CALMLY TAKES ACID AT FIANCEE'S HOME

Thurman Mitchell Drains Bottle Walks Into House and Drops Unconscious Without Word. ACT FOLLOWS THREAT When Miss Eadler Delays .Marriage a Week Deceased Prophesied She Would Regret It. Thurman Mitchell, 308 North Nineteenth street, shortly after 9 o'clock last night, while standing in front of the home of his sweetheart, Miss Ida Eadler, 736 North Fourteenth street, whom he was to marry next Saturday, drank the contents of a threeounce bottle of carbolic acid, walked into the house, took a drink of water in the kitchen, then returned to the front room, removed his coat, collar and necktie and fell to the floor in a dying condition. A half hour later, without having received the attention of a physician, he was removed to Reid Memorial hospital in the city ambulance. He died there seven minutes after his arrival. He never spoke after taking the acid, and became unconscious within five minutes after taking it Thurman Mitchell is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Mitchell. He was 21 years old. Miss Eadler, who is about '19 years old and a strikingly pretty girl of the brunette type, lives with her mother, Mrs. Mary Parker. She was at the home of a neighbor next door, when Mitchell drank the acid, and was awaiting his arrival to accompany her uptown to a theatre. Despondent Some Time. Neither Miss Eadler, her mother nor the young woman's aunts, Miss Cora 'King and Mrs. Lottie Davis, could assign any cause for the young man's rash act, except that for some time he had been despondent. He would never tell them, however, they said, the cause iof his despondency, despite their frequent questioning. Mr. Mitchell, the father, said this morning that neither he nor the other members of the family had noticed evidences of despondency on the part of Thurman. They said he was always in a cheerful mood, and - yesterday while workihg with his father In a West Richmond sawmill, appeared to be in the best of spirits. Mr. Mitchell appeared to be reluctant to give his opinion as to what might have been the motive of his son in killing himself. The Mitchell family learned from reporters for the first time today that Thurman Mitchell and Miss Eadler were to have been married next Saturday, and that they would have been married last Saturday but for Mrs. Parker's objections. She thought they should wait a little longer. "I don't understand why some one did not summon a doctor right after Thurman drank the acid," said his sister, Mrs. Pearl Piatt. Officer Wenger said the ambulance was summoned about twenty-five or thirty minutes after Mitchell made his suicidal attempt. He gave him a pound of epsom salts, which rallied him a little and kept him alive until he could be taken to the hospital. Threatens Suicide. "Thurman had been acting strange of late," said Miss Eadler. "He appeared to be very nervous and despondent, and every once in a while he threatened to kill himself, but we thought he was joking, and never gave these threats any consideration. Irately when he would call on me he would . frequently, begin to cry. When I would ask him what was the matter, he would say he had a lot of trouble, end that would be all I could get out of him." She then told about Thurman calling last evening about 7 o'clock and asking her to go to a theatre with him, which she agreed to do. He told lier he would go home and dress and i"would come back later. While he was gone she and her aunt, Miss King, visited a neighbor, but when they returned Mitchell had not called so they went next door to have some ice cream. While there Mitchell arrived with a friend, Albert Hahn, 412 North Thirteenth street. Mrs. Davis greeted them and Hahn remarked that he was going to Anderson to work and was going to take Mitchell with him. "No tyou are not," Mitchell retorted. "This is what I am going to take. He took a bottle of carbolic acid from his poo ket and drank it. Then he hurried to the kitchen and back to the front room. Mrs. Parker followed him from the kitchen to the front room, begging him to tell her what he had done. He clutched at her and then fell to the floor. A Letter Lost. When Miss Eadler was summoned her mother would not allow her to go to the side of her dying sweetheart, fearing she would be prostrated. "I wish you reporters could find what he did with the letter he wrote to his mother last Sunday while he was here," the girl said. Mr. Mitchell informed the newspaper men that his wife had never received this letter. All his clothes were searchd for it, but in vain. Miss Eadler says that after Thurman wrote the letter he began to cry. She asked him to let her read it, but he refused, saying, "You will have the chance to read it soon enough." "Thurman Mitchell was a fine boy, and just like one of the family," said Mrs. Parker. "He had been keeping company wlth my daughter for over three years. I think he must have been mentally deranged." "When Thurman wanted me to marry him last Saturday and mother objected he got mad and said we would regret what we had done the rest of our lives," interrupted Miss Eadler. "He got. over this angry spell, however, and seemed to be mighty pleased when mother consented to us getting marmarried next Saturday. Oh, I don't know why he did this. Something was wrong with him. He might have brooded because he had not been working steadily of late. Last week he worked at a feed store, but this week he was working with his father." On April 6, Mitchell was one of three young men who appeared as prosecuting witnesses against Frank Simmons, convicted of selling liquor illeagally at his cigar store on North Eighth street. Some time ago he was arrested for a fight he had with his brother-in-law, whom his sister, Mrs. Sla.it, recently divorced.- .. '- -

Cross, Staff Correspondent of the International News Service. VERA CRUZ, Mex., April 22. Rear Admiral Badger's dun-colored dreadnaughts of the Atlantic fleet arrived here early today and anchored off the harbor. It was still dark when they arrived here. The salute from Admiral Fletcher's flagship, the Florida, gave notice that they had come. With the arrival of Admiral Badger's ships and those from Tampico under command of Rear Admiral Mayo, the american commander will be able to land 15,000 marines and sailors. Machine guns have been mounted at strategic points about these structures and a heavy guard has been stationed about the American consulate where Consul Canada during the night directed the departure of American refugees to the steamers Esperanza and Mexico. Intense anxiety was caused here today by the failure of the third section of a special train bearing Americans from Mexico City to arrive. This section carried three hundred Americans, mostly women and children, who left Mexico City yesterday. Bridges Blown Up. It is reported here that General Maas has blown up the large bridge on the Mexican railroad just outside Vera Cruz, and friends of the refugees fear that all railroad communication has been cut off, and that the fleeing Americans will have to make their way overland. This would prove a perilous journey in view of the present conditions. There was intense activity around, the United States -consulate, with refugee Americans frantically attempting to get word of their safety to relatives or friends in the United States. The United States troops, who had been in the first landing party, bivouacked in the street or in buildings provided by the American consul. The wind was freshening and the skies were clouding up for a norther when the first boat put off from the fleet to take Vera Cruz. Beginning shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday morning the activities among the sailors and marines on the Utah, Florida and the transport Prairie indicated action. The Prairie steamed from her position to a point opposite the custom house, and about a quarter of a mile from shore. Her boats were lowered and marines could be seen clamboring into them with their guns clasped in their hands. At the stroke of twelve the first, with United States flags rippling at their stern, bumped the wharf and the men began climbing ashore at double quick. Ready for Action. Boat after boat discharged its cargo with the precision of clockwork, and soon three hundred men were upon Mexican soil ready for action. In the meantime boats from the Utah and Florida were putting off, making their way toward the shore under the protection of the firing guns on the warships. At 1:30 o'clock the Utah sent a landing party to a point near the Mexican barracks. The guns of the Prairie were flaming, and under this fire the boats made the shore without any resistance from the Mexicans. Admiral Fletcher flashed a signal to the Prairie to discontinue its bombardment, and the moment the guns ceased to roar a detachment of mamines put off from one of their warships and marched through the streets to the British consulate. The English consul offered the protection of the union jack to any American refugees who might be cut off from the American consulate by the battle .fire. At 2:30 o'clock the Mexican fire had become furious, and the Prairie dropped a few shells Into the quarters where .the Mexican fire was heaviest. Admiral Bush, of the Florida, who commanded the landing party, sent detachments of men to seize the postoffice and railway terminals. The American troops had to pass through a scathing rifle fire from an unseen enemy, but not a man flinched. With these strategic points of vantage in the hands of the Americans, Bush decided he had the city in complete control, and refused to send any of his forces into the heart of the city and expose them to a needless death-dealing fire. At 3 o'clock Captain Hughes came ashore. As he passed by a squad of marines manning a three-inch gun from the Florida, he stopped and smiled pleasantly. Marines Cheer. "Well, boys, are you having as much fun as you expected?" he asked. The marines cheered, and one of them shouted: "You bet we are!" Reports came to Hughes that the Mexican fire was increasing. At 3:30 o'clock he sent a message to General Maas, the Mexican commandant, saying that if the Mexicans were not called off the American fleet would bombard the city. By early afternoon there were about one thousand men upon the shore front and the streets around the cable office and the United States consulate. They were equally divided between jackies and marines. Before the boats of the first landing party reached the shore the Mexican

clerks in the custom house had taken alarm and were leaving their desks. Word spread among the troops In the Federal garrison that the "gringoes" were landing an army, and panic spread among them. The Mexican officers seemed amazed at the quickness of teb American action, and were unable to comprehend the situation. With an offcer at their head, detachments of marines were marched into the custom house and took formal possession.' The Mexican flag was lowered from the mast and the Stars and Stripes were soon rippling in the wind. "In the name of the United States government we hereby take possession," said the officer. The Mexicans made no resistance. A similar scene was witnessed at the cable office, the cable company being a Mexican government Institution. Then the troops were deployed and the streets about the United States consulate were seized and policed. A number of Mexicans whose curiosity had risen above their fears, went to the water front, but were ordered back. Up to this time no Mexican soldiers had been seen, but now rifles began to crack from the tops of buildings and church towers in the vicinity of the American consulate. A marine, who had just raised his rifle to fire at a sharpshooter, fell with a bullet through his body. He was carried into the cable office, where he died an hour later. An old church tower near the cable office, was a particular source of danger, and from the ramparts of this holy edifice a handful of Mexican civilians and soldiers were pouring down a sharp rifle fire. Fire Dies Away. A detachment of marines whirled a three-inch gun into position and Ensign Cresip aimed the first shot. It tore into the aged masonry, scattering stone and mortar. Several shots followed and there were no more rifle bullets from this quarter. After four o'clock the Mexican fire died away, but there were intermittent bursts which caused great annoyance to the United States forces. As night drew on, the Americans attempted to get some estimate of the Mexican dead. Early reports stated that between 150 and 200 Mexicans had been killed and many were wounded, but it was believed that later figures would fall below this estimate. Sailors who searched houses which the Mexicans had used as improvised fortresses, reported that many of the dead were without uniform. This made it evident that the brunt of the fighting on the Mexican side had fallen upon civilians. Just before sunset a party of marines was sent to hold Second street, which leads from the water front to the main plaza. The guns were planted to sweep the plaza and the troops were bivouacked in the street during the night to prevent Mexicans from approaching the harbor front along that route during the darkness. General Maas, accompanied by his family, was reported to have fled from Vera Cruz in a carriage at midafternoon when the irresistible advance of the American tars was sweeping all before them. At the junction of Calle Estand Morelos and Main street the Americans came upon a disabled 75-millimeter machine gun, from which the Mexicans had directed a few volleys at the approaching Americans. Cramped behind the cariage was found the dead body of a Mexican officer, one of the few i who remained on the firing line. COMMITTEES REPORT Progress of Yard Cleaning Outlined. Members of the yard cleaning committee consisting of the civic improvement committee of the Commercial club and representatives of women's organizations met at the call of Chairman John McCarthy today and chairmen of sub-committees in charge of the preparations reported their work t6 date.

May 7, which is the last day of cleaning week. The committees probably will arrange to make the distribution of plants the following day.

OFFICER EXPECTS CALL FOR SOLDIERS - i Corporal Abbott Says Richmond Men Ready to Rush to Mexican Border.

A call for volunteers will be the probable result of expected attacks on the American line by Mexican rebels, was the belief expressed by Corporal Abbott, army recruiting officer. Cor-, poral Abbott expects Villa to carry on border warfare in support of Huerta should matters reach a climax. "In the event the Texas border towns are attacked, many troops will be needed," Corporal Bond stated. "And if there is a call for volunteers, the American people will respond as they always do. "The men of this town are more than , willing to rush to the front as volunteers to defend the country and I have had many come to me and assure me they would enlist on call." Corporal Abbott announced that he will ask Captain Thomas F. Ryan of Indianapolis to send him to the front if active war develops and place an older man in the recruiting office here. Corporal Abbott believes Americans in Mexico are in danger now and stated the best thing they can do is to travel towards this country as rapidly as possible during nights. Probably Americans knowing the country would not be pressed into service as scouts, Corporal Abbott believes. The best type of men, well educated, brave or "nervy" are used in the scout service even though they know nothing of the nature of the land they are in. As the constitution of the United States provides that the state militia cannot be called out on the offensive and only to repel invasion, it is probable that no discrimination will be made In the first call for troops, should any be made. The militiamen would be given a chance to enlist in the volunteer forces or in the regular army. Several applicants were turned away today and yesterday because of physical deficiencies. TAFT BACKSWILSON Former President Urges United Support. BY LEASED WIRE NEW YORK, April 2. William H. Taft received the news of the stirring events at Vera Cruz at the home of his brother. After Mr. Taft had been given the full details of the fighting at Vera Cruz he was informed that a statement from him would undoubtedly be of public benefit. "If you think that," said Mr. Taft. "I will gladly make it. I deeply deplore the killing of our marines and bluejackets at Vera Cruz. It is unnecessary for me to say with what abhorence I view war, but I am heartily supporting the president in this matter, tl is the duty of every American to stand by Mr. Wilson on an occasion like this when we have become involved in a quarrel with another country."

Richmond clerks employed in stores are to form a union which is to be affiliated with the American Federation of .Labor.
