might mean war with Germany be-
gan pouring in on Senators Sherman
and Lewis of Illinois late last night

Although signed by individuals in
Illinois the telegrams followed pre- I
pared forms and wore prepaid. 1
There was nothing in them to indi-1
cate who had prepared the forms
for the signatures and paid the tele-
graph companies.
Every available operator of both
companies w orked all night and was.
working today receiving the mes-
sages which were being delivered to '
the Senators in packages of 100. The
two senators will decide later wheth-
er they will present the messages to
the Senate.
During the day. telegrams of the
same sort began coming in to Sena-
tors Cummins and Kenyon from
lowa and to Senators Lafollette and
Hustings from Wisconsin. Senators
cere amazed at the extent of the
propaganda.
Senator Stone of Missouri also re- '
cejved many telegrams of the same
nature.

It is believed that the soldier be-
came demented in the Parral fiwLt

OBREGON \T POTOSI.
Mexican General En Route io Juarez
for Conference With Scott.
EL PASO. Tex.. April 25.—Gen-
eral Obregon minister of war for
the de facto government departed
from San Luis Potosi today for Jua-
rez for his conference with Major
General Hugh L. Scott on the mili-
tary questions that are now pending
between the United States and Mexi-
co. A dispatch was received today
by General Gavira. commander of
the Juarez garrison from General
Obregon which stated that h fi "had
f *nrted on his Journey and hopej to
see him soon."
Genera] • »bregon did not state in
his message when he expected to
reach Juarez. San Luis Potosi is
about 300 miles by jail north of
Mexico <’ity. General Obregon may
go to Monterey and thence to La-
redo. Tex. where he could Journey
on the American railways via San
Antonio to this city or he may come
to Juarez by way of the Mexican rail-
ways via Torre.-n and Chihuahua.
May Meet Elsewhere
ials of the de facto govern-
ment in Juarez and El Paso indi-
ated today that they might urge
General < »bregon and General Scott
to bold their conference in some
other city than El Paso.

< tbregon. it was learned in Mexican
official circles here today will de-
scribe his plans for policing the
northern Mexican country in detail
with the horn* that they will prove
prrcptable to General S' ott. Should
the plans be deemed adequate by
General Scott the de facto govern-
ment will renew its request to the
American government that its troops
be withdrawn from Mexico.
S<*ott’* Original Order.
General Scott's original order to
General Funston reerarding the Villa
pursuit set forth that the troop*
were to continue th lr quest Into
Mexico until the Villa bands were
destroyed or broken up or until
su<-h time ns the do facto govern-
ment was in a p >s!tion to control the
activities of the bandits.
Andreas Garcia. Mexican consul
has not been informed when General
Obregon will reach Juarez. Mr.
Garcia thought the conference
might last several days as it was
understood details of the proposed
protocol relative to the dispatching
of armed forces of cither govern-
ment into the other to run down
marauding outlaws would also be
carefully dißcusaed.
That several weeks at least will
elnpse before the troops are with-
drawn from Mexico appears evident
from the amount of food and forage
sent south from the Columbus base.
Supplies sufficient to last the entire
expedition from 30 to 35 days are
at the front. G^n^ra’ Pershing also
has received sufficient clothing and
shoes to re-outfit completely the
men who suffered so badly in the
hard drive to Parral.

Half-holiday Is Asked.
A committee from the Fiesta as-
sociation composed of Atlee B.
Ayres. Charles Graebner Emil Frank
and Harry L. Miller was appointed
at the Tuesday 11 .o’clock meeting of
the Fiesta directors to call on the
I city and county commissioners and
I ask them to issue a proclamation
i calling for a half-holiday Friday aft-
ernobn —the day of the Battle of
i Flowers and storming of the Alamo.
It Is expected that both Mayor Brown
'and County Judge Davis will issue
the proclamation.
The directorate Tuesday also or-
dered a change in the time when the
luncheon to be tendered Governor
James E. Ferguson and hie staff will
be given. This was first set for
12:30 Friday at the Gunter but It
is believed noon would be a better
hour as it allows more time for the
function to be hold and affords op-
portunity for those participating in
the Rattle of Flowers parade to get
themselves In readiness. The gov-
ernor is due to arrive some time |
Thursday when he will be met by a
■perial committee and escorted to
his apartments at the Gunler. where
he will witness the civic and trades
display parade.
Showing the extent of this civic pa-
rade. 40 new entries were recorded
Tuesday morning. These with oth- j
ers yet to come in. are expected to :
gir o a display more than three miles
in length. In this connection it is
announced that the 100 prizes of- :
fered by the Manufacturers' club for
the best displays are to be distributed
only to members of the organiza-
tion who participate.

An added attraction of the week
will open Wednesday morning at 117
Main avenue when the annual dog '
show of the San Antonio Kennel I
club gets under way. Dogs from ell I
parts of the country are arriving and I
the quarters are being fitted up to I
accommodate several hundred. Dr.
J. E. DeMund of New York n noted j

Another event for Wednesday ts j
the Illuminated auto parade to be [
given in the evening by manufae- I
turers and dealers of San Antonio
and of this territory. Possibly 100
autos each brand-new and spick
and span carrying electrical effects i
and decorations will pass over the |
official route. The electrical decor- j
ations for these machines will cost I
more than $5000. The Automobile
Dealers' Association of San Antonio ■
Is sponsor for this parade it being I
the intention of the members to put I
on on event that will be talked about
for months.
With the carnival in full swing I
and more than 100 per cent larger
attendance already directors of the i
Fiesta association feel sanguine I
that this year's festival will set a |
new mark In the history of spring j
carnivals here. The fact that each
day carries its own Individual pa-
geant and amusements and that no |
duplication occurs anywhere is cited j
by them as demonstrating that the i
Fiesta is second tn nothing in the
state ns an attraction for visitors.

Members of that secret but signifi-
cant organisation termed the “S. <>.

the array of entries for the burlesque
parade the society Is to give Satur-
day night. No hint of those has
boon allowed to escape and even the
significance of the letters “S. O. S.
