ABOUT FLETCHER
Career of the Rear Admiral Whc
Took Vera Cruz.
YEARNED FOR SEA WHEN BOY
Forced to Remain at an Executive
Desk During the Spanish War, He
Became an Expert on
Ordnance.
Chicago.?While Admiral Fletcher,
who captured the city of Vera Cruz
Tuesday, has never resided in Chi
cago, he has been! a frequent visitor
here at the home of his brother, Thom
as J. Fletcher. 5237 Cornell avenue.
The latter is treasurer of the Co-op
erative League of Chicago. J. Fletch
er, a son of the Chicago Fletcher, is a
lieutenant on Admiral Fletcher's flag
Bhlp.
"We F'etchers do not come of a sea
faring breed," said the civilian Fletch
er at his home. "On the contrary, we
are Iowa men and we should by all
rights have lived and died landlub
bers. My brother is an admiral now
because our representative in con
gress in Marshalltown, Iowa, decided
he would fill a vacancy at Annapolis
by holding a competitive examination.
"'Tom,' said my brother when he
saw tne notice or me euuuuauuu,
'I'm going to be a sailor. That's the
life for me. I never thought of it be
fore, but I see now that I was meant
to be a hero of the deep.'"
Leads in Examination.
He entered the examination, just as
he said he would, and took first place
over 25 other boys. That was in 1870
and he has been in the navy service
since.
According to the Chicago Fletcher,
it was one of the bitterest disappoint
ments of the admiral's career when
he was compelled to remain at an exec
utive desk in Washington during the
Spanish war. But the admiral, as the
result of that experience, became an
expert on ordnance.
"Secretary Long promised him that
if he would remain as assistant chief
of the ordnance department until he
could get things in order, he could
have anything he wished. But be
fore his work was done there the war
was over. You see, the country was
totally unprepared for war and the
ordnance department was placed un
der a terrific strain."
Invents Recoil Apparatus.
Admiral Fletcher had been in the
service but a short time when he in
vented a recoil apparatus for quick
brers, which has been in use ever
since. He also improved the Farcot
breech mechanism, thereby insuring
the success of the system. Whereas
to open the breech of the big guns it
had been necessary before to depend
upon power from the engine-room,
the admiral's improvement made it
possible to move the huge blocks
with one hand. As commander
of the torpedo boat Cushing the ad
miral. then Lieutenant Commander
Fletcher, conducted an Investigation
of the behavior of torpo^oes and dis
covered many errors in range and in
almost every instance the correctness
of his deductions was proved. He is
regarded as one of the first ordnance
experts of the navy.
Born in Oskaloosa.
"Admiral Fletcher," said his kins
man in Chicago, "was born in Oska
loosa, Nov. 23, 1855. He was only
fifteen years old when he took the
examination and entered Annapolis.
"My brother was graduated In June,
1875, one of the honor men of his
class. He served as a midshipman foi
one year and then was promoted tc
the rank of an ensign. On April 1
1882, he became a junior lieutenant

AMERICAN CRUISER, THI
its class in the American navy, took pai
and at the outbreak of the Spanish
war was a lieutenant and had at
tracted attention by his knowledge of
ordnance.
"After the war he was relieved of
desk work at Washington and ordered
to sea. In March, 1904, he was pro
moted to the rank of commander after
having served as commanding officer
, of the gunboats Kanawaha and Eagle.
Soon after this promotion he was
made inspector of ordnance In charge
of the torpedo station at Newport,
where he served until March 15, 1905.
"When he again went to sea 'ft was
as chief of staff of the Asiatic fleet,
which position he gave up to take
, command of the cruiser Raleigh. After
txv/i mora roaro at ho won nrflprfid
to the naval war college at Newport,
and later he became a member of the
special ordnance board.
"In 1908 he was made a captain and
' given command of the battleship Ver
mont. After leaving the Vermont he
became an aid on the staff of Secre
tary of the Navy George von L. Meyer.
It was during this service in October,
1911, that he achieved flag rank."
May Succeed Badger.
Admiral Fletcher Is regarded as a
probable successor of Rear Admiral
Badger as commander in chief of the
At.lant.lft fleet, a nromotion that will
carry with it the honor of command
ing the great United States fleet that
will be the first to pass through the
Panama canal when the waterway is
opened to the ships of the world in
1915.
It was immediately following the
assassination of President Madero
that Admiral Fletcher was ordered to
k Mexican waters.
Enters Harbor in "Norther."
It will be recalled that Admiral
Fletcher in his first cablegram record
ing the seizing of the custom-house at
Vera Cruz said that he commenced
operations in the face of an approach
ing "norther."
The following extract from a navy
text-book on navigation may explain
why Admiral Fletcher acted without
undue delay in carrying out President
Wilson's orders:
"To attempt to run into the harbor
(Vera Cruz) in a 'norther' is extreme
! ly perilous, for it blows more power
i fully within than without the shoals.
; No confidence can be placed in an
\ chors and no assistance can be given
j from the shore in case of accident."
Admiral Fletcher when not at sea
resides at 1441 Massachusetts avenue
| Washington. He married Miss Susan
! Hunt Stetson in 1895. He is a mem
ber of the Chev^ Chase and the Army
and Navy clubs in Washington.
How Seizure Order Was Given.
Washington.?The story of how
| President Wilson ordered the custom
| house at Vera Cruz to be seized has
i been revealed.
The president had gone to bed Mon
j day night after having read his mes- I
| sage to congress. The senate was de-;
| bating the joint resolution to approve
I the use of the army and navy, and the
president had determined to withhold
action until the resolution passed, al
though feeling that in an emergency
the executive had ample authority to
act.
At 4 o'clock Tuesday morning Sec
retary Bryan received a cablegram
from Consul Canada telling of the ap
proach of a German vessel with a
tremendous cargo of ammunition for j
Huerta.
A number of locomotives and many |
cars were in readiness to rush the
arms to Mexico City.
Mr. Bryan telephoned Secretary Tu
multy. who decided to awaken the i
! president. He telephoned the White 1
House. The servants were timid, but !
Tumulty insisted. Finally the presi-1
dent came to the telephone, and while I
Secretary Tumulty was explaining the !
situation Secretary Daniels called up j
i and was put on the bp me line.
He, too, had a dispatch about the j
, ammunition. Rear Admiral Fletcher
i had sent a wireless that 15,000,000 j
rounds of ammunition and 2">0 ma- j
> chine guns wou!d be landed from the !
, German vessel by noon that day.
The president listened in silence. '

i seven on the Pacific. They include
t nine battleships, five cruisers, three

ports, one supply ship, one hospital

"What shall we do?" asked Secre
tary Daniels.
"Tell Fletcher to seize the custom
house," replied the president without
hesitation.
"Good night," said the secretary.
The telephone conference ended'and
in a fe\tf mjnutes wireless dispatches
were on -their way to Rear Admiral
Fletcher. He received the message at
10 a. m., and an hour later American
marines had landed and taken posses
sion of the custom house.
No War Tax for Six Months.
Washington. ? The government's
finances are considered to be in ex
cellent condition. The treasury offi
cials informed the house leaders that
there will be no occasion for six
months, at least, to worry about rais
ing a war revenue.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee said:
"No plans are being considered for
raising a war fund. I have consulted
with the secretary of war and the sec
retary of the navy and they both as
sure me that the current appropria
tions for the army and navy will be
sufficient for the present needs. Sec
retary Daniels told me that it would
cost no more to maintain the navy
and the marine corps in Mexican wa
ters than in the waters of the United
States.
"If we are forced into a prolonged
war with Mexico, which I do not be
lieve will happen, we can easily ar
range to raise the revenue necessary
to finance It by the same measures as
were taken during the Spanlsh-Amer
Ican war. The extraordinary taxes
then imposed increased the revenues
of the government approximately
$100,000,000 a year, and the same
taxes applied today would yield even
a larger return."
There was talk of a new issue of
$200,000,000 of bonds out of the au
thorized issue of $240,000,000 Panama
canal bonds, which are still In the
treasury, but Secretary McAdoo au
thorized the statement that no such
action was planned. The bonds are
available at any time and can be is
sued at the pleasure of the president,
without any further action by con
gress.
It was pointed out that President
Wilson has authority under a section
of the Payne-Aldrich act of 1909,
which has not been repealed by the
Underwood tariff act, to raise $450,
000,000 from bond Issues, if necessary,
to defray the expenses of war. Un
der section 39 of the Payne-Aldrich
act. the secretary of the treasury can
use $250,000,000 of the bonds "to re
coup the treasury for moneys used in
the building of the Panama canal,"
which have never been issued.
Wilson Could Raise $200,000,000.
Under section 40, also, the secre
tary can issue 3 per cent bonds up to
$200,000,000, it being specified that he
may take such action if he deems it
necessary. The section of the law per
mitting the secretary of the treasury
to raise *zuu,uuu,uvij ior emergencies,
reads as follows:
"That section 32 of the act providing
ways and means to meet war expendi
tures, approved June 31, 1898 (the so
called Spanish war stamp act), be and
the same is hereby amended to read
as follows:
"That the secretary of the treasury

STORY OF THE CAP1
Description of Battle That

Vera Cruz, April 25.?American sail
ors and marines have again proved
their valor in the face of a foreign foe,
and have, at the same time, given the
natives of this town a new idea of
ihe courtesy of American troops.
While the battle that resulted in the
taking of Vera Cruz was not a severe
one as battles of the past have been
counted it was of a character to test
the courage of men who were called
upon to face the steel-jacketed bullets
of foemen hidden behind walls and on
housetops, and before it was over 12
American sailor i had paid for the vic
tory with tbeir lives and another 30
were seriously wounded.
While the Mexicans suffered more
severely,, the number of their casual
Hem hnn not heen ascertained, but the |
beat estimates obtained by Capt. Wil
liam R. Rush of the battleship Florida
indicate that in the engagements of
Tuesday and Wednesday their dead
amounted to about 150. No person
knows how many Mexicans fell
wounded, as a large part of them were
taken away and hidden by friends.
Dead Lay In Streets.
In the streets about the plaza Thurs
day lay fifteen or twenty bodies, a
majority of them attired In citizens'
clothing. Some of the men evidently
bad been dead since me engagement,
of Tuesday, and the tropical heat
made their immediate disposal im
perative. One of the first orders given
after the town had been captured was
to bury the Mexican dead in a trench
at the sea end of the streets leading
from the plaza.
When the city was taken the order
was given to advance carefully and
search every building for men bearing
arms. Scores of prisoners were taken,
most of them protesting volubly, many
hysterically, that they were not guilty
of any unfriendliness whatsoever
toward the Americans.
Expected to Be Executed.
Accustomed as the Mexicans are to
thalr own contending forceB shooting |
Immediately all prisoners taken, the
captured men could not but believe
that they would receive no less dras
tic treatment at the hands of the
Americans.
The guns foutid In houses were
thrown by the marines and bluejack
ets from the upper balconies of the
houses to the pavement below.
The most spirited action of Wednes
day was the taking of the naval acad
emy. Aside from that fight there was
no definite organized opposition en
countered by the Americans.
Americans Under Hot Fire.
A hot fire was poured Into the ad
vancing Americans from the naval col
lege, which for a time held them back,
but a few well-directed shots from the
cruisers Chester, San Francisco and
Prairie tore gaping holes In the stone
wfells and silenced the rifle fire of the
Mexicans inside. The bluejackets
then were enabled to proceed with the
task they had in hand.
A squad of soldiers, despite the
shelling It had received Tuesday, con
tinued to give considerable trouble to
the Americans from the Benito Juarez
tower. After they had bteen silenced

It was not until late Tuesday that
| the last of General Maas' men on top

' from outside the city to evacuate their
I position. The order was obeyed by a
I portion of the 100 men who were oc

j belief that he would be summarily

None of the American women were
mistreated by the Mexicans during
their occupation of the building. A
few of the women assisted the Mexi

wall.
Captain Stickney ot the Prairie went
through the fortress several days ago
and found some heavy guns, five tor
pedoes and a torpedo tube in a corru
gated-iron shed outside the wall of
the fortress.. When the landing of the
Americans was ordered Captain Stick
ney sent word to the commandant of
San Juan de Ulua that he would blow
him to pieces with the Prairie's guns
if he opened fire against the Ameri
cans, but that otherwise he would not
be disturbed. The commandajit re
plied that he would answer with his
cannons if fired on, but that he would
not commence hostilities. When the

mandant hoisted a brilliant new Mex>
lean flag, which flew all day long.
Americans in Possession.
At ten o'clock Wednesday morning
the Americans were in undisputed
possession of^all the city except the
southwest quarter, in which the bar
racks are situated, and a few outlying
districts. At noon they had taken the
barracks. When the city prison,
which faces the main plaza of the
city, was captured. Lieutenant Com
mander Buchanan of the Florida made
an inspection tour tnrouga u.
There was great surprise among the
Mexicans who had gathered there that
the prisoners were not released. They
had been accustomed to seeing the
victor' always release prisoners and
then impress them into his army.
Chief of Police Antonio Villa Vlcen
cio was taken prisoner by the Ameri
cans shortly after they had occupied
the main plaza of the city. ,It was
suggested to him that he continue in
his official capacity to direct the city's
protective system. He took th? mat
ter under advisement
Had the frightened mayor made up
his mind to accede to Admiral Fletch
er's suggestion,, wuich was made
through Consul Canada, the Mexicans
might have been spared the humilia
tion of being forced from their posi
tions, and undoubtedly a number ot
lives would not have been sacrificed.
Coincident with the orders for the
pflnflmi arivanre of the Americans, an
aged white-haired Mexican, carrying
the white flag of truce, cime down a
street from the center of the city. He
carried a letter to the chief of police,
the only authority he hoped to reach,
and desired Consul Canada to read it
Old Man Makes Appeal.
It was an urgent appeal to the chief j
of police to call off the snipers and
prevent the bombardment he believed
would follow if they continued their
execution. Even before the messenger
had climbed the stairs into the con-,
sul's office, Captain Rush was in
formed of the contents of the note he
bore and immediately sounded "Cease
firing" and "Halt."
But it was too late. The action had
been begun all along the line and it
was not considered wise to attempt
further measures to stop it. The com
manders ordered their men forward at
the double quick, which they carried
out with a vigor that, afterward gave
them the city.
Blood-bespattered sidewalks, broken
windows and bullet-scarred walls gave
the plaza a fearful aspect. Within the
Diligencla hotel there were 40 Ameri
cans, most of them women, who had
been there since the commencement

Knowledge for tne poor.
For the well man, or woman, diet
etic knowledge is primarily a question ' ii
of dollars and cents, but for thev j
poor man; particularly with a family
of growing children, this aspect of
the case may have a very powerful
effect upon health. As Dr. Graham
Lusk has very well said, the laboring
man's efficiency depends upon his
stoking, and every man, or his wife,
should be a competent fireman at this
sort of stoking. No one, for example, j
having trouble to make both ends meet
should spend money for a can of to*
matoes, or any one of dozens of oth
er so-called foods, which have, com
paratively speaking, no food value
whatever. It is ordinarily estimated
that a hard-working man requires
about 3,000 calories per day, an office
man about 2,500. , - /

Housework Is a Borden
It's hard enough to keep house if in
perfect health, but a woman who is
weak, tired and suffering from an aching
back has a heavy burden.
Any woman in this condition has good
cause to suspect kidney trouble, especial
ly if the kidney action seems disordered.

sands of suffering women. It's the best
