LAWRENCE. Mass.. Feb. --Btorm
scenes marked the beginning of the
seventh week of the Lawrence textile
workers' strike today. In the early
morning affair nearly a doaen shots were
fired from tenement houses upon a squad
of Metropolitan Psrk police and the of
fleers returned the tire. The strike
sympathisers were arrested aa a result
of the shooting, ons. of them being taken
to the hospltsl. with a bullet wound in
his back.
Essex street, the principal thorough
fare, waa In disorder for half an hour
while several thousand - strikers and
friends paraded along the picket Une,
Jeering tha police aa sniutla and singing
the revolutionary none fX-'Intematlonala"
The demonstration was a protest against
the sctlon of the polled Saturday In pre
venting the sending 'of a company of
children to Philadelphia.
'At the railway depot ths crowd became
so noisy that police relnforoemrnts were
called out. The officers bundled a dosen
demonstrator Into automobile which car
ried them to . the police station. In only
ons rase did an officer use his club. No
women were arrested. The demonstra
tion was not ended until the officers had
charged tha crowd off Essex street opt
to the common, hslf a mile from the
railroad station.
There waa no apparent response to an
appeal tor a general strike of all workers
In Lawrence -to "tie up the town." All
the mills seemingly retained their operat
ing strength. The strikers' pickets were
unusually active and twenty of tliem were
arrested for Intimidation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. av-The Fourth
Infantry, now divided between Fort
Crook (Omaha)', and Fort Logan H.
Root (Hot Springs. Ark.) was ordered to
day to be prepared to entrain for Sao
Antonio, on receipt of a second message.
Th War department waa thrown Into
a state of excitement here today by tele
graphic reports of the arrival of a largs
band of Insurgents in the vicinity of
Juares. U opposite V. raso, and of
serious fighting in the outskirts of the
town. These reports, it was explained at
the department, 'came from army
officers" and th department official
were startled a second time by press dis
patches from 'El Paso declaring there
had been absolutely - no ' fighting lb
J us res or Its environs. None of th de
partment officials would comment on ths
oompiex sltastlon.
The Immediate effect of the Juares re
ports wss to cause th dispatch of order
looking to further movement toward the
border of troops. Including the Fourth In
fsntry, which probably will be the first
regiment to reinforce th border patrol.
Mo lavaalen Contemplated. '
The assemblage of troop on th border
doss not mean a projected Invasion of
Mexico, It Is emphasised at the War de
part menu, sot It Is admitted the troops
will not hesitate to croe the boundary
line to Insure the maintenance of a
neutral none broad enough lo Insur th
safety of person on ths American (Ida
"There la no thought of Intervention In
Mexico," aaid Secretary of War Stimson
at lk Whit House today. "All' that w
propos to do Is to p rot ict Amrka
Uvea and property, and thta win do.'
There ts general belief: here that to
Mexican will respect a neutral son and
will not lnts even a temporary Invasion
of American troops.
. Senator Stone of Missouri Introduced a
resolution todsy directing ths foreign
Istlons committee to make an Inquiry Into
the conditions on the Mexican border and
to report Ita finding and recommenda
tions as, to th duty of th 1'nlted States.
Realising ths need of a stronger patrol
on the Mexican border In Arlxona the
War department today ordered two com
panies of th Fourth cavalry to Douglas
and on company to Nogalea from San
Antonio. Captain Mahltn Craig of the
general staff has been ordered to go im
mediately from San Francisco to the
Imperial valley to Investigate condition.

' EL PASO, Feb.'3l-EI Pasonan ar at
a loss to explain the origin of a report
that fighting has occurred it Jaurea, or
ten mllea south of that city. There has

O'clock. A peace commission which will

sttsck unless the town surrender as
soon as reinforcements a thousand strong
arrive from th south. Juares Is guarded
by over 404 spparently determined, bat
untried men, and the official declare
they will put up a fight If attacked.
Mexican Consul E. C. Llorente. In Ei
Pso, says Pancho Villa and to) ' loyal
stste troop are enrout to Juares from
Chihuahua and that the rebees may be
expected ts be attacked from the rear at
any time. This morning a committee of
Juares eitlseni went out to the rebel
camp to appeal to tbe rebel lo return
south without attacking and avoid a
possible cause for Intervention, which
might corns If the town Is attacked. ' A
bridge which the Juares dtlsens burned

from slipping In en train ha been re
built under a temporary true asd th

El Pas when attacking.
All ta How let:
American Consul T. D. Edwards, in
Juares, aald at noon In rospons to a tele
phone call:
"There I no furhtlng- near Juares.
