El Paso, Tex., April 7.—A wide-
spread revolutionary plot, fostered by
agents in the United States to over-
throw then present government in
Mexico, is being investigated by the
grand jury in session here, it became
known today. Three alleged partici-
pants in the plot are in jail in this
country, while a forth was arrested by
Mexican federal authorities at Mexi-
cili, Lower California, while attempt-
ing to smuggle munitions of war to
the revolutionists.
The plot became known when Unit-
ed States army authorities in the
Big Bend district arrested two Mexi-
cans when the pair attempted to cross
from this country into Mexico. Mili-
tary authorities seized from the pair
much correspondence from Villa. 1
Federal authorities here said the
correspondence revealed a plot of Vil-
listas and other revolutionists to cross
into Lower California, seize that state
with the large quantities of arms and
amunition available there and then at-
tack the state of Sonora and Finoloa,
Mexico, while at the same time Villa
was to aggresively open a revolution-
ary campaign in Chiahuahua.

News “2
Berlin, April 7.—A private tele-
phone message reaching Berlin late
today reports a serious clash between
colored French troops and crowds of
civilizans in front of the main post-
office in Frankfort.
The troops are said to have been
annoyed by the crowd, which con-
tineously jeered at them, whereupon
they opened fire killing seven persons
and wounding many others, includ-
ing women and children.
The message said the feeling of re-
sentment among the civilian popula-
tion was visibly increasing as a result
of the incident.
Many rumors are current in Berlin
that the United States is addressing a
note to France demanding the with-
drawal of the French forces from
Frankfort.

Little Reck, Ark., April 7.—
The Missouri Pacific passenger
station, the largest railway ter-
minal in the state, was destroyed
by fire here tonight. The fire is
believed to have been caused by
defective electric wiring. The
station is practically a total loss,
for the fire had gained such a
headway by the time fire ap-
paratus srrived that there was no
hope of saving the building. Only
the walls were left standing, sad
all baggage and equipment were
destroyed.
The station was completed in
1909 at a coat of $750,000. The
Wilson Witholds Opinion.
Washington, April 7—President
Wilson is witholding bis opinion as to
the French advance into the netural
territory east of the Rhine until he
has received more information. Ad-
ministration officials said today the
question was one of facts between
France and Germany.
tsration Mr. Davidson was loud in
his praise of what had been aceom-
plished since Woodrow Wilson took
his seat as President of the United
States. “Many of us do not agree to
some of the minor incidents that have
occured", said Mr. Davidson, “but as
a whole more good legislation has
been accomplished and more real good
has been done for the United States
since Wilson became President than
during any other Administration
since George Washington. Harmony
existed in this Country and every
thing was running smooth until par-
tisian politice were put into play by
Root and Johnson, Republicans. It

Strike at Buffalo.
•' Buffalo, N. Y, April 7.—An embar-

ed late tonight after a conference of
officials of the seven railroads whose
sards were tied up today by a strike

the city will be continued and passen-
ger service will be maintained as far
s possible, it was said after ths
meeting.
Kansas City, April 7.—Three hun-
dred switchmen, representing every
railroad that enters Kansas’City, this
evening met and voted unanimously to
strike at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning,
it was announced late tonight. Com-
‘mittees were named to notify the re-
taining members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Switchmen, numbering 4,-
0M, of the decision to strike.
• No officers of the brotherhood were
present.
Another meeting was called for 9

members who attended the meeting
tonight said the question of withdraw-

There was considerable heat in the
arguments before the board, especial-

said flatly that the Texas growers and

position which might make eradica-

Texans reported with the assertion
that the board “couldn’t get anywhere

whole state could not be maintained.

pointing to the fact that none of them
have yet received instructions con-
cerning the attitude of their respec-
tive governments on the situation.
Attitude of Expectancy.
The -attitude of the government of-
ficials, however, is one of expectancy,
and there is even some anxiety re-
garding the probable course to be ad-
opted by the allied governments.
Great interest is displayed in the
meeting of the British cabinet tomor-
row, and there is much speculation as
to Washington’s official expression.
Banking, financial and business cir-
cles are more outspoken, the opinion
being freely expressed that interven-
tion was untimely and detrimental to
French interest.
At the stock exchange today the
belief was expressed that the French
government fell into a trap cleverly
laid by the German government to
separate France from her allies by
asking for individual French authori-
sation to enter the Rhur district, and
putting it up to France alone to re-
fuse Germany permission to take mili-
tary measures.
