should the American Govern
ment direct that the order to Admiral
Badger be construed as to Include de
livery of contraband of war,. Admiral
Mayo at Tampico would be compelled
to open fire on Huerta's gunboats if
necessary to prevent Interference with
the Antilla.
Actual War Threatened.
If this were considered an overt act
of war and a violation of the agreement
to cease hostilities, It probably would
automatically end the conference at
Niagara Falls. In the opinion of many,
this would mean the beginning of ac
tual war against the Huerta govern
ment and signal the advance of an
American army from Vera Crus toward
Mexico City.
Another possibility, However, sug
gested in official quarters is that this
Government may bring influence to
bear on the owners of the Antilla to
make no attempt to deliver her cargo
of ammunition pending the outcome of
mediation at Niagara Falls and the ef
forts to Induce General Carranza to
participate In the peace conference.
As to General Carranza's expected
answer to the proposal from the South
American mediators, the constitutional
ists' chief advisers In Washington said
that it might not be forwarded before
Tuesday, Inasmuch as the General did
not leave Paredon for Saltillo until to
night. Should the Antilla change her
course or return to an American port
danger of an Immediate clash would be
averted. -
Fore at Tampico Adequate.
A third probability Is that Admiral
Badger's ships would not Interfere with
General Huerta's purpose to blockade
the Port of Tampico against importa
tion of ammunition, but that they would
insist on keeping the port open to or
dinary commerce.
As far as could be learned no orders
were sent to Admiral Badger to send
any war. vessels to Tampico except the
two following Huerta's ships liienly
American ships now at Tampico are the
battleship Minnesota, outside the Pan
uco River, and the monitor Osark. in
the river. These ,vessels, however,
would be more than adequate to cope
with any situation that might arise in
view of the proposed blockade.
CCVBOATS PASS VERA ORUZ
Minor Annoyances by Pranki&n Mex
ican Soldiers Continue.
VERA CRUZ. June 7. The gunboats
Zaragosa and Bravo passed here early
today bound north, followed by Amer
ican warships which have orders to
keep them under watch. If the Amer
ican ships have Instructions to pre
vent interference with the Antilla,
General Funston has no knowldage of
them.
Minor annoyances attributed ' to
Mexican outposts continue. The tele
phone line connecting Vera Cruz and
the Tejar garrison was short-circuited
Friday night, apparently in a spirit of
mischief. The Signal Corps operators
reported last night that some one was
tapping the line to Tejar. The line is
wholly within the American sphere,
although not guarded throughout its
length of nine miles. The authorities
view these acts as the pranks of Irre
sponsible soldiers.
Several parties of mounted men were
seen today by the American northern
outpost. One squad of eight men gal
loped to within 200 yards of the Amer
ican pickets
Mayo Shirts His Flag.
WASHINGTON, June 7. R ear-Admiral
Badger cabled the Navy Depart
ment tonight that Rear-Admiral Mayo
had shifted his flag to the battleship
Minnesota, which is stationed Just out
side the Panuco River at Tampico.
It was assumed that the Admiral de
sired to be on hand for the arrival of
the Huerta gunboats due at the mouth
of the river tomorrow morning to at
tempt a blockade of the port.
REPLY MADE TO WHITE
OSTEOPATHS ISSUB STATEMENT IN
VAST BRAKLE CONTROVERSY.
Association Officials Protest State
Board Has IV o Right to Ignore Clack
trail Osteopathia Health Olrleer.
At a meeting of officers of the Ore
gon Osteopathic Association yesterday
afternoon, convened in preparation for
the annual meeting this week, they
took under consideration the state
ment of Dr. Calvin S. White with ref
erence to Dr. J. A. van Brakle, County
Health Officer of Clackamas County,
who is an osteopathia physician.
Dr. D. D. Voune, of McMlnnvllle,
president; Dr.- F. E. Moore and Dr. L.
H. Howland. of Portland, with Dr. B.
H. White, of Salem, as 'trustees, made
a statement. It follows in part:
"Referring to the statement of Dr.
White where he Intimates that Dr.
van Brakle is not qualified to act and
where he quotes the opinion of the Attorney-General
that an osteopathic
physician cannet hold legally the po
sition of county health officer, it will
be found that this opinion Is based
upon an old. antiquated case which was
later reversed..
"We shall urge that Dr. van Brakle
Insist that all physicians in Clackamas
County observe the law In the usual
manner and protest that the State
Board of Health has no right arbi
trarily to override the law In instruct
ing the Oregon City physicians to ig
nore Dr. van Brakle as health officer
and to report direct to the State Board
of Health.
"Dr. M. C. Strickland's statement, as
quoted, that this Is 'none of the pub
lio's business,' is the -old 'public be
damned' policy, which will no longer
be tolerated. The local papers at
Oregon City have simply reflected pub
lic opinion in consistently holding to
the contention that Dr. van Brakle Is
the best health officer Clackamas
County has ever had appointed."

PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD
Some people have a tendency to be
come thin-blooded Just as others have
an inherited tendency to rheumatism,
or to nervous disorders. The condition
in which the blood becomes so thin that
the whole body suffers comes on so
gradually and stealthily that anyone
with a natural disposition in that direc
tion should watch the symptoms care
fully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the
medical term Is, can be corrected much
more easily in the earlier stages than
later. It begins with a tired feeling
that rest does not overcome, the com
plexion becomes pale, and breathless
ness on slight exertion, such as going
up stairs, is noticed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home
remedy that has been most successful
in the treatment of diseases caused by
thin blood. With pure air and whole
some food these blood - making pills
afford the correct treatment when the
symptoms described are noticed. A
former sufferer from anaemia says: "I
was emaciated and did net have a par
ticle of color. I had severe headaches,
had no ambition and could lust drag
around. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
quickly restored appetite, flesh and
health. A full statement of this case
with directions regarding diet will be
found in the booklet. "Building Up the
Blood." sent free by the Dr. Williams
