Washington. May 9 (U. P.) Seven
thousand fresh troops, 4000 militia
. and 3000 regulars, were ordered to

which it is believed made this step
- necessary were the demand of General
Alvaro Obreicon that a time limit be
placed on the American expedition's

cabinet to accept this and Ambassador
Arredondo's charge that more raids

Klneered from the American side

that the militia of New Mexico, Ari

Obregon Denies Danger of War.
El Paso, Texas, May 8. (I. X. S.)
ueneral Alvaro Obregon, Mexican min
ister of war, here today, denied widely
circulated reports that there was a
strong probability of war between the
United States and Mexico.
"Stories of Impending war," he said,
"are utterly false. It aeems useless,
however, to deny them. Certain inter
ests find it to their advantage to main
tain alarming reports, but fortunately
they are untrue."
President Wilson's order calling out
the militia of Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico apparently caused much satis
faction jn Juarez. General Obregon
and the members of his staff professed
to be delighted.
"If the militia." said a member of
Obregons staff, "had been called out
six months ago, the Columbus and
Boquillas incidents would not have
occurred."
Major Carpie, General Obregons
aide, says General Obregon and Gen
eral Scott will meet for a conference
this afternoon in General Scott's pri
vate car.
En Route to Capital
To Prefer Charges
San Francisco, May 9. (P. -N. S.)
Judre Wilder, former supreme Justice
of Hawaii, arrived today on the liner
Mattsonla from Honolulu, on his way
to Washington, he said, to prefer
charges against Governor Lucius E.
Pinkham of Hawaii. Judge Wilder,
who went to Washington in connection
with this matter six months ago. said
he would see Secretary of the Interior
Lane and President Wilson.
He accuses Pinkham of misappro
priating funds and says grand Jury
action on similar charges has been
halted for lack of funds.
Last year a law was passed appro
priating 110,000 annually for the care
of indigent foreigners. Wilder says
Pinkham gave this, in part, to Filipino
members of the national guard who
were not indigent.
He also declares Pinkham is dila
tory, his lack of decision hampering
business interests.

STEAMER IS DAMAGED
WHEN BRIDGE DRAW
!T IT
River Boat Grahamona in Col
lision; Span Is Temporarily
Disabled Last Night,
The Morrison street bridged raw is
out of commission for a time add the
steamer Grahamona badly damaged as
a result of a collision between th
draw and boat last night. It is ex
pected to have the bridge open for
traffic- as ugnal before the rush boar
tonight.
Broken by the severe Impact,
3 7-16 inch shaft snapped in two and
dropped into the river a worm gear
with which the draw is locked in place
when closed. A spare gear wai on
hand, and it Is expected that a new
shaft can be made and Installed by
nlghtfair.
Meanwhile all traffic, other thmi
pedestrians, has been suspended over
the bridge. Street cars are running up
to either side of the draw and drop
ping their passengers.
Bo One on Board Injured.
Only by a marvelous piece of good
luck were there no Injuries as a result
of last night's accident. Not one of the
crew Of 25 on the Grahamona was
on the starboard side of the craft
when she started through the draw.
Had any one been on that side, it is
deemed certain they would have been
severely crushed, if not killed.
The Grahamona whistled for the
bridge at 9 o'clock last night. The
draw was opened towards the vessel,
the west end of the span being up
stream. The night was gusty. and the
current swift, and Captain E. P. Will
lams on the steamer started the craft
through under a good head in order
to secure steerage way against the
freakish . air currents.
The wind also has Its effect on the
draw. As the big 80 ton span neared
the wide open position where it la
usually stopped. Operator hig Berven
noticed that it was not stopping .prop
erly. Captain Williams noticed it also
and ordered full speed ahead and
xwung his helm first hard to star
board and then hard aport. Had he at
tempted to stop, eye witnesses assert,
the vessel would hava been raked from
stem to stern and would have today
been only a pile of Junk,
The swinging draw caught the vm
el just aft the beginning of the
cabins. It 'aked as clean as a knife
from that point almost to her stern
U smashed cabins, stanchions, deck
ing, lifeboats and railing on the star
board side like so much paper. The
side of the pilot house was torn out
alongside or Captain Williams, so
close was he to injury. The cut varied
In width from a foot to three feet.
Swinging free of the draw Captain
William put the steamer Into Wash
ington street dock and after deter
mining that no damage had been done
below the water line went on to North
Bank dock where 130 tons of flour
were put off. The steamer Pomona
was sent out in place of the Gra
hamona this morning. It Is estimated
that the damage to the Grahamona
will amount to nearly 14000.
