MARINES MA Y LAND Order Is Issued to United States Admiral in Mexico Revolutionists Make Numerous Threats . The Situation Is Tense Washington, Nov. 22 The atten tion of the Administration tonight is focused on Tuxpam, Mexico, and not in Mexico City. A condition more serious than any that has existed in Mexico since the "blow-up" in February last exists in that vicinity. The condition is: Tuxpam, the center of the largest oil field in the world, , is about to.be attacked by revolutionists. In the town are several hundred foreigners In the back country are several hun dred more. ' In Tuxpam there is stored in giant metal tanks millions of gallons of crude oil. The leader of the revolu tionary force marching on the city has issued a warning to every for eigner to leave the district. He stated the city would be attacked and the oil in the tanks let out and fired. This warning was issued several days ago. Immediately Admiral Fletcher commanding the American warships on the East coast, of Mexico, transmitted it to Washington. The American Gov ernment communicated with the leader of the Revolutionists, Gen. Carranza, and with Gen. Huerta stating that the town of Tuxpam must not be attacked. According to despatches received at the State and Navy Department today, the Rebel leader was closing in on the town and it was believed he wouldat tack the place tonight or tomorrow t MEMBERS OF NORTH CAROLINA PINE ASSOCIATION IN ANNUAL SESSION. ' Norfolk, Nov. 22 The North Caro lina Pine Association, composed of the lumber manufacturers of the North Carolina territory in Virginia and the Carolinas, met yesterday with a good attendance. President Horton Corwin, Jr., of Edenton, N. C, presided, having arrived from Washington, D. C. where he attended the national Con servation Congress. The discussion at the meeting showed that the close of the fall busi ness is bringing orders in a somewhat larger propostion than during the sum mer and the early fall. The mills which curtailed their . outputs for some months are now practically all opera ting on full time. Some of the manufac turers reported hardly normal stocks, but the full time operations now on will soon bring the stock up. The lumbe' prices are about as they have been for some time with but slight varitions one way or the other. The manufacturers are hoping for in creased business with the opening of spring, but are not making any calcu lations along this line, Themeeting was held at the Mon ticello Hotel. : There was a morning and afternoon ' session, with lunch at noon. ; Z. W. Whitehead made a report on the : National Conservation Congress, which he attended. DR.GASTQri G.BELL miiENi PROMINENT PHYSICIAN SUC - CUMBS AFTER A LINGERING " ILLNESS.

Admiral Fletcher, at Vera Cruz, has received instructions from the Presi dent to prevent the attack on Tuxpam at all costs, landing marines if nec essary. Rear Admiral Clifford J. Boush, commanding the warships at Tuxpam and TampiCe, according to de spatches received at the Navy Depart ment tonight, has been ordered by Admiral Fletcher to land marines and bluejackets if necessary to prevent the revlutionists attacking the town. The orders 'to Admiral Fletcher were repeated today when the State Depart ment received through Ambassador Page at London a request from Lord Cowdray, the head of the British oil syndicate at Tuxpam, for protection of his employees and his property at Tuxpam. The leader of the Revolutionists marching on Tuxpam has stated, ac cording to reports here, that he would "run out every gallon of British-owned oil tanked in Tuxpam" and set fire to it As the town is well back from the bay of the same name it was the be lief of naval officers here that it could not be protected by the guns of the warships in the harbor and that if the place was attacked marines would have to be landed.

Hurley from New Bern as the pastor of one of her leading churches. Since his pastorate here there ,has been a frequent exchange of pulpits between the various minis ters of the city which we think a beau tiful and delightful custom.

Mr. Hurley, of Centenary Methodist church, which no doubt be an agreeable and pleasant thing to both congregations.)-,.. . . . ; . i NOT A "DEVIL" CAME OUT AFTER 12-HOUR FAST. ...

S001 AT MOREHEAD CITY APROPRIATIONS MADE FOR PERMANENT SURVEY NOW IN PROGRESS After a delay of more than twelve months a preliminary survey has been ordered by the Government and engin errs are now at work on the proposed turning basin just opposite the town of Morehead City. This week's issue of the Morehead City Coaster has the following to say relative to this work: "The project of making a 'turning basin' in front of Morehead City was acted upon some twelve months ago and immediate steps, on the part of our citizens, were at that time taken for its establishment, but for some reason an unfavorable report was made by Major Stickles. No being satisfied with this result the Chamber of Com merce took it upon themselves to make another attempt and two delegates were at that time sent to Washington to confer with Senator Simmons, who had the plan reconsidered which resul ted in an appropriation of a permanent survey. "A summary of the work to be done in order that a first class 'turning basin.' would be established is as follows: "Beginning opposite the Atlantic Hotel pier and extending 200 feet out, the harbor is to be cut to a depth of 14 feet extending along the water front to .12th street. This will take the deep water as far out as the marsh island in front of the town and at the west end of this marsh a circular course will be taken forming the basin. Extending from 81I1 street to 11th street this basin will be of large pro portions in order that a large Meet of boats may inhabit this water at the same time. The sand, taken up in deepening this basin, will bo thrown between it and the main channel making a continuation of tin- island of the old marsh extend to beyond 12th street. At this point a tangent of 100 feet width will go oil into the main channel making it possible for vessels arriving from and going to the west free access to this harbor without having to go around. "This is considered one of the most valuable improvements ever contempla ted for the benefit of our great tithing industry that has ever been undertaken and in years to come will no doubt prove to be a valuable asset to More head City's commercial life as well as a large improvement over the pres ent condition of our harbor facilities."' T CALLED FDR HELP 'THERE'S FOUL PLAY GOING ON" TELEPHONED SUBUR BAN RESIDENT. Shortly after 7 o'clock last evening Mayor Bangert received a telephone message from a gentleman residing in that section, that a woman had been heard screaming for help out near the Oaks Manufacturing Company's plant and the West Box Manufacturing Company's plant. The gentleman re quested that the Mayor send an officer out to investigate. That section is outside of the city limits and.the police have no jurisdiction there. However, Mayor Bangert notified Sheriff R. B. Lane of the affair and Jailer S. J. Bayliss and two deputies were dispatched to the scene. These gentlemen made a thorough search of that locality but failed to find any trace of the. woman supposed to have" screamedfor help. It is the general supposition that the supposed screams were in reality the ribald songs of some intoxicated pe destrian who was letting off pent up energy through his vocal organs. The girl who persists in doing more than her share of the courting is apt to break into the spinster class. "A woman seems to think she is a dutiful wife if she pretends to keep on loving her husband after she knows she doesn't. !. , A..T. Willis left last evening for a business visit . at Oriental.' . A-, r.: T URNIi BASIN THOUGH WOMAN ENDS LIFE WITH STRANG POISONS Retired Physician Dies At Home In Connecticut After Taking Hypodermic Injection. - VICTIM LEFT THREE NOTES However, Neither Missive Ex plained Motive For Act. New London, Conn., Nov. 22. Dr. Horace H. Tinker, a wealthy resident of the Pequot Colony, died this morning about 11 o'clock after having injected poisonous drugs into his body with hy podermic syringes, twenty-four hous previously. The reason for suicide is not known, but it is believed he was depressed from the ill-health of his wife, and brooding over her condition he sought relief in death. The exact poison Dr. Tinker took is not known, having been a composition of alkaloids of a powerful nature. Dr. Harry M. I.ee, the medical exam iner, says several drugs were probably used. Dr. Tinker was about fifty-eight years of age. He is survived by his wife. Three notes were left by the physician showing that he had planned self-destruction. One was left for his chauf feur, one for Mrs. Tinker and the third to Mrs. George S. Morgan, wife of Dr. George S. Morgan, a well known homeo pathic physician of this city. The Mor gan and Tinker families have been close friends since Dr. Tinker came to the Pequot Colony five years ago from New York, where he had a large family prac tice, and was well known in medical circles. Dr. Tinker did not explain in his notes why he committeed suicide, but asked the chauffeur and Mrs. Morgan to ar range lor the inquest, Itinera I lml other matters after his death. Mrs. Tinker is at present at the home of her brother, John t'.lallin, Xo. 15, Washington Square North, New York C ity. She has been notified of her hus band's s'tiriile ami i-. expected to conn to New London probably tonight or to morrow.

From acquaint i tu es of the phy-irinn it was learned today thai for sonn; tune he hid shown a mel.i neb, lv 1011 dition, and the depression w.is most noticeable of late. To his Iriemls the physician made no reference to his de pressed condition, nor as to he cause of his melancholy. Mrs. Tinker's health has in en im paired some lime, and abo-il two months ago she went to the h mk- ot her brother, it is reported, where she intended to remain indefinitely in the hope of being benefited by treatment. The suicide of Dr. 'Tinker was inves tigated this afternoon by Coroner Franklin II. Brown, who wis notified by Medical Examiner Lee following the father's investigation. An autopsy to determine the nature of the poisons used by the physician to end his life will be performed. Richard E.
